I wrote this several months ago. Saw a ranking of top fast food places. So many are bad due to the poor service. High prices. Slow service. Fake, frozen, ultra-processed food. Literally leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But I can't stay away. I'm always looking out for a deal.
Five Guys. Good burger. High prices. Milkshakes are just okay.
Dairy Queen. High prices. Not crazy about their brazier burgers. Shakes are good but overpriced. Like most, it's institutional processed frozen food.
Subway is okay if you have a coupon.
Firehouse Subs: better than Subway.
Jersey Mikes: better than Firehouse.
McDonalds: sometimes you can get a decent deal on the app, or using the BOGO on the receipt. But the food just isn't that good.
Wendys: best of the burger places. Some relatively cheap options, plus some deals in the app. The Frosty is the best milkshake value around.
Burger King will sometimes have deals. The Whopper is literally half the size it used to be.
Taco Bell: portions are small, whether from the value menu or the premium items.
Moes: better than Chipotle or Willys, though they're all pretty close.
Chickfila: the sandwich has shrunk over the years while the price continues to rise. But the speed of service and quality are tops in the industry.
Popeyes: not sure when I last ate at Popeyes. Supposed to be good. Supposed to have large portions. Not cheap.
Hardees: some tasty menu options, and some deals in the app. But oftentimes the service is extra bad.
Whataburger: the burger is big but not as tasty as Wendys. Decent deals through the app, receipt, and coupons.
Freddys: tasty but expensive.
Culvers: see Freddys.
Steak & Shake: good food and milkshakes.
Checkers: few cheap options but there are deals in the app. But the quality of food is low low low.
Arbys: decent food, and sometimes you can get a deal in the app.
Cookout: lots of menu options. Not sure I trust the BBQ. Dozens of milkshake options, though they're all just vanilla with a chemically concocted syrup added in (like Burger King and others). Overall, the food just isn't that good.
CiCi's: a good deal for the price.
RaceTrac: right out of the oven, the pizza tastes good. Nothing special about the hot dogs and other roller grill items.
Costco: can't beat the $1.50 hot dog and Coke - a loss leader. Like RaceTrac, the pizza is good when its hot. The other items look tasty, but look prepackaged, frozen, and unhealthy.
Truth to tell, it seems like my appetite is changing, and my fast food days may finally be coming to an end - for the most part. Good riddance.
