McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy's. How do you rank the top 3 fast food burger chains ?

1. Wendy's - best burgers and breakfast
2. McDonalds - good breakfast and fast food classics
3. Burger King- couldn't tell you the last time I went to BK. It's just terrible.

For this exercise lets only use the big 3

So, we are talking all around and not just the burgers at these three places?

IMO:

1. McDonald's: most will go Wendy's, but a few items come to mind that helps Micky-D's leap to the top. Such as: their fries, chicken Mcnuggets (20 count), breakfast (hashbrowns, mcmuffin, big breakfast plate), Mcrib, caramel sundae (without nuts)

2. Wendy's: fries have gotten better but I still love their double or triple burgers. Chili is pretty good too.

3. BK: like the charbroiled taste and i'm a fan of their original chicken sandwich

Agreed on the breakfast. What do you get there? I keep it simple with 2 burritos.

How reliable is a Hot n Spicy?

Agreed, which is sad because their menu has so much potential.

There isn't a single burger I can eat from MDs. I know all of the big 3s meat is garbage but something about MDs just doesn't work for me.

1 W
2 Bk
3 MD

BK's answer to the McRib wasn't too bad. I'd get it again sometime.

U got it right.

Sucks. Me and my dad use to go to BK and get a Whopper meal after whatever sport I was playing at that time. I remember that being such a good burger.
Also, grew up in a smaller town where most of the workers were highschool kids who somewhat still had decent work ethic

Wendy's is by far the best of the 3.

Burger King varies by location. The burger King on Metairie Road is far superior to any other in the area.

BK - Because I love the whopper more than any other burger offered at any of the others. And their fries are by far my favorite. Plus... CHICKEN FRIES!
Wendy - I really like the stuff here. I wish they wouldn't have changed the fries. But based on the fries dipped in a frosty option, she almost was my #1
McD's - Big Mac was the first "big kid" fast food item I ever ate. But other than that, I never ever want McD's. Except for the nuggets at times. Which I think BK and Wendy's offer much better options at.

Was almost enough to put them at # 1 for me, but Wendy's has really stepped up there game in the last year.

Burger King burgers taste like gas.

Burritos are good but I can't pass on the breakfast potatoes. They should just replace their fries with them.

Good to know if I ever get the drunkin urge to give BK another try.

Wendy's for quality of food

McDonald's service is usually better/quicker though

BK--I got nothing. French fries suck, shake machine is always "broke", hamburgers always seem to have some type of gristle ground into them, and most of the BKs around here are severely understaffed.

I think this is par for the course with every fast food chain (except for Sonic?). Perhaps the shake machine works only during a few early afternoon hours?

If it is late at night, or even close to dinner time, you're not getting that shake so don't even ask.
