    I seem to remember a scene in Babylon 5 where Vir got sick eating at a place that sounded like a rebranded McDonalds. Londo was chastising him saying you know Centauri stomachs can’t handle fast food. I wish I had time to rewatch that show.

      How can you forget McBari’s! They only have fresh spoo, but the flarn is out of this world.

    I think there are some fast food restaurants on the Citadel of Ricks in Rick and Morty.

    ISS orbits at ~7.66km/s, so technically any pictured food up there can be considered fast food.

    I think the mess hall with a food replicator is as close as you’re going to find.

    What do you think the function is of a fast food restaurant in a society with no money and instant food machines.

    This is of course with Earth in mind. I have no doubt there are fast food places on Ferenginar.

    It’s five-star, not fast food, but there’s Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, which serves a delicious Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Don’t let the five-stars scare you off:

    All you have to do is deposit one penny in a savings account in your own era, and when you arrive at the End of Time the operation of compound interest means that the fabulous cost of your meal has been paid for. (Many claim that this is not merely impossible, but clearly insane.)

    This is why the advertising executives of the star system of Bastablon came up with this slogan: "If you’ve done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
