Chipolte (sp). I don't get the hype.

I don't get Moe's. The one in Oxford actually closed a few years ago. It was like nasty Taco Bell food! I guess I'm alone in liking Wendy's, I love their spicy chicken sandwhich. Their fries can be gross if not cooked properly.

I totally agree about Applebee's! I mean WTH! The one here in Oxford is never good and I always feel like the service is awful too.

(Note: Oxford is finally getting a free standing Chick-Fil-A. So it will be interesting to see how good it is. The one in the Student Union is okay but not the greatest.)

There are plenty of them in NC.

My choices:

Subway - Subway IMHO is played out; it fell into the age-old "corporate trap": when it was lesser known, the quality of its food was far superior, but when it became a big corporate "household name", its quality went into the toilet

Chipotle - I had it for lunch so many times, it's played out for me.

McDonalds - 'Nuff said
Taco Bell - 'Nuff said

CiCi's Pizza - I ain't into all you can eat buffets, the food looks like it's been on display all day, even when it's fresh out the oven. More often than not, buffet food tastes stale and/or burned.

I actually love Burger King; it's almost become one of my four food groups. You BK haters don't know what you're talking about.

White Castle I used to love as a kid; it was tasty and inexpensive; nowadays it gives me bubbleguts something awful.

I still eat at Bob Evans, even though I made the mistake of taking a date there, and she said that their food tasted like "old folk" food. Seeing that the vast majority of its customers were old folks, I admit that she had a point. A dang good one at that.

Hardee's: When I was a kid, I begged my parents to take me to Hardees and they would not do it. I ate at Hardees for the 1st time in 2002 near the U. of Cincinnati campus. It was the nastiest food I ever had. It tasted like 90% salt! Shoot, with all that salt, even a deer would pass on eating that.

Unfortunately.

They have both of those in VA. I agree about Bob Evans.

Totaly agree with Moe's and Applebee's. Ate at Moe's once and never again. Applebees are bars for old desperate people.

Good luck with the Chick-Fil-A, they are pretty hit and miss in my experience.

Smile_Awhile · #**126** 06-15-2009, 03:35 PM

I've never had a bad Chik-fil-a experience. LOVE them.

I do eat Subway, but only because it is the only fast sub shop I've found with a chicken breast sandwich.

Burger King- NO.

McDonald's- Every now and then. Mostly fries and McFlurries.

Try to eat at home!

Don't need the big bugers and fries, pizza, or other fat food. LOL!

See, that's what I was talking about earlier. 5+ years ago, Hardees was nasty. I ate there for the first time about a year-and-a-half ago because son had strep throat and wanted one of their milkshakes (which are actually made from ice cream on the spot) and I was hungry. I was amazed at how much better they were than they used to be. They really do stack up favorably against our local really-good burger joint.

And just for the record, I love Moe's.

I like Moe's as well - it's certainly no Anna's Taqueria (basically a Boston landmark), but the one in CT has fresh ingredients, good service, and good-tasting food. I'd put it on par with Qdoba, which I also enjoy.

Ah, the humor of gooey buns. It never gets old.

Try not to drink so much at home!

It's good to know that you're not eating bugers! Ewwww!

Does anyone remember the Black Eyed Pea or Po Folks? Haven't had really good red beans & rice since they disappeared.

BabyPiNK_FL · #**135** 06-16-2009, 12:10 AM

Honeychile, my daddy used to take us to Po' Folks in Davie, FL! GOOD chicken fried EVERYTHING! The last time I went, I was 9 or 10 years old. I think I ate at Black Eyed Pea once that I can remember, but when I was very small.

We have Bob Evans in FL. The only one I've ever seen is in Lakeland. But I think there are more. We do have a lot of old folks that like to eat those things. I've never eaten there, but who doesn't enjoy simple oatmeal or grits? Especially when your teeth are giving out?
I would NEVER take a date there though...
