Since we are all comparing barbecue to fast food, we need a soild reference of how everyone feels about fast food

rank the following: chick-fila, burger kind, mcdonalds, wendys, hardees, taco bell

for me:
chick-fila
mcdonalds
hardees
wendys
taco bell
burger king

if i threw in places like bojangles or cookout in there, they would be towards the top

you dont think chick-fil-a would be at the top every time?

6/2/2011 11:12:05 AM

Chick-fil-a
Hardees
Wendys (and their fries still suck)
Burger King
Taco Bell
McDonalds

Wendy's and Chick Fil A are the clear leaders. I would never go to McDonalds, BK or Hardees unless I was absolutely starving and there was nothing else in sight. I go to Taco Bell maybe once every few weeks or so, but never sober.

6/2/2011 11:12:16 AM

Aside from milkshakes (which are honestly pretty mediocre) cookout is fucking terribke

I always get it when I'm drunk because I remember it being awesome freshman year when I was drunk and immediately lose my appetite after the first bite

Chic fila
Hardees
Wendys (sorry new fries are terrible)

Only eat the others if its the only thing at a stop on the highway or somebody else wants to

breakfast
lunch/dinner

i hesitated putting it at the top, i can only do it on occasion or i get sick of it and their limited menu selection makes me not return for awhile. but when i'm in the mood for it, its at the top.

^talking lunch/dinner, not all of these have breakfast options

It really depends what I have a hankering for. If I want a burger and go to Chick-fil-a then I'm an idiot.

6/2/2011 11:15:35 AM

Chick-Fil-A/Wendy's
Taco Bell
Burger King

6/2/2011 11:16:14 AM

hardees at the bottom? do you hate burgers or something?

6/2/2011 11:16:20 AM

I don't understand the hate for Hardees. Hardees burgers are insanely better than most fast food chains.

6/2/2011 11:16:48 AM

LMAO

6/2/2011 11:17:24 AM

I never get burgers at fast food anymore. If I'm going to blow 1000 calories in one sitting, its going to be from a place that spent more than 90 seconds making my order.

6/2/2011 11:18:40 AM

Hardee's burgers are good in theory, but they are typically very dry whenever I get them, and now I am actually hestitant to buy them. Maybe its because I always order using the student special and they have a shit pile of burgers ready for me.

6/2/2011 11:20:21 AM

I used to love to fuck with BobbyDigital's cousin at the Hardees near Jax on Avent Ferry.

Wait until after you order to say "Student Discount" and they have to re-enter everything

Always made me laugh way more than it should have

6/2/2011 11:21:55 AM

I always use that student special shits cheap son. Thick burger combo large is like $5 usd dollar bucks. The fries there are so damn good. I would even put this shit above chic fila if chic fila didn't have the best sweet tea on tap guaranteed

Chick-fil-a
Hardees/Wendys
Taco Bell
Burger King/McDonalds



Hardees burgers taste really good, but they are all pre-cooked and sometimes seem kind of dry. Wendys burgers are good and moist even if it is all grease. So I have to rate those as equals.

6/2/2011 11:23:26 AM

I do not understand how anyone can put McDonalds anywhere but at the bottom of the list.

6/2/2011 11:24:30 AM

I can't remember the last time I ate at any of these places except for chickfila

6/2/2011 11:25:36 AM

Chic-fil-a
Wendy's
Hardee's
Tace Bell
Burger King
McDonald's

If we're talking breakfast, then McDonald's is probably at the top of my list. But I prefer the other places when it comes to their non-breakfast menu. I'm probably in the minority though. Arby's would probably be #2 or 3 on the list.

^^^
McDonalds beat Hardees only because of my intense dislike for Hardees, which is not entirely the fault of the chain but that's how it is

[Edited on June 2, 2011 at 11:26 AM. Reason : ^^^]

6/2/2011 11:26:22 AM

Chick-fil-A is definitely the best of the bunch

6/2/2011 11:27:17 AM

I have to categorize this into 2 rankings. Bc it depends on if I want chicken or beef.

