If they aren’t viable long term…peace out.

Food deserts incoming?

RBI (BK etc.) doing work!

Their double cheeseburgers are far superior to McDonald's

I used to eat at BK all the time. I haven’t eaten there in years, now.

Maybe they’ll close all of them in Louisiana.

Or at some point, these restaurants will realize that Chik-Fil-A’s employee models work. You get what you pay for as far as help. Pay the help. Maintain a good experience instead of Shaniqua being upset at you for ordering a burger.

Crazy concept;l, I know, but it could work.

I always liked the taste of their burgers but they used to be full of gristle.

When DQ opened here their burgers had the same grilled taste minus the gristle. Not any more.

Do all the BK's fail to greet you at the order speaker and wait until you holler at them or is that just mine?

Do all the BK's hold a hand out the window to stop you before you start the service timer or is that just mine?

Do all the BK's make you pull up past the window and then back up again to reset the service timer or is that just mine?

Do all the BK's close randomly in the middle of the day or is that just mine?

Do all the BK's keep the store closed and only serve the drive-through or is that just mine?

The one on Sherwood near I-12 will surely be one of them. I was surprised to see 1 car in line there a couple days ago. Usually the place looks deserted.

Shocker those 10 nuggets for $1.49 of ankle meat didn’t turn a profit

Fast food chains are dying. They are neither fast nor cheap anymore which used to be the entire appeal of them.

I used to like Burger King, but I can’t think of a good experience at one in the last 10 years. I rarely eat at BK and it has been awful the last few times I tried it.

I love me a Whopper but they are the slowest chain in the business. The one in Dutchtown can't seem to keep employees and the one in St Francisville is terribly slow as well.

I wonder if the ones here will close.

Here's a LINK

Near the intersection of Bonnabel and Vets there were 3 BK's within a mile to mile and a half.. 2 of them closed and the 1 at Oaklawn and Vets stayed.. That one has been there for 50+ years.. The first BK I went to is at Carrolton and Claiborne and that place is still there.. After Church on Sunday with my family. That was a big treat back then.
