>>6440281
hey i like cracker barrel and hooters.

>>6440281
i.... i like panda express

olive garden is shit.

italian flavored salt lick

>>6440299

My head hurts. A lot of these places were decent at one time but have drastically gone down hill. I usually only eat out at local restaurants nowadays. Chains are shit 8 times out of 10

>>6440281
Starbucks is delicious. If you don't have a sweet tooth then maybe it isn't for you but that doesnt mean it's bad. They're doing interesting things to the coffee experience besides serving it to you black. Some people don't like a boring cup of joe in the morning, they want flair. Starbucks delivers.

White Castle is also delicious. You can't just eat one. You gotta have a couple and the way the patty soaks up so much of the delicious sizzling onion flavor and cheese is amazing. Add mustard and you're in heaven.

Lots of the other stuff you posted is just as good.

>>6440311
get your shit opinion back to tumblr

>>6440310

Dominos is pretty overrated. they add too much garlicy shit on their crust and every time i eat there i feel sick afterwards. they dont even have stuffed crust 0/10

>>6440311
starbucks is objectively lousy and they water down what coffee should actually be. It's like saying boones farm/mad dog 2020 is doing new things for a fine bordeaux.

most of the sweets are nothing special.

>>6440311
Starbucks has shitty coffee compared to even McDicks. Dunkin is superior. And my thoughts on White Castle are firm. I'm a Krystal fan, don't know why but they just taste better. Please don't argue with me about this, for I do not give fucks. And most of the other restaurants are debatable, I'll give you that. They are only my opinions and don't mean shit

>>6440281
>White Castle

Ok I'm fat, shut up

>>6440310
woah woah woah jimmy johns is great

that being said any seafood chain is always terrible, especially red lobster.

>>6440321
Coffee is made of water. You can't water it down.

>>6440311
GET OUT OF HERE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

>>6440311
>you don't like coffee you like sugar

just say every restaurant chain already you fucking hipsters

>>6440327
>Can't water down something made from water
>Kool-Aide is also made from water
>Gatoraide exists

>>6440327
i think you undesrtand the point i was trying to make tripfag

>>6440322
On another note, Olive Garden is not awful but there are only two things I will order there... My wife likes to go a couple times a year because they have a pretty fucking tasty chicken Alfredo and if you haven't tried their stuffed chicken Marsala, you're missing out

>>6440311
>Starbucks is delicious.
Filtered.

>>6440326
Jimmy Johns is shit compared to Firehouse

>>6440338
>2015
>not making your own chicken marsala

definitely something i would learn to make anon. will cost you about as much to buy it at olive garden and it will come out way better

>>6440327
Ok, next time you make coffee, pour half of it out, then fill the rest of it back up with water and mix it around, then tell me how you can't water it down

Today, I finally figured out why most people don't like tripfags.

>>6440342
ehhh i dunno, i like the simplicity of JJ's

>>6440334
>mfw he's right

>>6440327
When it is made with half of the amount of coffee grounds, and water overpowers the flavour of the beans, then yes, it can be watered down

>>6440345
It's still coffee.

>>6440343
I've tried several recipes. Please share yours. I would love to try it

>>6440327
If that were the case, then the only beverage you could water down is milk

>>6440334

Restaurant chains i like:
Pizza Hut
Friendly's (not sure if it's a more north thing)
Red Robin (their fries are too good and they make their own sauces)
Cracker Barrel
UNO's
Ben & Jerry's (ice cream but w/e)
Outback Steakhouse only because of their bread
Olive garden
and that's all i can think of for now

>>6440327

>>6440352
>>6440352
Sorry if it doesnt meet your standards of not tasting like what it mostly is anyway but Starbucks still makes it taste really good.

>>6440358
>red robin
>only cares about fries
>hamburgers are nigger
Try five guys. Their burgers are fucking killer and I love their fries. I go for the burger though

>>6440372

i like red robin because they have a veggie burger. i like five guy's fries as well but they dont have too many vegetarian options that i like. i've always had a preference for more crunchier fries, and five guy's fries are good, but theyre a little soft for my taste. thanks for the suggestion though! i'd probably go more often if they offered a veggie burger, it's one of my fav meals.

