The two cheeseburger meal is perfect to split between two people with an extra drink.

Do you weigh 83 pounds?

Their breakfast is still great. I think their burgers got noticeably better within the past 3-5 years. I'll fuck up a McRib. 

I ate there a lot at my last job because there was one about 80 feet away from us.

My kids don't want it. The nuggets are beat by literally anywhere else. The toys in the Happy Meals are lame. They have nothing to offer that can't be done better and cheaper anywhere else. 

My youngest nephew refuses McDonald’s. CFA or nothing.

I also don't get the CFA love.  The chicken sandwich is fine.  Their nuggets are tasty.  Their waffle fries may be the worst in the business.  As limp and bland as their dominant culture.

The change to the fries (adding pea starch) has improved their crispiness.  The flavor has changed, but you don't notice because dipping the fries in Polynesian is the way to go.

When did they make that change?  Because I had CFA about a year ago, and the fries were damned near inedible.  Just limp slabs of potato.

November of last year, I think?

Same. Don’t touch anything but their breakfast 

Used to be consistently cheap and good. It's been a while, but the last few times I went, it seemed overpriced and dried-out.

There was a time, before the advent of Starbucks, that McDonald's was the one place where you could find reliably tasty (for the time) coffee. On long trips within Texas or on the interstates, it was a lifesaver.  Coming back one morning from camping in Big Bend, I swore undying loyalty to the franchise after hitting the McD's in Fort Stockton.

But now that high-quality, fresh-ground coffee is easier to find than fake boobs in Hollywood, I can say, "I've changed, baby. You've stayed the same."

All of one location in Houston can prepare the waffle fries correctly. Owner is usually in the store, so I’m guessing it’s a user error issue.

Had a spicy chicken deluxe today for lunch and it was pretty damn good. Lettuce being fresh makes a huge difference to me. First CFA I’ve had in over a year

I like the CFA Cobb salad. Salads are healthy, even when they're covered in chicken nuggets and ranch dressing.

Right? RIGHT?

Absolutely.

I remember many years ago, working a case in Tulsa.  There's a restaurant called the Wild Fork in Utica square -- still there, still really good.  We went one night, and the special was a fried catfish salad.  Two fillets, two hushpuppies, topped with tartar sauce, on a small bed of lettuce.  It was fucking BRILLIANT, because that night, when I called my wife to touch base, she asked "so what'd you have for dinner?", I could answer truthfully, "oh, we just went to the Wild Fork and I had a salad."

Goddamned genius menu move right there.

hes saying if you need a quick pick me up. itd cost 13 bucks for 2 people to eat with extra drink. 

 

on the app you can get much better deals than any combo gives you for those quick Mcds pit stops. mcdouble/mcchicken meal deal for $5 probably the best deal on the market. sucks you only get a small coke to go with it and cant upgrade it for a charge.

He did say "trying to watch what you eat"  - which is fair. Just saying splitting that isn't a lot of food. 

Also - I'm showing $6.19 for a 2 cheeseburger meal. What's another medium drink - $1.79 or something?

The McNugget Tangy BBQ sauce is fucking delicious. I've got a couple of those and a couple of Chick-Fil-A Sweet & Spicy Srirachas rolling around in my console.

I will crush their cheeseburgers. The bacon egg and cheese biscuit is legit…and the hash browns…on point.

Talked about the fountain coke in another thread…best in town.

The only time I ever go to McDonald's is for breakfast on a road trip.  2 egg mcmuffins, hash brown, medium OJ.  Not sure I've eaten anything from there other than those items in the past 25 years.

Any other Filet-o-Fish enjoyers?

My son ate three.  In one day.  On three separate occasions.  As snacks.  In fucking PARIS.  By the second time, he was doing it to fuck with us.  In fairness, he also ate all the fine Parisian grub we ate that day as well.  He was in his eatin' phase.

It’s not anyone’s personality. There’s better options for similar prices, with the fast food inflation going on. It’s quick, it’s nostalgic, it’s consistent.

Wendy’s has a better burger. McD has the better breakfast. Chick fil a has better chicken, assuming you don’t want to go to Popeyes and throw hands

It was great when it was cheaper than other places but the pricing being what it is now I can go to other FF places with better quality for the price.

100%. Even sit down spots like Chili’s are better bang for your buck than most FF meals

Wendy’s 

BK

McDs 

for me in my ff burger ranking. 

BK was pretty solid up until about a decade ago.  (I believe syncing with the take over by 3G capital)

Now completely absurd pricing for a very diminished product.

 

I don't even consider stopping at a BK anymore

 

Wendy's has higher highs, but a bit lower lows than McD  IMPhottakeO

The "ghost McDonalds" or the ones where you're greeted by 4 kiosks and no humans behind the counter have turned me off to McDonalds as a whole.

Those franchise locations must be where they send the most worthless of all McD employees. The last one I stopped at was disgusting, half the soda options were out of syrup, no straws no ketchup cups, tables sticky and filthy. And my food took longer than a Whataburger at 215am.

They deliver food to your table, but your drink cup is empty and you get no napkins, etc. So anyone has to immediately get up anyway and go right back to where the employee came from and stock up. The whole operation is fucking stupid.

It’s always funny to see people make not eating McDonald’s part of their personality. It’s relatively cheap and it’s relatively good. All you need

Nice to see you haven't stopped being wrong. 

McDonald's hasn't been either of those things in a while.

Speaking of Chili's,
Their burgers have gotten pretty tasty.  Not sure what they changed.  

My last two times in Love field I've hit up Chili's for a burger. Both times it was a perfect airport meal. Sit at the bar instead of waiting in the absurd Whataburger or Chik Fil A line or whatever. $15 and in and out in 20 mins. 

As far as fast-food value and burgers go P. Terry's is usually my go to. A double cheeseburger combo add japs, extra side of special sauce and a banana bread is $13 even.

I eat it 1-2 times a month. It’s not vastly different from other fast food places

It's nice you can at least splurge those one or two times a month.

I always enjoyed mixing the hot mustard and sweet and sour together.
