There's a topic on another forum that is getting pretty "churchy", the restaurant in that topic is Chic-Filet. My question is, of all of the "major" drive through places, what would be the first pick ? I personally think DQ has a pretty good product .

The chicken sandwich that ruffled feathers across the country brought to you by Popeyes is my go to unless the line is winding through the neighbor's fast food lot. If time is not a concern I enjoy Waffle House, the whole sticky atmosphere where you know everybody by the time you leave and you can watch them cook for you. The wife and daughter just dont understand, they joined me once and said it wasnt for them so now I know where to go when I dont want to be found

Probably Chic Filet, there food is darn good for fast food.  I just tried one of Wendys new chicken sammys yesterday and it was good.  I really like Culvers chili.  Good for quick, cold weather food.

We get all the fast food coupon sheets in the mail and I keep them on the front seat of the truck.  Just gotta stop and decide what I want that day.

Chic-Fil-A is tops in my book. Some of the Dairy Queens are good, some I avoid. It seems to depend on who the franchisee is. Same thing with Popeyes. I love their chicken but won't put up with the crappy service at the local ones. I have not eaten at Wendy's; Burger King or Mickey D's in over 20 years. I prefer a mom & pop restaurant for good food and service. Got a place called Blazers in the next town over that has some tremendous wings, I love the Raging Cajun flavor (they will burn you twice LOL).

Chic-fil-A is good, wife loves the Mac & Cheese, DQ’s some good some not, but all are slow slow slow.
Whataburger is overrated.
Burger King or Wendy’s for the burgers.
If I do stop at McDonalds, never ever purchase anything with beef.
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

We have a local  burger joint called Bronco's Have the best French fry's of all the drive ins
They take fresh potato's cut them and store in cold water till they are fried a golden light brown. the fry is still soft. They have a great pork tender loin, occasionally the loin is twice the size of the bun.

Another I like but it's not really fast food is Fuddruckers.  They used to be lots better but they are still a superior burger.  And you can put on what toppings you want and how much you want.  Heck, you could make a side salad if you wanted to.

When they first started out you could watch them cut and grind the meat, and make and bake the buns.  They also made some goodies and had hand dipped ice cream.  Sadly, none of that anymore!

For us, it’s Chic-fil-A, good food, great service, nothing in their service or quality has changed with all the 19 changes, almost all the others have let food quality go out the door

Would like to try Chic-Fil-A, and Popeyes. There aren't any very close to here unfortunately. Have to think to stop at one while on the way somewhere (and don't go anywhere very often!) The town I work in for fast food, has McD's and Burger King. Couldn't support a Timmy Ho! I guess Subway, but you can't eat that and drive.

i have in the last few years REFUSED to patronize Name Brand Chain based food shops.  Will hunt around for Mom and Pop diners, Small SINGLE family or group operations.  Enjoy Hermann Deli for quick Bites Tastier and CHEAPER than McyDs, frequent the 'Corner' in Rhineland MO as has the ABSOLUTE Best Fried Chicken since my Great Aunt Passed I have had.  For sit down better grade dinners go to White Mule Winery Rosebud MO or to Stone Hill's Vintage House restaurant here, in STL when or if we go and when COVID is not afflicting the general populace go down on the Italian Hill area for some Refined Italian Flavor, best around AFAIC.

Surely prefer a mom and pop also, but when you're in a hurry you're in a hurry.

Culver's really isn't too far away, but it's not a direction on the way to anywhere I go.

Just had my first Chick-fil-A experience last week.  Had to wait in line quite a while but it seemed to be worth it.  Will try it again sometime.  Good chicken nuggets (white breast meat) and good mac n cheese.

Runza is bread dough filled with hamburger, onions, cabbage, along with some black pepper, and baked.  It's a german's from Russia dish brought over with the immigrants.  It's a local chain, they are everywhere in Nebraska, the place also has really good hamburgers, fries, and onion rings.

A Runza just opened in what was a Jack in the Box in Longmont, Culvers opened there a couple years ago.  Hadn't heard of either until they opened.  Will have to try Runza.  I liked the Teriyaki Chicken bowel at Jack in the Box but get nearly the same thing at Costco for less money, 6 to a box.

Hardees/Wendy's offer a " X/X$$" meal, to my knowledge Culvers does not. The Wendy's 4/$4  can NOT be beat BTW WinkWink , And they are my third choice after Taco Bell ($$/filling).

For a good burger, it seems fast food joints have all gone to the SMASH IT FLAT AND FRY IT FAST.  I liked the Angus burger McDonald's had and also I liked the mushroom and swiss that Dairy Queen had but sadly they don't offer them anymore.  If I want a good mushroom and swiss I go to Chili's, not fast food but worth the wait.  Still can't beat McDonald's fries but Freddy's does a good job and their sauce has horseradish in it.

My retirement routine is I hit the McDonald's drive through and grab a sausage biscuit each morning. Not much else anywhere. Will sometimes get some Wendy's chili. Wife think Chick Fil a is the best thing since sliced bread. Me not so much but they do have good milk shakes.
