      Applebees is real, it's just the food and drinks which are fake.

      Little Caesar's is 10 dollar pizzas made of cardboard, one of those "you get what you pay for" situations

      Dunkin' Donuts is what people outside of America think Americans eat for breakfast. Even the matcha tea has sugar in it. Their Bavarian Creme is great tho.

      Sonic is a hamburger stand, and also has blue slurpee drinks.

      Waffle House is not only real, it has a reputation for being open even during natural disasters or national emergencies.

      Sonic is a drive-in, like those stereotypical American 1950's car hop diners. I'll catch hell from the south-of-the-Mason Dixon line crowd for saying this, but they're not as good as A&W, which is basically the same thing, but with actual edible slop. Sonic has a better selection of giant styrofoam tankards of various limeades and fizzy potions, while A&W serves root beer in frosty (read: chilled) glass tankards. Best fast food cheese curds you're going to find in the US, possibly only really challenged by Culver's.

      Ruby Tuesday is a faux fine dining slop place where everything on the menu is a microwaved bag of hot brown. The roasted zucchini sides are decent, and the salad bar was OK back before plague times, but yeah... Not really worth the price for what you're getting.

      Panera is a southern thrash/groove metal bistro-style restaurant renowned for their lead chef's racist antics and not loading most of their food with corn syrup and random preservatives. They also have baked goods, Five Minutes Alone, and flatbread pizzas. They're all right, but pricey for overglorified fast food, even if it's less terrible on your gut than, say, burgers, Anthrax, or Megadeth.
