chicken chicken what you picken
Anything but KFC...well, it's okay I guess, but ain't finger licking good.

If I'm gonna eat fried, it's gonna be...

Church's
Popeye's
Bojangles

Hardee's chicken fingers are better than Zaxby's here as far as taste and portion. Zaxby's seems to have gotten salty as hell for some reason.

Can't believe all the panera hate in here. it's the perfect lunch. Half sandwich and cup of soup. not over the top unhealthy like a lot of fast food and not too expensive. Doesn't make you drag the rest of the day.
I agree with the rest, I think it sucks as well. Bread is way too hard and I'm surprised at it's "not too expensive" either, because a half and half here is over $10. No thanks.

Zaxbys is gross. With Canes open here now, they might as well close their doors

I've heard a lot people say Bojangles is really good.

Yeah I agree. Panera is legit. Worth the extra few bucks for a real meal. Bacon turkey bravo with chicken and rice soup, great lunch.

As far as overrated I'd have to go with Jimmy John's. Love the fast delivery, but pretty much every sandwich on their menu tastes the same. Would much rather have Jersey Mike's or Potbelly. Potbelly is my shit.

Jimmy John's def way overrated. My wife is obsessed with it and I don't get it at all.

Ha! I said the same thing about JJ's. The price is on point though. I think their bread taste like straight salt.

When the wife and I would go, it would be around $30. That's a lot for soup and a sandwich. They also were always out of what we wanted. They then changed the menu. The current menu sucks and it's way over priced. Jason's Deli is much better with a whole lot of better choices to choose from.

I would usually get a whole sandwich with a drink, and she would get the half sandwich/half soup. I thought they were better before they changed the menu. They took a lot of stuff off of it. If I'm going to pay $30, I've got other places I'd rather go.

It's just my personal preference.

I love the food at Red Robin but the price not so much.......Family of four is looking at $110 Before tip at a burger joint.....that's with a couple beers but still high priced

The average guest check at my location is only 13.95 (55.80 for a family of four) which is above the company average by a few pennies. I would love to have guests like you come in every day! ;)

but seriously though guys. Don't blame the restaurants on high costs. Blame the crazy minimum wage increases. My current minimum wage is 9.55 and will increase to 10.75 on October first! It was 7.50 less than 2 years ago! parts of the country are already over 13 and quite a few states on schedule to be at 15$ and hour within the next few years.

Only way to combat these crazy minimum wages and maintain quality is to raise the prices. Until the fully automated ordering comes into play.

The 7 grain bread or whatever they call it is pretty fucking good.

Their white bread is trash.

Either way there are better sandwich options at the same price point.

Only time I'm OK with JJ's is when we order it in for a work meeting or conference or something. The delivery is nice.

No doubt their quick delivery and fast service is the biggest thing they got going for them. Definitely hard to beat in that category.

Jimmy Johns is straight. The bread is better than subway or quizzno's. Any place that has the food ready before you finish paying is good in my book. Club Lulu and the italian nightclub are what I get.

Zaxby's is crap. Gotta get with Guthrie's.

Just opened one around here, it's very good.


I guess it's very good, if you're into fried chicken fingers, because there is absolutely nothing else on the menu. I Wasn't impressed, and it was over priced.

I'd honestly much rather eat at McDonalds, at least there I have some choices.
