This Is The Best Regional Fast Food Chain In Tennessee

Everyone knows the popular national fast food brands, like Taco Bell, McDonalds or Chick-fil-A, but sometimes the lesser-known regional chains are many customers' favorite.

Each region has its favorite fast food chain that was either started there or is specific to the area, like Whataburger in Texas or Wawa in Pennsylvania. Mashed recently released its list of the best regional fast food chains in each state.

But which spot was named the best in Tennessee?

Pal's Sudden Service

Decked out in a vivid blue tile design with massive replicas of their popular menu items, Pal's Sudden Service is a staple in East Tennessee. From burgers and hotdogs to breakfast and "Frenchie Fries," you can "expect the best" when stopping by to see your friends at Pal's.

Here's what Mashed had to say about what they describe as the best regional fast food chain in Tennessee:

"It's impossible to miss Pal's Sudden Service in Tennessee and Northern Virginia. The two-story, robin's-egg blue drive-through adorned with giant fast food is iconic and delicious. Furthermore, Pal's shocked many in 2001 by being the first restaurant to win the coveted Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award (via NIST). Pal's burgers and Frenchie Fires consistenly win rave reviews, and the breakfast biscuits are also winners. Also don't miss out on the cheddar rounds — fried has brown bites stuffed with cheddar cheese — which are only served in the morning."
