Canada

Here in downtown Guelph, there are loads of great ones. Up the street from us we have: Quiznos Subway Wendy's Tim Hortons Taco Bell McDonalds KFC ...just up the street!! It's like having our own food court!! However, the BEST ONE THERE IS is right next door to us. Those in Canada will know all about Harvey's, and how GOOD their burgers are. About the only thing you can't get on our block is a pizza. Which cool places are near you?

We have a few restaurants close to our house too. There is McDonald's & Rally's close. Subway & a pizza place are not too far. I think there may be a Chinese place in that little mall too but I'm not sure since we only went there once & didn't like their food. Wendy's & Tim Horton's are in the same building fairly close. John's fave is just a short drive; Taco Bell. There are also a couple local places. Ya Ya's sells chicken & Halo Burger sells really fresh hamburgers.

White Castle is only about 10 minutes across town. And the bus runs by there & also runs about 3 blocks from my house! When are you going to be here? There are lots of houses for rent in my neighborhood! :)

I am not a fan of the big fast food places that you name. Animal welfare issues, cheap meat, cholesterol laden over salted fried food. No thank you. The best places, and quite often no more expensive, are local family owned restaurants - especially Italian and Indian in my experience.

There are several Indian restaurants within walking distance from the apartment (as well as a half dozen Irish pubs). I agree that small restaurants are better. I found a Chinese restaurant that has a great lunch menu for under $5 and it's more filling that McDonald's.

Lucky me because we are far for a fast food places. If we are near, i guess everyday. Specially now that i'm pregnant i love to eat at the fast food. That's why i just order via online only.

I live in a little country village, so there are no fast food places that close, but there's a Burger King and Little Chef at the services stop which is one-and-a-half miles away. Other than that, if I want to eat out anywhere, I go to one of the two pubs. Brightest Blessings.

I live a couple of blocks from one of the busiest streets in my city so I have type of resturant down the street from McDonalds to Olive Garden. Sometimes there are two of the same kind with in 5 or 6 blocks from one other. One of the best is Becks Prime. They make made to order bugers, chicken, steak and the have a drive thru. When I really want to treat my-self to a good burger I do there.

In my areathere are two mcDonald's, a Wendy's and a KFC. But the best butgers are from Five Guys. There is a Five Guys near my home but my favorite one is in the food court of my favorite mall which is a few mile away.

Just over a couple of blocks is a "hamburger alley" we have within a couple of blocks, several mexican places including a Taco Bell; burger places: including a Sonic, What-A-Burger, Burger King, Wendy's; a Cici's pizza place; and a KFC. I haven't been to all the Mexican places, Mexican food isn't high on my list of foods, but I can tell you that we have a high hispanic population and I think there are 5 or 6 - not counting the Taco Bell. There may even still be a Chinese place - but I'm not sure about that. Now, if you go a few blocks up the other direction, there's a whole MALL of Chinese/Vietnamese places, and some more across the street and up just another block. They do have a place with a clever name - Wok on Fire - a spicy Chinese place

I wouldn't call it lucky enough to live near any fast food place, I would call it a convenience in case I had a taste for it. I live close enough to a quiznoes, wendy's, burger king, Mcdonalds and there are several pizza places nearby. I do not go to fast food restaurant often, and now that I am not working, I hardly go. I think my favorite would be quiznoes, I like KFC, but the closest one, which was about six miles away has closed.

6 dollar burger - *yummz!!*
There's tons of fastfood places near me. When my family first moved here I liked it because I was 16 and those were potential jobs. Now I find myself working farther away, attempting to find better jobs and I am cutting back on my fast food intake, so I don't really care about it anymore. Anyways, the places within walking distance from my house include: - Little Caesars - Burger King - Wendys - Arbys - McDonalds - Pizza Hut - Carl's Jr. - Taco Maker - Taco Bell - Del Taco - Subway - Fazollis (or however you spell it) and a couple of small chinese restaurants that I can't remember the names of Yeah I live next to a lot of things. I am glad that they are kind of down the street though and not right next door like your house is. I think that the sound of the traffic and stuff would drive me crazy. My favorite place of these is Carl's Jr.. Taco Bell is probably my second favorite, but I can't go to the one by my house because I got kicked out (long story), so if I want it, someone else has to go for me.

Hi danishcanadian, I guess by the standard of this discussion, I am VERY lucky lol. I live in between 2 town centers. It just takes me a few minutes to walk to either. Both of them have at least a MacDonalds and one has a KFC, Long John Silver and Pizza Hut too. And if I venture even further (well, just 1km away really) to a bigger town center, that place is packed with all the above but many restaurants and eatery, and shopping too! How cool is that?

I wouldnt say that any OUTSTANDING fast food places are near me. Just up the street from me is McDonalds, Burger King, Subway, Arbys, Pizza Hut and AJ's (which is a hot dog place). I don't have a Taco Bell or Quiznos Sub close to my house. They are about 20 minutes or more away. I would love to have a Quiznos just up the street.

Too many, and I've got the ten speed tire around my waist to prove it, not a spare tire, I'm not that fat, but if keep eating all the stuff around me I'm going to be. I have a Taco Bell, McAllisters, Taco Bueno, McDonalds, Subway, Panera, oh, the list goes on and on.

Hi there my Danish Canadian friend. I will answer this for me and my girlfriend as well: I live near a recent mall, that currently has some fast-foods in it, the best known among them being "Springtime" while my girlfriend's best well known fast food close to her is "Pizza Hut".

I don't know if this is lucky or unlucky, I have very low resistance to fast food and I always try to avoid walk/drive by them. But they are truly yummy, aren't them?
