Wendy's, Mcdonalds, or Burger King- Which Do You LIke Best?

[Livewire]

Once in a while, I like to eat some fast food. Sometimes, however, it's hard to decide where to go. I like all three major chains, Wendy's, Mcdonalds, and Burger King. Help!! What do you like best?

[Calhoun07]

I voted for Burger King. I really don't care for McDonalds burgers because they always feel the need to smother them in onions and they are so blah, and I haven't gotten to eat at Wendys enough to make a decision there, and Burger King does have a bacon cheese burger I really like.

But my favorite fast food place is Dairy Queen.

[JustJack]

Wendy's, HANDS DOWN!! Sometimes quality is better...

McDonalds: Doesn't cook their chicken. Their fries aren't that great. And the only thing I really like there, is the Big Mac. And their employee's don't seem to know how to make it(I usually get a box filled with bread, meat, & everything else..but I have to make it myself, basically..)
Burger King: This place is a BIJILLION times better than McDonalds. They have my absolute most favorite fries. Mmm...But, their Chicken Tenders are about all I eat. Even so, their burgers are better than McDonalds, imo
Wendy's: Love their Chicken Nuggets. Their fries are better than McDonalds. I love their BBQ sauce. Burgers are bigger. They aren't squished flat, their big n' plump. Mmm. Plus their meats seem a whole lot less generic, for some reason?

[Psycho Fox]

Well A&W Chubby Chicken is good but I really not that enthusiastic about A&W's burgers.

Wendy's is cool but there locations are limmited.

I find Burger King better the Mcdonalds.

[Terminatah]

First of all, let me express my deepest regrets for the recent death of Wendy's frontman Dave Thomas. He was the man, Dan Turpin to Ronald McDonald's Superman.

SECOND RUNNER UP: Burger King sucks sucks sucks. I cannot properly convey just how much Burger King sucks. Can I say that? It sucks? Because there is no other word for it! It sucks!

FIRST RUNNER UP: McDonald's fries are the best fries ever. I don't know WHAT Burger King is thinking with their fries. McDonald's fries are made on Mount Olympus by Zeus himself. Their burgers and McNuggets are good too.

WINNER: Wendy's only edges out McDonald's on my list because I think it's healthier. No, not healthier ... what do I mean? Oh yah, not as unhealthy. But all their food tastes great. I usually have the chicken sandwich. And I think it's great that they let retarded people work the drive-thru late at night.

I notice Taco Bell ain't on the list. Is this a poll or is this a poll? I would rank it between McDonald's and BURGER SUCK.

WENDY'S ALL THE WAY! They have the best tasting fast food burgers I've ever tasted, and the selection of foods on the 99 cents menu can't be beaten! :cool::):D

[batboy2001]

Burger king hands down! Mmmmmm, grilled goodness.

[Kathy Kane]

I voted for BK, because I sometimes eat thier food, it's been ages since I ate at Wendys, but their food aint bad.
McDonld's can burn in hell.....I hate corperations like them and their food is for the kids.

[Supernovametalstar]

I voted for Burger King. These are the reasons why:

1. Taste. BK tastes better to me than the other two. Wendy's is second, but their fries are kinda bland. I don't know why McDonalds claims to have the best tasting fries, as they are hard, bland, and always end up cold after a minute. Even salt doesn't help them. While Burger King's fries stay hot longer than the burger does, they don't need salt or ketchup, and don't have that pasty taste that McD's has. Burger wise, each restaurants specialty burgers are good EXCEPT FOR Mcdonald's. The sauce makes me queasy.

2. Service. Everytime I go into a BK I get a nice reception with friendly people. The staff at most every McD I've been to is "yeah, what you want". What I want is to take my business elsewhere if you can't be the very least bit enthusiastic. BK's food arrives faster than McD's and you usually don't have to wait in a too crowded line.

3. Price. McD's price for their food is not worth the taste, but BK is. Plus, you get full and stay full a lot longer with thier bigger burgers and more generous fry portions than McD's. Wendy's is the cheapest place with their .99 cent menu, but I'm hard pressed to find one downtown that doesn't over bloat their prices to $2.39. So I'd say it's a tie with Burger Kind and Wendy's in this area.

Truth be told, I don't eat out that much. I only go to Mcdonald's during what I like to call their "cheap meat" days. You know, the .39 cent cheeseburger or 2 for $2 quarter pounder days. When I do decide I want some cheeseburgers I go to Burger Kind, or if I want a great bacon cheeseburger along with a frosty, Wendy's.

[Karkull]

They're all pretty bad, but they each have their moments.

