Any Colorado residents here? I enjoyed Good Times recently and they had a double burger ('West Coast style' aka just like a double double from In-N-Out), fries, and drink for $5. Really killer deal IMO.

The burger itself was solid (still worse than In-N-Out, though) and the wild fries were flavorful- kind of reminded me of a slightly worse version of checkers fries.

All in all, really good deal for $5.

Colorado resident here but live way down in Pueblo. We don't have anything like those out of your normal MCd's, Wendys, Burger King other than CFA. Have to venture up to C Springs to get anything like Red Robin or Culvers.

Those TB chicken chips are bad and dry. Even with the nacho sauce. Not sure why I was expecting more.

Yeah TB is slipping a bit. They're usually pretty good about bringing out new products on the regular and they really need to replace the chicken chips.

Had one of the "gourmet" sandwiches at McD's the other day. I went with the pico guacamole with sesame bun and grilled chicken. I was actually pleasantly surprised. The sandwich was tasty and the guac had a spicy kick (but not too much). Fries, Dr. Pepper and the mandatory side order of crack (i.e. strawberry and creme pie) were also up to standard.

The whole order was a bit pricey at over 8 bucks, though I usually don't care that much if I get a satisfying meal, which I did in this case.

I got some that must have been kept warm all day. Completely dried out.

haven't been to CFA for a few years due to geography. No time for value here.. wife had the salad/diet coke, I warned her and it wasn't good.

Everything was 10/10 as usual. First frozen lemonade and man those are good.

All of them. Favourites were CFA sauce and poly. The garlic ranch was ok too for a few.

Man as soon as I move out of Bangor they bring all the heavy hitters into town. Actually I was there for the Buffalo Wild Wings and Five Guys openings. But now CFA, and I hear they have a Chipotle too?

Chipotle was across the street from the CFA Daryn. Easily 100+ people at CFA and crickets over at Chipotle. As it should be.

Wtf I love Buffalo Wild Wings. I think my favorite thing there is the nachos. Perfect fake cheese, thick slices of jalapeño. Great. I also enjoy the wings and watching sports there. They aren't like the best wings I've ever had obviously, but they're good enough.

BWW is good but definitely pricy at least in my experience

BWW is a cesspool. You're a flip to get violently ill from that quality of chicken they use.

Yeah I'm pretty down on BWW as well. Quality there is **** and it's pretty damn expensive for what you get. Wingstop is better in quality and value.

I don't think I've ever had a BWW trip that was less than 4/10 or one that was better than 6/10.

B dubs has quality suacses (#spelling) but their overall wing game is super soft

I think the spicy garlic is pretty tasty and something different than what you can get at a lot of wing places but everything else is pretty underwhelming.
