I enjoy chicken strips and coleslaw from Long John Silver's. The chicken is always hot and freshly prepared at my local. When I have a craving for Tex-Mex I go to Taco John's. They use actual meat unlike Taco Bell. The taco salad is my favorite.

Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuits from McDonalds. They couldn't be worse for you, but a couple of times a year, I indulge.

Popeyes rice and beans...cooked in lard allegedly.

The BEC biscuit is the only item from McDonald's that I crave.

I love a Whopper with cheese. More than any of those fancy burger joints. Otherwise no fast food really appeals.

Krystal burgers, with cheese. So bad for you. Soooo damn tasty.

A&W teen burger with a side order of onion rings.

Spicy mcchicken sandwich at McDonalds

I didn't know Long John Silver still existed. Interesting that you go to a fish joint for chicken.

Sometimes, all that gets me through a day at work is knowing I can stop at Taco Bell for a Chicken Chalupa.

I used to get a Double-Decker Taco with it but they took that away from me.

Bastards!

What in holy hell is a “teen” burger?

Chicken McNuggets with Hot Mustard Sauce. I smell them and start to salivate.

McDonald's: Filet O Fish, McChicken, and large French fries. Diet Coke.

Taco Bell: regular tacos (love the shell) and bean burritos. Fire sauce. Taco salad.

Jack in the Box: curly fries. In drunken days, used to like the bacon cheeseburger.

Burger King: original (oblong) chicken sandwich and French fries (prefer to McD's FFs).

I am not fat but I used to be.

R13 It appears that a teen burger is a bit larger than a mama burger, but smaller than a papa burger. But a double teen burger is the same size of a papa burger.

R13, A&W used to (or perhaps still does) have items on their menu like a "momma burger" and a "papa burger", and if I recall correctly, a "baby burger". I never heard of a "teen burger" on their menu. It was just in reference to the size of the burgers, whether it was a single or a double, etc... I worked at an "old school" locally owned A&W in the early 90's, but their menu has changed a lot since they merged with KFC, nothing like they were originally, especially their chili sauce. They also had a "mozza burger" on their menu, which was basically a cheese burger made with mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar, thousand island dressing, bacon, lettuce and tomato. Those things were the bomb.

Penn Station. Their steak sandwiches are cooked to order, their fries are cut and cooked to order, and they offer fresh made lemonade to wash it all down.

I miss when Long John Silvers briefly had breaded fried shrimp wraps on their menu back in the 90's. Those things were *enormous*, and came stuffed with shrimp, vegetables and a spicy creamy sauce of sorts. I never understood how they were able to turn a profit off of selling those. One of them was easily enough for two meals.

I sometimes like a Sausage McMuffin and a large coffee from McDonald's. Or a roast beef sandwich from Arby's, with lots of pepper and horsey sauce.

Asian Chao's bourbon chicken. I'll usually order double the meat, ditch the fried rice and ask for a double portion of their cabbage stir fry with vegetables. They're found in mall food courts.

Krystal Chik burgers. Like ½ a CFA sandwich.

R4, I would regularly grab a Whopper Jr., with no cheese or mayo for a quick lunch. At only$1.50 at the time, it was a decent deal - plus you're getting some vegetables in with the fresh tomato and lettuce on it. I always had my own bottled waters in my car. I skipped the fries too.

The sweet plantains from Pollo Tropical. In fact, anything from there really. That's one thing I miss from living in Florida.

Mr. Hero's chicken Philly sandwiches. I don't recall them putting mayo on them back then, as is listed on their site, but they promoted they fact they were only 7 grams of fat per sandwich. The swiss-american cheese melted on them was awesome.

2nd the Taco Bell taco salad. It's wondrous. Fire sauce, of course. Other favorites from there are the soft tacos and the potato soft tacos. Mmm.

McDonalds: Like the original Egg McMuffin meal with the hash brown; occasionally I'll split a 10-piece with hubby or get a strawberry sundae.

