Shake Shack is garbage, they barely season their beef so you really feel like it’s just a slab of ground beef, it’s fresh but nowhere near worth $10 for a no effort burger and some frozen crinkle cut fries. They opened one up literally on my corner and I’m bummed.
Popeyes used to have way better chicken but when they run good deals I’ll stop grab some, the red beans and rice is so good and the biscuits are top tier when fresh, location is very important though you have to get a good one if they have shitty owners you’re fucked, plus sandwich is whatever they either put an insane amount of Mayo or and insane amount of hot sauce when i got it either way
I used to live next to the checkers on girard and broad in philly so I’d eat there all the time for the 4 for 4s
Wendy’s 4 for 4 is the go to for value but their nuggets taste weird, burgers are tasty though, also you might still be able to sub an iced coffee for your soda with the 4f4 if you’re on the go
Taco Bell is delicious but you’re spending minimum $10 getting anything good which is what I’m trying to avoid getting fast food, I’ve eaten like ten tacos at once though, with chips too I love Taco Bell. I’m of the opinion that the plain tacos are the best, Doritos or soft for me, but I like to throw a classic crunchy in for childhood nostalgia purposes sometimes. Crunchwrap etc shit is weird, it always tastes kinda good cuz it’s Taco Bell but it’s not as good as the classics. Their chips and nacho cheese are scrumptious
Chipotle is alright, don’t want to spend $12 on lunch but truth be told it’s nutritious at least, it’s real food to an extent
McDonalds is my go to because I drink a ton of coffee and I use their $1 coffee coupon every time I’m out and about. I just end up getting a $4 double hamburger combo with my coffee. I justify it because I don’t eat enough red meat or iron rich food in general so it’s a decently filling portion of weird but satisfying McDonald’s burger when you’re emergency hungry, then you get a huge coffee for when you go skating for $5 together. Not a bad deal but I hate the food now. Back in 2015 I used to get their chicken tenders for fifty cents each with a coupon. I’d get 8 and take them back to my apartment around the block and make chicken and waffles with eggos and aunt Jemima syrup.
Burger King is alright I haven’t had it in years used to go to the one across from Cecil all the time. Whoppers are delicious but chicken is weird
Chick fil a is so fucking good that sauce with the chicken mmmmmmmmm
All in all get all the apps and don’t pay more than $5-6 for shit and eat it in emergencies and you’re good
