Kommisar's Fast Food Critique Thread

Re: Kommisar's Fast Foot Critique Thread

I always liked Five Guys for their burgers (their fries suck) and McDonalds for their nuggets and fries (their burgers suck).

In N' Out is also fantastic but I don't get it here on the east coast. Burger King feels like everything's been burnt to a charcoal crisp (I hate BK and feel like shit whenever I eat anything there), and Whataburger/A&W is nothing special IMO.

Carl's Jr is probably one of my favorites if only because it was near my high school growing up, so I place sentimental/nostalgic value on it.

In 'n Out is pretty much as fresh as you can get in terms of burger joints go. They have a really small menu (along with a secret menu for the frequenters). The fries are amazing, they actually peel and cut the potatoes for the fries for each order, never frozen or anything...can't get any more fresh than that. They have a couple of milkshakes which are just -ok-...they kinda leave your throat dry and wanting an actual drink. The burgers themselves taste like something you'd make at home at a backyard barbeque really.

Carl's Jr is my favorite fast food place. They give you massive portions of food and drink for the money, especially their Six Dollar Burgers. Their fries unfortunately (at the location nearest me anyway) suck. They end up soggy and saltless, though they do offer what they call Criss-Cut fries (similar to Jack-in-the-Box's curly fries, different shape) which are pretty good. Favorite burger by far is their Double Western cheeseburger. Two beef patties, cheese, onion rings, lots of bacon, and barbeque sauce.

Haven't had enough Del Taco, El Pollo Loco, or A&W to really give a good critique on those. I know Del Taco is probably the worst restaurant around here though. Terrible food experiences there.

Ninja'd DS on CJ

IDK if they do this elsewhere but I always got the Big Burger there, which typically wasn't on the menu

I can attest to this though. Their fries are flavorless, floppy, flaccid little potatococks for all I know. I still think McDonalds wins out on the fries comparison.

Re: Kommisar's Fast Foot Critique Thread

ive never had good criss cut fries at carls jr. they always give them to me completely soaked in grease and i usually take a bite or two and either throw them out or give them to whoever is eating with me. i cant say i really have a favourite burger from their because i usually find their promo burgers to be insanely good

Quickly checked to make sure Harvey's received a higher rating than McD's, Burger King, and DQ. Once credibility was established, continued reading

Good stuff here, shame to hear their burgers aren't 100% beef, but god damn it they're still ****ing brilliant

Re: Kommisar's Fast Foot Critique Thread

oh they're still fantastic, they just add protein and water to make them look fuller.

What do you guys think of KFC? Personally, I can't stand it.

At one point they offered popcorn chicken which looked good in the advertisements, so I thought eh, what the hell. Doesn't look super super unhealthy. However, the popcorn chicken was like 90% batter 5% chicken 5% unknown. Got my money back and haven't been back since.


Oh, and do you guys count Chipotle as fast food? <3 their Burrito Bowls.

Re: Kommisar's Fast Foot Critique Thread

Chipotle wins the universe, but no drive-thru, so don't think it's fast food really.

KFC is too greasy for me, I can't stand being able to drink grease off of a drumstick.

When you come to Toronto, you must try The Burger's Priest.

It awaits you.

The Tower of Babel is what is shown here.

Re: Kommisar's Fast Foot Critique Thread

i think the proper term is "fast casual" or something to that effect, but fuc that lmfao.

Chipotle rules, so does Moe's.

Re: Kommisar's Fast Foot Critique Thread

I'll add KFC in a few.

When I say fast food, I refer to a restaurant where you order before sitting down and the cashier does all the serving.


Also if you're around southern New-Brunswick, this is the best burger place ever



they later added poutine to their menu, which is one of the best in town as well

Re: Kommisar's Fast Foot Critique Thread

Well then Chipotle is considered fast food then. Omnomnomnom.

Re: Kommisar's Fast Foot Critique Thread

I love KFC, but that's because the one that I used to go to really wasn't all too bad as far as grease went. I've been to KFC's where the chicken and breading was soggy as if it was soaked in water for the past hour.

Another thing Taco Bell is pretty good for is their chicken. I am in love with their chicken quesadillas.

A lot of these restaurants I haven't heard of, especially west coast ones. But I'm not a fan of Chipotle but that's probably because the one time I had it, it was repulsive.

Re: Kommisar's Fast Foot Critique Thread

I've only been to white castle once in NYC and it was -ok-. Though I gotta give them credit for being the first restaurant to use the modern hamburger we all know and love today.
