(Gray News) - Chick-fil-A has been dethroned as America’s best fast food restaurant, according to USA Today.

The Atlanta-based fast food restaurant was crowned No. 1 on the publication’s 10 Best Reader’s Choice Awards for nine consecutive years.

However, this year, the restaurant dropped to No. 3.

“Chick-fil-A is a favorite of many, including their friendly cow mascots who want you to ‘eat mor chikin’.’ The restaurant offers a variety of chicken-centric dishes, including nuggets and salads, but their classic chicken sandwich has been the most-ordered menu item at Chick-fil-A for (at least) two years running,” the publication said.

With a surprising twist, Mexican chain Del Taco was voted the best fast food chain of 2024.

Coming in second place was KFC.
