Discontinued fast food items rant

[joevol33]

Buffets are still delicious

There's a golden corral in Buford Georgia that's pretty good in the evening, and weekend. We ate there last week, and the prime rib was seriously good. Tge best I've had was a place called bevricks in metter georgia. We found it coming back from tybee island just looking for something to eat on the ride home. They had menu items lije sreak and seafood, but offered a "country style buffet". Literally tasted like home cooked food, everything did. I want to go back so bad.

It’s not fast food but I sure do wish they still made jello pudding pops

Cosby ruined the chances of a pudding pop revival. Too synonymous with his commercials. They were great though.

Haven't done Shoney's breakfast bar since the guy in front of us, who already had his plate triple stacked, was double dipping biscuits in the gravy in line and leaning over the bar to eat it. We left. That was our last visit.

I've eaten a decent share of Subway, but it was never a hit with me to begin with. My favorite childhood sub shop was Blimpie. The best I've had lately is either Penn Station or Which Wich.

Love both Penn station and which Wich!

Wow, forgot all about them!

Long time ago, Krystal had a Big K or something like that I liked. It was full size hamburger with ham.

What are some of your favorite menu items that have been discontinued?
Taco Bell needs to bring back the spicy chicken burrito, the Baja style chalupas and gorditas, and the chili cheese burrito!
Miss the twister wrap from KFC.
Applebees sucks now too since they changed their whole menu. I miss their old chicken quesadillas, chicken Alfredo, and they used to have this amazing southwest chicken salad.
Outback steakhouse changed their shrimp on the barbee, and no longer have the delicious creamy onion soup or spicy Alfredo pasta that had shrimp and crawfish in it.
Pisses me off. Why do restaurants ruin a good thing?

You had me at spicy chicken and Baja. Probably a good thing it’s not there anymore.

I haven’t read the thread yet so I don’t know if anyone has mentioned Wendy’s Superbar . It was the jam when I was around 8 years old .

There's one in Panama city, or was for every time we went. It was good, we'd eat there at least once every time we went. Had one in Gainesville ga, but it wasn't as good.

We were out shopping and saw their sign advertising "kids eat free on Tuesday", and it was Tuesday. With 3 kids we went for it, but glad we did.

Funny story about the Wendy's superbar. I went there years ago with some college buddies and one of my friends was getting some bread (which was highly sought after). The lady behind him said in a smart a** tone "are you going to leave any for the rest of us?" He proceeded to take all the bread, at least 20 pieces, then sat at the table across from her. He then licked every piece while staring her down and threw it all away without even taking a bite! In retrospect a very immature a-hole thing to do, but we thought it was hilarious at the time.

How many of y'all remember Sambos Restaurant? My mom took me and my brother to eat there in 1977 and it was darn good.

We had one in Jackson 45 something years ago. I never went there to eat though.
Whenever I'd go to Memphis, I had to drive by the place to get onto I-40. I do remember the sign out front.

I lived in Holston Hills from 2000-2002 and that place was a favorite

Best spaghetti ever. We hardly ever got their pizza, but always got their spaghetti and onion rings.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

At LC schools the rectangle pizza was sausage and had white cheese. Then there was a "stop sign" shaped pizza that had yellow cheese and maybe pepperoni.

The stop sign pizza was mexican style I believe. It had ground beef, yellow cheese, and a chili flavored type sauce. It was so good. They served it sometimes at a middle school I went to in South Carolina.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I also miss the mystery meat chicken fried steak fingers that my elementary and middle school served in the lunch room

Yes! The steak fingers lol. They had them at Gibbs High.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Quarterpounder with cheese that taste like it did when I 10 years old.

I know what you mean. Husband and I stopped by a McDonald's when we were in Ireland. I got a quarterpounder, and I swear I knew something was different about it (in a good way) so that must be it. Their fries tasted like they fried them in the good stuff like old times too.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Those were tasty and cheap

Red Baron makes those. You can find them in the frozen section. They taste exactly the same.

Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had is from McDonald's in the Philippines. Don't eat the "beef" tho.

Lol. I'll be visiting my husband in Korea this summer. We want to go check out their McDonald's while I'm there. I'll keep this in mind

Proud Army Wife,the meat in the Phillipines is okay but watch out for the "Double Dead Meat"

I get the Red Baron frozen Classic pizza that has all the ingredients on it. I think it's better than Papa John's.

These frozen pizzas from Walmart are very good I think they're the best frozen pizzas Walmart has

Applebees had excellent hamburgers and were worth eating even though they cost a lot

I had Krystals for the 1st time in about 15 years on Fri. It'll probably be another 15 years before I have them again.
