Agreed, and their prices are
extremely reasonable. I can get out of there cheaper than I'd get out of McDonald's, and I feel much better about the food I ate.

Qdoba - Best burritos and tacos. I prefer their salsa selections to Chipotle. Again, a very yummy quick bite...
Agreed. Our Qdoba just expanded, and it still has lines running out the door into the parking lot at lunch!

I live in a medium-sized city in Illinois, and for years, people moving in have said that the one restaurant they want is a Sonic. I have a friend who lives in Detroit who told me that, right after their first Sonic opened, the wait was as long as 45 minutes!
We have a local restaurant that opened recently: Meatheads. It's basically just hamburgers, really good, greasy hamburgers. That would be among my favorites, along with Culvers, Potbelly's, Noodles & Co., and Panera.
