(This is a spinoff of the Burger King burrito thread)

Of the big four or five fast food restaurants (McD, BK, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Jack in the Box), do you have a go-to, it will do, and/or no way I am eating there?

I may come across some drunken Brother's chicken strips every now and then. Don't really eat fast food anymore.

I used to get me an order of 3 beefy five layer burritos (Taco Bell) once a month or so in college. I would be so happy eating them, and then feel like I needed a nap after.

I lived on Taco Bell's value menu back in my college days (80's & 90's), but cannot stomach that crap now other than maybe a soft beef taco.

McD, I can grab a spicy McChicken on the dollar menu. Other than that, the McGriddle has always been my go-to fast food breakfast.

I haven't had Jack in the Box in years, but I always felt they had the best burgers among the ones I listed above.

BK and Wendy's are stuck in the 90's and I'd avoid them.

I love the disgusting tacos at JiB.

McD and TB are fine with me.

That said, I don't eat any of them anymore for weight maintenance reasons. Not because I have the stomach of a 90 year old woman like some here.

I refuse to ever eat from Burger King again. The ones down here have become total shite holes and I can't bring myself to step foot in one.

Enjoy chik fila.
Mc Donald's and Raising Canes are ok.

Go-To:
Wendy's
Burger King

It Will Do:
McDonald's

No Way I'm Eating There:
Taco Bell
Jack In The Box

I'm fine with most fast food if I'm pressed for time. Canes and Chick Fil A have the most consistent quality, so I prefer them to most. I can find something to eat at just about any of them though.

Only one I don't really eat at is Jack in the Box. I don't even know if there's one in the NOLA area, and I never grew up eating it, so I have no desire for it. It was OK the few times I had it in college though.

ETA: Nice to see I've got some downvoters on this board apparently.

If I'm eating fast food, Taco Bell is normally my #1 choice. I lived off of it in college and I still get cravings for it on occasion. I'm quite aware its a notch above dog food.

I also crave Cane's on occasion.

I don't go to McD, BK, Wendys, JinB, Arbys, etc. Nope.

I'll get a fast food burger at Whataburger or a dog at Sonic on rare occasions.

So, between the five options the OP gave you, you chose to acknowledge zero of them?

I eat Micky D's breakfast all the time. I can't do the powdered or frozen eggs and MD's is one of the few places that will crack a real egg. I eat thier regular menu maybe once a year, and usually regret it.

My best guesses on fast food frequency per year:
Popeyes- 8
Sonic-5
Wendy's- 5
Taco Bell- 3
Others- 5

I'm all about Whataburger and Dairy Queen. Chick-Fil-A and Popeyes are good too.

The rest of them I could do without ever eating again.

No Subway?

No ranking here, but Subway, Popeyes, Whataburger, Five Guy, Jimmy Johns, and Panera are probably my tops

Wendy's, McDs, Sonic, Rally's, CFA, Shake Shack are acceptable.

Little Caesars, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, Panda Express are no way.

Wendy's is heads and shoulders better than McD and BK. I go often.

A couple things at Bueno are good-others terrible.

That's pretty much it for me.

Just curious. When was the last time you went there. I find their congealed roast beef sandwiches to be pretty offensive, but their newer menu options are actually pretty good.

Taco Bell.....a notch above dog food.


I love that stuff. T'Bell, not actual dog food.
