I can’t stand McDonalds, BK, or Wendys. I make better burgers at home.

I do love some Canes, Chick fil a, and whataburger, but I immediately feel like shite after and realize why I never eat fast food

Chickfila is so overrated. I used to work at one back in the young days and they would cook a ton of food and stuff the shoots and fry bin with them. That is why you get the food out so fast, as most of it isn't going to be fresh. Sure the meats may be within the holding time but most of the times the fries are soggy. Another thing that they did that pissed me off would bag the food up and sit it on the counter until you pulled up. So you already are getting older food, and now they are getting even worse by sitting counter (not heating help). Sometimes they can get it all right and everything is fresher but usually the fries are almost always hit or miss. I always add cheese to my sandwich so they make a fresh bun, and I just hope the chicken is within 5 mins of coming out of the grease.

This happens maybe 1 out of every 25 trips to CFA for me. What CFA do you go that isn't busy enough to be constantly cooking fries?

Yeah it does. You probably aren't getting a fresh one either, which further drives home my point. When I was there, the spicy chicken was one of the least sellers and would always be held past the hold time, as you couldn't re use left over spicy like you could with regular chicken (minus the strips) for chicken salad sandwich.

Also we would take the fries out about 30 seconds or more early if there was a hold on fries. Getting them like that fresh wasn't that bad but they got really soggy and quickly went limp d*ck on ya.

But when you can get fresh fries with freshish (within 5-10mins from being removed from oil) and assembled when you order, it can be really good. Like fricking awesome good, which is why I keep going back from time to time, only to be disappointed more than I would like.

Being busy can be worse actually. Like I said I worked at one a long time ago and it was common practice to cook a lot of fries during the rush and stuff the fry holder with fries(could be like 15 or more fry containers), and then have the fry holder (where you dump fries before 'boxing') full of fries waiting to keep everything maxed out. We did this with sandwiches, with nuggets, with everything. The owner had 3 chickfilas at one point and many former employees went on to 'own' their own chickfila's as well. So this wasn't so scrub chickfila.

Most really isn't that bad. I truly hate a few though. Krystal's is always bad around here. Maybe good where you guys live but it's absolute shite here. Jimmy John's subs are bland as frick and easily the worst of the sub places...yet there are four or five in a three mile radius...who the frick eats these bland arse subs?!

I have lately been going to KFC more than I should. The five dollar fill ups are a good deal for lunch. That and the 4 for 4 at Wendy's. I spend money on dinner..for lunch I'm cheap.

Getting Wendy's with 35% back with the GetUpSide app has turned into a weekly event.

Used to. Stopped eating it to lose weight, lost the weight and tried it again and I don't like it much anymore.

I love stopping at Sonic for mozzarella sticks and a Diet Coke with Sonic ice.

I'm just telling you what happened behind the scenes. Plus the chicken salad was made mostly from left over chicken. Occasionally we would cook a fresh batch of chicken for it, but most of the time it was left over chicken. Also we did a TON of catering orders for the schools of chicken biscuits and we would routinely make them an hour or two ahead of time and keep them on koolers.

I've also never really gotten the appeal of CFA's food. I get people liking to go there because the service is almost always better than other fast food places, but the food is average, at best.

I agree. The service is unparalleled but I’ve never been blown away by their food.
