By a wide margin in my town, we have both. DQ rules with the best burgers here.
I like small family run smash burger restaurants. It's still fast food but the one I go to occasionally let me come in to their prep room and they actually grind the fresh meat into mince and make paddies using seasoning and then allow you a choice of freshly baked buns. By far the best burger and fries if I'm in the city and need something quick.
I found DQ to be the closest to home made burgers of Wendys, McDs, BK and DQ. I love their #6 --- 3 patties (1/2lb before cooking), 2 slices of different real cheeses, thick fresh slab of tomato, thick cut onion, lettuce, pickles, mayo ... for $6.40 including state tax and senior(over 60) 10% discount. Unbeatable quality and price. Yes, I love a mom & pop burger but they are scarce, most are greasy, the best place I know of locally is about 50 minutes away. BQ is about 5 minutes away.
Yeah thats a no brainer decision, especially considering the mass inflation, economic collapse and terrible "administration" combing the green new deal, communism and "bidenomics" all into one. It's the epitome of failure and will lead to WW3 and the downfall of the USA, Europe and Canada if that old buffoon has his jewish handlers rig another election and declare another fake pandemic.
Of course antiwaaah and burn loot murder will pop up again too.
I think the DQ's are franchised. The ones around me vary, some are good, some are not and some are hit and miss. Luckily a good one is not too much farther from me than the bad one.
