i dunno. i think it's probably a case of over-hype, similar to that of culvers. prior to their opening in council bluffs, i had eaten at the one on 120th. Since it had been a while, and everyone was going crazy over culver's opening up, i gave it a shot. "Try the butter burger man, it's awesome!" Had it. Not as good as mcdonald's angus mushroom and swiss, but sure enough it cost about the same...if not a smidge more. The chicken was ok, ice cream ok, but if i want fast food chicken or ice cream, i'll stick to KCF or DQ. If i want a burger, i'll keep getting the angus mushroom and swiss. No matter what anyone says, that is a good effin sandwich.  _________________  |

I've never eaten at one, so I may just be unaware of the obvious. But it sure seems like there's a lot of hype about them.
Are they really that good? |
For fast food, it's not bad. A definite cut above your typical McDonalds or Taco Alpo.
However, a chicken cutlet sandwich at a greaso-spoono diner or local bar and grill will usually run circles around it. |

LOL, I honestly can't claim that as original. I kinda wish I could.

Agree.
Fast food is "there and now" if there's a need, but I really can't get excited over it, nor can I get excited about yet another highly formulaic chain eatery invading the area.
However, I admit to being somewhat of a hypocrite about this. I'll often do something like Wendy's or Popeye's if I'm in a hurry, and if those I'm with want to do Applebees, I'll seldom press for another choice. I do admit that many of the chain places (Old Chicago, Ruby Tuesdays, Famous Daves come to mind) can be enjoyable, but there is something about the indie places which just cannot be duplicated by the chains. |

Yep. I hit the fast-food joints out of necessity, when time is short and I just need to grab a quick bite. I normally just order a couple things off the Dollar Menu, and a glass of water. Probably a little less toxic that way, and definitely cheaper.
Also, we don't eat out too often, especially at the more expensive place. They're just too expensive, plus the food is never quite as good as what my wife cooks at home. She's amazing.
