Chic Fil A (the Lord's chicken as it's known in Texas).

Also like Jason's Deli, McAlister's, and Schlotzsky's for sandwhiches or Smash Burger for burgers.

I love any fast food- McDonalds, Hardee’s, In-and-Out, Chick fil a, etc. I’m particularly partial to the Monster Thickburger, the double double animal style, and the double quarter pounder.

There are a half dozen good Thai lunch spots near my office. None are chains, and my favorite gives you a bowl of soup and a big plate of basil fried rice with chicken for an even $10.

I only eat fast food once every month or two but it's usually a McDonalds Quarter Pounder. I prefer Carl's Jr. but they aren't in my area.

Passaic? Live somewhat close. May have to check it out.

Barberitos. I’d have to buy one if there wasn’t one near me.

On my 800 mile commute to a job project I would drive 30 miles out of the way to eat at a Chipotle.
Ever since they went public, it has all been down hill.
It's the only restaurant where I'm still hungry after I leave.

I almost feel ashamed to say it but there’s a massive amount of truth to this.

The southern hibachi (Waffle House) at 3am although it is an adventure and you may not make it out with all your teeth is in someway completely worth it after drinks. The greasy sloppy food somehow transforms into some magical stuff.

51st deli; Sam’s Gyro Kebab, after drinking Waffle House like above or Daddy’s Dogs or if in MX pretty much endless list.

Odd. The Chipotles by me have gotten absolutely fantastic over the past year or so. My friends and I had been hyper critical several years ago and we all say they’re back to doing some quality product.

Walk-in only, no reservations.
Just left Thailand and we ate like kings at 5 dollars for both of us. Sadly we never made Bangkok for logistical reasons but the stall was on my must do list

High quality food and cooked in front of you.

Back home in Tenerife we have lots of local cheap eats (although nowhere near as cheap as they used to be) but it's all pile it high overcooked meat n chips level. The Canarian palette isn't very sophisticated..

I'm not a foodie, and don't eat fast food, so I don't have any guilty pleasure restaurants or any favorites.

Probably the only restaurant that I was ever really impressed with is Auberge du Soleil in the Napa Valley area. But it wasn't cheap.

I probably prefer to eat at home, except it's fun in restaurants when with friends. The friend thing is more important to me than the food.

That place is beautiful and delicious. As far as Michelin starred restaurants go, and the area it was in, I was surprised it didn't cost more.

Yeah, luckily my wife had a sweet expense account and we used to take doctors out for dinner maybe once a year. Groups of 4-6.

No Fajitas, lettuce, fountain drinks or public restrooms today.

My meal was $14. I got a Mexican coke when I normally get water. Didnt realize they were handing out bottled water free...

For $3 more could've gone to the local Mexican restaurant, gotten more food and that would've included a $5 tip. Really tough supporting this place these days

I am sorry you guys are having such poor experiences at Chipotle. I've never had much of an issue there, except once when I requested my rice on the side as I always do (if you don't, the portion of rice they give you is crazy big) and they put the rice in a separate burrito bowl container, which was completely stuffed full of rice.

The Texas Roadhouse at Yas Mall (Abu Dhabi) was pretty amazing for a chain restaurant. We did Ferrari World and had lunch there.
