I am an absolute sucker for all the Arby’s hate jokes in media. It’s so stupid and honestly in my opinion unwarranted but damn if it doesn’t make me laugh everytime I hear a joke about how terrible Arby’s is. The “I’m so hungry I could eat at Arby’s” trope tickles me every damn time.
All that being said, if ANY fast food restaurant truly deserves the hate jokes, it’s Carles Jr/Hardees. Their “food” on their best day is tasteless and it just goes downhill from there. I will eat gas station nachos before I eat at CJr. I will eat a Mr. Beast Feastables bar before I eat at CJr. If I’m on a road trip, I haven’t eaten in 6 hours, and I say to myself “whatever restaurant I see on the road next I’ll eat there” and I see a CJr, I will keep driving, no matter how hungry I might be. That shit is garbage and I think it should be socially acceptable to shame people who eat there.

Pretty unpopular. I loved Carl’s before they changed out the lettuce. Now I can’t even do lettuce-wrapped burgers without the thing disintegrating in my hands. I’ve eaten there maybe twice since the change… used to go every other day when I was doing keto. That lettuce is an abomination.
That’s funny cause it’s like the only fast food place I think isn’t super gross. Take my upvote.
Wrong
Long John Silvers still exists, so…
That’s an unpopular opinion? I had their chicken tenders once, and they were so greasy that it felt like they were slipping out of my hands.

Hardee’s menu is bad, and it’s been like 20 years since I tried Carls, but I remember their burgers being pretty decent and having a pretty varied burger menu
Double western bacon cheeseburger, makes me feel awful, but I’m still going to eat it.
I’m constantly trying to sell people how good Hardee’s breakfast is. Their biscuits are unmatched in fast food chains.
The breakfast burger is mighty tasty
They have a $4 “California Burger.” Great deal and tasty
Their breakfast is great. It might be the best fast food breakfast.
I’m shocked. I regard Hardees as one of the few last good fast food places still standing.
More like just wrong. There is no way this isn’t some weak troll post.
I was once on the way to a concert as a teen with my parents. I was hungry and they didn’t wanna buy concert priced food so stopped at Carl’s Jr. I got my chicken tenders and as I was about to eat, saw a beetle crawl out of the bag onto the seat. Never again
In community college, I absolutely love their burger for long study session. So I just can’t relate, so have an upvote and Burger King easily the worst.
Hardee’s used to be awesome
Weak troll post come on try harder
Subway 100%
My Hardee’s story is that my buddy got a burger, where the bun was half blue. He took it back up to the counter, they hardly reacted, gave him another one, no fries, no refund, it was like they weren’t surprised in the slightest lol
Just had Carl Jrs for the first Time in the tulum airport this week (as Canadians who don’t have any) and the wife and I were both very impressed lol
Welp! It’s an unpopular opinion for a reason 🤷♂️ I will admit their quality has gone down with some items but what I still love to this day is a solid Double Western or a Super Star which they rebranded to Double Famous Star which kinda pissed me off but whatever. Also their breakfast burger hits as well! I am sad they got rid of their sourdough breakfast sandwich though 🙁
It’s better than burger King and a bunch of other ones
Maybe you just went to a shitty one. It was my first job and the shit wasn’t that bad if you actually made it properly with fresh ingredients
The problem with a lot of restaurants is the high turnover rate and a lot of workers don’t give a shit about the job
Arby’s gets hate because besides roast beef and curly fries most of the stuff wasn’t great. Seems like they completely changed everything in the last decade
Have you eaten at Sonic?
It’s honestly mid-tier. It’s hard for me to see it as worse than what’s regularly coming out of Burger King and McDonald’s now which mostly has been pretty bad. In fact, if I was driving down the road with a choice between those three, I’d choose Carl’s Jr/Hardee’s easily.
And as for Arby’s, I actually like their stuff. Ironically, the only stuff they make which is legitimately bad and I don’t like is their roast beef sandwiches. Their fries and shakes are easily better than what any other non-regional nationally available fast food chain is putting out. And their Jalapeno Poppers are better than any other restaurant’s I’ve tried thus far. Their Gryros are also really good by fast food standards as well.
Carl’s Jr. should lean in an offer Brondo and their primary beverage…..it’s what plants crave
A lot depends on the franchise.
There is a Popeyes near me that while the food is not bad IF you live long enough to get it.
And one about 8 miles away that is fast and good.

I see you’ve never endured the Infamous Bonjangle’s Mudd Butt.
Arby’s has got to be eliminated.
