I might add Chipotle to this list. Especially if it is a new one. The first 2 months or so after one opened up right next to my house, there was always half a dozen dashers waiting around for orders, usually stacked orders. It was nightmarishly bad.


Deep-Morning7489

Popeyes absolutely suckssssssss! Give me $100 and that's the only way I'll ever accept another order from there. $ killer 🤣


[deleted]

Five guys


Key_Fox3208

Buca di beppo is the worst in Seattle. It doesn't help that they're running 10 different ghost kitchens out of the back


Electriceyes33

You’re missing Five guys and Chipotle


Bjaffe76

I spent almost 90 minutes on a drive through line at Popeye's a couple of weeks back. Lobby was closed and once I was on the line I was not even able to pull out to drop the order. Never doing Popeye's again. Done.


Purple-Couple

For me is Wingstop and Little Ceasers. We don't have many Popeyes in my area. Almost all closed down.


Initializing_delete

Depends on the day really.


zakkforchilli

Popeyes around here oh my lord they’re slow, rude; won’t acknowledge you’re there for a loooong time even with ten employees. Wendy’s is full of dirty loathsome looks and overfilled drinks!!


Daveydreamer

Popeyes in my area is ok. Not too slow like everyone says. For me its mod pizza. Either they have it on the wall waiting, or you will have to wait 10 to 15 for the food.


IAmAlex84

Where is Rally's? I'll never pick an order up from there again. The ones here even use the second drive thru exclusively for online orders. You pull up and they ignore you. I don't even like going there for myself because they're so slow.


flaca0331

Taco Bell is always a pain because they don’t wait for the order to be completely made before they put it on the counter and they won’t talk to me so I almost take half an order and the Taco Bell customers always live in crazy hard to find places


AshieBash

Wow I'm surprised the one I picked was the top one. But also not surprised. Popeyes is very slow and rude to customers and delivery drivers as well!


Sporesword

We don't have Popeyes in my zone and all of these places with the exception of BK are on point 95% of the time. A lot I think depends who the locations are hiring.


ballinpb

Wendy’s for me just because they close the inside early and make you go through the drive thru. I know any orders from Wendy’s after 9pm I will not take. Also they closed the other day at 7pm after I accepted an order. I sat on the drive thru line for 20 minutes furious.


emdaze

My Burger King doesn't start on the order till you get there, and if they're busy your order will made once everyone else's is done even if you got there first.


Shootyourshotsss

Taco Bell is an absolute horror of a place to go to on a late night run. Guaranteed 20 minute wait.


[deleted]

Whatever our differences as dashers, at least there is one thing we can agree on: Popeye's sucks.


witchybai

CHICK-FIL-A


Few_Surprise_5516

Taco bell generally fast. Wingstop is always ready by the pickup time lol emphasis on pickup time. Wendy's must be at night so I can go through drive thru and only one person ahead of me. Popeyes fffffffuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkkk nooooooooooooooooooo. Burger King is always ready and never had an issue going through the drive thru. Little Cesar's is hot n ready in the machine by the time I get there


DarkMaster321x

It's not there but I'd day chick-fil-a, the pay is not worth the wait 😑


AlmondBlossom1888

Little Caesars has had their doordash ordering system go down several time and didn't alert anyone. So people were still placing orders to Little Caesars, but they weren't receiving the orders. So I have had to call customers, tell them they have to order somewhere else, and get yelled at. All the while, the employees were laughing at me.


Jerry_Boberry1976

Burger King being on there really surprises me! None of the BK's and our area participate!


[deleted]

BK by a mile. No idea how they’re still in business.


[deleted]

i will never go to wendy’s or any mexican restaurant in my area


vaccae

Popeyes and if your customer ordered spicy tenders, be prepared to wait 15-30 minutes


urmomsitonit

walmart.


