Chick-fil-A no longer rules the roost.
The “Eat Mor Chikin” restaurant chain specializing in chicken sandwiches is no longer America’s No. 1 fast food restaurant.
After nearly a decade on top, Chick-fil-A — which announced in March it would be shifting away from antibiotic-free chicken starting this spring due to supply chain issues — has dropped to No. 3, according to USA Today’s annual reader-ranked survey.
Mexican chain Del Taco was voted the best fast food chain of 2024, while KFC came in second.
In a surprise, Del Taco also notched USA Today’s No. 1 spot for best fast food fries with its crinkle cut fries.
“This popular taco stop, which serves all kinds of satisfying Mexican fare including burritos, quesadillas, and nachos, also offers burgers and fries,” the publication said. “In addition, Del Taco has a dedicated breakfast menu, as well as a vegan and vegetarian menu.”
On its list of best fast-food chicken, Chick-fil-A finished No. 7. Filipino joint Jollibee, which has 100 stores in North America, landed the top spot.
Every year USA Today’s editors select a final set of nominees for the Readers’ Choice Awards, and readers vote on the overall winners.
