There was a Crystal Burger joint that opened near by a few years back that lasted about one year then closed. I literally had to open the burger to verify there was a meat patty! When I saw the patty it was razor thin. I can't believe anyone eats there.

they can't
they're closed...right?
 
All of them that are in my area.

Chick-Fil -A and Popeye's just opened here recently, and I will give them a try.

Because of freshness issues I've heard of, I especially avoid McDonald's Filet O Fish and Wendy's chili. Coffee (always too weak).

I don't eat at fast food places but once or twice a year maybe, and then it would be a crispy chicken breast sandwich and fries.
 
Mostly, all, since I don't eat much FF, but, especially at Wendy's. Years ago, my sister ate most of her baked potato and then discovered a cockroach in it (no extra charge):playful:. Also, I had a cockroach in my Wendy's bowl of chili, (also, no extra charge) so that did me in with Wendy's.

I know cockroaches are in the restaurants of all kinds, in the walls, on the walls, on the floors.....but not in my food, please.:rolleyes:
 
We rarely, if ever, go to fast food places anymore. One I would never go to again is Sonic, had a coupon once for free hot dogs and they went into the trash they tasted so bad. I'm not a big fan of hot dogs to begin with, if I have them they have to be beef and nitrate free....but Sonic's dogs left a really bad taste in our mouths, we wouldn't even give the remainder to our dogs, that's how bad they were. :sick:

My fast-food go to places are Chick-fil-a, Arby's, Whataburger, McDonalds and supermarket deli.

I also have a favorite partly self-serve BBQ restaurant. I can get plenty of BBQ beef, two side veggies [love their potato salad] plus pickles/peppers, and unlimited fresh hot rolls made on site... all for $10.

Besides their signature fried chicken breast sandwich, Chick-fil-A also has a grilled chicken sandwich.
Also, for breakfast, they have a smaller fried chicken breast on a biscuit. I used to stop by on my
way to work to buy several, one for myself and a couple of co-workers... it was so yummy. I have
not had one since I retired and sleep late. But I am seriously thinking of getting up early and driving
across town just to get one... they are that good.

We rarely go to fast food restaurants and if we do it’s usually Swiss Chalet Chicken. We usually go when they have their 2 for 1 special of BBQ chicken breast with fries, salad and a drink. It comes with a sauce for the chicken & fries and they are consistently good in my opinion. Usually we eat freshly made food from home which I’m very grateful to have.

Try the Red Beans & Rice side dish at Popeyes. It is more popular than their chicken.

Taco Bell - can't stand them

Ditto, and their prices are so cheap I'm afraid to think of what the real ingredients are.

One place I very rarely go to is KFC, far too greasy for me. But I do like their biscuits n gravy and mashed potatoes.

@ JimW

I'm amazed Taco Bell is so popular.

Me too! I've eaten there once way back when it first opened and it was terrible. We've got some younger guys that work in our shop and they say Taco bell is popular for late night munchies after the bars close and the parties are over. I guess if you're buzzed enough you'll eat pretty much anything.
