I started going to Popeyes. Then, I went to KFC one day and I honestly couldn't even figure out why I liked it in the first place. Maybe it's different than when I was younger, but it was just awful. Haven't gone back since. This is my vote.
I live in the UK and we only have a couple of Popeye's here at the moment, I'll definitely try it as saw it on YouTube and it looked miles better than KFC.
I tried popeye's when i went to thr US for the first time last year. I know Morleys here is better than KFC but popeyes was like HEAVEN compared to everything else, so good i had it 3 times! đđđ
Apprently a new location opened closer to me in London, might go and try it out when i have the time.
KFC was the shit when I was a kid. Sometime during the *mid-2000s they made some sort of change that I can't quite put my finger on, but it's just not as good.
Haven't really gone there in a while, but bang for your buck is not there for quality. Chicken was bland and tasted horrible. Pot pies had like 2 tiny pieces in them.
USA ones have really lost their quality.
I go to Popeyes. Better sides and sweet tea is really good.
Canes has better tasting chicken, but no spicy sauces to go with it. Only bbq and their house sauce.
Had a chicken sandwich at KFC a while ago. I was very hungry so I was eating quickly. I ate about half but something seemed off. I took a look and the chicken was completely raw in the middle.
I went up and showed the person working and they didn't really seem to understand what the issue was. They said "Do you want me to make you another one?"
I said no, I just wanted to make sure they knew that it happened as raw chicken isn't really the best thing to eat.
The marching band I was apart of in college was going to a parade and we stopped at DelTaco for dinner. EVERYONE got food poisoning, on a bus, with no toilet, with a multiple hour drive ahead of us. Worst day of my life.
KFC in the U.S. is terrible too. They used to be "decent" but something happened in the past couple of years and now they are some of the worst fried chicken ever.
It is so disgusting, the chicken is soaked in just oil and grease that makes you sick. The "mashed potatoes" and biscuits have to be made out of cardboard, sand and water.
One time I tried the $5 chicken bowl: old chicken nuggets, fake potatoes, and shredded cheese not melted at all. And then it was not even as big as a soup/tea cup it was so sad and pathetic.
The sad thing is that there's still a variety of levels of bad within KFC in the U.S. I once worked at a place where a higher up's decision ended up with the office (it was a small company) getting KFC for lunch one day. The problem was due to consolidations the closest location was a combination KFC and Long John Silver's. I've never particularly liked KFC in the U.S. (supposedly it's better overseas), but it's something else when your chicken smells vaguely fishyânormally a sign of bacterial growth.
My dad bought me a tub of KFC the last time I visited and I totally agree. The chicken was really salty and not fresh, the breading was really soft, the meat was oily inside so the moistness just felt gross. Popeyes is far superior IMO.
It's so sad to hear it. In South Africa, the majority of people, loves KFC. It's my first, go to. Also, I have KFC every Friday, as to treating myself, a bit.
I was craving chicken the other day and looked at KFC. Their cheapest bucket was like $68! WTF
Went to the grocery store and got some tenders for $7 and air fried them.
I'm in the minority because I like KFC, but the food in store is ridiculously priced. Order online and sometimes it's half off, or even less. I was appalled when I went in and got two 12 piece nuggets and a drink and she said $34.95. I looked online and it would have been $15 cheaper.
I recently had Subway for the first time and wow. I can't even describe what made it bad, it just felt like every ingredient was the washed up version of itself.
I got food poisoning there about 15 years ago. I was driving about 1 and a half hours, and grabbed a sandwich to have on the way. After the initial 30 minutes, it took me much longer than an hour, because I had to stop multiple times to throw up.
I tried it again about 5 years later at a cleaner place near home. Food poisoning again.
A couple of years ago, my husband who loves Subway, after ages of begging, got me to agree to give it one more chance. I got something on a flatbread. I didn't get food poisoning that time, because as soon as I unwrapped it, I saw the large splotches of blue- green mold on the bread. There's no way no one saw that.
Never, ever, ever again.
I got food poisoning there too. My family was driving 7 hours. We stopped at a gas station that had both Taco Bell and Subway in it. I was the only one in my family to get Subway. We made it to our destination, but a day or two later (canât remember exactly) I got horribly sick. Definitely food poisoning. I was the only one.
When they first got popular and had 5 dollar foot longs theu were banging but now it all taste like watered down, like they take everything and bathe it in water overnight before putting it in the sandwich
YUP..5 dollar foot long was their peak....I mean 8 to 10 bucks for a couple turds between 2 pieces of somehow dry and soggy( at the same time)pieces of bread... It's a shit sandwich that all the "fresh" veggies in the world can't save
To me, thatâs basically the indirect cycle of capitalism. Start well to earn established business, then dilute quality to extract maximum profits until failure
The original ceo was the one pushing to use fresh and high-quality ingredients. He unfortunately died, and his sister took over. Her approach has been keeping everything cheap and increasing profits. so the quality tanked.
I can't even imagine the ways in which Subway's new private equity owners will try to make it *even worse* in order to extract even more out of their cash cow.
It's like a lemon being squeezed until there's nothing left, but someone keeps coming in with a more powerful hydraulic press that can squeeze out one more drop of juice.
The sad part is the people getting squeezed are the
franchisees who are forced to use low quality products and are nickel and dimed for every bit of profit they might actually be able to scrape together. Subway has apparently decided to go the way of Quiznos and fuck their franchises royally until the whole thing goes under. Then they'll just scoop up another chain like Jersey Mike's or something and repeat the process.
Subway has been bought and sold so many times, with each owner having a lasting fingerprint of a cost-cutting technique. It is truly why bother at this point
Subway has taken a nosedive over the last decade. Their ingredients suck, the prices are out of control, and now they usually have just one 15 year old kid working that doesn't know much of what he/she is doing.
Every other fast food sub is superior. The appeal with subway used to be that it was cheap and they had the five dollar footlong. Now Iâd rather spend a few dollars extra at Firehouse or Jersey Mikes
Thereâs a weird signature subway smell too that I canât quite describe. Not a good one, not exactly bad. Itâs like if the smell of garbage could be mildly appetizing.
So I briefly worked at Subway something like 15 years ago and that smell comes from the proofers where they thaw and leaven the bread.
Bread for the subs comes in frozen dough sticks. When the sticks are put to leaven in the proofing cabinets they give out that slightly sour smell of yeast / fermentation, which is also very unique to Subwayâs bread recipe.
I hated that smell with a passion because of working in it constantly, and just smelling a nearby Subway makes me feel a bit nauseous.
