I have never found another chicken finger I liked. I ordered mine with ranch and buffalo sauce on the side. Yum yum! Wish Foosactly's would expand. I'd definitely drive to Huntsville for that chicken goodness.

Matt, you are so much fun! I worked at Taco Casa for several years; it is still my favorite Mexy fast food; so much so that even living in Georgia I make it over to the Homewood store every time I visit my dad! What you had was Beefy Nachos, but I think you might have like the Messe Nachos more. Yes, you do get them wrapped up like party leavings, but they are made with the Casa's own recipe chili and cheese (optional jalapenos) and mmmmmm, so tasty. The burritos (beef or beef and bean; none of that rice-on-a-burrito mess) and sanchos (beef with lettuce; wayyy better than it sounds) are also strong contenders. One of the greatest things about the Casa was the ownership, because they made you feel like part of their family. Thank you for including it in your countdown!

[@Ecto_42]

As someone who’s worked at Jack’s I personally recommend the Double Cheeseburger over the Big Jack any day of the week. Breakfast-wise I’m a Breakfast Deluxe person, and I always get the ham or the bacon. You already get the biscuit and gravy, as well as more meat, the eggs, and grits. Don’t drink the regular coffee though, get iced if you’re not lactose intolerant.
