Looks like McDonald's is reaping what it sowed. Shit food at shit prices and no one wants to buy?! SHOCKER.

Also there are fast food alternatives to McDonalds as well.

IMO, Wendy's has much better burgers. Haven't had Carl's Jr's in a long while but I remember their "$6 Burgers" were pretty good.

Burger King, the meat quality seems to have gone downhill. Like an unchewable but in each meat patty. They used to be my favorite.

Edit: the "$6 burger" is now called the thick burger since it now costs more than $6

Welcome to Carl's Jr!

Fuck you. I'm eating!

Please come back when you can afford to make a purchase!

Dairy Queen has a $6 meal deal with a burger, fries, drink, and a sundae. All of it far better than MCD.

There’s also an option of chicken strips instead of burger if you want chicken instead of beef

I had Five Guys for the first time ever last year and I was surprised by how good their burger was. The prices were a little shocking, but the food was not bad.

Went to Five Guys and made the mistake of ordering the Grilled Cheese.

It was a burger bun, turned inside out, with a sad slab of half-melted American cheese between the pieces.

Never going back.

Just don't get the grilled cheese. Their burgers are fuckin bomb though.

And their Cajun fries are pretty damn good, too.

The only reason I've only ever eaten at 5guys once is the fact that the place is just stupid with peanut shells.

[-] Drusas@kbin.run 1 points 4 months ago

Huh. Not where I went.

In Canada, A&W has cheaper prices for WAY better quality food. It was a few years back we were enjoying some "as a treat" and realized it was not just significantly better than McD's, but also much cheaper, and we decided we just weren't going back.

My household is partial to a couple of chicken buddy burgers in a time crunch.
