Subway - Agree. **** quality ingredients. Barely any meat. overall ****.

BK - Just lol if you don't think a whopper tastes better than Mcdonald's burgers. Whopper > Big mac/quarter pounder

Jimmy Johns - I have always had a good experience. Bread tastes good, meats have actual flavor versus subway + Gargantuan = hnnnnggg

I eat fast food but once or twice every 6 months or so.

From what I remember, BK had some decent-tasting burgers. Nothing special but I can see how fat people could love them.

I haven't been to subway in years (used to be a regular). Never miss it either. The food is filled with sodium yet still manages to taste bland. People will continue to buy it regardless though, I've seen three new subways open around town in the last 2 years.

Went to a jimmy johns once. The food was edible but also tasted bland.


Whataburger > any other fast food burger place. (Texas brahs know this feel)

I love that sort of semi-burnt broiled taste of the whopper, i also enjoy the seed buns drowned in mayo, gotta love mayo.

the big mac, though enjoyable with the sauce, if you remove that, it's sort of a weird textured soggy patty.

Mind is blown that they still make Steak-Umm. Had to Google it, lol. Haven't seen or heard about them since the early 80's.

Subway: it's terrible. Junk meat on stale bread. However once in a blue I'll get a chicken and bacon ranch with double meat and crab meat.

BK: Chicken fries and grilled dogs are good. I know their burgers are decent but I'll choose McDonald's everytime. BK never really earned my trust.

Taco Bell is the GOAT major fast food chain though. Not really debatable.

Because most Muricans are idiot sheep and they follow where they are told to go. So therefore they go to chains when they could get better food at a local place, but they dont know about it because they didn't see a commercial

Or you know...it just tasted better. I like eating at local places when traveling but most of the time they are garbage unless they are "known". Alot of gems out there too but...meh.

BRB $15 for one Jimmy Johns sandwich delivered after delivery fee, tax and $1-2 tip.

They must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Agreed taco bell is the goat. I've never had anything bad from there and every item they have is good. Probably ate there 1000 times too

Jimmy johns is pretty good.

Subways is garbage though. Everytime I go into a subways I come out smelling like preservation chemicals.

When did Wendy's knock BK out of the 2nd most successful fast food joint, it was a few years ago. Is BK even still #3? The fact that their business to climb back to #2 is to sell hot dogs should be a sign. Chipotle followed the trend of the recession of minimalist menu, stark interiors, for slightly more expensive food.

The reason $5 coffees or $5 cupcake businesses exist is because customers feel like they're splurging on a luxury item but only spending $5.

But BK just stuck to their cheap nasty guns figuring customer would come back once the economy stables out again but it hasn't happened.

Jimmy Johns - no idea. I guess because they are relatively new they seem cool. They aren't any better than subway and they are pricier.

Burger King - seems like they are always coming up with new chit. Hit it miss depending on location. Not bad.

Subway - not great but very consistent. You know what to expect. My experience anyways.


Aside from these three, Chick Fil A is the undisputed GOAT, with taco bell close behind.
