    Taco Bell over everything. And now I'm missing it.

    Well, being in Canada, my choices are different than most of you. My favorite actual fast food is mcdonalds and I know how gross that is to many people. This might sound very strange but our costco here has poutine. I consider Costco fast food since its all pizza and hot dogs and such. The poutine is the one thing that could kill my eating healthy so I have been avoiding it. All of the places everyone have said are now making me very hungry.

    Panda Express, obsessed with their honey walnut shrimp. :love:

    ooh this is exciting because I've never been, and they are opening in my town soon.

    Also...who called Outback "fast food"? LOL...not really...

    Ok, so Panda express is great... but damn, check their nutritional information. It's a big WTF.

    Five Guys Burgers and Fries
    Chipotle
    Taco Bell
    Sbarro

    We just got a Five Guys here and I've been wondering if it's good, is it just another burger joint?

    I was not impressed

    Nether was I.

    About a year ago my husband and I met some friends in one of the Five Guys in town (their choice not ours) and I had one of their burgers, can't remember which one, but it was over done and dry, and I didn't like it or enjoy it at all. My husband was not too impressed about his choice either. Neither of us are hamburger lovers so maybe that had something to do with it. We are not planning to go back there anytime soon

    Go to a burger place, not a burger fan. Seems legit.

    Huge burger fan, five guys is marginal at best. I do dig the peanuts though.

    Fat Burger is the go to when In-N-Out isn't local.

    There's a small chain here called Chorizo Fresh Mex. I've recently started going there as my wife and I have given up gluten. Their burrito bowls are pretty good, and their nutritional information plays well with my diet.

    My favorite fast food restaurant is probably a local joint called Babe's Drive In. BEST hamburger around and really cheap, delicious shakes that tend to be pretty small portions compared to the big chains. I really never get their shakes these days but it's nice to know you can grab a 16 oz shake for a buck something. Instead of a $5 shake that has a cupcake smashed on top and is in a Big Gulp cup.

    I mostly like ethnic & local places that don't qualify as "fast food" though :-)

    If I HAD to pick a few of the bigger fast food chains I guess it would be something like this:

    Culver's - veggie burger or single burger

    Taco Bell - shredded chicken burrito

    Moe's - steak burrito bowl with fajita veggies, rice, black beans, and sour cream (Chipotle & Qdoba are also okay but I think Moe's has the best value and tastiest steak)

    Schlotzsky's - small veggie sandwich or chicken pesto pizza

    Subway - egg white on flatbread with tons of veggies

    OMFG, Schlotzky's still exists????? I used to LOVE that place, but they all closed down around here (Chicago area) when I was in high school. Off to Google where I can vacation next (only about 50% kidding)....

    Happy to see a couple of Rubio's mentions upthread! That's me too, mainly because all the Rubio's are now 2000 miles away and I can't have them. Even with all the better quality Mexican places that are cropping up on Long Island, I still can't get a comparable fish taco/shrimp burrito combo. I also like the "Mar Del" from Fins in San Diego.

    DH will tell you that In & Out has the best burgers anywhere ever except for the ones he grills himself.

    Your comment was out of place and totally unnecessary (yes, I know it is the internet!). If you read my comment, I said that it was our friends' choice not mine or my husband's, and we just went along to be polite. But you probably don't know the meaning of that word...

    By the way, by reading other comments, I am not the only one that doesn’t care much for Five Guys. Have a nice weekend.

    Bad: Burger King, a double whopper or a kebab

    Medium: Subway, white roll, with chicken, bacon, salad and jalepenos

    Good: Nandos, everything!

    Angel: Chinese soup of some sort

    Even though I'm a fat cow, I really don't love fast food. It's weird. I just pig out on crappy stuff from grocery stores or delivery (which I guess is fast food, but I'm thinking more like the McDonald's of the world).

    If I HAD to choose one - Panera Bread. They have healthier items and their unhealthy stuff is awesome too. Mmmmm... Now I want Panera.

    I'm good with Panda Express! Some pretty decent options - especially if you choose the steamed veggies! (I also order it as take out but eat in and then eat half of it there and the rest for lunch the next day. Since MFP has Panda express stuff in it I can easily half the calories. My weakness is Bejing Beef and the occasional split order of rangoons!

    The cheap drive through - Checkers hotdogs with grilled onions (gotta have two with ketchup)! About 240 calories . . .

    All time favorite for fast food yumminess is BK's Memphis pulled pork sandwich ... BEST 420 calories EVER ... it's 'lick the wrapper' good!!!
