“I know Hardee's in New Ulm MN has had some issues, but I went there today and was more than impressed! there were at least four people working there and they were so friendly and the food came really fast. it was fresh and hot and delicious! I can't wait to go there again, it looks like they have really pulled it together!”

“Only took stars off of atmosphere because, hey, its just a fast food restaurant. But the food is always delicious (and right, don't remember ever getting the wrong order, unlike some other places in town) and the staff is super nice and always seems to want to do a good job.”

“After a long day of medical appointments with my mom, just wanted a quick dinner and relax. Went through Arby's drive through, ordered dinner for 3, got food and drove to Mom's. Sorting food, when we got there, realized we only had part of our order. Drove back to Arby's, went inside with food and receipt in hand and told the Manager what had happened. He apologized, remade all the food and gave us 2 complimentary meals. That is customer service! one of the sandwiches was the new beer cheese and beef. It was sooo good. Thank you Arby's for great food and spectacular customer service!”

“Took my family here after church for lunch and some ice cream. Great experience. Food taste good and ice cream was wonderful. Got the strawberry angel cake blizzard amd they put strawberries in there. The other DQ I went to in south Minneapolis didnt do that which is surprising. Anyways, would definitely come back here for a bite and some desserts!”

“Went this morning and was met with the happiest, most charming face at the window Culver's could ever ask for. My puppy appreciated his attention to 'pup cup' detail. I hope he feels as appreciated as we felt to be served by him.”

“Great night for Culver’s. Speedy service and not much of a line. Food was great as usual no issues with my order. The dogs approved of their pup cups. Somehow only one onion ring was in the bag when I made it home so that’s a mystery for next time”

“Gracie which works there does an amazing job on anything I order! Always greets you with a smile and fun to talk to!!! Tonight while she was making the sandwiches for the people inline ahead of me in the store she was working on the mobile orders at the same time. Blew my mind how fast and accurate she was working. I told her I want my protein bowl and she remember exactly what I wanted on it. Came out perfect!!! Keep up the good work!”

She was very kind and made our visit very pleasant. The food was fresh and delicious too. Thank you for a good experience!”

“My wife and I typically stop here for hot fudge sundaes after an afternoon walk. Seems counter-intuitive to have ice cream after burning calories. But when you're nearly 70, anything is fair game. Reasonably priced treat. But could use more fudge and a whipped topping.”

“I don’t think I’ve been to many Subway locations where the employee behind the counter is genuinely in a good mood and happy to help, but this location definitely deserves some recognition. I stopped in on September 12th around 8:00 PM, and the younger gentleman working behind the counter was extremely friendly, professional, and did an awesome job making my sandwich. It’s refreshing to have someone who actually enjoys their job and provides great customer service. I just wanted to give this location and that employee a shout-out. Subway, you’ve got a good one working here! Thanks for the great service!”

“I’ll start by saying this Chipotle location has only been open for a couple of weeks, and you could definitely tell there were still some people training and learning the ropes. That being said, I thought they did an excellent job. The process was smooth and quick, and everyone seemed to be working together really well, especially considering they’re a brand-new staff. And let’s talk about the burritos. 😂 They were FULL. Like, how on earth are you going to fold that thing? full. Honestly, I think properly folding an overstuffed Chipotle burrito is a feat in itself, and these guys somehow pulled it off. If my burrito is difficult to close because you gave me too much food, I consider that a pretty good problem to have. We decided to sit outside because when Minnesota hands you one of the last beautiful days of the year, you take it. The only real negative was that all of the outdoor tables were dirty. There were also a couple of dirty tables inside. Normally I would knock a place a little more for that, but I’m giving them some grace here. They’re brand new, people are training, and they were busy trying to keep everything moving. Plus, I have a hard time putting all of that on the restaurant. Somewhere along the way, some people apparently forgot the very complicated concept of picking up after themselves. 🤦♀️ A restaurant can clean tables, but customers can also manage to get their own garbage into a garbage can. We can all dream. Overall, I had a really good first experience at the new Chipotle on Lake Drive. The staff was friendly, the line moved quickly, the portions were generous, and considering how new the location is, I thought they were doing a great job. I’ll absolutely be back. 🌯”

“First time coming here (drive-through). I ordered on the app minutes before pulling up, and the worker was ultra polite and informative about the food prep. It caught me off guard, as you don't see that type of service anymore. I would gladly come back if this is the regular service they provide.”

“Definitely one of the better burger joints around. Here's the deal: The food is made to order, so expect a slight delay. Once it arrives, though, you'll realize it is all worth the wait!! I walked in tonight, ordered, and dined in with less than an hour before closing. Yes, it's fair to expect subpar food and service when a place is about to close, but Culver's did not disappoint. The burger was spot on, the fries were HOT!, and the service was to notch. These other places need to follow this model.”

“One of my favorite McDonald's! close to my house and the staff is always really amazing, very friendly and work super hard! And that new hot honey butter biscuit always hits the spot in the morning. (Anybody who doesn't like spicy I don't really think it's spicy at all but it has great flavor I'm really amazing on the biscuit). I love to pair that with my classic iced caramel coffee which I customize by adding one shot of espresso and an additional shot of the syrup and caramel drizzle... Literally what dreams are made of and they get it right every time! So delicioous and, what a great way to start a morning with; people who put a smile on your face!”
Baja Blast fans can breathe easy. Taco Bell and PepsiCo have renewed their partnership for another 11 years, keeping Pepsi in Taco Bell fountains through 2036. They announced the deal Oct. 22, one week after sister chain KFC said it would drop Pepsi for Coca-Cola in the U.S. after 40 years. Both chains belong to Yum Brands, like two siblings from the same house cheering for rival teams.
Yum Brands agreed in June to sell Pizza Hut. That leaves KFC, the Habit Burger & Grill and one chain that supplies 43% of the company's operating profit. Taco Bell's same-store sales rose 7% in the second quarter against 3% growth across Yum, and system sales at the chain climbed 9% while Pizza Hut slipped 2%. Digital orders reached 47% of the mix. CEO Chris Turner said Taco Bell "entered Q3 in its strongest position ever" and told investors the company would move ahead as a "more focused organization positioned to accelerate growth."
KFC will open a restaurant in Texas this summer that its U.S. president describes as the chain ten years from now. The prototype, called Open House, lands in McKinney, a Dallas suburb near parent company Yum Brands' Plano headquarters. Guests can order at a table, in the drive-thru or for takeout. The menu pairs new items with signature ones "packaged in a new way."
It seems that now QSR chains have to plan around two calendars. One belongs to holidays, with brands like Krispy Kreme and Del Taco preparing red-white-and-blue launches for America's 250th birthday. The other follows the algorithm, which publishes no schedule.
Feeding a crowd is one job most people would happily hand off, and Church's Texas Chicken wants to take it. The fried chicken chain just launched Church's Catering, a program that delivers its menu in group-friendly formats for everything from office lunches to family reunions.
