Seen this over on the larger subreddits and figured this would be an interesting topic here.
I'm cognisant of rule 2 so will post my own thoughts as a separate comment rather than here.
AskReddit clone: What is that one restaurant everyone loves that is actually pretty average?

Nandos is pretty mediocre though and yet a lot of people swear by it. Really doesn't do anything for the meme that Britain has rubbish food.
It's basically fast food. It's cheap (relative to a proper good restaurant) and the food comes quick. I think the quality and price is decent for fast food.
I don't think Nandos is anywhere near cheap enough to be value for money fast food.
Where is?
A meal at Nandos is about £15. This doesn't include a drink, drinks are £4 but they are bottomless, so £19 for a meal.
A large meal at McDonalds is about £8. A large meal at Burger King is about £11. A large meal from Popeyes is about £9. A KFC box meal is £10. All of these include drinks
A burger and fries from Five guys is £17. A drink is a bottle for £3, so £20 total.
People, rightly, point out Five Guys is nice, but very expensive for burger and chips. Nandos is just £1 behind Five Guys, and double the price of actual value fast food.
