The flavor of chicken strips is pretty comparable at most fast food places, but Popeye's brings that crunch without the strips being 90% breading. Terrible customer service though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captin midnight Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Burger - 5 guys, but I don't consider this fast food. Fast food - Wendys, nothing beats a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger Chicken - Chick Fil A - Spicy Chicken Sandwich is the best Mexian - Taco Johns(not sure if they are still around, but 1 near my hometown in Ohio). 2nd would be Chipotle Subs - Penn Station Pizza - Donatos - More of a Central Ohio thing. Breakfast - White Castle - Best coffee from any fast food establishment and best sandwiches(toast, fresh fried egg, sausage and pepper jack cheese).

Everyone is high and gives out insane portions. If you go in the hour before closing a "3-piece" is code for "as much chicken as we can fit in the box" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a bunch in Iowa, but last time I went it just wasn't nearly the same as it used to be. Even the churro and potato rounds sucked.

beekay414 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Burgers: Big Deal Burgers & Custard - Just a phenomonal burger for a fast food joint. I don't know what I'm going to do when I move this weekend and I'm no longer close. Chicken: Zaxby's or Raising Canes - Really just a tenders place but they do it right. Really dislike that none are in my area or even remotely close. Mexican: Qdoba - Used to be Moe's but, for some reason, their rice is always terrible. Qdoba does a really good quesadilla and you can't go wrong with their burritos. Plus, they don't charge for queso like Moe's. Subs: Firehouse Subs, I guess - Yeah, nothing to really say here. There's not too much difference between Jersey Mike's, Cousins and Firehouse. Ask me tomorrow and I could say any of the three. When I want it delivered, though, you can't beat Jimmy John's. Pizza: Jet's Pizza - Just amazing Detroit style deep dish pizza and they have amazing ranch dressing. Papa John's, Dominos and Pizza Hut all royally suck.

Think i remember you saying you're Canadian. Not sure where in Canada. Toronto for example has some weak fast food options....Popeyes/Mcdonalds etc are all OK at times. We've had Chick Fil A & Jollibees for a while but haven't tried them out yet. But our food scene is amazing overall. So much variety & diversity. The only thing i find lacking is the Mexican food.

But i feel like every time i've had Popeyes, it's just dry as heck. Which may be more "crispy" but it's also really not very good. If you're having Fried Chicken, i feel like you've really just gotta embrace the grease and enjoy KFC for what it is. And order a side of gravy to dip all the fries in, because their fries are otherwise soggy and inedible. Best thing is to just go for the Chicken Tenders from KFC and they usually have a solid crisp to them, and still taste good. Also, i'm allergic to the Cajun Fries at Popeyes. They make my face itch, and i don't like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggie. Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 I'm coming to realizei n the ice cream department, DQ is criminally underrated. There's just a certain magic with an old fashioned Oreo Blizzard that can't be replicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no that’s what I was talking about. The blizzards. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten food either. The ice cream is just too loose for me. And it gets worse real fast.

Then again, I've started just buying vanilla ice cream + Oreos and just mashing the Oreos in until I get the consistency I'm looking for.

Weirdly, they have some of the best Poutine you can get at a major fast food chain. Their burgers are like...if you took a BK or Carl's Jr burger, and then reheated it in the microwave. But hey...sometimes that's okay. Not something i go out of my way to purchase though. Their chicken is super bland and dry. They've got some soft pretzel sticks that come with a queso dip that makes them alright if that's your only option (and some places it is). But yeah. Not really a top-end fast food place for those purposes. 6 hours ago, biggie. said: What, they don't do the whole it upside down to show off the thickness?

There's clearly some sorts of artificial thickeners going on with Blizzards or something. Honestly, i don't really care for them most of the time. But when i do decide to get one...they have an unnaturally steep thawing curve. They go from "too thick" to "mostly liquid" way more quickly than they naturally should. I just get myself a cookie dough one to combat that. Even when it deteriorates to liquid state, it still has those nice cookie dough chunks i can spoon in with the liquid to give me a little bit of texture and chew.
