New fast food discussion/review thread

OK OOT, it's been a while since we had a devoted fast food thread around here and I think it's time we had a new one.

Qdoba near my house closed for remodeling. Not that I go there much, but I'm having trouble imagining how remodeling makes Qdoba a better experience.

They're being prepped for less dine-in seating, less employees, and more apping.

They want you in your car, leaving, and don't really care about the inferior product being given to you by the overworked skeleton crew.


A couple weeks ago, my Burger King got remodeled. It looks great except they took away over half the seating. idk. There's lots of elbow room now.

Also, after the California fast food wage hike and corresponding price hike the Whopper Wednesday $3 Whopper deal is starting to look like an amazing deal!


Told ya!

You nailed it.


Culvers has new bacon. It's thicccc.

I was considering a Wendy's lunch (singles 2/$8 in app) but noticed that the nearby Culvers was offering single bacon deluxes for $3.50. Cheaper and with bacon too? Sign me up!

It definitely makes for a more bacon-forward experience, but I liked it. A+, would eat again.


****in' hell yeah you'd eat it again. We all would. That meal is like Manifest Destiny. Look at that burger? Bacon'd up. It's Bacony every day at Culvers.

Dang, 20 years already? RIP indeed.

But I think (ldo?) JJ are targeting stoners. Big week for those that celebrate.

Yeah, JITB is advertising Pineapple Express shakes and having some kind of free something till 4/21.

My BK had some kind of problem with storm damage last summer. They are taking their sweet time rebuilding/remodeling it. There's no activity around it, I'll be shocked if it's done in less than a year.


My BK was remodeled in 3 days. Scary fast when you see all the work completed.

Floors, walls, lighting, tables

But then again, awhile back my local TacoBell was torn down and rebuilt on a different part of the lot in less than a week. I have no idea how they got all the permits and inspections done that fast.


Yes, I watched a McDonald's get torn down to the slab and rebuilt in a few weeks. It looked pretty much the same as the old one. I don't know why they did it unless there was some structural reason, termites, etc.

As usual, McMuffin is correct. I did eat it again. I downloaded the Culvers app to see if it was of any value and I noticed that the menu price for the bacon single was $3.50, so I could feast again.

Seriously, this bacon is a game changer.



I tried raisin canes today

Breading was better than i expected
Chicken with the sauce is great
Texas toast was fun


do you grip it from the tips like reins?


Good thru 4/21 from Wingstop:

Boneless Wing lovers, don't miss your last chance to get yours sauced and tossed in our limited-time T.H.C. (The Hot Chili) Rub — a blend of herbs and peppers with a hit of spice. Comes with a side of seasoned fries, House Made Ranch, and a 20-*oz drink. Contains no cannabis, THC, or cannabis derivatives.

Cheeba Hut (LDO?) is doing a bunch of specials today, also, but I don't have their ad handy.


Lol 5G forever. May never go again.


^^^^ Today, outback has a deal of buy $50 in gifts cards, get $20 in bonus cards. I bought $200. They gave me $80 in bonus cards. 😀

Also, It's Whopper Wednesday!!! (It was good)

today you're one guy surfing tough
riding out backs of whopper waves
narrowly escape four rip tithes that buoy profit


Noticed the Qdoba was open again. Stuck my head in, didn't notice much in the way of changes. Maybe a couple fewer tables, but still plenty of seating. I think a new floor, but didn't seem different in any other way.

Maybe it was just time to clean it up a bit?

Today only, Chili's is offering $20 in bonus cards with $50 in gift cards.

Chili's bonus cards are almost identical to cash.

Maybe the major work was kitchen related?


Franchisors require periodic “refresh” of all locations for most models-generally it involves both front and back of house and it depends how long the period is how extensive the changes may be


There is no longer ANY double cheeseburger deal in my Rick’s app and they are now dead to me.

No 2 for $4 deal? I don't think it shows in the app deals.


I have daily app deal FREE double cheeseburger or 6 pc nuggets when you buy one

Yeah, this is the deal that disappeared for me.

Mark,

Best that can be managed is BOGO +$1 for two McDoubles. But, a man’s got to have some scruples.
