Carls Jr Never Will I Eat There Again Rather Go to Islands

Y'all know what people on the internet love arguing about? Everything. And fast-food restaurants autumn under the umbrella of everything.

Sadly, there should exist no arguments near the following rankings. It and then happens my opinions are all 100% accurate, and so this list should be accurately received as the gospel truth, not simply one man'south excruciatingly well-informed take on fast-food chains.

For an earlier draft of this post, I tried ranking the Wikipedia'due south listing of the largest U.S.-based fast-food bondage, but the Wikipedia for some reason includes things like Starbucks, Baskin-Robbins and Applebee's on there, and none seems a proper fast-nutrient chain.

Luckily, all my takes are correct and perfect, so I tin define what does and does not constitute a fast-food restaurant on my own with no aid from Wikipedia, even if it is pretty much the pinnacle of human achievement. A fast-food place is hither defined every bit annihilation I declare a fast-food place, excluding those that serve mostly coffee or dessert, plus chains similar Waffle House, Chipotle and 5 Guys, which are skilful but don't feel like they should count. Pizza chains you might find in the airport get in, but convenience stores that serve food, similar Wawa, Stewart'due south, Sheetz and Allsup's — a personal favorite — are excluded.

Here we become. From last to first, starting with the list'southward simply tie:

58 (tie). Subway

58 (tie). Blimpie

Fast-nutrient hero sandwiches are generally bad. Only of the 59 fast-nutrient places listed hither, Subway and Blimpie agree a special distinction: Unless I was extremely, extremely hungry, if someone offered me a complimentary Subway or Blimpie sandwich, I would turn information technology downwardly and find literally annihilation else to eat. I'd even rather have godawful chain pizza from places similar…

57. Pizza Hut

That correct there is Pizza Hut'due south newest pizza gimmick, the "Ultimate Cheesy Chaff Pizza," the latest in a growing history of ridiculous pizza ideas Pizza Hut obviously believes are more than marketable than just making better pizza. 1 time, after 3 weeks in China eating just Chinese food, I got homesick enough to go to a Pizza Hut in Beijing. It tasted just like Pizza Hut everywhere else: Bad.

56. Taco John's

Only once. Never once again.

55. Quizno's

The nicest thing 1 could say about Quizno'due south is that it'south slightly better than Subway.

54. Little Caesar's

Chain pizza, like chain hero sandwiches, is almost never proficient.

53. Domino's

If Domino's is the best choice for pizza where you lot live, move.

52. Skyline Chili

(Skyline Chili)

Many people mistakenly believe that all Cincinnati-style chili is bad, and that's merely non the case. Proficient Cincinnati chili is pretty proficient, simply those whose simply exposure to Porkopolis' signature compact-sauce-type-stuff comes at Skyline believe the whole genre is gross.

51. Taco Time

Meh.

fifty. Arthur Treacher's

One of my uncles used to work at Arthur Treacher's, so nosotros had a plastic Arthur Treacher'south tray in my business firm growing upward long before I ever sampled the chain's signature fish and fries. It has been in decline since international tension over fishing territories betwixt England and Iceland collection upwardly cod prices in the 1970s in a dispute I but learned nearly that was patently known as "the Cod Wars."

49. Papa John'south

No politics: Papa John's makes slightly better chain pizza than Domino'southward and Pizza Hut, but really just because they requite you that garlic sauce for dipping.

48. Burger Male monarch

The worst of the major national burger bondage, Burger Male monarch might country even lower on this list if information technology didn't occasionally stumble its way into a halfway palatable chicken sandwich.

47. Long John Silver'due south

I don't really like fish, but I practise like pirates and hushpuppies. I really take to stop writing trivial blurbs for all of these or this stupid exercise volition accept forever.

46. Jersey Mike's

45. Sbarro

All-time concatenation pizza? An ignominious distinction.

44. Panda Express

43. Arby'due south

They've got the "meats."

42. Krystal

A total knockoff of White Castle. That 1 on the cease of Bourbon St. in New Orleans is, at times, literally the saddest place in the world.

41. McDonald's

To infringe a baseball term, McDonald'due south is basically replacement-level food. It'south inexpensive, it'south widely available and it's not totally horrible, but with a little scrap of leg work you should always be able to observe something meliorate. I suspect the internet and the proliferation of smartphones will ultimately doom McDonald's, empire though it may be, as more people understand that just opening your phone and searching "best thing to eat in (whatever town)" almost always leads to something better than McDonald's. Yous're still going to crave Craven McNuggets every so often, though.

