    Whenever I go to Arby’s I get a roast beef with Arby’s sauce and mozzarella sticks. Not a big fan of their fries and I’m aware that’s an unpopular opinion

    BK’s not bottom of the barrel. BK is the barrel

    if you can find a relatively well-run BK (like a winning lottery ticket) that is >>> McD

    but generally they are worse than Popeyes re: customer service and without the deliciousness that still shines through

    They’re owned by the same group that owns BK and Timmy’s.

    BK you gotta go for burgers or their grilled chicken or chicken fries

    anything like their chicken sandwiches are rough, except for the chicken patty which is good nostalgia with the shitty shredded lettuce

    Yea I normally just go double Whopper or the classic chicken sandwich. Their new fried chicken sandwich is awful.

    The only thing I’ll eat from BK is a rodeo cheeseburger and that’s only bc the bbq covers the taste of the awful meat. It’s the worst of the worst fast food

    BK nixed the tendergrill. Not sure if it was planned or a covid thing.

    Tried the Cajun flounder sandwich. Was pretty good but nowhere near the chicken.

    I can get how someone would prefer BK over McDs...but having it on a different tier is shocking to me.

    I personally prefer BK for both breakfast and burgers. The double sausage egg and cheese croissant is so damn good. I'm a fan of the Bacon King, as far as burgers go, but I don't get it very often.

    I think I’d rather have BK onion rings with the dipping sauce than McDonald’s fries and I realize that’s probably an unpopular opinion

    There’s no war, Popeyes won, the rest of fast food is going through antebellum reconstruction right now, and it isn’t going great.

    It's the closest fast food to us so I probably have it once a month but I can't even order the chicken sandwich anymore. The filet is like 3/4 of the size it used to be. More bread than chicken now.

    Feel like McDonald's has done a lot to clean up their stores and brand over the last 10 years. Sonic will always have my heart because a footlong chili cheese Coney with jalapenos and mustard is my comfort food.

    I'd say Wendy's, Popeyes, burger king, churches, steak and shake, and Krystal are the places that I feel the need to bathe after walking out of there.

    Chick-fil-A and in and out just elite tier employees/cleanliness. Always a positive experience.

    I judge place off the food, not off how clean they are or how nice their employees are. I always use drive through so I never see that stuff. Who goes in?

    McDonald's could have white cloth tables, gold forks, and waiters and their meat would still taste like cardboard.

    I think it's bc they have the fast food version of the Cheesecake Factory menu so I always end up ordering something different than a normal burger and it always sucks. Their drinks are good though.
