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.

How you have to carry pocket cheese with you when you leave the house.

When I was a kid in the early-mid 60's it was a big deal to go the McD's on Rt. 18 near Old Bridge, NJ. If I remember correctly, hamburgers were $.15 and cheeseburgers were $.20. I do remember cheeseburgers were a nickel more because my Mom would always say: "for an extra nickel I'll bring my own cheese". Makes me wonder how much cheese cost back then. 😂


Gotta love Lent



Tried the caliente cantina chicken burrito at Taco Bell. It was one of the better fast food items I've had lately, actually had a little spice and a bit of heat. Would eat again, though at nearly $7 it was, as most non-value items are at the Bell these days, an absolutely terrible value so I probably won't.


1/2 price Sonic cheeseburgers Tuesdays after 5pm online or via the app.

I noticed in the past, Arby's included the cost of the Rueben in the $15 purchase requirement.

Lol, you should see my tax strategies.

BTW, Today's Taco Bell drop was a $1 Burrito Supreme. I forgot how good those things were. Sad they are normally terrible value. Oh, and yes I got it grilled.

Grab those Tuesday Drop deals!!! Available every Tuesday at 2pm pdt. They work great with a $1 happy hour drink.


may i be the first enthusiastically endorsing Mark_K as the universal choice to lead our milky way space force fast food franchise deployment efforts throughout the galaxy as we currently understand it


Wendy's emailed me about $1 Double Stack and $1 JBC.

Last time Double Stacks were $1, I saw a guy come in and order 7 -- while confirming if he could do that. Pretty sure he was going to eat them all himself in one sitting, and he was a regular sized dude.

Very disappointing that this time it's limited to 1 and its with additional purchase.

Next Tuesday's drop looks to be a Mexican pizza!

I'd guess Wendy's - no clue on the cost tho, if I'm correct.


Heavy sauce... I like it!

I'm unfamiliar with these, do you have to buy it on that day? Thursday is my TB day.

You need to activate the deal in the app on Tuesday at 2pm PDT exactly. You have about 30 seconds before it sells out. You then have the rest of the day to use the deal.


In-N-Out...


Do any of you guys watch Reviewbrah ( I know most of u do fwiw)

His skeptical sarcasm meter has been off the charts for 2025 so far for the new FF product releases.

Are we now at a point, in FF history, where there won't be any more new quality FF releases that are also affordable?

I can forget about it then. I have about zero chance of remembering and getting it done.


Arby's Crispy Meal Deal for $6.99 seems like a decent price, if you were planning on getting the soda anyway. Crispy Fish, FishnCheddar or Chicken sammich, large curlies or tato cakes and a large drink. I think I noticed yesterday that lg cakes are $4.99 alone.

At participating U.S. locations for a limited time. Tax & fees extra. Price may vary in AK/HI. Meal includes one sandwich, a large drink, and large fries or potato cakes.™ & © 2025 Arby's IP Holder, LLC.

And then there is the whole use the app part of it.

The Bell just does not want P4B business.
