CiCi’s Pizza is a buffet-style chain restaurant that offers pizza, pasta, AND chicken wings… usually, when a place has that many “specialties,” you know at least one of them will be a bit off.
In Cici’s case, none of the options are practically good. So, honestly, you can just pass on altogether and check out what there is to eat up the street.
Shake Shack
While we don’t think Shake Shake is terrible, but we do have a problem with the high reputation. It’s truly overrated and doesn't justify the 45-minute wait at its Madison Square Park location in NYC.
The burgers are fine, but that's it. fine. And don't get us started on the size of the burgers. That absolutely does not justify the long wait in line.
Smashburger
One of the most over-hyped burger joints on our radar. Smashburger may advertise trendy burgers with avocado and truffles that make for colorful Instagram posts, but they're mediocre at best.
They try to market some of their food items as healthy, but they are usually far from it. So, don't ditch your diet and try to live off of these if you're watching your figure. You might as well be eating a MacDonald's burger with a few more topping options.
Dunkin’ Donuts
like many of the other fast-food chains on our list, Dunkin’ Donuts has increased its prices over the years, and to be fair,it hase made a few positive improvements to its menu as far as the quality is concerned. Nonetheless, Dunkin' Donuts really needs to slow its roll.
In recent years, they've tried rebranding themselves and are now just "Dunkin'” as opposed to “Dunkin’ Donuts.” but they're still as basic as they've always been and don't stand out among any local niche donut shop.
Raising Cane’s
When was the last time you came across a fast food restaurant that exclusively sold chicken strips? I know, right?! Raising Cane’s has become one of the fastest-growing fast-food chains in the country thanks to their unique concept. BUT that's not to say that they don't have a couple of major problems. Visitors often complain about their slow service.
...so much for "fast food." Another major problem customers complain about is that the wings preparation isn't consistent, so the taste changes from location to location. You have to know where to go if you want the good ones.
