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.

Yeah I heard that too. They taste the same to me.


In my personal ranking of FF French Fry's, I put CFA somewhere behind 'getting hit by a bus'. Nut low fry IMO.

But it's okay if you like 'em. Not hating.

One of the best burgers I've had recently came from Buffalo Wild Wings. $12-$15 typically depending on what you get, and they're BOGO on Mondays and Wednesday right now.

Talked myself into today. Ordered their lunch combo for takeout.

Double Cheeseburger
Fries
20oz Drink
Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie

$14

Bump, in case you forgot.

Since I got the spam again

Did you try one? How was it?

I didn't know they had burgers. Is that a McDonald's sized burger, or a real restaurant-sized burger?

Not the best pic, but I thought it was a good size.



Break out your bottles of Jameson (h/t dadboner) for the return of the Shamrock Shake on Feb 10.


I remembered to get the Whopper for 3.99 deal.


I want some fries now...


I just loaded into the CFA app my 3rd free chicken sandwich of the week! Rolling rolling rolling!

I also see that Carl's Jr is giving away free hang-over burgers on Monday.

How do you keep getting points, or whatever, if you never buy anything?

No purchase is required. The only tricky part is knowing when the deals are active so you can open the app to load them. There is a subreddit solely about the CFA deal. Also a slickdeal thread.

The Carl's Jr deal also doesn't require a purchase. You just need the app.


somehow my son of baconator tonight was only $3 in the app

I didn't ask questions

Never confuse the employees!

Especially the ones at the bottom of the food chain. Or the top of the fast food chain.


Free Carl's Jr. Hangover Burger tomorrow (Monday)!!! In app, no purchase required.



Hangover burger! It reminds me of a renamed Big Breakfast Burger.



They should call it Nightmare Burger.

It's actually been that for about a week. I had a couple over the weekend.

They still have the Breakfast burger which I liked the one time I had it. The Hangover was that with white american cheese instead and some special sauce that I didn't even notice. I was looking forward to this since I don't go out during breakfast very often. It was ok but the price was right.

It's crazy how much Carls advertises and they are always dead. I guess you don't have to have volume when your burgers are $10 and large combos are $16.


Tonight after 5pm only (??) Sonic is offering 1/2 price cheeseburgers in the app.

Yeah Hangover had a type of swiss and special sauce. Breakfast burger has american and ketchup. The two tasted almost identical.

I love free!! The wife feels guilty and wants to buy a drink or side.

and she knows this is exactly what they want you to do, correct?


Coldest day in Phoenix (65 F lol) so they've got 1/2 price shakes* at Sonic today.

*Each Classic Shake and Master Shake® is half price. Valid only on Wednesday, February 12 at participating SONIC® Drive-In locations while supplies last. Excludes limited time only products. Tax and add-ins cost extra. Discount will automatically apply. Not valid with Combos, delivery or any other offers.


I skipped the 1/2 price burgers last night in favor of grilling my own at home, but a shake just might have to happen. There's a Sonic close enough to my work I could walk to it(I won't because I have a car...and I'm lazy) so maybe a lunchtime treat.
