This Texas-based chain restaurant is so popular that 45-minute waits on weeknights aren’t unusual. Crowds come for the home-style cooking - steaks, burgers, salads, chicken pot pie, a pasta creation called Spasagna - and most items are listed on the menu for under 10 bucks. The portions are big, and the service is quick and attentive. And because of the prices, the restaurant is a magnet for large families. But don’t worry: There’s a full bar for harried parents who need a cocktail with their fried chicken tenders or beer-battered shrimp. — Charles Ferruzza