>>6440377
Does it bother you that they cook on the same grill with meat? I don't know if they do because I've never watched them prepare it

>>6440343
Still waiting on that recipe anon. Thanks in advance

>>6440384

i recently found out that they do, i was really angry when i found bits of burger on my veggie burger one day, which really bothered me, so next time i went i asked them that they make sure it touches no meat and if they could possibly cook it on tin foil or something and the lady was totally cool with it. they labled it as a "meat allergy" so i think that's what i'll say from now on
i'm such a strict vegetarian that even meat touching my food really freaks me out which can be stressful. i'm usually just better off making stuff on my own so i know what happens to my food, but there's really something satisfying about having your food prepared and served to you. i really love to go out and eat.

>>6440265
>mfw i actually like CiCi's

I like the one in my neighborhood, at least. I've been to others that are filthy and the pizza sucks. I don't go for their disgusting BBQ, macaroni and cheese or pudding pizzas. You get what you pay for at these places. Pic related

that's the one i like. nothing extravagant.

>>6440438
i have had extremely good food and service with red robin. dunno why its on the shit list

>>6440358
>Friendly's (not sure if it's a more north thing)
Friendlys is a north east thing.

I like their stuff, but the problem is its trying to be as "MURICAN" as possible.
They have the supermelts now and the one they advertise the most is 3 chicken tenders, bacon, and barbeque sauce fried and put between two pieces of buttered bread.

They have the "LOADED potato fries". So not only do you get the fries, but you get bacon, chives, ranch, and sour cream.

Plus, you have to get ice cream if you're going to friendlies, so... what I'm trying to say is almost anything you eat at friendlies is going to be 2500 calories (not including the ice cream) and 4000 mg of sodium.

I mean, its ok to be delusional, but don't try to push it on other people.
Middle Class places all over america don't do nearly that good and they weren't on the shit list.

>>6440452
still a shit tier fast food burger and no amount of care will change that. its just the best fast food burger.

>>6440463
sweetie you've already been defeated in this argument
just give up

>>6440445

i usually get their waffle fries with just cheese sauce and sour cream. im usually too full for icecream after im done with my food so i dont often get ice cream, but i can see where youre coming from. the food is pretty great though
i always get the same thing every time so i dont really pay attention to much else going on in their menu

>>6440445
loved friendlys

i think i liked it more because I was a kid when I went there and if you think about the food it caters perfectly to children. the kids sundaes were on point. in reality, the food is just a step up from denny's but I have a lot of great memories there.

>>6440327
i dont even drink coffee and i know you're full of shit

>>6440474
you have in no way refuted my argument nignog

fast food is for shit people

>what coffee should actually be

>giving a shit about "authenticity"

>being that hipster

>>6440507
i mean you can give me as much grief as you want...i'm still not wrong.

authenticity is what makes good food great, nothing hipster about it, pleb

>>6440511
no, being delicious is what makes a food great. thats literally it. being delicious to someone. everything else is just pretentious fuckery

>>6440515
we're on two different pages, my friend. starbucks is shit and you should be embarassed.

i'm not even really opposed to chains. fuck, i actually like dunkin coffee. starbucks is just overpriced bullshit.

>>6440515
also, so by your logic a McChicken is equal to a slow cooked boeuf bourguignon because they're both delicious?

>>6440525
i didnt say i liked starbucks. its not delicious. its sugared and gross. but just because something is a chain or is popular or is simple doesnt make it not delicious.

>>6440529
a mcchicken is not delicious what the fuck is wrong with you?

>>6440438
I have awful taste. So you like these fuck-holes?

Just got home and checked the thread. Thanks for the recipe, anon. I'll give it a go this weekend

>>6440572
After mowing the yard, I'm getting hungry. Might run to the store and grab some ingredients for this.
I'm curious if /ck can give opinions on this recipe:
http://www.whatscookinchicago.com/2009/09/stuffed-chicken-marsala.html
I know it's made by some kind of nigger lady in Shitcago but what do you guys / gals think of the ingredient list?

