The powerhouse of fast food vs. the new guy in pizza.

So which do you think, overall, is a better place to eat?

Take into consideration:

Value
Taste
Atmohsphere
Service

and anything else that would make a place a more desirable eating destination.

I have children and I don't think Papa Johns should've made it out of the last round. So it is another no brainer.

So the kids like the Happy Meal Toys more than the Pepperoncinis?

Love Papa Johns but McDonald's breakfast pushes it over the top for me.

Any restaurant that has a 30% chance of having a playground attached wins.

This made me laugh out loud, in class. Luckily, the professor had just put a picture from Anchorman on the overhead so I had an excuse to laugh.

When I laughed at that quote, I was the only person laughing. That awkward, lonely laugh that just makes you laugh more because you feel so stupid.

ticked at the McDouble, so any chance I can knock them out I will. But I hate bad pizza

I don't understand why you people are so up in arms about the McDouble. There is NO WAY you miss that second piece of cheese. No way at all. I don't miss it, and I'm fat.

McDonald's has great coffee, PapaJohn's doesn't

Papa John's is my 4th or 5th choice when going for pizza around here. McDonald's is much lower than that on my fast food list. Papa John's gets my vote.

I don't relaly like Papa John's but McDonald's is nasty 75% of the time I go. I only choose to go there when desperate.

So, the "Southern Style Chicken Sandwich" is probably the worst thing I have ever ordered from any place that serves food.

What a horrible, disgusting sandwich.

That's taking it a bit far, don't you think?

I went with Papa John's, because they usually make pretty good chain pizza (although I've grown partial to the Brooklyn pizza at Dominos recently). McDonald's just isn't anything special, and I try to avoid it (although it is one of the less unhealthy fast food joints in the bunch).

That thing is barely tolerable. Definitely the worst fast food chicken sandiwch i've ever had. I ask for it with no pickles and somehow it tastes like pickles yet there are no pickles on it.

The only reason I ever go to a McDonalds is if I'm eating while driving. If I could eat Papa John's while driving, I would be a happy man.