Jack in the Box: only the original crunchy fried tacos with the American cheese slice. Mystery soy meat, who cares.

Wawa hoagies and hot foods.

Jersey Mike's Philly Cheese steak.

KFC Coleslaw

Have you ever been to Penn Station R18? If you have you'd never eat anything from a place named after it! It's a horrible warren of low-ceilinged tunnels that smell like piss and diesel.

R18, I think you must be a neighbor. I like their chicken teriyaki sandwiches, and fresh lemonade.

If I'm on the road and it's breakfast time and I see a McDonald's, I'll be in line ordering an Egg McMuffin. Love 'em! I sometimes make them at home too but they don't taste as good as the ones that McDonald's makes.

There is a fast food place called Penn Station!?!? Weird - talk about a bad brand name.

R28, I've never been to the actual Penn Station, but the Penn Station restaurants are impeccably clean, and the food is very fresh. I go to the location in Solon, OH, fwiw.

R28 there’s a pizza joint at Penn that’s pretty darn good. I do agree about Penn being dismal, though.

Waiting for the artisanal chicken salad on baguette flown in from Lionel Poilâne's bakery in Paris queen to rhapsodize....

Hardee’s chicken biscuit w/cheese, if I’m up early, also their mushroom Swiss burger, which is delicious.

Hardee's biscuit with sausage gravy.

Frisch’s Big Boy with onion rings and coleslaw. Hot fudge cake to split with friend.

Wendy's had a dollar menu in the 90s. As a broke college student I could make a hot and relatively healthy meal from a baked potato and a small chili.

I love that Wendy's brought back their taco salads, I always loved those as a kid, back when they had their salad bars.

They should bring back Wendy's Superbar.

KFC coleslaw is my favorite ever!

Quick meals at hotel bars in Paris and Rome.

Taco Bells taco and chicken enchilada

Chipotles chicken bowl/burrito and black beans

Mcd's egg white breakfast sandwich and sausage egg McMuffin/biscut hashbrowns

Wendys used to have a good and cheap caeser salad

Pizza Hut used to have good breadsticks and little caesers crazy bread.

Ugh, I used to be into these when drunk or high in HS and college.

Long ago, I liked the spicy and crunchy fried chicken livers at Popeyes.

Livers were removed from the Popeyes menu decades ago.

I occasionally crave a McD's breakfast bagel (steak) or a Filet o Fish.

I can usually somewhat enjoy Arby's and Taco Bell.

And before I boycotted them, I liked Chik-Fil-a's sandwiches.

"If you think life is meaningless, wait until you check out death. Actually it’s exactly the fucking same. Never mind. Eat Arby’s"

I know it’s wrong but the original chic-fil-a sandwich, soup and diet lemonade are delicious. Shame meal.

Long John Silver's fish and chips. My favourite location has an all you can eat special on Sunday evenings. They cringe when they see me coming. It is also an A&W so you can get a root beer along with your fish.

Cracker Barrel (not exactly fast food, I know) but my perfect breakfast is their biscuits, sausage and cream gravy.

If I can't get to Cracker Barrel for my junk food breakfast, a simple Sausage McGriddle will do the trick.

If I see live sports I treat myself to a coke and to one of those nachos with the liquid cheese.

r52 they cringe when they see you because your obese arse makes dents in their chairs!

McDonalds: Sausage and egg McMuffin and a hash brown. Three ketchups. Filets-o-Fish -- super cheap on Fridays during Lent.

Wendy's: Double Cheeseburger and chili.

Del Taco: Queso loaded nachos, no beans, extra beef, add jalapeños.

Subway: Tuna salad, provolone, lettuce, onions, cucumbers, mustard, mayo.

Carl's Jr/Hardee's: Sausage gravy and biscuits.

I have one of these no more than once a month or two, though. Generally I cook at home and eat well.