Is this Fazoli's?!?!?!

>>6440596
WA LA!!!!!!!

>>6440596
>6440251
Quit niggering up the boards. There is a reason these mother fuckers keep shutting down stores across the U.S.

>>6440604
I used to work at fazolis

it fucking blew

also, the meat sauce starts out as bright orange meat in a plastic bag that gets warmed up in a hot water bath (lol sous vide) and then gets incorporated (dumped) into a vat of marinara.

still tastes good tho, but I always would get the pasta bakes or the creamy basil sauce for dipping breadsticks in

>>6440632
I believe you, anon

>>6440632
So I'm curious, do the chef's actually give a shit if you order the "light" options?

>>6440265
>Mac n cheese pizza
You know you want it

Seriously though cicis is like chuck e cheese without the games.

>>6440859

What about Burgerville or Bob's Big Boy?? Only acceptable chains imo

>>6440887
burgerville in oregon?

>>6440328
This is the appropriate response.
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Last time I ate at Pizza Hut I got sick. Had stomach cramps and weird pains in the gut, sweating, nauseousness, to the point where I nearly called 911. No one else who ate that shitty pizza had those effects so I didn't have a case to call them up and complain. Usually I'm the person who has an iron gut, I ate street food for 4 weeks in Mexico and had no problems but fucking good ol' Pizza Hut back home made me very sick.

I think they make better food in other parts of the world cause the Pizza Hut pizza I had in Europe was good, here's it's just so fucking shitty greasy that my stomach probably said "nope, will not fucking allow you to put this in me".

Take 3 cups of black coffee.

Leave one untouched.

Pour out 1/2 of one and fill it back up with milk.

Pour out 7/8 of the 3rd one and then fill it up over halfway with some kind of thick caramel syrup, then the rest with milk.

Don't you try and tell me that last one is still coffee you fucking jew.

I honestly don't understand the love for In-N-Out. I've had it a few times and it was okay, but it wasn't anything I would go out of my way for. It's certainly not the best food I've ever had like some people make it out to be.

What's wrong with Red Robin?
Maybe its the ones we have here in Canada, but everything I've had there is pretty good, albeit expensive comparable to others.

>>6441608
The only Leinenkugels I've had that was good was the stuff made in Chippewa Falls.

The stuff made in Milwaukee is nasty, which isn't surprising considering that the water quality is so poor.

>>6440265
>not liking that vanilla pudding pizza

>>6440321
>watered down

Both of my local starbucks make coffee strong as fuck. In fact, I made coffee "the way you're supposed to" for years until I had starbucks, and they were easily making it double strength.

I used to do a tablespoon of grounds per 6 oz drip. now I do nearly 2 Tbs for every 8 ounces of water. And it's still not as strong as starbucks serves up.

Posting an actual shitty chain. Most of guys are memester edgelords. I've worked at a lot of the places mentioned, and most of them are by no means "shitty", you just don't like them or their fanboys.

I was a 2nd/3rd shift manager at Jack In The Box for a while. Some of the lowest quality food and "cooking" standards I've seen.

Half the menu is microwaved, the other half is drenched in oil, and pretty much everything has chemicals in it. No natural things here. Meat is Taco Bell quality, cheese is plastic, the famous cheap tacos use catfood-tier meat, the chicken and eggs are low-grade factory farm shit. All the sauces contain hfcs and lots of preservatives since an open sauce bottle usually stays open for up to a week.

Shitty rural store with a bad GM? Not even, it's the 2nd busiest location in greater STL area, and a training store.

>"b-b-but I always get their X-burger and it's delicious! you're full of shit!"

>>6440342
I've only been to Firehouse subs but it was shitty and overpriced. Is that typical? Maybe I hate hot subs?

El Pollo Loco. I don't understand how these places stay in business. if I want to resign myself to bland, shitty chicken, I can get it cheaper from a grocery store. Their sides are the most flavorless "Mexican" food I've tasted, it's like they've managed to combine the worst qualities of "authentic" poverty-tier Mexican fare and Americanized "Mexican" slop.