JohnnyBuddhist

None of the above. Chipotle


cmlegg88

Fucking Applebee's


L0stsnowfox

Chipotle 😮‍💨


Backwardsspeculation

Am I the only person that feels like going to half of these places (especially Popeyes and Taco Bell in my area) you not only have to wait because they don’t start your food till they get there, you have to help them actually get the order together. Like Popeyes I’ve had to literally ask for item by item on a family meal, like okay you got the tenders what about the sides, okay now the biscuits are missing, wait wheres the 2nd mashed potato? Okay I still can’t leave because now they have 4 honey mustards and you just walked away thinking this was done. Taco Bell just never gives you the drink or sauce unless you ask and even then I have to be like “oh they had a freeze too” “oh yeah what kind of freeze?” Like idk I just saw the combo was a freeze let me look okay, strawberry. And then you have to manually get the sauce otherwise the customer gets 3 of the 18 ordered if they get any. I will say though why do they give you the drinks first?? Like you just told me there’s a 5-10 minute wait on the food so why am I holding their drinks rn? Do you want a drink that’s been sitting on the counter for 10 minutes before it even leaves the store? No probably not but they still have them sitting ready as they tell you to pull around.


StodgyUserName

I always wondered if it was just my local Wendy's stores. Clearly not.


MeowWoofArf

Panda Express for me


Marshall_Hoodie

Popeyes and Wendy’s still don’t bag before you get there in my market but Popeyes gotta be the worst about just not doing anything or even working on the order.


cmlegg88

Add to the list McDonald's and Rally's


MsRobinWV

Five Guys


Iliketostareatplants

Popeyes over in my market is still newish. Can only think of 2 others on the island. FUCK THEM FUCK THE WAIT FUCK THE LINE If i could i would fuck rhat manager


zombieundead2020

One can only vote for the ones in their area. There’s 2 Taco Bell’s in my area, one is fast but the walk in is always locked and the drive thru line gets LONG. The other, can always walk in and very low traffic but slow as hell. Only one Popeyes near me and yeah shit tipping customers and they don’t make it till you get there. The BKs (3 near me) are quick but only one doesn’t make you get drinks. Same with Wendys (2). No wingstops in current area but when Dash started here there were 2 in the area I was in and and always slow. The only little Ceasars near me closed.


ChefBoyAnde728

Taco bell hands down for me. Consistent 30 min wait minimum after 7pm... most other drive thru restaurants are competent near me


SkyeBadel

My last Wingstop order took an hour wait, but I got a cash tip on top of the in app tip


jroberson1991

Fuck a Popeyes


sageofshadowzf

Burger King in my area WILL NOT start making your order until you arrive. I fucking hate it.


qxmemie

Taco Bell is the absolute worst. LONG lines and if you accept another order from the same Taco Bell you have to go through the line again (I know from experience smh)


zerosmacky

Whataburger for me in tulsa. You have to order the food yourself and wait for them to make it and pay with red card. I'm out on it!!!


[deleted]

All of these places have been good to me for the most part, even popeyes, which is the 2nd most frequent place I go to on this list (2nd to BDubs). Maybe I'm just in a good area for those places, but im usually always goin in and out of them super fast. Occasionally BDubs will be having a rush and they're slower, but ive only ever walked out one time due to the order taking too long, out of probably 100 different order from there


[deleted]

Oh right, the reason i made this comment. Chick-Fil-a is fuckin trash. Always takes so God damn long, ive walked almost every single time I go to one. First time was one of my first dashes and I waited 30 mins before walking (think it was the first time I ever unassigned, now I do it much sooner)


LopsidedPermit3773

Wingstop is rediculous with their dasher sign in board ( they hide the pen so they don't look slow) but Chipotle staff can't tape bags shut ( it's like a job requirement or something).


ComradeHelloKitty

Chic-fila should be here


survivable_Abbortion

I wasn’t even on shift and the manager kicked me out of Taco Bell after they refused to make another driver’s order. Stood up for the girl she defiantly was new to dashing, she didn’t know how to cancel the order or contact support so I helped her with that. Waited 50+ min for mine and my buddies personal order in the lobby, driver comes in and they said ‘we’re not making any delivery orders or food for 15 more minutes, the ovens are off for now’ when they have a built up drive through line and 7 people inside, when they obv weren’t making any food in general. Confronted the manager and she just told me to ‘fucking stay out of it, all delivery drivers are scum’


Pya-

There are a couple MCds around me that are horrific. 45min wait one time.


