Here, for a while at McDonald's there was a πŸ” called "the 1955" and it was the best, big pieces of onion, an special sauce, buns and big piece of beef with bacon (for Europe standards anyways) it disappeared once and came back for an encore only to be removed again and never return.

Those apple pie slices that came in the card carton thing? So crispy and beautiful.

A&W has really good seasonal burgers that they retire every season.

Mcdonald's chicken selects! And by extension the snack wraps. Also their very limited basket of fries. I feel like I might be the only person who even remembers it.

"Roastburgers" from Arby's

Gotta chime in with the bacon cheddar potato wedges and chili cheese curly fries at Jack in the Box. Jack in general has become shit tier now.

Also, McDonalds used to have a super excellent breakfast burrito with sausage, bacon, peppers, everything. Back when breakfast all day was a thing.

Don't know whether pizza from a place you can sit down in and eat counts, but there used to be a place called Rocky Rococo's. Best pizza in the whole city, until they disappeared off the map. Now I'd have to go to the other side of the country just for their pizza. For a place I wouldn't consider a restaurant, they had some of the absolute best pizza I've ever had.

Why did you remind me of our loss?

McDonald's Grilled Chicken Flatbread. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one that remembers them, but they were so delicious around 2003 or 2004, can't really remember anymore.

Burger King Whoppers in the 90s.

They use to taste really, really good. But now 30 years later they’re made with dogshit tier beef and terrible buns and the whole thing just sucks.

McDonalds pre 90s fries, McDonalds fried apple and cherry pies, McDonalds pre-90s shakes, Dairy Queen's Queen burger, Sonics pre 2000s burgers and the Sonic fish sandwich.

80's-90's McDonald's apple danish

I feel like I’m cursed or McD’s is taking a huge nose dive. I haven’t had a good, hot, not-soggy, salty McDonalds french fry in like 2-3 years. Every time I go, the fries are super gross. I’ve taken several road trips and the only consistency I’ve experienced is how terrible the fries have been.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

It's not just you. I almost always get fries that I think have been mostly cooked earlier then dunked in the fryer for a warm up before they serve them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Always ask for fresh fries if you're not in a hurry. If its a rush you don't need to worry about it, but that guarantees you'll get them crispy and as good as they'll ever be...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Good tip. You’d think that I would get lucky every once in a while.

Milk Shakes at just about any fast food restaurants. The machines always seem to be down! Pulled up to an Arby's a few months back to order a Jamoca shake and they said their machine was down. I asked them if I had pulled into the McDonald's drive through by mistake. We all had a big laugh... but that was months ago and they have now put a sticker on the menu that says their shakes are not currently available :(

Went to a Baskin Robins to order a Chocolate Milk shake and they were out of Chocolate ice cream... on multiple occasions. At least they don't have a machine to break down!

Sorry our scoop is down. Can I interest you in a birthday cake?

Two things from Wendy's:

First bring back the old chicken nugget meat. The spicy nuggets taste like trash now.

Second that Jalapeno Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Wendy's chicken sandwiches are very good. I had one with a pretzel bun and it was amazing.

The Mexican pizza that had olives on it.

"hi. I'd like one quarter-pounder (aka royale) with no cheese, but with Mac sauce on the heel. Thanks."

That's kinda it.
