New fast food discussion/review thread - Page 2712 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Fortunately, I have no experience with that. I'm thinking of the one which used to be in a strip mall. IIRC, it was on the east side, maybe down by Mandalay Bay? Anyway, the arches were yellow/gold light bulbs that would go on and off, kind of like the lights outside the Flamingo.

I don't visit that end of the Strip very often.

Taco Bell has some new combos on the menu for 5, drink and 2 items in a couple different formats. Seem to be on par with the cravings box value (5.99 in my market) and gets a couple new items in play.

Burrito supreme (or CGC), swap locos taco for taco supreme, upsize the drink for 5.30 total looks like the best one to me.

Also the crispy melt taco with the white corn shell is back. 2.50 a piece.

Speaking of Taco Bell, am I the only one who misses the Steak Tacos? I still have no idea why they took them off the menu.

Good job getting the thread back on track. It was on vacation for a while. Are people still on New Years diets? I kinda am.

Been eatin' fast casual lately. Nothing TR worthy, unfortunately.

My 'goto' Rick's b'fast order, which I think started at $3.58 out the door is now approaching $5. I've switched to the $2 b'fast sammich deal. Kinda bummed.

Any breakfast sammich. I used it this morning on a SEC biscuit that carries a $6.79! regular price.

My thoughts exactly Red. Rick is coming for TB breakfast value crown.

It’s times like these the loss of the Steak Egg and Cheese Bagel is felt the hardest.

Way more mornings than I care to admit I stop by Rick's for a SEC or Egg McMuffin and a large drink....$3.19 with tax. Solid value.

My local Ricks gave up on the $1 soda. It's now $1.39 or something.

No matter though since 95% of my fast food intake recently has been Popeye's spicy sandwiches. On an insane heater of really good or great sandwiches served up fast.

Popeyes sandwiches are hard to go wrong with if you have a good location.

Had a salad at Qdoba today, over $11 after tax. Could have been two Popeyes sandwiches.

The sausage muffin with egg is a better deal, at least where I live, because they give you a twofer deal. I think an egg muffin here is over 4 bucks, the the twofer above is about 6 bucks. There's a similar twofer on the sausage burrito, around 5 bucks here.

all the McDs near me have SEC mcmuffins for $2.50. All other breakfast sandwiches are $4+. Seems silly to order anything else (without a deal/coupon).

BOGO free breakfast sandwich deal is still available to me. 2 SEC mcgriddles for $4.59 isn't bad
