fast-food restaurant
Quick-service dining establishment
A fast-food restaurant serves quickly prepared, standardized meals at low prices—burgers, fried chicken, tacos, pizza.
Customers typically order at a counter or drive-through window and receive food within minutes.
The model emphasizes speed, consistency, and convenience over atmosphere or culinary refinement: We grabbed lunch at a fast-food restaurant on the highway.