Oh, and I got food poisoning the last time I ate there.

>>6442790
>pecan waffle with raisin toast and country ham

the only appropriate things to order at any waffle house.

>>6441608

Texas got one thing right.

>>6445006

I have one across the street from me. Burritos are actually pretty good. I have authentic Mexican places right down the road as well, and the Pollo Loco near me is just fine compared. I only get the burritos though, so there's that. I have talked to some people who don't really care for it and they seem to say that it varies by location widely because the chicken is marinated and grilled in-house, so it depends on the management not to be shit and let the quality slide. I guess I'm lucky the one by me is decent.

>>6440310
I've heard Bonefish Grill isn't that bad.

Fuck me, I ate at a Cheesecake Factory for the first time in my life this winter, and I actually enjoyed it. I went to it fully expecting it to be awful, but no matter how hard I tried to find a fault with my entree (it was a chicken and shrimp curry), I couldn't. It was just really damn good. I feel so bad. ;_;

Why don't people like Chili's?

In my town there is no "mom and pop" restaurants, only chains - but I have no problem with chilis. It's cheap sit down place that doesn't bend me over for some drinks, either.

...Plus i like their chips N salsa.

You guys are just overly picky i think sometimes because you happen to have a glorious non-chain restaurant around, or something. Not sure.

Little Caesars is hands down the worst pizza I've ever had. Maybe it was just the one I went to but there was just no flavour at all. I've only ever had it once.

>>6447072

Those little screens are the best. you put it to the edge of the table, w/e, but you can buzz your server over with it, order a drink without talking to your shit server, and you can pay your bill on the screen print a receipt and fuckin leave. It's awesome.

romanos macaroni grill can suck a fat dick
also red lobster creates more horrors from the sea then HP lovecraft.
and the worst place I have ever eaten just in terms of flavor texture, taste, and price, has gotta be del taco... they are the meth heads taco bell, I wouldn't eat there if I was starving to death.... fuck those guys.

>Red Robin
Shitty service erry time, and the burgers are meh at best. The ONLY thing they have going is the onion rings and sauce.
>Bagger Dave's
A cardboard cutout of a hamburger would have loads more flavor than this place.
>Applebee's
Go into a store and find the instant mashed potatoes. There's name-brand, store-brand, and then the sub-store-brand (which is only bought out of desperation.) Applebee's is the sub-store-brand of restaurant chains.

The Gondolier. Shitty Italian Chain from the southeast US currently trying to break into the midwest market. Place is fucking horrible.

Does she have a penis?

>>6446292
You must live somewhere small. I feel bad for you son.

>>6447738
to be fair their kitchens have like 500 people working them, but yeah I still agree. their cheesecake is shit too, too fluffy and definitely not new york style as they claim.

Worse than Subway but for the same price.

>>6440281
Sonnys barbecue was my favorite restaurant and then they changed all their food and it was shitty as fuck

>>6447738
cheesecake factory is a fucking riot

girlfriend drags me there occasionally against my will

overpriced and overseasoned everything

I know a plate of pasta is basically a shitload of calories but if you look up the details I promise everything is 2-3x more than you'd think

>>6448693
I ate at a Sonny's when I was in Florida last year. I wasn't that impressed.

>>6442663
Jack in the box always stood out to me (as a brit) as this shining pinnacle of amerifatness, the sheer quantity of burgers and tacos you can get and their insane combos, I really wanted to try it. Ended up completely forgetting about it when I went to California and Oregon, kind of glad I did now because the food I had on that trip was really great and it seems like Jack in the box would have tarnished, or at least grease stained that experience.

>>6440265
>Cici's Pizza

one of these opened in my white suburb. then the blacks came. cici's was like a fucking black person magnet. now all that's left is rubble.

fuck you cici's pizza.

>>6442790
Literally meme food. I like how all the /ck/ucks give this place a free pass. Probably because they're all obese, inbread southerners.

