Last year we went for the meat and this year we stayed for something sweet. I'm talking about America's favorite chain restaurant, according to a new study. Last year, America voted for Ruth's Chris Steak House as the fan-favorite for chain restaurants, but this year, we moved on from dinner.

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is a loved brand around the country. They're known for their great steaks and good hospitality. They've used the same recipe that was created by the founder of the brand and have continued with it ever since. They were the favorite last year, taking the crown for the best chain restaurant around the country. There is currently 1 Ruth's Chris Steak House in Connecticut and it's in Newington.

Now, America seemed to get a little sweeter in 2025. According to Delish, there's a new winner in the house. Nothing Bundt Cakes is the official new winner of America's favorite chain restaurant. While I have never heard of the brand before, I was intrigued. It is very possible that I'm living under a rock, but I needed to know what this brand is all about.

Nothing Bundt Cakes is known for their delicious desserts with many flavors. Their website talks about their different bundt cakes they have ranging from 8 and 10" cakes, bundtlets and bundtinis. They serve millions of people yearly and have over 600 locations.

Why have I never heard of this chain before? I took a scroll through their Instagram to see what these cakes were all about. In their most recent post, they talked about their limited edition flavors that were dropping.

These mini cakes look delicious. It makes sense why they're voted as a fan-favorite. A few flavors that grab my eye? Churro de Chocolate, Churro Dulce de Leche, Oreo, Confetti, Carrot, Red Velvet, the list goes on. I took a look and saw that there are 2 Connecticut locations. They have a Stamford location located at 838 High Ridge Road and a West Hartford location located at 1481 New Britain Ave.

Next time I'm in the area, I'm making my way over. I need to see what America's best chain restaurant is all about.
