New fast food discussion/review thread - Page 2305 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

This isn’t exactly fast food but me and my brother are eating at the all you can eat meat buffet tonight. Brazilian steakhouse. I’m sure you Vegas guys have probably tried Brazilian steakhouse already but for those who have not they bring different meat skewers over and cut you off pieces at your table. Leg of lam, tri tip, pork loin, chicken and an expansive salad bar spell bad news for my fat ass

Which one are you going to? I’ve only been to Texas de Brazil, but it has been great every time I’ve gone.

Yeah, most of the times I’ve been I didn’t even go to the salad bar, just scoffed at those who did.

Had 2 of the new TB value beef burrito today. Improvement over the beefy frito imo, same size. I've never valued the frito addition, creamy Jala sauce is good, not a single vegetable in sight. Pretty much what I'm looking for out of a TB item.

the new TB beef burrito is fine, I'm not really missing the fritos much tbh.

the value menu with the $1 beef burrito and the double nacho crunch taco isn't so bad. pray they alter it no further.

Was the place I went, it was good. There was a salad bar that was roped off and workers with gloves and masks plate up what you requested. Lots of good meats, bacon wrapped filets and bacon wrapped chicken breast were out of this world. Pork ribs were a little tough but it was the only disappointment.

I just looked on the app, the frito-less beefy burrito is $1.49 in my area. Remove the Fritos and raise the price? Profit $$$$$$$

Creamy jalapeño is a good add, though.

I've seen it at 1.39 in some places, and as low as 1 all in the same metro so you might get lucky if you hunt around on the map.

This one is absolutely going away in the near future as part of the give us extreme value promotional items we like then replace (Loaded Taco Burrito RIP) with trash value promotional (Trilupa) item campaign.

That strat must be super effective because they've been on it for years.

Thanks for the tip, dmatz. I’m still quite bitter at the Bell, thinking of smashing another double whopper for lunch (breakfast).

Idiots here get Slurpees when it's minus 40 so it's not surprising DQ works. Even without steak fingers

Ha, the location we used to have here would close in the winter, about when it dropped to 50F.

Think of it less of a salad bar and more of a cured meats and cheeses bar.

Dream of it you mean? Because you just described the “salad bar” of my dreams.

The "salad" bar at Brazilian BBQ is awesome. I missed it when going to Via Brasil 2 months ago.

Popeyes spicy chicken continues to be excellent. Ordering it with extra sauce is just sublime. It's almost too much of a good thing.

I did what all of you were thinking about doing

I went to LJS/KFC and got 2 fish and 3 chickys w KFC fries, all of them were amazing.

Then I crossed the parking lot to get Taco Bell

New beef burrito was very good especially for $1

New taco thing was a great deal for $1, but I would never get it instead of that aforementioned burrito.

Then a Mexican pizza because tradition.

Full disclosure did not even come close to really denting those fries and I only ate 25% of Mexican pizza.

We will see if I live to see tomorrow, it’s anyone’s guess at this point. I called my mom from the parking lot to make sure I could tell her I love her one last time.
