Del Taco, a single location in Whitehall, Ohio, at 4720 E. Main St., was the preferred fast-food restaurant among USA TODAY readers. The Habit Burger Grill, a chain primarily located on the East and West coastlines, was the preferred burger. Del Taco's potatoes were the most popular.

Dave Thomas established his initial Wendy's on East Broad Street in downtown Columbus in 1969, while Skyline provided chili for two decades.

In 2023, Wendy's was the fifth largest fast-food chain in the United States, and according to a survey conducted by the YouGov market research firm, it was the third favorite of Americans.
