So who&#8217;s on top?<\/p>\n<p>YouGov BrandIndex, which surveys more than 1.2 million consumers annually, recently summarized their dining data over the first half of 2013 wherein respondents were asked the following question: \u00abIf you&#8217;ve heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth, was it positive or negative?\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Buzz scores range from -100 to 100 and are tallied by subtracting negative feedback from positive. Equal positive and negative feedback means a zero score.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the top five casual dining chains with the best reputation so far this year, along with their Buzz score:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0Olive Garden\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 23.3<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0Red Lobster\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 20.6<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0Applebee&#8217;s\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 16.4<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0Golden Corral\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 11.1<\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0Chili&#8217;s\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 10.9<\/p>\n<p>How robust is your business?
