Fast-food chains battle for low-income diners with summer value meals ***Better headline: Fast food restaurants scratch head when customers don’t want to pay higher prices for shitty food.
im a fast food junkie. i love the shit. covid completely changed the landscape and subsequently my habits. my blacklist is getting longer and longer. quality across the board has plummeted while prices increased.
i totally did not want to hate waffle house. i eat garbage all the time. i fight the dog for food. i did not see it coming..
after a few decades of wanting to try it i finally go to waffle house. first of all, no pancakes?! they are fucking strict on that waffle thing. and then what i did order was just barely edible food. just awful.
i grew up haunting dennys, which is now quite expensive for no reason.
It really depends on the establishment. I went to one in the Atlanta area that was just disgusting, but then you hit one in a small town in the Florida panhandle and suddenly you get the best harsh browns you have had in your entire life with some eggs and bacon cooked to perfection. Thankfully the Atlanta suburb experience was my only bad experience. Most of the time it was very good with the occasional amazing.
IMHO, small town Waffle House tend to be a safe bet.
Waffle House, Denny's, IHOP, aren't even fast food... They're just bad food. I still don't understand why people eat at these places. It's not like it's ever the only option, or the cheapest option.
