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 sense a conflict of interests 😁

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.

Popeyes hands down

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

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

Does Pizza Hut count? Because they got me as a kid with those free personal pan pizzas if 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 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

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'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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Taco Bell, still waiting for the double chalupa to make the rounds again though…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not sure they qualify as fast food per se, but I love Firehouse or Jersey Mike's!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Tim Horton's sausage Farmer's breakfast wrap.

Popeyes, Chick-Fil-A, Burger King.

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

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.

Syrian falafel, pad Thai, a good thin Italian crust pizza

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

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?

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.

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

In n out, chick fil a, wendys, and mcdonalds

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.

Wendy's 🤤

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.

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.

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

In and out animal style. The fries leave something to be desired but the burgers are exceptional for their price.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
