The Angus cheeseburger was the best item they've ever had. Chicken selects are #2 in my heart although #3 is regular nuggets (which I liked more with dark meat) with sweet-n-sour. The texture is gross but it tastes nice.

I ordered a double Angus 1/3 lb cheeseburger + mac sauce and that was pretty great. I wish they still offered them, even at a premium price.
