We have those frozen custard places, too that I've been wanting to try.


That whole thing about McDonald's and the hindus/vegetarians was ridiculous -- so it had beef flavoring....... big deal!

There is a place near us called Sailor's Submarine. They have the best sandwich called a Meatball Stuffer- it is a hollowed out loaf for bread which they pack with meatballs, cheese, sauce, onions and peppers, Then they wrap it in foil and broil it- it is the best!

Since y'all were talking about it I just wanted to rant...

We are generally too broke to eat out, but last night we spluged and got Burger King, usually my favorite fast food place. We just wanted something really bad for us. So hubby comes back with the food and EVERYTHING was bad! There wasn't any syrup in the drinks - just colored carbonated water - YUK! The fries were stale, even though hubby said he thought they were just pulled, and both of our sandwiches were really dry. So we spent $13 on crap for food. I'll still eat at Burger King, but never at that one again. Sad thing is they just completely rebuilt that location from the ground up, and apparently hired a bunch of incompetents to make the food.

Thanks for letting me rant.

BTW, I still vote for good old fashioned ice cream. Blue Bunny is the best!

I have to agree that frozen custard is the best! Does anyone have a Culver's by them? They have THE BEST custard around and they are famous for it.

I have tried to get away from Fast Food in the past few months. I do enjoy Wendy's, I like their chili and baked potato, and its pretty healthy too.
I love subway, and I like the Pockets from D'Angelo's too. My downfall in life is french fries, once I start I cannot stop. Sooooo I steer clear most of the time.

I think most places are trying to carry at least some items that are health friendly, or else they'd be losing business. So many people are so food conscious that they would never eat at these places if they could only get a burger.

As far as the ice cream/frozen yogurt thing....I love soft serve ice cream. Its low in fat, and I love the taste! Yummy!!

But, the beef flavoring was made from real cows. Therefore, the fries were not vegetarian as McDonalds said they were! If you don't believe in eating animals, it is a big deal to find out that what you thought were just potatoes cooked in vegetable oil were really potatoes soaked in beef fat!

Why don't you call customer service or the manager and complain. And ask for the money back! I would have nagged and complained until they did their job right or give me a refund!

I probably should have, but I didn't. Hubby will not confront anyone (except me, of course), so even if he had noticed it at the place he wouldn't have done anything. I was more irritated than anything, but we still ate it.

What irritates me most is when the person taking the orders at the drive-thrus don't get the order right We like Sonice from time to time, but for a while, they weren't getting the orders right. Like for ex: hubby doesn't like lettuce or tomoatoes on his burgers, so I ask for it to be taken off, or if he gets the coney, he only gets cheese minus the chili. It's hard to check on that stuff in the bag, so usually we don't find out til when we open the bag. Their french fries suck now, too...... For the longest time, they had fries like McDonald's, but changed to those coated french fries like Jack in the Box or Burger King....... Then, they went back to the normal ones, and just recently changed back to those coated ones I asked the manager, and he said they were doing a taste test and that the coated ones stay hotter longer.

Tigger, I knew Sonic had changed their fries from the kind McDonalds has to the Burger King kind. I hadn't had Sonic in a year or so and then about a year ago I went there and was really looking forward to the fries and was completely grossed out. It had been so long I couldn't remember if it was me not remembering or not!

Jack in the Box, Burger King and Sonic fries are gross!!! I love McDonalds and Whataburger fries!

sfell,
Ah, so you're not the only one who thinks those fries are disgusting! I wonder if I sent an email to their corporate office, if they'd maybe change them? That is the only reason why we don't go there anymore...... Whataburger fries are ok..... Their burgers are huge!

Burger King is the only fast-food burger I eat - they're broiled, instead of fried.

As for ice cream - Godiva's Belgian Dark Chocolate is the best!:icecream:

hmmmmm.... can a fast food worker put her 2 cents in here?
Working at Long john silvers I expect..no let me change that, I demand the service given to our customers be as good as i would want to be given at another place and let me tell you,i am NOT afraid to voice my opinion if something is not the way I ordered it.
Unfortunately as far as teh complaints thing goes, there is only so much they can do at a restaurant.We try and make people happy but there are the odd persons that you can't make happy if you shower them with truck loads of money. That is hard on us since peoples (ok some peoples)thinking is that if you work at a restaurant, you are an uneducated scum that deserves to be treated like dirt.That isn't always the case. Some of us CHOOSE to work in a restaurant and it isn't because of lack of education, it is because we can. I will bend over backwards to make sure each and every customer leaves our store satisfied and happy. Now I know that some employees aren't the best at customer service, but that is what management is there for. To make sure that people are getting the best service possible. Sorry if I am ranting here, but I think that if you get bad food, you need to call let them know and always keep your receipt. that way you have proof that you were there and they can help you out better. Unfortunately some people try and get something for free also. They will call and say they got bad food even though they didn't even leave their house that day. (Is it just me or am I all over the place here???) So always keep proof you were there so that they can help you better, and won't be skeptical if you were really there or not.
And if you do call back, please don't be rude. I won't accept that and I don't expect my crew to either. ok, now that I have ranted,i've completely lost my train of thought. darn it! as you can tell, I have alot of pent up frustrations with customers. Oh, another thing, that customer is always right thing is bull... If you are wrong then don't be mad at us for it. If your credit card doesn't go thru, it's not our fault, call your bank and find out why.. AHEM......
Ok now I think I am done ranting from the fast food workers point or view... did I miss anything???

I hope Subway dies a slow, steady death!! The 1st time I ate there, I threw up. The LAST time I ate there, I got sick. Nothing like warmed over steak or meatballs to get your stomach turning.

On a side note, if you are ever in the So. Orange County area of So. California, you have got to find either Stuffers or TummyStuffers. Now, those are real sandwiches!!! ALL (incl. hot) sandwiches are made to order, i.e. if someone wants a steak sandwich, they throw the steak slices on the grill.

Whisky's Dad,
That's is just gross about your Subway incident I'm kind of surprised more people haven't gotten sick the way they just leave their meats out. I went there one time and asked for white bread, and the girl started putting cheese on wheat bread. I told her, and she took the cheese off of the wheat bread, and threw the bread back into the bin!

Yeah, and I bet the person behind you asked for wheat!!
I've heard that Togo's is good but I don't think they have them up here. I'll have to check.

The one fast food I can acutally say I like is Domino's cinnistix. They are so good!! I ate half the box the first time I tried them.

I've tried togo's once before, and from what I remember it was ok... It kind of reminded me of Hogi Yogi, in a way.
