This is not a ranking of which place has the best food, but rather which places you'd pull into at the Last Rest Stop For Three Hours and it's lunch time so you have to grab something for the road trip you're about to endure.
We all know the real answer is to stop at Buc-ees for an on-the-road BBQ sandwich. But that's not an option here.

- Chick-fil-A: across the board, no matter which one you stop at - you're guaranteed a relatively smooth drive-thru experience. Friendly workers who seem happy to go out of their way to help customers. Almost zero mistakes with the order
- Wendy's: usually clean dining rooms, consistent food quality at every stop. Some do free lemonade refills (which isn't common). Their new "hot fries" guarantee still needs to be tested, but sounds promising.
- McDonald's: their drive-thru throughput is getting better, but they still have a problem with their counter ordering and dining room cleanliness. Still, you know what the food will taste like no matter which location you happen to hit. It may not be the best overall experience, but it'll be the same experience no matter where you go. Also worth checking your order before you drive off.
- Burger King. They may have fun commercials and interesting menu items, but we have yet to hit a BK that isn't dog-gone slow to order and get the food.
- Popeyes: good food, but horrible option to eat *while driving*. Needing extra napkins is an understatement.
- Taco Bell, KFC : definitely not a good choice for a 3+ hour road trip with no available rest stops.
