Lion’s Choice is an easy pick. The workers are always nice, the food is reliable and there’s lots of options on the menu. In my opinion, Lion’s Choice might be the best restaurant our of all these. Even if it is a longer wait than other places, it’s well worth it in the end. They keep their sandwiches straightforward; just meat and bread. Not to mention, they have the best and cheapest ice ...

Lemonade, a chicken sandwich and waffle fries. My favorite part about Chick-fil-A is how they keep it simple. You know from the second you get your food how amazing it will be solely based on the glorious smell wafting from your bag.

I’m not the biggest fan of McDonalds. Their ice cream machine is always broken and the Sprite is way too zesty for my taste, but to each their own. One good thing about McDonald’s is their variety and cheap prices. Not to mention the 1 dollar  slushies that always  hit the spot. Pricing: Average compared to other fast-food restaurants, $4 for a burger. 8/10 Drive time: Seven minutes. 4/1...
