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.

Omg

Bennigans

omg u r taking me back in time (90s) to late night happy hour, cheap burgers and meeting random weird hot chicks during late night happy hour.

I have not seen an open Bennigans since the early 2000s.

I may have to do a TR for Bennigans - Pakistan

Spoiler
Show

NOT! But I appreciate u bringing up a blast from the past!


It's probably been a month since I've had ff. Crappy weather has turned me into a hermit, can't even be bothered to turn the car on for free fries Friday.

I've booked a shift ton of camping trips starting May, so we'll be back on the wagon in no time.

Big Mac not QPC unless it's one of those things it tailors to your purchase history. It's been in the deals for a few weeks now.


wendy's dave double 2 dollars and daves single 1 dollar on the app

i find this to be acceptable.

Speaking of the Red Head, they intend on introducing Uber-style surge pricing in 2025. WooHoo.

this is going to fail miserably and just piss people off.

Just check out their FB account now rated at 1.1 stars with tons of pissed off people. I won't be visiting any time soon even though it's one of the few fast food places I go to. Gotta send a message how this **** is already out of control everywhere.


Classic corpo tactics, Wendy’s is now walking it back saying they never meant it like that. Shenanigans.

Ha. Well better to admit your mistake than dig in deeper.


Better model would be to (quietly) have high normal prices, and have surge discounts. Baconator is now 27 bucks, but on a random Tuesday afternoon at 3p, it's a steal at 11.99.

Followed by the next stage, where they do it anyway and deny that they're doing it if anyone questions it.

The goal is to just get through the shitstorm and reap the rewards.


the ghost of dave thomas wonders why one would ever announce higher prices as a good thing
and that $2 dmatz lip slap burger is a thing of beauty


I just got my Wendy's $2 double. The burger was great if you like things well-done... :( I might even describe the burger as a little "crunchy".

Exactly
Happy hour type stuff.

Or BOGO in the app

Or BOGO using receipt survey offer

Local Mickey's stopped having receipt survey offers many months ago.


OMG so many deals today!

Free Big Mac at McDonald's
Wendy's renewed the $1/$2 single/double deals for another week
Habit has a free shake deal


I bought a double cheeseburger at Sonic yesterday and lucked into a 2 dollar discount, I guess just for Feb 29. It wasn't nearly as good as the old Sonic burgers I remember.


Chicken katsu from Maison Katsu in the H-Mart food court (Mesa).



how much did that set you back? 7.99 w/out drink?


2x that, plus another $1.50 for the green tea.


so a $20 meal
almost looks like you could split it with someone, or is that camera distortion


Not a lot of value, I guess, but quite a bit of food. With some kind of appetizer, I'm sure my wife and I could split it and call it a good meal. Today, I ate all the chicken, the soup, most of the rice and about 1/2 of the coleslaw, as a late lunch after several hours of work in our datacenter.

I spent some time in Osaka for work 20+ years ago. This most closely matches the katsu from the Kintetsu dept store 5th floor katsu place that we ate at frequently for lunch. Still love it.


Grabbed a $2 Dave Double today for the first ff in quite some time. That's a great burger.
