Fast Food Thread

I like KFC's new fries. They are battered.

good call. they aren't bad. i was surpised

[tifosi77]

Once you have really properly good fries (like from a gastropub) fast food fries are all kind of trash. The only ones I actually like in any measure are well done fries from In-N-Out.

Not gonna lie, I still prefer the wedges. The seasoned ones they have now aren’t as good.

[NTP66]

I haven’t had them in forever, but Checker’s always had amazing fries.

Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich is criminally underrated, IMO.

Spicy chicken or just spicy mayo?

[faftorial]

Funny that nobody has mentioned Arby's curly fries in the fries discussion. That's probably because they're trash.

Was Rax as good as I remember?

Rax was not as good as Arbys.

There is 1 Rax left in Ohio or Michigan.

Spicy chicken.

I used to go to the Rax in East Freedom off of I99. Didn't they all have that classic look with the windowed in seating area opposite the counter? Similar to some old school Wendy's?

The Wendy's that was by Park City Mall had one of those but they razed it and replaced it with Popeye's a few years ago.

We’re getting a Cane’s soon. Anyone ever been?

They’ve got them in Kansas. We liked them.

Yes, multiple times in Columbus. It's probably the best fast food chicken tender out there imo. The sauce is elite.

[DigitalGypsy66]

My kids prefer it to Zaxby's.

My kids prefer it to Zaxby's.

I should hope so…

[Dickie Dunn]

Big fan of Cane’s. Zaxby’s chicken is good but their fries really test my “all fries are good” theory and toast instead of biscuits is bullshit, though Cane’s makes the same error in judgement.

[MR25]

Canes toast is great. I swap in extra toast instead of coleslaw.

By comparison, I had a chicken sandwich from McD's over the weekend and I was thoroughly unimpressed. It wasn't bad per se, but it was just kinda there.

That to me sums up pretty much all of McD's food. It's my least-favorite fast-food burger place, and to me all of the food tastes the most "prefabricated" out of all of those places. It's like school cafeteria food.

But man, 1am Saturday morning after an 8 hour alcohol bender it may as well be filet mignon.

Wendy’s was always my go to in that scenario.

In my experience, Wendy's was long closed by the time I wanted fast food.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Caines is good and i would mos def go out of the way to eat their foods if available.

[count2infinity]

Sweet... looking forward to it.

There’s also a Giant being built between my work place and home which will be really nice to have. The plan is to also have two fast food restaurants and a coffee shop.

I’m assuming the coffee will be Starbucks, but I’m curious about what the fast food spots will be. I doubt they’ll be a McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, or BK as there’s already one of each of those somewhat close by.

Maybe the McDonald’s is far enough away that it would go in, but I’m hopeful it’s something good.

[NTP66]

I was going to post that one, too.

[shafnutz05]

Holy sht, I had no idea there were still a handful of Rax locations.

[RonnieFranchise]

The $ item at Rax was the chocolate chip shake.

Cane's gets a thumbs up from Little franchise who at age 13 continues to be a chicken tender connoisseuse. There's one in Boardman if you find yourself up in the Youngstown area, which actually has a ton of crap we don't have in Pittsburgh (this side anyway). Popeye's (there's not one north or west of town), Dillards, huge brand new Meijer superstore, nice big Italian grocery store....

Edit: Holy cow there are still 8 Raxes! Why do I think I would probably find them disappointing?

Did you used to be in Youngstown? I could swear you were over there at some point
