I had Steak N Shake once when I was on a business trip up north and I didn't think it was all that great. I'd probably rather get McDonalds or BK.

Y'all are going to have to stop talking about Steak N Shake, or I'm going to have to get in a car and drive to a Shakey's Pizza - and that's quite a drive. I know it isn't the same place, but they sound similar enough that I can't think of one without the other.

In spite of what I said before, McDonald's would probably get more business from me if they would stabilize the McRib on their menu - or bring back the Cheddar Melt that they've had around here for about three separate weeks out of the last 16 years. Good thing I know how to make the latter one at home, or I'd go MAD. Well .... madder, anyway.

Can you bleieve McD's carried a Cuban sandwich here in Miami for about a month?

It failed. Miserably.

To put in my two cents worth: if you pay attention to what you pay for a meal at either one, you may notice that you could do just as well picking up something at least moderately better for you and usually tastier, if you take a moment to call your order in to an actual restaurant. Might even get in and out with your food faster. That's true around here, at least.

It's usually a matter of convenience.... I can get to a Mickey D's easier than most "actual" restaurants.

I almost never get from BK or MickyD's. If I'm really pressed for money that week - the only reason to get "fast food" IMO, especially since it is a shot in the dark whether or not the people at the drive through really will be any faster - then Arby's is usually running a 5 Roast Beefs for $5.95 special, or a Little Caesar's pizza is a whole meal for two, for $5.

The only time I usually eat out is on game nights or the rare time I do get to go to church and go out afterwards.

Now don't get all "Loyal Fury" on those of us who work fast food.... I'd hate to have to smack you down and make ya wish ya hadn't......

Naah..... betcha you'd like that.......

I believe Sonic is a national chain.

Yup. We've got one in town that's been there for abt 5 years.... Before then, the only one I remembered was the one we used to go to back in the mid-late 70s when we lived in Homestead, FL.

Mmmmmm. Steak 'n Shake.... makes me want to go to GenCon RIGHT NOW!

We've got one of those too. And there's definitely one in walking distance from gencon..... we walked there during Celebration II...

Fast food soft porno? You decide.

I like BOTH, thank you. Which might help to explain why I like the commercial so much.

I have been to a Shakey's Pizza... in Rapid City, South Dakota... it was freakin' delicious... didn't realize it was a chain... but, then again, maybe there are just lots of people named Shakey that like making pizza...

Open 24 hours, too! Perfect place for the late-night gamer when hunger strikes.
