Arby's - incredibly inconsistent. If there's processes the franchises need to follow, there's a whole bunch around here that aren't. During lunch rush downtown, they'd make a whole bunch of food around 11:30am, let it sit under the heat lamps for 30 minutes before the crowd came so they could serve them quickly. Absolutely disgusting.
A&W - disgusting chicken nuggets - they tasted like milk for some reason. Thank god they brought in that Chubby Chicken. Only chain I've ever been to where the burgers you get look exactly like the ones in the commercial. Too bad they're tiny and mostly tasteless. They changed their bun over the years, and now it's a bit too firm for my liking. Great onion rings.
McD - awful, awful, awful burgers. Go once a year to remind myself how bad it is. Great fries though. Service has declined markedly over the years. It always astonishes me how their employees are totally incapable of making a sandwich not messy.
Wendy's - pretty good. Great thick fries. Some of their chicken burgers are too dry. Some of their beef burgers are just ok - but the Big Bacon Classic is quite good. They like to mess up orders though - this has happened to me quite regularly.
In'n'Out - the best place, hands down of all the fast food burger chains. Great burgers (but you gotta love onions). Great fries.
Red Robin - love their burgers. Too bad they've left Calgary temporarily. Had the best fries ever. Too bad they changed them to the kind the American RR's made. This was one of the few times I actually wrote their corporate head office repeatedly begging them to change them back. They were one of the first places in Calgary to offer free refills on soda. I remember when the waiters used to tell me they wouldn't refill my glass more than 2 times
But the best is to find some local place. There's a few places here that make great burgers.
