I wonder how much fast food I could buy now that the canuck dollar is in the toilet

>>6840827
pizza pizza is literally the worst fast food chain of all time.
hero burger sells frozen fucking burgers for fresh burger prices, they have decent poutine though.
jew york fries is overpriced shit.

honestly without quebec canadas fast food scene would be dismal.

>>6840827
>>6840834
swiss chalet is fucking godly though, goddamn i love it. better than quebecs st hubert, but st hubert aint bad in general.

>>6840834
Ive lived in Toronto and Montreal. The best places in canada aren't even listed here. They are non chain, walk down the street type places.

Also, OP, Kelsey's is NOT monarchy at all. That place is somewhere I used to go with my friends after soccer in Highschool. It's cheap as fuck and the food is dry.

>>6840834
Probably why they're in the "homeless tier".

>honestly without quebec canadas fast food scene would be dismal

Québec has fuck all aside from St. Hubert and La Belle Poubelle. Fucking amazing independent places though.

>>6840827
>>6840834
>>6840838
oh yeah kelseys is also fucking shit, not as bad as pizza pizza but its still absolute trash.

boston pizza is the definition of mediocre

>>6840840
true

>>6840841
youve obviously never tried dic anns bennys scores mikes or a miriad of other great places.

>>6840840
- adding - extreme pita is better than pita pit. Get your facts straight boooyyeeee

>>6840844
I'm from Québec, buddy; our fast food chains are shit.

But yeah, I'll give you Dic Ann's since they're pretty based (but they only exist in Montreal, so...you know).

>>6840844
>youve obviously never tried dic anns bennys scores mikes or a miriad of other great places

Montrealer detected.

>>6840832
About 30% more ameri-bro

>>6840844

Literally St.Hubert with a different name and higher prices.

>>6840864
>Montrealer detected.
was, i live in toronto now. apart from getting paid a lot more it sucks and so do the people.

the shitty food is just icing on the cake

>>6840868
somewhat, but IMO they make the best poutine in the province. i used to drive 2 hours just to get the large chicken poutine.

>>6840867
not really, our prices are naturally higher here(food regulations) so you might make off with like 10 or 15% even at 30% higher currency.

Pita Pit is nice though, I had it in London and it was delicious.

>>6840897
Yeah definitely better than SUbway.

>>6840897
>Pita Pit is nice

>>6840895
Nah, not even for fast food bro: that place is low mang

This thread reminded me of a Coffee Time in Newmarket ON near a place I worked that sold cigarettes. Truly homeless tier.

>>6840909
Near Huron and the T&B? that place is practically the new patch.

>>6840909

>>6840886
>>6840827
maybe not fast food tier, but quebec also has the best sugar cabane breakfasts come springtime.

>>6840913

What a fucking joke it was trying to commute from Bradford across Green Lane... The Newmarket civil engineering dept should be shot and pissed on.

>>6840928
Honestly it's even worse now that Davis and a huge chunk of Yonge has been torn up for three years for "road improvements".

You guys ever been to any of the Burger Priests in the GTA area? Thoughts?

Hey man, a veggie pita with feta and chipotle sauce is the shit.

>Greater Toronto Area area

ATM machine! PIN number!

>>6840827
Canada is one of the last places on the planet where McDonalds is still good
They also pump out limited time things regularly, often with brand new sauces n stuff.
And the McChickens are the evolved form.

>>6840914
Why so salty?

>Must be all that poutine and smoked meat

>>6840943
>GTA area
RIP in piece

have any quebecers tried smokes poutine?
how does it compare to la belle poubelle and lafleurs?
the basic fries cheese n gravy not the extravagant toppings they offer, although im sure its amazing.

>>6840827
Swap Montana's and Kelsey's.

>>6840943
There's lots of gourmet burger places by me, specifically The Works which is pretty good.

>>6840969
>>>6833164, here. I'll see if I can try it.

IKR it's shit tier overpriced Brunch. But they're the original one that started the trend.
Allo mon Coco is God Tier.

La banquise has the best poutine in montreal

>>6841057
REEEEEEEEEE

>>6840832
Our minimum wage is still more than $3 more than The States' so it kind of balances out.

