Food and Drink What fast food places do you just totally ignore? - Page 7

**loochy** · 03:20 PM

People in GoChiefs' Taco John's thread got me to thinking about what fast food places I actually eat at and which ones just get totally ignored by me.

Places I actually eat at:

Chick Fil A
Whataburger
Braums
Taco Villa
Taco Bueno

Places that I never even consider...they don't even cross my mind when I drive past them:
McDonald's
KFC
Taco Bell
Waffle House
Panda Express

What places just go totally ignored by you?

edit:

Long John Silvers goes on the ignore list
Waffle House goes on the ignore list
Subway goes on the ignore list

I also tend to avoid Burger King because of ... you know ... flavor.

I avoid Little Caesar's because it's like eating in the school cafeteria. You can tell that everything there is the absolute cheapest thing they can buy. I figure they're out there whenever a semi overturns on the highway to buy the stuff that fell off.

I avoid Waffle House because it brings back bad memories of my next door neighbor growing up.

Yeah Little Caesar's is pretty bad. Like you said, it tastes like the cheapest shit you could possible eat. The cheese is like rubber.

Speaking of Popeyes: Popeyes and KFC are places I'll only go if they're running some kind of special. I just can't bring myself to pay their full menu prices for chicken. If I'm going to shell out that much for chicken, I'll wait until I'm near a Pollo Tropical and get it from there.

I should add KFC to my list. The last time I was there (probably 5-6 years ago) I ordered a 3-piece chicken dinner. It was more like a 3-piece pigeon dinner. I couldn't believe how scrawny the pieces were.

I tried giving KFC a chance. I liked it when I was a kid, but that was in Texas and Virginia. I have gone in probably five times in the last three years here in California. The last time I walked in I looked at the prices on their menu board, laughed at the register guy and walked back out.

Is it expensive? The last time I had it was when I was a little kid.

Subway is probably the place I completely steer clear of, that bread is horrible, you could break a window with the loaf they gave me one time. smh

We have two Subways in town. Which is weird because it's a dinky little town. The one by our house is actually pretty good.

Yeah. It is ridiculous.

You ****ed that up. Spicy + a biscuit and you're hooked.

I like Panda Express and Chipotle, but hardly ever eat fast food anywhere else. As far as places I've never even considered.... In-a-tub (even though there's some weird powered cheese cult around here), every fast food chicken place (it's just chicken... at least you hope so), LJS, and several more I can't think of because I completely ignore them.

Subway
Jimmy John's
Burger King
McDonald's
Checker's
KFC

True story from last night. I've lived where I currently am living for about a year. Last night I was driving home and happened to look over at the Chick-Fil-A. I then noticed there was a KFC two doors down. I avoid it so sufficiently that I had forgotten it was there.

Bewbies · 04-10-2014, 03:40 PM

Burger King, Hardee's, Pizza Hut and Arby's never get money from me.

Yeah, their prices have gone through the roof. You're better off dashing into your local grocery and grabbing a freshly cooked box of their chicken. The last time I ate at a KFC was when they first came out with that Double Down sandwich (2010 according to Wikipedia). I'm just not going to pay 17-20 bucks for 8 pieces of chicken and a couple of sides at a fast food restaurant. That's basically 20 bucks for a small chicken and some potatoes and corn.

Weird, KFC has Sunday chicken specials here for $10. Very reasonable.

I never eat A&W, or Long John Silvers, or Captain D's, or Church's Chicken. And I have them all fairly close to my house.

I had ribs from Arthur Bryants for dinner last night. Yum.

Lion's Choice

So far as I can tell, a fancier Arby's, but I've never seen a promo or coupon from them. My unlce brought some to a moving day and it was pretty good, but no urge to go there and buy full price roast beef sammies.
