Those may all be National chains, but they don’t have any locations in Vermont or Connecticut.
The only chain I’ve ever been to that serves lasagna is Olive Garden

Lol, laughs in Northeast....

Trivia question for a Northeasterner:

Which national chain isn't from the US:

Fazoli’s

Carabba’s

East Side Mario's

The Old Spaghetti Factory

Answer

!Answer:The Answer Is East Side Mario's!<

[-]

bryku@reddit

fazoli's... great times for a broke college student.

[-]

darwinsidiotcousin@reddit

Honestly I thought Fazoli's and Carabba's went out of business like 15 years ago lol

Buca Di Beppo is pretty limited nationally on how many Americans can even regularly visit, and I've never even heard of Spaghetti Factory

Didn't realize it until this post, but seems like lasagna really isn't on menus for most chain restaurants

[-]

ClickClick_Boom@reddit

There's 1 Fazoli's left in my city and the surrounding area. They were all over the place when I was a kid.

There were recently two of them and one was near me, I had a craving for it one day so I drove out there and it was all boarded up and closed. I swear it was just open a couple days before because I drove by it frequently. Fuckin' tragedy, Fazoli's is genuinely one of the better fast food joints in my opinion.

Now it's torn down and they're building a drive thru coffee chain there (not Starbucks, Dutch Bros IIRC?)

Fuckin' tragedy, Fazoli's is genuinely one of the better fast food joints in my opinion.

It was a favorite of mine when they were all over Atlanta before the late '00s. I thought they were completely gone from Georgia, but there are apparently three left in the northwest.

The last time I ate at one was in '24 in Festus, MO during a road trip. It was $30 for two of us, it wasn't as good as I remembered it, and the place wasn't spiffy (those last two could have been the particular franchise). It didn't make me want to visit one again.

[-]

darwinsidiotcousin@reddit

I had one by me growing up, but I think we only ever went there maybe 2 or 3 times, and I never heard about it. I don't even know where the next closest Fazoli's was. I didn't realize it was a chain until I was in college, and ours closed pretty soon after. I just assumed it had been gone a while

[-]

Scrappy_The_Crow@reddit

Honestly I thought Fazoli's and Carabba's went out of business like 15 years ago lol

There were seemingly dozens across metro Atlanta back then, and I thought they'd disappeared, but there are still:

Three Fazoli's left in Georgia, in the northwest part.
Eight Carabba's left in metro Atlanta.

[-]

TheJokersChild@reddit

Yeah, Fazoli and Spaghetti Factory are world-premiere names to me. Must not have made it this far northeast.

[-]

darwinsidiotcousin@reddit

Never lived over that way, no. Just traveled a few times.

[-]

IHaveBoxerDogs@reddit

We only have Olive Gardens and Cheesecake Factory in my major metro area. I thought Buca was out of business.

[-]

Asparagus9000@reddit

Still some where I live.

[-]

DharmaCub@reddit

Maria's probably.

[-]

Cheap_Coffee@reddit

I go hungry I guess.

[-]

Outlaw_Josie_Snails@reddit

Maggiano's Little Italy.

[-]

SheShelley@reddit

Macaroni Grill

[-]

robbbbb@reddit

Are there any left? All of the ones around here closed

[-]

SheShelley@reddit

I had to google it after I wrote this because all our local ones closed too. Apparently 17 in the U.S.

[-]

Scrappy_The_Crow@reddit

There were almost a dozen in Atlanta, now Google Maps says "temporarily closed" for the only one left.

[-]

SheShelley@reddit

The nearest one to me now is in Las Vegas and it also says that

[-]

BulldMc@reddit

I don't think I've ever eaten lasagna at a chain restaurant. It's always been a home-cooked sort of meal. Maybe one time at a little family Italian place? I remember someone ordered but I'm not sure if it was me.

[-]

Libertas_@reddit

Same, It's never even crossed my mind to get one from a restaurant.

[-]

miketugboat@reddit

Same.

[-]

NOTcreative-@reddit

Also same

[-]

maceilean@reddit

There was a local pizza place that had a special that I got once. Every other lasagna I've ever eaten has been homemade.

[-]

shelwood46@reddit

I've seen it as a daily special at a diner, but, yeah, not normal restaurant food.

[-]

DropTopEWop@reddit

Rosati's Pizza had really good lasagna

[-]

Harbinger_Kyleran@reddit

Maggioni's Little Italy would be my choice, if I liked lasagne.

[-]

Scrappy_The_Crow@reddit

Maggiano's

[-]

grrgrrtigergrr@reddit

Same here. Cesar and Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo is my go to

[-]

Ok_Orchid1004@reddit

There is no way I’d eat lasagne from a chain restaurant. I’d sooner eat stouffers from the grocery store and that’s garbage.

[-]

Scrappy_The_Crow@reddit

By "chain," do you mean a national chain like Olive Garden or Buca di Beppo? If so, I've never had lasagne at one.

