I love KFC, when me and my family are poor(and still are) i would go and eat KFC like almost every single week and it was cheap here + Delicious aswell. I loved KFC Fries the Most, it was so delicious. If i had enough money, i would buy enough of KFC and be a fat man in the week LMAO

So what fast food do you love?

Taco Bell is the best by far!
The cheesy bean and rice burritos are great, potato soft tacos too.
Any meat can be substituted for beans making it super vegetarian friendly.

I have issues with dairy now and Taco Bell is the saddest place on earth for me. My wife will always want it and I miss the cheese so much.

Hands down disagree. Taco Bell is only the best until you've had Taco John's. Potato Oles are so good...and you can get churros.

Went there this week and they have shrimp mango tacos.

But Taco John's is regional, so a lot of us will never try them.

A lot of the responses here are chains that are regional. Harvey's (Canada), Xaxby's and A&W just to mention a few.

I've had both as well and I prefer Taco Bell. But potato olés are really good. Their burritos are pretty good.

I've had issues with Taco Bell for a long time. Bones, bottle caps in my burrito or taco. Pretty great when I occasionally go to pick up stuff for the kids and the smell of dank permeates from the drive-thru window.

Not that I have a problem with someone smoking weed...just that it usually impacts the quality of the food received.

Shredded chicken burrito was the best thing ever

Honestly? Mcdonalds. They're (reasonably) cheap, pretty consistent, and still decent enough that I think "Yeah, I didn't mind spending two bucks on that."

Like it's not the best food ever or anything, but if I ever want a super quick breakfast or kinda crappy burger and don't feel like making one myself, then I just hit up the nearest Mcdonalds.

I'll fight someone who tells me I shouldn't have McDonald's breakfast burritos. I don't eat them because I want a good breakfast burrito, I eat them because I want those specific breakfast burritos.

EXACTLY! Like, man, if I wanted a good breakfast sandwich, I'd make it myself or hit up one of the local places. But I don't want a good one, I want a McDonalds one.

I cant get out of McDonalds for less than 10 bucks, and that’s skipping the drink and using app deals

Between my teens and early 20s, I worked there 3 times. I left on good terms to focus on other areas of life and they were always happy to have me back. I still love McDonalds as a treat! My go-to's are cheeseburgers or Big Mac's.

I love the blueberry pomegranate smoothie, the new chicken wraps are pretty delicious too

The McDonalds app is the most useful of all fast food options. My husband and I use the 2-for-1 breakfast sandwich deal on the Steak, Egg, & Cheese Bagel whenever we want to treat ourselves on the weekend. There is nothing else like it. Also, the McDonalds rewards rack up super quickly. Anytime, we need a light meal, I get one or two free sandwiches with reward points. 10/10 recommend. 👍👍

Taco Bell would be my second choice if only because their cravings box scratches the hunger itch so fantastically. 🤤

YEP the mcdonalds app is the second reason i go there; a big-ass coffee on the cheap, which gives me an excuse to get away from the bird-kids when they're being particularly shouty? you bet your bippy im taking that offer

I keep forgetting that damn app exists. I just opened it after forever and there's some pretty decent deals in there even without the rewards.

I'm not a fan of the burgers. In general would rather just not get anything if that's the option. But their fries and breakfast items? The chicken nuggets? Yes. Hands down some of the best. I will fight someone for a McGriddle.

Mcdonalds fries are top tier

I used to like them, but lately I've gravitated to Wendy's fries. It's not even the beef fat/vegetable oil switch that happened back in the 90s??? or whatever, I just think I prefer thicker potato cuts for my fries.

Does Pizza Hut count? Because they got me as a kid with those free personal pan pizzas of you read enough books, so I still love them. It doesn’t hurt that there is a Pizza Hut literally across the street from my apartment now.

Last time I went to little Caesars, there was a girl who walked down from the apartment above, grabbed a pizza, and went back up. I would be SO FAT

I legit have to limit myself. I can only order one pizza per time I’m logged into the webpage. If i open the page and I’m still logged in, I won’t order a pizza. I have to wait until the site logs me out and it prompts me to log in when I open it. Because otherwise…

Man, I completely forgot about the Pizza Hut book club! Getting the little badge and filling everything out with stickers? was the best part of being a kid.

Raising Cane's!!
I turn feral for their chicken.

Bah, literally every chicken finger place is better than Cain's.

Cain's sauce is pretty good, but it needs to be, because the chicken is well prepared but utterly flavorless. It's like if you told a Star Trek replicator to make chicken.

Yeah the chicken is mostly a vehicle for the sauce but the texture and moisture in that chicken is excellent. It is rather bland, though.

Duuuuuude I’m right there with you. Love that sauce.

Hot chicken hot chicken what combo you pickin?

I used to go insane for Canes it's SO GOOD. It's so far away from me now and in a downtown location but I miss them. I used to live within walking distance and ....it was a problem lol. The walk there and back was absolutely not enough to work off even 1 strip.

