It’s insane to see Tropical Smoothie Cafe get a big resurgence. Those were starting to close down in CA around 06 or so, and they were so damn good! It’s great to see them still here :)
Can’t say I agree with Marco’s Pizza being “everywhere in 2023”, at least not in the Phoenix area. There used to be a bunch of them here but they’ve all closed except for one store out in Mesa. There was one right down the street from me but they were trying to compete with a dozen other local pizza joints and given they wanted $22 for a 14” pepperoni pizza it was easy to predict they weren’t going to last long.
Matt Kelley, I was being sarcastic. People have religion, businesses don't. If I want your franchise, I will decide what days we're open; your religion is not my religion.
Only tried WingStop once after our favorite local wing placed closed in the midst of the pandemic. Ordered six wings for the wife, twelve for me plus the blue cheese sauce and fries, came out to 40 bucks! Went in there, the guy at the counter was fixated on his phone, but said it would be ready in a couple of minutes. After a few minutes handed me two bags, and said have a nice day. Got home after a 20 minute drive, opened the bags. Had one big box with 6 wings and a quart bucket of BC Dressing. Needless to say was peeved, 40 bucks for 6 wings. Haven't been back to another WStop, and most of the other places are pretty lacking with dry stringy wings and lackluster fries. Unfortunately it seems the more stores these chains open, it seems the quality ratchets down bit by bit for them all.
I was searching for this. it was awful the last time I went to WS. Expensive and chicken lacked flavor. promised myself to never again eat there. better off cooking my own.
How are all these expansion plans going to work out considering the established names are already having a very tough time keeping staff on hand? Waaay to many places out there already who needs another "fast casual burger" joint at the strip mall... support your local mom & pop restaurant if possible
Agreed these places are where NPCs eat and I hate it. I am not a snob about anything other than what I put in my body. Chain restaurants need to be stopped. Not only that you’re 100% right!!! Where are they going to find the labor!!??
Well the thought is those markerts that they’re in have already cooled and stabilized. In order to spark new growth and interest, you gotta go where you don’t have a presence. That’s what these expansions are for
The key to any of these franchises is management--if the managers hire good people and train and supervise them properly. That is the big post-Covid challenge.
sure we can get burgers in Canada but NOBODY does frozen custard. It just never became a thing here. Can't wait to finally get a place that does it (if it can't be Shake Shack, we'll take Freddy's)
Shake shack is awesome! Had it for the first time in the original Madison square park location back in 2012-2013 and I’ve loved it ever since. The smokeshack is my favorite fast food burger.
Not exaxtly "fast food." Usually think of McDonalds, Wendys, Taco Bell, etc when thinking fast food. Five Guys, Shakeshack, etc usually you have to wait 10-20 mins.
There's a Shake Shack in Schaumburg, IL, and my husband and I ate there once this summer (motivated by other Mashed videos, and it was close to places we were shopping at up there). It was OK, although a bit pricey for fast food. Five Guys is a much easier upscale burger place for us to get to, as it has locations in more of the towns we shop in on the weekends.
Excited to try True Food, never heard of it until now. We have a First Watch in my neighborhood, and eat there often. The best salad ever (customized for vegetarian) , the one with spicy pecan maple dressing is soooo good. Only once was I dissatisfied with the food, was when they got my frittata too "done". Well, their soup isn't hot enough, so I just don't order it anymore. Other than that from more than a dozen visits, I like them. Service is usually decent too.
It’s very good! I hope you get to try it. I have one near me and I only need 1 bus to go to my location. I also never heard of it before they opened it at the mall near me a few years ago.
I live in the south suburbs of Chicago Illinois...we literally have all these places already...glad to see they are growing more of these restaurants 💯😁
Both Jersey Mike's and Jimmy John's have been expanding into smaller towns. Jimmy John's opened a location in the county seat to the S of us about a year ago, and Jersey Mike's opened a location in the county seat to the N of us sometime in the past year. (Both towns have populations of about 10-12K.)
Thats about the size of our town. We have a JJ's, and Firehouse. I would LOVE for Jersey Mikes to come here. Had it a few times in Dallas and I loved it
I miss Jimmy John’s. I don’t know if it’s still there, but there was a location by the university in Reno years ago when I went to UNR and I loved their cookies too, and the option for sprouts in the sandwich.
@@KennieBby I wouldn't know about the UNR location, but Jimmy John's is still very much alive here in the Midwest. I've eaten at Jimmy John's locations in both Indianapolis and the Chicago suburbs within the past 5 years, and a Jimmy John's location opened in our local county seat (Pontiac, IL) just last year (2021).
Eegee’s is expanding now that the company’s original owners sold it. They didn’t want to expand past Tucson but now they’re opening up more places outside of the city.
I honestly didn't even know they existed anymore. The few we had went the way of the dodo, and have never seen another so I just assumed they went out to business.
The Schlotzskys in Dallas were always consistent and great. In Arkansas, not as good. Little differences like the bread not being toasted or being a totally different bread, cookies being different, not having spicy mustard available, etc
Since I can't get a fresh Imos Pizza here in Ft Wayne...I was very happy when a Blaze Pizza opened up on Collseium right down the street from me..I'm even close enough for delivery.
