it's definitely good for a fast food burger but it's really nothing special, 5 guys or smashburger is just as good (if not better) & you dont have to wait 30 minutes for your food there

Five Guys has to be up there.

People rave about it, but really, its super over priced crap.

Apparently if you want people to think you have great food all you have to do is dump a bunch of greasy, slimey fries into the bottom of the bag. A container? Fuck that. These are your special "extra" fries that make the slimey, chewy cheeseburger so fucking amazing!

I agree, I liked them but I went two weekends ago and it was pretty meh, I mean their curly fries are good.

Wawa makes a good roast beef hoagie thats better than arbys and their horseradish sauce is better.

I love five guys, but I hardly consider it fast food since a single order is usually over $10

Wendy's

People think it's better than McDonalds or BK, when it's comparable to BK and distinctly worse than McDonalds.

All of this is true. I love Arbys fries & their condiments are ok, but outside those two Arbys is probably the worst fast food chain besides Subway & Sbarro.

BK is definitely worse than Wendys but outside that I agree. I think Wendys quality declined a bit when they scrapped the yellow color scheme on their food wrappers.

It just might be. It doesn't do a chicken sandwich better than any other major fast food place imo. And naked waffle fries? What a joke. Not worth going to. People online like to meme about customer service, but I only use the drive thru and every restaurant is the same in that regard since I don't live in the south

I live far north & get consistently great service, wtf.

Anyways you trippin about the sandwich but the fries are kinda weak & definitely overrated, Ill give you that. Not sure what you meant by naked tho

See, I feel like In N Out and Five Guys are basically the same quality although I remember my first time being slightly above average than Five Guys. Maybe I was lucky and got a medium-well patty, who knows but it's not grounds for being overrated.

That's what I'm saying. Service is only unforgivably bad in the south

CFA service is noticeably better than other fast food restaurants up here. Not many fast food joints in the area have unforgivably bad service but the difference is clear as day!

You say this like it isn't applicable to every food item from every fast food restaurant.

Like no shit homemade food is always going to taste better and cost less.

You're comparing a $3 burger to a $8 or $9 dollar burger.

In n Out is consistently the cheapest "good" burger, making it an excellent value. No one is arguing other burgers aren't better or equivalent.

There's a weird cult of personality around Chick Fil A that bewilders me. Their sandwiches are better than shit like the McChicken or something, but I've had better ones from other fast food places that don't have people undyingly defend them

Based on my general location experience I'd say it's whataburger as well.

Some years back Wendy's changed something and now their pickles taste like raw cucumbers. I don't know if this is normal or just the area, but it can go fuck right off with that. Pickles should taste like pickles, ya know like everyone else. I like em still to an extent, but the grease is something else. Probably why I actually prefer BK over wendy's 80-90% of the time.

Whataburger for all its hype I've found is very very close to sonic. To be honest they're next to each other and even going to other ones it's the same. It might very well be the exact same source/truck for all I know. It's very meh, considering their commercials make em out to be some holy burger that everyone obeys.

Their roof also makes me feel like they're being tented and fumigated. I haven't had them in a very long time so I can't compare hardee's/carl's, don't really care for checker's/rally's(they're ok, but actually prefer the hotdogs and fries tbh), and krystal is alright/unique for hitting that special spot.

IDK what you guys are arguing about wrt to in n out and 5 guys, but I've had both in multiple states and 5 Guys is better overall because fries. In N Out has great buns and by extension the hamburgers are really good, but 5 guys burgers are also really good and their fries keep for longer than 20 minutes, so 5 guys

They're not comparable. In n out is actual fast food, five guys costs as much as a regular restaurant. When I want something cheap and good I go to in n out. When I want to spend over 10 bucks on a burger and fries, hell will freeze over.
