The KFC Tuesday special, which includes 2 dark meat chicken(the rolls royce of colored meat imo) and a small fry, for a price I completely forget, is quite the treat.

Personally I’m in on Taco Bell. Their value menu is insane.
Breakfast? wonderful! One of the few fast food joints still decently priced!

Can’t wait to check out Del Taco when I’m out west

Taco Bell you have to get their combos or the prices are recockulusly bad.
Taco Supreme 2.79? Burrito Supreme $5. Woof

I had Del Taco only once and it was decent

KFC and Arbys are virtually out of reach without a 6 figure income (or a fistful of coupons).

When I used to eat out;
Cookout iis excellent. May be local to NC. Started with Junior Samples money by his sister.
Johnsons in Siler City. Famous and award winning.
Crossroads Grill and Chris' just down from Johnsons.
Bojangles are good in this area for breakfast.

I miss Del Taco… do they still have their Macho Tacos or Big Fat Tacos?

We have a chain up here, Taco Johns, that can be decent if you find a well managed one. I enjoy their “Meat & Potato Burrito”… basically just a burrito that they stuff their seasoned tator tots in.

They also have a good puréed jalapeño salsa.

Taco Johns > Taco Bell by a long shot for me. Taco Tuesday inventor but that taco Tuesday used to be 2 taco's for 99cents. 6 pack and a pound of potato ole's for 6$.

Now it's like 1.50 for one taco on taco Tuesday. 6 pack and a pound 12$?

They changed their taco sauce after covid. It's not the same. I still eat there, probably my first choice for fast food.

Do you have Cookout in your area?
Curious how far it reaches, thanks.

No cookout in anywhere close to us. Seems like only a Carolina thing.

Typical pinside search user.

Cook outs are all over Georgia and beyond.

Chick-fil-A spicy chicken sandwich.

Best on the planet. But I don’t like their waffle fries.

Just had TB yesterday for lunch. I almost always order the chalupas when I do have TB, which is maybe 2x a year. Efff......did they stop deep frying the chalupa shells or what? Mine was cold...as if it was thawed and stuck in the fridge. I used to love those things!

+1 for Del Taco. Good deals and my kids love it.

In n Out burger has good value and the closest burger place where I live. Double double animal style, no salt. Animal fries, no cheese, no salt. X large Arnold Palmer.

Used to love Wendys for a long time but their spicy chicken sandwich is not what it used to be.

Pretty much avoid everything else. Rarely stop at Whataburger or Schlotskys because theyre near my work.

There was a chain in the south called Backyard Burger that i miss. Pretty good.

Popeye’s is good as well, but Chick-fil-A takes the crown for my tastes as well.

Chalupas haven’t tasted right for a couple years. Cold and stale tasting now. They used to be my favorite item there, and now I never order them.

Ok, so it's just not the local joint then. Their only 1 good item and they eff it up. The humanity....

Those should be $1 each tops. They're fucking tacos.

The value menu is pretty good. The Chicken Enchilada Burrito for $2.50 is good, the 3 cheese chicken flatbread melt is only $2.29 and the Stacker is only $2.19.
It’s pretty filling for less than $3. Plus if you’re a cheap fuck like me, you bought a cup ages ago and keep reusing it. Then I save nearly $2 they charge you that’s wrapped into the combo to cover the cup.

Just looked up the prices in Ann Arbor. Damn. Everything is about 75¢ more than here.

Just go up and complain. They always remake it for free, no questions asked, and usually they take their time if you call them out for being lazy. You gotta keep in mind that a lot of their workers are lazy teenagers who are high most their shift, .

Out here we have Amy's drive thru, I'm sure everyone here will lose their shit over it, but it's basically vegetarian in n out, and it's actually pretty good, never seen it not just packed with people, pretty much all families. They have their own sodas, no coke or Pepsi, living roof, composting, all that jazz. Dunno, I think it'll probably hit nationwide at some point, again, never seen one without a huge line, people definitely like it.

Thanks.
I could safely recommend Cookout, always consistent and good amounts of food.
Few sit-downs , primarily order window.
Junior Samples turned down a buyout by several large chains.

Del Taco is a weapon against East Coasters.
Westerners know we don't have one so thats all they talk about.
I was tired of it 10 years ago. Their ass just won't expand here.
Sorry, forgot this wasn't the Bitch thread.
Anyway, they don't have Cookout, so there!

What’s with the McD single burgers these days with the excess mustard n ketchup even on the outside of wrapper ! Yuck

Damn!

Two places on my fast food bucket list, which i want to have before i die (or may even cause it):

1) In-N-Out Burger
2) White Castle

Now i understand that there is probably nothing special about White Castle, and some would say it’s trash. The reason i want to go is to finally finish my Harold & Kumar journey. I will order the Harold & Kumar challenge (except make mine diet cokes, Chuck). Yes, i am aware that Krystals is similar and i visit Mississippi for work plenty. But Harold & Kumar didn’t go to fucking Krystals so just drop it already!!

Higher intellect over-qualified employees getting aggressive with the hand held auto- dispenser.
Two dollops of mustard, same with the ketchup.

White Castle burgers are good if youre hung over but their breakfast is way better.

Shake Shack will rule the fast food world, within five years.

I've had Amy's frozen meals before. They're not bad, but the portions are tiny. I lift weights. I eat huge amounts of food. My local Whole Foods has an entire freezer of their meals.

That's the shitty part about drive through.

I just did a search on reddit about this to see if I could find reasons from actual TB employees. It sounds like they are saying that in new oil (when they are fried) they are supposed to be in for like 50 seconds but that is too long if the oil is old/used, so they pull them out after 40 seconds hence the raw and stale.

No clue if its accurate or not, but seems feasible anyway?

The one i had wasn't dipped in oil at all. It feels like they were pulled thawed from the fridge and made. It was dead too, so notnlike they didnt have time. It will probably be another 6-12 months before I get it again and I def won't get it from that location, which sucks cuz it's close to work.

If you like the taste of grease, it’s hard to beat Jack in the Box tacos.

I believe that is the breakfast of ex champions, or is that just donuts and cigarettes?

If you're eating fast food regularly (I try to limit to 1x a week) you have to download their apps. McD's will generally give free fries with any purchase and a lot of B1G1 stuff. Wendy's is running $1 singles. Had one today with cheese for $1.06 with tax. Arby's isn't local nor Popeyes but I downloaded their apps for the one-time passing thru discount.

Arby's fish sandwich makes the McD's filet o'fish a joke size wise.

And Arby’s fish sandwich is good too…

… but it’s not Filet O’ Fish good!

Ikes Sandwiches make a tasty meal,great variety too

Had Chick-fil-A breakfast for the first time the other day. They were giving away free chicken biscuit sandwiches as a promotion, so I ordered the spicy chicken breakfast burrito (egg, tots, chicken) meal which came with a drink and order of tots… and of course the free chicken biscuit sandwich. Food and service was great, and was pleasantly surprised that they gave me packets of real honey… many others are passing off ‘honey sauce’ these days which is just high fructose corn syrup.

I like that it’s easy to add an extra egg on their breakfast sandwich on their app.

Lately, I've been going to Salad and Go. Great options if you like salad, plus they have soup & breakfast options. You can also make any salad into a wrap. Everything is good, plus they have a drive thru.

Fuck covid for shutting down our Sweet Tomatoes. However, i'm glad we have Salad and Go.

I do watch for Bojangles Fish sandwich. Available at odd times but really worth it.