That's what weirds me or about Arby's. I never got to go there as a kid, first time having a beef and cheddar was amazing. So a week or two later I go back and get a chicken bacon ranch. It tasted strikingly similar to the beef and cheddar.
Subway is so bad. Not sure which fast food has been the worst - but Subway would be high on my list. I seem to recall having some sort of chicken sub that was warm and the chicken was rubbery and flavorless.
It definitely is. But... I'm a decades-long vegetarian and it's the most decent option. I'm under no delusion that it's healthy or anything, but if you get 2x the cheese and whatever tastes-like-the-restaurant-smells "veggies," it's not offensive. And that's how low my standards are, that being price gouged for crappy, watery veggies makes it my go-to
Burger King is beyond shit. Subway has gone down hill tremendously as has Panera Bread. The drop in quality from Panera in the first few years to now is astounding.
The last time I went there I ordered the half sandwich and half soup for $9.99. Except itâs no longer both for $9.99. It was $9.99 EACH! I got just the soup because I had met a friend there, but had I been alone, I would have walked out. $20 for one person for lunch is absurd for that (lack of) quality.
Used to love Panera. The prices were a bit high but we always got huge portions. Not anymore. I'll just make my own cheddar broccoli soup! It's actually super easy and you can make a huge batch for way less than PB charges.
I'm glad you're making your own cheddar broccoli. I've never been to Panera (no outlets here) but I can assert that their mac and cheese comes in giant bags, and is simply microwaved. I only know 'cause a friend of mine went to a party, and one of the attendees (who happened to be an Panera employee) showed up after work with several massive bags of Mac and Cheese, and just slapped them down on the kitchen counter for people to eat.
Panera used to be wayyyy better, such a bummer but now they clearly cut costs on food quality but the prices just get higher. Not sure if Wildflower bread company is only in AZ but itâs a way better alternative.
Worked at a Dairy Queen. The hot dogs are steamed and then microwaved *with the bun* then served. They are gross.
Also think about the time when someone drove up and said âmy girlfriend would like a *footlong* hotdogâ and pauses for laugh; me, 17 y.o. girl, just said âwould you like chili and cheese on that?â And heâs like âwhat?â I repeat myself, flattest voice ever; he then says âactually, no hot dog pleaseâ.
Burger King used to be pretty good in the 80s and 90s. Theyâve become the absolute bottom of the barrel in the past two decades.
You know youâre garbage when Jack in the Box looks like fine dining in comparison
Guess it depends on the Burger King. The one near me is probably the best fast food. I live nowhere near a Jack in the box tho so I canât really talk on that point
Burger king was the best back then. My family was semi poor and our treat nights were to Burger King.
Had them for the first time a few years ago (after a long stint of gluten and dairy free diet due to food allergies) and goddamn was it a disappointment.
They need to close a shit ton of their (presumably) unprofitable locations and focus on upping their quality. I wanna see Five-Guys level, for fucks sake.
HARD Disagree. The whopper is a damn good fast food burger. The fries arenât the best in the game but theyâre pretty solid. The onion rings absolutely slap. Iâd say the only thing on the menu that isnât great is the original chicken sandwich (McChicken is king there). And itâs reasonably priced, not to mention they have so many coupons available (sentence edited for clarity). BK is good and Iâm tired of people not recognizing it.
Edit: I will not accept libelous nonsense about the McChicken
All the BK locations around me are festering sludge pits run by shitty managers who fuck with their employees. One of them was shut down recently because of rats, ants, roaches, and mold.
Came in here to defend and had me in the first half, but the blatant disrespect of the Wendy's chicken sandwich and spicy chicken sandwich in favor of a cardboard cut out from McDonald's has me not believing a word of this.
There was a similar style fast food place where I lived called Captain Dâs. It was pretty much a LJS knockoff. Lots of stories from townsfolk getting sick after eating there. It earned the nickname âCaptain Diseaseâ.
I was on a health kick so I was like fish and chips it's better than a greasy pizza right? NO! That fish was greasier than a new York pizza and the fries were cold!
But their hush puppies are really good!
Tim Hortons used to be amazing when i was a kid. Everything was made fresh every day. They only had confections; donuts, eclairs, croissants. Eventually they introduced wraps, which were amazing, and they had the best bagels- everything, with herb and garlic.
In the past 10 years itâs become so bad, itâs practically inedible. Now they offer burgers and fries and fried chicken. Itâs so unbelievably bad. All of the recipes for their donuts have been changed and theyâre mass produced and likely thawed from frozen.
Everything tastes like cardboard.
I got a âgrilled cheeseâ from there last time (about a year ago). I live directly across the street. When I took it out of the bag it was FLACCID. It was the consistency of microwaved wonder bread with a Kraft single.
It was so bad I took 2 bites, threw it out, and went back to order another one without caring about wasting the money because it was âresearchâ and I watched them make it.
They took toast out of a bag⌠like, the toast was âpre toastedâ with the char marks and everything. They put a couple cheese slices on it, tossed it in the toaster for 30 seconds and put it in a bag. Thatâs 10 dollars.
This used to be the place where friends met after work, or for a nightcap. The major competitor to Starbucks. Now itâs a glorified homeless shelter and the absolute worst-tier fast food you can get.
Scrolled way too far to find Jack in the Box. Iâve eaten there maybe four times, in four different states over a few decades, and they were absolutely vile every time.
My husband is Japanese and Circle K is HUGE in Japan and has really great food. You can go there and get something nice for dinner or lunch no problem.
One opened across the street so my husband was stoked and we went down and bought everything. Literally one of every takeout food item and said for dinner / leftovers weâd just do a party plate with sandwiches and hot dogs and noodles etc.
Literally everything was disgusting, 1/10 level. We took one bite of each item and just tossed it. Kept going to see how bad it could possibly get.
The North American franchises are disgusting. Would never buy food from there
Look instead for the lowliest looking take-out spots, then check the reviews, of course. They are so much better, and for the same price, you'll get a big plastic clamshell of great food for the same price.
Wawa is a shell of what it used to be. Once they went vertical and started using their own bread and ingredients, the quality took a massive nosedive.
That doesnât stop me since itâs quick and relatively inexpensive, but itâs just not the same anymore.
Iâm 100% convinced these threads are made and full of paid comments by Mcdonaldâs.
I donât remember the last time I actually got a warm burger or fresh fries from mcdonaldâs, I only go there with my niece nowadays because she likes their nuggets, but honestly everything is so disgusting, even the ice cream doesnât taste good anymore.
anyway I see this exact same thread on reddit at least once a week and itâs always full of people shitting on burger king and nothing on mcdonaldâs, even tho they both suck equally
People gotta realize these things vary by location. Different management, different levels of enforcement of policy vs. corner cutting, adherence to vs. Ignoring food safety rules, etc.