Arby's. Their reubens are so damn good. Also those limited time burgers they have right now are really good too.

A local food critic once picked Arby's as the best reubens in town. I don't know if they're that good, but they are really damn good.

Jollibee or Wendy's. Wendys burger just has this underlying flavor that I can't find in the other chains. And Jollibee cause fried chicken

The spicy chicken joy is actually spicy unlike Popeyes and kfc “spicy” 🤤

Fast food's become preposterously expensive, so I basically refuse to partake of anything I can make myself.

As a result, Osmow's. Making my own shawarma is outside my ability, so this is the one place I can see myself regularly visiting. God I love shawarma.

I don't think I've ever tried Osmow's, but it's hard to throw a rock here in Ottawa without hitting a shawarma place. The flavours of a shawarma are truly amazing; it's miles ahead of any other fast foodstuff. (provided, of course, you like garlic.)

zaxby's. those tenders tossed in tongue torch sauce and then dipped in ranch hits. the fries aren't too bad either.

Wawa hoagies. My god do I miss them! I wish there was a Wawa near where I live now.

Have to agree with you, KFC fries are absolutely delicious and their chicken sandwich is one of the best. The only other place that can compete with KFC is Popeyes.

Apparently, KFC is quite bad in the USA but in most of SEA it's delicious.

I've recently gone back to Burger King and it seems as though they've improved the quality of their product from a few years ago where eating it would make me sick. Whopper and Onion Rings every once in awhile just absolutely hits the spot

In-N-Out, hands down. I moved out of California years ago, but whenever I come to visit, In-N-Out is always my first meal.

Go ahead and flame me if you want, but I do like me my taco bell. Chipotle and Moes are obviously better but they’re so damn expensive now. I’m sure when my GI tract shits the bed that opinion will change though.

I love a hard taco supreme! Once every few months, I'll get a craving for it. Authentic tacos are delicious and have their place, but so does a greasy, messy Taco Bell taco.

I think Wendy's is always my favorite. They just have more flavor when it comes to burgers and their fries.
McDonald's used to be great burger wise but their nuggets are literally card board flavored.

I live in Canada and I have a real soft spot for Harvey's and A&W. A&W is just a really top-tier burger joint, and Harvey's is a bit like the Subway of burgers (in that they build the burger in front of you with custom ingredients). If I could only eat at one fast food place for the rest of my life, I'd definitely pick Harvey's

Bless Harvey's for Frings. I can never choose between the two so Frings has been amazing ever since I was a kid.

When properly executed, the Burger King original chicken sandwich (aka the long boy) can be superlative. When you get one with relatively fresh lettuce and the right amount of mayo, and when you bite in it's juicy and salty and a little crispy? It's way better than it has any right to be.

However, it's very hit or miss, and a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's is almost always on point.

Not much of a fast food culture over here as there is in the US that I can tell, but I often like some crispy french fries.

I'm not sure where "here" is for you but I've traveled to many countries all over the world and I agree with you. No one does the fast part of fast food like the US. On the flip side though is that every fast food place I've been to outside the US has tasted much better. I remember being blown away at the difference in quality between a tacobell in the States and a tacobell in Spain.

Culver’s! Their chicken tenders are better than raising canes imo

Great choice. Good cheese curds, custard, and "butterburgers," too. And good prices.

I like Wendy's and Subway well enough. I wish there were some decent Canadian options, but unfortunately most Canadian fast food places have gone to shit in the last decades — what's happened to Harvey's since I was a kid is just heartbreaking, and Tim Horton's isn't even Canadian anymore.

A&W is my favorite in Canada. Expensive though, but so is everything including McDonald's these days. McDs isn't too bad. But I the last time I had BK or Tim's were so disappointing I just refuse to eat there at all anymore.

Quesada is pretty good for Mexican, we don't have many Taco Bells around here. I don't know if it counts as fast food though, prices are more in the tier of Thai Express and whatnot.

McDonnalds is still my go to for cheap and fast. You know what your getting and if your savvy you can get a lot of food for low cost. Breakfast menu is actually my prefered time to eat there

100%, I don't really care about their regular food but I like a lot of their breakfast stuff.

Shelby's Shwarma here in Canada. Hits different than Osmows and is a small enough franchise to actually still give a crap. I think they have a dozen locations in Ontario right now.

I really like subway, it's about the only place you can get chipotle sauce in the UK. Used to go there every week.

That said, I haven't bought it in about a year. The prices have gone up to the point where I feel like I'm spending insanely irresponsibly if I'm not buying the absolute cheapest food, and Subway is no exception. The stress of knowing I spent far too much on something far outweighs any enjoyment it might provide.

well, I had a veggie pattie subway sub with all the salad and tomato sauce and sweet chili sauce, and it was awesome.

