ok objectively speaking

Tomboy Outback: D Tier

explanation: bloomin onion is the only S tier item they serve, all else is OK tier meat and a bunch of reheated side items. Outback isnt even based on real cuisine besides typical fast casual american franchise food like TGI fridays or chili's. Tomboys are objectively the worst fetish out of the 4, seeing as it highlights masculine characteristics except "she has a pussy". More likely that she smells and doesnt wash that well if shes trying to act and look like a man. Points for bloomin onion, points for sometimes tomboys can be hot.

Femboy Hooters: C Tier

Hooters wings are pretty good. Wings are an S tier food in general. Minus points for the restaurant being tacky and outdated. Minus points for "femboy meme". Points for maybe they look nice after a few beers at least?? tbh femboys serving you food would probably be way nicer to you than a tomboy who just throws your **** on the table. ok next one.

Goth Ihop: B+ tier

Ihop has some pretty good hungover breakfast food. Pretty fine all around. Points for good food, minus points for depressed goth chicks the morning after you go out drinking. Not sure if be too enthralled getting served a meal from someone who doesnt care about life that early in the morning. Points for it probably being a great night time drunk food spot, when the goth girls are more active and you are a bit more ready for the banter. Solid, depends on the time of day.

Milf dennys: S tier

Great fast breakfast food at any time of day. You go to dennys when drunk, hungover, after a party, before a party, when you just want comfort food. Its not michelin star but its a nice hefty warm meal with nice authentic people. Points for milf already being warm and comforting while serving you comfort food. Points for aprons and most likely to call you "sugar" "sweety", "babe", when you are ordering. "would you like milk with your coffee?" yes. yes i would.
