Peak fast food.
I honestly don't get why people go anywhere else.

the checkers near my house is shit. it's also staffed by teenage minorities. i remember checkers being really good as a kid though, i dunno if they changed like kfc.

incidentally i had sonic for the first time in a while, probably a decade, since a franchise opened up near me. i didnt know what to order so i went with 2 double cheeseburgers and some popcorn chicken. it was definitely better than checkers.

i would go to wendy's but it's in the black part of town.

never been. We don't have these around here. What's the price range on the food here? I'm assuming it's a bit more than mcdonalds but hopefully it's cheaper than five guys.

The local Checkers is my favorite spot, they always hook me up, never skimped on the food. I love the Spicy Chicken sandiwches and fries.

>>11562907
I'd say it's around the same range as a McDonalds, you can get a decent meal with a fiver, and they always have some cheaply priced value items

It's cheaper than mcd's. Greaseball drunk food, only good if you grew up near one. I did and fuckin love em.

cheaper than mcdicks. they're on par with places like white castle. only really good when you're drunk/stoned. but they're open late as fuck and cheap as fuck so it's fucking perfect.
I used to get like 4 of those $2 chicken and fry boxes on my way home from the bar and chow down at like 3am.

out of the four mainstream fast food joints that are in the area, I've always thought that rallys beef tastes best. come to find out
EVERYTHING else does too is just a bonus
and they sell real chicken wings and fried cheese!
It's a shame the closed locations rather than expand in my area.
maybe the lack of a dining room has something to do with it

There are a bunch of locations where I live in Michigan, got two close enough to my house

Attention:
They sell an oven-cooked version of their fries.
The taste is 1:1.

Cook 11 minutes at 425, shuffle them around, then another 12-13 minutes.
It's perfect.

I have the pleasure of working right by a rallys. They have the best value menu out of any fast food joint (except maybe taco bell)
I miss the old bacon roadhouse burger they had with the texas toast bread. Shit was legit.

when I was younger, they opened 3 in the county I lived in, the closest one lasted 8 years maybe, the next closest closed a couple years after that and the one left is not an option unless I'm doing business in the area.
they are doing daily coupons now if you sign up for the email mumbo jumbo they have. dollar fries to free cheese stick and all kinds of deals. I think they are doing it daily until christmas. todays was small baconzilla combo for 5 dollars

Because the food at other places doesn't leave me feeling like I've been eating from a trash can.

Rally's is shit even for fast food. Might as well just get convenience store food; same quality and price.

>> No.11564813

pre-Checkers merger Rally's started in my city so we have a ton of them. They're usually staffed with the worst of the worst relative to other fast food places around here, but it doesn't matter as it's hard to fuck up that kind of slop. Their fries are god tier but seem to be 50% sodium by weight so they can be hard on your system.

Fuck everybody who thinks convenience store and gas station food tastes like anything but garbage. It will never be on par with fast food
