anyways wendys!!!!

They got rid of them here too! I can't even remember what is on there now, just boring stuff. When I drive two hours away or so, I do come across BKs with Rodeo Cheeseburgers and such.

[vanlandw]

wendy's dollar menu cannot be beat...

[alteredbeast]

I would have thought McDonalds would have gotten more votes (it is 2nd on my list).

[johnnyoski]

It used to be Wendy's until Taco Bell rolled out their value menu.

[punqsux]

good cheap food = wendys.
better food but not as cheap with slower service = burgerking.
mcdonalds has some good 99 cent spicey chicken.
taco bell is disgustiing...mighty taco for life!

[dnt_h8me2]

Wendy's all the way.

[thatstoobad]

good cheap food = wendys.

taco bell is disgustiing...mighty taco for life!

i was in buffalo last year and had some mighty taco. it was mighty good.

anyways, as far as the list goes, i'd choose mcdonalds. a mcchicken and a double cheese for $2 is pretty good.

[FriskyTanuki]

McDonald's = cheapass food.

[Tromack]

Wendy's. Junior Bacon Cheeseburger and Frosty? Hell fuckin yeah

[coolsteel]

Wendy's gets my vote, quality of the food just seems a cut above the rest for the money.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Taco Bell for life.

[MorbidAngel4Life]

Damn straight sblymnl. Taco Bell gets my vote.

[Rig]

I'm for McDonald's. I can eat so many McChickens and Double Cheeseburgers, as well as McValue fries, and a small drink!

[godhatesjustyou]

Wendy's. Junior Bacon Cheeseburger and Frosty? Hell shaq-fuin yeah

bingo! right on the dot!

[evilpenguin9000]

For me it's a toss up between wendy's and McDonalds, with McDonalds maybe winning out because I tend to eat there less.

[pimp tyranny]

wendy's by far

[levi333]

BK, TB, wendys, mcdonalds is a big last place. they make me puke 9 times out of 10 that i go there.

[BlueWingX]

Burger King, because even though my local BK's don't have the Rodeo Cheeseburger anymore, all it takes is a 99 cent Bacon Cheeseburger ordered plain, a 99 cent order of onion rings, and 1 free thing of BBQ sauce, and I can make my own... Dammit, now I'm hungry!

Not to get off topic, but you know what burger I miss the most? Wendy's Smokey Bacon Cheeseburger. Oh my god, that must have been the best burger I ever had at a fast food place!

[ZeroSupporT]

If I am going cheap then is got to be Wendy's just way to impressive dollar menu.'
I can't eat McDonalds everything there disgusts me including most people going in it or driving through it.
Taco Bell for tastes and when money is no option (just about never)
Burger King if I haven't eaten all day.

[Ikohn4ever]

Wendy's fries are ass

[ryosnk]

Wendy's (Hmm, Double stack and chicken nuggets)

[yeahokthenfu]

Taco Bell has the best choices, think outside the bun
OP you forgot Carls Jr., Checkers, Hardees, Arbys, KFC, I would say Popeyes but they have no menu, Long John Silvers, Weinerschnitzels (prolly spelled that wrong), and so on and so forth

[yeahokthenfu]

Wendy's fries are ass
Agreed

[danh920]

the best $1 menu is wendys by far, I do enjoy the 1/2 lb burritos from the bell for 1.29 from time to time but you can't fuck with wendys chili

[coolpapa]

Taco Bell - favorite food, good prices
Wendy's - best prices, good food
BK - a little worse than Wendy's
McDonalds - bleh

[Doylerulez]

good cheap food = wendys.
better food but not as cheap with slower service = burgerking.
mcdonalds has some good 99 cent spicey chicken.
taco bell is disgustiing...mighty taco for life!
About right. Wendy's for cheap stuff, BK is decent for a little more.
I haven't been to McD's in about 5 years.
I won't discuss Taco Bell, Mighty Taco rules my world.

I kept the receipt from my first El Nino burrito, so I can show my grandkids someday.

