What to order when "forced" to eat at chain/non-Chow worthy restaurants? Advice and finds...

I've found the appetizers and salads at Joey to be decent.I like their wings, calamari and fish tacos. I stay away from dumplings, sushi and curries at chain restaurants. For whatever reason, I like avocado spring rolls, which only seem to show up on menus in chain restos, and I usually order them when I see them on a menu.
