Another McD item I think is underrated is the Egg McMuffin - so good and nutritious.
Sausage egg mcmuffin is a goated donnies menu item. Wouldn't call it underrated though.
I'll counter with the double cheeseburger from BK. Two of those and I'm happy as can be. Or a sourdough Jack.
The double bacon cheeseburger from BK is fire.
:
Double hamburger with mac sauce, pretty much a big mac. I order it all the time.
Amen. I always order the McDouble with no cheese, am I overpaying? Going to have to go run some numbers...
Also, Hot 'n Spicy no mayo. Apparently, some markets can't handle the heat and only have McChickens. SMH.
hard disagree on this, those suck imo. The bread, though fresh, seems just ok at best, and the taste of everything isn't that flavorful. Jersey Mike's or Firehouse Subs is much better, but ultimately subs are one of those things that is by far best not served at a fast food place.
Agree on the McGriddle, that really is legendary.
Yeah Firehouse subs are flavorful.
I'll agree Firehouse Subs is in aggregate better but where Publix shines is the chicken tender sub. You can't get a chicken tender sub at many of the major sub chains.
UGH our college cafeteria would have mcmuffin and mcgriddle knockoffs -Easy to replicate- and i would eat 2 every time they had them. Missing the cafeteria meal plan
Publix soups are good:
- Vermont Cheddar and Broccoli
- New England Clam chowder
- Lobster Bisque
they're still $1 where I live. Not the biggest fan of Taco Bell, but I gotta admit, it is a solid value
Haggis. Eat brains and guts to have both.
I haven't tried it yet but it does sound interesting, is it good?
Haggis pasties are pretty darn good. Highly recommend next time you see them. If they don't taste good take a weekend trip to Scotland to get the real deal.
Harris Teeter / Publix / Whole Foods sushi is good and Whole Foods fresh pizza by the slice is bomb
Wfoods bfast burrito is one of the best I'v had. Its About 1.4k calories though. The costco combo pizza was GOAT. Fresh veggies, excellent price. RIP
Why is there no love for the TBell CrunchWrap Supreme?
Chicken quesadilla from taco bell
Bojangles Cajun Chicken Filet Biscuit
Can get ‘em to add Pimento cheese and an egg as well. This is too notch grease for the hangover cure
Take the cajun filet patty and put it inside a mcgriddle
.
Chipotle quesadillas before they made them an official menu item. Those were the days. Full tortilla, so much cheese and practically double meat bc they had to cover the whole half. I would do anything to prevent chipotle from making it an official menu item.
damnnn sounds good
Best tasting Macro friendly- CFA grilled chicken nuggets
Best fast food item in general- Taco Bell chicken quesadilla
Can’t tell me otherwise
Yes I can, best tasting fast food item. Taco Bell - Cheesy Gordita Crunch
The soft taco shell on the outside tastes like a shitty pita wrap
Oh, if we're going TB it's gotta be the volcano burrito when it was around. Or the enchilada grilled stuft burrito when it was around.
Hey TB, why you gotta keep killing off your baller menu items for weak sauce items instead like the doritos locos tacos which suck? Take a page out of Whataburger's book and make your interesting takes on things your regular menu so a regular taco is the odd one out.
Most underrated items, are Checkers French fries, Arby's curly fries, Roy Roger's roast beef sandwich, and Roy Roger's in general. Burger King's Rodeo Burger.
Keep in mind these are things that I believe are truly underrated. I’m not coming on here to recommend some mainstream shit
1) Chicken strips at chick fil a. Everyone assumes they taste like the nugs / sandwich but they have their own unique breading that’s good enough to eat without sauce. My go-to post workout meal is six of these with fries and shake.
