The fast food menu prices guide

Fast Food Prices

This is a fast food prices guide, that has been written by ‘Places to Eat Near Me’, it offers information about Chick-Fil-A, Subway, Pizza Hut, Domino’s Pizza and McDonald’s food prices in the USA, UK and Canada.

Although the fast food industry, as well as its products, are getting a bad rep lately, it is quite reasonable to say it is without a doubt, in one simple word – convenient. After all, we live in the 21st century, our life is not only moving at a pretty rapid pace, but might even be speeding up to a point where conventional family dinners are no longer an option.

Fast food might be a necessity for some, an occasional treat for others, whatever the case, however, it is being enjoyed by a great number of people on a daily basis. That being the case, we thought the reader might be interested in a short overview of prices in five most popular (arbitrarily selected) fast-food chains.

We conducted a simple research, gathering information published on the web, if possible, directly from the menus on the restaurants’ web pages. The listed fast food prices, are the averages gathered in certain geographical areas, to give a relative price concentrated on the UK, USA and Canada.

The meals of which prices are compared are, because of certain differences in menus and types of food certain chains and individual restaurants offer, catheterized as small, medium and large meals – common, simple meal examples representative of the type of food the fast food restaurant chain has on the menu (e.g. hamburger, cheeseburger and stacked hamburger), specials – a certain permanent special offer, combination or otherwise that the chain has (e.g. kid’s meal), side – a popular or representative side order, salad, dessert, and beverage as an average or a representative item on the menu, and maximum as the most expensive meal on the menu.

It should be said, also, that the ‘meals’ we are talking about are not any of the proprietary menu item combinations, and are avoided, only mentioned as special offers.

USA fast food prices

Despite the fact that fast food restaurants predate modern civilization, much of what we know and see as modern fast food comes from American fast food restaurants. From the first fast food chains in the USA in the 1920s, to globally popular fast food franchises, we could say that the American fast food restaurants are the origin of modern fast food industry.

Such being the case, we have chosen five of the most popular fast food franchises in the USA, and have created a table to help the reader easily compare fast food meal prices, and which will be used throughout the article as similar as the local menus differences allow.

UK fast food prices

The land far and wide known for fish and chips, cornish pasties, and many other tasty treats, The United Kingdom of Great Britain is no stranger to fast food. We used more or less the same table as the one in the US fast food prices section, though we were restricted by the differences in the menus.

Also, to our knowledge Chick Fil A does not have a franchise in the UK, so we substituted it with ‘Dixy chicken prices UK’, as Dixy chicken fast food restaurant had the most similar menu. Furthermore, as we expected fast food prices in the UK section would be most appealing to our British readers, all the prices are listed in British pound.
