Their new special I see on TV includes chips and salsa, a soft drink, and a burger and fries for $10.99. This is nearly the same price as a "value" meal at any of the fast food burger joints. Fast food might be dead as we know it.

I would think McD's can survive on breakfast, but IDK. I do wonder how much fast casual like Panera and Chipotle is hurting fast food.

Most of McDonald’s business is through the drive-thru. It’s apples and oranges.

Chili's is dead here. The one on Pinhook has at most 6 cars in the parking lot at any time. The other one does better but not great.

I really thought terrible service, bad food, and escalating prices would have destroyed McDonald's by now.

McDonalds is too big to fail. It’s also a steady source of patients to be churned through the medical-industrial complex.

Fast food hasnt died because of the drive thru.


It’s easier for parents than trying to get everyone to a sit down dinner on a Tuesday after dance and baseball.

Chic fi la is going with a third lane now I think? They weren’t making this money when they were just a small op in the mall food courts.

It’s because they opened stand alone restaurants with drive thrus and do really well getting their food out to the customer regardless of how busy or not busy they are.

Chili's could make that deal $1 and McDonald's would be fine.

Mickey Ds has enough wealth that they'll revert right back to the dollar menu to destroy the competition.

when wendys, mcdonalds, and BK are the highest places to eat, they lose their whole reason for being.

if Chillis has the best value meal, im always going there and so will most people

Yeah most people are going to McDonald’s because they need something quick. Not to sit down and enjoy a meal

I assumed Chilis was on the ropes. Not sure if just one item on the menu can revive them.

On another note, I see that Burger Doodle on Siegen has boarded up their windows too.

I guess this might save them. If I have half an hour to grab some lunch I'm going to the place with better food and service for a similar price.

Agreed.

McDonald's is the NFL of fast food. Nothing can kill it.
