I remember going to a Veterans Day meal event at a Orlando FL area Applebee's 🍎 late 2010s. I walked in, ordered a 🍔 & saw a bunch of bugs crawl over my table. 😩
@@amandachilds5290yeah don’t even get me started with that. Worked at a BJ’s that was NEXT DOOR to a BJ’s clubhouse. Got the questions allllll the time 😆
I still remember the time we were “fine dining” at Olive Garden and there were a couple of REAL Italian guys in the booth behind us…we don’t speak Italian so I’m sure we missed a lot, but I can still see the incredulous looks on their faces as they read the menu and their uproarious laughter when their food arrived.
Among Americans olive garden is the McDonalds of Italian food. They don't even make food fresh in house. The food comes pre made and frozen and they reheat it. Disgusting.
Doesn't surprise me. I ate at a REAL Italian restaurant in New York City, and when I asked the waitress if they put chicken in their fettuccini alfredo, she looked at me like she was about to call Bruno out of the kitchen to beat my ass! lol
True story (and somewhat sad) I proposed to my wife at an Applebees in 2004. We were literally the only customers in there so we got applause from the 2 servers, the bartender, and a few kitchen staff.
They closed several restaurants, but lots of people order chicken wings. And theirs aren't bad, plus they have/had the best fish and chips of any of the chains
Absolutely Top Shelf. Matt's acting with the looking back and forth to the other characters while he's monologuing is professional level technique. This content is definitely a cut above. Thanks Matt!
Aussie living in Texas. We used to joke that the host at Outback Steakhouse would hit the panic button under the bar because Actual AustraliansTM were there 😆... but the food was still pretty dang good tbf.
I had an Aussie friend and when we were talking about the first places we ever drank alcohol at, he practically imploded when I said the words "Outback Steakhouse" He absolutely hates it (for obvious reasons) and I told him, if it makes him feel better I didn't find anything noteworthy about it besides the fact that their frozen cocktails were delicious, my mom accidentally stole a sauce bowl and I HATED their baked potatoes because they put so much salt on it that it was practically inedible. He admired the fact that all I cared about there was the alcohol and said "they don't sell Victoria Bitter, that's ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW"
My husband was looking at the menu recently and went “what the 🤬 is Toowoomba sauce?!” and looked it up. It’s Alfredo sauce. They decided to rename Alfredo sauce. So naturally, being the good wife that I am, I immediately made sure to buy the ingredients for a chicken Alfredo pasta the following day. “What’re we having for dinner?” “Chicken Toowoomba pasta!” 😂😂😂 I don’t think I’ve actually used to word Alfredo sauce at home since - and I’ve gotten all our friends on board, too. 😁
A friend of mine is Australian and came to the US on business for a while several years ago. Her bestie in the US took her to Outback with her knowing it was fake Aussie. She reported afterward that it was even worse than she'd imagined, but she loved the food. This latter fact annoyed the hell out of her. 😆
I used to work at Cracker Barrel and was declared King of the Crackers by one of the cooks who got mad when I told him he needed to recook a steak for the 2nd time cause he apparently didn't know what medium-well was. He has sent out a steak rare twice.
During my travels across the US I stopped at a Cracker Barrel. One step inside I immediately left, cuz there were so many white people that I thought I stumbled in on a Klan meeting!
The Olive Garden is where my mom took me to a “nice dinner” and told me about the birds and the bees-complete with diagrams she drew on pink and blue paper and tears on my mom’s part. Our poor waiter.
@BethanyBarnthson 😂🤣ha ha ha, too funny, LOL, ROTFL! Talking about the birds and the bees in a restaurant. BTW I didn't want to hear it (even though I found out about it in the privacy of home), and definitely not from my intimidating mother! I would have preferred to hear it from my easygoing Dad.
@@edgarburlyman738 I edited my reply but what I said was "this 😂🤣 means tears of laughter." Then I realized you directed the question to someone else, not me.
