Inspired by the Baconator thread: what are your favorite highway-exit-chain fast food orders?

I'm pretty sure I'd still snarf down some Arby's mozzarella sticks and a Jamocha shake like there's no tomorrow.
I mean, I'd hate myself afterward, but...
(in actual good trashy fast food, Portillo's chocolate cake shake is Of the Gods.)

Whataburger all the way.
Believe it or not, Jack in the Box actually has really good egg rolls. The rest of the menu is kinda dicey, but those egg rolls...

I don't like Sonic's food, but their Ocean Water soda/slushie is fucking amazing. It's like drinking a nonalcoholic blue piña colada.
Also, fuck it, I'm not above Taco Bell now and then. I love the chicken chipotle griller especially.

- Double cheeseburger with mustard and pickles only. Especially from Whataburger. (BTW, their fries are WAY better than McD's).
- Double-double animal style from In-n-Out Burger.
- Tofu (or vegetable) fried rice pretty much anywhere you want to get it.
- Shrimp and fish platter (the #1) at Long John Silver's, with coleslaw and extra hush puppies.
- Not sure if buffets count, but Cici's. The spinach alfredo pizza is delicious, and it's like the perfect restaurant for satisfying a small child.
- Foot long chili-cheese dog at Sonic. I can make a better version of this for sure, but sometimes it's just there, ya know?
- Beef and cheddar sandwich at Arby's, no red sauce. 'Cept both the curly fries and the traditional fries suck, so I just get two sandwiches.
- Sausage, egg and cheese biscuits at Jack in the Box. Breakfast all day is the way to play.
- It's been at least a decade since I've been to either McDonald's or Burger King. I don't like them.

Sticking to chains here - for things we have in town:
Spicy Chicken at Wendy's
Double Mozza Burger @ A&W
Crisp Beef Burritos at Taco Time
Beef and Cheddar at Arby's (We may not have arby's anymore though, haven't seen one in a while)
Triple Pork Poutine at Smoke's
While Travelling:
Butter Burger and Cheese Curds at Culver's (omg yes)
Double Double Animal style at In-n-out, their fries can go to hell though.
We have so many great local burger joints (particularly the greek run fat boy places) that I rarely hit chain fast food for a burger. Especially now that with current fast food prices unless you order off the value menu the better burger is going to be only a buck or two more.

Sometimes I get burritos at the Del Taco. They're not particularly good, but they don't care about the minimum purchase requirements on their coupons/offers, so I can get three for under a dollar and a half, a cost I might make up in grabbing taco sauce packets I don't use on anything I order there.
I sometimes eat at the Culver's, but I feel that's not really trashy compared to anything else with the fast food label.

Butter Burger and Cheese Curds at Culver's (omg yes) YAASSS. I was recently on vacation out west, and somehow managed to resist stopping at Jack in the Box for a Bacon Ultimate Greaseburger. The Manic Tomlets were clamoring for hot dogs one day, so we went to a Weinerdude (do people still call them Weinerdude? Cuz I do.) where a habit from 25 years ago made me automatically say "and an order of chili cheese fries". |

It'd be easier to name the trashy fast food I don't love.

Because you just reminded me that I should have included the Polish sandwich from Weinerschnitzel, though I haven't had one of those in years and years and years. |

Highway-exit fast food? No, it is the urban hole-in-the-wall cheesburger and milkshake that is the best.

Animal style fries from In-N-Out, the McDonald's Shamrock shake, Burger King fries, Arby's mozzarella sticks, 7-11 taquitos, popcorn chicken from KFC, and literally anything from Taco Bell. Hedonism reigns.

I like McDonald's and Wendy's amongst the big chains. I got a shamrock shake last month and was happier to do so than maybe I should have been. That green colouring is so festive and almost magical to me on some level.

The king of the trashy foods is the Reser's-brand microwave burrito, preferably red hot beef or beef and bean. From frozen, they should be microwaved for one or two minutes and then gently sauteed in olive oil, flipping occasionally, until crisp and hot through. They can then be served with sour creams, salsa, and shredded cheddar.
But if we're taking drive-throughs, I'm going to Mcdonalds and getting either two mcchickens and a double cheeseburger, or a big mac.

Man, you know what I miss from McDonald's? Chicken fajitas. They were total garbage and awful and had only the barest resemblance to an actual chicken fajita and I fucking LOVED them as a kid. I was thrilled when they briefly brought them back for a time, although I never actually admitted that to anyone before now.

This thread has a shocking lack of Chik-Fil-A. The only logical explanation is that it is too good to be considered trashy, and there's nothing particularly fast about a drive-thru with 10+ cars perpetually in line.
The other week Pizza Hut had a coupon spread in the mailbox sale rag: $2.50 for a one-topping personal pan pizza. So on Friday I played a noon pickup game and then had a tasty memory of childhood for lunch.

I've been functionally boycotting them the last few years, but every so often someone will bring them in to a work event or something, I'll try them, and that will remind me that they're really overrated anyway. Popeye's is much better, Bojangles is better, and our local chicken chain (Lindy's) is better. |

I mean, obviously I now actively boycott the company - they don't want my icky gay money anyway - but I always thought they were mediocre at best. Their shakes weren't bad, though, I guess. |

Guy's...I have eaten multiple McGriddles for breakfasts. On purpose. McDonald's breakfast is always a last resort, but my McGriddles love is my secret shame.

I've only seen a chik-fil-a once in my life. They don't seem to exist anywhere in the US I visit regularly.
