What's Your Favorite Fast Food Joint?

[Violent VictiM]

I tried to list all the major ones. I included an other, so if you select it, turn us on to what it is. Maybe if I'm ever in a state that has one, I'll check it out and you'll totally prove me wrong.

I'm gonna go with Taco Bell. Nothing says "late night snack" like a Cheesy Gordita Crunch and a Nachos Supreme. KFC is a close second though.

[Special Killa B]

Another vote for Taco Bell

[sCabbOy]

I don't eat fast food, and when I do it's Subway... so "other"

[The Dark Vampire]

If I do pick then I guess other Spud-U-Like

[Shoesalesman]

When I was eating fast food, it was Taco Time. Similar to Taco Bell, but better. Soft Super Taco is the bomb! :bow:

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I voted other.

There's this place only 1 or 2 minutes from my house called Babe's Hotdogs. These are REALLY jumbo hotdogs.....the best i've had, IMO. I like the Vienna beef hotdogs, but these are just way better, I think.

I also really like White Castle and McDonald's.

[NETRA]

I used to love Taco Bell but I find I get too little for my money there lately. The Pepsi Co is way too greedy and stingy with the food. I mean, would it kill them to put more than a sprinkle of cheese on the taco?

So I voted "other" in favor of Arby's. They send out coupons in the Sunday paper so you can always get a good deal and plenty of food for the buck.

Really? Ours fuckin loads down the tacos with stuff (cheese included) to the point where the wrapper is full of extra goodness.

~Blake

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Ever since they opened up a Pepe's near my house, I can't eat at Taco Bell anymore. I used to go there all the time......I loved it back in the day.

They have a ton of In-N-Out Burgers in LA. They're actually really good. I went there a couple of times.

[Kat]

Out of those Taco Bell. I am not really a burger person anymore and I used to love KFC but lately the ones around here have been greasy and fucking disgusting. Besides, there is a Taco Bell one block from the school I work at, and I will usually drop by there once or twice a week and pick up a taco and some nachos.

[Violent VictiM]

Yea, Blake. I feel ya on that one. The Taco Bell over by me loads it up with off the hook toppings.

[Uncle Hugo]

Burger King for me, I hate eating it but they got good fries.

[Erik]

I'm a BK man myself. KFC is a close second though.

[The New Blood]

KFC!!! I love those bbq wings:D. I never really eat at fast food places anymore though.

[Jigsaw]

I'm undecided between Burger King, KFC or Subway.

[NETRA]

Ours fuckin loads down the tacos with stuff

I haven't gone to taco Bell lately. Maybe they improved their portion sizes. For a while there I was noticing that everything was getting smaller while the prices either remained the same or got bigger. I hate that! So I stopped going.

I used to love KFC but lately the ones around here have been greasy and fucking disgusting

I find that what people often describe as "greasy" suits me. There's a Waffle House right across the street from my apartment. I walk over there a LOT but my roommate refuses to go with me because she says it's too greasy. She'll probably outlive me by ten or fifteen years. But they'll be Waffle-less years! And is that really worth it?

[BlakeTyner]

Greasy chicken is soooo good sometimes.

God I love the Awful House. I catch all kinds of flack for preferring it over the sludge they serve at IHOP. No, ma'am, just give me two eggs over medium with grits, bacon, and a waffle.

Every once in a while I'll get the Texas cheesesteak with scattered, smothered, covered, but I've never been big on teh hash browns. I never actually had any growing up - I thought grits were simply what you ate with eggs and bacon.

I thought right.

~Blake

[MaDMaNMaRz]

A really good place for breakfast is Bob Evans. They have really good food. If there is one near you, you should check it out. Their biscuits rock!

[Darth Sinister]

If I'm eating fast food burgers, I go to Burger King. It's just done better. I love KFC over Popeyes. Hell, I just went to KFC and ate in there, rather than take out and ate off the buffet table. Got myself a good heaping helping of mashed potatoes. You take it home and you get a little pissant bowl that barely lasts.

For Mexican food, I perfer a place that not many of you know about. It's called Amigos. What I like about this place is that their burrito wraps are not rubbery. I fucking hate burrito wraps that are like eating a fucking tire. Plus, their meat is tasty and spicy. That's why I don't eat at Taco Bell.

