I'm pretty sure there has to be a few Panera addicts here.

 

If so, come this Wednesday to your local Panera, they're launching their own pizza to boost dinner sales. Its called the Crispani pizza and it has Romesco sauce with asiago-parm cheese and with ham and pineapple. Tasted it the other day and its one of my favorites!

 

Sorry for the product placement, but Panera bread is badass...

I personally enjoy subway, but these "deli-style" fast-food places are really getting expensive in Hawaii.

 

Example:

1. Subway-avg. cost $7.50+ (meal deal: $10.00)

2. Quiznos- about the same

3. Pizza Hut (avg. $20+)

4. McDonalds (avg. meal deal $7.50+)

5. Burger King ($5-9)

You get the idea.

 

Pretty soon, I would have to do a second mortgage on my home just to eat out.

10 Being my favorite and 1 being my least favorite

 

10 In-N-Out Burger, Schloztkys, Varisty (I'm not sure if you guys have

ever heard of it, but it is like a nostalgic fast food with the 50's

appeal), Chili's (since people put Johnny Rockets and Red Lobster)

 

9 Wendy's, Chick-Fil-A, Subway, Krispy Kreme, Cold Stone (does this

count)

 

8 Atlanta Bread Company (sandwhich place), Sonic

 

7 Zaxby's, Moe's (Burrito place two steps above Taco Bell), Domino's

 

6 McDonalds, Checkers (their fries are good, but their burgers aren't),

Backyard Burgers

 

5 Pizza Hut

 

4 Burger King

 

3 Dunkin Donuts, Whataburger

 

2 Jack-In-The-Box, Wily's (midtown location one was OK, but the

College Park one was not)

 

1 Taco Bell (I went to one once and they said their meat tube was

clogged, I'll eat it, but no my first choice)

hmm...i havent eaten yet and all this talk of mostly low quality food is making me hungry!

 

favs

 

raising canes - chicken finger restaurant! even though there isnt a big selection, its soo good. not many places in vegas sell sweet tea, so this place is definately at the top of my list.

 

in and out - double double animal style!

 

fatburger - with gas at $3 a gallon you have to avoid the drive through if theres more than one car waiting cause it takes so long, but its really good. the breakfast sandwiches are good after a night out on the town.

 

bakers - to me they taste like in and out. thier mexican food isnt that bad either. too bad the closest one to vegas is in Victorville/Hesperia

 

farmer boys - they have good breakfast. again too bad the closest one is a few hours away in California.

 

del taco - who can beat taco tuesdays?

I'm going to adopt my "Coaster Rating Scale" for the major Fast Food Chains:

 

Here is my "5" list:

Arby's

KFC

Der Wienerschnitzel

Long John Silvers

Domino's

Popeye's Chicken

CiCi’s Pizza

Fuddruckers

Johnny Rockets

Taco Time

Round Table Pizza

Schlotzsky's Deli

Church's Chicken

 

--Robb "Overall there are more fast food places that I don't really like!" Alvey

 

Your 5 list, basically hit it spot on. Fudruckers is over rated and expensive. And Arbys? Gross. Schlotzsky's Deli. Like Quizno's, toasted subs? grossssss.

I will steal Robb's scale, as well.

 

My favorite Fast Food!

I really don't have one. Everything falls in the below categories.

 

1 - Fast Food I really like a lot and would make a trip for

In 'n' Out. The wait is outrageous sometimes but it's worth it.

Wendy's. They really freaking need to put one closer to me than f'ing Burbank.

Fatburger - again, I think the closest one to me is in Santa Monica

 

2 - Fast Food that I like, but wouldn't go out of the way for

Burger King

Del Taco

Jack in the Box (Their tacos rule)

Taco Bell

Long John Silvers

Panda Express

Subway

 

3 - Fast Food that isn't very good, but I would eat it again if I HAD to.

(El) McDonalds - I swear, it tastes better back East.

Carl's Jr. - Edible, but stay away from their baked potatoes

Quizno's - Maybe it'll be better NOT TOASTED next time.

 

4- Fast Food that I don't ever care to eat again!

KFC - They've just gotten WAY too greasy over the years. Also, the last few times I've gotten chicken, it's been all breading/gristle/fat and no chicken. Ew.

Rally's - I ate there once about 10 years ago and remember it being pretty gross. Are they still even in business?

Nathan's Hot Dogs - I think I had one either at New York New York or at the MGM Grand. It was HORRIBLE! I think I actually hurled.

OMFG. What about tuna? Your on an Island! Tuna meal here in Maryland is 5.25. I go in every day for lunch (nto to get tuna, but all the prices are the same for most of the usuals, like turkey, ham, tuna) Sheesh. Thats crazy.

But in Hawaii you guys have L&L Hawaiian BBQ! We have like 3 or 4 of those here in Vegas now because of the large island population. Its good food too!

Good Ol' Fast Food

 

I like The Dirty Bird (KFC) every once in a while.

 

I like any Sub thats less than $7.50 like this place around here called Mikes Subs that makes a hero which is a Assorted Sub but x2 so its 2 subs in one and its the most unbelievable thing ever. Which means Quiznos is out of question because I ain't paying a full paycheck for a sub.

 

Wendys Chicken Strips with the old Chipoltle Sauce or their Buffalo Ranch sauce is the only thing I will eat at Wendys.

 

And I guess thats the only fast food I will eat.

At least you have an In'N'Out near you, I don't think In'N'Out even has a location on the East Coast. The only place I saw an In'N'Out that was outside of California was in Las Vegas, but that still is across the country. I wish we could turn out Fatburger here to an In'N'Out Burger

Just got back form my first east coast trip and I have to say that Chick-Fil-A is the bomb!!!!! Excellent fast food IMO. We also suffered through a meal at Long John Silvers in Williamsburg. The place was a dump and the food sucks a%$!!!!!!!. On a side note got my first Carrabbas credit in Bowie , MD. I had the Pollo Rosa Maria and it was to die for. Liked it so much we ate there again 2 nights later. Thanks TPR for all the Carrabbas talk or I may have never been. - Barry

I'll just tell the ones that I like, in no particular order !

 

McDonalds, Wendy's, Harvey's (a canadian fast food chain with the best hamburgers ever cooked on the grill ), Dic Anns (the chain is pretty dead, but there is one near me and the sauce they put in the hamburgers is just really good !) and A&W (for their famous rootbeer and the Double Moza burger ).

 

You can also conclude that by listing these restaurants, I love hamburgers

I'll just stick with the top 5.

 

1. In 'n Out - Sadly, I have to travel to the left coast to get my fix, but it's always well worth it.

 

2. Zaxby's - How many different ways can you serve chicken in a fast food setting? Zaxby's will show you....and it's good, too.

 

3. Boston Market - I really miss this place. Just another thing wrong with north Georgia.

 

4. Arby's - The menu has gotten much much better over the years.

 

5. Quiznos - mmmm, tasty.