Beef:
Hardees
Burger King
McDonalds
Arby's
Wendy's
Taco Bell
Chick Fil-A (who obviously has no beef to offer)

Chicken:
Chick Fil-A
Wendy's
Taco Bell
Arby's
McDonald's
Burger King (though I haven't tried their new nuggets yet)
Hardees

6/2/2011 11:28:22 AM

Wendy's
Chick-fila
mcDs
arbys
cook out
taco bell
kfc
bojangles
bk
hardees

6/2/2011 11:28:31 AM

For breakfast Hardees is by far the top.

In my town Hardees probably makes 80% of their revenue for the day before 10:30 am. Drive through line's around the building and at least 15 old men sitting in there at any point between 7 am and 10:30

[Edited on June 2, 2011 at 11:30 AM. Reason : And this is in a tiny town]

6/2/2011 11:28:37 AM

agreed

6/2/2011 11:29:11 AM

damnit, i did not take into account time of day

6/2/2011 11:30:49 AM

I really just ranked in terms of fries lol

I don't order many fast food burgers so I dunno

6/2/2011 11:40:02 AM

bojangles #1.

6/2/2011 11:40:28 AM

Never eat french fries. Besides a trivial amount of vitamin C, they're devoid of any real nutritional content. At least burgers have protein.

6/2/2011 11:42:44 AM

because when i think well balanced meal, i think fast food

plus, some hardees have sweet potato fries

[Edited on June 2, 2011 at 11:44 AM. Reason : e]

6/2/2011 11:44:16 AM

Lies divababy. Tacobell doesn't even have fries.

Hardees has the best fries by far. Its a shame they got rid of the curley fries...

6/2/2011 11:44:22 AM

chick-fila
mcdonalds
hardees
wendys
burger king
taco bell

Really the only way I am going to any of the places from Hardees and down is if I have a great coupon. Chick-fila will win nearly 100% of the time if it is in the area.

6/2/2011 11:45:56 AM

Chick-fil-a (once a week, at best)
Wendy's (twice a month)
Hardee's (4-5 times a year
Tace Bell (4-5 times a year)
tie between Burger King and McDonald's (haven't been to either to eat in 4-5 years)

6/2/2011 11:47:07 AM

Breakfast is an entirely different ballgame, I ranked based on burgers except in the case of Chick-fil-a. I had a burger at their Dwarf House location and it's a good thing they stuck to chicken.

6/2/2011 11:47:40 AM

I like chicken ok...

and mexican pizzas

Hardees used to have some bomb dot com best friend chicken

6/2/2011 11:47:53 AM

I like the quality of chick-fil-a, but it is not at the top of my list for 2 reasons: a) not one really close by, and b) It is over priced for what it is... I'd take Zaxby's over it 4 out of 5 times (unless it was a catered lunch or something)

Zaxbys
Wendys
Arbys
Taco Smell
Hardees (best fast food burger IMO, but everything else is meh)
Mcdonalds
Burger King
.
.
.
Bojangles

6/2/2011 11:59:46 AM

1. Chick-fil-a.
2. Zaxby's
3. Bojangles.
4. Arby's
then much, much, much further down the list is everything else.
Hardee's is the top of the next group because of breakfast.

Do we count places like Subway/Firehouse subs and Moe's as fast food?

[Edited on June 2, 2011 at 12:01 PM. Reason : WTF, forgot Zaxby's]

I wouldn't count subway and burrito places as "traditional" fast food joints.... while close, I hold them to a slightly higher credibility standard- which is probably because those are places that I have a false sense of healthiness whenever I eat there

6/2/2011 12:02:43 PM

i knew eventually the creative class would come in and start adding places to their lists

6/2/2011 12:05:31 PM

How do you people put that garbage into your body.

6/2/2011 12:10:41 PM

Disclaimer: Not saying either is fine cuisine.

I'm surprised to see McDonald's above Burger King on anyone's list.
