In-and-Out Burger: N/A
Chick-Fil-A: 10/10. Amazing food, great fried and good milkshakes. Also they don't slather mayo on everything by default, win.
Chipotle Mexican Grill: N/A
Church's Fried Chicken: 3/10. Not impressed when I've had them.
Little Caesar's Pizza: 2/10. Junk.

In-and-Out Burger ---
Chick-Fil-A- 9/10. Hellz yeah. -1 point for not being for the poor.
Chipotle Mexican Grill ---
Church's Fried Chicken 2/10. Ew.
Little Caesar's Pizza- 9/10. Probably my pizza of choice as long as I am being a cheap bastard.

Little Caesar's Pizza - 6/10 - Good for the price. The sauce is more spicy than sweet, which is how I usually like it.

Aaaand the only one of those other ones I've ever even seen in my area is Chick-Fil-A and I never ate there.

In-and-Out Burger: 10/10. The price is extremely reasonable, the food is always freshly made with freshly prepared ingredients, their recipe is AMAZING, they do what they do and nothing more and they do it awesomely, and their milkshakes are tops. In-and-Out Burger is one of the top reasons I will likely never really leave California.

Chick-Fil-A: N/A. I see them, but I don't think I've been one since I was very little, so I don't really recall.

Chipotle Mexican Grill: 10/10. Again, the price is reasonable, the food is always prepared fresh, and they taste awesome. I love that you can customize their offerings to your liking. Burrito? Taco? (Crispy or soft? Corn or flour?) Bowl? Quesadilla? Would you like fajita vegetables? Rice? Beans? Pinto or black? Which salsa? They taste the best when you get the meat fresh off the line, but I love them any time. The fact that Andrew and I make a point to eat here once a week says enough, I think. Besides which, they practice progressive food handling policies, something I very much appreciate.

Church's Fried Chicken: N/A. See Chick-Fil-A. (Aside: I order chicken things at burger places, but I never go to chicken places. What's up with that?)

Little Caesar's Pizza: 7/10. They have $5 pizzas ready to go, their breadsticks are amazing, and they hold a special place in my heart for their prevalence in my childhood gustatory memories. That said, there are definitely pizzas I like better.

In-and-Out Burger- 6/10- Good for a burger place, superior to McDonalds and BK, but... not amazing.  I'd rather have access to Wendy's dollar menu than In-and-Outs menu just about anyday.
Chick-Fil-A- NA
Chipotle Mexican Grill- 2/10- Only been a couple of times, and it... was not good
Church's Fried Chicken- NA
Little Caesar's Pizza- 5/10- The pizza isn't that good, but the 5 dollar peps were awesome for a drunk college student.  (And when you're drunk, more stuff tastes good anyway.)

Chick-Fil-A- 9/10. Tasty. Bonus points for treating employees like human beings and being closed on sundays.
Chipotle Mexican Grill- 8/10. little expensive compared to say taco bell, but very good.
Little Caesar's Pizza- NA. Don't remember em, haven't had them in ages.

In-and-Out Burger: 5/10. Never really been impressed by it. Decent enough, but nothing special.
Chick-Fil-A: 9/10. The classic chicken sandwich alone gets them this. The lackluster waffle fries stop them from hitting that elusive 10, but DAMN are those chicken sandwiches good.
Chipotle Mexican Grill: Never been
Church's Fried Chicken: 0/10. Eaten this stuff twice, threw up both times(was over a year apart, figured the first time may have just been a bad batch. Nope, it's just that disgusting). I'll take Popeyes chicken over Church's without hesitation. I'll risk the chicken at Long John fucking Silvers before I eat this crap again.
Little Caesar's Pizza: 7/10. The $5 ready to go pizzas are a lifesaver sometimes. You get exactly what you pay for, though. It's a great $5 pizza, but it's still a $5 pizza. Breadsticks are great though. Still, for the price it really can't be beat.

Ah, missed out on a chance to give Papa John's 0/10.  Whoops.  Worst, sloppiest pizzas ever.


In-and-Out Burger - N/A

Chick-Fil-A - 0.5/10 and that .5 is for waffle fries.  Their actual food and service are atrocious in every single instance I've been to across the country.  A small lopsided piece of chicken with a tendency to have odd stringy sinews inside it, on a soggy bun, with one wilted leaf of lettuce and pickles embedded in the soggy bun - when I asked for no pickles.  Yeah no.  Nuggets are barely edible and come out a few hours later.  Also lazy, rude employees.  Maybe I've just been to bad ones but... three here in Austin, the one I went to in Pennsylvania and one in Missouri have all been like this.  

Chipotle Mexican Grill - 9/10.  This counts as fast food?  In my book this is a decent restaurant.  Not much to say about it.

Church's Fried Chicken - N/A

Little Caesar's Pizza - N/A

In-and-Out Burger 8/10 I have eaten there exactly once on vacation but I was suitably impressed. Need to go on a repeat visit to confirm before I bump it up higher.
Chick-Fil-A 7/10 Decent chicken and fries, but pricey.

Never been to the others, except for one Little Caesars visit that I do not remember at all.
Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

Little Caesar's-  6/10.  Haven't been in ages, but... yeah.  I've tried $5 pizzas elsewhere, they aren't worth it.  These guys?  Yeah, it's a good $5 pizza, and less effort compared to a frozen pizza affair.  Pity it's about a half hour drive to get to one, I'd keep them in regular rotation otherwise.

In-and-Out Burger
I've never eaten at one of these, or don't remember having done.

Chick-Fil-A
A bit spicier nuggets than McDonald's, but they have a nice taste.  I think they tend to be a slightly better price per nugget, too, but that could be my imagination.  Unlike most fast food places, their chicken strips and sandwiches are basically the same formula as their nuggets, which cuts down on variety, but eh, still very, very good.
Waffle fries are the only fast food side I actively seek out rather than sometimes tolerating if I'm especially hungry.
Their milk shakes are passable.
9.5/10

Chipotle Mexican Grill
I've never eaten at one of these since I don't like Mexican food.

Church's Fried Chicken
I've never eaten at one of these, or don't remember having done.

Little Caesar's Pizza
Best value for your money in fast food?  I think so.  $5 for a large pizza is as cheap as a large "cook up in the oven" pizza.
Their breadsticks are simply some of the most addictive food in the world.  In a very strong field of pizza joint breadsticks, they stand above the crowd.  They're also a better value than other pizza joint breadsticks, keeping with the trend.
I love Little Caesar's crust, too.  My sole complaint, and it's kind of a nitpicky one, is that I wish they'd be a little less skimpy on the tomato sauce.
10/10

In-and-Out Burger - N/A
Chick-Fil-A - 10 - My personal favorite place to go eat if I have a choice of fast foods!
Chipotle Mexican Grill - 5 - It's good, only been once, but I prefer Moes since they give you chips with yer food instead of having to buy them separetely.
Church's Fried Chicken - 5 - Good sometimes!
Little Caesar's Pizza - 6 - Good enough for quick cheap pizza!

Little Caesar's Pizza - 4. 5 dolla pizza. But that's it.