9:28 Popeye's has gone downhill ever since they were bought by Burger King and Tim Horton's (and expanded way too fast under their mismanagement). Expect them to also ruin Firehouse Subs which they unfortunately also bought
Noooooo not Firehouse!!!! That's one of the few good sandwich places here. Our Popeyes is literal garbage tho. My dog won't even touch it. Being owned by BK makes sense though. BK and KFC are the absolute worst fast food places in my town. You are guaranteed to get sick. I though Tim Horton's was run better, but I don't have one anywhere near me.
Actually, Burger King does not OWN Popeyes. Popeyes is part of Restaurant Brands International (RBI), a holding company that also owns Burger King and Tim Hortons.
I don't see how any of them are going to stay in business. It's easily over $20 for a couple to go out to eat. Prices are going to keep going up and we get the same substandard quality and service.
I have a First Watch about 5-7 mins away from where I work. It's been there for probably 2-3 years but I always thought it was a Watch/Jewelry shop and never went there. lol
We had a Freddy's and tried it twice, and both times the burgers were super thin and were like eating a charcoal grill brick and it was expensive too. It closed shortly thereafter. We had high hopes but just didn't have any luck. Maybe other locations are better than ours was.
I work at a Marco's (just temp help bc they lost some employees) and I've only ever seen them here so I thought they were local to Arkansas. lol I was shocked to see them being mentioned first. Freddie's are popping up everywhere here. Jersey Mike's has a few locations but they've been here for a bit. Raising Cane's is the same way. The rest of these I've either never seen except for maybe on trips to Dallas (Blaze Pizza) or we've had them for awhile.
Tropical smoothie is the shit, my brother works there and my other friend has worked there for several years now. Their quesadillas are fire and I love the mango magic with whey added.
There's a Freddy's about 35-minutes away from where I live and I stop there a few times a year. Their burgers are pretty good, the fries are very good, and the frozen custard is excellent ( a lot better than Culver's).
They open all these stores and the real problem is you can't find good people to work there to make the food they start out ok but after awhile the workers don't give a shit and the quality goes down hill evev the managers give up. It's like when al Bundy worked at the burger place and had to say swoosh after awhile the burgers looked like a pile of crap al didn't even wrap the burgers
I live in Texas and there's atleast 2 Freddy's near me. Their burgers are not that great and the fries are like twigs from a tree, definitely overpriced too. That was my first and last time eating there.
There's a Freddy's within walking distance to my home. The food isn't that good and It's overpriced. I rarely see any cars in their parking lot. I'm surprised it hasn't closed down.
Wingstop needs to expand into Rhode Island, I wouldn’t mind one downtown. same in Boston. The only one in the city of Boston is in either East Boston or Hyde Park.
Of the burger chains: In n Out Burger still rules, but The Habit is a close 2nd. I've tried Shake Shack in DFW Airport (overrated), Smashburger in DTW Airport (dry), Five Guys (good), Whataburger (best bacon), Mooyah (good), Red Robin (used to be better), Johnny Rockets (burger was dry), Culver's (good), Freddy's (good), Carl's Jr (frozen beef not good).
I practically live at the one at the mall. They are Awesome. I need to get back to Jersey Mikes since finding they reopened a few miles from me. Had a Cane's at the mall, but it closed during CONvid, and moved down new the 71st Super Target here in Tulsa
I guess some people don't care what they eat or how it tastes, but I do. You can keep Marco's pizza; there are far better pizza places to me. Same goes for Wingstop-not impressed with those either.
Thank you. I currently work here and there are far more authentic-tasting and just better pizzas out there. On top of that, corporate is the worst as they are aggressively pushing out new stores, not listening to current stores’ problems. It has become an extreme problem especially in California as they are pushing deals that the restaurants in California cannot afdord
Marco's is far better than most chain pizza places, period. Of course if you have a local place, that place will likely be far better, but perhaps your taste isn't all that great
The Freddy's in my town closed a few years ago. It was alright when it was here, but I love me some Shake Shack. However, I do enjoy Teriyaki Madness since I don't like driving into the city for Panda Express. Plus Panda Express' customer service kinda sucks at the two locations we have.
Totally great subs but damn they are expensive...I grew up (not lying here) 45 minutes from the first location Pt Pleasant NJ & for years you could get a huge sub for like 8 bucks.. now they are like 15 bucks so I don't go there anymore
A blaze pizza opened by me and failed miserably. It only was opened for about 4 months before it closed. We already had a Mod pizza close by which is literally the same thing. We also have about a million other pizza places as well lol
I tried Freddy's over here in southern California because vloggers names the Hodge twins gave rave reviews about this place so I gave these burgers a try. It was absolutely disappointing as well as pricey. Do not waste your time even trying these burgers.
Which of these chains are you looking forward to seeing more of?
Ur mom
Zero! There are already way to many of them.
And Don't Forget Portillo's Hot Dogs & Italian Beef Subs Coming to Texas... Houston, Dallas, San Antonio. Austin.etc.
I miss blaze and I wish they'd open up in colorado. We have mod pizza which is honestly kinda gross. Especially when comparing the two.
Jersey Mikes

