Down here in the south we have our own little late night gem, no drive thru but kinda fast service with all the bad stuff for you to eat that tastes wonderful.

Nothing quite like the Aweful Waffle.Haven't eatin there in yrs since I used to pull graveyard shift in a local machine shop.It was that and Jack in the box.Only two places open at 3 am.Occasionally I'll stop by Chick-fil-A.I always end up wanting to eat there when they're closed though.Other than that nowhere else really has anything good that I like.I'd much rather go to a dinner/mom and pop kinda place.Got a local place called Pig'n'vittels that has the best barbecue.
 
Maybe once a week I'll pop in to In-N-Out but that's about it. I've pretty much given up on fast food these days. Not that I actually eat any healthier than anyone else, but I do prefer to cook at home these days. Arby's used to be a weekly stop as well, but the last time I was there I got sick to my stomach, so no more.

Amy's Kitchen, which makes organic vegetarian frozen foods, recently opened a restaurant with a drive thru in town (Rohnert Park), which is right down the street from IN-N-Out. I wouldn't call it fast, I hear that it takes forever to get through the drive thru, but I find it interesting that there's a healthy alternative to the other fast food joints around town, and there are a lot of them in town (2 burger kings, 2 McDonalds, 2 Taco Bells, Jack in the Box, Carl's Jr, Arby's, In-N-Out).
If you're talking about the Arbys I'm thinking of in Santa Rosa, f*** that place. Went there once and spent the rest of the day on the john.

The Carl's Jr. in Montgomery Village was a favorite though. I went to Montgomery High, and an after school tradition for me and my friends was to go down and get super stoned in the creek next to the CJ's and then trundle on up and buy as much fries as we could afford, which usually wasn't much after paying for the previous activity.

Good times.
 
The King lives in a castle! Oh yeah!!

Miss these little buggers badly....

Carl's Jr. is about the only place I frequent anymore - my daughter plays travel softball, so we tend to eat a bit during long drives home. Imho, it's the only chain where the quality is consistent regardless of the location, and there's always some special where we can fill up for less than ten bucks.

Lately, though, subs from Jersey Mike's are displacing burgers.

I didn't know they had an Arby's in Santa Rosa, now I know to avoid it. I was talking about the one in Rohnert Park, across from Pep Boys. It used to be decent, but the last time I was there I got my old favorite, the beef 'n cheddar, and regretted it.

And I know that Carl's Jr. very well, I used to work at Round Table in Montgomery Village in the early 90's and lived on Yulupa so it was a regular stop.

I will very occasionally have Wendy's chili on a baked potato, since it's actually good food from a fast food place! Okay, and I'll sheepishly admit that A&W's breakfast is pretty great, and so are their burgers, but I still rarely have them though.

I like Lions Choice. Roast beef sandwich place here in STL.

I don't go to Chik-Fil-A. Not because I don't like their food or because of their political beliefs, but because I can't stand listening to the patrons pat themselves on the back for eating there. It's like listening to a Prius owner talk about his car and how it's saving the world.

I just realized how much I miss Round Table Pizza. And Mary's Pizza. And screw "tex-mex," I could so go for a Jaliscos carne asada super burrito right now!

But the Arbys I'd eaten at was over by the Wendy's off the 101 like you were heading out to Windsor. Granted I haven't lived there for 5 or so years and when I ate the was probably around 10 years ago, but even after I moved to Texas and ate at an Arbys here, I had the same result. Never again.
