People Share 16 Of The Most Hyped Fast Foods That Actually Left Them Disappointed

If you suddenly get hungry, where do you go? Of course, there is a chance that you will go to some gourmet restaurant, but you must admit, the probability is rather negligible. After all, the main goal is to get full quickly, with something relatively tasty and, what is important, not for all the money in the world. That is, the answer is obvious - fast food.

For several decades now, fast food has been the main food industry on the planet, and burgers, French fries, shawarma, pizza, donuts and other classic elements make up the lion's share of the diet of many people worldwide. However, not all of us are actually delighted with fast food, realizing that good marketing is far from good food.

#3

Starbucks. The coffee tastes burnt and is way overpriced.

#4

Five Guys. It's good, but not "this meal cost me $30" good.

#5

McDonald’s. It’s not cheap. It’s not fast. It’s not good. Whatever I want that McDonalds sells, someone has a better one. And it probably costs about the same or less.

I travel a lot. The best and most consistent fast food in America is the taco truck/trailer/stand. Regular American fast food has reached a new low in the last few years. Even a simple hot dog surrender now has about a 75% chance of being a major disappointment. Subway has probably fallen the most.

Taco Bell, was great when you could eat for 5 bucks. Now it costs more then a real Mexican restaurant.

I hate Chipotle. It’s just garbage in a bowl.

#9

Dunkin. I'm a New Englander so we have them eeeeeeeverywhere. I want to love them. I really do. But the food they have is pretty terrible not to mention the coffee.

WINGSTOP. I think the fries are the worst thing on the menu. They’re horribly soggy and underseasoned.

#11

The pricing of fast food makes basically all of it seem overhyped to me because it never justifies the price even if it tastes good. So far the only fast food I would willingly pay current pricing for is Jollibee.

Unpopular opinion: as a Florida boy traveling to In-N-Out Burger while in San Francisco, it wasn’t great. I’ll take my 5 Guys and the down votes now.

#13

Raising Cane’s chicken has been described to me BY RAISING CANES FANS as merely a “Cane’s Sauce delivery vehicle.” Again, this was the best description FANS of the brand could give me. Because they primarily make chicken, and the chicken is pretty tasteless, yet somehow, they’re opening up a new one on every other block.

Shake Shack. Burgers are good, not amazing. Fries are mediocre. Expensive.

#15

As a fellow Texan, unfortunately, Whataburger ever since it was sold to corporate 😔.

Zaxby's. Steamed fries, soggy toast, and a couple of nugget-sized "tenders" is not it.
