1. Anything grilled, really.. which rules out almost all "fast" food places. I base my factors on whether they provide nutritional data and if said data is deemed healthy for me in terms of saturated fat, sugar, and protein.
2. Generally 15~ minutes if it's at a place similar to McDonalds. KFC (which is DISGUSTING) I generally would stay around 20-30 minutes if only because I was fat the last time I ate there and could go through the buffet a few times.
3. No. That's what the interwebs is for.
Sat down for a 3-hour throwaway game of Shadowrun at Taco Bell once. Shit was so burning.
Wendy's Spicy chicken sandwich.

1. Whatever is on the dollar menu is the deciding factor for me. The difference in food quality is small, sometimes food on the dollar menu is better, so it's not worth paying $7 or when I normally would only have to pay $2. There are some places though that do have good tasting food for a little bit more (In-n-Out, Five Guys, etc.) Sometimes I'll pay a bit more for that, although I can't do this very often because I'm a student and have no money.
2. This all depends. Usually I just go through the drive through on the way back home from somewhere although once in a while I end up going to these places with my friends (during lunch breaks at work or whatever.) We'll sit down and eat and talk for a bit, just like a normal restaurant.
3. Only with the people I came with. It's pretty rare to find anybody in a Fast Food restaurant that you would want to socialize with unless your a kid or a mom.
Try out the $1 Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Mc D's. They're pretty good and like 1/3 of the price. They have really good fries too.
Also, protip: When ordering fries ask for them unsalted. The reason being is that fast food restaurants are allowed to leave fries up for 8 minutes until they're served. Fresh fries are much better than the ones that have been sitting around getting soggy. Asking for them unsalted means they'll have to cook a batch just for you and they'll be super fresh. They're healthier too. If you want salt, you can always add some yourself afterwards.
Or you can suck some dicks.
1. In-n-Out: 3x3 Animal Style, no tomato, no pickles, Animal Fries, Dr. Pepper and a chocolate shake.
2. I take it home normally, eat it in about 15-20 min.
3. Nope
1. Bojangels: 4 piece supreme (chicken strips) side of fries or dirty rice and honey mustard sauce
Wendys: 1 spicy go wrap 1 homestyle go wrap and a bowl of chilli
McDonalds: 2 McChickens 1 Double Cheeseburger and a fry
2. If I'm by myself maybe 5 minutes~. With friends it could be up to 30 minutes.
3. Yes sometimes me and other choose to meet at said restaurant to hang out.
1. Mc'Donalds: Jr. Kids Meal cheeseburger plain and dry w/ small fries or 10piece Chicken Mc.Nuggets w/ small fries. Subway: Italian BMT w/ lettuce only chips ever-so often. KFC: Popcorn Chicken w/ small mashed potatoes or three piece chicken meal including potatoes and a biscut. Taco Bell: Chicken Quesadilla w/ two 99cent chicken soft tacos. With all the orders I usually get a medium sized drink that's usually Pepsi, Dr.Pepper, or Iced Tea.
I usually get food that I know will fill me up and I can finish, I only go to food restaurants when I know there's nothing to eat at home so I'm iffy on wasting my money on new meals I suspect I won't like so I always stick to my usual. If someone else is buying and I'm feeling up to it I'll try something different.
2. If I'm alone (at home usually) I'll usually finish my meal in 10mins, but if others are watching (in the restaurant) I'll become more lady-like while I eat which usually takes me 20mins, but if I'm just flat out hungry I could care less what others think and finish my meal in 8mins.
3. I never eat inside a fast food restaurant only on occasions where I'm with friends, traveling and want to stretch my legs, or taking a break at work (I work at TacoBell.) Aside from work socializing at a fast food restaurant is never on my agenda (I prefer to take my food home, heck on breaks I even eat in my car.) Can't stand eating in front of others unless it's waiter service.
1. What are the food choices that you make @ a fast-food restaurant that you often go to? (In-n-out, KFC, Mc D., Sonic, Carl Jr., etc...). And base on what factors that you decide your orders? Subway preferably over other stuff that I know will cause me to cast away demons
2. Although it's call fast food, how fast do you actually eat? How long do you stay there for? (when you go alone, or with friends) 10 unless I'm distracted, then 15min
3. Do you use the restaurant to socialize with others (as opposed to just eattin?) Yes

If I absolutely have to eat fast food then I will only eat chicken, and then only what said establishment advertises as "whole breast" ie. not chicken bits. I don't eat at fast food establishments that often at all so not sure if I qualify for your survey, but quality of ingredients is important to me and the deciding factor in where I eat out, when I eat out. More often than not I will end up not eating rather than eat fast food when I'm dragged there by friends.
2. Although it's call fast food, how fast do you actually eat? How long do you stay there for? (when you go alone, or with friends)
It's called fast food because of the delivery service, lol. But to answer your question, I eat it at a normal pace. Always go through the drive through, very rarely go inside and that's if we need to pick up something we forgot to tell the guy to get.
3. Do you use the restaurant to socialize with others (as opposed to just eattin?)
No.
1. I used to go to McDonalds almost every day until they stopped serving the Hot n' Spicy McChicken. Now, Checkers/Rally's is my main fast food joint of choice. (though if it's early enough I just go to the chinese restaurant and get the $4.50 lunch special, but that's not rly fast food, but just sayin).
2. I eat pretty quickly. In most cases I get 2-3 sandwiches, stuff one in each pocket and eat the third while I'm walking out of the restaurant. By the time I've made it to the first street light (I ride a Bicycle), I've finished the first sandwich at which point i reach for number 2. I'll be done w/ the third just about the time i get home.
3. No, i get my shit and gtfo
1. Usually take advantage of the dollar menu wherever I go. Factor being price (obviously). Although the fries are good, burgers are more filling so I usually get the $1 burgers over the $1 fries. If I want fries, I'll usually go with the higher priced/quantity large/x-large.
2. I eat it pretty fast. 5-10 minutes tops. Usually longer when I'm texting, playing the Wii, or other stuff while trying to eat.
3. I have used the restaurant to socialize before. Few buddies of mine use to gather at a Whataburger (24 hour drive thru and dine in) after events (sports games, parties, clubs, etc) and eat for like the 1st 10 minutes but stay there for an additional 1 or 2 just talking and cracking jokes, etc.
1. w/e looks/sounds good
2. 20min?
3. I've never eaten fast food just to have it. It's disgusting but I'll have something if people I'm with want to eat somewhere real quicklike.
I remember this occurring and being severely disappointed with the replacement sandwich. However, I went back a few years later and ordered a Hot and Spicy Chicken Sandwich. That's how they rang it up and it tasted pretty damn good. Maybe I've adjusted to it or maybe they changed the formula. I'd recommend you give it a retry~
1. Never ordered burgers till the new McD's angus burgers. Love them things. Otherwise chicken wraps/sandwich's.
2. Chew and screw.
3. Never hang out at a fast food joint. Who would want to do that?