I'm Canadian, and the only place I've been to on that list is Tim Hortons, and even that has gone to shit since BK takeover

>>6840827
>Beaverfails monarchy tier
Kek

Why did Tims have to fuck around with my morning wraps?? It was perfect the way it was, just cheese egg and sausage. Now they added peppers and fucking chipotle sauce ffs in that stupid ass box

>>6841104
just ask them not to add it you sperg, the wraps are 10x better with those ingredients.

Enjoy your shitty 500ml coke cancucks

Isn't that all a bunch of regional shit though? Canada is huge and empty. Also their food costs more than any fast food should, so no they don't have better fast food than the USA.

>>6840948

>>6840827
Mr Sub should be up at least one tier. The one in my home town is fucking supreme.

>>6841143
mr sub is a poor mans subway, and subway is pretty mediocre.

smaller subs, shittier toppings, same price, its a sad scene.
they sometimes have crazy specials because theyre so unpopular however so i have been a few times.

i would go to one over subway if subway was packed because mr sub is always empty so your sub will probably be made better.

>>6840840
>the best fast food places aren't chains
Isn't that true everywhere? I don't think we're special on this one

>>6840875
>best poutine in the province
fucking wat

>>6840827
>puts Shit Hortons in top tiers

Obvious not canadian spotted

>>6840827
You consider Milestones and Montanas to be fast food restaurants? They're chains, but hardly stand in a queue for your food places.

>>6841067
Western Canadian here, after Notley was elected she's raising minimum wage to $15 bucks to compensate for our dollar going down.

Don't go to Boston Pizza or Montanas, they're marketed as 'restaurants' but I've gotten sick every time I've eaten there. NYF makes pretty good poutine and the crepes at Cora are alright.

Restaurants like The Keg and Moxies are GOAT tbh, but very pricey. Just for the love of god DON'T go to Montana's.

>>6841196
Funny.
I've only had good experiences at Montana's in Winnipeg, but I've gotten violently ill every time I've eaten at Moxie's in Winnipeg.

>>6840827

>Swiss Chalet in top tier

How's the weather in Keswick?

>>6841129
>their food costs more than any fast food should

To be fair, our minimum wages range from 10$ to 15$ hourly, whereas the States it never passes 10$, so...to you it's a lot, to us it's whatever.

>>6841295
We don't come close to 15 dollars an hour anywhere in Canada. The highest minimum wage we have is 12.50 an hour and that's in the Northwest Territories, because nobody wants to love there. Most everywhere it's around 11.00 dollars an hour.

>>6841307
>We don't come close to 15 dollars an hour anywhere in Canada

Alberta.

>>6841179
This, timmies is garbage. Their donuts used to be good, but now they're trash. Everything they made is and has always been trash. Especially the fucking coffee

>>6840827
McDonalds hired some new food chemist guy a couple of months ago and their coffee is a shitton better than tim hortons now, as well as being cheaper in price.

>>6841320
I meant everything ELSE they make

>>6841322
it's been better for years now. Every since they started the McCafes, I think

>>6841322
McDonald's has Tim Hortons' old supplier because Tim Hortons didn't want to pay more to renew the contract.


So the reason McDonald's coffee is good now and Tims is crap is because one fucked up while the other seized an opportunity.

Source: DM at Tims, heard the higher ups bitching about it.

>>6841328
>Tim Hortons didn't want to pay more to renew the contract.

not surprising. Timmies simply doesn't care anymore. they rely on their large presence (# of stores) to drive sales, and cut corners at every possibility in order to drive profits up. they even changed their paper cups to flimsier cups a while back in order to save a couple cents.

>>6840827
Yeah sure thing Can cuck

>>6841309
Mimimum wage is 10.20 in Alberta.

What are the best eats in Montreal /ck/? Not some shit that's on every list but what's your actual favorite place?

>>6841362
what neighborhood

>>6841379
Downtown - Around Milton/Parc but I'd appreciate any suggestions since I'm a pleb

Pita Pit is overpriced shit. Harvey's is the only decent burger chain in Canada.

