I actually really like the new sw chicken sandwich

i think it's far superior to chick fil a
 
I stay away from Taco Bell. Too much transfat. Don't eat McDonalds because it makes my digestive system go bananas. BK is okay, but Wendy's is my favorite. I like Amigo's occasionally, haven't had it for a long ass time though.
 
voted wendy's but if im in the mood for a hamburger, i make sure to do my stomach justice and go to in-n-out. you've had the rest, now have the best.
 
Burger King
It's all about the taste of the meat. Plus they have mega-sized burgers so you feel like you are getting your money's worth. And they have the best fries, and also the onion ring option with some zesty dip which is good in moderation.

Wendy's has kind of lost their way. I no longer see anything on the menu I want to order. They dropped their healthy "club" sandwiches and the Big Bacon Classic. Though I think some Wendy's have readded the BigBaconClassic due to popular demand.

McDonalds is not even on my radar. A few months back I took my daughter to one for my first visit in years and was forcefully reminded why I don't eat there. Think I had a quarter-pounder. I was impressed with the dining area upgrades. Nice and upscale looking, though somewhat smacks of a hotel dining room.
 
I just tried Taco Time (I think that is the name of the place) for the first time yesterday, and I prefer it to Taco Bell. I wish we had a Taco Time in the area where I live. 🙁 We don't have any Arby's in my area either, so I am also dining there on occasion during this trip.
 
In terms of value menu, Wendy's takes the cake. I love BK's Jr. Whopper though. McD value menu is nasty, their burgers are barf.
 
Never tried Wendy's. I like BK because their portions tend to stay the same, while McD's keep getting smaller and smaller.
 
The quality of Wendy's burgers has gone down the last few years, while Burger King's has gone up.

This causes an unfortunate dilemma, since Frostys > everything.

I intentionally avoided adding regional chains or smaller ones like Hardee's or Whataburger (sp?). I actually started thinking about this because Burger King has a lock on the military market (being on bases everywhere, at least Army and Air Force -- not sure about Navy/USMC), and they suck generally, particular on military installations, perhaps due to lower quality control from higher ups (difficulty of base access?).

The BK on Luke AFB was closed down a while back. For what reason exactly, I don't know. But there is a CreAsian<sp> restaurant there now.
 
McD's for breakfast, fries, and nuggets

BK for burgers and Onion Rings

Wendy's for Broccoli and Cheese Baked Potatoes, Freezes, and Chili.

I used to get BK's onion rings, then I tried the ones from Carl's Jr. I can never go back to BK onion rings after that.

BK has the best fries?!? You're high -- they suck at fries. Hell, Arby's has better fries. 🙂

I do agree about the Wendy's "healthy" sandwiches. I used to love getting those and a side salad, but I don't go to Wendy's much anymore because there aren't any close by.
 
I too like BK's fries. I think mcd's fries are nasty, soggy greasy over salted garbage. You're lucky to get some that aren't brown and wrinkly. BK's fries are always crisp and salted just right.

I like wendys jr bacon cheeseburgers and frotys and BK's burgers are good.
 
TACO BELL

McD's for the dbl cheese
Wendy's for the ju bac
BK for the Whopper (I don't go to BK a lot, but the whopper is good)
 
Didn't Arbys just buy out Wendys?

Anyways, those two + Chipotle would be my personal "big 3"

of which I can't believe Chipotle hasn't been mentioned, but then maybe most people don't consider it in the same light as other fast food...
