Survey reveals favorite fast-food restaurants
Check out this Nation’s Restaurant News story headlined “Chick-fil-A, Five Guys tops in QSR study” revealing the results of a survey of 3,000 consumers nationwide regarding their favorite quick-service restaurants.
Here are two excerpts from the NRN story:
When the more than 3,000 consumers surveyed were asked to name characteristics of restaurants they liked most, Chick-fil-A and Five Guys finished with the most and second-most citations of friendliness and cleanliness. Chick-fil-A also had the most citations for accommodating children, and Five Guys tied with Chipotle for highest quality of food.
Keeping in mind that the results were adjusted for market size, the story adds this:
Market Force also released figures for the survey in which market size was not taken into account. By that measure, Chick-fil-A still did well, tying quick-service giant McDonald’s with 11 percent of all votes. Taco Bell was third with 7 percent of all votes, followed by Panera Bread and Subway with 6 percent and a four-way tie among Burger King, Chipotle, Arby’s and Five Guys with 4 percent.
Five Guys is new to the Dayton area, and just opened its second location in Beavercreek just this week. The other three highly rated chains — Chick-fil-A, Chipotle and Panera — have multiple locations in southwest and west-central Ohio.
I’m less familiar with Chick-fil-A than I am the other three chains. What’s your take on these consumer survey results?

I agree, Chick-fil-a is the best. Unfortunately, there are none here in Vegas. But, I’m coming home for Christmas and there will be chicken sandwiches, sliders and five ways in my future!

I think Chipotle might actually be crack. Once I start craving it, nothing else will really do.

My favorites are Chik-fil-A and Panera. I look for these when traveling as well. I had Five Guys in FL; good for a quick meal.