At Captain D's you can ask for "cracklins," or crunchy shards of fish batter.

There are still a couple of Roy Rogers at rest stops along the New Jersey turnpike. Their roast beef sandwiches with horseradish sauce are still fabulous. I also like McDonald's steak egg and cheese on a bagel a couple of times a year.

OP's diarrhea wrap is new to me! I don't know Taco John's

Taco John's is small but widespread. There are 393 locations in 22 states.

I hate myself for this, but a McDonald's hamburger is a real treat.

Hey fat whores! KFC is serving chicken and waffles!

Cheese on a stick from Hot Dog on a Stick.

Who truly makes the best milkshakes in the USA?

I do, bitch. My milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard.

I don't get why people hate on Arby's so much, lol (I'm looking at you, Stephen Colbert).

I get a little defensive about it, since it originated near my hometown. Granted it's nothing like it originally was back in the 70's and early 80's when my parents would take me there. For example, they had the roast beef under a heat lamp, and would slice it to order, visible to you from the counter. A basic roast beef sandwich there is only 360 calories, and their signature Arby's sauce goes great with it.. They used to offer a version of their classic roast beef sandwich with lettuce and tomato as well, I forget what they called it on their menu.

However you can basically get it in the form of their roast beef gyro, along with tzatziki sauce, which is definitely a fast food guilty pleasure of mine.

I worked at a Burger King back in the early 90's, right around the time that fast food places were being pressured to publish nutritional information of their menu. This was also around the time the whole "fat free/low fat" craze was in full force. I think most people didn't realize that their grilled chicken sandwich was just as fattening as a Whopper. The processed chicken patties came in pre-cooked, and covered with what looked to be like shortening. At the time, their grilled chicken sandwiches were also prepared with the same amount of mayo they would use on a Whopper.

The things sold as “Philly Cheesesteaks” by some of these chains are... not Philly Cheesesteaks. Why do people in Kansas think cheesesteaks come with peppers and mushrooms?

I miss Blimpies. I liked their Blimpie Best and the seafood sub.

McDonald’s - sausage biscuit with egg, my fast food guilty pleasure. Love their biscuits and tasty greasy sausage.

I love a tasty, greasy sausage. 😏

R71 well of course you do

McDonald’s pancakes and sausage. I have not had them in over a decade but I used to prefer them to homemade or diner pancakes. I also actually prefer “pancake syrup” to real maple syrup but don’t admit this.

McDonald’s Shamrock shakes - green and glorious

Culvers chocolate frozen custard with brownie mix-ins

I confess: I do love a spicy chicken biscuit with extra honey.

[quote] Who truly makes the best milkshakes in the USA?

Of the fast food places, the Wendy's Frosty is the best, IMO.

Taco Bell: Nachos Bell Grande, Mexican Pizza

Arby's: French Dip and Mozzarella sticks

Little Caesars: Crazy Bread

McDonalds: Big Mac, Chicken Nuggets, Fries

Wendy's: Chili, Frosty

R77 I wouldn't quite consider the Frosty a milkshake, even though it's somewhere between a milkshake and soft serve ice cream. Steak 'n Shake has a huge assortment of huge ass milkshakes. They also have great burgers! I eat there MAYBE once a year. Some may argue it's not fast food because you get a server, but it's fast food fare for sure.

I love Steak 'n' Shake burgers but the fires are those horrible little matchsticks. I also like the chili 5-way.

Arby’s Beef and Cheddar sandwich. I love the taste of that artificial orange goo.

No one has mentioned Dairy Queen yet because their food is garbage.

r84 I figured everything at Dairy Queen was microwaved so I have only bought ice cream there

R84 - let me be the fat queen to admit it. I eat their garbage, but I don't call it a guilty pleasure. It's fastfoodarific. Thoroughly craptacular!

Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich, fries, and a Frosty. Hardee’s greasy as hell sausage, egg and cheese biscuit.