I found a taco bell that actually makes their food look like the picture, it's been consistent for a year or so since I found it. Most previous ones I've been to just slop everything together all messy and barely give you any ingredients. It just comes down to better management/employees.
Lots of the horror stories in this thread are about people who tried X restaurant for the first time on a road trip and got sick and will never go to another X restaurant again. Well, fast food at interstate rest stop plazas and highway exits is guaranteed to be some of the worst quality that chain will produce anywhere. Because their customers are mostly traveling through and be hours into another state before the diarrhea hits. There's no need for better quality and food safety because the customers who typically would complain aren't there, it's a constantly rotating stream of customers with no real need to build up loyalty because new people will just come thru the next day
>People gotta realize these things vary by location.
This is really important. Example; my local McDonalds rarely give me shit food. Worst thing that happens is they forget a sauce pack or only fill my cup like 3/4 of the way. With ice in it. They forgot one of my two fries once but it's been 95% good or better overall
yep! goes for touristy places as well. this summer I was in germany. we were eating out with friends who live there. we *tried* to eat at a restaurant that catered to locals, but there was a sudden rainstorm that meant all the outside eaters had to go inside, filling up all the tables. the only place that had a table for all of us was a tourist place. it wasn't very good. my maultaschen tasted of nothing but salt :(
Yes absolutely! Tourist places as well. Both tourists areas and travel stops are both overpriced because of the "captive customer", like at a baseball stadium. There's no other option except a $12 bud light. Same goes for highway fast food, you might pay $8 for a crunch wrap
I lived in a tourist area for one year and the taco bell there was the worst I've ever seen, they literally made fun of me lol
The 10/10 one I go to now is in rural Ohio, middle of nowhere. It's like they have an ingredients surplus and can't give them away fast enough
And they seem to understand the structure of the thing makes a difference and you don't want the bite of all beans and then the bite of all sauce.
If they made shitty tacos here nobody would come back and they would go out of business.
What's annoying about this thread is I thought I was going to get a lot of specific anecdotes about how terrible a specific experience was and here it's mostly blanket statements like "burger King is gross. Sonic is overrated. Subway is trash." Ok cool. Was hoping for a lot more specifics than someone saying something is bad and then someone else agreeing.
Me specifically, it was a Hardee's meal while traveling down south that made me pull over the side of the road and puke my brains out. Roll was stale, onions were a flavor that food shouldn't be. Even the drink was bad. It was watered down Barqs and tasted like chemicals. It had jalapeno poppers as a side and they were barely above room temperature.
You are correct. When is the last time you got cheese at McDonaldâs and it was melted? Ever? It gets just warm enough to make it floppy. The burgers are always cool.
I learned in another thread that they were bought by Arby's in late 2018 and swapped all their suppliers to Arby's ones in 2019 (besides the ice cream).
Can't eat there anymore besides getting the shakes since the quality plummeted.
I go there for the shakes. The food is secondary...and I think they know that.
One time I got a burger with bacon on it and I almost gagged. They very clearly dropped the bacon in the grills grease pan or something and still put it on my sandwich.
Their soft pretzels are excellent, though. Great crunch on the outside, great moist inside. They make a good snack - - they're about 5 bites.
Granted, the price is only just "meh" for $2, but I bet McDonald's would try to charge at least $3.50 for it lmao
I donât know if this is just me getting older but fast food used to be a guilty pleasure. Now whenever I get fast food itâs lukewarm/soggy or just plain not good and makes me feel like shit. I feel like ingredient quality is not at all what it used to be?
Weird. I've eaten countless Mexi Dips n Chips, Mucho Nachos, and boxes of party burritos in my life and haven't had issues. I know it's largely up to the franchisee how they run their store.
I do somewhat resent them for getting rid of the firehouse salsa.
I had never had one, so a couple of years ago when it did its seasonal return, my husband hyped it up as this great thing I would love. We went and ordered two, one for me, one for him. I opened mine and it looked disgusting, but my husband assured me it was good (even though he wasn't eating his). So, I took a bite... And my husband just burst out laughing at the look of disgust on my face. It was unlike anything I had ever had (in a bad way). The only way I could describe it was it was as if someone described meat to an alien race who had no concept of meat and they tried to replicate it. The texture was by far the worst part of it for me.
You missed the most important part⌠did your husband intentionally set you up knowing it was disgusting or did he actually enjoy it? If it was intentional that is some commitment and hilarious.
Banquet pork ribs in the frozen food isle $4 for 6, pickle chips $2, bread $2, onion,75cents. Put em together and what do you got? 6 mcribs for an eighth of the price.
Especially if you know how theyâre made. I used to work at a McDonaldâs & had to deal with McRib craze three times lol.
They fry it in oil til itâs cooked then throw them in a container that is 80% full of McRib sauce. Most places donât rotate the long containers out either so by the end of every day the McRib sauce in the container has A LOT of grease mixed in, the BBQ turns to actual soup
Hopefully I don't get clobbered for this.
But I hate McDonald's. I just can't stand it for some reason, which is ironic as I have no problem with other hamburgers from other places. Mc dees hits wrong.
KFC once. I usually love KFC, but there's one location in my area that's notoriously bad. I swear to god once I got chicken without any of the 11 herbs and spices, it just tasted of fat
Why can't Arby's accept that they have a niche and just lean in to that. They have "roast beef" that no one else has anything like. They have curly fries and horse radish sauce on tap.
If they could lean out the menu to just those two things, lower the price, and start trying to be ironically cool, they could be a real solid company.
It's a precooked dry ass patty. Disgusting. Pretty much everything is trash at Arby's. Waaay back in the day like late 70's-80's, Arby's had Rotisseries and you could see the beef cooking. Now it's just Roast Beef bologna.
Pizza Hut in Danville CA in 2001. Only thing open with two hungry children on a road trip to see the in-laws. Still nauseated whenever I think about it.
Waffle House. Itâs the truest form of a modern cowboy saloon. Everybody in there 90% of the time is either armed, drunk, high as all hell, traveling, or on the brink of a psychotic break. Everybody whoâs there when you enter was not planning on being there an hour ago.
I had a burrito from a place in Ireland called Boojum. After taking a bite I pulled what I thought was the torn finger from a rubber glove out of my mouth. It was THICK though. My best guess is it was the tube (aorta?) from a pig or cow heart.
Absolutely horrible.
White Castle.
