Harvey's is my go to if I want a decent fast food burger. Flame grilled, made to order. You get to pick your toppings. They also let you sub fries for a salad. Was a cheeky way to get more food when I was in college.

A&W is my second choice. Usually get the classic Teen Burger. Their 5oz Uncle Burger isn't bad either. Their breakfasts are pretty bomb. They do proper bacon & eggs. They'll even do fried tomato and sausage with it now.

Wendy's isn't bad, just don't get the chilli. McDick's is only worthwhile for their breakfasts. Can't remember the last time I went to BK.

Those aren't on his list. Thanks for reading, dipshit.

Specifically the list involved? BK-Wendy's-McDonald's

Otherwise: Culvers-Everything Else.

Your choices were dumb, Culvers rulz.

I like their burgers, they're just REALLY greasy and I feel pretty bad eating it. Which says a lot given I'm a fat POS that loves fast food... Culvers stands on its own as far as grease is concerned. They don't call them butterburgers for nothing.

Damn good though

So has BK gone downhill since about 10 years ago? Because 10 years ago they were certainly of more quality than McDonalds.

On taste:

Wendys > Burger king >>>>>>>>>> McDonalds

On value/price:

McDonalds > Burger King >>>>> Wendys

I can easily fill up at McDonalds for $4. $1 McChicken, $1 McDouble, $1 2 Apple Pies, $1 Large drink (It's $1 any sized drinks at my local McDonalds).

I frequent McDonalds more than I should because of the value.

Which is the one that does the chilli cheese bites? The things that are like a deep fried cyst.

That one.

I'd still put them above McDonald's. Not sure what these other guys are smoking.

Yes, but only just barely, and depending on store-to-store variation your local BK might be worse than the local McD's. Either way, it's basically inedible.

"You had four vats of oil that you cooked fries in. After about two days, the oil got too dark for fries. So we switched it over to the ones for chicken. Since it was darker, it was ok. Then that goes on for a week. After a week of massive frying. The oil is black as motor oil. At that point, it's switched to the Fish Filet vat. That's the only thing you cook in that vat,"