Philadelphia briefly had an upscale burger joint called 500. The burgers were divine, the fries were cooked in truffle oil and milkshakes made from scratch. It was $20USD, but so delicious. They closed up a few years ago...

McDondalds- Double Quarter Pounder with cheese, French Fries - which are still the best

Wendy’s-Spicy Chicken nuggets

Burger King- Whopper Jr.-

Roy Rogers- Double cheeseburger with horseradish sauce

I never eat whatever meat they are serving at Taco Bell’

Subway - Roast beef foot long

There is a Steak ‘n Shake in the FLL airport. What a treat!

R91 can you "Takhomasak" from the airport?

That's White Castle not Steak 'n' Shake.

Speaking of White Castle the only time I've eaten there was on a road trip through Indiana. I had to pull over and vomit afterwards,

Steak & Shake also sells their burger seasoning blend at their locations, which is actually quite good. They also sell bags of ice - it was kind of silly getting a bag of ice at their drive thru, but I've done it from time to time.

Dairy Queen used to have decent food at their "Dairy Queen Brazier" locations, back in the 80's at least. Their burgers and fries were great, as were their foot long hot dogs with cheese sauce.

These days though, their "Grill & Chill" stores suck, though. Their burgers taste like pre-cooked patties that were just warmed up in a microwave.

The KMart cafeteria in the late 70's/early 80's. Your cheeseburgers were cooked to order. They also had a small deli and ice cream stand up front, and would sell 5 pack bags of ham sandwiches - chipped ham, shredded iceberg, yellow mustard, on a bun.

What would inspire one to ask for a bag of ice at Steak and Shake drive thru?

I got put up in a small hotel for work and their ice machine wasn't working. I had a craving for Steak & Shake, but also wanted some cocktails afterwards back at my room, when I discovered this.

Victor's Taco Shop is a regional chain in several Ohio areas & has a great cantaloupe drink (with ice added but it's not a soda) but it's not listed on the speaker menu at my local restaurant. I just discovered it years after it opened (I don't know why several of their drinks aren't on there but now you know if you're in the Ohio area). Their Mexican food is also enjoyable. The prices are higher than Taco Bell but you get more on your plate for the extra $.

Happy Daz restaurants (3 in Lima Ohio & several in surrounding counties nearby)

have veal sandwiches & other dishes named after Happy Days characters.

Aranchiini (Sicilian Rice Balls) with meat, cheese, and peas from my little local Italian fast food place. Also, I will go there for something as simple as spaghetti and meatballs. They make the best sauce (or red gravy, if you prefer) that I have ever had in my life, way outclassing some very expensive Italian restaurants.

[quote]These days though, their "Grill & Chill" stores suck, though. Their burgers taste like pre-cooked patties that were just warmed up in a microwave.

There's a Dairy Queen near me that used to have the best fries I've ever eaten. It was worth buying one of their mediocre "warmed up in a microwave" burgers just to get the fries that went with it.

At some point, quite recently, the fries turned to crap. They're now pale and undercooked with a nasty, rubbery texture. There's no point in buying anything there now.

Portillo’s - Big beef sandwich with hot peppers 🌶 and cheese fries 🍟 or onion rings on the side.

Jack in the Box’s $6 Munchie Meal. I prefer the Sriracha Curly Fry Burger. The sandwich comes with two tacos, a healthy helping of curly and standard fries and a soda. Available all day (but $8 before 9 pm).

[quote]Steak & Shake also sells their burger seasoning blend at their locations, which is actually quite good. They also sell bags of ice - it was kind of silly getting a bag of ice at their drive thru, but I've done it from time to time.

I’m starting to wonder if Steak and Shake is on their way out. Apparently they’ve been closing a lot of their locations recently, including the one that was about a mile from my house.

R104 Thank you! Dairy Queen has the worst fries hands down. They should be ashamed to even sell that shit. And their hamburgers are gross and their ice cream is too damned expensive. The only thing I ever get from their now are banana splits (and even that’s rare).