[Nirvanaguy777]

gotta go with mcdonalds on this one, dpible cheese burger 1 buck, mcdonalds 1 bucks, chicken fajita 1 buck and my fave 2 pies 1 buck

[Nirvanaguy777]

buger king is the best from 4pm to 8pm on tuesdays, dollar whopper night, i got 2 whoppers yesterday for dinner

[craven_fiend]

Burger King is my favorite fast food place, mainly because of their dollar menu. But they pissed me off when they got rid of their cheese sticks, but I'll still eat there.

[Romeo]

Man I loved those. We're talking ages ago that BK sold those!

[KrazyKefka]

I'll vote for Wendy's. BK is a close second though. Wendy's sounds really good right now...too bad it's still closed. I hope it re-opens soon.

[bob_the_goon]

I gotta say Wendy's even though the fries suck. You can douse them with chili or ignore them all together. BK is a close second.

[Trakan]

For me it's a tie between Wendy's and Taco Bell.

[jdpimp]

no one ever been to Jack-in-the-Box?

now thats the best cheapass menu... 2 tacos $.99
chicken sandwich, jumbo jack all just 0.99 you guys are missing out if you've never been

[moiety]

Another vote for Wendy's. Dollar menu: Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger and Fries. Simple. Delicious.

[x0thedeadzone0x]

Wendy's doesn't necessarily have the best quality food IMO, but the value of it is much better. You get larger quantities for the most part on the $ menu, and their food's still damn good. Burger King's second for me.

[ryanbph]

without a doubt i think it is wendys...someone mentioned it earlier, but a jr bacon chz burger and a junior frosty is all it takes

[Arakias]

Chiptole (owned by McDs) is the best. Where else can you get a massive burrito for under $6?

[PrinceNeil]

Wendy's fries are ass
Agreed

Triple that! You can't eat them w/o some sort of sauce, not like McD's or BK's. Even McD's fries cold taste better than Wendy's anyday.

[Moxio]

Uh, dude? No question. TACO BELL.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Uh, dude? No question. TACO BELL.

I had taco bell for lunch today myself. I usually eat there at least 2-3 times a week.

[Cereal]

gotta go with wendys on this one... a usual cereal weekday lunch will consist of 2 jrbacon cheeseburgers, fries, & a frosty.

and a cheese cup if im feelin salty...


for five bucks!!!!!

[PhrostByte]

I eat at Taco Bell now cuz of Baja Blast, used to eat mostly at Wendy's.

Mighty Taco and Ted's, duh. El Nino representin'. If I'm in California though, Carl's Jr is great too

[zewone]

Taco Bell because I really don't like hamburgers unless they are from In-N-Out. Double Doubles are crazy good.

[Moxio]

Hmm I don't know if anyone's heard of Del Taco, but they are my 2nd fav. fast food restaurant. Green sauce burritos... mmm. *thumbs up*

[zewone]

Del Taco is good too. Better burritos than Taco Bell.

[el bobo]

Taco bell, I normally get 3 Tacos, large dew, and cinnamon twists for about $3-4

[alteredbeast]

Wendy's fries are ass
Agreed

Triple that! You can't eat them w/o some sort of sauce, not like McD's or BK's. Even McD's fries cold taste better than Wendy's anyday.

I reall like Wendy's sweet and sour sauce, so I just cover the fries in it.

[alteredbeast]

Man I loved those. We're talking ages ago that BK sold those!

I was at my local burger king today, and all there was on the 99 cent menu was a cheesburger, salad, fries, and a few other things, some more than 99 cents. Nothing interesting at all. All the good stuff is gone, the chicken strips sandwich, the rodeo cheeseburger, the mozzerlla sticks, I think they used to have a bacon cheeseburger, but they got rid of them by me. The Hersey pie is GREAT. But they will probably get rid of that too since I enjoy it. Soon they won't have anything but dirt and fries.

[johnnyoski]

McChicken = McGrizzle
I don't actually want to see pieces of intestine in my chicken patty!

[illennium]

I've never eaten a hamburger.

