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.
Popeyes, Chick-Fil-A, Burger King.
I love Pita Gyros and Burek. I'm from the balkans :D
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.
Does Dim Sum count? It should count. They usually premake them and then store in those steam racks/cabinets, ready to serve.
Nothing beats Siu Mai imo
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.
Gonna have to go with Cookout personally. Very cheap and tastes good for the price!
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.
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.
Chick fil A, I love their chicken strips and the Chick fil A sauce.
Wendy's jr bacon cheeseburger, no mayo, add ketchup, add mustard.
Tim Horton's sausage Farmer's breakfast wrap.
In and out animal style. The fries leave something to be desired but the burgers are exceptional for their price.
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.
Depends on whether I'm feeling cheap or not!
Cheap:
Burger King Chicken Jr.
McDonald's Hot and Spicy or McDouble
Jack in the Box Tacos or Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger
Not:
Big Mac
Chick-Fil-A
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.
In n out, chick fil a, wendys, and mcdonalds