2) Publix Hot food section. Im not in the south anymore but I remember them having fire chicken nugs, wings, mac&cheese, etc at a super reasonable price. Walmart hot food section can also be surprisingly good. Both of these depend on the quality of the actual store - I wouldn’t eat at a run down Walmart
3) Church’s Chicken. They’re only in the most ghetto spots possible, so people often skip them. But their sides and most notably their biscuits are better than any fried chicken place. Next time you’re caught in a bad part of town check it out
4) Fresh Market Margherita Pizza. I’ve probably eaten 100 of these in my lifetime. You have to get them special made because not all of the stores have them ready to go. But it’s just pizza dough, red sauce, and big slices of fresh mozzarella so they will whip it up for you if you call ahead. It’s fresh ingredients instead of a frozen pizza which makes it really good. You can still freeze them and cook it later though.
Your go to workout meal is 6 chicken strips, fries and shakes? I can never understand how people consume absolute garbage in the name of "bulking".
I’m 6’2 and a 180lbs even with eating all of those calories. Washing a big meal down with a milkshake, smoothie, ensure, etc is the only way I can be full for a normal amount of time. Protein powder / shakes don’t really do the trick because it’s too low calorie.
That’s just what it’s like having a naturally fast metabolism while also being active. If I were to have a grilled chicken Kale salad after a workout I’d be a skeleton
The fuck? I'm a vegetarian but even I find kale nasty.
Culver’s butterburger
You from Wisconsin?
I would say this is almost on par with the quality of an in-n-out burger. Probably the best burger you can find if you don't live near an in-n-out
Controversial but I would argue a butter burger is better than In-n-Out, especially if you consider fries and milkshakes
The easiest answer of all time - chicken quesadillas from cookout. Those who know what I am talking about, you know. A cookout tray paired with a strawberry cheesecake milkshake is the ultimate drunk college kid food for only $5
Honestly it might be that you can get so much food for the price
Dude the cookout tray sub milkshake for +$1 was my go to "I'm going to shit out this hangover" meal in college. Amazing and so cheap. The one by my school was a dump and got shot up a few times but still 10/10.
Love it - getting shot up gives it some character
Cookout might be one of the things I miss most from college
I'm going to come out and say it - most vegan burgers. The vast majority of both large chains and small burger joints now offer really good vegan burgers, unlike the early 2010s where they tasted like shoes. They hit the spot pretty much the same but you don't feel sluggish and shit afterwards like you do with a regular one.
Wendy's chicken sandwiches fly under the radar.
Agree. Like most franchises, Wendy's quality can be spotty. Fortunately the locations I've lived near have been pretty solid and few poor experiences.
McDonald's Filet-o-Fish. My go-to order - delicious and highly underrated in my opinion. Feel like few people order it but it's pretty good for fast food.
You're asian we get it
Catholic gang gang. Chick Fil A used to offer them during Lent but I think they stopped doing that now.
I think they are year round now. They definitely have them during Lent, though, because they always ramp up the advertising for it at that time.
Not sure I've ever seen it but love me some hate chicken. The breakfast chicken biscuit with honey and hot sauce washed down with a little Prosecco is amazing. (Popeye's chicken sandwich is better though.)
KFC Double Down
The Double Down is a sandwich offered by Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants. It has two pieces of fried chicken fillet, as opposed to bread, containing bacon, cheese, and a sauce.
haha I actually had this when I was burning 5,000 cal per day and needed tons of calories and protein.
There used to be this Jurassic Park Burger at MCD which had 3 Patties.
Taco Johns flaming hot Cheeto burrito.
Taco Bell breakfast Crunchwrap. Also the quesarito which was discontinued. It was basically the one menu from TB item I could eat while driving without making a mess.
Used to like McRib, but it doesn’t do it anymore.
I got this McDonald’s 10:35 burger at one point. It was an sausage egg McMuffin patty and egg on a bun with burger patty and cheese. Pretty gnarly after a hard night of drinking.
No doubt?
Haven’t been to TB in awhile, stopped going to the one near me when I was told that item was discontinued.
