I love subway! The workers are kinda rude subway makes up for it with delicious food.I don't even like sandwiches but I still love subway. Now I know that you're are probably thinking, Chloe, you just said you loved subway but you don't even like sandwiches how is that possible? Because they have the best pizzas there. I like there pizza better than pizza from any pizza place. They have two layers of cheese. One over and one under the Giant deli pepperoni covering the the entire pizza. They bake it really fast so you don't have to wait long. After that the cut in into quarters and then sprinkle parmesan on top. And I don't even have to share it since it's personal size. I'm really craving subway now. Too bad it's 3 in the morning.

McDonald's

McDonald's is an American fast food company, founded in 1940 as a restaurant operated by Richard and Maurice McDonald in San Bernardino, California, United States. They rechristened their business as a hamburger stand.

The first time a McDonald's franchise used the Golden Arches logo was in 1953... read more

I refuse to help a chain that uses such cheap horrible toxic things in the food they call things like "good" or "healthy". Well its not.

Burgers are not bad.
America didn't even invent the burger, where do you think Hamburger came from. The name, there is no ham on it.

How is Subway number one? McDonalds is the best fast food place in the world. It's a thousand times better than Subway.

Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A is an American fast food restaurant chain headquartered in College Park, Georgia. The company specializes in chicken sandwiches and was founded in May 1946.

As of now, Chick-fil-A operates more than 3,000 restaurants primarily across the United States. The restaurant serves breakfast... read more

Chick-fil-A has awesome chicken sandwiches, very good fries, wonderful hand-crafted milkshakes, good lemonade and iced tea, and has a very supplementary breakfast.

Healthier than most fast food options. Plus, their chicken nuggets are better quality than McDonald's.

Chick-fil-A also has amiable employees-something that many fast food restaurants sadly lack.

Taco Bell

Taco Bell is an American chain of fast food restaurants based in Irvine, California, and a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc. The restaurants serve a variety of Tex-Mex foods, including tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, novelty and specialty items, and various value menu offerings. As of 2024, Taco... read more

Not always the best service, but when it comes down to the food, when they don't switch mine with someone else's, it is flippin delicious. Churros are absolutely perfect, tacos are hard and full of flavor, and the sauce flavors are just right for each mood I go through.

Food is prefrozen, not authentic Mexican, and it's just simply very bland, especially the taco meat. There is no flavor because everything is pre-frozen!

Fast food greasy taco I love, food like this can only come from above!

Wendy's

Wendy's is an American international fast food restaurant chain founded by Dave Thomas on November 15, 1969, in Columbus, Ohio. The company relocated its headquarters to Dublin, Ohio, on January 29, 2006. By the end of 2018, Wendy's ranked as the third-largest hamburger fast food chain in the world,... read more

Why did they remove the spicy chicken nuggets though. That's my favorite thing from Wendy's... ;-;

Certainly better than mcdonalds or burger king.

Fresh hot food, great salads. Clean

Burger King

A freshly made Double Double with signature animalstyle fries and to top it off with a refreshing milkshake! This place is amazing one of the perks of living on the west coast!

Five Guys is above this? Wow that's a shame that the people on the east coast can't have the best hamburger on the planet at Inn-n out

I love In-N-Out, the burgers are so good, but I like five guys better since it's less messy.

KFC

KFC, formerly known as Kentucky Fried Chicken until 1991, is a major American fast food restaurant chain that specializes in fried chicken. The company is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. As of December 2015, it operated nearly 20,000 locations in 123 countries and territories, making it the world's... read more

Love it or hate it, KFC has the world famous chicken and you know it. It's so unhealthy but delicious, and it is unique too. KFC chicken + KFC mac n cheese + KFC mashed potatoes = HEAVEN!

Every time I get KFC it always makes me sick, usually leading to persistent vomiting. They literally deep fry it like 3 times!

Why is this lower than Chick Fil A? They think they're a five star restaurant when they are really a 2 1/2. KFC is good.

