What large/famous fast-food restaurants you never visited?

28 comments

  6. Cracker Barrel, Waffle House, White Castle, Whataburger, Cheesecake Factory Buffalo Wild Wings, Panera Bread, Noodles and Company.

  8. Does it count if they aren’t in my area? In and out, whatta burger, del taco, etc..

    I will add locally I have never been to long John silvers, or red lobster because I despise seafood. I also haven’t been in a Cracker Barrel because I don’t have my AARP card yet.

  9. White Castle and In and Out are two I know exist, but I’ve never been nearby one.

  11. Arby’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Maybe Burger King, all those California ones.

    McDonald’s is our emergency fast food place on the road and and my kid actually likes Five Guys enough and go there at least 5 times a year.

    I’m the mom that is too cheap to go to fast food places- “I can make you a better hamburger at home!”

  13. I’ve never been to an In-and-Out and probably never will. Nothing I’ve heard about it appeals to me.

  15. Its not fast food, but the quality of the food might as well be.. but ive nwver been to the Olive Garden.

  17. Found a list, and wow, more than I came up with off the top of my head:

    In-and-Out, Jack-in-the-Box, Carl’s Jr (been to Hardee’s though, basically the same), Hunt Brothers Pizza, Tim Horton’s, Wawa, Jimmy John’s, Jersey Mike’s, Chester’s Chicken, Church’s Chicken, Papa Murphy’s, Firehouse Subs, Raising Cane’s, Bojangles, Del Taco, Culver’s, Zaxby’s

    I was looking at the US/Canada-based options here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_fast_food_restaurant_chains

  18. As far as the US-based restaurants on [this list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_fast_food_restaurant_chains), I haven’t been to the following:

    Hunt Brothers Pizza (never even heard of it)

    Carl’s Jr. (I’ve been to Hardee’s, though)

    Blimpie

    Jack in the Box (when I was a kid, a couple boys died from eating here so I never felt the need)

    Chester’s International (never heard of it)

    Wingstop

    Church’s Chicken

    WingStreet

    Papa Murphy’s (never heard of it)

    MrBeast Burger (never heard of it)

    Zaxby’s

    Checkers and Rally’s

    Whataburger

    Qdoba

    Del Taco

    Captain D’s

    Raising Cane’s

    Charleys Philly Steaks (never heard of it)

    Round Table Pizza (never heard of it)

    Shakey’s Pizza (never heard of it)

    ​

    I probably haven’t been to most of the other restaurants listed in years.

  21. White Castle, Zaxby’s, Church’s Chicken – though one opened up here not too long ago, I just haven’t felt the need to go.

    Husband and I have a fun argument that we solve every time we go to Las Vegas – Shake Shack vs In-N-Out. He prefers one and I prefer the other. So we eat at both every visit.

  24. Buc-ee’s (pronounced Bucky’s). We traveled thru Tennessee and Georgia on spring break last year and everyone recommended it for the BBQ, just never made it there.

    I see there will be one near Madison WI next year, might hit that one at some point.

  27. Zaxby’s
    I don’t think I’ve seen one.

    Having lived in the SW, MidWest, NE, and travelled to CA and TX, i think I’ve had almost everything else I’ve seen mentioned in this thread.

    Here’s some un-asked-for opinions:
    Freddy’s is nearly as good as In-n-Out.
    LJS chicken is a hidden gem.
    Culver’s is OK, the cheese curds are the redeeming factor.
    Taco John’s > Taco Bell (potato olés… iykyk) not sure it counts as “large/famous” though

  28. White Castle, Whattaburger, Chipotle, Zaxbys, and Bojangles are the ones I can think of. Mostly regional stuff I think, haven’t spent a ton of time in the south, lived in California for a minute so I got a few of those regional ones out of the way. There’s probably more in just not thinking of
