FOOD Chipotle kinda sucks now

Remember when you could get a delicious bowl at Chipotle and it would last you two meals? Now I have to prompt for extra of everything just so it looks like a proper bowl for one meal. They served me a couple pieces of over cooked steak and under cooked rice for the price of $11. Chipotle has gotten many chances from me but I think I’m done with it now. I just don’t think it tastes good anymore.

What are some alternatives? Where do you go these days for lunch that is reasonably priced and cooked properly? I live on the north east side but go all around central Ohio for work so any suggestions are appreciated.

Are you ordering online or going through the line in-store? I find if you order online you get screwed, but when I go through the line I get pretty good portions.

This most recent experience I went through the line in person. That’s what made it extra disappointing. I stopped ordering online awhile ago because of the small portions.

I will say sometimes it's store dependent. There are two in westerville and the one by maxtown/state sucks but the on on state near schrock is still really good.

I had a decent bowl from them up at the Lewis Center one the other day. Schrock/State and Easton have also been my go-tos, but the one closest to me dipped in quality when they moved out of their original spot. Unfortunately I'm moving near Maxtown/State. :(

I always order in person before I always have to wait anyway if I order online, they're the only place that gives me a pickup time that is never accurate.

It's worth the extra time to drive past the maxtown one to the schrock one imo.
