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.

I thought red hook made beer. And fish sammies? What a world.

Had my first popeyes in like 3+ years over the weekend. Chicken sammich is $5.99 now, hits pretty good still!

Hope to try the new whooper before the month ends; Big Arch is gone my my MCDs but is available at others, summavabeech

Dunno if I’ve ever mentioned it here, as it’s more FF adjacent, but Red Hot Ranch in Chicago is my all around favorite burger. For the quality, consistency, and price, it cannot be beat.


Double cheeseburger w the works and fries, 7.45 pre-tax. I think the fries are underrated too, they have the CRISP.

Hot and greasy, not much more to it folks.

BOGO free fish sandwichs from Carl. Today I re-learned Red Hook is still a thing.

What kind of thing is it?


It's a Carl's Jr. Deal. I got it on Saturday. It was pretty good!

Today, KFC had several deals for 4/20. $3 for two pieces of chicken or tenders. Also $6 Taste of KFC and various bucket deals.


Looks like today is the launch of Rick's new McValue menu.

RIP to the B1G1for$1 promotion.

Looking at breakfast, my local franchise has softened the blow by reducing the price of hash browns by 40c and the burrito by 50c. Still paying more if you get 2, but at least there is that. Sausage biscuit and mcmuffin also significantly reduced in price for single items.


Taco Bell has a reward in the app for a free taco with the purchase of any burrito, even the bean n rice. It ain’t much but it’s something in this harsh FF landscape.

LAME. Made sure to use up my points earlier this month. Jesus wept.

This may be regional or specific to you. Not seeing it in my rewards or offers.


Looks like Rick also took away all deals, this is devastating. Looks I’m going to have to be a Sonic man. [emoji24]


TB rewards are so good. I earn a fire tier reward almost every order, plus receive a bunch of other offers. Had a 20% off of $20+ the other day.

The very first iteration of the mobile app had some insane deals. They'd drop flat $5-$10 coupons and BOGOs every week.

I still have ~ the same deals, will see if that changes.

Rick is also trying to drive me insane by constantly logging me out of the app.


Throughout the year, McDonald’s will spotlight select Under $3 favorites at an even better price for a limited time nationally. First up: the Sausage McMuffin® for only $1.50 and the McDouble® for $2.50*.

So we're going from 2 double cheeseburgers for $4.79 with the BOGO deal to 2 McDoubles for $5. It isn't that big of a change, though you're paying slightly more to get one less slice of cheese on the McDouble. With the BOGO offer gone they have lowered the price of the double cheeseburger from $3.79 to $2.89 even though it is not part of the $3 McValue menu. Oddly the double is actually cheaper than the single cheeseburger now which is $2.99. The McChicken was already under $3 but that went from $2.89 to $2.19 as well.

All in all looks like Rick's will still be getting most of my FF burger business until some of the other places step up their game.


The pimento shack and a free chicken.


Not as good as the Kshack, you win some you lose some!

What kind of thing is it?

It was a pioneering craft brewery back in the 80's. Fairly common on the West Coast once distribution was allowed, we got it in Az by mid-90's. I used to love their Long Hammer IPA.

They still have a taproom in Seattle last I knew, but someone else owns/produces the beerz I think.

Do you know how much I love the fact that Raylon Givens is wearing a Jason Isbell t-shirt? Puts a huge smile on my face when I open this thread lately.

I thought the same thing. What an outfit!

The McDouble for $2.50, McChicken for $2.59, and Sausage McMuffin for a $1.50 no app needed, are excellent deals.
They will pair well with a 99 cent app coffee.

When do those get going?