[Zero Yuy]

Wendy's for sure.

I ate at Burger King about once or twice. I didn't like it.
McDonalds is okay, but I'd rather eat at Wendy's if I had the choice.

It's Burger King all the way for me... I'll eat Wendy's and McDonald's if I have to... but lately, their food goes right through me. It doesn't help that McDonald's and Wendy's fry their burgers, so it doesn't lose any of the grease or fat (hence why it goes right through me). BK's burgers are actually flame broiled, so they aren't soaking in grease... Their french fries are always crisp and crunchy... and they actually taste like potato!

Wendy's used to have the best salads, but now they've got that Garden Sensation stuff that's just utterly disgusting... I used to love their Grilled Chicken Caeser Salads, but alas they are no more, as is my visits to Wendy's...

[Kylewayne]

To tell the the truth, I hate all three. But if my friends and I go to one of these "eek" places I would prefer McDonalds because of their fries and ice cream sundays^^.

[Supernovametalstar]

I forgot about Wendy's salad bar. My mother used to drag us over there all the time so she could make several of them. When they got rid of them, that's when she stopped going. I didn't help that there are only about five of them in the Chicago area, all spead out on different sides of the city.

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

Sorry, McDonalds = coffee too hot + dead rat heads = traumatized little girls.

Burger King's burgers fill you up more, and don't have as much goofyness as McDonald's service (squeak!).

Wendy's is cool. but a little on the greasy side over in my locations.

[Mr. Unspeakable]

I go to Wendy's for the burgers and the .99 cent menu. The reason I feel Wendy's burgers taste better is that they have the highest percentage of real beef in their burgers. McD's are mostly soy and whatnot. BK is lowest on my list because the one in my area had a lot of sulfur in their water and they had a bad habit of screwing up my orders.

[batboy2001]

Who hates mayo on their burgers? :eek:

Mayo is, IMO, the most ridiculous condiment to put on a burger! It just ruins it. I always ask for no mayo, and then mak sure the persn taking my order heard me.
As for the poll...Wendy's is my winner. The burgers are very good, the fries are better thn most people think, their chicken nuggests are the best, te $.99 value menu is awesome when money is short, they have decent tasting salads, and their chilli is pretty darn good. Oh, and the Frosty's!!!
Seond place is Burger King. Their burgershave a very good taste to them, and I like their chicken tenders. Their grilld chickn sandwich in't too bad either.
Last is McDonald's. I am never "smiling" after i eat their food. Burgers are bland, chicken mcnuggets are sickening, their special sauce is suspect at best. French Fries does not a fast food place make, IMHO. Start over Ronald!
Honorable mention not on this list...Arby's.

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

I don't mind it on my chicken burgers, but it is a little odd tasting on beef, I guess...

[batboy2001]

Same with me, okay on chicken, nasty on beef.

[Calhoun07]

When I go to Texas Tom's (who actually has the best hamburgers I've ever had) I put mayo and extra ketchup on my hamburgers. I like mayo and ketchup mixed.

But if I really could have it, I'd pick Jack Daniels' Barbeque Sauce over either of those.

[Fantasie117]

Wendy's Crispy Chicken Nuggets quite simply rule all so I voted for them. Their fries are tasty, too, but sometimes I get a really good Double Cheeseburger at Burger King...*drools*

My dad liked that salad, also, and he was depressed they stopped making it. But then they started making this Bacon Bits Salad. I don't know it's real name except he gets that now.

It's okay. They give it to me at Friendly's somtimes. With everything else on the burger, I can't even taste it.

My mom is big into the Ketchup/Mayo Mix...

I'm ambivalent...so long as there's no mustard or pickles..I'm cool.

I gotta go with D. None of the Above..
McDonalds ppl are jerks....and they don't serve burgers when i want them to. Back when I worked overnights, I'd get off @ 7 & I'd be really hungry, but McDs wouldn't make me a hamburger. Not that they're good anyway..
BK - Their burgers taste burned. I like the fries.
Wendys...Too Much Ketchup & Mayo...makes the burger feel like it's been drowned.
Eh, I'll stick with Tuna Subs from Subway.

[Calhoun07]

If McDonald's is apparently so unpopular, why do they make more money?

[Naraht]

42 Cent 42 Oz. Sodas through the drive through helps them get my money...and I like their fries...and I like monopoly.

I just don't like them...

[TuffyCatt]

Hmm...I think my vote would have to be really close between Burger King and Wendys. I think I'll go with Wendys because it has the most variety...if I go there and don't feel like some kinda burger or sandwich I can always get one of their stuffed baked potatoes or a bowl of chile. Their special "limited time burgers" are really good too. Plus, their frosties are IMO the best milkshakes you can get at a fast food place.

