poppydawn Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 All of the St. Louis area Wendy's restaurants closed last year. Something about them not being up to the corporate standard. A few months ago someone finally bought a few of the franchises and the first one recently opened. It's on my side of the river. For a good three weeks, no matter what time of day, the drive-thr was backed up to the street and the lot full. I generally avoid fast food, but I succumbed to a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich and fries after a night at the bar two weeks ago. Damn, but it was some good stuff, although I have no real desire for another one. I guess I wanted it simply because I couldn't have it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yermom Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I may have to drive to another town's Wendy's to see what all the fuss is about since my own Wendy's is apparently some defective black sheep of the chain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was even AT Wendy's...letting the girls get some Frosty's but I left with nothing for myself. I'm TRYING to be good, Lord it was difficult but I was VERY proud of myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilco Worshipper Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Alright, so I broke down one day later, because we were out doing errands and stuff. And the whole time I was there, I thought of you guys and our great "debate"...haha So we went to the one I voted I for, Wendy's. And it being the day before Thanksgiving..half day and such it was interesting to watch. First of all, we were there right around 12:30p and it was PACKED (after we sat down....thank goodness)!!! It was like a holiday special, seeing kids w/ parents, co-workers of different ages together, the UPS guys and the FedEx guys making nice...it was cute!!! But yea, the food was good. My fries weren't too hot so I asked for new ones and they gladly obliged. Oh and for those in the area, they're adding 5 new items to the Value Menu including the famous Double Stack and Triple Stack I've heard so much about from my friends in the Midwest. So that's my Fast Food Report of the day...lol HAPPY (almost) THANKSGIVING everyone!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 they're adding 5 new items to the Value Menu including the famous Double Stack and Triple StackHow long will humanity need to be left hanging until we get a Quadruple stack to go with our 60 oz. soda? Personally, I'm holding out for the Sextuple stack, but in a pinch would consider testing the Pentuple Stack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwrkb Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 i wish i had an excuse to go eat jack in the box... but really i have no reason to leave the house today, and actually have stuff i should be doing here haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

squarewave Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Rally's and Hardee's have gone the way of the dodo here in N. IL.... We just got our first Del Tacos scattered about... WTF is the fuss about there, they are about as nasty as can be.I love the Taco Johns 10x better (potato oles and taco bravos RULE), hell even the T. Bell gut rot is a half step above Del Taco. Wendy's is a safe bet, and that was my pick off the choices on the poll... although I am pissed that the chipotle dipping sauce was phased out a year ago or so. It was hands down the best way to enjoy those golden 5 pc nuggets from the 99 cent menu. Jimmy John's is quite good.... right up there next to Panera in my book...I prefer them to Quizno's by a landslide, and I DETEST Subway....JJs has the Gargantuan, and half of one of those goes a long way.... The other half goes in the fridge, and makes me happy again in a few hours. Steak and Shake and Arby's don't do a whole lot for me... McDs and BK are really only for emergency when I am lost and need to grab SOMETHING and get back on the expressway, and if I am online at a White Castle window, then you know that the apocalypse is near.... Thank goodness for Portillo's in Chicagoland, and for Beef-A-Roo up in Rockford.I like that they offer a seasonal menu items that are actually GOOD, and that company wide these two seem to have pride in having a clean resteraunt and fast service. Side bar for the downstaters....Why are subs called "gondolas" down there?? I spent some time in Bloomington and Champaign in the past weeks and saw this at a couple places. Peace.

LouieB Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 not that anyone gives a "shit", but I voted for Wendy's becasue I have always liked their chicken sandwiches. Subway is always better food (in some respects) but so totally uninteresting as food that I hate to eat there. It is the one fast food joint you can go with vegeterian friends if necessary.

I just do NOT get it!!! I always think of vegeterians as "healthy" eaters, so why go to McDonald's?!? But you should see what he packs away at our restaurant and when we all do the late-night Denny's thing...SOOOOOOOOO gross!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco Worshipper Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Last post here for today (from me) I PROMISE...lol Annnnnnnnnnd, my local Wendy's is opening at 3am Friday morning to offer hot drinks and stuff to those getting out early on Black Friday...whoa!!!

bjorn_skurj Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 My favorite is Dairy Queen, followed by Wendy's. When times are hard, Wendy's chili is a staple food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Anyone here ever had Subby's? It is Dayton based, so I don't think there are many locations outside of the area. One of their subs and their chili (must add cheese and mushrooms) makes a monstrous meal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But you should see what he packs away at our restaurant and when we all do the late-night Denny's thing...SOOOOOOOOO gross!!! I used to think that too...until I started hanging around with some veggies who would chastise me as I ate a hamburger while they sat there and polished off a big bag of chips..then a chocolate bar...then some kind of dip... However, my all time favorite fast food is a local place called *drumroll*... A&K Lick-A-Chick Restuarant. Lick-A-Chick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
