Wendy's by far. I went there today :D :D

McDonalds- Their burgers are ok, their chicken stinks (besides their chicken selects), their fries are good
Burger King- Their burgers taste like crap, their chicken is decent, their fries stink
Wendy's- Everything is good :D
Taco Bell- They're good
What the heck is Hardee's? :lol:
Subway is good, but I never really considererd it fast food o_O

Joe, do you have a Carls Jr. in your area? I believe the two are the same but they're different names on different coasts.

McDonald's - icky
Burger King - GROSS
Wendy's - icky
Subway - I prefer Quizno's.
Hardee's - NASTY!
Taco Bell - enough to give anyone the runs. That place is NASTY.

I prefer Quizno's. Why isn't it on the poll? :happyface

Wendy's. McDonald's and Burger King are gross. I never go to Subway or Taco Bell. I used to go to Hardee's a lot when I was little but now they all went out of business in my area.

You need to add Arby's to the choices, too!

Wendy's. I eat there way too much. Subway is a close second.

Hardees used to be good. I dont know what happened there. I hate McDonalds but I end up eating there a lot anyway. Burger King is okay but they're always dirty and gross. I cannot stand Taco Bell and I dont get why so many people love it so much.

Sorry - can't handle grey, square burgers a la Wendys and the fries are horrible. The only good thing about Wendy's was Dave Thomas. ;)

Give me Quiznos now over those anytime, but if forced, I'd still go to Mickey D's for the fries and chocolate shakes (although that won't be as often after watching Supersize Me)! :lol:

No no no. Steak and shake has steakburgers, (hamburger if you prefer) and milkshakes!! hence Steak and Shake. Excellent milkshakes! Food isn't bad either. Big in the Midwest. Especially Indiana area.

What kind of food do they serve there? It sounds like a Sonic's Drive-in, from these posts.

Soft drinks (but the Root Beer is the main one obviously), shakes, fries, burgers, dogs and GREAT onion rings! I'll go just for those alone. They also added "chubby chicken" which is WAY more edible than KFC's

Don't have Sonic here so I dont know what they have, but A&W has Chili dogs, burgers and stuff like that. And A&W rootbeer of course.

You know what fast food place 0wnz j00 all?

Big Boy's.

That place easily outdoes ANY fast food place in this city. We have 5 McDonald's that I'm aware of, and Big Boys gets far more business then all the McD's combined. The one here uses REAL meat and makes their own extremely tasty soda conoctions. You can literally wait in the drivethru for 45 minutes just to get some Big Boy's, because they make them fresh. It's so popular here, they have THREE of those speaker screens with the LED displays on them in the drivethru.

God....I could really go for some Big Boy's about right now. I LOVE their Flying Pizza Burger (cheeseburger w/ pizza sauce instead of ketchup), fries and cinnamon soda. :drool:

the Big Boys chain died here in the 80s....wasnt very large to start with here

There aren't as many of them as there were in the 50's and 60's but if anything, I think the Big Boy's here has only increased in popularity over the years. It's THE best fastfood here in the city. :nod:

Thanks, TripperFan, theshark8777, Mikado, and PZelda, for explaining what A&W is!! I visited the website and looked up my city on the map. I can not believe there actually IS one location in my city!! It's in a part where I don't really visit (the southwest part), so that is why I was quite oblivious over it! D'oh!

Well, I am going to be running some chores and errands on Saturday, so I am thinking about making an extra trip to check out that place!! It sounds really neat!! I'll also report back after checking it out!! :wave:

For the greatest chili burgers, chili fries and chili dogs anywhere it's the Original Tommy's in Southern California. Original Tommy's World Famous Word of Mouth Hamburgers have been a local landmark since 1946 and people seem they can't get enough of the chili. That's how great it is!!

Original Tommy's website:
http://www.originaltommys.com




the Big Boys chain died here in the 80s....

There used to be a lot of Bob's Big Boy's in Southern California where I live and they had great fried chicken dinners and steaks. But all are gone except for the only location in Burbank, California, which has been designated an historic landmark.

They have a website you can look at:

Their chili cheese burritos are quite good. I tried to order one but I was told it was no longer on the menu even though it was on Taco Bell's website. I guess it depends on where you live. Some food items may/may not be available at all locations.

I don't really consider Big Boy's fast food, but I do like it there. Not many around here anymore eitherm however. In fact I can't think of any ever being in my area, but there is one 30 minutes from here. The Big Boys around here were Elias Brothers not Bobs, I'm not sure what they are now, if anything.
I really want an A&W rootbeer now.

Ack! I can't believe I spaced out writing my "report."

So anyway.... I went to our only A&W fast food place on Saturday. I took my mom since we were shopping. It was a small place, and it was also joined together with Long John Silver's. I guess I was expecting this place to be a drive-in like Sonic's.

I ordered the, um, number four, I think? Anyway, it was the one with the burger, fries, and rootbeer float. The burger reminded me a bit of a flame-broiled burger from Burger King. I substituted the fries for chili cheese fries (with an extra charge) and bought a separate medium drink. I can't eat a meal with a float or shakes or anything like that. I think of those as desserts. Therefore, I chose the Cherry-Lime Sprite from the fountain and drank it together with my meal. The Sprite flavor is soooo tasty, let me add! Yum! :liplick:

What did I think of the food? Eh, it was your average food. I didn't find anything special to brag about, other than the Cherry-Lime Sprite. Go figure! There is a local hotdog place called "The Doghouse" that I thought had the same type of food as they did at A&W. Well, there's my personal report, but maybe it was just because I needed to order something else more A&W-worthy and original, I guess.

I love a good, old fashioned milkshake - really thick (straw must stand up in it) and chocolately. I remember the days when they would also bring you the stainless steel container it was mixed in because there would always be some leftover. In a restaurant the big treat was one of those, a grilledcheese and fries - with a dill pickle on the side.

Actually now that I think of it, we used to have a place that was similar - Steak & Burger. They went under years ago - seems they all do eventually in Canada - or are sold. Except for McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King - the usual big ones.
