    Popeyes, yes. Zaxby's isn't fast food (and I think CFA makes better chicken). Church's is ok, but not as good as CFA

    Some do according to the link he posted. I actually like the program. It’s only available to certain individuals. People that can’t store food for instance, like the homeless. They have to qualify for a specific program on top of snap to be able to use the card at the appropriate location. Some participants listed in the link are:

    Dairy Queen
    Jack in the box
    KFC
    Taco Bell
    BK
    Del taco
    Subway
    Quiznos

    There are many others. It’s localized to states that have joined the program like Arizona and California, and not in all counties.

    Here’s the actual program link in Arizona:

    All I saw was the heading of fast food chains that didn't take EBT. Thanks for the clarification.

    Chick-Fil-A has the best lemonade. Everything else is really good. We go there at least once each week.

    A couple weeks after his 16th birthday, while working at McDonalds, my son was propositioned several times by a 35 year old queer co-worker. McDonalds did nothing about it. My son quit and we don’t eat at McDonalds anymore. Pride!

    Chik-fil-A is solid food... they have a nice, if overpriced, salad...

    I don't care one whit about their views, as long as they don't try to sell me that with my chicken....

    P.S. Gotta tell ya, I avoid In-N-Out like the PLAGUE when I go to Vegas.... Tried it twice and I just don't get it...

    Since when has it ever been hard for a Christian owned business to thrive in America? The answer is never.

    That is, except Mormons. And of course the people who drove them out? Other Christians...shocker.

    Don't believe everything you read. The company is growing but is not even close to any of the big players.

    Brand value of the 10 most valuable fast food brands worldwide in 2018 (in million U.S. dollars)

    G-value-of-the-most-valuable-fast-food-brands-worldwide-.png
    The statistic shows the brand value of the 10 most valuable fast food brands worldwide in 2018. In that year, the brand value of Starbucks amounted to approximately 44.5 billion U.S. dollars. McDonald's was the most valuable fast food brand in the world with an estimated brand value of about 126.04 billion U.S. dollars.

    ,
    Maybe THAT particular In-n-Out is not up to snuff? Or maybe it's just not for you? I dunno. I mean, someone earlier said Popeye's was excellent and yet - oh maaaan, when my wife and I went in, she was so grossed out by the flies she walked out the door. We have never been in ANY Popeye's since, and *I'M* certainly not arguing with She who must be Obeyed! Popeye's may be good but I'm not personally gonna find out in this lifetime!

    The Chik-Fil-A we have is probably the cleanest fast-food place here. That counts for a lot, it's just as important as their food tasting pretty good.

    I think their success is due to the boycott. Anything the left hates, the right will support just to spite them (and most certainly vis versa). Its Iikely CFA increased their quality and service in response to the boycott as well, turning trenders into regular customers. Ive never eaten there (beef > chicken), but I've heard the service is above average. But I think the 'reverse boycott' is the main source of their growth.

    If the left had left em alone, they would still be just another mediocre fast food joint unremarkable amidst the sea of similars.

    Just more evidense folks still refuse to accept the power of the 'Streisand Effect'.

    Never heard of zaxbys, strongly disagree with regard to churches. Popeye's is a contender. Mostly because you can get sides other than waffle fries.

    Best fried chicken here though is a place called Frenchy's. If you are ever in this area, try it, especially if you like Popeye's.

    Last time I went to Popeyes my total came to 6.66

    The girl at the window said it was bad luck and to order something else.

    Then she charged me 6 bucks and threw in desert. :/

    Being a Christian isn't about believing in God. It's about believing God. Taking Him at His word and trusting in it. You might be able to live a somewhat moralistic life. But you cannot live a Christian life apart from faith in Christ.
    Living a moral life is NOT what Christianity is about.

    I wonder if it’s a coincidence that kfc, church’s, and Popeyes all except entire. I don’t see a single fried chicken place on there.

    It's funny because in the two strip malls a block over from me is every one of those save DQ.

    I remember a few years ago some idiot was screeching that fast-food places do NOT take EBT so I drove over, took pictures of them, and posted them here.

    That sounds like MCD alright. My wife worked at MCD well she was going to school for her Associates, they had a hired a convicted sex offender working there. They just didn't put him on shift where underage female co-workers were working.