We moved from Texas to California 20 years ago. My dad and I went to a Texas roadhouse for that taste of home. They had beans in their chili, and they had Mr Pibb and not Dr Pepper. And the only fried item I recall on the menu was the chicken fried chicken that wasn't very good. I still remember my dad asking the waitress, "Ma'am, have the owners of this place ever been to Texas?" I have never been back.
I'm from Texas and had to work in Cali a few years back. Pretty much nothing I ate the entire time I was in the state was memorable. Except the In-N-Out fries. Those were memorably bad.
Beans in chili is unforgiveable !Mr Pibb, is however an acceptable substitue for Dr Pepper. Dr Pepper doesn't taste like Dr Pepper any more. Ice cold bottles from the gas station were always THE treat when we were kids on road trips. Sorry. I got to reminising 😂
I am now thoroughly confused. I knew that places like Ohio did the beanless, sweet marinara type of chili but I could have swore that Texas was where beans in chili originated.
My boyfriend just moved from CA to TX (he was only there for work - I swear!) When I'd go there to visit him, I couldn't get a sweet tea to save my life. I broke down & ordered an UNsweet tea once & asked for some sugar...the waitress brought me ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER. I gave up & only drank vodka-based drinks from there on out. It crushed my soul 😏
I love that I can hear the air conditioner in the background of a couple of these cuts. And then you can see where Matt is SUFFERING. Matt, just bite the bullet and turn on the AC. We don't want you to be sweaty!!
That was incredible. As a 20+ hospitality survivor and a person with general disdain of anything chain and not local, this was perfect. I've worked at one of those places, and had friends and coworkers work at a few others. Spot on representation. Also huge shout out to the writing! And to Chef Mike.
Local doesn't guarantee better. I worked at a locally owned "Italian" restaurant that was no better than Olive Garden, and was mismanaged (e.g., neglecting kitchen repairs) as well. I felt no disappointment when that place went out of business.
Matt, you owe me a new keyboard. I just snorted at the BJ"s comment and spewed my drink all over. Oh my gosh, this whole video was hilarious. Made my day, week, and month!
Had an Australian co-worker come over here, he wanted to go to Outback, I tried to talk him out of it... As far as Foster's goes, he said "We export that shyte"
I live in a med size US city with a metro pop of around 800000/900000. Heavy tourist-business convention crowds. The casual dining, chain places near me 🍽 stay fairly busy; 600pm - 1200am due to the large intl airport near by. ✈️
I'm Australian. I honestly can't think of what cuisine I'd put into an authentic Australian restaurant that's even half way fancy. We have the legendary sausage sandwich (grilled sausage + 1 slice of bread + onion + condiment) which you can get at our most popular hardware store for $2 for some reason, fairy bread (100's and 1000's on buttered bread almost exclusively served at kids birthday parties) and lamingtons (coconut sprinkles on a rectangular bite sized cake that's actually pretty awesome) for dessert. Yeah I'm one of the 50% that hates vegemite. I have one close relative who's into it and we're wondering if she got switched at the hospital. Everything else is either imported (we all love Thai food for some reason) or generic like grilled steaks or fresh seafood. We do now export kangaroo meat (almost no fat but very difficult to keep tender, has a slightly noticeable blood tang to it that I'm not super fond of) but you can't build a whole franchise on that.
@@belacickekl7579 We have a few gems. Meat pies are definitely one of our legendary foods that I somehow forgot about. I hear Tim Tams aren't available in many places outside the US?

I just now saw this and it's easily one of the funniest things you've ever done. So many little moments past the halfway point, from " Y'all are a dark bunch" to the end was hilarious.
So many references, so many accurate depictions, but I think my favorite was the "We sell chairs" and "We throw chairs" bit between Cracker Barrel and Waffle House. Great stuff!!
Amazing Matt, you are a treasure! Bless Your Rank, If whatever Could Talk and your SEC commentary are some of the absolute best items on the web. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
It’s a step up from fast food! Well, more of a sidestep, there’s places like Jersey Mike’s which are technically fast food, but don’t have a drive-thru. Which, by the way, Subway counts as fast food because they *had* a drive-thru.
