QFT. Started in Baton Rouge by some LSU students right? They are springing up all over northern Louisiana. Their sauce is amazing! Also Johnny's Pizza.

I know the midwest had Braums, and I dunno how widespread Dairy Queen is.

In Texas and I think parts of the southeast there are Taco Cabana and Taco Bueno, and in Texas specifically is a burger chain called Whataburger.

Taco Bueno is awesome for your fast food mexican cravings

Whataburgers do not exist in the "east" much, although I wish they did. We have many Arbys in the east....still a few Little Ceasars left, and we have Jack in the Box locations at least in the Clt area.

Did you seriously just say you miss CiCi's? My lord, that place is HORRID. $5 for a full pizza buffet of the nastiest, strangest, crap giving pizza i've ever had. I've gone twice, thought the first time was a fluke, ugh, i was wrong, NASTY>

There is a chain called Martin's that is mainly known for breakfast (really awesome steak biscuits btw). I think they only have restaurants in the SE.

Martins has darn good chili dogs too. ;Drool;

For awesome biscuits, Biscuitville, but it's only in NC and VA. Like Martins, it's only open a little past lunch, which sucks 🙁

My friends that worked there in high school called it "Feces Pizza."
It's easily some of the worst pizza ever, but for some reason it's always busy. 😕

Oh, and Whataburger FTW!
Probably my favorite "fast" food.
