Whats your favorite fast food chain to visit?

I havent touched them in a long while but i realize the landscape has rly changed.
Burger King is my favorite right now but its also the only one ive tried.
I visited McDonalds recently but they didnt have anything worth buying.
 
I guess it's Burger King. They have an Impossible Whopper on Wednesdays for $3.
Wednesday is my hiking day and I drive right by BK on my way home. So a lot of time I go to the drive thru, order the burger (no mayo, no cheese, no fries, no drink).

Usually when I get home it isn't very hot so I put some frozen French fries in the air fryer. Then reheat the burger and add vegan mayo and cheese.

(Shoot I just realized that it would probably be better for me to just buy a box of Beyond Burgers and make them when I get home)

I joined the Taco Bell Club on my phone and get daily offers. I usually delete them because they aren't something I'd eat or because I don't have the time to go there. but once I was heading home in the afternoon and hadn't had lunch so I stopped in and got a customizable lunch box deal. It wasn't very good so I haven't been back. But they seem to have a lot of vegan options. I do intend to give them a second chance before I turn off their offers.

They opened a Panda Express a few minute walk from my house in the mall's food court - which has a nice outdoor patio. I went there a few times last summer for some "patio dining". I'll have to check it out again when it gets warmer, but I'm under the impression that they discontinued the one vegan dish I liked.

Oh ya i love the options Taco Bell gives. We have those kiosks in the stores now which make it really easy to customize, and i love that their serving sizes are small. If it werent for the FODMAPs i would eat there all the time.

Chinese food seems to always have garlic :sniff: but i do remember enjoying the taste of the eggplant tofu and the supergreens, altho the eggplant tofu is on the sweeter side and both are quite oily.

Bibibop 100%. They're mostly in Ohio, with a few in states around Ohio.

It used to be Subway, but they're privately owned and some were just nasty.. Now they're owned by Arbys and I'd rather go hungry.
If Burger King were by my job I'd go there. Maybe. I hate leaving on my lunch half hour so I always pack any way.
Qdoba is my favorite burrito place, not a fan of Chipotle
Can't think of the other sub places.

Oh. back in the day, my gym had a Subway next door. I would eat there for a late breakfast about once a week. I would get the Veggie Delite. I always felt it was a rip off tho. it was the same price as the ham and cheese - but without any ham and cheese.

nowadays sometimes I buy some subway rolls and make my own veggie sandwiches. However I have to chop all those vegetables. As long as I'm chopping vegetables I usually just make a big salad.

Last time I got Subway I ordered for myself and my sons. My sons were getting subs with meat, that were on the 5 for $5 footlong deal. I got a footlong Veggie. First off, the guy was being really stingy with my toppings, which I never had problems with, saying they have a 'limit' :rolleyes: .When it came to pay mine was more expensive., and I said mine was the same as theirs, with meat held. He turned out to be the manager!. I left them all on the counter and left

I wish we had Greggs in Canada - I haven't been to any fast food place in a long time and if I did it would be A&W or one of the pizza places that has vegan cheez and meat substitutes.

I like Greggs. We usually have that or McDonalds, but Burger King was very nice when we went on a road trip recently.
Greggs is mine too although I love the Thai food place near us, but that isn't part of a chain, just a local business.

Greggs is a UK based store. I just know about them from ppl here. but until now I thought it was a grocery store chain. the vegan sausage and roll got a lot of buzz.

and I never heard of a Qdoba. There are none near me.

The vegan sausage rolls are second to none. Vegans also seem to like the steak bake too although my omnivore brother who loves the sausage rolls doesn't think much of them. I have yet to try them.

Love, love the vegan no steak bake.
The vegan sausage rolls are really tasty.
I also like their doughnuts.
 
I only. recently started reading Veg Out but the more I see of it the more I like it.

I still don't like Taco Bell that much. I still go to BK around once a month.
But most interesting I've never eaten at Shake Shack, even though I have one a 5 minute walk away. I totally want to try out the "Black Truffle ShroomBurger + crinkle-cut fries + their new vegan vanilla shake (made with NotCo pea protein ice cream)."


On a related note, I keep seeing commercials for Nick The Greek. They appear to have a vegan bowl, I really like bowls and I want to go and check it out. Has anyone gone there?

A vegan woman I follow on YT said she liked the vegan Shake Shack burger more than any other vegan burger. I've never tried it either as we were near a location but we had just eaten.

I didn't know Shake Shack had a vegan burger. I have a Shake Shack near me that recently opened, so I might give it a try.
 
I don't go to fast food places unless you count pizza. I haven't been to BK in a long time since I just cook my own Impossible burger for half the price! I have never seen a Shake Shack. We have Steak & Shake here but they don't have a vegan burger.