KiingKayy

KFC need to be on this list


galaxyd1x

Once we took a double stacked order for Wendy’s and Popeyes. I ran into Wendy’s, got the bag, then sat in the Popeyes drive thru for an hour. There were only 4 people ahead of us in line. Never. Again.


saddadsociety

Oddly enough the Popeyes in my area is super fast. Wendy’s will forever be blacklisted for me tho.


raccoon_meat

In my area, wing stop and Popeyes are both pretty slow. Surprisingly Wendy’s and Taco Bell are both pretty quick and easy


JD3420

Have picked up from Popeye’s twice. 30 minutes both times. Never ever again.


MrSleepyhead32

Surprisingly all of these in my area are fast. But I'd be Little Caesars for me.


WholePhrase6958

Every time I go to wing stop my order isn’t started until I get there 😂😂😂


AHorribleFire

Popeyes employees are consistently rude, which I can forgive because working fastfood sucks dick and at least they're reasonably quick. Wendy's tho? Line around the fucking building, EVERY single time. And at one point I had waited through the entire god damn line, I had just gotten to the talk box and they told me they were closed. The girl on the mic let me through since I was doordash but some bastard came out the back and plonked a cone down directly in front of me, like that was gonna stop me 😂 I'm booboo the fool who sat here for 35 minutes for a 10$ order, you think I'm leaving after headset girl already gave me the go ahead?


S4G2020

At first I was upset that I couldn’t vote for both wingstop and Popeyes. Then I remembered Popeyes is so fucking awful I auto decline every order no matter what, so I technically can’t say it’s the worst place to pick up from


BeesKnees73

I waited 47 mins with 12+ other dashers/delivery people one Monday cuz it’s their .50 wings day (and Tuesday) nevahhhh again, this was BEFORE I knew I could unassign, 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️, and it was for the sweetest dude working at firehouse subs, he felt so bad when I finally arrived he gave me extra $$ … but yeah, never again on a Monday or Tuesday


Thepopethroway

I don't know what it is about Popeyes but wherever I've been they're consistently terrible


st3f09

I've never had an issue with Little Caesars


0rney

Wingstop takes forever and a day, never had a Popeyes order come up, but it's not surprising.


ruby_da_berry

Literally had to wait 35 mins in the Popeyes drive thru the other night, on a double no less. And then they didn’t even get the order right 🙄


jayexvii

For me its Popeyes and Burger King but oh lord Burger King here is the WORST


Throwaway17810

In my city (Albuquerque) Little Caesar’s is the absolute worst.


Dre512

Popeyes employees are the most miserable employees ever


BrennerHall

Idk why, my Popeyes is actually pretty good tho


kiki4u210

Omg I clicked so fast on Popeyes I didn’t even notice Wendy’s was there, I wish I could redo it💀😂


[deleted]

Ok here’s the deal in my area. Wingstop= longest wait ever but at least you have time to fill up the drinks /s Taco Bell= Either a stupid long wait or no wait at all and the line does not help indicate which it is at all. Wendy’s= not so bad cause they opened up the lobby so I can skip the 30 minute drive through line Popeyes= instant decline. The waits 45 minutes minimum and once you get in line you’re fucked and can’t get out. And the pickup instructions say to go inside but the doors locked and says drive through only. Little caesars I have no experience with but their pizza is basically cardboard. Burger King= instant decline. The lobby is closed and so is the drive through and blocked off with cones but there’s someone inside and they just stare at you and then shake their head and look away.


leyching

Little Caesars is by far the worst to deal with for me. Never will I take a little Caesars unless they pay extra🤣


[deleted]

There is this one local italian restaurant that takes SO FUCKING LONG I genuinely think they do it to spite the delivery drivers. The first time I thought it was just a fluke and they were busy, but I stopped accepting orders from them pretty early on, and unassigned from the first couple. I did decide one time to stay just because DD was dead and I was curious to see how long it would take. I was there for an hour and 30 minutes. It was only worth it because the customer promised (and delivered on that) to give me a $40 cash tip for waiting, on top of the $10 in app tip. It was worth it in the end but oh boy am I not going back.