I like Runza as well. Again, a lesser known place. It started in Nebraska, where I live. Best known for it's Runzas, a loose meat sandwich wrapped and sealed within a bun and cooked. I don't eat that, but I love their burgers and fries and onion rings. Their fries have ridges.

I like Long John Silvers, though mainly for their hush puppies. I said god damn, they're good.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I like Long John Silvers, though mainly for their hush puppies. I said god damn, they're good.

Yeah, I like Long John Silvers. I actually prefer the chicken over the fish.

I also like those Fish Nibblers from White Castle. :) Of course the burgers are good too. You can easily eat 10 of those things, lol.

[NETRA]

scattered, smothered, covered

Ha! Isn't it great fun to order hash browns at the Waffle House? :D That makes it worth going just so you can say things like, "Give me the hash brows scattered, smothered, diced and chunked." And then you get to hear the waitress yell out your order to the chef. Ah, good times. And I'd prefer a Waffle House burger to anything they give you at Burger King or McDonald's. It's cheaper too! I dunno if the Waffle House is considered "fast food" but if it is, then I guess that's my vote.

[ChoKo]

Taco Bell and Wendy's

[Jason's Storm]

Like Hardees' (a.k.a. Carl Jrs.) because their burgers are fucking awesome. Go in and try the 1/3 lb hamburger and you'll agree that they are better than they use to be. Culver's is pretty damn good to, because their burgers, while not juicy, flavorful. Their ice cream (or custard) is pretty good to. I like quizno's subs a lot better than Subway, as well.

~JS

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Taco Bell and Wendy's

Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich is just fantastic......without Mayo of course. :X

[NETRA]

Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich is just fantastic......without Mayo of course. :X

I used to agree but I got two bad ones in a row (not cooked) and can't bring myself to order it anymore. :( And they charged me extra for BBQ sauce. Yeah it's only a quarter but I'm on a super tight lunch budget. They couldn't just give me the freakin' sauce?!

But that's okay because Chick-Fil-A makes better chicken sandwiches anyway.

[The 5th Golden Girl]

Other: Pal's Sudden Service. It's just a local chain in this region (only 20 stores all within a 70-mile radius), but the food is tasty, the tea is legendary, they use Lawery's Seasoned Salt on the fries, the shakes are good, and since I'm currently employed at one, I get to eat/drink whatever I want for free.

[Joshg]

I love KFC.

But I don't like to go to Fast Foods' much. Packs on the pounds easier, and I prefer to stay fit. Even if the grease calls to me.

[Speck]

I don't eat a lot of fast food due to health and weight concerns, but Burger King is my favorite.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Culvers is really good. I think most of them are in the Midwest. They have really good burgers.

[On a Pale Horse]

I guess BK with Taco Bell a close 2nd.

[Deathscythe]

I went with KFC, I still think McDonalds has the best fries through.

[The Dream Master]

Zaxby's, bitches. It's not exactly blazing fast, but it's not exactly a sit-down place, either.

And add me to the fans of Wendy's Spicy Chicken. That shit is delicious.

Also, I don't think anyone has mentioned Hardee's yet (I think it's known as Carl Jr's in some parts of the country). They have absolutely the best burgers of any of the fast food joints.

[NETRA]

McDonalds has the best fries through.

I definitely agree with that! I sometimes pop in their drive-thru JUST for the fries. I just hate it when they're undercooked. Ew.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Although Johnny Rocket's IS a sit down restaurant, you do get your food pretty damn fast.....so i've always considered it to be a fast food place, really. IMO, they have the best patty melts. They never over cook the burger, the onions are really good, they put Tillamook Cheese on there......:drool:

[The Dream Master]

We used to have a Johnny Rocket's here, but it's gone now. It's a shame, too. I really liked going there.

[Violent VictiM]

Also, I don't think anyone has mentioned Hardee's yet (I think it's known as Carl Jr's in some parts of the country). They have absolutely the best burgers of any of the fast food joints.

On Long Island they are called "Roy Rogers" and the only one left is about 10 minutes from me. And boy is it ever ass. Everyday I pass by that bitch like, "Why the fuck is it still in business?" They're claim to fame is a Roast Beef sandwich that looks like a blown out porn star. It's a terrible place.