>>6442702
Fuck you, Nando's is the bomb. In the UK at least, and the UAE. I've never had it anywhere else.

>>6445006
Literally for a second I thought you were talking about Los Pollos Hermanos.

>>6451605
Fun fact: all Nando's chicken sold in the UK is Halal.

>>6451643
Fun fact: I don't give a fuck as long as it takes good. And only in certain locations with a high Paki population.

>>6440358
>Outback Steakhouse only because of the bread
How the fuck do people like their bread so much? Its literally white bread dyed brown to look fancy. Unless the Outback near me has been cutting corners on the food they're serving, I can't see how people like the bread unironically.

>>6451755
Are you new here or something? Have you seen the way these people live? Remember that "artisan bread" and "specialty cheese" are real things that people say, unironically. Of course they would think the bread at olive garden or outback are the pinnacle of gastronomic achievement.

>>6440438
Cracker barrel is a piece of shit.

>>6447049
Five Guys is overrated as fuck. Went to one for the first time last year. Paid $14 for a burger, fries, and a drink. Burger was small and unremarkable. Fries came out hot, but soggy for some reason. Drink was fine.

Could've gotten better quality for half the price at Hardee's, McDonald's, Backyard Burger, etc.

>>6447084
Little Ceaser's was way better in the 80's. They sold two-for-one pizzas, round or square, and would make them with any kind of toppings you wanted.

At some point in the 90's they did some sort of corporate restructuring and now all they do is have three types of pizza. Pepperoni, Sausage, or "Supreme" (Supreme let-down, if you ask me.). Their wings always come out soggy, too. I'm not a fan.

>>6451518
More like they're alcoholics and when the bars close at 2 or 3 AM this is the only place open, and this kind of greasy shit is delicious when you're drunk.

>>6451951
>Little Ceaser's was way better in the 80's.

Yes. Yes, they were.

>>6451959
>i-it's okay when the s-south does it
Literal subhumans.

>>6451951
I worked at little Caesars. They only keep some things ready, but you can order anthing you want

>>6440310
whataburger and jersey mikes are GOAT you filthy cunt.

>>6452058
Well, the ones in my city don't have anything but Pepperoni (Regular/Deep Dish), Sausage (Regular/Deep Dish), Supreme (Regular/Deep Dish), Wings, Cheesy Bread on the menu. Is there some sort of secret menu they don't advertise?

>>6452509
Just a normal pizza menu. I've never heard of a hotb& ready only store but they could exist

>>6451987
They started in Georgia, but they've expanded to other areas.

>>6452517
>400 in Georgia

Jesus Christ, explain yourselves Georgians? They've got to beon every other block?

>>6452523
381 by looking at the map. It seems you have no idea of how a franchise works. Waffle House started in Georgia in 1955. Over the last 60 years, the company has expanded.

>>6452517
crazy how closely that correlates to how shitty a state is

>>6452517
I'm surprised Arkansas only has 41. I can think of about a dozen in a 30 mile radius.

>>6452531
>expanded
>non existant in the best states
How cute.

Anyone remember Chi-Chis?

>>6452554
I got that image from a Washington Post article about how just about all the states with a Waffle House voted for Romney.

>>6452563
You're cute, too. Wanna come over and snuggle?

>>6452568
Hell yeah. Used to have one in the town where I went to college. Didn't their restaurant chain close? I think they still make salsa you can buy in the store.

>>6452603
She's a qt. Actress' name?

>>6452613
Hanna Fierman. Movie is called VHS. Next scene after this the bitches head splits open and she tries to eat some dude.

What do you guys think about El Pollo Loco? Is it good? Tempted to try it when i leave for LA on tuesday

>>6447549

ABC

out of anything listed, it's the worst.
It tastes/looks/is sad old people food.
Everything about it is sad.

Hands down, it has to be Burger King.

The last time I got a hamburger and fries at Burger King it was because the power was out and that was the closest place with electricity. One bite of the hamburger and I threw it away. One bite of the fries and they followed the hamburger into the trash. The only thing edible was the watered down coke.

