Seasons 52

Though it’s the second-smallest chain on our list, with just 42 US restaurant locations, Seasons 52 has made a big impact on diners. The grill and wine bar earned the top ranking for customer satisfaction and is favored for its elevated farm-to-table fare and “rustic cooking techniques.” But the fresh seasonal and local ingredients come at a price: the average check comes in at $31.80.

The restaurant doesn’t just source its food from the surrounding communities; it also gives food back to them. Since 2007, Seasons 52, which belongs to Darden Restaurants alongside other favorites like Yard House, The Capital Grille, and LongHorn Steakhouse, has donated 420,000 pounds of unserved food to local food banks, shelters, and charities.