As a Tampa native I was hoping for some joke about Outback being the family friendly local alternative to wing house, hooters and all the other boob themed restaurants in the Tampa Bay Area.
I went into an Applebees once and went right back out. It smelled like decades of sadness, nicotine, and urine. I cannot say if all Applebees are like this, but that was my 10-20 second experience. 🤮🥴
@@BengtBagels All you need to know about Applebees is that the cut their ribs across the bone, instead of along it, so instead of getting pork BBQ that you can eat like chicken wings, you get something like fatty poker chips.
As a person who grew up going to the first Texas Roadhouse (it's 8 minutes from my house), I appreciate you saying SOUTHERN Indiana.... we are definitely not like the northern part of the state. Lol!! Also, no, I don't know why they named it Texas.... but would you go to Indiana Roadhouse?
Probably should just call it “Roadhouse” I guess. Texan here, can confirm it’s very scarcely Texan, even ones actually located in Texas. Good rolls I guess. lol
Nostalgia moment, stepping down into the bar area at Applebee’s is like stepping down to the lower part of the stage for a physical challenge on Double Dare 😂
I remember as a kid thinking IHOP was amazing, lol. Now I'd rather just make breakfast at home. Never had a bad experience at Waffle House though, and its so effing cheap.
The cook at the Murphy NC Waffle House was outside smoking when I showed up…. And followed me to take my order. Ya I would say the video got it correct.
I love how absolutely wholesome Cracker Barrel is. They've been building one where I live and it's going to be opening soon (sometime this month, I think). I'm excited to give them a try.
Their cinnamon apples were once great if you get them as a side dish!!! They used to have them available to buy in jars inside the shop, but the one we went to change it to cans and they were awful, idk what happened 😭
@@RaynmanPlays that's my point, when they were sold in a glass jar, they were delicious, but now that they switched to selling them in cans, they were awful
Ah, cracker barrel, the place where I can't seem to get biscuits without the texture of a charcoal briquette. Lobster is a giant shrimp with no real flavor. People stop kidding yourself. You love butter, not giant aquatic bugs. The blooming onion sounds like a county fair favorite out of Georgia. I reckon I gotta look this up. Finally, why do we have boneless chicken wings but no boneless frog legs? And why not chicken livers on a stick to dip in a fondue pot of white gravy?
My oldest is having a hysterectomy soon so today is emotional,but I had her watch this with me,and now she is laughing,, hysterically 😂😂😂 Thanks Matt 👍💯😂🤣
Matt, this was hilarious! I loved it. Thank you and please keep up the great fun! I'm always excited when I get a notification about a new video from you. I know I'm going to be smiling and laughing. God bless you and your family,
Texas road house was a surprise. I’m from southern Indiana. That place is ALWAYS packed! Oh and there are so many peanut shells on the floor it sound like you are walking through tall grass. But there is nothing Texas about it. It’s where all the golfers, businessmen, and churchgoers go to wait in a line that lasts a fortnight. Lines normally take 1 hour minimum. Services isn’t great…
As with all your videos, this stuff is comic-gold. I had to pause and LOL out loud when you made the joke about BJ's. awesome from start to finish = again, as usual.

Well, more of a sidestep, there’s places like Jersey Mike’s which are technically fast food, but don’t have a drive-thru. Which, by the way, Subway counts as fast food because they *had* a drive-thru.
Jersey Mikes is a little pricy but also underrated.
Actually one of the Jersey Mike's in my area has a drive-thru. They are in their own building, though, and not in a strip mall.
I remember a Subway in Havelock, NC that had a drive thru a few years ago.
@@hardcharging I only know they exist/existed because of Lethal Weapon 2. "They FUCK YOU with the drive through!"