Burger King has really good fries and I love their BK Broiler.

McDonalds is okay if I'm in the right mood. I like their crispy chicken sandwiches.

Taco Bell, though is the best fast food place ever! :p I love Taco Bell...mmmm... :D

[Naraht]

ok, I've seen it twice, so I must speak up.

TACO BELL S**KS!

I'm sorry, the food isn't good, the price is right, but that's about it.
They serve Pepsi, not Coke..the ads are the bane of my existance...

I've lived in El Paso..I've had real Mexican Food....in Mexico! Taco Bell is crap in a shell.

</Rant>

Awww...oh well. Not everyone can agree on everything.

I still love Taco Bell though! :p

I haven't eaten much Mexican food, which I know is 10 X better than Taco Bell. But as far as fast food is concerned, I like Taco Bell
the best. Just my personal opinion. :)

[batboy2001]

Okay, what is everyones fave sub place? Blimpos, simply sucks! I guess subway is okay. None of them put enough stuff in the sandwich!

[TuffyCatt]

For subs...Sheetz MTO subs are probably my favorite. Zeros and Subway are good too. They're all pretty much the same to me...whatever happens to be closest.

[Caped Crusader]

I voted for BK;they have the best burgers and chicken nuggets(I don't care what they say,that's not chicken in the Mc-nuggets!)

[Danielle]

I personally like Nathans. :D Although the only kosher one is in L.A.........*sigh* I miss California....... :(


Going on to the hamburgers/mayo thing, my answer is this: YOU LIKE HAMBURGERS?! :eek: ;)

[Karkull]

It's not authentic Tex-Mex, but Taco Bell is good.

I'll eat at McDonalds on occasion--I'll get a craving for a Big Mac every once and a while. On the plus side: there is one location that still carries Surge in my area! I'll stop by them at least once a week for a drink.

Burger King and Wendy's are okay.

[Livewire]

Now do you know why I have such a hard time picking a place to go? I love McDonalds french fries, I really like BK's Whoppers and I really enjoy Wendy's Jr. Bacon cheeseburgers. And you guys were supposed to help me decide? :confused: :)

[The Flash]

CHECKARS!!!! Oh, wait, it's not there! :D Umm, Wendy's or Burger King, but Wendy's got my vote. Donalds = a light snack *. Those "burgers" are too small. I mean the patties are about 1/2 a cm thick. It's horrible...

* For the record I weigh 115 lbs. so don't take that comment full heatedly! :D

[The Mad Hatter]

Of the three, I'd take McDonald's... I swear, there's some kind of substance on the fries that make them ludicrously addictive!

But I like Taco Bell better, especially the Gordita Crunches they do. Adhere gordita bread around a taco shell with cheese... oh, bliss!

[Karkull]

Speaking of Taco Bell: is it just me, or are all the really good Taco Bell items only for a "limited time only?" They offer really good stuff, but only for weeks at a time (and never do them again).

Like the Cheesy Gordita Crunch. So good...

[TuffyCatt]

Oooh...I miss the cheesy Gordita Crunch...those were so good. However, my current favorite thing at Taco Bell is a permanent thing, I think, those Grilled-Stuft Steak Burritos...those are really good....mmmmm. :D

[Karkull]

Hell, I can run down a whole list of things:

1) Three-Alarm Tacos--they had this great hot sauce.
2) Extreme Nachos--they were offered several years ago. They had red chips.
3) The Texas Taco Sandwich--Jack Palance did the commercial.
4) The Three-Cheese Melt--Three kinds of cheese, some kind of sauce, and whole pinto beans. My favorite of the bunch.

I remember this stuff way too well, :o.

[Ruffian]

Either Wendy's or Burger King. They have a Wendy's at my university, so I sometimes pick up lunch there if I have to stay thru lunch. Both taste better than Mcdonald's overall. Where I think Mcdonald's has them beat are their fries and their mcnuggets. I love their sweet and sour sauce for 'em. :D

But my all time favorite fast food joint is In-N-Out. They've got the freshest tasting burgers and they don't feel heavy either. If anyone's ever in So Cal, I suggest you make a visit when you're hungry and order one, and order it animal style (added veggies, pickles, and thousand island sauce.) :D :D

[RockItShipper]

No Wendys in NYC... haven't gone to one in years and years, if at all....

