I find Wendy’s and BK are less consistent than McDonald’s. McDonald’s isn’t the best but I can stop at one anywhere in the US on a road trip and receive the same quality. The Wendy’s near me is fantastic, the BK is awful - but I have encountered the reverse while traveling.
As far as McDonald’s pricing, I think they’re trying to drive everyone to the app. The have good deals in the app and if you’re not using those deals I feel like you’re choosing to pay 20% to 100% more. The also are realizing people who refuse to install restaurant apps have dropped off their spending because of the inflated regular prices, so they’re finally putting a few “value” options back on their menus, starting just this month.
