    One of m6 animal control officers said the incinerator at the dog shelter smelled like BK which is a mile down th3 highway. It would be interesting to know if their sales increase on the days it runs.

    Pricey for sure. We like the fresh cut fries. Light years better than BK in our opinion but you be the judge.

    We like them too, just don't order extra, because they give you a ton! I think we split one fry order, and still had too many!

    We have a small chain (less than ten locations) around here called Swenson's. Best burgers around and they come out to your car

    still remember the Mc Donalds add, burger ,fries , soft drink and get change back from a dollar- now days that has to upgraded change back from a $10 spot.
    I have to be fantastically desperate to visit most any food joint now days. The stuff in the frozen food isle at the grocery store isn't any better- if not worse, plus being over priced. Even the deli area at most grocery chains has gotten terrible. I will buy a roast at the store - if i want hamburger I will just grind it my self. I won't even get into what hamburger from a store usually is- you really do not want know. Same with processed meats.

    Thats one someone ordered that way lol. Basic burger starts with one patty and you can get as many as you like.

    I'll say this about French fries....

    I'm generally not a fry guy. Onion rings all day long is my thing. It takes a certain type of fry for me to like them. Usually thin and crispy. I can't stand thick cut mushy fries like red robin serves or limp fries of any size and thickness. Freddy's has good fries, Steak n Shake too. That local joint has good fries as well but if he sold onion rings, I'd buy those.

    Growing up there was a place called B&K BBQ that had the whole tray on the window deal. They had excellent pork sandwiches and their own brewed on site Root beer.

    Dog n suds and Sonic are the only I know of doing the tray on the window deal around these parts anymore.

    Ever notice if you don't have a craving for fries and get a small one that they are yummy awesome fries? But if you really have a taste for them and get a bunch they are cold, greasy pulled from the dumpster yucky!
