Favorite Fast Food Joint

[dougiezerts]

What's your favorite fast food joint? Or, to put it another way, what fast food restaurant can you most tolerate?
Mine is Arbys. I like their roast beef sandwiches (with horseradish sauce), and their Jamoaca milkshakes are very good.

[Salliem]

I don't eat at fast food restaurants.

Portillo's Hot Dogs,

Native to chicago... their italian beefs are extremely good

I don't either, as a general rule--except for Arbys.

I am ashamed to admit it, especially on THIS forum, but I vote for Jack in the Box. Once every couple of months or so I stop in.

i agree with ras. portillo's beef dipped 3x. i also have a weakspot for popeye's fried chicken.

In-n-Out Burgers and Jack in the Box.

I don't know if In-n-Out is elsewhere besides the CA and NV.

Ohhhh Yeaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

But can't forget the combo beef/sausage with hot peppers or the dog all-the-way!(with a cold frosty one of course )

Roy Rogers is by far the best, but they are rare since McDonald's bought them. There are only a few privately owned ones left, but I hear they are making a (small) comeback. The Gold Rush Chicken Sandwich is the BEST and the fixings bar is great for the burgers.

I have never eaten In-N-Out, but people tell me there is a place here called Five Guys Burgers that is exactly the same as In-N-Out.

I only eat fast food when I'm taking road trips with the wife, but my favorite is Chick-fil-a. They are amazing, from the quality of the food to the cleanness of the restaurants, to the friendliness of the staff.

Well just for the record we do our best to avoid fast food in every shape or form but then again we are human and still get the "craving" for some of it from time to time, but mostly we embibe whilst traveling. So since we're talking "Favorite Fast Food" joints....

I still like a couple good old fashioned "Sliders" whenever I get back to Chicago in addition to hitting a Portillo's. In New Mexico there's a place called Blakes Lotta Burger which is very good. Every blue moon or so I still pollute my system with the wings and a couple frosties from Hooters, Tom Wahls in Avon, NY has some great hots (hot dogs), Anchor Bar in Buffalo also has about the best wings anywhere, Lou Malnati's and Gino's East in Chicago for a "Pie" and can't forget The Varsity in Atlanta for a Dog and some "Rings".

Roy Rogers Huh? Haven't heard that place mentioned in a very long time. I've seen "Five Guys Burgers" a couple different times here but we haven't tried them yet.

[castironchef]

****.

I just realized that I really am a food snob. I don't eat at any of them, and don't have any desire, secret or otherwise, to do so.

I'm still a nice person, though.

I can't eat it anymore because of gluten intolerance, but my fast food craving would be Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Not too long ago on a gluten free message board we had a discussion on what you would eat first if there was a cure for celiac disease.

Apparently, there's going to be a rush on KFC's all over the country when the magic pill is discovered. LOL!

Fast food- I must agree with others in that I don't particularly care for it and try to avoid it (castiron, we'll still speak to you...lol)
but, I would have to agree with In and Out Burger (they have awsome fries too) but I will confess that I do eat Wendy's when my husband wants fast food, but I try to stick with the salads.
Alynch- we just had a Chik-a-fila (spelling?) just recently opened up near by- they were giving away free sandwiches in the parking lot of the mall nearby- not too bad.
Nantzie- Don't feel bad at all, after speaking with a couple of people who used to work at a KFC, I will never purchase it for my kids again. I heard stories of nearly spoiled chicken being washed with antibacterial soap or bleach and cooked anyhow (trying to avoid Salmonella??) Gross!

I eat fast food often and I hate it! The food is nasty, the atmosphere is very dirty, they're is tons of artificial colors and preservatives in everything! Soap in the KFC chicken? No wonder my mom always gets sick when she eats KFC! The thing is that the owners of the restaurants do it with no love of food but for the love of money. I do really like quizno's though. I always order their smoked turkey sandwich, will all the fixin's and a roasted red pepper spread, stuffed in a toasted parmesan garlic herb roll. Yum! Their salads are also spectacular too. The staff members are also very friendly and it's pretty healthy compared to the stuff served at McDonalds, Wendy's etc.
