Depends on the branch for us:-
On the whole we avoid Pizza Hut and use Dominos, strangely Pizza Hut tastes much nicer in some other parts of the world.
Burger King is great when you actually get a proper one and not one of those BK's who warm up all the burgers in the micro (most of them it seems). The fries in the UK are crap though. BK's in Thailand are the best we have had, food always fresh and none of those crappy crispy fries.
KFC again depends on the branch, the main branches (e.g. Central London) can be great with tasty food and a more international menu (e.g. the savoury bicuits, gravy and mash like you find in the US). The cruddy local branches always seem to look dirty even when first open and the chicken tastes greasy and reheated.
Overall Mc'Ds wins for consistency, quality and a much more imaginative menu it seems than the competition. You can't beat a bacon bagel for brekky ;)
Probably the best UK "fast food" though can be found at Pret a Manger.
It's a shame that some of the better foreign chains can't be found in the UK e.g. "In & Out" for the west coast US, Taco Bell, or Fuji Sushi from Thailand.

Give me a proper greasy spoon cafe every time, it might not be fancy but at least it's honest and normally reasonably priced. I still haven't found anywhere on Tyneside that comes close to Ramon's Cafe in Cardiff, that place is amazing, particularly the big breakfast roll (bacon, sausage, egg, black pudding & mushrooms on a big bap, with a plate of chips on the side).

Salt and Peppers on Westgate hill, in amoungst the biker shops does a fantastic full English. Missed many a lecture when I was a student eating off a hangover there.
My fave fast food has to be Pizza Hut pizza if we a talking about food from a chain. Otherwise it is a Kebab meat mizza with chilli and garlic! MMMmmmm smile

KFC - its finger licking good!
Great, now I've got that bloody Fast Food Rockers song going throught my head! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGH!!!!!
Normally Big Mac and fries
But just had a great Chicken Royale on the motorway back from Cardiff
Well I would have normally cast my vote for those wonderful belly busters....whopper xl with cheese....however having just returned from sunday lunch( where the kids voted burger king instead of a sunday roast down the pub) i ain't so sure of my alligence, the food was ok but the service was terrible, why do these fast food joints insist on paying nothing and therefore only finding kids willing to work for the pay ! ?
just has to be kfc
late at night , after a few drinks , and dressed in party wear !!!! redface
also have many have been mentioning american chains i just have to put in a vote for IHOP ( international house of pancakes )........... its worth going just for them yummy

Nah.... got to be an "Extra Large" bacon double cheese wink
:lickface: Pizza Hut yummmmmm with garlic bread
no no @ McD's & Burger King, and I've never been to a KFC :shock:
I can’t choose, I love pizza hut but then again McDonalds have brought out those lovely beget things. Love buger kings spicy bean burgers and I just adore fried chicken.
Ooo I cant choose sad
When I was on the road, the best burgers were served from a mobile stall on the side of the A386, just outside of Tavistock. His burgers could beat KFC, McD's and BK hands down, the best of all is the Capt Jaspers stall on Plymouths Barbican, you get value for money, reasonable service, and congenial company, what more could you ask for.
Sandboy
I nearly forgot, at Captain Jaspers in Plymouth a mug of tea, is only 20p!!!! hows that?
Of the aforementioned establishments, I only ever eat at Pizza Hut. This is only if I feel hungry and there are no alternatives open nearby. I might just eat the salad in preference to the pizza itself, depending on how hungry I am.
I think it was Ben Elton who said something like, "Fast food? Just flush it straight down the toilet - cut out the middle man."
Out of the choices it would have to be Pizza Hut as I love pizza....although not my favourite pizza restaurant (if you can call it a restaurant!)
Hate MDs (thats for the my kids to love)
BK is even worse
and KFC......never been there, but don't think there would be much choice for a veggie like me!

Can't beat a good KFC ... freshly cooked, not when it's starting to dry up!
Love Pizza Hut Super Supreme ... adding anchovies makes it even better.
McD's Fillet O Fish or Big Mac and an apple pie with their strawberry milkshake ... yummy!
Burger King ... it's not flamed grilled anymore and the burgers are hardly ever hot, not even warm sometimes ... dunno what happened but they're crap these days ...
cool