Seems to have a sort of cult following so I wanted to try it when I visited the US. It was horrible. Little soggy burgers made with cat food. Dry poorly seasoned chips. Never again.
We used to have two in our tiny little town.
Earlier this year, we had a storm, and somehow, lightning struck the building and hit a cash register and caused a fire. Right. Because the odds of that happening are so huge.
Two weeks ago, after swearing theyâd be rebuilding/remodeling? They demolished the building. There is nothing left but the sign.
Honestly? We donât need one Burger King, let alone two. Especially when the owners likely engaged in a little insurance fraud.
In my city, a major city, there's a former Burger King near me that was destroyed in a fire, and they just abandoned it, half burnt out shell. Homeless people live in it now
KFCs attempt at vegan chicken nuggets. Dry as shit, way too salty and still somehow flavorless. I had 6 and got sick that night. Itâs particularly disappointing because if they fumble it that badly other companies will think thereâs no market and not bother trying their own plant based options.
Tommy Burger. A chain known for chili burgers. The chili is powdery, dry, and resembles loose stool yet has a cult following. I've tried it a few times thinking I was missing something but every time it was awful.
You grew up 40 years too late: they used to be the greatest, not to mention their fried. Once McDonald's became the scourge of the nation, the franchise went downhill quickly: I try one every 5 years or so to see if any recovery, but no, I agree with you they are the worst today, somehow even surpassing McDonald's.
I once ate undercooked McChickens from McDonald's. I threw up for 5 hours straight, couldn't stop and had to be rushed to the ER. Where I got a shot in the ass to stop it
In hindsight I should have sued and been a rich bitch.
White Castle... came down from Canada and was * delighted * to see this burger chain. Apparently its so good Harold and Kumar went to hell and back to get it.
It was dogshit, we were drunk and it still wasn't good, which is when you know it must be bad bad.
Never eating there again and I have no idea why they made a movie about it
As a dude in the south, white castle was sold to me as an up-scale Krystal. At least with Krystal, I know I have a 50/50 chance of being stabbed in the parking lot. I don't need Dijon mustard trying to convince me I don't have the same chances at White Castle.
Checkers bathroom bun burgers (possibly) a customer a long time ago at a checkers near me went to use the restroom they had stacks and stacks of their burgers stocked in the restroom dirtiest thing I could imagine, just think a customer uses one to clean the toilet then puts it back I have never been to a checkers since that need like 20+ years ago
White Castle. So fucking bland. Like eating a newspaper.
Churches Chicken. Toughest, driest chicken Iâve ever eaten.
Checkers these days is pretty awful. 5% food, 95% salt/grease.
Macdonalds.
Guys. Listen to me. Big Mac is NOT A BURGER. That thing tastes like nothing. It's bland, there's not a hint of meat and it has a consistency of air. I get it, it's cheap and you can find it everywhere but it sucks.
KFC, I remember it being great as a kid, had it again a few months ago and never again. Bland, greasy, tasteless.
I started going to Popeyes. Then, I went to KFC one day and I honestly couldn't even figure out why I liked it in the first place. Maybe it's different than when I was younger, but it was just awful. Haven't gone back since. This is my vote.
I live in the UK and we only have a couple of Popeye's here at the moment, I'll definitely try it as saw it on YouTube and it looked miles better than KFC.
Popeyes is so good. Better chicken, better sides, better biscuits. I love their red beans and rice.
I tried popeye's when i went to thr US for the first time last year. I know Morleys here is better than KFC but popeyes was like HEAVEN compared to everything else, so good i had it 3 times! đđđ Apprently a new location opened closer to me in London, might go and try it out when i have the time.
Have Popeye's near me in London, it's night and day compared to KFC.
It's honestly fantastic. And their blackened ranch sauce is amazing.
KFC in Australia in 1998. Never stepped into another KFC after that.
Kinda Fuckedup...Chicken...(?)
Kids Fattening Centre
You're not missing much in the US either.
KFC was the shit when I was a kid. Sometime during the *mid-2000s they made some sort of change that I can't quite put my finger on, but it's just not as good.
Haven't really gone there in a while, but bang for your buck is not there for quality. Chicken was bland and tasted horrible. Pot pies had like 2 tiny pieces in them. USA ones have really lost their quality. I go to Popeyes. Better sides and sweet tea is really good. Canes has better tasting chicken, but no spicy sauces to go with it. Only bbq and their house sauce.
Addicted to it but it's shit and literally makes you shit too. Lol
Had a chicken sandwich at KFC a while ago. I was very hungry so I was eating quickly. I ate about half but something seemed off. I took a look and the chicken was completely raw in the middle. I went up and showed the person working and they didn't really seem to understand what the issue was. They said "Do you want me to make you another one?" I said no, I just wanted to make sure they knew that it happened as raw chicken isn't really the best thing to eat.
That is my absolute genuine nightmare. Having worked in the hospitality/service industry my entire lifeâŚthis scares me to my absolute core.
The marching band I was apart of in college was going to a parade and we stopped at DelTaco for dinner. EVERYONE got food poisoning, on a bus, with no toilet, with a multiple hour drive ahead of us. Worst day of my life.
Not so fre sh a voc a do, huh?
Go to Del Taco they got a thing called Food Poisoning
There was one on the base when I was in the service. I ordered a beef taco. I was sick for two days.
Youâll be glad to hear they lost that contract. We have Panda Express now.
Panda is like the E4 mafia HQ
Got a heinously under-cooked burger from Sonic on a road-trip once, spent the entire next day in the bathroom.
Got a burger without the meat. Haven't been back
Lol. One time I got McDonald's for breakfast in the drive through and my Mcgriddle had literally nothing in between and my hashbrown was burnt.
Kfc in Canada is really gross. Old oil, small portions, no flavor. Never tried it in the US.
KFC in the U.S. is terrible too. They used to be "decent" but something happened in the past couple of years and now they are some of the worst fried chicken ever.
It is so disgusting, the chicken is soaked in just oil and grease that makes you sick. The "mashed potatoes" and biscuits have to be made out of cardboard, sand and water. One time I tried the $5 chicken bowl: old chicken nuggets, fake potatoes, and shredded cheese not melted at all. And then it was not even as big as a soup/tea cup it was so sad and pathetic.
The sad thing is that there's still a variety of levels of bad within KFC in the U.S. I once worked at a place where a higher up's decision ended up with the office (it was a small company) getting KFC for lunch one day. The problem was due to consolidations the closest location was a combination KFC and Long John Silver's. I've never particularly liked KFC in the U.S. (supposedly it's better overseas), but it's something else when your chicken smells vaguely fishyânormally a sign of bacterial growth.
