The Great American Restaurants (Sweetwater, Coastal Flats, etc) located here in NoVA are 10 times better than Cheesecake Factory in both service & food quality. I know its not a National Chain, but i do consider it somewhat of a chain restaurant since there are multiple locations of some of the restaurants.
