Zarda BBQ is excellent.
Just recently discovered spangles in lawrence.  Pretty good so far.  Need to try more to make an official judgement.




Worst:
Pancho's.  Tastes great when you're drunk.  (meh when sober.)  The problem is the next day when your ass is glued to the toilet for 10 hours straight.

Honorable mention is BK.  Burger buns are always drenched in grease.   :yuck:

It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

Everything they have is just so incomplete.  Burgers imo are awful, always dry, buns are weird, just not a fan.  Gyro is very good though imo, meat has the good "spice" to it.  Shakes? GMAFB awful. Cyclone / Mudslide things are great though.

Breakfast? out of this world.  Orange freeze thing? WTF. Awful.

Don't know about their food but their commercials are possibly the worst I've ever seen. Lawrence commercials in general are f*cking terrible  :'byecruelworld:

Prices are good I admit, but they changed the 2.99 thing to the sucky burger.  Fries are tasty but overall the menu is too big and they don't have one thing that is just "omfg" awesome, ya know?

My freshman year,  I single handedly funded the Kreem kup retirement fund.  May songs of angels sing it to thy rest.

The "PAD" in Topeka is amazing. 

Bucky's in Lawrence is quite good.

Love the Backyard Burger.  Very, very good.  And not just the burgers....the spicy chicken with cole slaw on it is pleasurable.




Tacos are another matter.....very, very tough to find a true drive through that has good tacos.

I'm not sure Bucky's is there anymore.  I think they might have closed down...

Is it still open? At one point it was closed, and had a sign saying that it was for sale on ebay. Seemed like a weird thing to sell on Ebay. :dunno: :dunno:

I love seeing places like that in small towns. Their entire operation revolves around the fact that they have a soft serve ice cream machine.

Who the hell drives through pancho's? The place is open inside 24/7. You can even bring in your beer!

In high school I convinced my buddy to propose to his gf at the cashier counter. All the mexi's thought it was legit and clapped


I think my grandpa killed somebody once, but he never liked to talk about Kent State.

    (worst non-premium poster at ksufans.com)
Starting out a thread about good/bad food by labeling Zarda BBQ as excellent diminishes any real value this thread had, but it's about food so i'll continue w/ it-


First, let me start off with the Contenders
In-N-Out burger
5 guys burgers and fries
Sonic (footlong chili cheese coney, homie)


Now, the Pretenders
Wendys
T Bell
Sonic (everything but footlong chili cheese coney)


Finally, the GTFO of my facers
BK - would rather eat dog crap w/ ranch dressing on it


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.