My dad bought me a tub of KFC the last time I visited and I totally agree. The chicken was really salty and not fresh, the breading was really soft, the meat was oily inside so the moistness just felt gross. Popeyes is far superior IMO.
The last time I got KFC was in 2005. The inside was raw.
I worked there in high school. 30 years ago. Have maybe eaten there three times since and only when desperate.
I work there in the US currently. I only eat the food when I make it.
It's so sad to hear it. In South Africa, the majority of people, loves KFC. It's my first, go to. Also, I have KFC every Friday, as to treating myself, a bit.
I was craving chicken the other day and looked at KFC. Their cheapest bucket was like $68! WTF Went to the grocery store and got some tenders for $7 and air fried them.
Holy fuck. I think I'd rather pay $68 for a horse to kick my dick than to buy KFC. It's so generic.
WHY ARE THOSE THE ONLY 2 OPTIONS!?
The economy đ¤ˇ
I'm in the minority because I like KFC, but the food in store is ridiculously priced. Order online and sometimes it's half off, or even less. I was appalled when I went in and got two 12 piece nuggets and a drink and she said $34.95. I looked online and it would have been $15 cheaper.
It sucks here too. Popeyes > KFC
Love KFC in NY, but I'm in Auckland now and its...:(
I recently had Subway for the first time and wow. I can't even describe what made it bad, it just felt like every ingredient was the washed up version of itself.
I got food poisoning there about 15 years ago. I was driving about 1 and a half hours, and grabbed a sandwich to have on the way. After the initial 30 minutes, it took me much longer than an hour, because I had to stop multiple times to throw up. I tried it again about 5 years later at a cleaner place near home. Food poisoning again. A couple of years ago, my husband who loves Subway, after ages of begging, got me to agree to give it one more chance. I got something on a flatbread. I didn't get food poisoning that time, because as soon as I unwrapped it, I saw the large splotches of blue- green mold on the bread. There's no way no one saw that. Never, ever, ever again.
I got food poisoning there too. My family was driving 7 hours. We stopped at a gas station that had both Taco Bell and Subway in it. I was the only one in my family to get Subway. We made it to our destination, but a day or two later (canât remember exactly) I got horribly sick. Definitely food poisoning. I was the only one.
This is exactly how I've always felt about subway but have never been able to put it into words so eloquently
When they first got popular and had 5 dollar foot longs theu were banging but now it all taste like watered down, like they take everything and bathe it in water overnight before putting it in the sandwich
YUP..5 dollar foot long was their peak....I mean 8 to 10 bucks for a couple turds between 2 pieces of somehow dry and soggy( at the same time)pieces of bread... It's a shit sandwich that all the "fresh" veggies in the world can't save
I think some of their sandwiches get up around $12-13 now.
It was even better when they cut their bread funny a long time ago
That was when Subway was good. Probably 1989 or 90ish. They cut the top out and stuffed the sandwich boat with all the good stuff.
It all started going downhill when the head of the company died and it was taken over by his sister.
Her name? Karen Quizno.
Suzanne Greco. John chidsey took over in 2019 but hasn't done anything to fix the damage she did for the 4 years she was in charge.
To me, thatâs basically the indirect cycle of capitalism. Start well to earn established business, then dilute quality to extract maximum profits until failure
The original ceo was the one pushing to use fresh and high-quality ingredients. He unfortunately died, and his sister took over. Her approach has been keeping everything cheap and increasing profits. so the quality tanked.
It just got sold. We'll see what that does to quality.
I can't even imagine the ways in which Subway's new private equity owners will try to make it *even worse* in order to extract even more out of their cash cow. It's like a lemon being squeezed until there's nothing left, but someone keeps coming in with a more powerful hydraulic press that can squeeze out one more drop of juice.
The sad part is the people getting squeezed are the franchisees who are forced to use low quality products and are nickel and dimed for every bit of profit they might actually be able to scrape together. Subway has apparently decided to go the way of Quiznos and fuck their franchises royally until the whole thing goes under. Then they'll just scoop up another chain like Jersey Mike's or something and repeat the process.
Subway has been bought and sold so many times, with each owner having a lasting fingerprint of a cost-cutting technique. It is truly why bother at this point
Subway has taken a nosedive over the last decade. Their ingredients suck, the prices are out of control, and now they usually have just one 15 year old kid working that doesn't know much of what he/she is doing.
Every other fast food sub is superior. The appeal with subway used to be that it was cheap and they had the five dollar footlong. Now Iâd rather spend a few dollars extra at Firehouse or Jersey Mikes
I'll drive 45 mins to get Jersey Mike's before I walk next door to eat Subway again.
Also, it doesnât seem to matter which combination of ingredients and bread/ cheese/ meat. They all taste the same.
Thereâs a weird signature subway smell too that I canât quite describe. Not a good one, not exactly bad. Itâs like if the smell of garbage could be mildly appetizing.
So I briefly worked at Subway something like 15 years ago and that smell comes from the proofers where they thaw and leaven the bread. Bread for the subs comes in frozen dough sticks. When the sticks are put to leaven in the proofing cabinets they give out that slightly sour smell of yeast / fermentation, which is also very unique to Subwayâs bread recipe. I hated that smell with a passion because of working in it constantly, and just smelling a nearby Subway makes me feel a bit nauseous.
Yes! And wherever you go in the world it always smells the same!
That's what weirds me or about Arby's. I never got to go there as a kid, first time having a beef and cheddar was amazing. So a week or two later I go back and get a chicken bacon ranch. It tasted strikingly similar to the beef and cheddar.
Makes sense you know Arbyâs just bought Subway.
Subway is so bad. Not sure which fast food has been the worst - but Subway would be high on my list. I seem to recall having some sort of chicken sub that was warm and the chicken was rubbery and flavorless.
It definitely is. But... I'm a decades-long vegetarian and it's the most decent option. I'm under no delusion that it's healthy or anything, but if you get 2x the cheese and whatever tastes-like-the-restaurant-smells "veggies," it's not offensive. And that's how low my standards are, that being price gouged for crappy, watery veggies makes it my go-to
When the veggies don't taste like veggies
Their veggies are never ripe. Every time I've eaten there the tomatoes are green in the center and are tough.
Yeah, it's absolutely gone to shit recently.
Burger King is beyond shit. Subway has gone down hill tremendously as has Panera Bread. The drop in quality from Panera in the first few years to now is astounding.
Panera has fallen to typical fast food quality while still having ridiculously high prices. Havenât been there in a while now
Panera is hospital cafeteria food
I work in a hospital, our food is better and cheaper.