40. Jimmy John's

39. Pita Pit

38. Sonic

Once upon a fourth dimension, when Sonic advertised constantly merely existed nowhere near where I lived, my roommate and I drove from Washington, D.C. to N Carolina but to attempt Sonic. The menu is magnificent but the nutrient is always kind of disappointing. That trip was salvaged by all the fireworks and peanuts we bought along the way.

37. A&W

https://www.instagram.com/p/BbKYPZplGRE/?hl=en&taken-past=awrestaurants

From this bespeak forth on the list, every restaurant is someplace I'd be fairly psyched to eat at, either for the novelty or the proven deliciousness of the food or for the existence of at least one card item atypical to fast-nutrient restaurants. I'll take a root-beer bladder whenever.

36. Dairy Queen

35. Steak N' Shake

Not terrible, but so wildly overrated. I blame David Letterman, but he has earned the right to overrate fast-food restaurants.

34. Nathan's

Some of the best hot dogs in the game, and a couple of the Nathan's locations on Long Island where I grew upwards get bonus points for having arcades.

33. Yoshinoya

Totally different than everything else on here, and pretty good.

32. Jack In The Box

Total disclosure: I starred as "American Backpacker No. i" in a Jack In The Box commercial in 2000. I vernacularized the line, "Nosotros're jonesin' for something different." The advertising starts at the 12-second mark in the video here because an intern at my erstwhile job struggled to upload it from VHS:

31. Cheeburger Cheeburger

30. Wendy'southward

The just major burger chain that gets bacon right. Why is salary and then hard for every other fast-food burger chain? Information technology'due south salary, for crying out loud.

29. Fatburger

28. Church'south Chicken

27. White Castle

My dad fostered in me a love of fast nutrient, and I fearfulness ranking White Castle this low volition get me disowned, because my dad loves White Castle so much. Truth is, White Castle ranks an piece of cake No. 1 on this list anytime you lot want White Castle, and probably somewhere far below No. 29 anytime you don't. Some other truthful story: My tardily grandmother, while in her 80s, ane fourth dimension asked my dad if the White Castle in her boondocks was notwithstanding open and if he could have her in that location. He did, and the next week when he excitedly asked her if she wanted to go back, she said, "I think that's the blazon of thing you desire only in one case every 40 years." Even grandma got the Crave sometimes. Information technology's a real thing.

26. KFC

25. Checkers/Rally'south

The bottom known version of the Carls Jr/Hardees thing, Checkers and Rally's are the exact same place with the same graphics and aforementioned menus and aforementioned setups and everything more or less identical except the names on their signs. No affair what information technology's called, the fries are especially adept.

24. Portillo'southward

Chicago'southward city-wide deplorable and pocket-size-time anti-ketchup stance in regards to hot dogs is not held confronting Portillo'southward here, since Portillo's does make ketchup available and their Italian beef sandwiches are good.

23. Del Taco

22. El Pollo Loco

21. Roy Rogers

A personal favorite, and not just because (fun fact!) I read my first words inside a long-gone Roy Rogers in my hometown. On the East Declension, Roy'southward are at present mostly limited to roadside residuum stops, only there are still a bunch of freestanding ones in Western Maryland and Virginia. The roast beefiness and fried chicken draw the most attention, only their burgers are good, too. Also, the Fixins Bar — though perhaps hygienically questionable — should exist at every fast-food place.

xx. Popeye's

Very good fast-food fried craven, great fast-food biscuits.

xix. Maoz

The only fully vegetarian place on this list, Maoz only has a handful of locations. But I'll ride or die with their falafel. If y'all've never had falafel, you lot actually oughta try some falafel. I was once skeptical, too.

18. Hardees/Carl'south Jr.

17. Chefette

Yous have to be in Barbados to enjoy Chefette, but if yous happen to be in Barbados — which is generally a pretty awesome place to be — you should probably check out Chefette. The menu is a bit overwhelming to a newcomer, but the broasted chicken is legit. Also, unrelated, simply you're going to want to sample Barbados' yellow hot sauce. Information technology could exist the next sriracha if the condiment companies get their acts together and start listening to me nigh expanding their global hot-sauce offerings.

sixteen. Biscuitville

Exactly what it sounds like: A beige-driven breakfast and tiffin chain, generally found in the Carolinas. They offer a fried-steak biscuit, which is my jam.

15. Raising Cane's

Raising Cane'southward only serves chicken fingers and a couple of sides, but the craven fingers are groovy and the lack of selection makes for an entirely stress-gratis ordering process.

xiv. Whataburger

I was a Whataburger naysayer until I institute out that many locations are open 24 hours a twenty-four hours and later enjoyed a salary cheeseburger at three:55 a.chiliad. post-obit the Astros' ten-inning win in Game v of the World Series in Houston. Now I'chiliad a proud convert. Give thanks you for providing me that burger at that hr, Whataburger.

xiii. Freddy'south

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZzASX-AhtH/?hl=en&taken-past=freddysusa

A 15-twelvemonth-old Kansas-based concatenation slowly spreading out through the country, Freddy's serves good burgers, good frozen custard, and arguably the all-time french fries in all of fast food.

