What is the best chain fast food restaurant?

[CleverNickName]

There is some confusion on fast food and fast casual. I believe Chipotle is in the latter column.

Huh. It's strange; from what I can tell Chipotle is just a Subway with flatter bread.

Anybody had Portillos? They been popping up here in the TC. I think its Chicago style hot dogs and roast beef.

I had a few coworkers go on about it when they opened the location up in Maple Grove. I haven't tried it yet, but I just realized there's one in Roseville which is an excuse to stop by the Source so maybe I'll have to give it a try sometime soon.

It's a little bit sad to see that Chipotle didn't make the list.

I am sure that Whizbangs Dustyboots didn't want to contaminate the other joints on the list with Norovirus,


.....too soon?

Didnt know you were in the TC. Im about 2 miles from that Portillos and Source living over in Nordeast.

Right, but in either establishment you still walk in the door, walk up to a counter, point at the different ingredients you want to be enrobed in bread, pay, and then take a seat. I don't see how one is "fast food" and the other is "fast casual."

South metro, in the Burnsville/Savage area. I don't head up that way very often, so nice to have a few reasons to go there.

Nice, I been meaning to get down there to Burnsville Dreamers for Battletech. Big group of Alpha Strikers meet on Wed. Hard to get out of work and roll down there.

Also, Taco Johns never should have given up trademark on Taco Tuesday!!!

This is super-weird, since their big thing is that nothing is ever frozen and much of it is delivered fresh each day. It honestly sounds like you're describing Five Guys.

Well, one less person in the super-long drive-thru line, then.

Unfortunately, my experiences (with In-and-Out while in LA were awful.

Yeah, they had plenty of staff. However, that made it even more bothersome that it took so long for a simple order.

I would have been okay with slower service if the flood was good.

With the thin burger and bland taste, it was like there wasn't even a burger between the bread at all. I was confused about how such a greasy burger could have so little taste.

Later, I learned from my Cali friends that you need to order from the secret menu or whatever. I dunno. If you like it, you like it.

For me, if you're a burger place and I have to jump through hoops to maybe get an okay burger, I don't understand how that serves my needs as a customer.
