Subway

Just posted it

does ihop count?

>>216493270
Mine is Popeye because we don't have Chick-fil-A yet. You can't suffer.

>>216493254 (OP)
Dennys or Carls jr

>>216493254 (OP)
That or Freddies or Culvers ig

Americans CAN'T suffer

>>216493296
Seconding Denny’s, love that place. Peak comfy.

I don't like fast food. If you want restaurant food why would you choose the lowest quality food imaginable? I prefer food from small businesses and local chains.

>>216493311
mine is open 24 hours too, yay

Captain D's and Bojangles are the only drive-thrus I still eat from sometimes. It's all so bad and overpriced. Chic-fil-a still has white kids working there so at least it's prepared right, but it's just bland, even as a kid I thought it was overrated.

What do Americans think of Jollibee, White Castle and Wendy's?

>>216493254 (OP)
im vegetarian but first thing im eating when i get off of it is chic fil a chicken sandwich

>>216493254 (OP)
There's a new one like 3 minutes away from my house. It has a 2 lane drive-thru, I think it's the first slop place in the island with it. At rush hour the qt3.14s come with their tablets to your car to take your order and the lines go down surprisingly fast. It definitely has the best customer service in its category.

>>216493395
Idk what jollibe is, White Castle sucks, Wendy’s is alright

>>216493515
Sorry I just learned that Jollibee is a Philippine restaurant lol
>White Castle sucks
Really?

Popeye's

>>216493395
Jolibee is extremely overrated by Filipinos because it’s their country’s only relevant cultural export.
White Castle is horrible. Everything is just reheated frozen slop. I have no idea how they’re still around.

>>216493395
>>216493661
I forgot Wendy’s. Honestly, it’s better than Burger King or McDonalds. I got their version of a double cheeseburger a couple weeks ago when I was driving somewhere and stopped for lunch and it was the best fast food hamburger I’ve had it years. Like any fast food place the quality is going to fluctuate drastically from place to place.

>>216493254 (OP)
Anyone who says anything other than McDonalds or Taco Bell is kinda larping

>>216493254 (OP)
I don't have one. It's all too expensive now and I really only went to the cheapest ones back in the 2000s and 2010s so I haven't ever tried very many.
Now I just stay fat off of sandwiches and frozen dumplings at home.

>>216493661
>>216493713
So Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle was just a big publicity stunt?
>>216493770
I don't know, you eventually get tired of McDonald's.

>>216493395
We probably only have Jollibee in large cities, never seen one. I think it's common in the UK though.

>>216493770
disgusting fatass award

>>216493827
>I don't know, you eventually get tired of McDonald's.
Then you go to Taco Bell

Fuck man I'll get you some chick fila from the airport next time I go to brazil. Goddamn you love chick fila.

Do you prefer the strips or the sandwich?

Get a Grand Slam at Denny’s for $7

I couldn't force myself to watch that movie I got like 15 minutes in

>>216493395
>Wendy's
Good shakes, decent burgers, decent fries, baconator is fantastic
>White Castle
Incredibly disappointing when I got to try it. Extremely mid.
>Jollibee
Honestly I like it better than Churches or Popeyes. I really, really like their spicy chickenjoy. I think flavor wise Popeyes is better but Popeyes quality is all over the god damn place. You never know if your getting yesterday's chicken or not.

>>216493827
White Castle is basically seen by most Americans as a step down from McDonalds for these reasons:
>Cheaper
>Smaller (because sliders)
>Dirtier (don't know if applies now but they used to not clean the place very much compared to McDonald's)
So hence people associate going there with being high or whatever
Also personally never been because I don't like onions which is the main thing they put on their burgers

>>216493860
The sandwich. Surprise me.
>>216493894
That movie was really good when I was a kid but I bet it would suck watching today.
I just thought White Castle was a beloved chain because of that movie.

>>216493313
You can't just not post the video.

>>216493928
>Smaller
Isn´t it their gimmick?

>>216493931
I didn't watch it when I was a kid but I suspected it was funded by the chain
Still don't know if that's true
It's a very old chain here just not very well regarded lol

>>216493908
>>216493928
What about Arby's? Is it true they are hated?

>>216493956
Yeah
But I think so was wimpy burger and I don't think they exist anymore
McDonalds was so cheap and good from 80s to 10s that they drove a lot of competitors into bankruptcy or irrelevance, before suddenly becoming expensive

>>216493861
>$7
The game has changed
>>216493296
>>216493311
If it doesn't have a drive thru it's not real fast food.

>>216493254 (OP)
In N Out

>>216493991
Never been there I've heard it's fine
I think vegans just seethe really loud about them but not sure

>>216493254 (OP)
My favorite is probably raising Cane's. If you include small Texas chains, Griff's hamburgers.

>>216493991
Yeah I really don't know how they're still around. I like their chicken bacon ranch market fresh sandwich and their gyros. I go there once every couple months or so. There's never anyone else in line at the drive thru.
We used to buy a bag of 5 of their roast beef cheddar sandwiches for $5 when I was a kid. They were big ass sandwiches. I had 4 siblings so there wasn't really a cheaper way to get that much protein and fat in our diet.

