Eating in fast food restaurants--do you?

Friday is matinee movie day and then after a late lunch or snack usually fast food and usually Subways or Arby's, mostly the former. Thursday is upscale full service restaurants while Friday is inexpensive fast or casual restaurants. Arby's is fast and the food is what you would expect plus every month they have coupons in the paper so this particular day it was off to Arby's after seeing a real bad movie. We took 2 coupons with one being 2 roast beef and cheese sandwiches for $5 and the other was 2 dining for $8.99 including 2 roast beef sandwiches, 2 fries, 2 soft drinks and an order of cheese sticks. Our order was taken, we got our drinks and just as we were sitting down the food came, served by the manager (?)/boss (?) sort of making Arby's fast-casual instead of fast food. Our food was warm and sort of bland--I prefer some of their other sandwiches--but no complaints about any of it or the service or the cleanliness of the place. For $7.50 each really we got our money's worth but I do prefer Subway if we are going fast food. Arby's was a lot better than the movie so take that for what it is worth! Do you eat in fast food restaurants? Any preferences?

I like fast food and Arbys is my favorite. I like the market fresh sandwiches and the roast beef sandwiches. I don't care about fries or a drink so only order water. But I love the turnovers. Especially when they warm them before serving. I also like Burker King, I prefer the grilled hamburger taste to any other fast food.

Yes, their fresh market sandwiches are good.

@GreatMartin almost always. Each one makes the filling at the restaurant and sometimes the filling is too dry and crumbles out of the sandwich. That burns me.

I try hard to avoid them and manage it quite well. Thankfully we only have a mcDonald's here and that is easy to avoid

@GreatMartin Seems Italians are not keen on them either as they are never very busy here in my town.

I don't have fast food as often as I used to. The other day, I had lunch at Culvers. They are one of the best. But my favorite is still Burger King.
