That being said, not all fast-food chains are created equal, right? Some are definitely better than others and there are quite a few that you downright avoid. Whether it be the quality of the food, restaurant conditions, or even the price, there are a variety of reasons why you would and wouldn't choose to go to a certain restaurant. Let's focus on the price factor. One popular fast-food chain was recently named the most expensive fast-food chain in the United States, and to be honest, it isn't the one that I was expecting.

Most Expensive Fast-Food Chain in the Country

Mashed ranked the most and least expensive fast food restaurants, and when it comes to the most expensive, it's a chain that has 185 restaurants in Indiana. Wendy's is apparently the most overpriced fast-food chain in the country.

Here's what Mashed said:

Wendy's topped the list of fast food chains that would break the bank with the restaurant's Baconator burger combo costing more than $12 and a chicken nugget lunch setting you back more than $11.

Now, I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting Wendy's to take the top spot on this list. I kind of figured a place like Five Guys or Long John Silver's would be more overpriced. While both restaurants are delicious, there are certainly cheaper fast-food options. Granted, cheaper doesn't quite mean better food.
