Restaurant chains you wish you had near you

[Stifko]

I'd like a Shake Shack around me.

All the Krispy Kremes I've been to made the donuts there. You could stand in line and watch the machine.

Not anymore at the 2 remaining actual KK stores. I ***used*** to be able to stand in line and watch the machine. Now you watch them pull the donuts from a rack and put them in a box for you. Its sad. Although we seem to have a glut of restaurants and a lack of industry, somehow we have nothing good to eat. Yay sofla!!!

I forgot all about Carls Jr. which I would love to have. We do have a Sonic within distance, and I LOVVE Sonic.

Roscoes is seriously overrated. The food wasn't bad but I don't understand the hype. It's literally what it is, chicken and waffles.

They have a big ass menu, the Chicken's good, nothing special though. But I'd get into a time machine go to 87 and fight Mike Tyson in his prime for one of their waffles if that was the only way to get one.

Seriously the best Waffles I've ever eaten.

Quiznos. Krispy Kreme.

They closed down all ones near me. Not that I really went to them very often though.

#2: Churches Chicken. Better than KFC and Popeyes by a long shot.

That's not saying much. Churches is cheap, but nasty.

I am not a hamburger fan but I want to try White Castle (from the movie) and see what the big deal was.

I have all 3 of them here in my area and Popeyes, then KFC, then Churches IMO.

Hmm, just had an idea. Food swap!

I'll trade Krispy Kreme and some Chic Filet for some panda express. We can ship them over night.

Honestly, I don't think it was a bad idea. Is it possible to ship food <not professionally> and it still eatable later? I could send some Churches fried chicken for some White Castle stuffs.

This. And they all better than Brown's too.

You can buy premade frozen White Castle sliders at Walmart I think...

I think you are right. Did you try both (at WC and at WM)? Same, different?

One thing that I like about my apt. I have McDonald, Burger King, WhataBurger, TacoBell, Arbys, Churches chicken, PizzaHut, Popeyes, Dominos, Casear Pizza, KFC and so on...all together in 1 to 2 mile radius.

Roscoes House of Chicken & Waffles, WOW Wingery, Round Table Pizza, Famous Daves BBQ, Rally's, Fuddruckers The Counter & Cluck-U. I dunno if Cluck U's a chain, but I had a friend in DC who said it was awesome and she said they deep fried their biscuits. That place has to be exceptional.

One up for Roscoes. There's one not to far, but I wish it was closer.

My best friend is from the midwest and all he talked about when we were roommates right after college was Buffalo Wild Wings, so I'd have to say that.

#1: Rocky Rococos.

About once a year I get a hankering for Rocky's but alas. They tried expanding back in the eighties and had to contract as they overextended. We have independent place a couple towns over that is on par with Rocky's so I can go there.

I'd like to see White Castle and Chick fil-a only because well I want to see what is so good about them.

The closest Chick fil-a for me is in fairfield. There's more though in Socal but I'm not driving some 300 miles.

 

[Mo0o]

Waffle House
Chick-fil-A
In N Out
Shake Shack

They're not too far off actually. I've made the exodus to a Walgreens more than once when I was hurting for a fix. They are a greasy grimy guilty gluttunous pleasure. So don't be expecting food of the gods here.

Oh hell no. With a White Castle, and Walmart farther down the street, I'll take it fresh made without second thought. I haven't had WC in about 2 years...

Oh. And here's list where they at: http://www.whitecastle.com/locations/frozen

 

[Loop2kil]

Carrabba's...I have to drive about 45 minutes as it is to get my Pollo Rosa Maria fix. It's one of the few chains I want or care about...I prefer quality mom 'n pop places any day.

[Minjin]

Maggiano's - I ate there for the first time in Vegas and I was impressed with the size of the portions you get for the meal while tasting pretty good.

 

[santz]

OMG YES CHIPOTLE, and ofcourse Qdoba, either one of them is fine!

Although OMG YES CHIPOTLE,............

PS- I live in dubai and there is no restaurant I miss more than Chipotle here.
Now I am sad again
