Here are more of the 10 Biggest Fast Food
SUCCESSES Of All Time. While it’s not easy to deliver the next fast-food star, these
can all be declared winners. In-N-Out Double-Double If you live or have even been on the West
Coast, chances are, you've chosen In-N-Out as your go-to burger joint. Sure, the lines
are usually long, but the wait is oh so worth it. Around since the late 1940s, In-N-Out
has seen a lot of tasty menu items over the years, but nothing ever truly hit the spot
like the famous Double-Double. For those who haven't been lucky enough to try this beauty
yet, let us tell you exactly what you're missing. The Double-Double is pretty darn close to
burger perfection. This burger is double delicious. It consists of two 100% American beef patties,
two slices of cheese, along with the usual burger fixings, all between a freshly baked,
old-fashioned bun. Oh, and let's not forget the special sauce that hasn't changed since
the chain opened. This delicious burger has been on In-n-Out's menu since 1963, originally
costing only 63 cents, and while, of course, the price has gone up, so did the quality. The
Double-Double might seem like a pretty ordinary, undistinguished burger, but don't be fooled by its simplicity.
Sometimes, less is more. Say what you will about the Double Double, but no other burger
joint does doubles quite the same. Culver's Wisconsin Cheese Curds Who doesn't like cheese? I mean, seriously?
Okay, obviously, our lactose intolerant friends are not raising any hands in the air, but
when it comes to cheese in any way, shape, or form, it's pretty amazing - and at Culver's,
you can order the perfect indulgence. The Wisconsin Cheese Curds are the perfect answer
to any "not enough cheese" situation. Known as a "dairyland delicacy," the Wisconsin Cheese
Curds are snackable, bite-sized chunks of cheese, breaded and deep-fried for a warm
buttery crunch. They are made with un-aged yellow and white cheddar cheese sourced locally
from a family-owned dairy farm in Stanley, Wisconsin. Being from the cheese state of
Wisconsin, the curds have a very important reputation to uphold, and they definitely
live up to expectations. According to Culver's, these deep-fried cheese curds are the perfect
addition to make just about any meal better. In fact, they're so loved that Culver's even
created a national holiday to help spread the word about their cheesy goodness. On October
15th of every year, it's National Cheese Curd day, also known by Culver's fans as the cheesiest
day of the year. How many fast-food items do you know that have their very own special
day? That's right, very few. Plus, if you're lucky, some of the curds will stick together,
creating Cheese Curd hearts that you can share with a special someone. Subway Footlong Everybody knows that a good product doesn't
always get to where it is without a little scandal. So, while yes, Subway has been under
fire for some Footlong sandwiches that fell a little short, no one can take away how genius
- and delicious - this whole campaign was. After all, who here still remembers the $5
dollar footlong jingle? That thing was catchy as heck. With so many popular and tasty options
on the menu, it would be practically impossible to just pick one to reign over the others.
You've got the Meatball Marinara, the Italian B.M.T., and even the Sweet Chicken Teriyaki,
each just as exquisite as the last. But there's one thing that pushed this campaign over the
top in terms of success, and that's how every single one of the iconic sandwiches on the
menu could be a part of the Footlong promotion and be sold for the mere price of $5 dollars.
The campaign rolled out in September of 2008 and was an instant hit. All of those 12 inches
of sub for only one Abraham Lincoln - they don't make deals like that anymore. Everyone
rushed to their local Subway to get their hands on this one-of-a-kind deal, and this
is what made Subway’s subs truly become famous. This huge popularity explosion was
all thanks to one single promotion. Again, even though there was some drama related to
the "true size" of those sandwiches, most people didn't mind. The promotion has come
and gone over the years, with Subway bringing it back for a limited time last summer, but
the memorable song is still living in all of our heads, rent-free. Sonic's Bacon Cheeseburger Toaster With so many different menu items offered
at Sonic, it can become quite hard to just pick one favorite. You've got your tater tots, foot-long
hot dogs, chicken tenders - anything your taste buds demand, it gets. Known for its
sweet deals and even sweeter shakes, Sonic has got you covered when it comes to any craving.
And while the burgers are already pretty savory and juicy on their own, Sonic doesn't stop
there. It found a way to make one of their best menu offerings even better by switching
up the traditional buns for some thick cuts of Texas toast. This unique burger, or shall
we say, toaster, brings the fast-food burger game to a whole new level of deliciousness.
It features the same juicy beef patty, along with some bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles,
an onion ring, onions, and cheese, all covered in a tangy, hickory BBQ sauce. This everything
but the kitchen sink sandwich has been the pride and joy of Sonic for over a decade,
and customers just can't seem to get enough of the thing. Many reviews have praised the
Bacon Cheeseburger Toaster for the surprising thick and substantial bacon strips, saying
it's a refreshing change of pace from the mince-y thin bacon most of the major chains
serve up. And well, it's also a nice change of pace from the regular burger bun. It helps
Sonic stand out from the crowd while serving up some truly original burgers! Popeyes Biscuit Every fast-food chain has its own signature
side dish to pair with its meals. McDonald's has their iconic French Fries, KFC and its
mashed potatoes, Chick-fil-A and the Waffle Fries, but at Popeyes, it's all about the
biscuits. Of course, we're not taking anything away from the unmatched taste of Popeyes'
chicken - it's arguably one of the best fried dishes in the country - but there's nothing
quite like a buttery companion to go along with your juicy chicken. First introduced
in 1983, the biscuits have become a staple of the Popeyes menu ever since. The biscuit
is basically an essential and integral part of your Popeyes' experience. Without it, the
meal just isn't complete. It is so yummy and beloved that people have taken over the
Internet in hopes of recreating the amazingness that is this biscuit at home. Numerous copycat
recipes can be found online, but nothing can really come close to the real deal. It's a
wonder why Popeyes hasn't gotten into the biscuit chicken sandwich game. It seems like it would
be a huge success! In the meantime, you can just make your own! Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers Raising Cane might not be the most popular
fast-food chain out there, but it sure knows how to make some delicious fried chicken.
