July 26, 20187 yr Ever have to hurriedly crumple up and hide an empty Whataburger bag in your car, before you get to the Whataburger drive-thru window? The boss move is to hand the cashier your previous Whataburger bag to toss in the trash. It’s like recycling - it’s science. Well, that's when you get the Monterrey chicken strip sandwich rather than your usual #4. Seriously, man--what the fuck's wrong with you? It's like I don't even know you sometimes. I’m underwhelmed by the Monterrey chicken sammich. You know this. And when I need to mix it up when hitting drive throughs, you know I like to find someplace with boudin balls. Like Krispy Krunchy Chicken.

Not much meat on the chicken these days, and the spicy is bland. I still like Popeye's. I know why Subway remains in business but it's absolutely terrible. I'll vote for Smoothie King. They just put one on the corner of Lovers/Inwood in Dallas just west of the Park Cities and there's never anybody in there. Oddly enough it replaced a Jack in the Box.

July 26, 20187 yr Cheddars has excellent onion rings and a big house margarita for pretty cheap. This old guy doesn't go to McDonald's or any of the joints listed on the first page, so I know nothing about any touch screen to order shit.

July 26, 20187 yr Man how fucking fat are you that your order at Taco Bell costs 12 fucking dollars.Bro. Gotta pick up food for the week
July 26, 20187 yr Ever have to hurriedly crumple up and hide an empty Whataburger bag in your car, before you get to the Whataburger drive-thru window? How fucking fat are you that you pick up a whataburger, eat it en route to the next whataburger up the road and eat it again?
July 26, 20187 yr How fucking fat are you that you pick up a whataburger, eat it en route to the next whataburger up the road and eat it again?You grabbed a Whataburger breakfast after your plane landed and you headed to meeting/hearing #1. Then you have to head to another town for meeting #2, and you grab Whataburger for lunch. Or the combo is a rushed lunch, then dinner while driving. So, there’s a pause between meals. But it does get old.

July 27, 20187 yr And that’s a good thing. Made me think of Magic Wok on the drag in the mid 90s. King pao cat, rice, egg roll and a drink for $3.71. Scary. Fify

It's not like you're stuck in suburban hell with only chains to choose from. You intentionally drove past legitimately good restaurants to go to Chili's. Not really much of an excuse in the burbs anymore either. Plenty of good independent restaurants and local chains like jack Allen’s, hopdoddy, torchys, etc.
July 27, 20187 yr Applebee'sApplebee’s is usually open very late, which makes them popular with local industry folks.

July 27, 20187 yr Applebee's doesn't suck if you eat at the bar. And by "eat at the bar" I mean "get drunk before they bring your food."Applebee’s had 50 cent Ritas Tuesday night. My drunk in-laws invited me and I politely declined.

July 27, 20187 yr A friend from Australia just posted this. A half dozen of his buddies chimed in that it has the best fajitas on the planet. WTF.

July 27, 20187 yr A friend from Australia just posted this. A half dozen of his buddies chimed in that it has the best fajitas on the planet. WTF. I don’t know Australia, but I do know brazil (and have read about this kind of thing in other places). A lot of chain food in other countries is better quality than in the US and usually offer food that is similar to local taste and culture. The only time I have ever eaten at Applebee’s was in Brazil. And I fought tooth and nail not to go, but several of us have kids and they had a play area. Fine. I ordered a typical grilled meat plate found in Brazil. It sucked compared to what you can find in an actual Brazilian restaurant, but way better than you would find in an American chili’s or something similar. When I first started dating my wife when I lived there, we went to a TGI Friday’s. We ordered some nachos. Absolutely the worst nachos I have ever had. Worse than the cheap ones you get at games.
July 27, 20187 yr Yeah well, Truck stops(Autogrill) in Italy have better food than 99% of American chain restaurants. Some of it looks plain and simple, but it legit kicks ass. Simple question, why can't we have these in the US?
July 27, 20187 yr Quote Took my kid to Magic Time Machine up in Addison about 5 years ago after her first day of Kindergarten and it still goes down as the worst meal I've ever had in my life. The meal I had there about 15 years was probably second worst. I've got no idea how that shit hole stays open. LOL. Growing up, this was one of those magic places that we never went to because we were the poors. When I moved my own family back to DFW last summer, this was one of the first places I was going to take them. Looked it up online, and I'm not sure I've ever seen a place so completely destroyed by reviews. Another disappointment (and place I always wanted to visit as a kid) - was called Trailhouse Steakhouse. I think that's the name. Place where they cut your tie off or somesuch. It's closed now.
July 27, 20187 yr Cheddar's was the shit when they had the monte cristoThat was Bennigan’s. Had some good times at the Tyler Bennigan’s when I worked up there.

I took my kids there once and will never return.

July 27, 20187 yr Subway survives because they have dick for overhead, and they're fucking everywhere. You can be in the middle of buttfuck Nebraska, and that exit is going to have Subway. There's nothing more than mediocre about it, but I'll stop there because I can get a much higher volume of food per calorie than McDonald's. A 600 calorie turkey footlong will fill me up, and I won't feel like dying. 600 calories at McDonald's is half the amount of food, plus violent stomach craps in 60 miles. Arby's is alright. It's fake meat, but the curly fries are legit. I've personally never understood why McDonald's is so popular. It's a worse burger than literally every other fast food place and the fries are wildly overrated. The value menu is the only attraction. Same with Taco Bell. Just fucking garbage, but it's cheap garbage.

July 27, 20187 yr Not sure what Popeye's locations some of you are going to but the last two I went to sucked ass. Chicken was over cooked and greasy as hell. Cedar park and Round Rock on 1431. I will never go back. I have had better chicken at the gas station.
