Do you really love fast-food if you don’t have your own tier list of favorites? I know I do. Recently, USA Today released their annual “10Best” series featuring reader-ranked lists on everything from airline credit cards to cider. But among the most anticipated was the top 10 best fast-food restaurants in the United States for 2024. Posted on July 17, the list features both longstanding establishments as well as smaller regional joints. There were some snubs (though I may be biased) like McDonalds and Five Guys not making the list. But the biggest surprise? Chick-fil-A is no longer the head of the roost. In fact, it’s not even number two. Keep reading to see if your favorites are on the list and which fast-food restaurant claimed the top spot this year.

Burger King Employee Caught Using Customer's Credit Card for Food at Former Job

Be it a classic Big Mac or a hearty Quarter Pounder, the core ingredient that these McDonald's burgers can't do without are the ground beef patties. Some of you fast food fans out there might have wondered how McDonald's patties came to be while chomping down on that burger. Well, there aren't dedicated burger-shapers pressing fresh patties from a bucket of ground beef working behind the counter at each McDonald's. To streamline the operation, McDonald's buys all of its ingredients — from the beef patties in the burgers to the coffee it brews — from external vendors.

Brands Feel the Pinch Now, But an Uptick Could Be in the Works. Quick-service restaurant franchises probably shuddered collectively to see that McDonald’s, the granddaddy of them all with 39,000-plus locations, posted a disappointing second quarter. Several other fast-food franchises are closing some locations, with one familiar name apparently on life support. So that prompts the question: Is the fast-food industry growing or declining?

Is the Fast-Food Industry Growing or Declining?

U.S. consumers love them some steak. They certainly kept flocking to chains where beef is the center of the plate in 2023, according to data from the Technomic Top 500 Chain Restaurant Report. Fine-dining steak chains’ sales last year grew 7.8% on average in 2023, even though it was supposedly a down year for the segment. It was only slightly worse (6.5%) for casual-dining steak brands.
