I used to say Wendy's until they quit pattying their own meat and hand battering the Chicken for their chicken sandwhiches. Plus I can't stand there new fries.

Niether of the big three makes good burgers anymore.

When I want a good Hamburger I useually just go to Time in either Slidell or Covington.

I find Wendy's to be way too greasy. I prefer McDonald's out of the big 3. If BK could execute, they'd be higher, but their service is too shitty to consider them.

Maybe bbrou can explain, he's a fan.

I just have always liked the fries. I'm not sure what it is about them, but I could eat them for days. I don't like the sogginess of McD's. And The Wendy's fries just aren't that good.
BK Fries for me

You say McD's fries are soggy, but are pimping BK's? I can't take that seriously.

BK's fries are easily the worst of the big 3, probably the worst fast food fry available.

I like what I like. I don't care what anyone else thinks.
As it is I don't even remember the last time I ate at any of these places.

You should swing by BK and see if you think they're any good. They're really bad IMO. And they don't even season them, like at all.

Only McDonalds for me.

I like the little kid's meal burgers.

Not a fan of big sloppy burgers there or at other fast food places.

I hate BK.

McDonalds -- 2 McDoubles and 2 small fries is my go to fast food order. They've got the best fast food fries around. Plus they have a good breakfast items and good coffee. And they're cheap, cheap, cheap.

Wendy's -- They have the best tasting burger. Fries are usually a little soggy. Never had their breakfast. Is there a Wendy's breakfast in BR?

Burger King -- They put way too much mayo on the burgers. Breakfasts aren't good at all. But they do have the best fish sandwich.

Mcdonalds- only get Hot N spicy / add cheese

BK- I like the bread the best of the 3, but fries blow.

Wendy's- best burgers and best value menu.

1) Burger King - hard to beat a Double Whopper when you are super-hungry. Their fries suck- I either get o-rings, or JUST a burger

2) Wendy's - I like the different stuff they do- like the Pretzel bun burger, etc. Their fries are shite. I havent had their fries in years.

3) McDonalds- Ok burgers. I never crave them, ever. I usually get a Big Mac or Quarter Pounder. Nothing special. But their fries are always good and the only 1 of these 3 whose fries are actually edible.

Southern chicken McGriddle with a round egg on it is the best breakfast item in the fast food world imo.

Wendy's - Aside from Chik-Fil-A, they have the best spicy chicken sandwich with cheese going. I'm a fan of the new fries as well and love their burgers also. Never have had breakfast from here, but their frosty's make up for it.

Burger King - (BK, as well as MCD, really vary from location to location so I can only speak for the one located by me) Their food always tastes fresher than MCD's to me. The burgers are always hot, cheese always melted, and the fries are always hot as well. Their chicken tendercrisp sandwich is great, but wish they would bring the spicy one back. Not a fan of their coffee or breakfast, but for lunch or dinner it's not bad.

McDonalds - I just can't bring myself to really ever eat there for lunch or dinner. If I do I'll most likely go with the chicken nuggets. Fries are always soggy, shakes suck, and their premium chicken sandwhiches are just awful. They have good breakfast I guess, better than BK at least, but that's about the only time I can bring myself to visit.

Wise, are either Mickey D's or Wendy's on St Chuck considered to be in the comfort zone?

Also, you really must have been bored this morning.

Never realized it before, but THEY DO. Like petroleum gasoline, you're right.

1. Wendy's: Best burgers (in that they actually taste like they're made of meat), best fries, best salads, best chicken sandwiches + chile. Clearly, if it weren't for their terrible service (at least at the locations nearest me), they would be far, far and away the top burger chain of the big 3.

2. McDonald's: best service, fastest, most convenient locations, terrible burgers. Their chicken sandwiches and snack wraps are pretty good, fries are great but I prefer Wendy's, desserts like their McFlurry, apple pie, and Cinnamon whatever it is are good as well. Their speedy service and convenience at that price point are the only reasons I go (that, and my SO likes their chicken nuggets for some reason).

3. Burger King: Worst service, slow, worst fries, nastiest restaurants, and simply mediocre everything. They are a complete dumpster fire of a franchise. Literally everything they do is terrible. If they could improve their food and/or their atrocious service, they might be worthy of frequenting on occasion (due to their delicious breakfast options like french toast sticks and ciniminis), but they're terrible. Even worst than that, the last 2 times I ate there, it made me sick to my stomach. F&%k BK.
