Taco Bell S tier? Little Cesar's A?

Taco Bell meat is racoons they catch digging in their dumpster. Then they grill em up. Actually raccoon would probably taste better than that shit

Absolute God Tier:
The cafeteria in IKEA.

McDonald's, Shake Shack, Rally's, Panda Express, Hardee's

Rally being bottom tier already makes the entire list ineligible

Shake Shack is whack as fuck. It's like 7 dollars for a chicken sandwich that's like 1/10th as good as Popeye's or a mediocre burger. The fries aren't good, either, and the Milk Shakes are pretty whack - except that pumpkin one they had.

Isn't Shake Shack east coast based? So it's like the east coast equivalent of In 'n' Out? Something people hype for absolutely no reason?

arby's is so good. i don't understand the hate.

also, where's the rest of the pizza?

We had two Steak n Shakes and they were absolute garbage. Lasted 6 months

shut the fuck up, calm down kid and something about meltdowns

(I've never had shake shack so I don't know if I agree or disagree with you tbh)

I see a complete lack of A&W on this list.

TC doesn't like Shake Shack but shit like Taco Bell is S and Timmies and White Castle is at A??

lmao

Rally's/Checker's and McDonald's D tier but Taco Bell S tier what a fucking joke

PA resident. I've only had Popeyes and Taco Bell, and I do enjoy them, even if Taco Bell is trash.

A
Little Caesar's, Tim Hortons, Moe's, Get Go, Wingstop, Panera, White Castle, Mr. Hero

Little Caesar's? A? Comparable with Panera? Insane. We don't have Tim Horton's or White Castle around here, but I'd like to try them.

B
Sheetz, Chipotle, Subway, Dunkin Donuts, Qdoba, Bruegger's, Biggby, Long John Silver's, Wendy's, Starbucks, Jimmy John's, Burger King, Tropical Smoothie Cafe

Chipotle is superior to Sheetz. Sheetz food is good, for a gas station. Burger King is not the same tier as Wendy's. Wendy's is good, BK is cheap slop. Long John Silver's probably deserves to be lower, but I love it and regret that all the ones near me have closed. I'm not entirely certain why anyone would voluntarily eat at Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

Chipotle higher; Sheetz, Subway, Dunkin, BK lower

C
Arby's, Blimpie, Dairy Queen, Fazoli's, KFC, Boston Market, Quiznos, Sonic Drive-In

Arby's can be good, depending on what you get. I'd put them in B. Dairy Queen food is pretty good if you can find a Grill and Chill restaurant. Up. Quiznos barely exists anymore, but I always thought they were better than Subway. I don't think we have any left here in PA.

D
McDonald's, Shake Shack, Rally's, Panda Express, Hardee's

Hardee's is great, I don't know what you mean. Their chicken tenders and grilled chicken club sandwich are amazing. They're the only fast food burger place that uses red onion, in my experience, which is far the best burger topping.

sheetz should be higher, white castle and little caesars lower

I wouldn't call the other pizza chains fast food.
Maybe I could include the places like Blaze where they fast-cook the pizza - but meh.

Taco Bell is its own niche, it's cheap, and it caters more to vegans and vegetarians than other fast food chains. Timmies has the best breakfast. White Castle is surprisingly better than I remember it being as a kid. Their little grilled chicken sliders have a fair amount of flavor, and their little veggie patties (not the Impossible ones) are delicious; their regular sliders aren't too bad, either.

Shake Shack is overpriced, bland food.

oh. i don't have a local little caesars. didn't realize they were different.

Where do you rank Tonys in Birch Run?

Chipotle is better at one thing than Sheetz - but Sheetz weird take on Tex-Mex is at least edible, and I can arguably get fast food that's healthier and with more fresh ingredients at Sheetz than basically anywhere on here, other than Get Go. Plus their subs are okay, drinks are okay, etc. All the food is basically okay - but I don't feel guilty getting it, and the stuff they carry in the stores (lots of the beverages, Utz chips, etc.) make it worth going to over any other gas station.

LJS is underrated. The hush puppies are like a GOAT side -- up there with the cheese curds at Culver's or the potato teasers at Swenson's. The fish/chicken are okay, but I think they're unfairly hated just because the stores are usually filthy and poorly staffed. BK is unfairly hated, too. It's always done everything better than McDonald's other than coffee since the '90s.

Grill and Chill was my favorite fast food as a kid. I recently had it again and it went way downhill. The flamethrowers aren't as good as they used to be, the chicken strip baskets don't even use Texas toast anymore, etc. Not to mention the big "draw" of Dairy Queen, the ice cream, is kind of pointless when I live in the Midwest and there are dozens of good local creameries as well as what I call "soccer stands" that sell soft-serve and make Blizzards better than DQ does.

Quiznos was never good. Their guac made them sometimes more desirable than Subway - but hell, now Jimmy John's exists and is better than Quiznos ever was.

No Chick Fil A or Skyline listed?

Totes worth it. Go to Frankenmuth for the day and finish out at Tonys and get a 1lb BLT. I do that about twice a year

Dunno what shit McDonalds you guys have in America but its fine in Aus from my experience

and if Burger King is anything like hungry jacks, thats the true F tier

kfc and dominoes are S tier

Must be west PA because, WAWA.

Taco Bell was S Tier in the 90's and early 00's. Now it's barely D.

The handful of times I've been to Steak n Shake it was decidedly F Tier.

The pizza at Costco isnt great but its edible and a decent option considering how expensive other fast food is becoming.

I've only been to a Wawa once - so I don't think I can make a fair assessment. But Get Go is better than Sheetz and I'm willing to bet it's better than Wawa.

How is CJs below literally BK
