I know, I know it's fast food. Sometimes we all have to go for it and we're thankful for that drive-thru when in a rush running here and there throughout the day.

It could be lunch or dinner, I'm not sure if this place serves breakfast. But, it's now one of the fast food restaurants in America, beating Chick-Fil-A, really?
