The brand also received high scores in the Fast Service, Food Quality, Good Value and Menu Variety Categories.

&ldquo;Casual dining restaurants face fierce competition from fast casual brands. This research shows that consumers are questioning the value proposition of casual dining because they are not seeing the increase in food quality given the higher price,&rdquo; said Cheryl Flink, Market Force&rsquo;s chief strategy officer. &ldquo;Still, diners are seeking an experience when they go out for a casual dining meal, so that&rsquo;s an area that these chains can exploit to pull ahead of this new competition.&rdquo;