[daria19]

I voted for Wendy's since they have a good selection of stuff (including some healthier items such as the salads, baked potato, and low-fat chili).

[alteredbeast]

I've never eaten a hamburger.

Not intended to offend...but are you not American?

[redgopher]

High Quality: BK/Wendy's
Low Quality, or "it's the closest": McD, Shit Bell

[cag1000]

someone needs to post the cheap dolla menus for each and keep them updated maybe sticky it. we should also trade fire sauces since they have messages on them now. kid meal toys should be updated also. i would share my free food scams but cant on here.

[Mr. Anderson]

Wendy's = Off da chain.

[CaptainObviousXl]

wendy's dollar menu cannot be beat...
tru dat

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

taco bell has the all around cheapest food.

you guys ever eat at louies? its a diner but they serve your food REALLY fast (faster than bk :wink) and its really cheap. i love it so much, whenever im in buffalo i always stop by there for some louie's dogs (take out special, buy 5 get 1 free!!)

[hiccupleftovers]

For me it's a toss up between Taco Bell and Wendy's Taco Bell is what I truly choose because it's my favorite food but I think Wendy's has a little better doolar/value menu. You can't go wrong with either a meximelt, etc. or the Chicken Nuggets from Wendy's. Del Taco is also awesome.

[BITADE]

Wendy's = best food
Taco Bell = food that cheeps giving

[Kaijufan]

Wendy's has the best menu, and they are pretty cheap.

[sying]

And best toys. picked me up one of each mario toy, along with my frosty

I just don't eat beef.

I added the menu, I will also post any info about toys that I find, or other people find.

Louie's Texas Hots? Naw, it looks tempting though. I used to work with a guy who was infamous for getting 6 "slime dogs" and eating them all in one sitting. Real skinny guy too.
I need to go to Jim's steakout and get a Jefferson Ave now... so hungry :D

[cyberlian]

taco-bell without a doubt for me... out the door with 2 chalupas and a drink for $3 (i have a discount card for a free drink with any purchase)

[PapiChullo]

Taco Bell because they have stuff that's cheaper than their value menu.

But Wendy's is tops among the other one's by far.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

How did you get that card? I usually drink water because A) I can pretend it's a healthy meal and B) I'm a cheapass.

[cag1000]

Cheesey Fiesta Potatoes ??

anyone have these from taco bell what are they?
im starving

[alteredbeast]

I had my favorite fast food tonight, but it doesn't have a good value menu. Popeyes. Also a favorite is Arby's, but there are none anywhere near this area.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Arby's is great, but there's not one close enough to my house to just go to if I'm really hungry. I have to plan it out a good 15 minutes in advance.

[alteredbeast]

There is a Quiznos by me. That is really good, but WAY to expensive. It is like $6 -$7 for a sandwich!

[YoshiFan1]

Wendy's, it is the most extensive and best value IMO. Like they give you a medium fries or soda for $1 when McDonald's only gives small fires or soda for $1. Plus, they have 2 salad choices, and the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger is great.

I don't know if it applies to all areas or not but near me, only the sides are $0.99 on the Taco Bell Value Menu, stuff like the 1/2 Beef and Potato Burrito or the Grande Soft Taco are $1.29 :(

[Zenithian Legend]

I usually go to Wendy's or Arby's sometimes McDonald's though, but that's more of a drunk Tuesday ritual.

[dnt_h8me2]

I had some Wendy's the other day.
Used a BOGO Combo coupon, too. (...How cheap can you get?? )

[killswitch64]

Gotta go with Wendy's here

[SadieDee]

I've never eaten a hamburger.

Not intended to offend...but are you not American?

I just don't eat beef.

How about a bocaburger?

Damn you all! Now I'm hungry for some Wendy's. I like them better because they have the salads/potatoes. Arbys probably has the best salads though. This is a mainly Ohio thing, but Mr. Hero has a value menu too. Food is a 1.30 instead of a dollar though, but they have good tuna rounds and those waffle fries with cheese.....yummm....