Dominos Pizza

Domino's Pizza, Inc. is an American pizza restaurant chain that was founded in 1960. The company is headquartered at the Domino's Farms Office Park in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In February 2018, Domino's became the largest pizza seller in the world and in the United States based on global retail sales.

This is an excellent pizza chain. It has changed its crust and menu and is now the best that you can buy. I LOVE DOMINOS

The blizzards are the only thing going for them honestly

How is this on here it is one of the worst food places.

Steak n' Shake

Steak n' Shake have wonderful burgers, a very wide variety of milkshakes, have awesome chili cheese fries, and it's awesome that you can add shots of flavor to your drink. Steak n' Shake and Pilot/Flying J Travel Stops are the only places I know that have flavor shots.

Steak n' Shake is awesome. The best fast food burger joint I have been to.
Maybe a little pricey, but it is definitely worth the wait, because they always take their time cooking their food to perfection.

Pretty good burgers for a fast food chain restaurant.

Pizza Hut

Pizza Hut is an American restaurant chain and international franchise that was founded in 1958 by Dan and Frank Carney in Wichita, Kansas. It is known for its pizza, pasta, and side dishes. The company has thousands of locations worldwide and is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands.

Really? An average American's favorite pizza is always Pizza Hut for whatever reason. If you hold the pizza up by the crust, the rest of the pizza sags down due to the unnecessary amount of grease used to make the pizza. Also the service is really bad.

Everybody is gabbing about Papa Johns and Domino's, but despite the grease, I prefer Pizza Hut hands down. The dough and crust is made and baked perfectly, and I've never had a wrong order, since I am extremely picky (I hate cheese).

Love their pizzas! Their pastas are good too and the restaurant looks warm and welcoming. And who doesn't love pizza!

5 Guys Burgers and Fries

Five Guys Enterprises LLC, doing business as Five Guys Burgers and Fries, is an American fast casual restaurant chain focused on hamburgers, hot dogs, and French fries. It is headquartered in Lorton, Virginia, an unincorporated part of Fairfax County.... read more

If five guys was a fast food chain, it should be everyone's number 1 but it's not fast food

5 guys is amazing! My mom, friend, and I went there a while ago, and let me tell you, IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. they have a wide variety of drinks, have amazing fries, and their burgers are so good I could've died they have the best burgers

In-N-Out is higher now, screw this and other burger restaurants out there!

Panda Express

The best restaurant in the United States. You must be joking. Their rice is crunchy, and their shrimp is dry. Overall this place is horrible

Have this all the time. Not bad at all

Jack In the Box

Jack in the Box is an American fast-food restaurant chain founded February 21, 1951, by Robert O. Peterson in San Diego, California, where it is headquartered. The chain is known for its diverse menu, which includes burgers, tacos, and breakfast items. It operates over 2,200 locations primarily on the... read more

There are no Jack in the Boxes where I live, but I love them when I go on vacation.

Chipotle

Everybody keeps saying that they poop blood every time they eat it. If this is really true, then why do you keep eating it?!

I want to try chipotle so much I don't care if I have to take a 15 minute drive to get here

It's so good, but there's blood coming out from my ass every time I eat some...

Carl's Jr.

Carls Jr is amazing because it's so good on cutting the fat on there burgers and there milkshakes are. Amazing I went there in grande prairie I had Oreo not high on sugar

Sonic

Has good drinks but everything else is mediocre

Culver's

I think it is a midwestern restaurant, it originated in Wisconsin. Its frozen custard will blow you away! Its butterburgers are to die for!

The best burgers I've ever had with amazing custard and delicious cheese curds
I love Culver's!

I am from Wisconsin. Some people from Florida came here, went to a culverts. But ten burgers

Panera

Its headquarters are located in Sunset Hills, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. In the St. Louis area, the company operates under the name Saint Louis Bread Company and... read more

Not fast food, but is really good. I never eat fast food

Panera is not fast food it shouldn't be here

Definitely the healthiest fast food