@@Noledad77 It is a bit pricey, but so are the other sub chains, and JM's has the best flavor imo
Feel like there could have been more explored here, hoping we get a part 2 of even 3.
I smiled and laughed the whole way through that and I’m from the UK! Brilliant Matt ♥️👍
As an American I can tell you he is spot on with these! That's why he's so hilarious, all his videos are sooooo true!
What? No mention of Buc-ees? Even though you have to eat the stuff in your car?
Best line on BW3: “We’re just a Best Buy that serves food”.
Classic!
Buc ee's food is pretty good, and probably the reason they have so many toilets!

Dude best joke I've heard in YEARS!!!
This is some witty gold here. Well done.
Should have included Huddle House so that there would be a three-way over the top rope battle royale with Waffle House and Cracker Barrel.
Do you think IHOP could get in on this action?
Don’t forget Denny’s
Waffle House would throw a chair at Huddle house.
As a Tampa native I was hoping for some joke about Outback being the family friendly local alternative to wing house, hooters and all the other boob themed restaurants in the Tampa Bay Area.
I can't recall, but have we had the restaurant rolls discussion yet? Because I feel that we *sweet honey cinnamon rolls* should have that discussion.
Big ups to the 🦞 Red Lobster cheddar biscuits. ✅️
Love the video as always BUT, put out SEC Roll Call Week 0 soon please. I've been waiting all week for it LOL
Me too!!!
Okay, I spit up my drink at "gospel CD collection."
😂 that ending was THE BEST!! 🤣🤣🤣
"A toddler the size of a small mountain"!!! I almost died!!!
Hey...I loved the bar at our Applebees...probably because I knew the bartender and rarely paid for beer 🤣🤣🤣
I went into an Applebees once and went right back out. It smelled like decades of sadness, nicotine, and urine. I cannot say if all Applebees are like this, but that was my 10-20 second experience. 🤮🥴
@@BengtBagels no, you've got it right. They're all like that.
@BengtBagels well...when I went it was like 25 years ago lol
@@BengtBagels All you need to know about Applebees is that the cut their ribs across the bone, instead of along it, so instead of getting pork BBQ that you can eat like chicken wings, you get something like fatty poker chips.
I would have died more if he would have been in the short shirt and orange shorts for Hooters and delivered that same line. 😂
This by far as the best one you have ever done Matt I liked it fell out of my chair laughing when I saw you light that cigarette
This is great! Right when I thought it couldn't get any funnier, it did! Thanks, Matt for all the laughs!!
The Buffalo Wild Wings is so true
Mellow Mushroom being included is just... so right.
As a person who grew up going to the first Texas Roadhouse (it's 8 minutes from my house), I appreciate you saying SOUTHERN Indiana.... we are definitely not like the northern part of the state. Lol!! Also, no, I don't know why they named it Texas.... but would you go to Indiana Roadhouse?
Probably should just call it “Roadhouse” I guess. Texan here, can confirm it’s very scarcely Texan, even ones actually located in Texas. Good rolls I guess. lol
Indiana Roadhouse is where Patrick Swayze beat Up all those people, right?
The founder was literally from Austin.
Nostalgia moment, stepping down into the bar area at Applebee’s is like stepping down to the lower part of the stage for a physical challenge on Double Dare 😂
Nice of Mellow Mushroom to drop in, really been craving those pretzels lately
Feel like IHOP or Denny's should have made an appearance since Waffle House did.
Dennys 2023, where you litterly see only 2, two Dennys employees working; 800am Tue.
He'll probably do a part 2!
I remember as a kid thinking IHOP was amazing, lol. Now I'd rather just make breakfast at home.
Never had a bad experience at Waffle House though, and its so effing cheap.
I smell a series
NGL, I really miss Denny's since we moved back to Georgia. IHOP turned out not to be a palatable substitute.
You did it again! Giggling like a dang fool over here !!!
Thanks, Matt !😂
I just love when you do these kind of things you are just so funny and so right lol
The confident, unashamed, "No you do not" at the end got me.
