The good news is that there are still restaurants out there doing everything they can to save you money. Fast food chains, for example, have resurrected their value menus that used to dominate in the '80s and '90s. And believe it or not, similar kinds of cost savings can also be found at sit-down chains. At select few, you can even find meal deals priced at less than $10 a pop.

Take, for instance, Cracker Barrel's new modern logo, which the restaurant recently backtracked on after strong customer rejection. And then there's this other homestyle restaurant chain that completely remodeled years ago, and no one really noticed: Bob Evans. The farmhouse kitchen, known for slinging solid country kitchen classics like biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, and pancakes, underwent significant modern renovations that the Ohio-based company called "Farm-Fresh Refresh," beginning in the early 2010s.
