The Absolute Best Regional Fast Food Chains In Every State

Рет қаралды 540,260

Күн бұрын

When it comes to fast food, there are several chains that are easy to come by, no matter which part of the U.S. you’re in - McDonald’s, Burger King, and Popeye’s can all be found on highway exits across the country. But some fast food chains can only be found in specific parts of America.
Different regions are known for different cuisines, so of course their fast food chains are going to reflect that. The next time you’re traveling through each state, be sure to stop at one of these chains, because there’s no telling when you’ll come across it again. These are the absolute best regional fast food chains in every state.

You should've used Jacks to represent Alabama as they are more popular and according to Google Milo's has only 20 locations which is a massive difference to over 200 Jack's locations and comparing the menu's online Milo's menu is just oversimplified burgers and chicken nuggets. But Jack's actually has traditional Alabama food and a bigger menu with lots of different choices some more simple like a BLT, or more traditional like a Fried Green Tomato sandwich

Portland had a bunch of Herfy’s (a Washington chain, if you’re reading from the non-NW) that all became Arctic Circles. Those lasted a while before they failed. More than one in Idaho that seemed to work well… they don’t miss on much as long as they properly cook their chicken. Also had my first Taco John’s and Boise Fry Co in Portland. Go figure. I think all the Taco John’s are gone, as is the one Boise Fry location.

Pro tip: Avoid the chain chili parlors in the Cincinnati area(Skyline and Gold Star) and seek out one of the local joints (Blue Ash, Camp Washington, Price Hill, Pleasant Ridge).

Wish they'd get on with construction, though, the land has been cleared for over a year now (All that is there is a 'coming soon' sigh and a larger grass field that is becoming overgrown now), and the "coming soon" sign for them and ANOTHER favorite vendor of mine) has actually been fading for almost a year...

Ice Cube wrote a rap about it. It's the go to late night crave? Ohio? Frickers could definitely be up there. Best chicken items, including their wings and chunks. And their blue cheese side is as good as any. Indiana? Steak and Shake. David Letterman had one built right next to the Ed Sullivan Theatre in Manhattan just so he could get his Steakburger fix.

From someone who has grown up in Hawaii, I already knew Zippy's was going to be on the list for us. Most of us have worked there or know people who has worked there. I worked as a cook at one of their locations 10 years ago. Its a good go to for any occassion or to pick up food for parties with trays of different food. Every party that I have gone too as a kid to adult, someone always brings something from Zippy's becauses its on the way 😂

Delaware's Casapulla's Italian w/ Prosciutto is a true work of art....But in the early 2000's cousinc of original owners started their own shops....Judge ruled its a family name and cant be trademarked as such so now its confusing lol....old timers know the original on a side street in Elsmere is tops....That smell of a small old timey Italian market is an experience in itself

Wow I learned something new from my own state. I’m from Washington state but live on the Washington/Oregon border. So according to this Taco time NW is our Washington restaurant. I always noticed that the Oregon taco times and Washington ones were a little different. The Oregon ones are very few and they are always rundown. But the Washington ones always look nicer. I always assumed taco time was from Arizona that’s why not many locations around specially in Oregon but in Washington a lot more location and I just figured the Washington ones were just nicer then Oregon locations but thanks to this video now I know they are different. Now I understand why the Washington ones are nicer looking then the original franchise ones. Every time I go north to Seattle I see taco times all over but not many in Oregon. I’m gonna have to research about this. I’m very curious to know more about these two very similar franchises.

@fridaylong2812 2 жыл бұрын

The ones in Western Wa are all owned by one family. Since they bought the last five Taco Times from Crazy George many years ago , choices, quality and portion sizes have definitely gone downhill, while prices have soared. The last time we went there was at least 10+ years ago, probably 15, we were so disgusted by the missing favorites, the minimized portions, the maximized prices, and the lack of Mexi-fries, we've never gone back..

@PCSPounder Жыл бұрын

I thought Taco Time was an Oregon chain. Two I frequent aren’t run down, one’s pretty good, but yes, it’s gotten a little expensive. I’d have thought Dick’s would rate in Washington, with a 2% chance of Ivar’s. Then again, when they rated Habit over In-N-Out in California, I’m not sure they were wrong, and there might be a theme there.