Also, am I the only person in the world who likes Wendy's chili? I eat that shit at least three times a week. Mad nice on the fiber.

You know, as many times as i've been there, i've NEVER gotten the chili dog. :eek: I think the next time, i'll try it. I usually stick with the patty melt....but on white bread. I don't like rye bread.

I thought Arbys bought out Roy Rogers? Or was that Hardees? I forget now.


Also, do you guys have Chick-Fil-A around your way?

[NETRA]

Also, do you guys have Chick-Fil-A around your way?

Oh yes . . . They are mostly a southern oriented establishment. They claim to have invented the chicken sandwich. I dunno how true that is but that's what they say. Very good chicken strips!

[The Dream Master]

Netra, Chik-Fil-A actually originated in Georgia, in Atlanta, no less (I think).

And yeah, that shit is delicious. We have one on campus.

[Speck]

Down here in Louisiana, there's a chicken franchise called "Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers." They have some of the best chicken fingers and sauce I've ever had.

[NETRA]

Netra, Chik-Fil-A actually originated in Georgia, in Atlanta, no less (I think).

They are the only fast food joint I know of that has sit-down restaurants too. I mean the type where you order from a waiter and such. They're called "Chick-Fil-A Dwarf House". It's the same menu as their regular fast food restaurants! But I guess if you're in the mood to eat off a plate, you can choose to go to the Dwarf House instead.

[MiMania]

Taco Bell.

But I don't like to go to Fast Foods' much. Packs on the pounds easier, and I prefer to stay fit. Even if the grease calls to me.

Same for me. It's really hard to resist sometimes, though, since fast food is so delicious and usually really cheap, lol.

[ZPowers]

Either BK or Wendy's (Good Times is also great but more expensive), and I'm voting Wendy's since it's got nothing in votes (where's the love?)

[Autobotsdie]

Other. There is a Taco Villa here that has been around longer than Taco Bell and tastes better than Taco Bell. Its only a regional fast food chain ranging in 15 cities in 200 mile radius of here.

[Violent VictiM]

I started this thread with my own choices as to what I thought was the only fast food choices there were, and look what I get. I have learned of so many other ones, it's nuts. I mean, Taco Villa? A better Taco Bell? That's nuts. If I ever see one of those I'm stopping.

Good thread. Carry on. Carry on.

(I apologize for the sheer stupidity of this post. I am high. In fact, I'm going to go post in the high thread right now.)

((Okay seriously, my last side note thing here...I had to modify this post like, 3 times.))

[DiscVader]

The Big Boy...can't go wrong with pizza burgers flying style with onions, fries & gravy, and a purple cow! :D

[Gringo Loco]

I think you can only find a Whataburger in Texas. This is my fav. fastfood out of every place I've been to. It's close, it's reasonably priced, and the Whataburger with cheese and jalapenos pwns me. The fries with ketchup rocks also. I'm picky on fries and I hardly ever eat any with ketchup, unless it's from this place.

[teazingweezer]

Blimpie. Their subs are the best by far. Fresh cut meat and veggies. Subway and quiznos doesnt come close to blimpies quality.

[Chex]

Wendy's has my vote.

Spicy Chicken sandwiches for the win!

[Utellme]

I like Wendy's chicken nuggets and there hamburgers.And for some wierd reason i cant eat home cooked burger from grocery store or i get sick.So i have to get burgers from Wendy's if anyone can answer this weird sickness please do cause i can't figure it out ?

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Wendy's has my vote.

Spicy Chicken sandwiches for the win!

Hell yeah! I love the fried spicy chicken sandwiches. :) But no mayo :X LOL

[Spade]

I like Popeyes Chicken. They have real good fried chicken and it's spicy.

I also like Boston Market on occasion.

[Gringo Loco]

Wendy's does have great spicy chicken sandwiches. The only problem with them, is that sometimes they are not up to par with the quality. If they were, I would go there more often.

[nottidelterrore]

Taco Bell. Their steak chalupas are amazing...especially when doused with a lot of fire sauce & nacho cheese. I don't eat there often though. Maybe once every few months or so.

