McD’s burgers are crap, but BK’s aren’t much better nowadays in my experience. They used to be good, but I just can’t stand them anymore. Wendy’s is good and cheap, so that’s what I go with in my area. Plus, they have the best shakes :)

Avoid the chili though, I hear they throw the old burger patties in the chili pot, even ones that fell on the floor.

I seriously wonder how anyone can stomach McDonalds on a regular basis. Terrible hamburgers and the fries aren’t very good anymore either. Warmed over piss couldn’t be much worse than a regular McDonalds eating experience.

I eat there about once a year, usually breakfast if I am on the road and they are the only option.

I loved Burger King flame broiled burgers but my wife didn’t so I don’t eat there much anymore. Sorry to hear they have changed so much for the worst. I’ll have to give them a try soon and see for myself.

Wendys really went downhill fast just before Dave died. Good to hear they are getting better.

Wendys burgers have never been that special.

I like the spicy chiken sangwich, but dot put the lettuce on the hot chicken to wilt.
It aint rocket science.

Most joints do the same with the burger then they put the tomato against the bun and it gets all wilty.

If you have a good BK (clean and well-managed) nearby, they are good to go.

Their "Burgers for Breakfast" menu option is cool, and I like grabbing a couple regular cheeseburgers and a coffee for breakfast.

I also like the flame-broiled smell of their burgers cooking that you get from the parking lot. It kinda lures me in.

(BTW, I'm not so much as a pound overweight.)

A little doctoring with salt and ketchup and they are okay; they’re not the best burger-joint fries, though.

The jumbo jack with cheese is still a decent burger for the price, at least around here.

I still kinda wish they had made that Jumbaco ☺

Nobody knows whats in that taco but at 3 am who cares?

“I went to a burger king a few weeks ago for the first time in years. I’m impressed that they still exist.”

I think Whoppers with cheese are really good.

Here’s a piece of advice, even if the libs like to use it: support local businesses!

If I had my pick of fast food places to go for lunch tomorrow, I’d pick Jack in the Box, though. They have a lot of variety on their menu, and I LOVE the Sourdough Jack.
