Millions devour fast food daily. Dare I say we all do it? Well, at least the majority of us who aren’t health nuts.
According to USA Today, these top-ranking fast food chains are not only considered the most delicious, but they also have the art of delivering our scrumptious meals in mere minutes (usually).
This all said, I’m sure you’re expecting Chick-fil-A to be number one. However, that’s one of the surprises in this list. While it often lands in the number one spot, it didn’t this time. It didn’t even make the second slot.

Del Taco
Yum, congratulations on your #1. It’s all about Mexican food, obviously, but if everyone is in the mood for Mexican food but you’re not, don’t worry. The chain also has burgers and fries, as well as a dedicated vegan and vegetarian menu.
KFC
It’s finger-lickin’ good food, namely the chicken, which is #2. We’re clearly all about those 11 herbs and spices, with some 25,000 locations around the world.
Chick-fil-A
At #3, their classic chicken sandwich has been the most-ordered menu item at Chick-fil-A for at least two years running, according to USA Today. It’s also known for its efficient drive-thru experience.
In-N-Out Burger
Yum! I’m so glad to see this one on the list, coming in at #4. This iconic, mainly western states chain never freezes anything as everything is fresh, always, including the meat. It’s almost always someone’s “have to try” list when visiting California.
Hardee’s
Here we go with #5 that’s simply become a staple where people always get a good, hearty meal.
Captain D’s
#5 is all about seafood. This is one I’ve never heard of but it’s nice to see fast food seafood made the list (I think). I’m guessing it’s pricier than most fast-food chains because it’s seafood? Anyway, apparently, they don’t just serve fried everything but have grilled salmon and blackened tilapia along with popular southern sides like okra.
Taco Bell
Mexican reigns again, this time at #6. Another popular go-to, especially for those late-night cravings.
Popeye’s
Chicken is clearly continuing to have a moment, as it is number four on the list. This Cajun-style fast food comes in at #7. It’s New Orleans-style everything, including homemade buttermilk biscuits (I’m salivating), mac and cheese, Cajun fries, and red beans and rice. They even have Cajun gravy for their mashed potatoes.
Zaxby’s
These guys are all about chicken, too. This is the other chain I’ve personally never heard of, with almost all of its 960+ locations in the Midwest and South.
Arby’s
Rounding out your top 10 is this restaurant known for its sandwiches, especially roast beef and other deli-style sandwiches. It also has burgers and chicken sandwiches.
