By no mean am I ranking all of these, I’ve never heard of half of these and a lot of these I would not consider fast food. But by saying that, I would like to clarify what I claim is fast food: I say if there is not a drive thru window, it is not a fast food restaurant. I am not going to rank all of the restaurants, but I will do 15. Enjoy and feel free to let me know what you think of my list.
- 1. Coming in at number one, I am giving it to Chick Fil A, I don’t think there is any comparison to Chick Fil A when it comes to fast food, their quality of food, service, and prices are second to none. The rewards system they have is excellent.
- 2. I have to go with Raising Canes. Raising Canes gets bashed a lot for the size of their menu but the stuff they do have is up there with the best of them. Their chicken quality is very good, the fries when fresh are excellent, the bread they offer is incredible, and Canes sauce is by far the best sauce any restaurant offers.
- 3. At number 3, I have to go with Whataburger. You either love it or hate it and there is no in between. Whataburger is solid and there really is no debating it. Of the fast food restaurants with a drive thru they have the best burger. I love the spicy ketchup, and the cinnamon rolls in the morning always seem to hit.
- 4. In and Out burger in my opinion is a close second to Whataburger, the burgers are good and with the closest one being in Dallas I would not complain about getting one. It would be nice to see In and Out and Whataburger make its way north into Arkansas.
- 5. Next I would have to say Zazbys. Zazbys is usually somewhat slept on and overlooked. Their chicken always hits, the fries are usually average and will usually have way too much seasoning, the toast is good when fresh, and the zazs sauce is solid.
- 6. Popeyes is next, I think Popeyes chicken sandwich brought them back to relevance. While they’re not getting the attention they got when they released the sandwich, the quality sides they have and types of chicken they offer, they deserve more attention. But they do not deserve the attention the restaurants above get.
- 7. Coming in at 7 I am going with Taco Bell, now of all of these restaurants on the list, if you’re not eating this after midnight and are not in the mood for this, you might as well send it to the bottom of this list. However, if you are eating it after midnight and are in the mood for it, you really can’t go wrong with it.
- 8. At number 8, this will come as a surprise to a lot of people. I am going with Arbys. Arbys curly fries are by far the best fries any of these restaurants offer. I am not sure if I’ve ever been to Arbys dine in or in the drive thru and ever seen a line. When Arbys is fresh, it hits. I get the French dipper or the ham melts. I think a lot of people sleep on Arbys because they are unsure what to get.
- 9. At number 9 I am going with Wendys, Wendys is solid sometimes but a lot of times it is also gross, none of their sauces they offer are good but I always find myself going there getting the 4 for 4 or the 2 for $5. The frostys are solid but the fries are usually soggy, the burgers seem like they’re a good idea at first but always let me down.
- 10. At 10 I am going with Sonic. Sonic’s food is trash. The corn dogs and tater tots are alright and sometimes so is the popcorn chicken. The only reason they’re still open is the ice cream and drinks.
- 11. Subway is my 11th best fast food place. I think Subway is alright, its hard to pick subway over a lot of those places and I always seem to be hungry not long after I eat it.
- 12. At 12 I am going with Mcdonalds. Mcdonalds is as busy as it is because of their brand. The fries are good and the quarter pounders aren’t bad. Every so often I will crave Mcdonalds and every time I get it my stomach hurts and I get let down.
- 13. At 13 I am going with Little Caesars. It is hard for me to consider other places fast food except for little ceasers. Their pizza is nasty, its cheap, and its a tiny selection but I find myself going back only because of the convince of it being Hot and Ready.
- 14. At 14 I am going with Dairy Queen, the burgers are well below average, the fries are decent, the only thing they have going for them is the ice cream.
- 15. At 15 look no further than Burger King. I’ll be honest Burger King is trash. I would really like to know why the creator of this list has them as high as he does. It is trash in every aspect.
Wow, this is quite the list. I was not expecting some of these fast food chains. I like Whataburger. Have you ever been to Braums? It’s another great chain in Texas and it has fast food and Ice cream. It’s kinda like sonic but infinitely better.

Maybe it’s me, but zaxabys and DQ could switch spots lol. Good ranks though.

I’m so happy that you like Canes! It is by far my favorite chicken, but so many people don’t consider it. Their sauce is amazing.

I probably eat at Wendy’s the most out of all the places on this list. It’s just something cheap.

In N Out is my #1 by far

I’m a late night Taco bell run kind of guy. But I think 7th is fair with solid restaurants beating it out.
