Most common fast food restaurants in your area?

Sat Apr 19, 2008 5:36 am

The most common fast food restaurants here are McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, Cafe de Coral, Maxims MX and Fairwood. There are only 2 Burger Kings, one in the Peak Tower and another in the airport. What common fast food restaurants do you have in your area?

McDonalds, by a long shot.
"Hesburger" comes in second, and other than that ...I'm not sure, really.

I haven't been paying attention to what's happening in the glorious world of fast food lately. :(

The most common fast food restaurants in my area are McDonalds, Pizza Hut, KFC and Burger King in that order.

That being said there is a place in Central London (IIRC it's near the Oxford Circus underground station) that literatly has 2 Burger Kings opposite each other in the same road.

McDonalds, Burger King, KFC. If this includes not-so-well-known chain fast food places, then Sam's would be second.

Do the Damnable Coffee shops count?
Not even decent ones, they're coffee shops for people who like to think they are better than everyone else and look out into the rain soaked street with the look of contempt I associate with my worst moments of Depression and Misanthropy.

Otherwise, there are two Mcdonalds in Chesterfield, which outnumbers everything else.

Exactly! There are 10 - I kid you not - coffee / cafe / patisserie types on my high street. Honestly, what's the difference between one cuppa and the next? Sheesh.

Sam's? What is that? o_O

Also, Dominoes Pizza is not that popular in HK. I remember seeing one in Kwun Tong a long time ago but I am not sure if it is now gone.

The Town where I live pretty much amounts to a High street and a market street.
We have, lesse... Five coffee shops on the High street that I am immediately aware of, and that's not including the Cafe's and such (You can probably double the number to include those) and this is bearing in mind that I am pretty much blind to everything but the Woolworths, the Waterstones and the Game stores.


Oh wait, We have four Gregg's Bakers in the Town centre for some reason.

The ones I don't go to are the most common :D

There are by far more Dunkin' Donuts than anything else, because I'm in a college town. Gotta be able to have a cup of your favorite crappy coffee any time, day or night. I'll still with the local mom and pop joints that have the actual roasting machine onsite and make their own bagels from scratch.

McDonald's, Sonic, Wendy's, Burger King, KFC, Popeye's

McD's has a way of cheating....there's one in nearly every Walmart as well as the stand alones...

McDonalds and Taco Bell mostly, but there are a few Burger Kings too. There are also a lot of Subways and Quiznos, but that's not really fast food.

There aren't many Wendy's or Carl's Juniors. Also, we have NO Sonics (but we still have commercials for it). At least we have In-N-Out Burgers <3.

Oh, and there are TONS of Starbucks, and Jamba Juices but they don't really count.

Pizza Hut and Hells Pizza are probably the most prolific, followed by McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, and Subway.
