Vote for your LEAST FAVORITE fast casual restaurant.
A fast casual restaurant, found primarily in the United States and Canada, does not offer full table service, but advertises higher quality food than fast food restaurants, with fewer frozen or processed ingredients. It is an intermediate concept between fast food and casual dining.

So we’ve pretty much eliminated everything I don’t like or don’t eat very often. Now all that’s left is stuff I’ve never had and stuff that I eat regularly. I’m going to start out on Moe’s because there’s no way it’s that much better than Chipotle.
got a sub from firehouse once and i asked them to put mayonnaise on the inside and outside of the bread, and also pour oil on the inside and outside of the bread, and they gave me the sandwich and i threw it in the back seat and drove for five hours to another city, when i got there i opened up the sandwich and it was a wet disgusting mess.

I don't eat any of these regularly (I would 5 Guys if I was still scarfing burgers), but it's down to places I know and places I looked at the menu to see what they were.
Know
Blaze - pretty good place I've eaten at twice and would eat again
Moe's - eh - been there a couple times. Their salsa bar is pretty good for a chain though, and you can put that on anything to improve it
5 Guys - good usually. Their fries are great as long as you don't let them steam in the brown bag. They double-fry them which is the proper way to fry real [tm] potatoes as opposed to real [tm] frozen potatoes. Their smash-style burgers are good enough. But they do have lots of toppings others chain burger places don't like green bell peppers and fresh jalapenos. Probably the worst thing about 5 Guys is that if you get bacon on your burger, it's 95% burned.
Torchy's - good. I only went there once because it's hard for me to get what I want without a bunch of shit on the taco that I don't want. Every other time we got it, it was a mass order. The tacos there are better than Taco Cabana or Arandas in my opinion and are more creative.
Culver's - fairly decent. I went a couple times and got chicken soup which was good and maybe chili which was okay for fast food. People like them some butter burgers but they do have a lot of other things on the menu that are a little above medicore.
Firehouse - possibly decent. I went once and remember they had a bunch of hot sauces for the customer to choose from once you got your sandwich.
McAllister's - eh - Not particularly good. Of note (per round 1) when my daughter was working there, her friend K got hit on by Anthony Davis who used to come in and grab it. She would not give him her phone number and had no idea who he was. At best, they're okay
Shake Shack - ? - Fucked up my order so I didn't eat it and never went back. ------------------------- Never been to: Nathans, Fuzzy's, Chicken Salad Chick. But I don't eat hot dogs or chicken salad. So those would be at the top of my list to vote off except for Vieux Crab is so violently opposed to Nathan's that I can't vote for them yet. I think the way I'd rate these Top 11 would be:
1. Torchy's 2. 5 Guys 3. Blaze Pizza 4. Fuzzy's Taco Shop (based on menu fuzzystacoshop.com/menu/ ) 5. Culver's 6. Shake Shack (based on others' approval) 7. Moe's 8. McAllister's 9. Firehouse Subs T. Chicken Salad Chick (though if you eat this type of food, it's much higher) E. Nathan's Famous - Nathan's is pretty good for a hot dog, but I don't even care about Varsity in ATL or anything. Been there, and it's fine if you eat hot dogs. Assuming this would be too except Kosher.
So really outside of chicken salad chick, these are mostly in "okay" range with a couple being decent for what they are.

Changed my vote from Blaze to Nathan’s for Vieux. I’ve got nothing against Blaze, just never had it.
Moe’s, Culver’s, and McAlister's are my three favorites of what we have here. I will say of McAlister’s, it’s down to what you get. I don’t like their soup or their ciabatta bread, and the only time I got a potato, it was bad, which is ridiculous. But I love their ultimate nachos and a few of their sandwiches.