[Ron]

I try to stay away from it, but I've liked Burger King since I worked there in high school.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I like those Cini Mini's from Burger King. :) I haven't had BK in a long time. I used to get their chicken tenders quite a bit.

[ChoKo]

Is Little Caesar's considered fast food? If so, that's my vote.

[Jigsaw]

Updated list of favorite fast food places (no order at all):


Burger King
Jack In The Box
Wienerschnitzel
Nathan's
KFC
Subway
Quizno's
Jersey Mike's
Port Of Subs
Taco Bell
Del Taco
Popeye's

[The Dream Master]

Is Little Caesar's considered fast food? If so, that's my vote.

I don't know about you, but where I'm from, the ability to go in and pick up a pizza immediately (for $5 no less!) is considered pretty fuckin' fast. :D

[Jigsaw]

I don't care too much for fast food pizza (nothing beats New York-style pizza), but Sam's Club's food court has some pretty damn good pizza and for a great price, too.

[Skye]

Chalk me up for Subway, but Quizno's has some kick-ass broccoli-cheese soup in the bread bowls... YUM!

[ChoKo]

Oh, how I miss Little Ceasars. We used to have one here a LONG time ago, but when I was in Vegas on my honeymoon there was a Little Ceasars in the casino that we stayed at. I'd forgotton how good it was.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

My top 5 favorite fast food places:

Babes JumboHot Dogs......this is pretty much a Joliet, IL exclusive as far as I know. They're the best hotdogs i've ever had.

Culver's......these are only in the Midwest

McDonald's....Chicken Mcnuggets for the win!

White Castle.....Mmmmmm :drool: the fish nibblers kick ass too

Long John Silvers......I actually prefer the chicken over the fish.

[ChildrenoftheDamned]

I don't really eat much fast-food anymore. I mostly stick to eating at home, now for some reason besides the occasional trip to Applebee's which is now like my favorite restaurant. But when I eat it I try to go with Burger King. I prefer it to McDonald's, although I eat at McDonald's more than I would like because it's cheap when you're low on cash.

The fast-food preference list:

Burger King
Taco Hell, er, Bell
Wendy's
KFC

McDonald's didn't make the list because it's normally one of those "It's late. I'm almost broke. What's closest 'cause I'm goin' the hell home..." options. Only when I have to or I'm really hungry.

[SlasherFreak]

I try to stay clear of fast food. If Im broke and hungry ill get a 2.50 cheesesteak from the corner bodega ;)

If I had to choose it would be wendys. I love their chili's and jr bacon cheeseburgers and side salads and nuggets

[Violent VictiM]

I love their chili's -- and nuggets

You ever cut the Nuggets up and put them in the Chili? It's like heaven.

[Natman]

Heaven's on a tight budget.

I love Wendy's spicy chicken, chili, and baconator, but other than that... not so much, I find square burgers very unnerving.

I'd go Popeye's if I had one close to me, but I don't so... Burger King for the win!

[SlasherFreak]

You ever cut the Nuggets up and put them in the Chili? It's like heaven.

lol naw but Im known to dip the nuggets in the chili sometimes

[Skye]

I also like Raising Cane's (chicken finger place around here). I was shocked to see one in Vegas when I was there.

[Monkey]

Church's Chicken.

Unfortunately, they don't have one around here. Otherwise, I love Sonic's coney dogs. Other than that, I'm not much of a fan. The last time I ate at Taco Bell I got food poisoning.

I've lived in the south; there's so much more to choose from down there (Captain Ds, Church's chicken, whataburger, etc.). We just got our Sonic and a Long John Silvers a few years back. These 'joints' are common in the south, but you just can't get them up here.

Then again, although we have 4 wal-marts in town, we didn't have one until about 10 years ago. They finally built a Best Buy here about 4 years ago. The northwest is slow when it comes to getting franchises, fast food, retail, or otherwise.

[Violent VictiM]

Every time a Sonic commercial comes on I get so angry. I wish they had one on Long Island. All of my friends, every single time a commercial comes on, "Why the fuck do they advertise it if we don't have one here?!"

