Current Events > What is the most overrated fast food restaurant IYO

(+) Yeah! (+)

tbh I think it's Chick Fil A

Relative to how I view it to how other people view it...

Chick Fil A has good grilled chicken (as far as fast food goes) and good sauces and good milkshakes, the rest is average at best.

---

I'm leaning towards Wendy's. Every burger I had from there was cold and I had to take it home and heat it up. And their chili is garbage.

---

Burger King.

---

chick fil a. it's not the overall worst one but people i know go nuts over it and it's mid af.

5 Guys

damn I forgot to put that in the poll... I've had it so rarely that I forgot it even existed

---

I'd say McDonald's. I know people who speak about McDonald's like it's undoubtedly better than it's peers(Wendy's, BK), and it's really just not.

---

I voted In-N-Out because East Coast people shill the hell out of it even though it tastes like not even mid-tier for fast food standards, probably below Sonic and well below Wendy's.

Chick-fil-A is probably second because people worship this chain and even though it is pretty damn solid, it's not worth the worship some have it. It has objectively bad ice cream, shakes, and it sucks at baked chicken. It's nugget and chicken sandwiches are solid for their cost though, I must say, but it's really just the cost to quality ratio that makes it stand out.

Also, Chik-fil-A's Mac n cheese is absolutely insane. I have no idea how a random fastfood chicken joint has better than like 99% of restaurants Mac n cheese, but they somehow nailed it.

---

Taco Bell...
They never put enough meat in anything.

I don't hear people praising Smashburger too often, but I do sometimes, and it's some of the worst food I've ever had.

---

I'm going to say In-and-Out. They're burgers are decent but the fries are 100% flavorless no matter how much you dress them up. Dealbreaker.

Honestly if I have fast food at all these days it's gotta be Wendy's. I can't even remember the last time I had McDonald's or Taco Bell.

---

Chik Fil A. So stale and dry

---

Bhmp

---

in and out

burgers are average and fries are fucking trash

---

Chik Fil A. Popeyes really fucked them up during the whole chicken sandwich wars
---

This is why America is fat.

Taco Bell. People talk about it like it's fast food Mecca but it's flavorless compared to any hole-in-the wall Mexican joint. There are neighborhoods where I could piss in a random spot and be sure to hit a place just as cheap and fast, but waaaay better.

McDs is a close second due to people pretending their food has any redeeming value. At least Taco Bell is edible if you're desperate. There's a McDonalds on the way to my grandparents that's the only food available. Every year or so, I forget what I've learned and buy something. As soon as I unwrap it and look at what I've bought - instant disappointment.

Raising Cane's the only good thing is the toast

---

Chick-Fil-A overall but I really gotta say I dont get the whole Wendys thing at all

---

It probably wouldn't be fair of me to say In-N-Out, since they don't have any locations near me and I've never eaten there to be able to judge, but it can't possibly be as good as Californians make it sound like.

It's not amazing but in terms of the price to quality ratio, it's up there with the greats.

Burger King.

Nah

No one goes there

I mentioned it because there was a topic a while back about which chain had the best fries, and the vast majority voted for burger king.

Although I don't live in the states, over here in Venezuela BK fries are fucking gross.

---

I dont think any of those chains are overrated. Everyone knows its shit. Some people have preferences but no one thinks any fast food is truly great.

---

All the Restaurants are real nice. None are over-rated in my book.

---

In-N-Out, with Chick-fil-A as a close second

This is exactly what I was going to put. The first time I had In -N-Out fries they tasted like they were soaked in dishwater.

You're wrong lol

overall mcdonalds because they are by far the most successful and the food is not good although the caramel frappe they make is really good

This.

If you're in whereever the hispanic community is large you shouldn't bother with Taco Bell at all. You can do better for cheaper in places like LA too.

---

I had Popeyes for the first time recently. It's rated exactly where it is. Damn good.

---

Popeyes.

It became a meme and people over hype it because theyre lying to themselves about chick fil a.

---

Chick Fil a followed by in n out
Chick fil a is good but people still treat it too highly
In n out is decent but no where near as good as it's made out to be

---

5 Guys is for people who hate money

In-and-Out is good, but Ive seen people act like its a source of life

CFA is overrated but not by much

Popeyes isnt worth the hassle if you got a Bojangles

Raisin Cane isnt talked about enough to be one thing or the other

Taco Bell is exactly what everyone says it is

Chipotle is either mana from heaven or dirty underwear to people

McDonalds is McDonald, cheap and fast (when they had workers)

Wendys is overrated by old people

But any positivity about Whataburger is a lie. Ive been 4 times to separate stores in different states. It sucked every time. Burger King is close to them, but usally one in four times at BK, I leave satisfied

---

Wendy's. I don't know why anyone thinks this place is good. The food is absolute shit and they literally never get your order right, even the simplest thing. Maybe the locations around here are just particularly bad?

Yeah I remember not liking the tendies at Wendy's much.

5 guys is inconsistent but still good overall

---

5 Guys is genuinely ass

In-n-out isnt on the east coast

---

Chick Fil A is fine but people here will wait in the drive through to the point of backing out onto main roads. Like, it's not that good. Just go somewhere else instead of literally making the roads unsafe.

---

that taco bell still exists means it's overrated. people still eat there. they consistently give money to eat it. it's garbage.

Chick fila, its good and I plan on eating it today, but the lines will cause traffic on certain lanes.

then In n out, I shouldnt have to order something exactly like a math equation to get a good experience. Plus, theres no app so the wait is always terrible.

---

Gotta go Wendy's here. The food is boring to me.

Chick Fil A I did not find to be particularly wonderful the couple of times I tried it.

ok it's fried chicken...and? I can get that at Popeyes.

Five guys is fine but a little to pricey for what is being offered so I don't go there often.

Five Guys.

I was excited to try Raising Cane's but it was a huge disappointment. The chicken tenders were crispy but the meat and breading were incredibly bland. I like bone-in fried chicken better. The sauce is okay, and there's really....nothing else on the menu?

Say what you want about Chik-Fil-A, at least they have actual employees and have no trouble keeping that drive thru chugging along.

Most the other fast food places in my neighborhood are starting to shut down except for Uber eats due to only having 1 or 2 employees on a given shift. Dining rooms are closed and if they DO have a working drive-thru, it takes an eternity to get through it.