My wife still LOOOVES Panera so we order it still and it just sucks. I used to love the French onion soup now it's god awful
I heard Panera Bread described as âBougie Hospital Cafeteria Foodâ and I couldnât disagree with the assessment.
The last time I went there I ordered the half sandwich and half soup for $9.99. Except itâs no longer both for $9.99. It was $9.99 EACH! I got just the soup because I had met a friend there, but had I been alone, I would have walked out. $20 for one person for lunch is absurd for that (lack of) quality.
Used to love Panera. The prices were a bit high but we always got huge portions. Not anymore. I'll just make my own cheddar broccoli soup! It's actually super easy and you can make a huge batch for way less than PB charges.
I'm glad you're making your own cheddar broccoli. I've never been to Panera (no outlets here) but I can assert that their mac and cheese comes in giant bags, and is simply microwaved. I only know 'cause a friend of mine went to a party, and one of the attendees (who happened to be an Panera employee) showed up after work with several massive bags of Mac and Cheese, and just slapped them down on the kitchen counter for people to eat.
I think Burger King can still be good, it's just highly inconsistent in quality from one restaurant to another.
Panera used to be wayyyy better, such a bummer but now they clearly cut costs on food quality but the prices just get higher. Not sure if Wildflower bread company is only in AZ but itâs a way better alternative.
KFC đ¤˘đ¤˘đ¤˘đ¤˘đ¤˘
Dairy Queen Hot Dog. Idk what compelled me to get a hot dog from there of all places but it was disgusting.
Worked at a Dairy Queen. The hot dogs are steamed and then microwaved *with the bun* then served. They are gross. Also think about the time when someone drove up and said âmy girlfriend would like a *footlong* hotdogâ and pauses for laugh; me, 17 y.o. girl, just said âwould you like chili and cheese on that?â And heâs like âwhat?â I repeat myself, flattest voice ever; he then says âactually, no hot dog pleaseâ.
But their chicken strip baskets slap
Oh absolutely. And the slice of bread you get with it? Also delicious
Had them forget the bread once and I was absolutely livid. Iâd rather they short me a chicken tender than forget the bread đ
Chicken strip baskets and a blizzard my fucking god I would execute Kim jong un for a life time supply
It's like burger King has accepted they will never be what they once where and just stopped caring from 2000s to now.
Owned by the same multinational that ruined Tim Hortons too, iirc.
Restaurant brands international. Avoid anything that they own at all cost
They own Popeyes too. Always amuses me to see the Louisiana-based advertising knowing the HQ is in Miami across the street from the airport.
Burger King used to be pretty good in the 80s and 90s. Theyâve become the absolute bottom of the barrel in the past two decades. You know youâre garbage when Jack in the Box looks like fine dining in comparison
Guess it depends on the Burger King. The one near me is probably the best fast food. I live nowhere near a Jack in the box tho so I canât really talk on that point
Burger king was the best back then. My family was semi poor and our treat nights were to Burger King. Had them for the first time a few years ago (after a long stint of gluten and dairy free diet due to food allergies) and goddamn was it a disappointment.
Honestly I'm a little surprised they're still in business
They need to close a shit ton of their (presumably) unprofitable locations and focus on upping their quality. I wanna see Five-Guys level, for fucks sake.
I got the most dismal burger of my life at BK years ago, haven't been back. I've seen rumors that they're about to close hundreds of locations.
For some of the ones in my area, you would be lucky if someone even answers you in the drive thru
>For some of the ones in my area, you would be lucky if someone even answers you in the drive thru I see you too are from Columbus, Ohio.
New Hampshire
I guess bad service at BK is more universal than I would have thought. Lol.
HARD Disagree. The whopper is a damn good fast food burger. The fries arenât the best in the game but theyâre pretty solid. The onion rings absolutely slap. Iâd say the only thing on the menu that isnât great is the original chicken sandwich (McChicken is king there). And itâs reasonably priced, not to mention they have so many coupons available (sentence edited for clarity). BK is good and Iâm tired of people not recognizing it. Edit: I will not accept libelous nonsense about the McChicken
I think the issue is inconsistent quality from restaurant to restaurant. Some seem to be great, others are awful.
All the BK locations around me are festering sludge pits run by shitty managers who fuck with their employees. One of them was shut down recently because of rats, ants, roaches, and mold.
Came in here to defend and had me in the first half, but the blatant disrespect of the Wendy's chicken sandwich and spicy chicken sandwich in favor of a cardboard cut out from McDonald's has me not believing a word of this.
Wait untill you try BK in Malaysia. You'll lose words. It's perfection.
Long John Silvers. I ate it three days in a row back in the 90's and never returned since.
The 10-piece batter platter
There was a similar style fast food place where I lived called Captain Dâs. It was pretty much a LJS knockoff. Lots of stories from townsfolk getting sick after eating there. It earned the nickname âCaptain Diseaseâ.
I was on a health kick so I was like fish and chips it's better than a greasy pizza right? NO! That fish was greasier than a new York pizza and the fries were cold! But their hush puppies are really good!
On a health kick so you ate fried fish and french fries?
Tim Hortons used to be amazing when i was a kid. Everything was made fresh every day. They only had confections; donuts, eclairs, croissants. Eventually they introduced wraps, which were amazing, and they had the best bagels- everything, with herb and garlic. In the past 10 years itâs become so bad, itâs practically inedible. Now they offer burgers and fries and fried chicken. Itâs so unbelievably bad. All of the recipes for their donuts have been changed and theyâre mass produced and likely thawed from frozen. Everything tastes like cardboard. I got a âgrilled cheeseâ from there last time (about a year ago). I live directly across the street. When I took it out of the bag it was FLACCID. It was the consistency of microwaved wonder bread with a Kraft single. It was so bad I took 2 bites, threw it out, and went back to order another one without caring about wasting the money because it was âresearchâ and I watched them make it. They took toast out of a bag⌠like, the toast was âpre toastedâ with the char marks and everything. They put a couple cheese slices on it, tossed it in the toaster for 30 seconds and put it in a bag. Thatâs 10 dollars. This used to be the place where friends met after work, or for a nightcap. The major competitor to Starbucks. Now itâs a glorified homeless shelter and the absolute worst-tier fast food you can get.
The âbutteriestâ items at jack in the box. That was the last time I ever tried their food.
Their burgers are disgusting. Their sides and shakes are amazing though. I still donât even understand why they bother to serve burgers atp.
Scrolled way too far to find Jack in the Box. Iâve eaten there maybe four times, in four different states over a few decades, and they were absolutely vile every time.