>>216493254 (OP)
Burger king

Only know that and McDonald's. KFC is boring

>>216493326
Hipster fuck

>>216493395
>Jolibees
Never been to one. I think they’re only in California o algo. Basically Flip sloppa
>White Castle
They kind of all died out 10-15 years ago. The only ones still around are in podunk towns

Sadly the only fast food restaurant that I feel actually improved over the years is McDonalds. Some fast food joints have deteriorated to the extent that I don’t even feel safe eating their food (e.g., Subway replacing their coworkers with Jeets)

Harvey's and A&W

culvers
fast food is so expensive now though

>>216493254 (OP)
Domino's pizza.

>>216493770
Mcdonalds is trash. Taco Bell has decent prices and i like the sauce but otherwise its kind of mediocre
>>216493254 (OP)
Culvers is probably my favorite
Jack in the box is good bang for your buck
when i lived in the south-west El Pollo Loco was my favorite, but thats more of a regional chain

>>216493991
Arby's has become one of the most monstrously overpriced chains in recent times. Their sandwiches are good but, fucking lord man, don't ask $10+ for one.

>>216493254 (OP)
all of it. i'm a slut for fast food

>>216493254 (OP)
I may have been a nigga in my previous life but KFC has an almost magical appeal to me. A big ol' bukkit of chikkin? Yum.

>>216493292
popeyes sandwiches are better than chicfila

>>216495907
McDonalds is the exact same quality as the three you listed thoughbeit.

>>216493395
>white castle
shit
>wendys
shit but used to be okay
>jolibee
never had it but i've had filipino food before and I was not impressed

>>216493254 (OP)
1. in n out
2. chick fil a
>>216493287
explain how a restaurant with table service is fast food

>>216496025
Not really
Mcdonalds is a thin tasteless patty, and yet it's still like $4 for a mcdouble. That's overpriced given how trashy it is.
The quality of the food at culvers is much higher

>>216493254 (OP)
i like Soulmans if it counts (has a drive thru)

>>216496059
McDonald's: thin tasteless patty, $4
Culvers: thin tasteless patty, $8
Jack in the Box: thin tasteless patty, $8
El Pollo Loco: tasteless bits of meat with some variety of flatbread and a salad, $12

>>216493254 (OP)
KFC

>>216493260
They used to be good 20 years ago. Now they have fake soy-protein infused meat.

jack in the box

>>216496059
>and yet it's still like $4 for a mcdouble.

its been 2 dub cheese for $3 the past year

>>216494799
the best is undoubtedly A&W in canada, american A&W is a different company and it sucks down there

Popeyes is my favorite, I love the spicy chicken and cajun fries.
McDonalds is OK, but I really like their breakfast menu.
I'm surprised I haven't anyone mention Sonic. They have great burgers.
I don't eat fast food often because I don't really live near any fast food restaurants. My small town used to have a Burger King, but now it's a church. I heard they even have drive-thru communion.

>>216496155
>El Pollo Loco: tasteless bits of meat with some variety of flatbread and a salad, $12
Idk what store you're going to but the one i'd go to i get a pretty big burrito and the chicken tasted pretty decently high quality to me. whereas McDonalds chicken is basically bottom of the barrel sewage-tier
>Culvers: thin tasteless patty, $8
Culvers is leagues better than McDonalds it's not even a comparison

My girlfriend said she just had Five Guys but we don't live in America

>>216497021
> i get a pretty big burrito
Tasteless bits of meat in a flatbread variety for $10
>Culvers is leagues better than McDonalds it's not even a comparison
Yeah it's $4 more and you get the placebo effect of $4 extra dollars for your slop burger. If you want Culvers at McDonalds you can get the Quarter Pounder. $8 is $8 and slop is slop

>>216496991
>My small town used to have a Burger King, but now it's a church. I heard they even have drive-thru communion.
doesn't get more american than that

Taco Bell can feed me for the day with $5. I prefer Little Caesar's though.

>>216493254 (OP)
The only "good" slop-thru joint is the one that's there when you're on day three of a road trip and the place you're staying at is still six hours of driving away

I went to america once as a kid and don't remember it. I guess mcdonalds here is okay, I don't go to many other places.
I will say when I went to london I went to five guys a few times and I loved that shit. I'd go there all the time if they had one here.

american fast food is fucking incredible

>>216498308
>I will say when I went to london I went to five guys a few times and I loved that shit. I'd go there all the time if they had one here.
no you wouldnt, five guys is insanely expensive, nobody can afford to go there all the time lmao. it is good tho

>>216493254 (OP)
unironically mcdonalds, double qps are great. not that there's much competition. burger king kinda sucks and taco bell is the worst restaurant I have ever been to.

>>216493254 (OP)
Word has it theyre making a comeback. Futures bright .. lambright