The only restaurant where I can ever remember having lasagne is an Atlanta-area chain, Ippolito's (three locations now, used to be five or six). So, that's the answer, even though you can't really "pick" one when there's only one.

[-]

jrhawk42@reddit

Is Cheddar’s Spasagna an option? It's not really lasagna, and I don't even know if they still exist. Still I think I could eat that for the rest of my life.

[-]

NOTcreative-@reddit

What a dumb question. How often you eat lasagne at chain restaurants ?

I will at a local mom and pops Italian restaurant.

[-]

Garfield.

[-]

Sassifrassically@reddit

I have, as part of the trio at the Olive Garden

[-]

PrimusDCE@reddit

Maggiano's is pretty solid.

[-]

Neither_Internal_261@reddit

I've worked in several chains. I'd either go with Chili's or Famous Dave's. Famous Dave's is super legit food but it's all the same kind of thing (BBQ). Chili's is TexMex but have more variety so I'd honestly probably go with them.

[-]

phicks_law@reddit

Lasagne

[-]

Insomniac_80@reddit

Hmm, how would Famous Dave's take on Lasagna be? Maybe something like pulled pork in bbq sauce, layered with a really thick mad and cheese type cheese and layers of lasagna noodles?

[-]

OhThrowed@reddit

I don't even know which ones have lasagna.

[-]

Seeggul@reddit

At least in Utah, I can think of Macaroni Grill, Olive Garden, and Carrabba's.

Growing up with plenty of Stouffer's dinners, I would find any of these ~fine~

[-]

BalrogRuthenburg11@reddit

Wife makes hers with pepperoni, crackers, and ketchup. Better than any chain laysagna

[-]

MiserableMemory5149@reddit

Ketchup and crackers? What in the culinary hell?

[-]

ClickClick_Boom@reddit

> ketchup on lasagna

🤮

[-]

BalrogRuthenburg11@reddit

Oh gosh! We don’t put it on it. The ketchup goes inside as the tomato filling!

[-]

phicks_law@reddit

ive never had chain restaurant lasagne. I've had local mom and pop Italian restaurant. I've even had Stouffers a bunch growing up, but never a chain restaurant

[-]

Cerulean_IsFancyBlue@reddit

Doesn’t matter. The first one will sit in the freezer and never get eaten so it doesn’t matter what brand is on the box.

[-]

Tough_Height6530@reddit

Do chain restaurants serve lasangna?

[-]

BusybodyWilson@reddit

Olive Garden does

[-]

BusybodyWilson@reddit

I do not like lasagna, so doesn’t matter to me.

[-]

DropTopEWop@reddit

Cheesecake Factory

[-]

Curmudgy@reddit

I can’t find lasagna on their menu.

[-]

ClickClick_Boom@reddit

Keep looking

[-]

Curmudgy@reddit

I plugged “lasagna” into their search bar and came up empty. Maybe it’s been discontinued, because I do find mentions with a general web search, just not on their web site.

[-]

cyvaquero@reddit

None, it’s always so bland. I’ve literally never had any restaurant lasagna as good what I can make, and I’m just some guy that enjoys cooking.

[-]

PokeCaptain@reddit

Who orders lasagna at a chain???

[-]

BigDamBeavers@reddit

Is there more than one chain restaurant that makes lasagna?

[-]

Curmudgy@reddit

Likely none, because they’re unlikely to have a vegetarian lasagna.

[-]

paka96819@reddit

I would say Little Cesar’s but they stopped making it.

[-]

OpeningChipmunk1700@reddit

MY LASAGA

I have never had chain restaurant lasagne. It is my mom's favorite thing to make, and I love hers. To be clear, it is very Sandra Lee/semi-homemade, but it is still super tasty.

[-]

Sassifrassically@reddit

I guess Olive Garden, I think that’s the only one I’ve had and it tastes good enough

[-]

RubGlum4395@reddit

Mi Casa

[-]

VariegatedPlumage@reddit

I don’t remember what chain it was but like twenty years ago I had a veggie lasagna in a chain restaurant that was surprisingly good. White sauce, no tomato, lots of spinach and carrots. Would eat again, but I honestly can’t for the life of me remember where. It wasn’t Olive Garden, because my mom hated Olive Garden and would never take us there.

[-]

Antioch666@reddit

I have never had lasagna at a chain restaurant.

I don't think I ever had lasagna at a restaurant period. It is not typically a dish I would pick when eating out. Lasagna is synonymous with home cooking for me.

[-]

shelwood46@reddit

I hate lasagna, but I seldom see it on menus except as a special at a diner, since you have to make a whole pan of it up. Most Italian places in NJ don't even have it, it's a pain in the ass to make for restaurant use. I guess since I do not have to actually eat the lasagna, since they don't have it and I don't like it, probably Chilis or Texas Roadhouse.