Founded in 1996, Raising Cane is a relative newcomer to the industry, but they have still
accomplished quite a lot in the short amount of time they've been in the fast-food game.
With a rather small menu, it leaves more room to focus on perfection. Pretty much everything
the chain does, it does well, but nothing can beat its signature Chicken Fingers. They're
the perfect balance of seasoned, crunchy breading and tender, juicy chicken - and just wait
until you add them to a sandwich, it's like paradise on earth. The Chicken Fingers are
always made using fresh premium chicken - never frozen - to obtain the most tender results.
The certified “Bird Specialists” hand-dip and bread the chicken fresh for every order
and then fry it up using a quality Canola Oil blend to enhance the flavor. The special
marinade helps to lock in moisture and add even more flavor. In past reviews, some customers
have said that Raising Cane's chicken could "put the Colonel's chicken to shame," and
well, we can't say that this statement is totally false. They never use heat lamps,
giving the chicken a little advantage on the freshness front. If you've never been, and
you want to experience some high-quality, tasty chicken, then Raising Cane's has earned
a shot! Papa John's Cheese Pizza Nowadays, you can pretty much just put anything
on a pizza - different kinds of meat, vegetables, and for the more adventurous among us, even
pineapple. Everything looks like it belongs on a piping hot pie. But, as much as all-dressed
pizza can be a true delicacy, a regular, plain old cheese pizza can bring you just as much
happiness - at least, if it comes from Papa John's. As the fourth largest pizza delivery
restaurant chain in the United States, Papa John definitely knows a thing or two about
good, quality pizza. After starting out in the 1980s, over the following decades, Papa
John's gained more and more recognition for its quality ingredients and consistency. The
chain usually attributes its popularity to "real meat and fresh veggies," but to be completely
honest, sometimes, a classic cheese pizza is all you really need. Made with real mozzarella
cheese, the cheese pizza is a sure thing every single time. The cheese is put on top of their
signature sauce made from fresh vine-ripened tomatoes, on your choice of crust - then baked
to golden deliciousness. Yes, this pizza is the definition of simplicity, but there's
absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you're gonna do it simple, simply do it well. And
they do. KFC Popcorn Chicken Odds are, you already know plenty about KFC
- and you've probably visited the Colonel many times before. It's like a rite of passage
in the fast-food world. And what's the best thing about KFC? Yes, of course, it's the
chicken. All thanks to the top-secret, highly guarded recipe of 11 herbs and spices that
can drive just about anyone nuts. It's probably the most famous recipe out there, and no one
really knows what it is! Talk about keeping a secret! But, what happens when you take
one of the most popular fried chicken recipes of all-time and turn it into a bite-sized
version? Well, you get an even more yummy menu item and an obvious new hit on your hands
- KFC Popcorn Chicken! Popcorn Chicken were small pieces of chicken breaded and fried
in the same manner as the original chicken. It was the perfect side dish, snack, or even
a meal on its own if you only had a small appetite. While these are still available
in other countries, they are nowhere to be found on US menus. Instead, they have been
replaced with bigger, similar Popcorn chicken nuggets. Sure, they're still the same, delicious
chicken recipe; it's just the size that changed. The reason behind the switch has never been
made clear, but nevertheless, at least we still have some kind of mini chicken bites
to accompany our meal. Arby's Curly Fries If you're content enough with your regular,
boring shoestring french fries when you go to a fast-food restaurant, then, by all means,
keep ordering whatever floats your boat. However, if you find yourself longing for something
more, keep listening, this might just be what you've been searching for all your life. At
Arby's, they don't always play by the fast-food rules - and they don't serve your traditional
fries. Instead, Arby’s serves up their famous curly fries. The chain began selling its signature
fries in 1988, and they've been a customer favorite ever since. They've even been called
"perfection in physical form" by some hardcore fans, and how could they not? They're basically
the most accurate blend of twisted crispy fried potatoes and mouthwatering seasoning.
Loaded with paprika, cayenne pepper, onion, and garlic; these curly fries have a flavor
that’s just as fun and unique as the shape. If you're tired of people constantly eating your
curly fries, take matters into your own hands and order an extra carton just in case. This
way, you'll make sure you never miss out on the greatness of these curly fries. Wendy's Chicken Nuggets When you think about Wendy's greatest hits
over the years, the first thing that comes to mind might be the Frosty, or even the Baconator
- both very fine options and very tasty as well. But there's one more item you should
probably consider in your rankings, the chicken nuggets. Sure, they might look innocent and
ordinary in the sea of nuggets offered by every other fast-food joint, but trust us,
they're nothing like you've had before. With a crispy exterior and tender interior, you're
guaranteed to get a perfect bite - every time. It may not look like it at first, but the Chicken
Nuggets are one of the most popular items at Wendy's. Like, massively popular. They
even broke the internet more than once. For instance, in 2017, when Nugget Boy took over
Twitter in his attempt to get free nuggets for a year from Wendy's - which he did indeed
receive. Or in 2019, when Chance the Rapper expressed his love for the discontinued spicy
chicken nuggets. There was even that time a tweet about Wendy's Nuggets was the most popular
tweet of 2017. Now, that's some famous chicken nuggets. While McD's might receive all of
the praise, people need to climb aboard the Wendy's nugget train. We’ve got more - just tap or click for another