Chick-fil-A is a wonderful place to go for lunch after attending Sunday morning services, and then going to Hobby Lobby for your crafting suppies.

Yeah I wasn’t impressed either. They also are very expensive.
Always skipped them because of this. Way too expensive.
I was searching for this. it was awful the last time I went to WS. Expensive and chicken lacked flavor. promised myself to never again eat there. better off cooking my own.
True Kitchen expansion is great just unfortunate they won’t be located near neighborhoods that could benefit from the healthy menu.

Wow, Freddy's logo is a direct lift from Friendly's
The key to any of these franchises is management--if the managers hire good people and train and supervise them properly. That is the big post-Covid challenge.
Freddys Steakburgers is also expanding to Canada. They have plans to open at least 20 locations in every province excluding Quebec
oh yay that makes me excited! Hopefully one in Ottawa :)

went to the one in Oak Brook...6 of us....big disappointment....extremely expensive for what you get....not even that good..
Five guys doesn’t season their burgers
Five guys is very goo, but it is pretty pricey. Haven't tried Shake Shack yet. We have one here in St. Louis.
Five Guys is not upscale

However, I do enjoy Teriyaki Madness since I don't like driving into the city for Panda Express. Plus Panda Express' customer service kinda sucks at the two locations we have.
I don't get t the Panda Express vs Teriyaki Express compare
Love me some….. what a dumb phrase
Well i guess jersey mikes can open 10k restaurants because they now overcharge for their sandwiches. I make my sandwiches at home
Lol, doubt you can make subs as good as Jersey Mikes...
@@Fools_Requiem overrated. Firehouse is better. 😊
@Bruhama Two different type of subs. You can't compare the two places.
Do my be live the hype jersey Mike's sucks for what they charge
Totally great subs but damn they are expensive...I grew up (not lying here) 45 minutes from the first location Pt Pleasant NJ & for years you could get a huge sub for like 8 bucks.. now they are like 15 bucks so I don't go there anymore
Freddys is rocking it
How is Dave’s hot chicken not mentioned?
A blaze pizza opened by me and failed miserably. It only was opened for about 4 months before it closed. We already had a Mod pizza close by which is literally the same thing. We also have about a million other pizza places as well lol
Happen to live in Southeast Lexington,KY? Literally same thing happened here
I tried Blaze Pizza while visiting Knoxville, TN. Recently and thought it was pretty good. And I'm from the Chicago area, so that's saying something.
@@ryanfrisby7389 no, St. Louis MO
@@cameronr7223 ah lol, seems to be a consistent pattern then
Blaze is awesome tho
The Habit Burger Line Cook used BARE HANDS to place the cold prep ingredients on the burgers 😳
Good. Gloves are vile breading grounds for bacteria. Hand washing is a zillion times better.
I mean, chefs use their bare hands to cook food all the time so that’s not too shocking.
Marcos pizza in vegas is amazing!!!! Did yall 4get how many we got out here???
Yum Brands is where food quality and service go to die so wouldn’t be happy about that
I FINALLY GOT A FREDDY ICE CREAM AND BURGER TOO IN MEMPHIS TENNESSEE TOO MY FRIEND
We have a Marco's here, I don't much care for their pizza.
All these restaurants and no workers.
It has been 13 years and counting for Chick-fil-A to open in South lebanon Ohio. They have the permits for the land but nothing yet.
They’re not as good as the6 used to be
blaze pizza closed all its locations in wisconsin before covid. sad
I tried Freddy's over here in southern California because vloggers names the Hodge twins gave rave reviews about this place so I gave these burgers a try. It was absolutely disappointing as well as pricey. Do not waste your time even trying these burgers.
Culver's is better than Freddy's, but I like both chains.
Hollywood invested in this....yep no thanks!