McDonalds- Like their cheeseburgers, love their fries... Used to like their nuggets, but no more. Chocolate chip cookies and ice cream- haven't had those in a long time but I remember liking 'em.... No appealing toy line in some time, although the Japanese franchise has a Pokemon promo as we speak. :(

Burger King- Rarely disappointing when it comes to toys- although that may change if they don't have li'l stuffed Gollums in December. (I wannnnnnt one! ) I like their nuggets, tolerate their fries... have the yummy Hershey pie 2 times a year or so.

Others?

KFC- used to have the best nuggets, Australian branches still carry 'em... Nice mashed potatoes, ok mac/cheese, Popcorn Chicken, plus SW toys 3 years back!

Subway- Wonder if they thought the JLA toys some years back would lead to new customers? In my case, it did. :) And some of 'em carry bottled soda, which saves me a drink-smuggling trip beforehand. (I hate tap drinks)

[Calhoun07]

Limited time only foods at fast food places are always the best. I don't know why they can't put them on the menu permanantly. And you know the majority of them are just different combinations of their own foods they already have, so it's not like they can never make those sand whiches again.

Once I was at Arby's and I ordered one of the sandwhiches they only had for a limited time. The clerk told me they didn't serve it anymore, but the manager said they could make it, and he just charged me for it as a small sub. Just like Taco Bell...everything they make comes from a few core ingredients. You know if they really wanted to, they could make your special meals again.

I love that limited time stuff. McDonald's broke my heart when they stopped serving the bucket of fries. Not to mention Pizza Hut! I used to love the Ultimate Cheese pizza. And my love affair with Crystal Pepsi will not be forgotten.

[oranthal]

compared to the other 2, Wendy's really stands apart from them. they have stuff other than hamburgers such as salad, chili, baked potatoes, etc.

[batboy2001]

I take it you like the toys, eh, rocky? ;)

[Jack]

Wendy's because their food is just better tasting. That, and I keep finding objects in my Burger King food....

I'd choose McDonalds secong, though their food is rather bland.


Jack :D

[The Mad Hatter]

Yup, the Cheesy Gordita Crunch was a "limited time" offer, but they'll still make it for me and still have the price in the cash register.

[Joker85]

I HATE Burger King, and McDonalds is just OK, so my vote goes to Wendy's. I love there burgers especially!! :)

RIP Dave Thomas :(

Really?...hmmm. I'll have to ask my Taco Bell if they'd do that for me. I'd love to have another Cheesy Gordita Crunch... :p

[Lodoss War Fan]

I like McDonalds the best, second would be Burger king. I use to like White castles but not no more.

Neat! Where was this being offered?

I love how different regions have different food offers. When I was in London a few years ago McDonalds offered this sandwich called the Lamb McSpicy. It wasn't bad.

[DR. BELCH]

I do like their Big Macs and McRibs. But as I've said, Chinese and Mexican food is my real passion..and the best burgers I've ever had that I didn't pat together myself came off the grills at ASU. Those I miss. And of course there's the basic church potluck--we had one this Sunday, and I ate three big servings followed by a mountain of dessert. We Lutherans may be stodgy buggers, but we do put out a bloody fine spread....

I don't eat at McDonald's, but during a visit to Nova Scotia we saw one advertising the McLobster. Took a photo of the marquee to prove did not make it up. Has anyone eaten this invention, and if so was it on a dare or because you liked it?

[batboy2001]

In my neck of the woods we have the coveted McBraut.

[The Mad Hatter]

I remember when I went to England during the mad cow disease scare, and saw that McD's there had veggie burgers... they ought to give it a try here as a healthful alternative, it might work.

Oh wait, the McLean crashed and burned. Never mind.

Several years back, my family went to a McDonalds and my mom ordered it. It's often available around here during the summer as a special deal. It was a huge ripoff. The picture, or at least the one I remember seeing, didn't look too bad, but the real thing was different. It was about 90% bun and 10% lobster, and the meal with fries and drink cost about $6 I think. She probably should've asked for her money back.

I voted Burger King. Both Wendy's and Burger King have great sandwiches, but I prefer BK's sandwiches slightly, plus I love their fries.

Hey Hatter, BK is planning to make some changes to their menu including adding veggie burgers!

My beef about Wendys (joke get it?) is that they put too much stuff on there burgers.

burger king is my choice of the three...

I picked it because McDonald's service sucks big time around here...

Wendy's hamburgers are always soggy...

[The Mad Hatter]

You and I both, but we might not know for decades... that disease can incubate for a long time! :eek:

But nah, we're probably fine. Well, health-wise, anyway. I haven't been in my right mind for quite some time now... :wakko:
