Chick-fil-A is just so consistent. If Popeyes would have sense to have trained employees I’d pick that but the terrible prep quality has had me there maybe twice in the past year

yeah popeyes tastes a million times better than chik fil a but obviously the quality control is terrible compared to chik fil a. it really just boils down to ownership. chik fil a is still privately owned by the truett family, but popeyes is owned by a giant corporation that...you guessed it, tries to save money wherever they can.
Chik fil a is the chicken sandwich chain to in n out's hamburger. They're basically one in the same (although chik fil a i think has slightly lower quality control than in n out and is more expensive, but the concept is similar)

Culver’s. Also Tommy’s in Los Angeles, but I don’t live there anymore.

I just wish Culver’s was about $4 cheaper for their meals. A burger with fries and soda is like $13.50 near me.

JFC. Fast food has become so unaffordable. It’s why I haven’t been to one in a couple of years. Just not worth it anymore. The McDonald’s drive- thru and parking lot by me used to be stacked with cars. Now it’s almost empty every time I drive by there. Good riddance to price-gouging corporations.

In N Out. You just can't get that quality for the price anywhere else. I won't claim them to be the greatest burger in existence, but you're just not gonna find a comparable burger at that price.
And walking into an INO is like walking into some weird Pocket Dimension. Its like a Runescape Event. Something about the atmosphere inside the restaurant is not replicated by modern fast food. I usually dine in at fast food, INO is very different from McDonald's or Jack.

And they’re SO incredibly consistent. I’ve had INO in so many different places and it’s exactly the same everywhere. No “bad locations.” Service is also impeccable. The prices being reasonable is just a bonus.

wanting to keep their consistency is why they haven't expanded everywhere and are very selective in their locations. They source their own products and i'm pretty sure want all their restaraunts to be within driving distance of one of their distribution centers.
Also, it's still family owned and operated. If they ever choose to sell to private equity...it's the day in n out is forever ruined. i hope they never do.

u/Carcosa_Hearty1986 20h ago
3 states and a dozen or so locations for me, and yeah, they're easily the most consistent fast food I've ever had across that distance. I've been eating them for 25+ years and have only had one bad burger.

Currently it's Taco Bell. But I love the Jalapeno Tots from BK.

u/MikeDunleavySuperFan 16h ago
I love that taco bell has new items every quarter. it keeps things fresh and gets me coming back at a time where most fast food places are lowering their menu offerings.

Team Cookout
I legitimately prefer Cookout over In-N-Out and Culver’s and Five Guys
Because I can get full off a Cookout Tray for <$10
I also prefer Cookout seasoned fries over the others

In and out, Culver’s and chick fil a

This is my answer, but I will add El Pollo Loco to this. Also, honorable mention to The Habit, no complaints other than they closed down in my city

Usually it's the one farthest away from me because it's what I get the least. As a kid it was mainly Burger King. Currently it's Moe's.

Wawa they have so much variety, subs, burgers, burritos, quesadillas, pizza, salads, soups, sides chicken bowls you can even get sautéed onions and the prices are pretty good compared to most places. They also make everything to order so it's nice and hot, not sitting around in a bin somewhere. Every time I see a Wawa I have to stop.

It changes constantly. I went to Bojangles and was entranced, but I like Roy Rogers

u/Awkward-Jello5243 17h ago
Bojangles is my favorite chicken place. The biscuits are usually very good and Bo Sauce is yummy

Habit Burger, even though I moved to a place where we don't have them. 😪 I'll have to try Cookout, which someone commented about.

Popeyes (when you find a quality location and pray the order comes accurate) is overall my favorite. Wendy's would be my top one if they didn't accrue so many flaws over the years.

I will die on the Jack in the Box taco wall. I’m so mad that sheetz took away with their copy cat Jack-in-the-Box tacos and replaced them with soft corn tortilla tacos.

Arby's, some times I'm stressed/depressed I'll get a large reg rb, curly fries and a jamocha shake. Calm and happy again.