The last time I ate at a Dairy Queen, the hamburger was okay but the fries were extraordinarily bad -- the worst fries I have ever eaten. I didn't know fries could taste that bad.

I have no idea how they could have such a bad taste. A mouse in the fryer wouldn't have tasted that bad.

Ever since then, the thought of going back makes me consider starvation as a viable and much preferred alternative.

>>6452708
It's KFC for Mexicans. That's literally what it is.

Want to pay 20 bucks for something that tastes like nothing? Me neither. White people love to say this is amazing.

>>6452720
Atlanta Bread Company?

Huh. I actually really like it for what it is. Pretty diverse selection, there's always something I'm in a mood for.

Really enjoy their soup too.

>>6452787
Stop pretending you aren't white

>>6452900
I'm white but I can't speak for other white people? They're the only people who worship that shit.

>>6452787
taco fucking bell has more flavor

>>6452904
>they're

Just stop already

>>6452708

There's one of them in a nearby town. I've been tempted to try it out, but I go there so seldom that I mainly just stick to restaurants I like in the town since I haven't been there in a while.

>>6451940
I wouldn't say McDonald's is better quality. Five Guys is definitely a really shitty burger joint and probably a contender for most overrated fast food chain of all time, but they're certainly better than mcdonalds in terms of quality if not value.

>>6452607
Chi Chi's went under because of hepatitis being in the green onions

>>6452921
>contender for most overrated fast food chain of all time

Definitely possible, but I think In-n-Out has to take it pretty handedly. Hell, half of five guys' fame is that "it's basically in-n-out."

>>6452921
>if not value.
are you implying it is even close to competitive with McDonalds in value?
A $1.20 McDouble vs a $10 meal at 5 guys?

>>6446983

How about best chain restaurants?

My votes:

Chick-Fil-A
Cook-Out
Steak 'n Shake
Cheddars
Pita Pit
Noodles and Company
Generic Chain Mexican restaurant in every city
Zaxbys
Krystal Burger
Yoshinoya
Mos Burger
KFC outside the US
Popeyes

>>6452942
i don't see how in-n-out and 5 guys are similar at all

5 guys is fine for a burger place. you get a decent meal for a decent price, but it's nothing special

i once went to an in-n-out when i was in california, i have no clue what is so special about it. the place was packed as fuck too, we literally had to wait just to get a table to sit down to eat it (dining room was filled with mostly teenagers, local high school must have just gotten out). sure I guess the burger was a little better than mcdonalds, but the fries were nothing to write home about. is it so revered because of muh secret menu?

It would be like if I went around ranting on the internet about how culvers is the best fast food place because I live in the midwest. Sure there food is great and probably my favorite burger chain, but I don't feel the need to advertise it to the world.

>>6453294
Popeyes
Mah nigga

>>6452909
>They're
>They are
>Just stop
Does the correct use of apostrophes trigger you or something?

>>6440296
Anon, I can understand the desire for american Chinese, but the only thing on their menu that doesn't induce vomiting for me to look at is the general tsos chat cken which is assuredly cloyingly sweet and rubbery. Do yourself a favor and find a local shitty chinese restaraunt

>>6440342
Firehouse has better fillings but JJ is somewhat cheaper and has big sammiviches

>>6440372
>try meme burger
Overpriced overhyped horseshit

>>6453724
Is Jimmy John's really all that fast though?

I don't believe it, but if they deliver on that promise, I guess it could be worth it.

>>6442790

Their hashbrowns are the tits though. Load 'em up with some tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms.

>>6453730
>Le epic meme thing shitpost

>>6453294
never had cook-out, pita pit, yoshinoya or mos burger.
Krystal's is absolute shit.
Everything else on the list god-tier

>>6454341
I work at JJ's and I make a solid 30 second #9 by myself.

Every store has one or two really fucking fast employees.

