Update 3: This is absolute madness. It’s now 24 hours since the polls closed, and it appears all the votes have been tallied, and with more than 8,500 votes cast, someway, somehow, we ended up with an exact tie. 4,267 votes for both Sonic and DQ. UNREAL. I’m calling this one. I’m sure all the votes have been tallied at this point, but even if a few somehow trickle in from a slow poll counter, it’s been 24 hours, and this needs to be decided. We’re in uncharted territory here folks, and I’m not quite sure what to do. A re-match or re-vote? Sure, I could do that, but clearly these guys are evenly matched. In the interest of givng both DQ and Sonic a shot at the title, we’re gonna have to get a little crazy to respond to a crazy situation. Therefore, starting on Monday morning, the final will be a THREE fast food chain vote to determine the champion: Sonic vs. Dairy Queen vs. Wendy’s (who defeated Arby’s 57% – 43%). Probably a little bit of a raw deal for Wendy’s who now has to face 2 competitors instead of one, but hey, DQ and Sonic have both proven their strength and I’m not sure of any other way to handle this.
Update 2: Voting has been closed since 1 pm, but in the interest of playing it safe and avoiding a 2000 Florida type debacle, I’m going to wait until tomorrow to call this match-up to make sure the overwhelmed polling application is able to tally any lingering votes it may have been delayed on counting.
Update: It appears all the votes have finally been tallied, so I’m calling this one. Boy was that DQ vs. Sonic match-up close!
- Dairy Queen (50.01%) defeats Sonic (49.99%) by just 3 votes out of more than 8,000!
- Wendy’s (57%) defeats Arby’s (43%)
Dairy Queen and Wendy’s will face off for the Fast Food crown with voting to begin on Monday.
Today we begin voting on our Final Four match-ups, to help determine who will face-off in the championship and be crowned the greatest fast food chain in America.
Today’s match-ups: #4 Dairy Queen vs. #3 Sonic and #3 Arby’s vs. #1 Wendy’s. Click the bracket below to see how we got to where we are today.
Voting will be open until 1 pm FRIDAY. (Update: Readers can vote on the final four match-ups once every 12 hours, so vote early and vote often!)
The championship is taking place next week. Let us know in the comments who you think should win!

I’m surprised DQ made it to the final four. It’s a no-brainer against Sonic.
2 Mike // Apr 13, 2010 at 1:58 pm
Am I the only person who thinks Sonic is insanely over-rated?
3 WTF // Apr 13, 2010 at 2:23 pm
@NT
Sonic’s food is fucking disgusting.
4 LC // Apr 13, 2010 at 2:25 pm
I grew up as a kid always excited about going to the local DQ to pick up an ice cream cone. I haven’t been to a Sonic yet..
5 Angie // Apr 13, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Dairy Queen is the best fast food resturant in the world. D.Q. Rules
6 Donna Gilbert // Apr 13, 2010 at 2:40 pm
I love Blizzards!
7 DONNA // Apr 13, 2010 at 2:41 pm
LOVE THE BLIZZARDS / ALSO PECAN TURTLE SUNDAY, and i’m not surprised that DQ is beating sonic
8 Toaster // Apr 13, 2010 at 2:43 pm
DQ over sonic, only because we don’t have a sonic anywhere near me. And man Arbys vs Wendys is hard, I’m thinking Arby’s though!
9 KeTa // Apr 13, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Sonic is gross. Every time I go there and even just order a 99 cent fry, I end up sick throwing up. DQ has my vote.
10 Valerie // Apr 13, 2010 at 2:52 pm
Sonic sucks! I can’t believe they’d even be nominated. There really isn’t much there worth even thinking about eating. And Arby’s is waaaaayyyy better than Wendy’s!
11 PowderDays // Apr 13, 2010 at 2:53 pm
No way! Sonic’s shakes are so gross that they are changing their recipe. Nothing, on the other hand, comes close to a tasty BLIZZARD!!
(And, for the other vote, no way Arby’s curly fries can touch the delicious combo of a Frostie and fries from Wendy’s!)
12 Jessica // Apr 13, 2010 at 2:58 pm
I think if Dairy Queen wins, they should stay open year round in Michigan
13 Nyckee // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:02 pm
Sonic is horrible. We just got one in our town; I tried it twice and it was the worst food and service I have ever had.
14 LC // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:02 pm
i gre up as a kid always excited to go to my local DQ around the corner to get ice cream. And was excited that they added more food to the menu! Still havent been to a Sonic yet..
15 Dana // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:02 pm
EPIC Sonic vs. DQ battle. Exact same number of votes as of right now! My vote went to Sonic, but it was hard to choose.
16 Corey // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:03 pm
Well, things sure did take a turn for the better for DQ!
17 Joel // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:08 pm

18 Lory // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Sonic’s food has no flavor, I really do not care for it at all…DQ is AWESOME!

