You should have got the Egg McMuffin. That is the best thing sold at McDonald's. If you want a burger, go to Burger King and get a Whooper. If you want chili, go to Wendy's. If you want tacos, go to Taco Bell. You just need to know how to shop. I don't like anything at Culver's.

We think alike. Egg McMuffin is the only food I go to McD's for, because they are very good. I might have one every two months. I hadn't been to Burger King in 15 years, but the new one in Trailwinds on 466A is spotless and the burgers have a BBQ flavor, which I had forgotten about. They are decent and the meatless burgers are edible and taste like a burger, but expensive, I believe the meal is $7.99. My problem, the Whopper is too big and the Junior is too small, so I found Wendys is the best, see below.
Wendys I hadn't been to one since 2011 and I went last year to the SS location. You're right, the chili is good, the only thing close is Steak N Shake Chili Supreme, but that place is a zoo. Why they don't spend a little money and expand that front into a waiting area. Always a line at Steak N Shake going in and getting out, confusion city. As far as Wendys, they have the best burger, I didn't realize it was juicy and not too big like a Whopper and not too small like most others.
Taco Bell have great soft tacos for a quick bite, I can't wait for the new one at Trailwinds. Went to Fiesta Grande at Colony yesterday and had Lunch #6, soft meat taco and just rice, but for two people with drinks and a tip, it's $25.
Culvers ate there six times or so when they opened. I was not impressed with the burgers, what's the big deal. What I did really enjoy was the shrimp dinner. Six shrimp with good sauce, really good cole slaw (which is nice) and good fries all for about $8.
I eat lunch out everyday but Sunday, so can't always have a great sit down meal. I also like Outback, their 6 ounce lunch sirloin meal for $12.99 is nice. Want something different, do you like Catalina dressing, order the salad with Tangy Tomato Dressing. It's their own and they even sell it for $5 to take home. Be careful, it's hot.
I also enjoy McAlisters Deli at Brownwood, my favorite is the French Dip. It's sliced roast beef (not rare) with melted cheese on a toasted bun. We've been going every Monday for 3 or 4 years since they opened. Last week we went and the line was out the door. October is a big change in TV. They also have the best potato salad around.
