I try not to eat fast food all that often. Tonight I went through the Wendy’s drive thru. Their fries are awful. Their nuggets aren’t half bad though. McDonald is still king for fries and nuggets..

You better be careful what you say, their social media game is fierce, if want a good laugh checkout some of their responses on Twitter.

As far as fast food joints go, I agree that McD's is at the top.  BK's fries are pretty solid, too.

 

With regard to 5 Guys - I TOTALLY agree that they do not fall into the "fast food," bucket.  Their fries are great and I think they make the best burger out there, as far as chain restaurants are concerned.

When we do actually cave and get fast food, we go to Wendy's for the burgers/sandwiches, and then go across the street to McDonalds for the fries. Only way to do it properly.

 

(Not counting 5 Guys, CFA, or Popeye's since they are a little further drive up the street, and have no issues with any of their food)

Its true, they're absolute garbage, which is a shame because their spicy chicken sandwich is legit.  I mean how hard is it to turn the fryer up a little and make your fries crispy?  Anyway, they're building a Wendys right up the road, so i'll have a lot to complain about coming soon

In N'Out might have the worst fries I have ever had.  They were basically raw on the inside.  Apparently if you want cooked potatoes you have to order them in a secret code: "french fries really well done, double double, animal style, 2 cool for you dudebros"

Agreed.  I shouldn’t have to tell a restaurant to fry their fries longer to make them right.

BK has decent fries but their nuggets are barely edible. Even frozen Banquet nuggets are better than theirs

McDonald's fties are newspaper compared to Five Guys fries.

 

Years ago my wife was with someone she was just getting acquainted with when the lady said “I’ve never done five guys.” 

 

My wife had never heard of the burger joint and didn’t know how to respond. 🤷‍♂️

Wendy's is my fav fast-food joint.  When their fries are piping hot fresh they are superb.  That being said they are only perfectly fresh like 5% of the time, if that.  BK's are atrocious so is the rest of their food now.  I worked at a BK in high school and the fries were better then, though paled in comparison to McD's.  Problem with McD's is they only salt them sufficiently half the time.  Fries with no or too little salt are not worth eating at all.  You would think it would be fairly simple to get your staff to properly salt f-ing fries but I guess not.  I agree with the other guy about the JCB at Wendy's.  Lately I get a few of those so I don't have to waste my time with inferior fries.

 

Wow, my knowledge of fast food is concerning.  But I live in East TN which is not exactly a mecca of healthy eating options.

Thats always my go to. But the 5 dollar biggie bag comes with fries


that biggie bag is a great deal, especially since you can sub a frosty for the drink at no extra cost. 
 

I used to work at Wendy’s as a high schooler, and it was common for people to ask for their fries well done. We would just drop some cooked ones in the fryer to crisp them up some— you should try that.

 If you don't eat In n Out's fries in the first minute, just toss 'em out. They're trash. 

 

I don't know why Wendy's, BK, Carls's Jr / Hardies, Jack in the Box, etc...keep changing their fries. For the most part, they've gone from pretty good to garbage. Meanwhile, McDonalds doesn't change a dang thing and remains the top dog. I realize they're all chasing McD's, but in the meantime they're falling farther behind.

Maybe In-N-Out are the directions for cooking french fries there, as opposed to the chain name?

How I feel about Wendy's fries is how I feel about CFA's waffle fries, when done right they are amazing, its just sad that they are much more likely than not to be done wrong

Arby's.  Game, set, match.  Five Guys if you want to take out a second mortgage.

 Love Arby's curly fries, but this is apples to oranges

I don't know man....Wendy's fries are pretty good to me. Better than BK and Hardees. McDonalds fries always have been good. You just get that taste for a quarter pounder and fry.

 

Best fries of all imo are when taking the time to slice fries out of some potatoes and dropping in the oil at home. 100%

why don't you fatties try a salad?  

Because if we do, you get a Chevy instead of a Mercedes?  I am speculating poor eating habits filter down to poor dental health.  🤔

The Niagara Falls Ontario Popeyes gets a dishonourable mention for the worst fries for the time the jabroni put cinnamon sugar on their fries instead of salt.  One french fry and the seagulls were then having a feast. 🤨

I do eat salads all the time. But when on days when I get out of work at 11pm and tired and hungry, fast food it is usually. Sometimes I’ll get a Country Fair sub and that’s also usually disappointing

When I come home cold and tired, it's good to warm my bones beside the fire.

i love the taste of fast food, but for some reason it never seems to fill me up.  if i do eat enough to make me feel full, i end up feeling gross.