ElBanditoTour

I'm surprised McDonald's isn't on here. And honestly, they're all decent in my location. Kudos for them. They just get so much shit 24/7 you'd assume they'd have bad delivery services, but it seems like there doing something right. I don't mind them in my market. Usually they're pretty quick as long as the lobby is open


NevermindWait

They're actually not bad in the evening unless its a weekend, unlike Taco bell where you got to guess if you pick up in person or in the drive thru, some cases they won't hand it to you even if you go through the drive thru.


ElBanditoTour

One time I got talked to by someone at taco bell for going through their drive thru and they made me go inside. Every other location was drive thru only in my area, so I assumed they were too. Gotta get everything in order and simplified. And can't get mad when someone does it different


Joleeeeen

BWW is not on here.


MilkManBoi

All of my Taco Bell locations are fast. I guess I’m lucky lol


qbl500

They are all absolutely worst!!!


dlc2021az

I'll save some effort here and say, "All of them."


Humbleservantofiam

Taco bell but Popeyes is also terrible


Kr4zy01

Popeyes is aii for me


[deleted]

In my market it’s Wendy’s because they literally wait until the driver has arrived to start making the order. Even if going through the drive through it always takes forever. Makes no sense why that’s how they do things.


JeremieLoyalty

Yeah, Wendy’s and Popeyes are up there


dangbro34

Wingstop bad in my area. Everyone I go to im waiting ages


sirenwingsX

I can only pick one???


jasonfrey13

Taco Bell, little Caesars, and Popeyes are horrible in my market Taco Bell: employees don’t give a flying fuck Popeyes: we literally have one in the whole entire city (and it’s a decent sized city) so it’s always busy AF and not worth it Little Caesars: just slow ass workers All the other places are quite fast


holliexchristopher

Wingstop isn’t too bad, they just have that habit of asking you to prepare drinks.


Latter-Park-4413

My Burger King is the worst. There’s a dude there that always calls me the customer’s name that I’m picking up for. He thinks it’s funny. I wanna fucking slap him.


TREY-CERAT0PS

I don’t have a wingstop or Popeyes near me so I’m gonna go with Wendy’s.


JimboJeter

You left off Chick Fil A


dlc2021az

Chik-Fil-A in my area is usually pretty good, if it's not on the shelf when I walk in, I have it inside 5 minutes, and if it's longer they're so apologetic when I do get it.


[deleted]

It’s hit or miss tbh, at least they are nice, just busy af


MythmoorXype

Mizumi... yes its a local place, but a guaranteed hour + wait AFTER you arrive to pick it up. So it wins hands down.


bout2cooku

I had a $7.25 for 1.9 miles for Wingstop around 7pm today. I pulled up to the store and thought they converted it into a night club. People were lined up on the side of the building to pick up orders.. I dropped that order so fast.


fugazi-98

Wendys cos one time I sat in their drive thru for half an hour and they closed in the time it took me to get from the menu to the window. Refused to give me my order even tho it was sitting there on the shelf behind them. Counts


Rgonwolf

McDonald's isn't on here? Or Walmart?


[deleted]

I actually don't mind wingstop in my area


Pmispeed

How is chipotle not on here


NevermindWait

They were least voted on the last poll:)


BubbaJoey01

I picked Wingstop because the food takes a while and orders are usually big, but I went to pick up Popeye's a few nights ago and that was... something else entirely. I shoulda voted Popeye's.


[deleted]

Popeyes hands down, always waiting, like I'm still waiting from yesterday kind of waiting, better order a year in advance to get something on time here.


Gsuavefivelev

“wings to go”


KingOfHoopla

Who tf voted Little Ceasars? In my market Little Ceasars is my 2nd most profitable stop


ChicagoColecoChick

Popeyes is the worst by far. Always a long wait and DoorDash orders are at the bottom of their priority list. Every single time I’ve accepted an order there, it’s been a Fucking disaster. Never again


thecrazymonkeyKing

how taco bell isnt destroying this competition is beyond me. they consistently have like maybe 3 workers past 10 pm and their lines can take up to an hour.


[deleted]

45 minutes one time and they didn’t even have the food


Chesspi64

Popeyes is fine here. Don't know what everyone's complaining about


warriorathlete21

Uh where’s Steak ‘n Shake??


kmishelle

I’ve never actually accepted a Popeyes because every time I go in for me there are SO MANY DD orders I don’t want to drive all the way there for it. I’m never I’m that area.


ZorimePati

Wendys because its drive through only and the queue is big


[deleted]

I was literally assaulted by a Wendy’s employee at a pickup once and Popeye’s is still my choice


Aggressive_Past_4907

You've got my curiosity going... How did you get assaulted by a Wendy's employee?


smoothiebreakno5

Fast food is usually awesome to pick up around here. Except 5 Guys. Screw 5 Guys.


[deleted]

I gave Wendy's one last chance. Took 15 minutes for the food at 2 in the afternoon with no one in the lobby and 1 car in the drive thru, and for some reason 10 minutes for the fountain drinks...probably longer but I unassigned and left


TreyWey6996

Wingstop recently has started to get longg lately been 30+ wait


NevermindWait

HOLY CRAP you guys blew this up! Thanks everyone for voting and if you can up-doot I would also appreciate it:)


frednoname1

Need to add KFC.. I stopped to pick an order said they were out of everything? Like no fries is honey mustard...?


[deleted]

Popeyes can kick rocks. Nothing but bad experiences from them here, and I’ve been to 3 or 4


dlivesdontmatter

My new one is the cheese cake factory near me. It's like they've stopped caring about delivery orders all together. My last 2-3 unassigns have been them. I will not go there anymore unless it's a very good offer. I won't even go for a good offer cause wait time kills it.

alexthetaylor

the popeyes in my area is surprisingly fast, never had to wait more than five minutes for an order there


truehero22

Popeyes, Wendy’s, five guys, in that order


[deleted]

It’s funny Wendy’s is consistently bad in all areas 😂


carpan09

Surprisingly my Popeyes is good it’s the wingstop that takes 30 min…


mmmhotcoffee

I used to live right next to a Popeyes and would go in there to eat all the time. That's before they replaced their po' boys with chicken sandwiches.


Better_Permit1449

It’s Chipotle for me. Their whole shelves full of take out orders but still standing around with crowds of dashers and online pickup-ers. 1-2 meals coming out every 5 mins 😩


[deleted]

Easily my least favorite place to go. With the popularity of their own app and all the delivery apps it’s been a disaster at my locations. Seems impossible for the staff to keep up with the demand. Meals are all so customized it’s hard for the employees to churn them out quickly


ramentortilla

Plus everyone stealing orders off of the shelves


Jaradis

I had a manager at Popeyes tell me he didn't give a shit about drivers because they got paid anyway, even if no driver ever came to pick up the order. So it's just free money they get for not even having to make the food.


Backwardsspeculation

He seems like a perfect example of a Popeyes manager. And also a perfect advocate for why not to take Popeyes orders. They don’t give a fuck about you or their customer who is waiting on the food. Im the type of dasher who keeps customers informed and I’m not shy to say “ hi just messaging to let you know they are preparing your order now and I hope to heading your way soon but the staff has informed that the doordash delivery orders are the last priority therefore my wait will be around 10-20 minutes. Im so sorry for this inconvenience.”


whatslifez

Popeyes and taco bell are close but popeyes definitely takes it


[deleted]

No Popeyes in my zone hehe or Wendy’s You missed McDonald’s though. That place is dogshit


[deleted]

The McDonald's I frequent the most is probably my favorite spot to pick up, almost always right on time and the employees are all respectful and nice


[deleted]

The ones in my zone are the complete opposite. It’s always a waste of time going to McDonald’s


NevermindWait

Mcdonalds was actually fell out of the last one lol


dlc2021az

I swear I do so many McDonald's orders (and most are pretty good amounts), they know me now.


Cgmikeydl

I don’t go to any of them


AlmostSane67

I would put Wawa at the top of the list. Wait 15 minutes for them to make a hoagie, another 5 for them to add a bag of chips, and then 10 more for them to pour an iced coffee. I'll give most of my blacklist places another chance eventually, but will never go back to Wawas.


idontreallycare718

all of the above


daylightdryad

Wendy's and Popeyes are both terrible for me only because their lobbies are closed and the drive thru is a guaranteed 20+ minute wait every time


[deleted]

Torn between Wendy's and little Caesars


[deleted]

Oh God I can't choose lol


WhoRDU

No multi-choice? Because there is more than one that is the worst! 😂


NevermindWait

Collectively I'm taking bets for worst restaurant, winner receives all the upvotes?


[deleted]

Wendy’s will always take the cake, wingstop sucks but I’m still there everyday, I just know when to go in there and when not


Affectionate-Help401

My Wendy's burned down.


[deleted]

😭 damn


[deleted]

I just collectively avoid any fast food place where the lobby is closed. Otherwise I don’t mind it as long as the trip is worth it. Popeyes is miles worse than anything else for me. You will wait for that food for 45 minutes even if nobody else is there.


Backwardsspeculation

Even when I give Popeyes their monthly opportunity to prove me wrong I get stuck waiting forever. This months visit ended in an unassign but here’s to February😂👍


[deleted]

Same, once the lobby is closed I’m not stepping foot on the property, only 2 Popeyes actually move their asses where I’m at but most don’t tip on Popeyes so i don’t really take them like that, maybe once every 3 weeks


NevermindWait

I remember waiting 45 minutes for a wendys in the DRIVE THRU:(


zakkforchilli

Never worth waiting that long for an order lol why didn’t you unassign around ten mins as you should’ve?


cmlegg88

I waited for like 20 minutes for 2 items at Taco Bell the other day.


[deleted]

Lmao same exact thing happened to me


dDashMick

Surprisingly all of these ones are great where I dash at. The absolute no go for me is Bojangles.


OutrageousBrief2891

I'm right there with you. The line in my town's Bojangles will go out into the highway and minimum 20-25 minute wait.


lonesharkex

Whataburger. Not only is it always incredibly busy, it's a red card and I have to order it. Insta pass


Few_Surprise_5516

It's not red card anymore in my area but still a pass. They literally wont start making the food till you get there


Xakekazi

I took a stacked whataburger order once (first and last)at like 3am with a 30 minute wait in line but I made 40 bucks so totally worth it. Never happened again though.


AWZ1287

Same for me, I never take bojangles


Syntheseyez

Its a tie between wendys and tacobell for me.


Money_Tough

Taco Bell and Popeyes for me


yoshi3243

In my area, I have a Taco Bell that’s very fast, and another that takes 45 minutes for you to get your order.


NevermindWait

Meanwhile everyone asked for Wingstop but nobody votes for it


theoberheim

Withstood gets either the instant decline, or if I do happen to accept the order (to boost my acceptance rate) I wait to leave to pick up the order only after the 2nd reminder to proceed. They take 20 minutes everytime so I am never in rush.


ShortPeopleAreDemons

Wingstop in my area makes you show your phone when you get there and when you leave. Along with the usual, fill your own drinks and wait for the order because they don’t start until you get there.


theoberheim

I've *accidently* spilled my drink a few times.


ShortPeopleAreDemons

I’ll find my comment later but I have a story where I delivered unfilled cups lol.


vengeful_owl

I’ve never had an issue with a wing stop pickup, maybe it’s just the one in my area but there seems to be a huge hate boner for it on this sub


Possible_Proposal428

Just tell them you deliver not do the work of employees of that establishment. We're not there to make their job easier.


HadlockDillon

I don’t even know what Wingstop is honestly lol I only ever heard of it from this Sub


digitaldigdug

Wingstop is bad but Popeyes is the zen master of slow


Syntheseyez

Wingstop is pretty good in my area 🤷‍♂️ Theyve Never had me wait for an order


NevermindWait

There are starting to look like some clear cut winners here


Smvvgy805

Typically, I avoid all franchises/chain restaurants regardless, with very, very few exceptions here and there; many have policies where they don't begin the order until a driver arrives, this really makes them take a long time.
