I was going to a local place until they shut down out of nowhere that had basically the same thing as a drive thru, but for foot traffic (you could go inside, or you could go to the side of the building and order from a window at the sidewalk). I could imagine even in a fully walkable city that you can't drive in would have "walk thrus."
One of my favorite fast-food joints when I visited the states was Checkers. It was only walk-through and looked horrible to work in (Shed-sized building but one kitchen), but I liked the concept. It was easy to wander up, order food, chill, then maybe wander off somewhere else.
Without any cars to access or even reliably park (??), it was relaxing. A small slice of walker's paradise where all of the scenery catered to our eyes instead of condensed seating areas surrounded by idling cars.
There's a small local burger chain by me which does this. They have a small hut for their restaurant, no inside seating. Drive-thru is on the right and walk-thru is on the left.
