it depends where. in the states, McDonalds fries the meat. here in israel, they boil it and imo, it tastes much better. the worst i've ever been to is probably arbys.

The only saving grace is the frosty mug for the root beer (which is usually flat :|).

wow, I am shocked, here in TX all the Arby's are clean and they are probably my FAV fast food. Very strange.

I would say KFC but won't because I don't like fried chicken at all. Burger King and Wendy's are easily my two least favorite burger joints.

What's up with all the Arby's haters? Arby's & horsey sauce FTW!

I can't eat anything from mcdonalds without feeling ill (and it stinks horribly).

It's by far the worst regardless of location (even the one in St.Peteresburg Russia).

call me crazy but I like them all..
I have no qualms with any of them other than the fact that they costs more than cooking :(

I hate McDonalds....used to make me sick every time I ate that crap. I try to stay away from all fast food now days, Im getting pretty old and my digestive system doesnt work like it used to.

Taco Bell or McDonald's are teh most avoided

I enjoy KFC food but seems like the store is always coated with grease, so I slip and slide the whole time.
Burger King is good because they have the best regular fries, flavorful meat, large sandwiches, and reasonable prices.
Arby's is just overpriced. They need to drop their combos by $1 or $2. Good food, but not worth what they charge.

It really must vary from area to area. The Taco Bells around here are super clean and top notch. I love their Nacho Supreme combos- get one once a week. BK is so-so, but I like their chili. McD's screws up my order every time, KFC has problems taking my order (their CC machine is always down, their speaker doesn't work on the drive through, they're out of chicken, etc).

I do not like Chipoltes- it's like Subway for mexican food, and it tastes like something you'd get in a gas station on put in a microwave....for just under $10 :|

I'm not a big KFC fan, it's too greasy. If I want fast food fried chicken I prefer Popeyes. Too bad there aren't any here in Raleigh (well besides the airport, but I don't get there often).

As far as Arby's, I'm not a big fan of their roast beef stuff, but I do like their bacon and swiss chicken sandwich.

My favorite fast food place is starting to be Chick Fil A! We didn't have any in the SF Bay Area when I lived there, so when I moved to NC it was my first time going to one and I love it. Too bad they aren't open Sundays!

McDonalds without a doubt.
I wonder if BK's here in Sweden are better than they are in the US or something, around here they're among the best burgers you're gonna get outside a proper restaurant.

Oh and we don't have Taco Bell, Wendy's, KFC, etc around here, maybe they're even more disgusting than McD :)

Seriously. I mean, yes they are overpriced but it's nothing a coupon can't handle. Here they send out coupons literally every 2 weeks and there are about 5-6 good ones that I actually use. Plus, they print the coupons in spanish on the opposite side so you can use both the english and spanish once each. I get a weird look until I say..."hoe-la?"