12. Golden Krust

It'southward just a matter of time before the Jamaican beef patty gets its day in the sun. It'south a perfect savory pastry: Flaky and buttery on the outside, meaty and spicy and moist on the inside. Nosotros need more nationwide admission to good Jamaican patties, or at least another incarnation of meat cooked within pastry, similar empanadas.

eleven. Chick-Fil-A

No disrespect, but it's endlessly frustrating that Chick-Fil-A closes on Dominicus, and while traveling for work, information technology is oftentimes only when I arrive at a airtight Chick-Fil-A that I realize it's Sunday. Their chicken biscuits might exist the superlative fast-food breakfast item in the world.

ten. Zaxby'south

Delicious fried chicken available throughout the south, where they don't mess around with their fried chicken.

9. Taco Bong

Easily the all-time of the major national fast-food chains, and not just because they one time made me president for a day. Inexpensive, consistent, delicious. A stalwart pillar of the fast-food game. The Bulky Nacho Loaded Griller in the Instagram above, by the way, is quietly one the very all-time Taco Bell things. Every food should have Crunchy Red Strips.

eight. In-N-Out

Overrated past some and underrated by others, the divisive W Coast chain scores points for reliability and affordability. You're basically paying McDonald's prices for burgers that are way, mode amend than that.

7. Culver's

Remind me again why we all aren't buttering burgers.

6. Bojangles'

Male monarch amidst traditional fast-food fried chicken joints.

5. Good Times

You're a dope online, and you're going to get mad at me considering y'all got all the way to the meridian of this list simply to find some fast-food places you've never even heard of before. And — SPOILER ALERT — you're only going to get angrier as you proceed through the Top 5. Merely I'chiliad here to spread cognition, non kowtow to the whims of the crowd, and I'grand here to tell you that Proficient Times — a Colorado-based chain with simply 38 locations — makes some of the best fast food I've ever had in my life. Maybe information technology was something about the thin air, or the long and spectacular drive through the Rocky Mountains that preceded my about contempo visit, merely I've been scheming to get dorsum to Good Times since I last ate there in 2005.

4. Cook Out

Fact: Everyone who has e'er been to Melt Out will spend the rest of his or her life raving about Melt Out. Char-grilled burgers legitimately taste similar something served at a cookout. Information technology'south not but a clever name.

three. Bonchon

https://www.instagram.com/p/BbDGj0AnwTo/?hl=en&taken-by=bonchonchicken

How do you ameliorate upon fried chicken? Flim-flam question, suckers! In that location's nothing amend than fried chicken. But one specially delicious version of fried chicken comes from Bonchon, a growing South Korean which chips it up extra crispy then coats it in ane of 2 tasty sauces. The batter is always crunchy, the meat is always moist and fresh, and the food is ever incredible. Information technology's only in x states now, but it'due south coming to yours soon, nigh certainly. Bonchon will prove an inexorable force for amazing fried chicken.

ii. Burgerville

This Pacific Northwest concatenation seems defended to irresolute the whole game. Where other fast-nutrient chains seem content to take a vaguely healthy food like potatoes and fry them upwardly so they're bad for you lot, Burgerville will fry upwards things like asparagus and sweet potatoes that, treated otherwise, might exist genuinely good for yous. Hell, they have seasonal specialty shakes based on contempo berry harvests. They put brie cheese on burgers! That's how you dunk all over In-N-Out.

1. Milkshake Shack

Given the constant lines and semi-long wait times, it may be a stretch to even phone call Shake Shack fast nutrient, but it is this author's considered belief that the simple, straightforward, and utterly fabulous Shackburger has and will go along to meliorate the global standards for fast-food cheeseburgers. Straight upwards, I don't retrieve there's any way I get to bask this bacon cheeseburger if Shake Shack never came along. Shake Shack knockoffs — Simulated Shacks, if you will — are popping upward all over the place at present, and the main thing they all share is an accent on beefiness quality. It's a good thing. And though some of Shake Shack's more recent offerings have been striking-or-miss, their special spicy chicken sandwich is an excellent substitute if for some reason yous're not in the mood for a burger, and information technology'due south the simply place that has plant a way to serve me a portobello mushroom I enjoy — by stuffing it with cheese and frying information technology. The crinkle-cut chips are overrated and their cursory foray into hand-cutting, thin chips was an upgrade they should've continued, simply the burgers are just so, so extraordinarily good for annihilation even close to the realm of fast food.
