America’s Best Fast Food Chains As Ranked By Consumer Reports
There’s just something about fast food: it can really hit the spot when hunger strikes! But have you ever wondered what the general online consensus is for your favorite chains? Well, we’ve got all that information right here, folks. Yes, from “dangerous” sandwiches to swoon-worthy shakes, the following scores and reviews from websites such as Consumer Reports might surprise you.
40. Arby’s
If you’re looking for a meaty treat, then Arby’s could be your first port of call. And the chain definitely has its fans. As one Yelp user gushed, “I just love Arby’s. There’s something about the classic roast beef that is so satisfying.” But broadly speaking, it doesn’t have the highest Consumer Reports rating. As per the organization, fewer than half of its patrons said they’d go back.
39. Krispy Kreme
We don’t know about you, but we’re suddenly craving donuts! Yes, Krispy Kreme is among the most recognizable fast-food chains in the country. And the restaurants have a really solid 3.5 rating on Yelp from over 500 reviews. “[It’s] hands down one of my favorite donut places,” a user said.
38. Hooters
It could be argued that Hooters is best known for two things — the waiting staff and the hot wings. But to say it’s received mixed reviews would be an understatement. On Yelp alone, you’ve got some folks who adore it, while other users such as this person groaned, “[It] literally couldn’t get any worse.”
37. Boston Market
Boston Market might not be the rising star it once was in the fast-food world, yet it’s still satisfying certain customers today. At the start of a five-star Yelp review, one user wrote, “This is the most underrated restaurant! The employees are some of the kindest people I’ve ever come across.” As per Consumer Reports, though, a little over 40 percent of patrons said they’d return for future meals.
