	So I just ate at McDonalds Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

And I was dissappointed to say the least, for the money i paid i would have gotten some really nice kebab or pizza. But no I had to waste it on a cold fries and a hamburger that got stuck to the container so half the bottom bun got ripped off. So where are your worst and best fast food places?

Ahmed's But since I've had to many of them, it's strict(ish)ly sandwhich shops from now on. KFC's usually pretty good, as far as UK fast food goes.

McDonalds burger in a container? They usually just wrap it up in paper here.

Know what you mean, behind my corner there's an Italian delly who makes fantastic home-made pizza's, lasagnas etc. for the same price as I can get some crap McD eugh.. crap.
Actually, this holds true for the chinese take-out too.

Yes do they do the paper thing here as well but this was some sort of special McTasty thing in a cardboard container, would rather have the paper.

Yeah, McD isn't worth it, I realized this a while ago and I had absolutely the same thoughts. I could have eaten something better instead.
The only thing that I can probably still eat are those chicken nuggets and fries. The burgers at McD have come a long way down.

Hamburger - boring
Cheesburger - a bit less boring
McChicken - my favorite once, now just a pile of loosely organized next-to-nothing-tastes. Can be eaten by adding lots of sweet-sour sauce.
McCountry - second favorite for a while, then they changed it - for worse. Haven't tried it ever since (~6 years ago)
Hamburger Royal - don't know anymore, one of those that I ate in the later days. Probably still one of the better ones (doesn't mean much though).
Big Mac - never liked it, too much anyway
Fish Mac - never tried

Only fast food I consume nowadays is Kebab (and Pizza if you count that as fast food). There are good places to get Kebab here.

Yeah, it's fine going other places, but just ask yourself, do you get annoying, unskilled service, or endless high-pitched beeping from machinery at the Chinese or Italian places?

Plus you can always count on leaving from McDonalds with a healthy appetite still intact.

The only 'fast food' I get in here is kebab.. because it's the cheapest and you get a lot of it and it's pretty good.

The prices in here are a joke anyway.. a big mac costs what.. the meal.. like over 7 euros? I can't even afford that. The kebab joints give you a kebab roll (haha! Our secret kebab!) for 5 euros and that's HUUUUUUUUUUUGE. Pizzas go usually for 5 euros and kebab meals in a real plate and all that, gos for less than 5 euros in lunch time. They have the greatest deals. No one can compete with their prices.

So I sometiems grab myself one of those.

Schwarz Brothers is the best hamburger place I know of, but it's not really fast food. I'm not even sure they're still going.

They cook your burger fresh every time, and arrange it as you see fit.

Of course, given the queues at BK and McDs, it's questionable if they are really "fast" food either.

Good fast food? Surely a contradiction in terms.

I haven't eatin' at a fast food place in over a month now.

However, I use to eat a McDs all the time. More for it being fast than it being good. Jack in the Box and Carl Jr.'s has much better hamburgers. Still, for hamburgers around here you really need to go to the little independent places. We have a place called Kirk's and his son has similar places called Brix; excellent brugers.

Arby's is just as awful as McDs. I would still find myself shoving down the awful, lightly crunchy, roast beef sandwhiches.

Boston Market over KFC for chicken.. not bad

Taco Bell is my favorite fast food. It is a lot harder to F up beans... though I probably give them the benefit of the doubt as I expect to get explosive diarreha when I eat it.

The best fast food are delis. Independent ones if you can hunt them down.. Else, I like Quiznos and I even get a craving for Subway now and then.

woaa you must be earning a fortune (or be very slim).
Kebab is 3 Euros, Big Mac is €2.75.
Pizza (a whole one) 6-9 Euros.

hmmm

I actually had a big mac yesterday-- I got it because it was quick-- I was walking past

Now it was less than two bucks Canadian (apparently they are on special on Tuesdays) and it wasn't as horrible as I feared


Usually if I have the craving for a cheap burger, I'll go to Wendy's. Their cheap burger has onion, lettuce and tomato and the patty seems more like meat to me than most. I can usually grab a quick little lunch there for less than 3.50. (Note I NEVER buy beverages since my office provides pop, juice and bottled water)

The Big Mac is awesome, people One of the tastiest foods around.

But come on, you can't compare it with real food... because it isn't! Its like candy that looks like a sandwhich, its all about the taste, nothing more. Like Japher said, you have to go to a little place if you want a "real" burger.

The Big Mac The best dessert around.

Worst fast food? Harveys. Closely followd by the other burger chains. None of them are any good.

Best? Quizno's Subs.

oh yeah quizno is decent.. too bad we don't have it in here.. what I'd most like is Subway.. I really liked subway.. but then again, we do have subway in here.. but only very few of them, all in Helsinki I believe, and too far away. Besides they're very FINNISH in there, meaning they save on the material... you're lucky if you get one whole slice of cheese and one slice of everything. MAN they are CHEAP. Nothing like the US subways.. which I really loved.

The one with tuna... tuna sub maybe? Anyway that was brilliant.. SOOOOOOOOOOOO good.. and of course mbl.. or mlb.. what do you call it.. you k now with them meats on it. Forgot the acronym.

I've noticed in the Brit ones - if it's at a popular destination for US tourists, they're generous. If it's off a main drag they're stingy and mean.

Only because it's Belgian.

It is better than McD though, or should I say: less worse.

Tally another one for kebab for best fast food Though those Turkish pizza thingies (I can never remember what they're called) are pretty good as well.

Worst fast food is definitely the American kind: McD, BK, KFC...

I suppose my favorite kind of fastfood is pizza.

It's not often I eat at fastfood places these days, tho. Eaten at McD three times during the last year, and one of them because I was accompanying my parents at a shopping spree and they insisted on eating lunch there.

The one I really hate is BK, who I boycott since an inedible meal they served me in Stockholm some years ago.
