Which place do you go to for a $5 cheapy meal?

I forgot "Other" choice. If you want to vote for your local Chinese food place or hot dog stand, then just vote for Domino's, since it will be in last place, imo.

While I was making the poll, I remembered to include Taco Bell, so it is now fixed. Sorry to have offended all Taco Bell customers.

Not a fair comparison since half the choices listed won't get you a beverage for the $5, the other half will - How can you possibly compare a $1 hamburger to a $5 sub?

Out of that list I'd choose subway.

Domino's 10-in pizza is one of the most disgusting things ever.

I'd actually buy a burrito.

I guess that's something you have to take into consideration when you have $5 to spend...water is free.

Quizno's is the nuts. I feel like it's healthier than anything else on there (though I'm prepared for the fact that's totally false). At least I feel like I'm making a better choice when I go to Quizno's. I feel gross eating food from any of those other places.

2 db Cheeseburgers at BK and a small coke. $3.21.
Plus if you go in, you can drink the soda and refill it for free.
*****, I should eat there more often.

working at quizno's made that food taste pretty bad

subway's is worse than quizno's

togo's, hmm, i haven't been there since i was a kid -- is that place any good? only subway place i'd give a shot to nowadays.

everything else on that list is meh except wendy's. mcdonald's if you're desperate. but wendy's chili + frosty + jr bacon cheeseburger = all i need.

I think quizno's is the worst value per dollar than any fast food place on or off that list. I've gone there like three times in 4 years, and each time I couldn't believe how much the total was. The subs are really very average. Nothing special about them for the $$$ they charge, unless you think they should get an extra buck per sub because they thought of toasting them.

Maybe you can decide which you'd rather spend money on? Christ.

Wendy's is so strong because their dollar menu has a double stack, a bacon burger, a chicken sando ("sando" for you dids!), and nuggets, plus the goodies like Frosty, fries, etc. I think Wendy's has the best dollar menu in the biz.

But since the question isn't about dollar menus, but about $5 overall, I'd have to go with a Five Guys burger and a beer.

I haven't seen that for a while, and I live in a cheap-as-**** area. It's been 5 for $5.95 for a few years around here.
