fast-food
Burger joint fare
Fast-food describes food prepared and served quickly at restaurants emphasizing speed and standardization over atmosphere: a fast-food burger, fast-food chains like McDonald's.
The term often carries connotations of unhealthiness or low quality: He's been eating too much fast-food lately.
As a noun without the hyphen, fast food is the cuisine itself.
