10 best fast food restaurants in America you must try

Sure, fast food gets a lot of flak. It's not the healthiest choice, but it's a lifesaver on road trips, after a big night out, or when you just need something quick and affordable.

America pretty much owns the fast food game with classics like McDonald’s, Burger King, and Taco Bell. But each region has its own favorites too, like Culver's and Maid-Rite in the Midwest, Zaxby's and Whataburger down South, and In-N-Out out in California. And then there's Shake Shack, kind of a fancy fast food with those gourmet burgers.
