Menu Hacks – Got a secret menu trick or custom creation? We want to see it.

Throwbacks – for nostalgic ads or discontinued favorites.

Rants/Raves – for strong opinions, good or bad.

Questions – Ask the community for recommendations, advice, or opinions.

Deal Alerts-Share limited-time offers, coupons, or app deals.

Memes because why not? Life is short and fast food is funny.

Comparisons – side-by-side comparisons of similar items from different chains.

Polls-you can now create polls

Discussion Are McDonalds sales way down?

93 Upvotes

They just announced they are lowering prices, and all their competitors are offering much better deals. I'm having lunch at my local Micky D right now and the place is a ghost town. Used to be crowded AF for a weekend lunch.

My partner got one yesterday after not having one for awhile and was shocked by the tiny bag of chips and the much smaller sour cream.

When did this happen?

Question(s) What is the best but worth unhealthy fast food Sandwich.

1 Upvotes

I know most fast food sandwiches are unhealthy. I would say The double down from KFC was my favorite and the meat mountain from Arbys I did feel guilty eating them but they were so good.

Discussion Double quarter pounder with cheese for 4.19 or two whoppers for 5.99?

0 Upvotes

I'm getting hungry and I don't want to cook. Bk and McDonald's both have good deals going on. Which would you choose?

I was thinking if i get the double quarter pounder i could just make a 2nd burger because I got buns at home.

Another thing that weighs on my decision is being charged extra for cheese on the whopper

I missed the chance to try out Captain D's on a recent trip south. (Side note: Zaxby's was great) I am a fan of LJS and would like to try Captain D's at some point as well. Anyone have a good comparison to share?

Wanted to get the groups thought on this under rated snack.

I actually really enjoyed these. Rye bun. Teriyaki grilled onions, burger patty and a cheddar sauce.

I guess it was only meant for a limited run, but they really need to bring these back.

Discussion Which Fast Food Places Have Cheapened Their Ingredients Do You Think?

70 Upvotes

After COVID and higher recent inflation, a lot of food companies (whether restaurants or packaged foods) have used tactics like shrinkflation (giving you less for the same price) and/or skimpflation (giving you lower quality/cheaper ingredients for same price) to trick customers into thinking everything was the same as they were giving you less.

Shrinkflation may be easier to spot with an instant eye-test, but skimpflation may take a little longer to notice. You may feel something is different with the taste of your food item from the past, but unsure if it was just a bad day for the cooks or your own taste buds being off. But, over time, it becomes more and more clear that the old ingredients/taste are just not the same. By then, you’ve already spend four or five visits to that restaurant and realize it’s happening everywhere with all foods . . .

What fast food places have you noticed skimpflation post-COVID? Which ones, on the other hand, have kept the same quality?

For me, I think McDonald’s and Chick-Fil-A still taste the same. Dominos (maybe not true fast food, since they prep longer) has gone to hell, as everything seems cheaper in quality and the taste just sucks. Dominos does run lots of cheap deals, but the pizza quality is so bad now that I’d rather not even go with low prices.

Discussion Jollibee - Very Tasty Chicken, but Massively Overpriced

15 Upvotes

Who else agrees? $16 for 6 piece of 3 legs/3 thighs.

Mango pies are amazing. Also overpriced. $3 each.

Spaghetti is just gross. And why order a burger there at all?

Needs to bring back Halo Halo - one of their best items.

Service is usually friendly.

Discussion Check out my Royal Crispy Wrap from Burger King.

Post image
37 Upvotes

Did you know that you can play a safe version of Russian Roulette at any Burger King if you go and order one of the Chicken Wraps? 1 out of every 6 will always be such a disappointment. Like the type of failure that will have you questioning your own choices that lead you to eating at Burger King. A Stockholm syndrome situation, or self gaslighting. “Is this MY fault?”

Keeps life worth living, that thrill. That rush. That energy. The wrap itself is absolute trash overall so even if it’s made perfect, it still sucks. Like a fast food B Movie. It will never be amazing because of its very nature.

Maybe I’m self destructive, maybe I’m a glutton for punishment, maybe it’s Maybelline. I still buy them. And I regret every single one.

Learn from my mistakes.

Question If you could only eat at one fast-food spot every day, which one would you choose?

82 Upvotes

My girlfriend eats at Taco Bell almost every day. She even worked there for years, so she’s racked up tons of rewards points and usually cashes them in for free items—her go-to is the Luxe Box.

If you had to pick one fast-food place to eat at every day, which one would it be?
