There are scads of local "chains" though and they are generally fairly good. We have a bunch of "Joe's" Pizza/Pasta places. Independent but connected and most of the owners are Albanian. Great food at reasonable prices and you can buy a slice.

Most of the best places have locations in each of the cities in the Metroplex.

Braum's, La Playa Maya, Benito's, Tommy's Burgers, are a few that come to mind.

Throw a rock and you will hit a family owned Mexican place.

Eating out here is never dull!!