I love pizza even shitty pizza like papa johns or dominos

First off, I think "Guilty Fat Whore" could be a great authenticated handle. Take it, OP. I also want to throw my hat in with R109 and add that sometimes I must have a Taco Bell 5-layer burrito. Extra nacho cheese sauce, please.

While we're on the DQ subject, I love the Dairy Queen's large Hot Fudge Malted Milkshake.

1/3 lb Creekstone Burger, Juicy Italian Beef (Italian beef dragged through the au jus), American cheese, Homemade Sweet & Spicy Mayo. Served on a Sesame Bun. Add Hot peppers or Sweet Peppers, served on a Sesame Bun

This thing was to die for.

Romanburger from Mr. Hero. A burger with fried salami, swiss american cheese, mayo, and their house dressing (it's basically a vinaigrette with herbs).

Is there any actual dairy in Dairy Queen soft serve?

The same question about McDonald's shakes. They used to be very good. Now they seem like they are all artificial and tasteless.

That Mexican fast food "chain" (Ohio) at R101 looks good. There's a small Mexican fast food chain in my area, too. I always order the same thing: smothered (gravy) burrito. They make fresh (or seems like it) salsas / pico de gallo, so I load of up on those, too. Comfort food.

They closed down Long John Silver's. This fat whore is not rejoicing. 😭

r116 I hope not all of them. I go there once a year but I still would miss it. Nobody admits they eat there but we only have one in our area and it has been there for over 30 years so somebody is eating it.

R116 & R117 They closed down the one in my town too earlier this year.

r114 the McDonalds vanilla ice cream cone is like 170 calories so it's a good treat that's low in calories and fat. Probably ice milk?

Lately I have been making pizza using white bread and pasta sauce.

Try toasting an English Muffin, then covering it with Pastorelli Pizza Sauce and shredded Italian cheese, and microwaving it for about 20=25 seconds to melt the cheese.

^It's better if you use a toaster oven or put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes.

I like the Daily Double at McDonald's, not to be confused with the McDouble. The Daily Double is not available at all locations. It costs about $2 and has lettuce, tomato, two patties, cheese, mayo, and maybe something I'm forgetting. It's like a small Whopper.

But doesn’t McDonald’s make their burgers with that notorious pink slime?

I am going to eat an edible and come back to this thread.

Pollo Loco chipotle burrito. So good - and not horribly unhealthy.

R123, say what? I'm McLovin' you right about now. Thanks for sharing!

Cracker Barrell is every bit as cheap as McDonalds so I would definitely but it under fast food. I just wish there were one Inc New York.

I get the BEC on a biscuit on occasion but I always substitute the real egg (from the original McMuffin). For some reason they make the biscuit and McGriddle one with that imitation “folded egg” which is...kind of ick

Slim Chicken's honey BBQ tenders with cayenne ranch sauce.

What? No Bojangles fans!? Come on!!!!

Lion's Choice is a midwestern chain that has REAL roast beef sandwiches, crispy fries and drink machines with crushed ice. I'm in heaven whenever I go there while visiting my mom in St. Louis.

I used to like DQ's charbroiled burgers but the quality isn't what it used to be.

More recently I really liked Shake Shack's burger and/or chicken sammich.

Smashburger in Denver has great burgers and shakes. I like the swiss mushroom burger with the truffled fries and a chocolate shake. They bring the shake in one of the old metal canisters like the old days and it more than fills the glass.

I love Jack in the Box's Chicken Fajitas.

Falafel or salad plate, with the whores and working class in European city red-light districts.

Jack in the Box egg rolls, tacos and one of the burgers. A multicultural feast!

Do they have Freddy's where you all live? Kind of like an old fashioned diner type focusing on burgers, fries and soft serve ice cream. Great stuff! They have fry sauce that is kind of like a remoulade, too.
