Out of the 3 big fast food chains in the US, how do you think they compare?
My thoughts:
>McDonald's
Most boring menu and most expensive
Rarely has new menu items that aren't just slight twists
Burgers are way too salty
Best fries and nuggets
Best fish sandwich
>Burger King
Has actual flame grilled burgers
Affordable
Fun menu with frequent changes
Good vegetarian burgers for those interested
Fish sandwich is meh
>Wendy's
Seems to have highest quality burgers, though aren't flame grilled
Has good deals
Has a fun menu, probably most unique
Chili is really good
Worst ice cream selection

Wendy's is catching up because they sucked up to BLM and now many blacks working there are openly hostile to whites.

McDonald's: all over the map. One location has a manager that cares and makes everything good, then a half a mile away you got one that give you 7 nuggets and not ten and it's old.

They all 3 suck dick
I will rarely buy chicken nuggies and a frosty at Wendys, but I dont buy anything else.
Last time I ate a burger at Wendys, they had just introduced the Baconator. So like 2007

I havent walked into McDonalds once since they raised the price of the McDouble
(I slowed down and havent regularly eaten there since they introduced the McDouble and raised the price of the Double Cheeseburger)

I have not eaten Burger King meal since they had Poekmon toys in the kids meal, so probably 20 years now.
Well thats kind of a lie, I bought their Funnel Cake Fried 4-5 times back in 09, but never a meal.

McD is consistently just okay. I don't eat there often because getting into that habit would be really easy because they're everywhere and the 2 cheeseburger combo meal is cheap and just enough food.
BK is cool because they got the impossible burger so now my gf can eat there too and makes a good choice when we're drunk. The one near my house can never stay staffed long enough to stay open past 6 pm on a good day.
Wendys is basically dead to me since they got rid of the cheesy cheddarburger and their more interesting menu items are like $8+. Actually the $5 box is good in a pinch but i don't go there very often.
Also this is my chance to say fuck taco bell for constantly gutting the best menu items they have. Fuck you taco bell.

I hate Burger King. I hate that charcoal grill flavor. There's barely any flavor in the beef so the smoke taste just overpowers and lingers. I tried having a glass of chardonnay with a whopper because I thought that was funny but it ended up being a waste since all I tasted was smoke.

McDonald's is elite food for kings. This past week I went to McDonald's for lunch then Carl's Jr. (Hardees) for dinner to directly compare their chicken sandwiches, Big Macs or fries. McDonald's easily wins in every single match-up.

Haven't been to Wendy's in years but I remember their beef was the moistest of any fast food chain besides something like Five Guys. I liked the fries too, as good as McDonald's. They had awful chicken nuggies though.

McDonalds is B tier. Best items are the fries and anything off the morning menu. Everything else is second best at best.
Burger King is F tier. Low quality, terrible food. This could be justified if the food were dirt cheap, but it isn't. The only fast food places worse than Burger King are places like KFC and Captain D's. There are no worse chain fast food burger places. Burger King is bottom of the barrel.
Wendy's is S tier. Best nuggets. Great burgers. Great chili. Great shakes. Great baked potatoes. They were doing their spicy chicken sandwich decades before it became a dumb fad, and their spicy chicken sandwich is one of the best fast food chicken sandwiches, only perhaps beaten by places that specialize in chicken that aren't KFC because KFC is F tier. Honestly, anything from Wendy's is going to be great.

DQ are garbage in any urban or suburban area. Once you get to the small towns, like a population of 2,000, it’s some of the best fast food you will ever eat. I’m from Texas and just about every small town is more than likely to have a DQ over whataburger or even McDonald’s.

I don’t know if it just because it’s a tight knit community so the management cares or what, but it’s really good. I’ve even been to a DQ with breakfast tacos strangely enough, so I think management has a lot more pull in small towns than any could in the city, leading to better food.

Mcdonalds is the most powerful lord in the fast food kingdom. The food is engineered. Palatable to the extreme. Lifeless and refined menu items. Mcdonalds has the most enemies out of all the fast food places.
Burger King has the Whopper which is the worst signature burger of the 3. It sits nice in the seat of your hand but the taste is just off. Instantly makes you think, well, I get what I paid for.
Wendys burgers are disgustingly slathered with mayonnaise or sauce. Grease and oil gets fucking everywhere. The worst of the 3 to eat in the car.

So cheap in comparison that you wonder what you're actually eating. Their nuggets are practically free. I only eat here for plain and simple double or triple cheeseburgers that aren't much more than meat and cheese.

Actually decent quality and variety for the most part, but I can't justify the prices. It's the closest to my house, but what am I doing spending $13 on a burger and some shit chili or a random side? This place was great when I was younger though, the dollar menu was on point.
