Pretty much all those places are fast food joints known for low quality high fat poor diet foods, no surprise.

Places not on the list

Chiptole (Mc partially owns this)
Subway

^^Overall better quality product.

Subway is terrible.. My footlong $5 sub from Publix today destroyed anything Subway could ever try to do.

You just repeatedly prove you know nothing by spouting nonsense such as that quoted! You know nothing Zin Famous!

Popeye's is easily the best national chicken chain. And, surprise surprise! national chains fared poorly... And guess what? Taco Bell does 100x the amount of business as Dell Taco!

Popeye's is gross. The chicken has that same "soaked in solvents" texture that Wendy's chicken has with far worse flavor. Nasty stuff.

It is from "Consumer's Reports" so if they get any part of the list correct it is by pure accident.

urprised Domino's doesn't rank below Pizza the Hut. The salty piece or artificially cheesed bread barely qualifies as pizza. Little Caesars isn't terrible for $5. I think North Americans have proven time and time again that quality and freshness of the food doesn't matter as long as it's quick and cheap. Bit surprised Subway didn't make it because they've really been pooping the bed over the last few years. Last time I went the bread was both stale AND burnt.

Because the list is actually very terrible. They have some of the bad ones like Taco Bell and McDonalds but Pizza Hut and Burger King are not that bad. Also any time I have had Sbarros it has been good. but I have only had it a few times from the mall.

LOL at all the internet lists and comments and posts about how this restaurant or that restaurant is so horrible. Especially McDs, b/c I always wonder who it is that's keeping them in business, since everyone hates them so much.

I say anyone who posts about how awful any given fast food chain is probably a closet fan in complete denial and probably sneaks a few medls each week from there.

So please post how awful you think whatever chain is... :biggrin:

In Subway everything is pretty pure (or as pure as you can get considering fast food). The only bad things are the chicken breast are not really whole breast.

i LOVE me some panda express (orange chicken owns) and taco bell. i get taco bell almost weekly.

i'd rather eat panda than shit like pf chang. tastes better to me and is 1/2 the price. i'm just a pf chang hater though. actually ate at pei wei today which apparently they own, and it's way better than pf chang.

How dare they put Panda Express on this list. It's literally one of my favorite restaurants. I am not trolling or joking.

If I didn't have food in the oven right now I'd go get some.

That is because Pei Wei makes some very good food. Panda Express is not that bad actually.

haha yeah it's definitely up there with one of my favorite fast food joints. they do have some shitty stuff though. one time i got some honey glazed shrimp that was TERRIBLE. i got it instead of my normal orange chicken, and it was hard to finish it.

my wife and i went to a specific mall on memorial day just so after looking for some furniture we could get panda express. they actually have a panda (non-express one, one that has seats and places inside of it, outside of the mall) right by my job. that is the only one i know of. but i'd rather eat pei wei than panda, but pei wei isn't the same type of "fast food". they cook it to order.

I used to like Church's Chicken. When I lived in Oakland there was one a block away from my apt. hehe...it had bullet proof glass at the counter, but the chicken was good.

what kind of pizza is this?!
it looks GOOD!

Worst_Fast_Food_Restaurants_Pizza_Hut.jpg




and this burger looks good but I don't know why.
perhaps it's rectangular instead of round?

whoever the photographer was for the pic should get a job in advertising.
it's making me want to get that burger but I don't know exactly why it appeals to me.

it's smashed, not round. i'd guess it's a double whopper

My God - this does look good! Why won't my computer make the picture real!!! Cheap computer!. ... WHAT?!? that is under Pizza Hut!!! My pizza hut doesn't make a pizza like that...

... I pretty much agree with the list too though - if I don't out right dislike it - it is only so so - or I only like one thing... like CiCi cinnamon rolls... so horrible - yet so good.

I agree, I used to prefer Burger King when I needed or was short on time however about 10 years ago BK started to go real ghetto (calling itself BK). Cleanliness went down, locations were not well maintained and food seemed stale. Definitely not a fan of them now.
Little Caesars was great when I was young, have a party with some buddies scrounge up $25.00 then order 4 large pizza's a couple of salads for the women, bread sticks and some other crap. The amount of stuff you could get for $20-$30 was amazing.
