Top 5 Fast Food Places

By: Morgan Aycock

  1. Zaxby’s 

I could eat Zaxby’s everyday. I always get the big zax snack. Their fries are probably the best fries from any fast food place. Zax sauce is so good and goes perfectly with everything they have. They also have the best salad. They used to have raw fries which they should bring back because I remember always getting them when I was younger. 

  1. Chick-Fil-A

There isn’t anything bad from there. I like that they don’t only have chicken on the menu; they have a nice variety of different choices to choose from. They have healthier options like salads, wraps, and fruit. They probably have the best mac and cheese out of any fast food restaurant, and they have by far the best ranch. I also like their waffle fries because no other fast food place has those kinds of fries and it makes them unique. They have the best breakfast out of any other place, but my only complaint would be that it ends at 10:30 and not 11, because who wants to eat lunch at 10:31? They are overall the nicest fast food place and have good, Christian morals and values.

  1. Bojangles

Bojangles is at #3 because they don’t have a nice variety on the menu, but their food is good quality. Their Southern style chicken is one of my favorites. The seasoning is something that you will not find at any other fast food place. This really sets them apart from any other fast food place. Their breakfast is also very good; one of my favorites is the Cajun chicken biscuit. The biscuit is buttered perfectly, but also has a sweet taste, which makes it a good combination of sweet and salty. Their food is also very fresh and they have some of the best honey mustard that you can get out of anywhere.

  1. Cook out

Cook out has a great variety on their menu. They have from barbecue to burgers, so they have something for everyone. They also have some of the best milkshakes you can get anywhere. The portion sizes are very good and the meals fill you up. The prices are very affordable, and the portion sizes makes it a great deal. They also add a good Southern aspect to the menu from barbecue to hush puppies to banana pudding milkshakes. 

  1. Sonic 

Although sonic is not one of my favorites, they have a very good variety on the menu. They also offer slushies, which fast food restaurants often don’t have. Their drinks can be customized to anything you want added to them. The carhops are something that no other fast food place has and makes Sonic unlike any other place.

My Favorite Places to get a Sweet Treat

Creamy Eggless Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe ...

When it is late at night, I fall into the trap of craving a sweet treat. Whether it is ice cream, a yummy drink, brownies, chocolate, candy, or a milkshake, I love to indulge into a good sweet. I will be listing my favorite places to buy a delicious treat for myself.

  1. Sweet Frog

They are so underrated and have literally anything you can desire. They have different fruit frozen yogurts, cake batter, cheesecake, oreo, cotton candy, and so many more. You can pair this with any toppings of your choice. They are not open too long at night so you have to be quick with your decision making of when you want to go. They are luckily open in the winter and summer. I love Sweet Frog even if it is not as popular as it used to be.

  1. Cookout

It is a great place for food, but I will specifically be talking about their milkshakes. Cookout has sixty different flavors and even on top of that, you can mix them too. Paired with a side of fries, their milkshakes are served very thick so it is preferred to eat it with a spoon. My personal go to is the chocolate chip cheesecake milkshake. It is truly a taste of heaven. 

  1. McDonalds

This place has everything, but if I am wanting a sweet treat at night, their ice cream machine better be working. I love a good m&m mcflurry because these will always satisfy me. The parking lot at night is a little scary, but if you can get past that then you have got yourself a scrumptious snack on your hands. If I am feeling a little adventurous, I also enjoy the oreo mcflurry as well. Additionally, if I want a more day time sweet treat, I also think their mango smoothie and strawberry banana smoothie have a great taste.

The Best Fast Food in Sumter

by: Alexis Dawkins

I spend more time at fast food restaurants than I do at home. I get in trouble sometimes because I rarely eat at home, but fast food is more convenient.  I eat a lot of food and have a list of my favorites. 

Starting with my favorite, Chick-fil-a. This is my number one go-to when I’m hungry. With an order of a chicken sandwich with a large fry with either a sweet tea, diet coke, or frosted lemonade, depending on my mood. 

Next up is Zaxby’s. This is not everyone’s favorite but it is a good place to go even though sometimes it is not necessarily the quickest option. Here my order is a big zax snack with extra zax sauce and either a diet coke or sweet tea. Sometimes I throw in some fried pickles if I’m in the mood for them.

Mcdonalds is a go-to for so many people, especially late at night. A lot of people get burgers but I’m a chicken nugget person. I always get a ten piece chicken nugget meal with fries and either sweet tea, diet coke, or a chocolate milkshake. 

Cookout is a fun late night trip. If I go then I usually just get a milkshake and fries or cheese bites. Sometimes when I do get food I like getting a tray with chicken tenders and fries and cheese bites with a sweet tea. Cookout sweet tea is by far the best sweet tea in summer. 

Sonic is one of my favorite places to go for a quick bite to eat. Getting their pickle fries (fried pickles), which does not sound like they would be good but they really are. I like running through and getting an ocean water or lemonade slushy. 

These are not everyone’s favorite places and some are not my favorite but they are good places to stop when looking for some food that you do not have to cook.
