...and the lines for the drive thru were bonkers long... so of course, I had to go check it out not remembering that my 22-year old stomach was a little stronger than my 40-something year old stomach.

I went once... it just wasn't good anymore... and I used to love some WC.

It’s pretty easily the worst food I’ve ever paid for. And I would go hungry and miss a meal rather than eating it again. I’d turn it down if it was free.

Generally, it's based on a lack of better options, and that's about it... prices are obscene now, so why go?

the tacos are where it's at, though.

just know that they're not real tacos. it's taco meat, hot sauce, cheese they put on the burgers, and some lettuce (to make it healthy) all deep fried. they're an abomination, but they're delicious.

curly fries are decent, too.