My go to fast food as well. Toasted and all the veggies on it.
I just wish every Subway carried rhe veggie patty. It's not available every where.

I’ve never known a subway to not have the veggie patty. That sucks. It’s so good

White Castle - The OG 24 hour fast food burger place. Absolutely great flavor, all day breakfast, cheap and delicious. Plus the outside looks like a little castle s'cute

I think my most favorite item is the KFC Zinger, after that comes the Xtra Long Chili Cheese from BK and then the classic Double Cheese Burger from MD.

Toasted ham cheese and tomato sandwich with a sneaky cup of tea for AUD$6 at the local Ampol roadhouse.

Technically it's not all that fast, but the only fast options in this little town are pies and the like.

In Australia the main chains are total garbage. If you want takeout it's better to buy from some local places. What I end up buying consistently is usually fish 'n chips when I'm by the seaside.

Sonic. That shit is so good. I always drop like $25 because there’s so many delicious choices. Poppers, burgers, mozzarella sticks, popcorn chicken. I want to open one of my own, but they require a net worth of 1 million, minimum, to get in the franchise door.

My husband and I love Sonic when we go to the US. We will drive a reasonable distance out of our way to get it and we never regret it.

And I just saw the closest is just under 7 hours from us and 30 minutes from a family friend. We may or may not be half-jokingly planning a road trip for Sonic after 5.5 years since our last taste. Please accept all the credit!

I tried, but I really can’t find any fault in this plan. You should make a photo diary of this quest.

The Sonic up the road from me is literally so slow there was a news segment about it. But the food is so good that we all still go it's wild.

One of Vulcan's favourite fast food chain is Wingstop, this chain is available and well-known in some parts of Indonesia due to its promotions and discounts.

Especially the boneless wings and fries, yummy!

Right now I adore the volcano menu at taco bell.

Day in and out I enjoy the McChicken, filet-o-fish, McNuggets, fries, and most food from Portillos.

But I rarely get most of that stuff unfortunately.

Arbys, by a mile. I've lived abroad for about 2 decades and everytime I'm back gotta get me at least a few classic Roast Beef and a pile of horsey sauce.

As a rule I avoid fast food, and most of it I can't stand. Grew up on White Castle though, and I still love it.

My go-to is an independent place near me that does excellent falafel. They do kebabs and fried chicken too, but that's more so-so.

There's no KFC here. A local chain "Fly Chicken" is similar, except better (IMO) but also more expensive. 13.50€ for 10pcs hot wings. Norway is expensive in general.

McDonalds. I like Five Guys, but it's too expensive. Subway is also good, but I'm not sure that counts as "fast food".

I wouldn't say I love it, but Panda Express is my go-to when I'm hungry and there's one nearby.

Is fast food in America actually cheap or does this come from people who don't know how to cook with cheap ingredients and compare it to microwave dinners and such?

50/50.

Some of the value menu items are good deals, like little sliders or burritos for $1-2. But for the most part, fast food is about as expensive as a "regular" restaurant these days if you actually get like a full meal.

Hardees from before they were bought by CKE (Carl's Jr.).

KFC is the best (as long as Subway doesn't count as Fast Food, certainly doesn't feel like one)

I'd really love to try Taco Bell sometime, but we don't have it here.

Chick fil A, I love their chicken strips and the Chick fil A sauce.

Taco Time, a regional chain, is my all-time favorite. I’m terms of national (US) chains…probably Dairy Queen or Wendy’s? I just like fries and ice cream.

Wendy's jr bacon cheeseburger, no mayo, add ketchup, add mustard.

Gonna have to go with Cookout personally. Very cheap and tastes good for the price!

I love Pita Gyros and Burek. I'm from the balkans :D

I've been lucky enough to live within close range of a Taco John's for several decades of my life. I absolutely love their food, and can't resist a serving of their Potato Olés (dip them in a side of nacho cheese for tasty effect). While I've experienced various levels of "ick" from Taco Bell, I have always had great food from Taco John's.

Our Texas chains a pretty good. Whataburger has been nerfed a bit since a PE firm bought them, b,ut they've still got half a dozen specialty menu items that are really good and regionally tailored.

Taco Bueno is one step up (but probably only one) from Taco Bell, but again, it's about being regionally tailored. It's pure Tex-Mex, with chili con carne available as a sauce, focusing on slightly chunky salsa roja, seasonal tamales, etc.

Aside from ultra-local burger place, it’s Del Taco. I used to be exclusively Taco Bell, but for the past 5 years or so it’s been the reverse. Deal Taco tasted better, better variety and loads their tacos up with more ingredients.

It used to be McDonald in my 20s, but in my thirties I love a good subway sandwich tbh. And no bs either. Simple hearty Italian, ham and cheese, pickles, lettuce, one line of mayo, and jalapeños if you like it spicy. NOT toasted. Simple. Yet so delicious.
