10 of the Most Underrated Fast Food Items

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Minnesota chapter.

Although açai bowls and daily cleanses are all the rage right now, you already know that fast food will always hold a special place in your heart. But, there are certain items that are easily put to the bottom of the list. Here are 10 of most underrated fast food items that you can’t forget about.

1. Dairy Queen’s Shrimp Poppers

Take a walk down memory lane with Dairy Queen’s shrimp poppers. They are equally delicious and unnerving.

2. Burger King’s Chicken Fries

A classic. A good alternative to chicken nuggets, but not quite the everyday french fry. How could you not love chicken fries?

3. Domino’s Lava Cake

Domino’s lava cakes are the sweetest treat, and they surprisingly pair well with pizza. Consider ordering one during your next Friday night Netflix binge.

4. Taco Bell’s Cheesy Gordita Crunch

Perhaps you can’t decide between a soft taco or a hard taco? Perhaps you want both? Well, the cheesy gordita crunch is here for you. A hard taco wrapped in a quesadilla has never sounded better.

5. McDonald’s All Day Breakfast

Seriously, McDonald’s breakfast is better than anything you could dream up. And now that it’s served all day, nothing could be better.

6. Burger King’s French Fries

Burger King’s fries aren’t too salty, but they also aren’t bland. BK might actually surprise you!

#SpoonTip: French fries and ice cream are the perfect pairing!

7. Taco Bell’s Naked Chicken Chips

One of the newer additions to the Taco Bell menu, their idea of chicken nuggets are actually delicious! 

8. Pizza Hut (as a whole)

Pizza Hut is seriously forgetten about, but it is actually fairly good. Relive the early 2000s with some stuffed crust pizza.

9. White Castle’s Sliders

Sure, maybe White Castle’s sliders are a bit greasy and maybe not the healthiest, but they are tasty and filling!

10. KFC’s Potato Wedges

Now, here’s the real winner. KFC seriously fulfills every single craving that you could possibly have, and their potato wedges will be the answer every time. I promise.

Fast food holds a special place in my heart, and maybe yours, too. When all you want is overly salted, greasy goodness, you know where to go. Just don’t forget about these underrated menu items, or you could be missing out.