Gee, I don't know. So when you go on a road trip and you pass a Sonic and go, "Oh! I saw that shit on TV I want to choose from 600 types of ice slushies!" you'll stop there. :duh:

[Monkey]

Every time a Sonic commercial comes on I get so angry. I wish they had one on Long Island. All of my friends, every single time a commercial comes on, "Why the fuck do they advertise it if we don't have one here?!"
We had the same problem with Long John Silvers a few years back. We went there all the time when we lived in Texas. They kept showing LJS commericials here, and we pretty much had the same reaction "why do you advertise something I can't buy?"

Is Carl Jrs. the same as Hardees? They use the same star in their signs... I saw Hardees back east, but no Carls Jr.

Over here (on the west coast), I see Carls Jr... but no Hardees.

From Wikipedia:

In 1997, CKE Restaurants acquired Hardee's, a restaurant chain with 2,500 locations in the Midwest, Southeast and East Coast regions. Hardee's restaurants are gradually being converted to be more like Carl's Jr. with some of the same menu items and even adopting the same star logo. The chain has also opened at least one restaurant in a former Rally's location in Hollywood with a drive-thru lane, walk-up window and no interior seating. CKE Restaurants has been announced that Hardee's will add all of the same menu items as Carl's Jr. around summer 2008, marking Hardee's to replace the Thickburger campaign with the Charbroiled Burgers name.

[SlasherFreak]

When I lived in California, I had Carl Jr burger and they were pretty good...but my favorite place when I lived in Cali had to be Jack In The Box. They're dollar menu was so diverse...from fries to tacos to friggin egg rolls...at least it was like that back in 2002-2003

[Monkey]

Finally had Carl's Jr a few months ago. Can't believe I waited this long.

Ate the 6-dollar bacon and guacomole burger today. It's better than anybody's burgers, including Red Robin IMO. 10/10.

Was in St. Louis last year and finally had White Castle. Average food, at best. If you haven't eaten there, you're not missing anything.

Dollar menus are pretty much dead these days. The Burger King on base used to have 9 or 10 choices on that menu just a couple months ago... now it's only 2 items. You can still get those Jack-in-the-box tacos, 2 for a buck. You know it's bad for you, it isn't really a taco... it's like the shell and beef-like-product are just vessels for maximum cooking oil consumption.

Don't eat as much fast food anymore. Pretty fat right now. It's all my fault, too. :)

[The Taff]

I have a thing for Mexi-fast food, but I fucking despise Taco Bell. It has always tasted like ass. In town here we have alternatives like Taco Johns and Taco Time. They also have a Panchero's where you can have them make you a burrito in a couple minutes.

Burger wise, I like Wendy's. It's a shame it's not open 24 hours like McDonalds and Burger King. If it's the middle of the night, I'm more inclined to pull into Burger King's drive through than McDonalds.

[Monkey]

Taco TIme > Taco Bell.

My brother came up last year. Tried taco time and said he hated it.
I guess he couldn't get past the taste of fresher, higher-quality ingredients. :|

Love Taco Time. Unfortunately they don't ahve a drive through, so I often hit Taco John's instead while on patrol. That and Taco John's potatos taste ebtter.

[Nukulur]

Definitely Wendy's. Food critics and Zagat's Guide have consistently voted them as the #1 national fast food chain, as well.

[Nancy Thompson]

Other for me Since i Love Sonic

[The Taff]

Definitely Wendy's. Food critics and Zagat's Guide have consistently voted them as the #1 national fast food chain, as well.

Their new fried are higher quality, but at the same time I feel like they lack a bit in flavor. I've found myself just ordering a burger without fried the last few times I've went to Wendy's.

[On a Pale Horse]

I didnt look through the whole thread, but anyone say In and Out Burger? They are only in Utah and California (and maybe Nevada?). Good food. The Mormom staff at the Utah chain makes you feel like you're back in the 50's in a black and white tv show.

[Darth Sinister]

I've never liked their fries. I'm not a fan of their food, overall. I tried it back in 96-97 and I just can't get into it.


Anymore, I just cannot do Long John Silvers. I've been buying frozen shrimp poppers, hush puppies and fries just to have my own version of LJS. And yes, these hush puppies are better than LJS. Also, less salt which is good for me.
