The one single best fast food item is:

[J_Dee]

Hardee's bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit.

Aside from Wendy's spicy chicken nuggets, it's the only fast food I eat, but I eat it pretty often. If they offered it all day I'd be likely dead by Christmas.

The Taco Bell Cantina Chicken Bowl

 

[Ron Mehico]

Back in HS Ron: Mexican pizza from Taco Bell

Young Adult Ron: Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Wendy’s

Middle Age Ron: Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Chic Fil A

This is a hard question. For me, I have to go Big Mac.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

The Taco Bell Cantina Chicken Bowl

Damn! Looks relatively healthy too. I will try this soon.

 

[BC_Wader]

Culvers double butter burger with cheese, bacon, onions, pickles and mayo. Best fast food burger on the planet.

I agree Culver's is excellent.

 

[funKYcat75]

Freddy's burger. Smashed and better than Steak and Shake.

 

[HymanKaplan]

McDonald's sausage biscuit

 

[kybloo92]

Double Meat Whataburger. Miss them when I lived in Texas. Hope one opens up in Kentucky.

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Cheesy Gordita Crunch.

- Hardee's has the breakfast biscuit title. Hands down.

- 15 years ago, Spicy Chicken sandwich from Wendy’s in a walk. They’ve shrunk it and taken so much of the heat out I doubt it even cracks the top 10. Right now it’s probably the Spicy chicken from CfA.

- Not the best, but my annual White Castle run never disappoints.

Lot of good answers here, but they are also items you can get at a number of other places, that are only slightly different in how they are made. But you're just not going to find a CGC or a CWS anywhere else.. and they are near perfect.

 

[UK82]

30-40 years ago I would have said White Castle.

 

[Kooky Kats]

McDonald’s Coke.

 

[M4CAT]

Classic cheeseburger from Shake Shack. Who cares if how many signature burgers fast food joints have. Them shits are good.

 

[cricket3]

Completely off the grid answer but Lee’s potato wedges.

Anytime I have people over to watch games or cook out I grab a few boxes of them and everyone always asks how they’re made because they’re so good.

Lee’s isn't given the respect it deserves. Great fast food joint

Frisco from Hardee's is a good 6am sandwich.

 

[wildcatadam6]

That spicy pimento honey chicken sandwich at Chick fil A was the best fastfood item I’ve ever eaten. Hope they bring it back.

 

[Dncmaxwell]

I’d say that KFC sandwich where the bread was substituted for two pieces of fried chicken….but I never actually tried it. Just gets my vote on principle….

 

[WayneDougan]

Amen brother. The Big Mac is the greatest food item in the history of the world. Perfection. You ever get a double Big Mac (4 all beef patties)? Not as good. The balance of the OG Big Mac was a gift from the gods.

 

[PhDcat2018]

McDonald’s Coke.

That and popeye's spicy chicken sandwich.

 

[gobigbluebell]

For me, it’s the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, “Wow, three for free!” and the nice friendly McDonald’s worker laughed and said, “I’m going to call you 3-for-free!”.

Now the staff greets me with “hey it’s 3-for-free!” and ALWAYS give me three packets. It’s such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald’s restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I’m in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it’s delicious! What a great restaurant.

I’ve eaten it and it was as good as advertised. Whomever decided to use fried chicken for bread was a genius and I’m assuming morbidly obese.

McDonald’s Spicy McNuggets

It’s a shame they aren’t a permanent menu feature

I got one of those this morning and it's awesome.

 

[MegaBlue05]

Dairy Queen biscuits and gravy.

Best limited time item was Popeyes’ chicken waffle tenders.

 

[megablue]

White Castle breakfast sliders

Once upon a time you could get the mcdouble dressed like a big mac and they didn't charge extra. That was when they were still a dollar. It was glorious

The best burger they ever had was the Mc DLT. Hot side hot and cold side cold. The majority of the fast food industry has sucked for a bit now. I only frequent those that has quality and doesn't skimp on portion sizes. It's why I only go to chic fil a or culvers. Nowhere else because the quality is garbage compared to what it once was.

 

[Trollsensor]

Since Covid, all fast food sucks. The quality, price, and service are terrible.

I can get one of those, a beefy 5 layer burrito, cheesy potatoes, and a drink for 5.99 when I use the taco bell online app. Amazing deal.

I'll be dead sooner for it but I do enjoy taco bell some.

 

[WayneDougan]

You are correct on price, but quality and service are dependent on the location you go to. I am very selective on the McDonald’s I frequent.

 

[JDHoss]

I rarely eat fast food, but for me, it's a tie between Culver's fish sammidge and Popeye's spicy chicken sammidge, with any of the Wawa breakfast paninis nipping at their heels for the top spot.
