    LOL, well almost every place listed here... In n' out, white castle, Arby's, Denny's etc. I've never even seen let alone been too. Funny.

    I'm in Canada and there are Popeye's and chipotles every where around me, haven't tried them though either.

    Lots, probably many more than will come to mind, as if they aren't around here they won't come to mind.

    Chik-Fil-A is one, Arby's, White Castle, In n Out (not here, to my knowledge), Nandos (I think it's new here). I've only been to a Taco Bell because people went there when drunk late at night sometimes when I was in school. Don't think I've ever had Little Caesars. I've bought soda at Jimmy Johns (all over here) but never food.

    Arby's has the best fast food milkshakes. I love their vanilla shakes. Especially with a scoop of vanilla protein powder mixed in. So delicious.

    I've never tried, nor wanted to try, Arby's. The premise of heated lunch meat has always been a non-starter for me.

    Being Canadian I've also never tried Sonic, Pop Eyes, Chipotle, Jimmy John's, all the American chains that don't have much if any presence in Canada basically. I totally want to have an Unwich when next we are stateside...so whenever your president no longer resembles cheetos I guess lol

    Arbys is good but expensive.. Idk what you're talking about in "heated lunch meat"

    Jimmy John's is sub par sub place. They literally put lunch meat on the subs and it's not even good lunch meat more like thin rubbers

    I've never been to Qdoba and I'm dying to do it. I've just never had enough calories in the bank to do it.. maybe next Summer

    Arby's as far as I've ever seen is warmed roast beef lunch meat covered in what looks like Velveeta...no thanks haha. Good to know about JJ'S though, I've always heard good things!

    I stop at Arby's for their Turkey Gyros. Absolutely love it!

    There are a number of restaurants that have zero locations near me in Kansas so I have not tried them.
    Of the ones I have been near but have not tried- Church's Chicken, Chipotle, Domino's pizza, Planet Sub, Captain D's, a number of Chinese restaurants...probably a lot more fast food that are not huge nationwide chains. Dh swears I had had Popeyes food once but I don't think I did.

    Fast food I got when I was a little kid, so i have been to most of those. Never eaten KFC, but have been to one of those KentakoHuts, where they stuffed a KFC, a Taco Bell and a Pizza Hut in one building. There are plenty of chain restaurants I've never been to though, like Applebees, places like that. Because we are lucky enough to have non-chain restaurants here. We go to some chain places too - Outback and Macaroni Grill, occasionally to a Chili's. Oh and Denny's for breakfast on Sunday, LOL.

    In-n-out, Five Guys, Slim Chickens (just opened nearby). Probably more that's only available on the west coast - I've got the south, central, and east parts of the US pretty much covered, LOL.

    I wish I'd never been to Panda Express (yuck).

    Stop whatever you're doing and go to Five Guys. Right. Now. Absolutely freakin' awesome!

    Op-I eat fast food several times a week and there's nothing in our area that I haven't tried yet. Favorites are Arbys, Five Guys, Checkers and Subway. Sonic and A&W drive-in are also fun in the summer, we take our classic car that has a convertible top and the kids sit up on the back area to eat :)

    Haven't had White Castle, In-n-Out, Checkers, but those aren't around me... My parents used to take me to lots of fast food places on the weekends, so I've been to most of them!

    Lots! Culver's, Jack-in-the-Box, Chick-fil-a, Five Guys, Slim Chickens, to name a few. When you don't eat meat, fast food choices are limited.

    Chipotle... no really. never been.. don't think I ever will. It seems to me like a trendy Taco Bell but with unclean conditions. LOL

    more people over the years have gotten sick from taco bell then the one ecoli outbreak. walk into a taco bell and walk into a chipotle and see which one is more "unclean" lol.

    Sonic - this place looks like a glorified elementary school cafeteria.
    Rubio's - fish sticks in a taco? Pass.
    Dairy Queen - blizzards are always good.. but they try to cook actual food here, too?

    I want some Popeye's chicken strips now. :grimace:

    East coast, so no In n' Out burger here. Also passed by a lot of Cracker Barrels on a cross-country trip but never actually ate there (but used the restroom).

    More interestingly, we found a Long John Silvers in Pennsylvania once and had never been. One big plate of beige, greasy food! Eep.

    And IHOP > Waffle House.

    Aside from the regional places like In-N-Out or Whataburger, I've never been to Sonic or Popeye's.

    Get them to knock down the calories on those burgers and I might go.

    If I'm spending 500+ calories on a burger, I'm going to my current favorite burger joint which is most definitely NOT fast food. Or chain food.

    To be honest, though, I'm not all that big on burgers anymore.

    I go to Five Guys and just get the burger patties in a bowl with grilled mushrooms and peppers. I don't get the bread because it's too smushy for me. People love their fries but I'm not a big fry person so they are just "meh" for me.

    I have been to Sonic. I like the cherry limeade but nothing else. Also, the service (at the one I've been to) is always terrible. Plus you have to specifically ask for a napkin because they don't give you one otherwise (this may be particular to the one near me rather than a company-wide policy.)

    Most of them I think... whatever's not in NJ! here I haven't tried Sonic but that's probably it... I'm never going to Arby's again after my last time though... way too salty!

    Arby's- I want to try the venison burger, don't live in a state that sells it
    In and Out- They're in Texas, but not in Houston!
    Of the places I see around here frequently- Popeyes, Schlotzsky's, and A&W

    The atmosphere of Five Guys really turns me off, Smash Burgers is the better fast casual burger place.

    There's a place called Verts I'd recommend if you live in Texas.

    my husband is from jersey and he was so excited for all the fast foods when he got here haha! Although he got to have delicious east coast pizza growing up.