Wendy’s has some yuuuge 9 patty and 10 patty burgers off menu (T-Rex burger and Jurassic burger):
https://www.wideopeneats.com/wendys-secret-menu/amp/
Was the McRib ever good? I had it 10 years ago for the first time and it was disgusting
Availability of the McRib is closely correlated to pork belly prices. (that's for real) I hear you can get one off menu tho if you've got the GI Joe with the Kung Fu Grip (That's a lie)
Also Isaiah, you should retitle this to most prestigious fast food and then have a tier ranking system. (CFA - KFC - Popeyes - 7-11 - etc).
As this thread has shown time and time again though: Taco Bell uber alles. TB > McD > CFA/BK then the boutiques like Publix or Taco John's or Whataburger for us here in the south.
Anything from Arby’s is slept on. Very underrated place period
Arby’s boyz
Hell yes. Beef & chedder + a couple gyros? money.
Anything from Chick-fil-A but especially the spicy chicken sandwich.
2nd this take for sure, but also a huge fan of the CFA spicy chicken biscuit. Too bad they only serve it during breakfast.
The breakfast burrito, though a very much white person style, is still great imo for what it is
I feel like Greek fast food or takeout is underrated and really healthy. I’m surprised a Greek Chipotle hasn’t developed a national or regional chain. Lamb gyro is my favorite on a fresh pita with tzatziki, hummus, chickpeas, Greek olives, cucumbers, and banana peppers.
Have you ever had CAVA?
Love that shit. I get it like once a week right now. Greens & grains bowl with chicken & spicy lamb meatballs, pita on the side, pickled onions, cabbage/tomato/cucumber/kalamata olives/spicy hummus/pita crisps. They also offer pita rolls and stuff... pretty much exactly what you just described and a pretty big chain; at least in the DMV.
They also have an insanely good oatmeal dark choc chip cookie with flakey salt
Oh no I haven’t had it but it looks good. I see they have 133 locations but aren’t near me.
Cava is the shit. Had to say it with the +1sb.
popeyes 4 piece
Popeyes mashed potatoes and gravy is good too if I recall, but haven’t been there in years.
it is. only thing keeping me from going is that a lady in uptown found a rat head in her meal
Chicken chalupe Taco Bell
Taco Bell getting lots of love on here
CFA egg white sandwich
KFC popcorn chicken
Oreo McFlurry…with M&Ms. This is it boys
It’s pretty good but I think the CFA cookies and cream milkshake is better.
With M&Ms could be epic though wow.
wendys chili before they fucked it up with a new recipe
Wendy's Chili on the baked potato is fire.
I think you have to hand it to McDonald's. Their consistency is solid no matter where you go. Breakfast is bomb. Every item on the menu is carefully scrutinized for customer value and satisfaction.
MCD is my safeguard when traveling all over the world. It’s the known product quality and menu. I’m no stranger to local food, ate a delicious stew out of a Phuket garage one time, fresh cleaned fish on a Barcelona beach, etc, but I’m just cautious after coming Ill with food poisoning in China. I have no idea what I ate when I was out with the team, but it put most of us out for 3-4 days. Hotel staff called in a doctor for one of the employees.
Taco Bell getting the most votes so far though...
This really is the TB appreciation thread.
The Wendy's Sour Cream and Butter Baked potato is definitely underrated as solid quality in the fast food industry. They know their spuds well.
Mcdonalds Filet-O-Fish dont @ me
Burger King Milkshakes
Taco Bell $5 box. They always have one. I don't care what's in it.
.
McDonald’s discontinued popcorn chicken
Shamrock Shake!
Pretty much a big mac with a double hamburger and mac sauce. This is my favorite. As an added bonus, I enjoy this food after ending the late-night party with beautiful costumes and Astroworld merch.
sonic
Since I saw other people people mention grocery stores, I would recommend Giant boneless chicken wings, particularly their sweet chili, bourbon, and buffalo flavors. The only flavor I had was barbecue, but I thought they added way too much sauce to those. Where I go it is $5 for 10 oz
They mentioned prepared food.

I cant believe no one has mentioned Canes. Best major fast food chain
Yeah I’ve heard a lot of hype about it and it is in my city, but have never been. What do you get?
