Which Fast Food Place is the Best?

[gunkulator]

Well, I'm partial to McDonald's at the moment but only because of their bacon ranch salad with grilled chicken. It's practically the only thing I can eat at a fast food place on my diet.

[Q Classic]

btw, some of those you could fold into each other again.

popeye's/church's, for instance. until about year ago, they were identical.

they're still under the same company, too.

Although I obliged to vote for BK, the best fast food is gonna come from a good mom-n-pop store. Edward's Drive In has an awesome pork chop sandwich.
I'd really like to find an In-n-Out burger. they score extremely high in customer satisfaction ratings (7 out of 100, includes casual fast). I get the feeling that they're only on the west coast, though.

Thundercloud (like Subway but actually good - I'm not sure if it exists outside of Austin though)

That's because you are a heathen who comes from that uncultured place known as Kansas.

In and Out Burger is by far the best fast food joint. They make everything fresh when you order it so your burger doesn't ever sit under a heat lamp unlike the other fast food places. They use much higher quality beef then McD's does and their cheese is real cheese made with milk (unlike the oil based fake cheese McD's uses); all around the food is much better quality then the other fast food places.

As an added benifet In and Out pays the teenagers who work there about twice as much as the other fast food places do because the owners are religous people who believe in paying a living wage to all of their employees. Heck, they even make a point of only selling fair trade coffee.

Schlotsky's (sp?) is good.

We've got a Schlotsky's Deli around here and they make good sandwitches though the prices are sort of high.

Chinese and/or Indian places can make some good food pretty fast and the prices are reasonable.

Has anyone ever tried Quizno's? I like them much better then subway.

[Sava]

Quizno's is terrible... but I don't like Subway either. I think Quizno's problem is that they go overboard with spiced things... they have all this flavored bread, spiced meats, and sauces... it's too much.

Quizno's Tuscan Chicken Sub was the greatest sandwich I'd ever had.

[Theben]

I don't like Schlotsky's bread- which is it's only selling point.

Penn Station has the best subs around par none. It's even better than Potbelly's (Chicago local and very, very good). And of course Fazzio's veggie subs on garlic bread were to DIE for. Too bad it went under.

I only go to Subway if I feel constipated.

Holy Cow! I need to look into opening a franchise here.

Steak n' Shake



But seriously, is Panera/St. Louis Bread Co. considered fast food? If so I would vote that.

As a couple of people have already pointed out, there is no good fast food restaurant -- unless they serve GOOD salads as an alternative to their usual artery-clogging menu items.

I eat at fast food restaurants only for sake of convenience, when I'm on the road, AND I do not have time to eat a waiter-service type of restaurant.

McDonald's premium salads are delicious though, with the Paul Newman salad dressing -- much better than clogging your arteries with lard burgers or chicken krap.

I worked at Wendy's during college, and they were arguably the healthiest. The salads were made with quality ingredients, and we always had the grilled chicken sandwich, chili, and plain baked potato.

You can eat healthy, but you dont have much choice.

PORTILLOS The ribs are great.

But face it. FAST FOOD=grease and more grease.
So there is only one king of fast food. Buy a bag of "sliders" today.
