Waiting to get a table at a chain restaurant

My husband hates to wait. He especially hates to wait for a table at a crowded restaurant. His thought is, why should we wait to get a table at this chain restaurant when there is probably an open table down the street at that local non-chain restaurant. And, it's mostly true. Typically, we wait for a table at Carrabba's, or PF Changs, or Outback Steakhouse, or Olive Garden. But if we leave after 10 minutes of waiting, as that is my husband's limit on waiting for a table, we have usually been able to find a table at another local mom-and-pop restaurant. Is the chain restaurant really that good that we all need to wait for a table? Shouldn't we branch out and try that local independent restaurant?