>>6841328
>>6841336
yeah i used to laugh at mcds coffee, now its a better stop 9/10 than tims, they simply cant run on a decent coffee to cover how shitty their food is.

>>6841393
well, have you actually been to Schwartz's, Patati Patata and Romados yet? They're on every list but there's a reason. Same with St-Viateur or Fairmount bagels

There's a tiny indian restaurant on St-Laurent between Rachel and Duluth called chef guru. Order their chicken curry poutine, spicy. It doesn't sound like it would but it works very, very well

>>6841393
Club Super Sexe Cold/Hot Buffet
Lunch Special :
20$ gets you 2 beer + the buffet so you can watch titties while enjoying Canadian cuisine.

>>6841351
NDP (provincial) raising it to 15, also raising corporate tax from 10% to 12%.

RIP Alberta.

>>6841422
>Schwartz's

Oh baby.

Moe's is better.

Bp is shit I hate going there

>>6841444
holy shit, how could i have forgotten this.
ive never been, but everyone i know wont shut up about strip club breakfasts.

>>6841362
Helena on mcgill. Amelia's for italian. very close to parc on milton.

>>6841563
That's a few years off. 2018 is when 15 an hour is supposed to happen. Next month Alberta goes to 11.20. Alberta had a good run. I'll be interested to see how it goes from the sidelines a province over. Small business should take a nasty hit.

>>6841699
>Small business should take a nasty hit

Nope. Almost no people in Alberta are actually paid the minimum wage (and the few that are work in retail). Most people are already paid close to $15.00 an hour, just because that's what's expected there (not just in the oil industry, but most).

So basically small business owners are already paying their employees more than the new minimum will be, even nearing 2018.

>>6841705
In fort Mac, maybe. Places like tim's in Calgary hire at 11.45/hr.

>>6841569
eeeeh, idk about that. The Main used to be alright, but it's expensive and kinda meh now

Québecbros, are we still allowed to smoke in restaurants? I haven't lived in-province for ~ten years, but I'm hoping the anti-smoking crowd hasn't ruined that for us, have they?

>>6841758
Can't smoke in bars anymore, dude. Guess.

>>6841763
Fug. I've been living in Arizona, land of smoke anywhere you want.

Was hoping Québec would still let me smoke indoors places by the time I got back, but I figured not. Don't really get the "no smoking in bars" thing though...you're going in to fuck yourself up anyway, so why is smoking such a terrible addition?

eh dont know, do know this, us fag, glad 'nadians are there Oh Canada. thanks

just wen to st-hubert in montreal, coz ck said its good.
well **** you! 14 bucks down the drain.

>>6841770
You can smoke in restaurants and movie theatres in Arizona?

>>6841770
we were the last bastion in canada for a few years

>>6841800
shoulda went to bennys&co, st huberts is pretty generic. scores is a little bit better too.

>>6841800
St-Hubert is shit.
Best rotisserie chicken is CHalet BBq on Sherbrooke.
Scores is St-Hubert quality for cheaper.
Benny's and Coq-au-Bec are allright big names.

>>6840827
Put Timmie's at the bottom & move Mary Brown's to the top and this list is correct

>>6840827
I worked at a Swiss Chalet in Mississauga for 3 years during high school. It was fucking shit.

tim hortons is shit

>>6841808
I've lived in AZ for 18 years and I've never been to a movie theater or restaurant that allows that.

>>6841884
we're gonna shove so much timmie's up in America's ass, that you'll like it and ask for more.

Any one near Cambridge? Opinions on Fast Eddies?

It's not the greatest quality burger ever made (no even close) but when you have that craving you just gotta get some...

>>6842061
what are crazyfrys and why is it spelled retarded like that

I'd have to agree with you. McDonald's is empirically better here than the shit in Port Huron.Same goes for taco bell. But have the places in your chart aren't even fast food.

Tldr; OP is a faggot.

>>6840827
Where's the Edo on this list??

>>6840897
Pita Pit is the absolute best fast food in Canada

>>6842061
Is Fast Eddies a chain? We used to have one on Vancouver Island but I thought it was a mom and pop type place.