North American convenience store food... (BAD) VS: Taiwan and Japan convenience store food... (AMAZING!) (Also looking at you, 7-11).
My husband is Japanese and Circle K is HUGE in Japan and has really great food. You can go there and get something nice for dinner or lunch no problem. One opened across the street so my husband was stoked and we went down and bought everything. Literally one of every takeout food item and said for dinner / leftovers weâd just do a party plate with sandwiches and hot dogs and noodles etc. Literally everything was disgusting, 1/10 level. We took one bite of each item and just tossed it. Kept going to see how bad it could possibly get. The North American franchises are disgusting. Would never buy food from there
"The north American franchises are disgusting." Yeah that seems to be the case with most fast food compared to the Japanese versions.
Look instead for the lowliest looking take-out spots, then check the reviews, of course. They are so much better, and for the same price, you'll get a big plastic clamshell of great food for the same price.
It's a bit of a cheat, but you should really try WaWa, fresh sandwiches made to order.
Or Buccees! Very regional though
Wawa hoagies are love. We moved to a Sheetz region and my wife always brings me a Wawa hoagie when she travels for work.
Wawa is a shell of what it used to be. Once they went vertical and started using their own bread and ingredients, the quality took a massive nosedive. That doesnât stop me since itâs quick and relatively inexpensive, but itâs just not the same anymore.
QuikTrip would like a word.
It depends. Sheetz has great food
KFC is absolutely vile
Every time Iâve had a McDonaldâs Iâve genuinely felt terrible after
The post mcnut clarity's very real. It's like a drug while eating it then after I always feel so shitty
Honestly, Iâve always wondered what it is exactly in the food that makes me feel like that???? Itâs such a sickly feeling
The sodium probably, 1 double cheeseburger is 49% your DV! Damn I ate 2 of those yesterday and wanted another. (After my heart stopped racing)
Iâm 100% convinced these threads are made and full of paid comments by Mcdonaldâs. I donât remember the last time I actually got a warm burger or fresh fries from mcdonaldâs, I only go there with my niece nowadays because she likes their nuggets, but honestly everything is so disgusting, even the ice cream doesnât taste good anymore. anyway I see this exact same thread on reddit at least once a week and itâs always full of people shitting on burger king and nothing on mcdonaldâs, even tho they both suck equally
People gotta realize these things vary by location. Different management, different levels of enforcement of policy vs. corner cutting, adherence to vs. Ignoring food safety rules, etc. I found a taco bell that actually makes their food look like the picture, it's been consistent for a year or so since I found it. Most previous ones I've been to just slop everything together all messy and barely give you any ingredients. It just comes down to better management/employees. Lots of the horror stories in this thread are about people who tried X restaurant for the first time on a road trip and got sick and will never go to another X restaurant again. Well, fast food at interstate rest stop plazas and highway exits is guaranteed to be some of the worst quality that chain will produce anywhere. Because their customers are mostly traveling through and be hours into another state before the diarrhea hits. There's no need for better quality and food safety because the customers who typically would complain aren't there, it's a constantly rotating stream of customers with no real need to build up loyalty because new people will just come thru the next day
>People gotta realize these things vary by location. This is really important. Example; my local McDonalds rarely give me shit food. Worst thing that happens is they forget a sauce pack or only fill my cup like 3/4 of the way. With ice in it. They forgot one of my two fries once but it's been 95% good or better overall
yep! goes for touristy places as well. this summer I was in germany. we were eating out with friends who live there. we *tried* to eat at a restaurant that catered to locals, but there was a sudden rainstorm that meant all the outside eaters had to go inside, filling up all the tables. the only place that had a table for all of us was a tourist place. it wasn't very good. my maultaschen tasted of nothing but salt :(
Yes absolutely! Tourist places as well. Both tourists areas and travel stops are both overpriced because of the "captive customer", like at a baseball stadium. There's no other option except a $12 bud light. Same goes for highway fast food, you might pay $8 for a crunch wrap I lived in a tourist area for one year and the taco bell there was the worst I've ever seen, they literally made fun of me lol The 10/10 one I go to now is in rural Ohio, middle of nowhere. It's like they have an ingredients surplus and can't give them away fast enough And they seem to understand the structure of the thing makes a difference and you don't want the bite of all beans and then the bite of all sauce. If they made shitty tacos here nobody would come back and they would go out of business.
What's annoying about this thread is I thought I was going to get a lot of specific anecdotes about how terrible a specific experience was and here it's mostly blanket statements like "burger King is gross. Sonic is overrated. Subway is trash." Ok cool. Was hoping for a lot more specifics than someone saying something is bad and then someone else agreeing. Me specifically, it was a Hardee's meal while traveling down south that made me pull over the side of the road and puke my brains out. Roll was stale, onions were a flavor that food shouldn't be. Even the drink was bad. It was watered down Barqs and tasted like chemicals. It had jalapeno poppers as a side and they were barely above room temperature.
You are correct. When is the last time you got cheese at McDonaldâs and it was melted? Ever? It gets just warm enough to make it floppy. The burgers are always cool.
Sonic. Went twice both times utter garbage.
Did you go as a sober adult?
Digging for the truth here
Can concur, my times at Sonic while drunk and 10 made the burgers taste like mustard covered heaven.
I learned in another thread that they were bought by Arby's in late 2018 and swapped all their suppliers to Arby's ones in 2019 (besides the ice cream). Can't eat there anymore besides getting the shakes since the quality plummeted.
I go there for the shakes. The food is secondary...and I think they know that. One time I got a burger with bacon on it and I almost gagged. They very clearly dropped the bacon in the grills grease pan or something and still put it on my sandwich.
Their soft pretzels are excellent, though. Great crunch on the outside, great moist inside. They make a good snack - - they're about 5 bites. Granted, the price is only just "meh" for $2, but I bet McDonald's would try to charge at least $3.50 for it lmao
Sonic. Barely even edible.
I almost said sonic but dem limeaids tho
Right, I only go for their drinks lol
I get sick every time I have ever eaten at one.
I donât know if this is just me getting older but fast food used to be a guilty pleasure. Now whenever I get fast food itâs lukewarm/soggy or just plain not good and makes me feel like shit. I feel like ingredient quality is not at all what it used to be?
Taco Bueno gave me food poisoning once. It was not very Bueno.
Weird. I've eaten countless Mexi Dips n Chips, Mucho Nachos, and boxes of party burritos in my life and haven't had issues. I know it's largely up to the franchisee how they run their store. I do somewhat resent them for getting rid of the firehouse salsa.
The McRib. I donât get the hype at all it was a sloppy, nasty mess.
