Obviously, everyone has their own tastes and interests when it comes to restaurants and dating in general. The way we see it, however, is that some choices are objectively weird, whether you’re on a first date or celebrating a wedding anniversary. Some of our readers feel the same way. We put out a call on Threads for terrible date night suggestions and several of their responses made our list.
Here are some restaurants that are less than ideal for setting a romantic mood.
Applebee’s
Multiple locations These massive chain restaurants have a bad reputation when it comes to planning a date, so much so that we could’ve stacked this list with them and received zero backlash. In fairness, however, they’re not all so bad. Red Lobster has an ironclad co-sign from Beyonce, and there’s no denying that Olive Garden’s breadsticks go hard. While we may like Applebee's Dollarita season, it's particularly in our crossfire here due to the Walker Hayes single “Fancy Like,” where he brags his wife is so low-maintenance she doesn't protest Applebee's dates.Post by @angiemckee71View on Threads
