I actually like their coffee. I like the bitter flavor. What I don’t like is the whole experience with the folks that work and frequent them, so I switched to Dunkin.

the blonde roast isn't bad... my daughter used to manage a Starbucks here in Denver and she'd bring over bags of coffee occasionally
overall - Dunkin is smoother but not as varied.

We don’t eat fast food very often, but What-a-burger (usually on N. Monroe in Tallahassee) is our place to hit the drive through. They don’t put ketchup on their burgers, a plus for me, and you can taste the onion. Otherwise, Firehouse is a place I’ll stop from time to time.

Y'all only chose Lums because they served beer. ......It's funny because the Lums in Bradenton was the local teen hangout in the late 60s for one reason. They were very relaxed on under aged drinking. They would accept any fake ID. I simply changed the birthdate on my hunting license and drank on it for 2 years before I turned 21. Nobody else in town would accept it but Lums had no problem with it.

1) Chick-fil-a
2) Zaxbys
3) PDQ (PDQ is better than Zaxbys, just way scarcer)
4) Freddies

That's just about it for me. McD's breakfast is fine in a pinch.

As cross said Five Guys. There's something special about warm hamburger and french fry grease running down your arms while you eat. They even have free hors d'ouvres while you wait, but you have to remove the shells yourself!

They are okay for QSR...but we have a local place Times Grill...puts it to shame.

Their Cajun fries are awesome.

1) CFA - We also pick up their tea in gallon jugs on a weekly basis
2) Arby's - Mrs Dougie has a non-hang over trick that involves a big beef n cheddar
3) Sandwiches - Firehouse, Subway, or Jimmy Johns depending on mood
4) Taco Bell - when you need a good schit

Places I miss from my youth:
Ralph's - a gainesville/williston classic
In and Out - right across from Ralph's

How could I forget. Beefy King in Orlando is everything Arby's wishes it was.

Edit: doesn't count as a chain as they only have one location.

Where in Orlando, the Mrses and I will have to try it out next time we are in Orlando

Also, beefy king isn't open on Sunday and they aren't open for dinner.