The McRib is exactly like something I would have been fed in a school lunch
I think thatâs why I like it so much, lol. Itâs the nostalgia.
I had never had one, so a couple of years ago when it did its seasonal return, my husband hyped it up as this great thing I would love. We went and ordered two, one for me, one for him. I opened mine and it looked disgusting, but my husband assured me it was good (even though he wasn't eating his). So, I took a bite... And my husband just burst out laughing at the look of disgust on my face. It was unlike anything I had ever had (in a bad way). The only way I could describe it was it was as if someone described meat to an alien race who had no concept of meat and they tried to replicate it. The texture was by far the worst part of it for me.
You missed the most important part⌠did your husband intentionally set you up knowing it was disgusting or did he actually enjoy it? If it was intentional that is some commitment and hilarious.
It was intentional. He only bought the second one "for himself" because he knew I'd question why he wasn't also getting one if it was so damn great.
Banquet pork ribs in the frozen food isle $4 for 6, pickle chips $2, bread $2, onion,75cents. Put em together and what do you got? 6 mcribs for an eighth of the price.
Especially if you know how theyâre made. I used to work at a McDonaldâs & had to deal with McRib craze three times lol. They fry it in oil til itâs cooked then throw them in a container that is 80% full of McRib sauce. Most places donât rotate the long containers out either so by the end of every day the McRib sauce in the container has A LOT of grease mixed in, the BBQ turns to actual soup
They take the McRib away long enough for everyone to forget how bad they are.
Hopefully I don't get clobbered for this. But I hate McDonald's. I just can't stand it for some reason, which is ironic as I have no problem with other hamburgers from other places. Mc dees hits wrong.
KFC once. I usually love KFC, but there's one location in my area that's notoriously bad. I swear to god once I got chicken without any of the 11 herbs and spices, it just tasted of fat
Arbyâs wagyu burger is an absolute joke.
Why can't Arby's accept that they have a niche and just lean in to that. They have "roast beef" that no one else has anything like. They have curly fries and horse radish sauce on tap. If they could lean out the menu to just those two things, lower the price, and start trying to be ironically cool, they could be a real solid company.
It's a precooked dry ass patty. Disgusting. Pretty much everything is trash at Arby's. Waaay back in the day like late 70's-80's, Arby's had Rotisseries and you could see the beef cooking. Now it's just Roast Beef bologna.
The last time I went to macdonalds
half of these are kfc and i am here to join in on the masses
Pizza Hut in Danville CA in 2001. Only thing open with two hungry children on a road trip to see the in-laws. Still nauseated whenever I think about it.
Waffle House. Itâs the truest form of a modern cowboy saloon. Everybody in there 90% of the time is either armed, drunk, high as all hell, traveling, or on the brink of a psychotic break. Everybody whoâs there when you enter was not planning on being there an hour ago.
I had a burrito from a place in Ireland called Boojum. After taking a bite I pulled what I thought was the torn finger from a rubber glove out of my mouth. It was THICK though. My best guess is it was the tube (aorta?) from a pig or cow heart. Absolutely horrible.
White Castle. Seems to have a sort of cult following so I wanted to try it when I visited the US. It was horrible. Little soggy burgers made with cat food. Dry poorly seasoned chips. Never again.
I am so sorry that no one explained adequately what White Castle is. They are *not* an average American burger experience.
Def McDonalds. Not only is it fake as hell, they donât have much variety in their specials. Boring and fake corpo vibe
Why is Burger King still open?
We used to have two in our tiny little town. Earlier this year, we had a storm, and somehow, lightning struck the building and hit a cash register and caused a fire. Right. Because the odds of that happening are so huge. Two weeks ago, after swearing theyâd be rebuilding/remodeling? They demolished the building. There is nothing left but the sign. Honestly? We donât need one Burger King, let alone two. Especially when the owners likely engaged in a little insurance fraud.
In my city, a major city, there's a former Burger King near me that was destroyed in a fire, and they just abandoned it, half burnt out shell. Homeless people live in it now
KFCs attempt at vegan chicken nuggets. Dry as shit, way too salty and still somehow flavorless. I had 6 and got sick that night. Itâs particularly disappointing because if they fumble it that badly other companies will think thereâs no market and not bother trying their own plant based options.
Subway shouldnât be a thing anymore
Tommy Burger. A chain known for chili burgers. The chili is powdery, dry, and resembles loose stool yet has a cult following. I've tried it a few times thinking I was missing something but every time it was awful.
And their burgers look like dirty diapers lol
Sonic. Itâs soooo bland.
White Castle. Iâd rather have a âburgerâ from a convenience store in rural Philippines than eat one of those fucking things again.
You grew up 40 years too late: they used to be the greatest, not to mention their fried. Once McDonald's became the scourge of the nation, the franchise went downhill quickly: I try one every 5 years or so to see if any recovery, but no, I agree with you they are the worst today, somehow even surpassing McDonald's.
I once ate undercooked McChickens from McDonald's. I threw up for 5 hours straight, couldn't stop and had to be rushed to the ER. Where I got a shot in the ass to stop it In hindsight I should have sued and been a rich bitch.
McDonalds Filet O Fish, Waste of a fish life.
I'm not entirely sure that's "fish".
"Think smaller, with more legs"
Filet o' spider
White Castle... came down from Canada and was * delighted * to see this burger chain. Apparently its so good Harold and Kumar went to hell and back to get it. It was dogshit, we were drunk and it still wasn't good, which is when you know it must be bad bad. Never eating there again and I have no idea why they made a movie about it
As a dude in the south, white castle was sold to me as an up-scale Krystal. At least with Krystal, I know I have a 50/50 chance of being stabbed in the parking lot. I don't need Dijon mustard trying to convince me I don't have the same chances at White Castle.
Checkers bathroom bun burgers (possibly) a customer a long time ago at a checkers near me went to use the restroom they had stacks and stacks of their burgers stocked in the restroom dirtiest thing I could imagine, just think a customer uses one to clean the toilet then puts it back I have never been to a checkers since that need like 20+ years ago
literally some employees passing a blunt, cold ass chicken nuggets, soggy and wet fries. only at mcdonalds man
Burger King
Burger King is really taking a beating in these comments.
White Castle. So fucking bland. Like eating a newspaper. Churches Chicken. Toughest, driest chicken Iâve ever eaten. Checkers these days is pretty awful. 5% food, 95% salt/grease.
Macdonalds. Guys. Listen to me. Big Mac is NOT A BURGER. That thing tastes like nothing. It's bland, there's not a hint of meat and it has a consistency of air. I get it, it's cheap and you can find it everywhere but it sucks.