At working literally LOLing! I’m embarrassed but it’s worth it!
The most relateable thing I've watched in six months.
The cook at the Murphy NC Waffle House was outside smoking when I showed up…. And followed me to take my order.
Ya I would say the video got it correct.
Every restaurant cook in NC smokes!
The fact that Texas Roadhouse had it's hat on backwards proves how not Texas it is...
Great start to my day! Thanks.😂😂
I love how absolutely wholesome Cracker Barrel is. They've been building one where I live and it's going to be opening soon (sometime this month, I think). I'm excited to give them a try.
Their cinnamon apples were once great if you get them as a side dish!!! They used to have them available to buy in jars inside the shop, but the one we went to change it to cans and they were awful, idk what happened 😭
@@danielleking262 Apples are acidic. You're getting the delicious taste of _can_ in your cinnamon apples.
@@RaynmanPlays that's my point, when they were sold in a glass jar, they were delicious, but now that they switched to selling them in cans, they were awful
@@danielleking262 You said "idk what happened." I was telling you what happened.
@@RaynmanPlays 👎
Ahahahha ... so true.
Hey Matt, will we see a new SEC Roll Call soon? Your work on those are just hilarious!
Ah, cracker barrel, the place where I can't seem to get biscuits without the texture of a charcoal briquette.
Lobster is a giant shrimp with no real flavor. People stop kidding yourself. You love butter, not giant aquatic bugs.
The blooming onion sounds like a county fair favorite out of Georgia. I reckon I gotta look this up.
Finally, why do we have boneless chicken wings but no boneless frog legs? And why not chicken livers on a stick to dip in a fondue pot of white gravy?
Boneless chicken wings are just sauce-dipped chicken nuggets.
@@jamescooley5744 that is my hope for frog meat...
My oldest is having a hysterectomy soon so today is emotional,but I had her watch this with me,and now she is laughing,, hysterically 😂😂😂
Thanks Matt 👍💯😂🤣
i choked on my coffee at the BJ's joke
Matt, this was hilarious! I loved it. Thank you and please keep up the great fun! I'm always excited when I get a notification about a new video from you. I know I'm going to be smiling and laughing. God bless you and your family,
Texas road house was a surprise. I’m from southern Indiana. That place is ALWAYS packed! Oh and there are so many peanut shells on the floor it sound like you are walking through tall grass. But there is nothing Texas about it.
It’s where all the golfers, businessmen, and churchgoers go to wait in a line that lasts a fortnight. Lines normally take 1 hour minimum. Services isn’t great…
Well you can take your child to everyone of these, except Hooters, well some of them depending on what time of day it is.
There is Twin Peaks..the rustic cabin/plaid version of Hooters
I lost it wen he asked if he wanted to see what’s under the logo and when he replied no I completely lost it
As with all your videos, this stuff is comic-gold. I had to pause and LOL out loud when you made the joke about BJ's. awesome from start to finish = again, as usual.
“No, you do not.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
PAINFULLY accurate.
As the most Northern Northerner you have ever met!!!!! Repeat Ever MET! You are one of the Funniest and most entertaining UA-cam channel I have ever watched! Keep the hits coming! Woo Hoo that brownie is kicking in!!!!
Applebee's claiming to be the leader...when no one really cares what they think or do...
Accurate.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Lost my drink all over my keyboard laughing so hard. Love, love, love Matt and his comedy.
I feel that this could go on for some time... Look forward to more episodes!
I howled at the last one with "Hooters" Great bit Matt
I literally laughed out loud as soon as I read the title I already knew this was gonna be a banger😂😂😂😂
My Dad told me about the time he proposed to my Mom in an Applebees. I laughed so hard I got a stomache, and then he was like "It was back when they were good."
Applebees serves bread?!? Man it’s been a long time since I’ve ate there but I didn’t know they started doing that…
I think I knew that but nobody has butter like Texas Roadhouse. That cinnamon honey butter is DELICIOUS