Coffee Time can fuck right off.

Timmys has gone way downhill.

>>6842576
is that mold?

>>6842578
is not that bad tbh

>>6842574
Yeah, but it's a small chain. It's weird that one was in Nanaimo. The rest are in Ontario.

>>6841057
hahaha no

>>6840827
>the pita pit

Jesus christ who designed their logo? It looks like some exec decided to let their 12 year old cousin do it in Paint.

>>6841150

mr sub had a monopoly over subway for so long that subway had to shill for 20 years to get retards to buy their foods after a mascot pedophile finally made mainstream success...

Eh? Never seen a Wimpy's in the UK (or outside Canada), and it takes less than a minute on Google to find out that it is, in fact, Canadian.

>>6840827
What the fuck is a Canada?

>>6840886
>Louis @ SHerbrooke
As a Sherbrooke native, I agree 100%. One of the few things I miss about that place.

>>6843026
They must just have the same name
Wimpy is a british institution

>>6843021
>>6843026
Wimpy's Diner is Canadian.
Wimpy is British.

They are not related, oddly.

Wimpy (UK) was a burger chain set up by Loyn's (who ran cafe's and...made computers) in the 60's. Most of them were sold off to Burger King in the 80's, which is why you don't see many Wimpy's in the UK any more (although some still exist)

>>6843062
Yeah, they're different places (albeit with super similar names).

>>6841407
A&W is better

>>6843072
A&W isn't Canadian, though.

>>6843062
Wimpy is an old Popeye character famous for his love of burgers. It would make sense that there are a few burger joints out there featuring his name.

>>6840827
you're a fucking goof bud. Boston Pizza is fucking based. Definitely top tier, I Cannot think of a better chain restaurant. I'll bang you out and put you in the medical range goof.

>>6841196
>>6841222

Flyover prarie chains. Fuck them all. If you are in a major city go anywhere but montanas, BP, moxies, the keg, or jack astors. If you live where these places are the only options aside from fast food, move.

>>6843017
>mr sub had a monopoly over subway for so long that subway had to shill for 20 years
yeah, and it ended because subway served better food at a better price, suck it cucklord.
>pic related
its your roasted rump

>>6842672
it's actually an american chain. I can't believe how many canadians are unaware of the larger world. I legitimately met people that thought that whole foods was a toronto only grocer...

>>6843575
im in love with east side marios, and its always right beside those places.

>>6843586

This is true. The coffee is undrinkable unless you eat something with it to hide the taste. Everything is oversweetened, and they don't even have fresh donuts. Even when it's right there and I want to eat something I'd rather walk 10 minutes to grab a croissant and a good coffee than to eat their shit.

people only go to timmies because it's literally a meme, it's implanted in their brain that they should go there because everyone else does. Even McD's has better coffee.

fucking 5 dollar grilled cheese? What the fuck?

>>6844023
To be fair the grilled cheese is fucking phenomenal, and if the employees like you they'll load it up with every cheese they have and bacon for free.

>>6842672
pita pit is fucking shit

>>6844023
>people only go to timmies because it's literally a meme
The fact that they're all over the fucking place helps too. When I'm on the road and shit I'd rather go there than at a McDicks or something.

>>6842061
I work beside a Fast Eddie's. They don't ever fucking clean their property, it's disgusting.

Their food is the definition of meh and employees who don't give a shit. Still enjoy the spicy chicken burger or whatever it's called. Walk up window is nice too.

>>6840943
Yeah probably one of the best burgers around but a little small for the price. Its like shake shack in NY with their friend mushroom stuffed with cheese. Id recommend going!

>>6841067

>>6840845
>extreme pita is better than pita pit

I could deck ya right now bud.

I actually ate extreme pita today simply because i read that post. it was unequivocally the worst fast food I have ever eaten in my entire life. Honestly the pita was dry as shit, both the employees were fat as hell, the jerk marianade wasn't even added to the chicken, it was just tossed around in a bowl with the vegetables, the veggies were added on the grill after, they have pre selected toppings so you cant even make your own pita.

Seriously it is like Pita Pit's evil twin. Everything that could be done wrong, was.
