One of the best values on their menu and one of the nicest. Probably costs more than a quarter pounder to make, and costs less. And it was my girlfriend’s favorite sandwich. You can’t get a combo there for less than six bucks any more. First the fried apple pies, now this. Screw you, Ronald, I’ll be over at your direct competitor where they still have a sandwich with tomatoes on it that won’t set you back almost eight bucks for a combo. :mad::mad::mad:
Damn, I actually like the Big N’ Tasty. 
Was this their Whopper?
When’d they do this? I was at the airport a couple of days ago, and was going to order one, but didn’t see it on the menu. Let me tell you, the only time it seems reasonable to spend $7 on a terrible sandwich from a fast food restaurant is when you’re at an airport, where you’d otherwise spend $15 on a terrible non fast food sandwich. Hell, I had two drinks at the airport bar, and somehow I ended up paying those people $25. Anyway, I was mildly irritated that the Big N Tasty was nowhere to be found since that’s the best sandwich there, and was cursing the airport for their incomplete menu at the time. Maybe McD’s should have been the subject of my ire.
It disappeared around here (Minnesota) in October it seems (and it was my go-to sandwich choice). They have their Angus burgers, which are way too salty for me, so I’ve started going to Hardees for my once-a-week treat.
I guess I never saw the big difference between this and a quarter pounder…both were just burgers with lettuce, onion, and cheese, right? And once you added in the Angus 1/3 pounder, they basically had three nearly identical burgers.
The Quarter Pounder doesn’t have lettuce.
The Quarter Pounder has cheese, ketchup, mustard, onion, and pickle.
The Big n’ Tasty has the same patty, but with cheese, ketchup, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and pickle.
The Angus Deluxe has the same ingredients as the Big N’ Tasty, but with the bigger patty.
I called it T’ Big Nasty on Twitter recently. I don’t really like it, but I have been known to order one if I’m really, really hungry and drunk.
It doesn’t really taste like real meat to me, more like meat-flavored… something. A lot of artificial flavoring, or maybe I’m just imagining?
The only good things at McDonalds is still the breakfasts and buying a bunch of little cheeseburgers and a milk shake.
The Big 'n Tasty was the only actual hamburger on McDonald’s menu (except for their original tiny burger, which is too small and thin to cook properly and is always dried out). I noticed it was gone a few weeks ago. Now they have all these things with that yellow petroleum byproduct vomited onto it.
You do realized you can get all the burgers without cheese right?
I agree that the meat is nasty, and breakfast is what Mcd’s is good for. Although the child in me occasionally craves a SugarBurger, aka Big Mac, I find that craving is usually much better satisfied by a Big Carl.
I thought it was good but would really like to see the return of the Arch Delux.
Uh, I’ll ask again. Was this their Whopper? I’m trying to remember it. I know they made their own Whopper at one point, but was this it?
It was, in the sense that it had the exact same ingredients. They’ve come out with a lot of similar sandwiches over the years, like the McDLT and the McLean Deluxe. The Angus Deluxe is really the current incarnation.
I haven’t been to McDonalds for a few weeks. There is one a half-mile from my house. I think I’ll take a walk to see if Green Bay is sans Big 'N Tasty. And if they don’t have it, liberate a newspaper from the rack and run 
The burger I really miss is Hardee’s Big and Tasty (pre Carls, of course) and the fat fries Hardees used to have.
The Big N’ Tasty to me always tasted like salt.
That could be one of the reasons I liked them. I love a bit of the salty taste.
Carl’s just ruined Hardees. They used to be my favorite fast food spot. Carl’s bought them and they became Bleeech. Now they have improved just enough to be Meh.
Theoretically, sure. In practice, this has about a 33% success rate at the best locations. You can modify the other toppings with abandon all the live-long day, but deep in their heart of hearts, Micky D’s knows that you want cheese, dammit.
Why should I pay for cheese if I don’t want it?
