bigruss Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Mar 4, 2012 -> 08:01 PM) Jimmy John's El Pollo Loco Both highly false statements. I can't stand Potbelly's, and comparing Popeyes to El Pollo is like comparing mashed potatoes to french fries, they can both be at the top of their game and even though they come from the same thing they aren't in the same category.

kapkomet Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I've gotten to the point where I can't stand Subway - the bread is all dried out and nasty. We don't have Pollo Loco up here I don't think but I liked it pretty good when we've stopped in places south of here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooftop Shots Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 OMG i don't what I'd do if Palermos pizza was no longer available. Almost had a coronary last year when a bridal shop burned down last year. It was 2 doors away from Palermos. Fortunately, Palermos was untouched.

farmteam Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Russ, Meatheads is pretty good, try it out. And Five Burgers are definitely worth all the hype. So delicious. The fries are pretty good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'll have to keep that in mind next time I get up to Chicago. One of the downsides to having small children is that the trips to Chicago have been much less frequent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Beef-a-Roo. They have 5 or 6 locations in the Rockford area and they are always voted as having the best fries in the city. Their burgers are really, really good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Roundhead's Pizza Pub. Great pizza, and possibly the best spot to watch sports I've ever enjoyed. Two delicious, west suburban locations. Edited March 5, 2012 by Steve9347 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnB Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I don't know what I'd do w/o Portillo's. As far as out of town, whenever I'm on the east coast - my first stop is ALWAYS In n Out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I lived on Sonic in college, though they're becoming pretty damn national. Also, Chick-Fil-A. I didn't think a plain chicken sandwich could be that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Everytime I read an article about Giordano's troubled future I quickly glance around to make sure no one saw that tear roll down my cheek. Whether or not I eat pizza ever again is directly tied to their future. Portillo's was mentioned. I'm pumped every time I go to our place down in Florida. Checkers seems to thrive nicely down there. I'm not big on Fast Food, but I'll eat the biggest, greasiest burger on their menu every day I'm down there. Chik-fil-A would be another one, though they seem to have started spawning all over the place now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
