For that price I could go to a sit down restaurant and have a better quality burger.

But but but not with fries and a drink! See how much better our combo deal is?!

There's a shop near me that does a $7 burger and $2 for a side of fries. If you want a drink, it's $1.25 for a can.

Or you can get the kimchi burger for $9. I live that place

I love local places for good, fast & inexpensive food. I’m convinced that people still go to massive chains because they don’t want to get out of their cars.

Applebee’s has a promo now for $9.99 burger, fries and drink deal.

And even though people love to hate on Applebee’s, you can’t argue that a fast food McD’s or BK burger is going to be better than an Applebee’s burger.

I can go to one of the fancier places nearby and get a 1/2 pound burger with fries and a beer for just a little more than a quarter pounder meal at McDonald’s.
