Sorry guys but McDonalds looses by default because their best menu items are only available from like, 4 - 5am until 11am and that's their breakfast stuff. Every morning if you want a McGriddle you go into McDonalds and if it's breakfast time that McDonalds is PACKED with a million people, a line going out the door, everybody's yelling and screaming. If you get there at noon McDonalds is a ghost town. McDonalds signs should say "100 Billion Served Hot Cakes"
As for Burger King, I've never had a burger from there that didn't taste like it was burned. I can't stand their burgers but I like their chicken sammiches, their fries, etc. I likes me some Taco Bell too but I only have a couple of things that I like from there.
My favorite fast food place is a toss-up between either Sonics or Roy Rogers.

Since the introduction of the Cantina burrito, Taco Bell at least finally has an item on their menu that tastes like something other than an assemblage of sour cream, beans, b-grade cheese, and chemicals. Bully for them.
But they're all kind of scary. The comment about eating kosher made me go, "Hmm, is that right? Because some white bread products contain milk." So I looked it up, and no, Burger King buns don't contain milk, so far as I can tell... But they do have something like sixteen freaking ingredients, and that's if you leave out all the crap in parenthesis.
Guys, you can make really good bread with, like, six ingredients. I'm telling you, this is scary.

Burger King hands down. McDonald's sucks, the burgers have no taste and the fries taste like limp spaghetti. Taco bell has no meat in it, nothing that tastes like meat.
You are all wrong, Wendy's is the best. Unless I happen upon a Wendy's that is having a really crappy day, they have the best and freshest tasting food around.Firefilm said:
The mention of value that was discussed, Wendy's has kept the same value on their value menu over the years. It is still 99 cents for a five chicken nuggets, while at McDonald's(at least the ones around me, don't know about anywhere else) they've taken one nugget away and it is a dollar of only four nuggets.
I am a little bias in the area that I really only eat chicken, but I think it gives me a nice side prospective. The big thing in the last five years or so was that almost every fast food chain came up with their own version of a chicken wrap. Wendy's has the wraps that hands down. If I get the choice on where to go for fast food, it is going to be Wendy's to get chicken wraps. The value is definitely better there too compared to McDonald's.
A chicken wrap at Wendy's in my area is a $1.79, while one at McDonald's is $1.69. "Well that McD one is 10 cents less," you say. Yes it is, but when you compare the size of the two, you'll see that the McD wrap is only 2/3 the size of the Wendy's wrap. I normally get two Wendy's wraps, so that is $3.58 before tax. Now, if I go to McD, I would have to get three wraps to equal the amount of food I would get at Wendy's, three comes to $5.07 before tax, that is a $1.49. So if I go to Wendy's, my money goes further. But, lastly in this matter, I hadn't mentioned that the chicken in the Wendy's wrap is a half of one of the whole chicken breasts that they used for their sandwiches and it is 99% of the time(from my experience) cooked just right. On the other end, we have the McD wrap that the chicken in it is always over cooked and it looks like they took one of those chicken select strip things they used to have and put it in the wrap instead of a proper good section of chicken.
On Burger King, I really can't say of late, since I have been to one in three years at least, but I remember that the food was overcooked most of the time.
I don't do Taco Bell because I don't like beef. I know they do chicken stuff, but I don't like grilled chicken, I like my chicken breaded. I know I'm picky and strange, but that is just the way I am.
Oh, and Wendy's also has the best combinations I can make, it also falls into the me being strange category, but whatever:
You get a chocolate frosty, an order of fries and chicken nuggets, and then when you eat the fries and nuggets you must dip them in the frosty. I'm guessing it is the combination of sweet and salty, but it is amazing.
I like KFC too, but they downright expensive compared to going to Wendy's.Scarim Coral said:
Oh and to add a little fast food history:
Dave Thomas was a good friend of Colonel Sanders, and before Dave went on to found Wendy's, he helped turn around four failing KFC franchise restaurants and sold them back to KFC. When Dave founded Wendy's the Colonel gave him a side chicken recipe that was slightly different form the Colonel's main recipe.
I think that's why, besides KFC chicken, Wendy's chicken is better then all the rest of the fast food places, because it has a good bit of the Colonel's recipe in it.
That study would have when differently if they had used the Taco Bell that my family use to frequent back in the day.RJ 17 said:Just to bring some actual numbers into it, apparently a study was recently conducted on this very topic and Burger King came in last as far as wait-time is considered with almost four minutes between placing the order and getting your food as well as only getting orders made correctly 83% of the time.
It would regularly take at least 10 minutes of waiting at the window, and if they forgot something, at least another 5 or so minutes waiting while parked to the side. There were a few times when my family had to wait 25 minutes. It must have been the laziest and worst run fast food places I have seen.

I had never heard of Five Guy's until one opened up in my city(in the Midwest US).KingofallCosmos said:
As far as I know it was really only an east coast restaurant until now. So, I guess they are moving west. Hmm, maybe they will take the long route and move far enough west until they make it all the way around the world to Europe.
I'm not a beef person, so really the only thing I like that they make is their fries. Oh, though they do make a mean grilled cheese sandwich, lol.
I'd say it just depends on the area the McDonald's is at, cause the one in the town I use to live near, it is packed with near round the clock customers. They got so many customers, they renovated and made it bigger, then they added a second drive-tru order line(though that was just stupid, because both lines funnel into one cluster-fuck of a line going to the two windows on one side).Shoggoth2588 said:
But I agree, if I go to McDonald's, it is going to be for breakfast. If Wendy's experiment with serving breakfast had succeeded, I would have never have went to a McD's again.
Still waiting for @PsychicTaco to show up.
But as to the best fast food chain, I'd like to say the worst. I choose McDonald's as the worst. Why? Because they can't keep consistent flavor. In Poland, McDonald's tastes so good, Americans wouldn't eat as much of it here. I came and said, "What is this shit!?"

Honosty is the trait of literate peasants!ritchards said:
Yeah, I disagreeded with it as well. Every Hardee's/Carls Jr that I've ever been too takes no less than 10 minutes per order, while I can't say I've ever had to wait too long at Burger King....though the 83% order correctness does seem to be accurate in my experience.Sonic Doctor said:That study would have when differently if they had used the Taco Bell that my family use to frequent back in the day.RJ 17 said:Just to bring some actual numbers into it, apparently a study was recently conducted on this very topic and Burger King came in last as far as wait-time is considered with almost four minutes between placing the order and getting your food as well as only getting orders made correctly 83% of the time.

A taco is never late nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.Living_Brain said:
So yeah, imagine my surprise when the taco I use for my avatars appeared in the thumbnail! Color me surprised!
OT: I have to say Taco Bell of course, but I also enjoy Wendy's (Burgers are pretty good), McDonald's (Fries and the Chocolate Chip Frappe) and Subway (More healthier than other fast food)
Special mentions to Chick-Fil-A, Bojangles and Cookout!
Del Taco is my "anytime" spot when I want a quick bite, hit or miss on quality but the one near me is good every time.
I live in Southern California and a local place which is God Tier in my opinion is Legends Burgers. I've never had something from there that wasn't excellent.
I never order dessert from fast food joints but when I do end up going there (A little expensive and a very large portions.) I always end up getting a banana split because they're so damn good.
Other than that, Western Burgers from Carl's Jr. Fries from McD's. Avoid Subway like the plague. Allergic to Wendy's. And El Pollo Loco when I want chicken.
Sweet sweet El Pollo Loco

Five Guys. Seriously, if you have never had a Five Guys' burger and fries (They put fries in a large Styrofoam cup, and then dump another cup load into the bottom of the bag, they are that good) then you have never lived.