>>6442790
Eh, it serves its purpose

>>6440281
>Hard Rock Cafe
Its a little overpriced, but delicious

>>6440310
>jersey mikes
Back the fuck up dude

>>6440342
I ate at firehouse once
I felt swindled
I spent $8 for half a sandwich and all their adds told me how filling they were

>>6454341
We have a drivethru Jimmy Johns here. They can make two sandwiches and a drink before you get your receipt back from paying

>>6440265

I agree CiCi's is crummy, but my fascination was captured by this chart they have on the wall in the kitchen.

I spotted it when I got dragged there with an ex's family and had the manager explain it to me.

Basically, it explains the cost of the waste in terms of lost customers. It tickled my ass burger.

>>6442702
oh, cheeky son👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

>>6448680
kek, i know the owners and ate at the first ever one

its so shit

The worst chains are Burger King and Moe's because, whether you like the alternatives (McDonalds/Wendy's and Chipotle) or not, they are objectively worse than them.

>>6440310
How has chipotle changed? I've never eaten the meat there so besides the addition of Sofritas which made my life better, nothing's changed to me.

>>6441259
When I was 17 I was already past the Starbucks hype honestly, more like middle school aged

>>6442702
Nando's wins all

>>6440887
burgerville is fucking heaven

>>6457844
I'll take a Whopper over a Big Mac any day. Moe's is dogshit though. Never had Qdoba but Willy's and Chipotle aren't even on the same level as terrible horrible Moe's.

>>6457914
starbucks? what hype? get over what?

if you're going to sit in a coffee shop and drink coffee, they have good coffee, AND ALL REFILLS ARE FREE FOREVER.

NONE of their drinks are expensive if you drink 4 of them while sitting there.

>>6440345
Sounds like having sex on a canoe. (It's fucking near water). kek.

>>6440394
troll or kill your self

>>6452517
this must be old, because I live in Illinois and I can think of two Waffle Houses near here, and I doubt the only two in the state are just both right by St. Louis

And Georgia get your shit together for fucks sake

>>6453299
Fucking this. Midwesterner here as well and i love Culvers. Tried In-N-Out once when I took a vacation out west, and all I could think was "This is the Californian Culver's." People only rant and rave about it because it's the best chain that covers every square inch of their particular part of the country.

Does the east coast have something similar?

>>6458794
Yes. At least the South does. It's pretty fucking delicious though.

>>6442790
These queers get subsidized generators for there business and they have to stay open during horrid weather

>>6440281
Why Cracker Barrel? I've been on enough road trips where that place is like an oasis in the desert that I love that place.

>>6447084
Little Caesars at the Kmart in my city is God tier delicious for a chain place. Probably because they seem to have a menu stuck from the 90s with the modern stuff too. Tried a few of the regular Little Caesars locations around here and they're shit. Dry. Plain. Gross.

>>6453294
>everytime I've eaten cook out, no matter WHAT it is, I shit uncontrollably. Taco bell doesn't do this, spicy food doesnt do this, fuck even sam's hotdog stand doesnt do this. WHAT THE FUCK IS COOKOUT DOING TO MY INTESTINES? I ONLY WANT TO ENJOY A CHEESEBURGER OR SOME DANK ASS CHILIDOGS, FUCK.

>>6460675
I'm sorry for you. Cook Out is the best fucking burger place. You can get 2 corn dogs a cheese burger and a milkshake for 6 bucks.

>>6440327
THIS IS WHY PEOPE HATE TRIPFAGS. GOD DAMN.

>>6460682
I FUCKING KNOW IT MAKES ME SO GOD DAMNED MAD IT MUST BE SOMETHING IN THEIR SEASONING

The ones in richmond va are bretty good, but the one here in harrisonburg is pretty shit tier.

>>6440358
>Friendly's

I ordered a burger and it came with a very long, very unattractive hair in it...I then ordered one of their ice cream sundaes and it ALSO came with a very long, very unattractive hair in it.

Will never go back.

>>6440310
>Red Lobster

B-But muh biscuits.

>>6452906
taco bell is definitely garbage but it's much tastier than chipotle yeah

>>6461753
Did you send it back/ask for a refund or did you eat around it?
