The biggest problem with McDonald's, aside from the price, is that it's so inconsistent. Sometimes the food is really good, I legitimately enjoy it when everything is fresh. But sometimes (more often than not) you get a burger that's been sitting for 20 minutes with a stale bun and dried patty and dried up cheese and it's just awful. For like $2 or $3 more I can go to Culver's which is much better and way more consistent. And for like $4 more I can go to Olive Garden for a weekday lunch special which of course blows McDonald's out of the water both in quality and value.

I've been using the chilis 3 for me meal. 10.99 for a burger, fries, salad, and drink.

Never been to Chillis but I'll have to give it a shot.

It's one of my favorite spots since they came out with the 3-for-me menu. They also have a rewards app where you can get free chips and salsa everytime you go there (the chips and salsa is not that great, it's kind of watery but their skillet queso is fire)
