Arby's has extremely bad quality control.

I grew up in their testing marketing and half of the chains basically had free domain over the menu and could try anything they wanted. Pretty much all have delicious rotisserie chicken, the roast beef and sandwiches are noticeably different and better, and one even serves beer. I grew up thinking they were pretty much the ideal fast food chain of the time

Then I tried it in other states. It ranged from mediocre to actually pretty gross. Some stuff remained the same in taste, but the roast beef products definitely got worse the farther from home I got

If your grandma was a good cook you might find foodservice tier versions of the dishes she used to make unpleasant. The menu is full of classic rural American fare, and the allure is most folks don't cook like that today. But if you were lucky enough to have someone in your life who did everything at CB might taste cheap and half-assed.

Boring, bland, food. It's what I would expect from a cafeteria or from some midwestern flyover family that doesn't cook very well. I don't understand what's appealing about it at all.

>ordinary day-to-day food.
From another time. This was day to day food for my grandma's generation. People stopped cooking like that because it took hours and they didn't need meals that heavy because they no longer worked on a farm. What CB is selling is nostalgia for a time when that was day to day food. Of course back then what your mom or grandmother cooked was way better than what they serve at CB.

They served me without a qualm despite my babbling and slurring and the only thing the waitress found strange was that I wanted hash browns with my burger instead of fries.

It was greasy as fuck but so awesome.

I went to one in a similar state in Tokyo and to my disappointment all they had on the menu was hamburger patties in a bowl of gravy. After sitting there for 10 minutes without the waitress coming over to me I got up and left.

Golden Corral is pretty great, the one near me has a chocolate fountain and a cotton candy machine and a drink machine with aguas frescas like horchata and jamaica. I try to stay away from all of that shit but it's neat to have access to it should I ever feel like abusing myself.

I used to go to Ryan's quite a bit but every one that I know of closed.

I noticed while driving past Arby's today that they have gyros on the menu now. Are they any good? Closest place I can get a good gyro is like a 40 minute drive.

They deep fry your food (fries, wings, etc) to order. Sandwiches suck. Nachos and salad average. Their own proprietary stuff isn't anything to write home about. Could go worse for a gas station food.

Central virginia? The restaurants there are owned by some guy in Richmond and are way different than any outside this area.

This is probably my favorite chain. I could eat there every day and not get tired of it.

Fazolis is expensive as FUCK for what you get. Honestly probably the worst value in town in my opinion. That said I love their food. Their breadsticks are great and they will always have a special place in my heart for being a place where you can get cheesecake in the drive through.

The wings and burgers are fried/cooked there. Only frozen stuff is most of the sides.

I like them. They're not amazing by far but I found the traditional gyro they serve to be good enough to order again.

This. Steak and eggs w/ smothered & covered hash browns. Always a blast too. Everyone in the joint is always just drunk, chilling, shooting the shit playing tunes on the jukebox. Employees and customers alike.

Not that guy, but to me, it still tastes like Tyson's but for twice the price.
