cajun filet biscuits were created to cure hangovers, IMO.

Ehhh that’s a reach
It’s better than bread if you’re trying to lose weight, since it has fewer calories.
But it has way more cholesterol and is worse for your overall heart health.
Just depends on what you’re prioritizing.

I generally try and stay away from fast food in general, and when I go... it's the more "high end" fast foods below.
Chick-fil-A
Chipotle/Qdoba
Penn Station
5 Guys
Pizza and Chinese food
Local places (Ex: My BG people will get this... Polleye's breadsticks and Mr Spots)
My fast food hot takes:
Chicken Fries from BK is all I will ever get from there. I'm down for a McD's Big Mac and their fries like 2-3 times a year (mostly for hangovers), and their .50 cent ice cream cone is money on a hot summer day. Taco Bell... must be drunk and after 2am. Arby's is actually underrated, I just never think to go there for some reason. Subway is overpriced for being the subpar shit that it is. I ate there alot though back when they had most of their subs as $5 foot longs. Staying with the overpriced theme... I'll never eat at Wendy's because what I can spend there on a burger and fries I might as well go to 5 Guys and get a superior product. Firehouse Subs I've only been to once and for almost $20 for two subs was far from impressed... don't understand why people like them. Jimmy John's is okay every once in awhile but it's a no frills cold cut sandwich at the end of the day and they go overboard with the mayo. I can make a better cold cut sandwich at home for a fraction of the cost. BW3 used to be a go to, but their 35 cent wing day turned into 70 cent wing day... rather just go somewhere local with better quality for the same or cheaper price. Rally's is toxic. Hardee's I haven't had in years, but even if their burgers are amazing it's not worth 2 days worth of calories. KFC sucks, I'd rather pay extra for Chick-fil-A or go to Popeyes which I think is actually solid, IMO, but it isn't worth feeling like hell after eating it. White Castle is disgusting... I couldn't be around people for 2 days after eating that because the smell of the farts alone are enough to kill a person. Zaxby's was mentioned earlier and I've only had them once because there isn't one close to me, but they're pretty solid. Long John Silvers I haven't had since I was a kid, and just have no desire to go there.
Think that covers most. So, basically the theme is your average fast food really isn't all that cheap for the most part so I rather spend a few extra bucks and maybe a little more time to get something that to me, tastes better.

Long John's blows Taco Bell away when it comes to making you crap.

is fucking garbage.
With all the significantly better sub places around amazed this is actually a chain. I even gave it a second chance because I was blown away how bad it was the first time.

I have been there recently, mentioned Whataburger as underrated. The honey BBQ sandwich is very good and their burgers are good for what they are.
Personally think 5 guys is a better burger, but that is a fast casual more than fast food, slight difference.

Greesey, nasty, make you shit yourself fish...and chicken. The chicken is cooked in the same greese as the fish, so yeah, it has a nasty after taste.
Have I sold you on Long John's? lol

My gf and I went there and I got their version of a philly cheese steak and she got a chicken salad sandwich. We were both pissed with how bad it was... especially for the price. I wanted to smack the shit out of my coworker the following Monday who was raving about how good they were. Especially when they are located right next to a Potbelly's, which is a decent small chain sub place. My only issue with them is that their bread doesn't toast very well. It's crumbly and messy as shit, not to mention tears your mouth up as a result.
