Simple Rules:
Chains only. Regional is fine if they have multiple locations in different cities.

Burger:
Culvers butter burger is the best I have ever eaten. Had it on a business trip to Chicago.
Whataburger used to be my favorite but once they got sold the quality went down. Their Ketchup is the GOAT.
Locally I only have Sonic, Wendys and McDonalds. Sonic burgers are soulless, seasonless, patties of sadness, served on soggy untoasted buns. Will get a quarter pounder on occasion but stick to a local place for the most part.

Fries:
McDonalds when they are fresh. Prefer a thicker cut fry like Wendys had back in the day.
Sonic actually found a way to make their terrible old fries even worse with the Groovy Fries.

Drinks:
Sonic by far. Best ice which is a must for me. Plus, they have slushes. They can be a little stingy with the syrup at times.
McDonalds has the best tasting Coke, but I hate the thick ice.

McDonald's fries suck now. They changed the actual fry. It's no longer long and thick enough for a fluffy center. Now they are short, and so thin that they usually come out resembling Potato Stix.

Braums bacon double cheese for me.
McDonald's fries or Jack in the Box curly.
I only order unsweet tea so no opinion on drinks. Sonic ice is GOAT, though.

If only we had a Food Board….

Admittedly I’ve eaten thousands of meals from Fast Food restaurants. But not since thousands of days ago.

I love an unsweet tea with strawberries at Sonic. Add's some sweetness with minimal carbs compared to a sweet tea.

If you ever want to mess with your brain, get a Sonic Coke with strawberries. Someone told me to try it and that it makes the drink taste closer to a Coke Float. They were not wrong.

You could always whine about it there, instead of bitching about it here.

Never even knew Sonic carried fresh strawberries. Will consider it next time (but in a Dr Pepper)

Once a week max. I get drinks at Sonic often, mostly Sprite Zero or tea. I live in a small town with a couple really good diners that have drive thru. That is my preferred choice. If I lived in a big city with a Culvers and new places to try out, that would be another story
