I live within a mile [and a half] or so of about ... several fast food/fast casual restaurants.
Panera Bread - only tried it once, on par with Chipotle. Jones Soda. I like the buzzer pick-up ashtray devices.
Jack in the Box - Good burgers, large beverage cups.
Chipotle - Burritos, tacos, and ... QUESADILLAS?! Yeah. Tasty.
Quiznos - A bit pricey, but great subs. They got a pepper bar.
McDonalds - Classic fast food. I don't go as much as I used to. Must try snack wrap.
L&L Hawaiian -
Loco moco and other
plate lunches. Aaaahhhh.
Panda Express - Authentic* Chinese food. Bilingual cashiers. Woot!
Taco Bell - Grilled
STUFT burritos and cinnamon twists.
KFC - Stop hatin' on the gravy bowls. They're not that bad.
Carls Jr - Meat overload = win
Rally's - Cajun fries and chicken strips.
Chick-fil-a - NUGGETS NUGGETS NUGGETS
The nearest Sonic is next to Disneyland, which (if you know your SoCal geography) is roughly 40 minutes away. The nearest Wendy's and Burger King is 15 minutes away. We don't have any White Castles. No sliders for me, I guess.
Thumbs up on the chocolate milk, also, but banana milk = win.

* - to a certain point. Most Chinese food in America has some ancestorial connection with Cantonese food, and as such, isn't 'true' Chinese.
