Javi Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 That has to be what they're doing. You can't possibly say the place was lacking for business. I've seen cars stacked six deep at the drive thru even late at night.I think I agree with this. That building was woefully old. Seems that this is the trend lately with some of the fast food joints in the East End.McDs, Burger King, Whataburger on Harrisburg all had older buildings torn down in place of newer ones.

Vertigo58 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Now is the chance for any of these chains to build an extra large facility. Many fast foods on the West Coast build 2 story eateries like McDonald's & Taco Bell. It can be done here. Cant you see this on Telephone Road/Dumble?

totheskies Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 yeah, it BETTER have free wifi... fast food restaurants are running out of excuses to stay open without it. Ooh, a 24hr wifi lounge would be sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 yeah, it BETTER have free wifi... fast food restaurants are running out of excuses to stay open without it. Ooh, a 24hr wifi lounge would be sweet Well, unfortunately, this new one is hardly any different than the old one. However, its great that the managers are on the ball as far as making sure the staff is professional. Hope it lasts. Maybe my wearing a suit when I walked in created the stir? I any case, its Ok and still an improvement. Lets hope the Burger King @ 45/Wayside is as great as the other new ones with Internet room, etc.? Cross fingers.

travelguy_73 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Anyone like the chic new logo? My GF, who's a Graphic Designer, hates it...lol I like the retro look to it, but the Jack is, ummm, a bit too prominent. I am curious what she finds offensive about it...being in the trade, she probably has some definite reasons that the average Joe misses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I like the retro look to the logo, but the old clown I grew up with is missing. I don't like that newer weird clown on a human body. Do they still make secret sauce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way they are forced to make them fresh instead of giving me the ready made salmonella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried them once, and it may as well have been oily cat food in the tortilla. It was disgusting.This is Houston. We have taco trucks that prepare tasty pockets of greasy goodness using identifiable cuts of meat, no less. Use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they still make secret sauce? There is a new one being built in newer Pasadena with same new logo. It doesnt have "punch". and yes, that human body with round ball head has become trite & mundane. It has run its course, latest ads have him or "it" in a coma in a hospital, pretty tasteless advertising. Just very unfunny. Why is he married to a human looking woman, etc? Scary. What do the neighbors say? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
