Is it the crispy fries from McDonald’s or the signature chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A that truly deserves the title of “best fast food”?

10th grader Dominick Noriega said, “I like McDonald’s better because when you use the McDonald’s app you can get discounts and it makes it cheaper than going anywhere else, and it tastes good and that it tastes better than Chick-fil-A.” In Noriega’s opinion their spicy chicken sandwich is better than Chick-fil-A’s chicken sandwich.¨

In the article which is the ing of fast food, Mcdonald or Chick-fil-a from  2023, Nathan K found that, ¨Mcdonalds makes 25.49 billion dollars a year on average while Chick-fil-A makes 11.3 billion dollars a year and he says that most people like how cheap Mcdonald’s can be and how their customers are more satisfied when they leave Mcdonalds.”

10th grader Bryan Silva also said, “ they like Mcdonald’s more because it taste better and they have better deals than Chick-fil-A and that their fries and hot and spicy chicken sandwich is better than chick-fil-a.They like how McDonald’s’ industry runs like the franchisees and how they come up with better meal deals like the 5 for $5 which includes a hamburger or chicken sandwich with 4-piece chicken nuggets, fries, and a drink. How they do things like when you sign in the Mcdonald’s app and after you’re done ordering, it gives you points that you can use on online orders or in the restaurant and you can get something free with the points you get.¨

Fast food apps are mostly popular because you get discounts and points every time you buy food so they try to retain their customers when they buy more and more food for the free discounts and points and the better and better the discounts you get the more food you buy..  

10th grader Frances Mendoza said, ¨I like Chick-fil-A more than Mcdonald’s because it tastes better, and I like how the chicken nuggets taste like real chicken and how they are juicy unlike Mcdonald’s chicken nuggets, every time she goes there the 12-piece chicken nugget combo and how it is cheaper and better than getting a Mcdonald’s 10 piece combo and she like the lemonades there and she likes how nice the workers are and in her opinion the ice cream is never broken and more customers that leave Chick-fil-a are more satisfied and full.¨

In an article comparing McDonald’s and Chick-Fil-A’s chicken sandwiches from April 2021, reporter Autumn Ferrel said,¨ that the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich meal is better than the Mcdonald’s chicken sandwich meal because it cost less like 5.95 when the Mcdonald’s meal coast 6.90 and that the chicken sandwich meal at Chick-fil-A feels you up more and that the chicken taste better than the Mcdonald’s chicken meal. ¨  

In the comparison between McDonald’s and Chick-fil-A, various opinions highlight the strengths of each fast-food chain. McDonald’s fans, like Dominick Noriega and Bryan Silva, appreciate its affordability, app discounts, and deals like the “5 for $5,” which includes a full meal. They also prefer McDonald’s spicy chicken sandwich and fries. McDonald’s success is reflected in its revenue, earning $25.49 billion annually, compared to Chick-fil-A’s $11.3 billion.

On the other hand, Chick-fil-A supporters like Frances Mendoza favor its food quality, particularly the juicy, real chicken nuggets, lemonades, and consistently working ice cream machines. Chick-fil-A is also known for better customer service and customer satisfaction.

Both chains have their loyal followings, with McDonald’s praised for deals and affordability, while Chick-fil-A wins on taste and service.
