The Burrito Buggy did kick ass. There were a few good buggies when I was down there. That, a gyro/falafal (sp) one and a burger one that had an awesome jalapeno burger. Lot of good "on the way home from the bars" options.

Chipotle isn't overrated to me. I love that place. I eat there once or twice a week. Qdoba is ok but not Chipotle or at least the one in my area isn't as good.

I'd love to try In and Out Burger, 5 guys, and Fat Burger.

I don't eat Mexican food so I can't really rate any of the restaurants fairly. I do think Panera is overrated. I'd rather not pay $7 for a grilled cheese when I make a better one at home.

If I AM going to rate fast food I'd go:

Five Guys (Not sure I really consider it fast food, though)
McDonald's
Arby's
Wendy's




Burger King
Taco Bell
Chipotle
Panera

I seem to always just get an ass ton of rice with one or two chunks of meat.

Shoveling rice is definitely their forte.

I love their rice... also I feel like I never get short changed on the meat aspect. I'm usually very polite and to the first person in line as they usually put the meat on. I make it a point to ask how their day is... I find it always pays off to engage individuals in conversation; if they think of you as a person rather than just a customer they tend to give you more.

You don't ask the other workers how their day is? You're an inconsistent customer!

Love Chipotle.

In-N-Out Burger is the one place that I have to try before I die

Agreed. I am just not a fan of traditional fast food though (McD's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, etc). It really doesn't taste that good, leaves me feeling unsatisfied hunger wise, and just makes me feel lethargic after eating it.

But that's just my opinion, and I guess a lot of people actually like that.

Not that it's not solid beer ... but for that price, you can get better.
It's one of the best beers I can get in six packs for $8.99 or twelve packs for $15.99. Maybe I'm shopping at the wrong places but I haven't really found anything else that's a much better price at that quality.

Unless you meant on tap.

Us too. I can't remember the last time we ate it. It must have been when my kids were in elementary school...years ago.

If anything on this board In and Out is overrated. I had it, it was good, but it wasn't OMFG good like everyone else is making it out to be. I would say it is equal to Five Guys, just depends how one felt that day I suppose.

I don't necessarily mind fast food but I don't eat it much anymore at all. My post about McDonald's was more just about how I think it's the worst of the big 3 places. (Wendys, McD, and BK)

It's obviously personal opinion but I really do think McD's is the best. I LOVE their fries (Wendy's suck unless they're hot, BK's are horrible no matter what) and I love their double hamburgers. I don't get anything fancy (Big Mac, Baconator, Whopper) ever so I am going off the basics here. You can't beat McDonald's fries, IMO.
