I’m surprised Popeyes didn’t make the list, something that delicious can’t be good for you.

Top Ten Unhealthiest Fast Food Chains In America

  1. Wendy’s: The Triple Baconator meal clocks in at over 2,000 calories, and the chain’s deals and late-night hours encourage frequent overindulgence.

  2. Sonic: With massive portions and sugary drinks, like the 44-ounce Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Master Shake, Sonic packs an alarming calorie and sugar punch.

  3. Taco Bell: Its loaded burritos and combos sneak in sky-high calorie and sodium levels.

  4. Dairy Queen: Blizzards and fried combo baskets often push a single meal past the 2,000-calorie mark.

  5. KFC: A three-piece Extra Crispy combo delivers about a full day’s worth of salt, saturated fat, and calories in one go.

  6. Quiznos: Oversized subs like the Classic Italian hit about 1,300 calories and pack in excessive sodium, making it a heavy nutritional load.

  7. McDonald’s: A standard Big Mac meal can hit 1,300 calories, thanks to its fries and soda pairings.

  8. Smashburger: Stacked burgers like the BBQ Bacon Cheddar burger, plus decadent shakes, make this chain a caloric heavyweight.

  9. Little Caesars: One pepperoni pizza—marketed as an everyday meal—can supply more calories and salt than most people should consume in a day.

  10. Chick-fil-A: Meals like the fried chicken sandwich with waffle fries quietly deliver major calorie counts, but not as high as others on this list.

Killjoys. People often whine about getting the government out of the bedroom. I’d be happy if they’d just get out of my kitchen.

So as long as I eat Whataburger and Wingstop I’m good?

5 Guys…

That’s a good healthy choice too apparently

Stopped eating at Wendy’s when they stopped selling hamburgers a long time ago.

Still hit Taco Bell in Kingwood when I am working up there, bit otherwise stopped eating there when they stopped taking my orders at locations near me.

Notice neither is health related.

I wonder how the “Big Buford” with fries and a drink at Rallys/Checkers would fare.

:thinking:

8

Wendy’s doesn’t sell my bbq sauce anymore. I’ve already called corporate several times about it. Also they changed their fries. Not the least bit impressed with either choice.

9

Five Guys and In and Out have bad fries considering how good their burgers are. Really is unacceptable they put out such bad fries.

I stopped eating fast food in my early 20s, but in n out is the most overrated fast food in existence

The burgers are average even for fast food, and the fries are terrible

And this is having eaten it in both California and Texas

I feel like the brand and aesthetic itself is more valuable than the actual food, which is just ironic

I would rather eat Wendy’s than In n Out

11

In n Out has solid hamburgers but mediocre fries.

Whataburger fries are better.

In n out is a fresh tasting burger, and it’s cheap. The fries do suck, but at least they let you order an extra large shake, I’m looking at you chic fil a.

I don’t see Long John Silvers on the list. I think I’m in the clear.

Flawed list when Burger King or Jack-in-the-Box and Dairy Queen didn’t make the top 10 list.

Amarillo feels me!

LJS returned to Amarillo after a 6-year absence… the result was an 11-block long line for the drive-thru.

We lost our last one in L.A. due to the pandemic.

I would go way out of my way to taste those Krums.

Best chicken fingers in the world.

There are a grand total of 6 LJS’s in Texas south of I-10:

Pasadena
Victoria
Corpus
Laredo
and TWO in San Antonio

Things are tough all over… except San Antonio.

18

Also 1 each in Kyle, Buda, Austin, Round Rock and Marble Falls. KFC/LJS

Gee, I haven’t seen a LJS in Houston in eons. I’ve never seen one in Katy.

I do remember there was one close to the Houston neighborhood I grew up in, but it closed a long time ago.

Edit: I just googled it. Looks like there are a handful of locations in the Greater Houston area, but they are all in either northern suburbs or pasadena. None near me!

Last one I went to was at Harrisburg and Wayside. I think it was sometime after COVID… either me or my wife wanted LJS and the other one immediately agreed. That location is closed now.

I think for a lot of us it’s nostalgia as much as the food. I have great memories of my grandpa taking me and my sister to eat at the one on Fuqua back in the early 80s. To a little kid it felt like an adventure with all the ropes and nautical decor… and pirate hats!
