Soccer tournament this weekend.  Late games @ 520pm and 840 pm.  Grabbed 15 pizzas from there, tailgated between games.  Badaboom.

Correct, as long as you stick to the ice cream line.  Their food is incredibly bad.

The last few times I’ve had the SSB, the Salad was wilted and brown and the soup was watery and tasteless; the breadsticks are still on point though.

The breadsticks were the only reason why I would go to Olive Garden

[Guest Lobo]

Or you could just not go to Olive Garden because it sucks.  Instead of eating at fast casual shitholes once a week, do what adults do---eat at a greasy dive and a high-end local joint instead.  It balances out and you don't have to be ashamed.

Don't throw the whole Midwest into that shit pile.

South Des Moines is an Italian enclave that's still run by the mob.  That whole end of town is littered with great family owned Italian joints.  The kind of places where they have back rooms, and you routinely hear people conversing in Italian.

I lived in Des Moines from '08-'12 and ever since I refuse to step foot in an Olive Garden.

Now, can someone that's not a borderline regard take the original Verts kebap recipes and open a counter service restaurant?

I've always thought of Burger King as a yankee thing, like Pepsi.  I can't think of a single Texan I grew up with that ever ate at Burger King, or ever drank Pepsi.

Yeah, I guess I could see it as a cheap college food option.  I just went to Taco Bell instead for $.59 tacos and burritos.

[elfenix 34,334]

burger king used to have 2 burgers 2 fries for $2.22.  early 90s i think.  back when i refused to eat mcdonalds.

I never eat anything at Cheddar's other than the chips and queso with my alcoholic drinks but their bar is awesome for low cost simple buzz fuel. Love to get a couple of painkillers every now and then. 

[AUinHsv 579]

Burger King was my high school summer job so I still like them. Plus here in North Alabama I get tons of coupons for buy one get one free so it's also a price performer. No idea on nuggets but I still like the Whopper.

[LW Goatman 1,125]

Cheddars is shitty.

[Armybrat 40,918]

Their cheap food is meh, but the frozen house Margaritas are damn good as are the onion rings.

Never cared for BK for a good number of years but have recently revisited them of late, really like the chargrilled taste. 

[Armybrat 40,918]

Probably liquid smoke, but the taste is better than a lot of those fast food burgers. They used to have a decent chocolate shake.

[Carl Spackler 3,504]

I'll occasionally hit BK for a Whopper, but that's about the only food item I'll order at that place.

[conVINCEd 21,469]

Rodeo burger doesn’t suck.  I used to work across the street from a BK.

Not a huge fan of ketchup/mayo on a burger but it works on a whopper for me. 

 

Never liked Cheddar’s but wife and jr liked their pecan chicken salad, we walked out of the one in pville due to poor service.

Pepsi is actually from coastal Carolina. It is typically the drink of choice at pulled pork restaurants that style themselves as "BBQ" though, of course, I never frequent such places owing to the fact that they suck.

Meanwhile, why is it called "Waffle House" when their waffles suck? "Hash Brown House" would more accurately describe the thing they actually do well.

Good point on the TCBY by campus.  I drive by that thing probably 6-10x a week and never see anyone there.  Maybe 1 or 2 cars in the lot, figure they have to be employees.  Nobody ever inside at the counter, nobody at the drive-thru.  And this has been the cast for the last 10+ years.  You never see anyone walking around eating one.  You never see the empty cups littered about campus or the Drag.  You never see any other TCBY's anywhere in the whole state.  And there is a proliferation of frozen yogurt, custard, popsicle, ice cream, and assorter purveyors of trendy confections.  You see all that shit everywhere, but no TCBY and nobody is ever eating inside there.  

Dammit, now I'm gonna go inside and get one next week so satiate my curiosity.

Yeah until the whets dried up and now it sucks.

I’ve often thought the same thing about IHOP, who make maybe the worst pancakes you can buy at a restaurant.

Agree.  Fast food burger that actually has a chargrilled flavor.  Lived on the whopper sales on Sunday nights in FW in the 90's.

They were the Starbucks of the 80's and early 90's.   Yogurt was the new health food craze and the stores popped up in shopping centers everywhere in cities large and small.

Taco Bell and BK had good deals for us poors who were in college in the 80's and 90's.

I could have a Whooper, fries and a small drink with free refills  for under $2.   Same goes for Taco Bell with three tacos and small drink. 

But the best thing was to wait for the HEB deli to close at get a dozen pieces of fried chicken for $4.   That was preferable.

 I've been a few times to Taco Bell with my boys when they were pre teens/teens and  if they had friends along,  it was cheaper to feed those food hogs that stuff vs. going to Whataburger or a sit down/order off a menu  place.     If they said Taco Bell, then I would  find the nearest one and let them have at it while I watched and maybe had some nachos. 

[Underdog 28,776]

Wife wanted TB last night after work and I got KFC, good Lord KFC has gotten so damn expensive.  It would have been cheaper to get one of the expensive family meals instead of one of their meal deals, but I didn't want to be eating fried chicken all weekend. 

Speaking of fried chicken, Cracker Barrel has surprisingly good FC.

I've always wondered about the "International" part, too. I mean, how often have you gone there and marveled over the Pakistani waffles, Singaporean pancakes, Salvadoran bacon, or Tunisian poached eggs?

I was in Ohio for work and Cheddars was our best option. I was told it was like a Poor Applebee’s. It wasn’t that bad but I wouldn’t ever chose to go there
