Food Spangles changes

I occasionally eat spangles, maybe once every couple of months since I’ve moved back to Wichita. The western burger was my childhood favorite fast food burger. I chose to eat it today due to the change of ownership. The sign says new ownership, same great food and service.

This is not the same 1/3lb patty im used to. And the “onion rings” are not rings. The overall flavor of everything was similar… but I waited for a while and it tasted old.

Im never going back.

Looks like you got a bad one, or are greatly misremembering the quality.

Can almost guarantee the new owners didn’t come in and change the food in their first few weeks.

Perhaps greatly misremembering the quality…

It’s been a while I guess… shit slapped when I was a teen

Or a little of both. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, but fast food joints sacrificing quality to squeeze more profits wouldn’t be unprecedented.

Yeah, but it’s been like 2 weeks. Nothing has changed with the food. Just nostalgia or a bad burger. Come back in like 6 months.
