McDonald’s has long forgotten what is supposed to be. Cheap, low quality food. Now it is expensive, low quality food. Like you said…you can get a better burger at a restaurant for the same price if not lower. Longhorn Steakhouse has a burger lunch special for $9.99
Just before COVID they had started to do a bit of a rebrand. They drove the prices up a little they had a decent chicken sandwich that was made of chicken breast. They brought in better buns the burgers were still s*** but the quality was a lot higher and the price was moderately higher. After COVID hit they scrapped all the fancy stuff for the menu and kept the high prices then inflation hit and they doubled those high prices.
I had Five Guys for the first time ever last year and I was surprised by how good their burger was. The prices were a little shocking, but the food was not bad.
Last time I went to McDonalds it was almost as much as a decent pub burger.
Why wouldn’t I just go there and get twice the quality unless I was close by and totally pressed for time?

The Whataburger sweet g spicy burger combo is all of like $12 and change after tax. And that’s the large size.
And their food is actually pretty good.
They always decent fasr food that was better than mega corps had to offer. Goot o see them still fighting the good fight lol
They aren’t, this guy is on crack. They got sold off, and their quality has suffered quite a bit.

Also there are fast food alternatives to McDonalds as well.
IMO, Wendy’s has much better burgers. Haven’t had Carl’s Jr’s in a long while but I remember their “$6 Burgers” were pretty good.
Burger King, the meat quality seems to have gone downhill. Like an unchewable but in each meat patty. They used to be my favorite.
Edit: the “$6 burger” is now called the thick burger since it now costs more than $6
Welcome to Carl’s Jr!
Fuck you. I’m eating!
I’m baitin’
Please come back when you can afford to make a purchase!
Dairy Queen has a $6 meal deal with a burger, fries, drink, and a sundae. All of it far better than MCD.
There’s also an option of chicken strips instead of burger if you want chicken instead of beef

Went to Five Guys and made the mistake of ordering the Grilled Cheese.
It was a burger bun, turned inside out, with a sad slab of half-melted American cheese between the pieces.
Never going back.
Just don’t get the grilled cheese. Their burgers are fuckin bomb though.
And their Cajun fries are pretty damn good, too.
The only reason I’ve only ever eaten at 5guys once is the fact that the place is just stupid with peanut shells.
Huh. Not where I went.
