Dollar menu fails?

[zinfamous]

Not good and most overrated burger.

Do you have no shame? At long last, sir--do you have no shame?

 

[zinfamous]

Those aren't the prices out here. An in-n-out cheeseburger is over 50% higher than that.

I call shens.

the point of IN-n-Out is not that it is the best burger anywhere; it is the best in its class of burgers (McD's, BK, etc) because of taste and value.

If you can't get a double double ~$3, then I can only assume you are lying....unless you live in an area with morbidly high business taxes. Even in the Bay Area INO they aren't cresting $3, ime.

In-n-Out is decent. It's overrated for sure, but I'd eat there again. The best fast-food burger I've had is from Hardees. I worked at McDonald's for years, so I don't like to eat there anymore. It's not that I know some terrible secret, I'm just burned out.

As far as fast-food burgers go, I'd rank them like this:

Hardees > In-N-Out > Burger King > Krystal > McDonald's >> Wendy's

I'd say Hardee's is a better burger overall, but their good burgers are nearly 2x the cost of an INO double double.


What Hardee's does exceedingly well is breakfast--they basically invented the standard fast food breakfast. And if anyone thinks McDonald's, they just have no fucking clue.

On google images I saw something as high as 3.40, but your sentiment is correct - a comparable burger from somewhere else is 5 bucks at a minimum.

Well, since I'd eaten at a bay area In n Out a day before the post, and correctly posted the pricing, which was 10% higher than you say, you know what you can do with your shens.

No reason to.

Now, if I were hyping the In N Out... sending innocent people out of their way...

 

[AMDZen]

Odd. Thats all i order is off the dollar menu

McDoubles and Hot and Spicy McChickens

Probably been mentioned already - but what the heck: The latest burger place to take off has definitely been Five Guys: http://www.fiveguys.com

I've been myself, and I have to admit it is a step above fast food burgers as far as taste goes. Very damn good, and the fries are awesome too, made in house because you see a shitload of potatoes all around you when you go inside the place. But these places have been cropping up and expanding like crazy. I don't go to fast food normally, I seriously haven't been through a McDonalds or Burger King etc... in approx 5 years at least.

You're a few years late with this "find".


5guys is nogo for people with peanut allergies.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Looking back, I see a lot of people are saying Overrated this, overrated that - both with In & Out AND Five Guys. Someone said they are in the middle at best.

I dare ask you, if Five Guys is in the middle as far as fast food burgers go - what the FUCK are you smoking at the top?

 

[VashHT]

Culvers has doulbe butter burgers with cheese for 2.50 on tues and thurs by me, pretty amazing price for that burger.

I'm not sure but are the Thick Burgers the same as the six dollar burgers at Carl's Jr?

I think everyone but one person rated five guys as above average, just overrated.

lolno. what mcdonald's passes for sausage is a disgrace.

the sausage biscuit didn't exist before Hardee's.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

Mcdouble and a mcchicken for some cheap eats.

(pic shows 2 mcdoubles though. best pic i could find)

 

[FeuerFrei]

I was a manager of a chicken express(mainly a franchise in Texaa) in the mid 2000s. The location I worked at grossed $5500-$9000 a day. The $4900 a day sounds low for a properly run McDonald's. I guess since its average they have a lot of bad locations or mismanaged locations.

If you're managing an in-store McDonald's at Wal*Mart then it's more like $1,300 to $1,700 per day.
I overheard some figures when I worked at Wal*Mart.

I totally agree with you, but that's what makes it so great. It's like a cacophony of shitty ingredients that turns the whole thing into an epic composition.

hmm, OK. after reading your Mcgangbang experiences, I guess I see what you are going with here.... :hmm:

I mean, we are talking about fast food, anyway.

to be clear, I was only referring to the sausage mcmuffin. The McGangbang I'd put on the same level as grilled bull penis - never again.

 

[zinfamous]

sure, you say that now...

 

[Imported]

Curse you all. I want a burger now.

 

[BUTCH1]

Well it's certainly not the healthiest type of meal but then again your home on the grill cheeseburger has the same drawbacks calorie-wise. IMHO you can't beat a Mcdouble, small drink, small fry for $3 for value, sure, there are dozens of better tasting burgers around but $3 for a burger/fry/drink is a true bargain..

 

[tcsenter]

I'm doing my part, since I only ever order from McD dollar menu for several years now, usually the McChicken, except when I get a hankering for Filet-O-Fish.

The local Burger King is one of those inside-the-truck-stop types, they do NOT have a dollar menu and won't serve anything from it even if you ask. So they get none of my business.

 

[Imported]

I only buy off the dollar menu.. but maybe once a month for breakfast. Sausage muffin + jelly.
