I’m a sucker for fast food.  I love burgers and convenience and the ability to eat on the go.  I know what the medical community says so I’m trying to cut back but if I had a chance to visit one of the “TOP TEN” I’m sure I would,  How about you?

Market research company Sandelman & Associates asked around 100-thousand consumers to rate their favorite fast food restaurants, and in general, the local chains --with outlets in just a couple of states-- ranked way higher than national fast-food chains.

The number one chain was California's In-N-Out Burger, with a 60 percent overall customer satisfaction rating. Diners ranked the chains on quality of food and service, cleanliness and value for the money.

The Top-10:
10. Qdoba, Wheat Ridge, CO.
9. Taco Tote, El Paso, TX.
8. Firehouse Subs, Jacksonville, FL.
7. Pei Wei, Scottsdale, AZ.
6. Chipotle, Denver, CO.
5. Panera Bread, St. Louis, MO.
4. Chick-fil-A, Atlanta, GA.
3. Giordano’s Pizza, Chicago, IL.
2. Raising Cane’s, Baton Rouge, LA.
1. In-N-Out Burger, Irvine, CA.
