I do not see why McDonald's breakfast is so popular.

It's fast food. You always roll the dice....some restaurants have good managers and good staff. Others are REALLY bad and the health department should shut them down.

I've had some great McD's breakfasts before, but am not surprised when the biscuits fall apart or are dry...

The coffee is sometimes ok, but I usually don't chance it and just get a diet coke no matter what time of day it is.

2 breakfast burritos, a sausage egg mcmuffin, hashbrowns and coffee.... that's my normal McDonalds breakfast. I heard that they are possibly switching to a 24 hour breakfast menu in the near future... this will only speed up my heart attack.

I tried making my own sausage, egg with cheese mcmuffin with ingredients I got from the store. They tasted no where as good as the ones from McD's. Not even close.

And 2 for $2 is a hell of a deal.
mmm I LOVE those. :thumbsup:

My old stand-by at McD's is the sausage mCmuffin w/ egg but up here they make it with an English muffin instead of a biscuit. I have tried them in the States and they are even better :shocked:

But now Tim Horton's is selling the exact same thing with a biscuit. $$

My work serves breakfast, so that cover 5 days a week, and there isn't any way in hell you'd get me up for breakfast on a weekend.

I just dont see how Mc Donalds stays in business, all of their food just sucks, and the only thing remotely good at BK is the Stacker.
Wendys is just OK, I really like, though, Hardees and Sonic.

Must be an acquired taste. Personally, I can't imagine why anybody would eat anything from there - my last time was in 1989.

Hardee's is the place for breakfast. I love their Frisco Breakfast Sandwich and their biscuits are awesome (bacon, egg, & cheese biscuit and biscuits & gravy are gooood).

McDonalds is merely okay, but usually disappointing.

The only thing at McDonald's that I like is the Steak Bagel. We used to make our own food when we worked there, and it was way better than anything they actually serve.

Oh there was plenty of grease when I made them. I even used the oil from the sausage to cook the eggs with to give them more flavor yet they were still dissappointing.

yup. ok, I'm not sure about friggin amazing, but when you're in a bind, it's good. i don't expect much from fast food places, so maybe that taint's my view. But I have a sweet tooth and yeah... i wouldn't mind one now.

I get University Dining Hall Breakfast. Pancakes, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, Apple (and sometimes chocolate chip) pancakes, boiled potatoes, and an insane amount of fruit are available.

That day is either very far off or just not coming at all :)

Any thread detailing likes or dislikes of ANYTHING just brings in all the emo haters. :laugh:

Personally, I find it quite amusing :D

I love the sausage mcmuffins without egg too. The other day I went thru the drive thru and order just that "sausage mcmuffin without egg" The fvckin welfare bitches didn't put the cheese on it, i've been ordering those damn thing for 15 years that way and never once did they come without cheese.

I tried one of those mcgriddles, didn't much care for them.

BK's sausage egg and cheese crosandwich(sp?) are pretty good too, just a hell lot greasier.
