The top fast food and full service restaurants for customer satisfaction were just named in a new report. I guess Bird really is the word. Chick Fillet, easily held onto its lead, is the favorite fast food chain, with 87 out of 100 points for the third year in a row, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index. Is Restaurant Report 2018 The other limited service restaurants leading the pack Panera Bread with 81 points. Pizza chains Papa John's and Pizza Hut came up even and were followed by subway, according to USA Today. Compare that to a score of 69 out of a possible 100 for McDonald's. When it comes to full service, restaurants don't mess with taxes. Texas Roadhouse was America's favorite outpolling cracker barrel, which slipped three points from last year, and Longhorn Steakhouse, which tied Cracker Barrel for second place. Other favorites include Olive Garden, an Outback steakhouse. Compare that to a score of 77 out of a possible 100 for Danny's. USA Today says the survey was based on thousands of interviews with customers and restaurants are scored on things like wait staff behaviour, food quality and restaurant cleanliness. At three years in a row, I'd say Chick fil A knows how to clean up in the awards department.
