We started by listing what we thought are America's top 20 most popular fast food restaurants that all three of us have tried (in no particular order) :
Chick Fil A, Chipotle, Five Guys, Shake Shack, Popeyes, In n’ Out, Papa Johns, Smash Burger, Freddy’s, Panera, Q-Doba, Wendy’s, Dominoes, KFC, Sonic, McDonalds, Subway, Burger King, TacoBell, & Jimmy Johns.
From these twenty restaurants, we each made our own personal top ten lists based off our personal opinions. We also each made our own top five lists for burgers and fries based off our personal opinions.
We compared all of our lists and found the top fast food restaurants that we ranked similarly high. From there we created our rankings.
