I do my best to avoid Micky Ds. We do FF about 2 times a week because of our schedule, but they are the last option and one I would rather not do at all. The food sucks, they are about the slowest FF joint in town, and they are no longer cheap compared to other FF joints around here.

We have better food at about the same cost at a few local bars around here (if bought without adding boos).

If we are traveling, we usually hit the busy truck stops. The food is good, usually the service is faster, and the pricing isn't much higher then the FF joints. We have learned our lessons about stopping at truck stops that are not busy, there are reasons they are not busy.

We have also discovered that if you are in IA, KY, or TN (and probably a few other states), you eat at gas stations during the lunch hours, or you might not get to eat at all.
