US fast food chains. Should we have more options here?

quantity V quality comes to mind!

TBH Supermacs > Wendy's

And supermacs is poor. Never had Wendy's, but apparently I'm better for it

I'd swap the rest for a cinnabon.

Wendy's will just be another greasy burger joint, why would you want to try it?

Fair enough, but it's not like it's going to be some out of this world food.

Five Guys …….. great fries. Wendy's is coming shortly.

Last weekend I was in Applegreen, Paulstown and had a BurgerKing. Burger (2 patties of meat), salad toppimg, Tea and Fries for less that 7 yoyos. Fantastic value.

Was just in Spain and they have carls jnr there. In UK we have Wendy's, wingstop and taco bell.

Taco bell I thought would be a great extra choice.. But it's just same same and if I want Mexican, an actual Mexican restaurant is better, hence I've been once in 2yrs and it's like a 10m walk away. Wingstop does good chicken so I'll give them a pass alright. But they expensive.

The rest.... Meh.... We don't need them

Been to a lot of em.

Taco bell but only once.

It's all trash.

I'm a fan of chipotle and Qdoba though, burrito places.

Now that Supermacs is no longer trying to compete on price with McDonalds and Burger King and the like I’ve found the quality has improved, and I’d far rather visit one of them as a treat over the others. The burger is tasty and cooked fresh, the chicken tenders are lovely, and the garlic and cheese chips are pretty good.

The decline of the local chipper over the past 20 years has been stark. The Italians made their money and got out. It’s now all terrible stuff coming pre-battered and chipped from the back of a truck.

The only Cajun is out in Douglas boy

I’d been hearing about KC’s for years on this site. Made a detour there last year and ordered the King Creole. I was pretty disappointed tbh. Still far better than the absolute horrors my MiL serves up.

Its a chicken kebab in a pita from a plastic packet, there's a ceiling, that pita is a sign of poor quality

Youd made better at home than any of these places

Slightly off topic, but The Founder is up on Netflix now. It's about how McDonalds got started. It's really good.

A Big Mac meal is now 9.50 or something, often comes out cold, and you are hungry an hour later. For a few quid extra you can get a gourmet sandwich or burrito with a drink. They just aren’t as appealing as they once were.

And no longer fast either.

He's in for an awful let down.

I was never a big fan of a Big Mac but downloaded the app some time back because the youngest lad lives near to a branch and is fond of the chicken nuggets. The first Big Mac I had in decades had me scratching my head wondering wtf attracts people to them.

You can get a Big Mac and medium fries for 3.90 if you fill out the survey and write the code on the back of any receipt and to be honest that's about what they are worth, the patties aren't even related to real beef and the bun and lettuce are woeful.

Thankfully there are a few chinese takeaways near him too.

That sounds like good value, their gravy is beautiful. The only time I get KFC is maybe twice a year in Manchester airport.

You can add a drink to the gravy mega-box for a euro. My daughter is fond of KFC.

Wendys burger and fries better than McDonalds -

Shake shack in NYC is decent, maybe the experience of eating in the city, In and out pretty ok
