I don't like ANY fast food joints. They make their stuff from offal scraped off the floor of the abattoir. They don't like to waste anything. It's not a good idea to eat it, especially regularly.

We don't have those in this country and you'd be hard pressed to prove your statement.

There isn't really a fast food I don't like completely, but there are definitely some things that each place serves that I won't eat.

I rarely eat fast food because, like almost all restaurant food or anything that's processed ahead of time (think TV dinners, or other frozen meals in your grocer's freezer), it's not very good for you. My favorite burger at Jack-in-The-Box has more than 900 calories. Add fries and their version of a small drink, and you're well into the four digit calorie range. Maybe once a year I do that.

Also there's always the chance that whoever made it took a dump moments before preparing it and didn't wash their hands. Or sneezed over it or dropped some of it and so on...

True enough, but also true for anywhere that prepares food out of sight of the customers.

I don't like any fast food.  I eat at fast food "restaurants" max twice a year, and when I do it's either In-N-Out or Taco Bell.

In-N-Out is great.

[Mr. Not]

In-N-Out is as overrated as a fast food can get. Loud n proud Californians - gotta love them...

Their animal fries are pretty good, though, that is once you acquire the taste...

This thread should've been a poll with multiple vote options.

Anyway, I dislike Krystal's and almost everything on the menus of McDonald's & Burger King. Taco Bell and KFC seem like good ideas right before going there...BUT right after I'm done it feels like someone hit me in the gut with a sledgehammer. There are no Taco Bells in my city so I actually haven't had any in maybe a decade+. McD's and BK I probably hit up 2-3 times a year. No BK or McDs yet this year though. KFC I generally go to once a year...but I haven't gone since '14.

Jack In The Box is crap. Their food is always dry as a bone and tastes like its been sitting under a heat lamp all day.

Burger King varies a lot from decent to crap depending on who's running the particular place.

Panda Express egg rolls are always burnt to a crisp.

I like the way those sentences read out loud.

As for me, I had Jack in the Box ONCE and it WAS crap.

I agree about BK too. This one I used to go to had burgers that were all nice, pretty, and tasty + the place itself was always spic and span. Another one near my high school looked like they drop kicked their burgers before wrapping them up and serving them.

I haven't had Panda Express in probably twenty years. I can't even remember if I liked it or not.

I think I've had JitB twice, the last time being probably 20 yrs ago.  I remember it being very greasy.  Nasty.

Damn.  I thought this thread was about fast food that we do like.  I love Whataburger.  Had a double meat burger from there yesterday.

Anything that isn't Jack in the Box, I dislike

"Listen punks! Jack's employees have been working their buns off to make the best burger, shakes, and fries around!"

I had the absolute worst fast food experience ever at a Jack In The Box. It was some years ago, and I can't believe they're still in business.

I'd like to hear about what happened.  My husband has been getting me stuff from there lately on Saturday evening - Jumbo Jack and two tacos.
