Chick-fil-A, long known for its strong sales and high customer satisfaction, has been dethroned as the best fast food chain in the 10Best USA Today's latest Readers’ Choice Awards.

Del Taco, a regional Mexican chain popular in the West, has claimed the top spot. This is a significant leap for Del Taco, as it wasn't even in the top 10 in 2023.

The chain offers a variety of options, including burgers, fries, tacos, burritos, and a dedicated vegan and vegetarian menu. Though Del Taco is not available in North Carolina, there are a few locations in Georgia.

Chick-fil-A, which was the top pick in 2023, now holds the third spot in the rankings.

The top 10 fast food chains according to the 2024 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards are:

1. Del Taco
2. KFC
3. Chick-fil-A
4. In-N-Out Burger
5. Hardee’s
6. Captain D’s
7. Taco Bell
8. Popeyes
9. Zaxby’s
10. Arby’s

Sadly, there isn’t a Del Taco in North Carolina right now, but we hope that changes soon. We miss Del Taco and hope it comes to North Carolina!
