Chick-Fil-A is dethroned as America's favorite fast food restaurant by two rivals
Chick-fil-A was ousted as America's favorite fast food restaurant by KFC and Del Taco in a new survey.
Last year, Chick-fil-A finished first in USA Today's rankings, which were determined by readers' votes.
The restaurant drew high marks for its chicken items and its waffle fries.
This year, KFC and Del Taco were something of dark horses. Neither of them even appeared in the previous top ten. But this time around, they not only made the list- they soared to the top.

At the bottom of the pack was Arby's, who dropped four spots from their ranking last year.
Known for their slogan, 'we have the meats,' Arby's offers diners trademark roast beef sandwiches, as well as deli-style sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, and wraps.
In ninth place was Zaxby's, a restaurant that's renowned for its fried chicken. Some of their chicken-related items include chicken sandwiches, fingers, and wings.
Zaxby's menu also features unique foods like white cheddar bites, loaded fries, and fried pickles. The restaurant also lures customers with its assortment of chocolate chip cookies.
In the number eight spot was Popeyes, who moved up two places in the rankings from 2023.
Created in New Orleans, Popeyes is internationally recognized for their southern fried chicken.

After being bumped from the top spot, Chick-fil-A finished in third. The restaurant's menu is built around chicken and offers a number of items that feature the bird, including salads and nuggets.
But the most popular menu option at Chick-fil-A remains to be the classic chicken sandwich, which has been the most-ordered item at the restaurant for the past two years.
In second place was KFC, which was an impressive feat considering they weren't ranked last year.
Founded by Colonel Sanders in 1930, KFC is celebrated for its chicken and its slogan, 'it's finger-lickin' good.'
With over 25,000 restaurants scattered throughout the world, the chain is one of the most successful.

Del Taco's menu features a mouthwatering blend of Mexican food, like burritos, nachos, quesadillas, as well as items like burgers and fries.
In addition to their standard menu, the California-based restaurant also offers breakfast, vegan, and vegetarian menus.
