The most dominant choices were Chik-Fil-A in the Drive-Thru Experience category and Buffalo Wild Wings in wings.

The lowest percentage to win was shared by Cracker Barrel in breakfast, Firehouse Subs in sandwiches and Texas Roadhouse among steakhouses.

The sweet tea duel between Chik-Fil-A and Bojangles went down to the wire.

Good Taste is REALLY good. That being said. Bigger fan of osakas! (Yeah i know, Chinese vs. Japanese...)

I think all of their customers would disagree. They waited 6 mos for it to reopen and you can still barely find a parking spot there and theyve been open at their new place for like a month.

teriyaki house is the real loser when it comes to osaka, which sucks. Ive been eating there since I got to lynchburg, and now their business is suffering. Its the same food, just slightly better, and a bit cheaper, just an older non-remodeled store
QB Competition

We have some strong points (not many) but overall […]

Bowling Green

We need to play more physical. Lost that with JSU […]

But all the comments are that he wasn't a leftist.[…]