Arby’s!
20 Austin // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:21 pm
ARBYS OVER WENDYS!
21 Barry // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:21 pm
I’ll take a DQ Brazier over and other burger out there.
22 Angela // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:21 pm
I ate at Sonic not to long ago and tried one of their new Angus burgers… Needless to say I called them and this is exactly what I said, “I don’t know if you changed where you get your meat but that was the nastiest burger I ever ate in my life.” I could not even finish that burger it was so nasty! The lady on the other end was surprised. Needless to say you will not get me to eat a burger from there ever again!
BTW – I love the Chicken Strip Basket!
23 Becca // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Sorry, I had to go with Sonic on this one. I haven’t lived in a town yet that can keep a DQ open as long as a Sonic, and there has to be some reason for it. DQ has great ice cream, because they use a different mix than Sonic, but I love the burgers, pickle-o’s, and drinks you can get at the Sonic! I just wish they had more of them in the Pacific Northwest!
24 Tecpaocelotl // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:33 pm
I’m surprised that In-N-Out was out by Arby’s & Popeyes out by Sonic.
25 Steve // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Yeah DQ might have better shakes (aka blizzards), but it’s a fast FOOD bracket. And by no means will you ever catch me anywhere near DQ food. Sonic’s way better overall.
26 Barb // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:47 pm
I went to Sonic the other day, and they charged me 25 cents for a lousy cup of water. Which was in a styrofoam cup, no less. I really resent paying for what should be free. It was only for my dog!!
27 Tonia // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Sonic is disgusting.
28 ChefJon54914 // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:50 pm
I find it funny that some people haven’t ate at Sonic buy still voted anyways… how can you make a fair jugdement without having ate at both places?
29 Scott // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:55 pm
Wendy’s?!!!?? To begin with they mayo on there hamburgers. Sick. Next all they have for hot sauce is CHILI SEASONING PACKETS, huh? The chicken wings are over rated and not good and not hot.
30 Steve // Apr 13, 2010 at 3:57 pm
I can’t believe Sonic is down by that much over DQ I can’t pass a Sonic without stoppin and getting a burger and tots and the corn dogs taste jut like the fair’s I love sonic and can’t wait til one is closer to me right now the closest is over an hour away. I have like 3 DQ’s in a 30min radius and I don’t care for it unless I want ice cream it over priced and the moms and pops ice cream shops are better anyway.
31 sadeyes // Apr 13, 2010 at 4:06 pm
DQ RAWKS!! they are so much better than Sonic!!!! DQ has a better variety than Sonic!
32 Jennifer // Apr 13, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Sonic is gross!!!!!!
33 Beautifull // Apr 13, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Sonic is deffinatly kick ass. i HATE DQ that stuff is nastttyyy onic def. has my vote and Wendys is AWESOME!
34 TERESA // Apr 13, 2010 at 4:18 pm
THERES NO CONTEST AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED – WENDYS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
35 leonard // Apr 13, 2010 at 4:22 pm
well i have to say i enjoyed sonic when i was in myrtle beach…..but since we will never get a sonic ..because of weather…..i have to vote DQ..we have 3 in our city of niagara falls…and i pass 3 and when it comes to wendys…cant beat them…..salads
36 JS // Apr 13, 2010 at 4:42 pm
DQ vs Sonic? Really? DQ is SOO much better on any given day.
Now, Arbys vs Wendys – a closer race, but Wendys gets it hands down because their food is consistently fresher, better tasting and (around here anywhere) wendys just seems to have cleaner and happier employees.
I can’t wait for the championship!
37 shatraw // Apr 13, 2010 at 4:56 pm
if wendy’s doesn’t pull this one off, there’s a problem.
38 lynn // Apr 13, 2010 at 5:01 pm
im mad at dairy queen, they dont have chocolate soft serve, and when i asked they looked at me like i had 3 heads
39 lynn // Apr 13, 2010 at 5:02 pm
i lived in buffalo ny and they had chocolate soft serve every where, but none in kentucky

Are you kidding. DQ’s got it in the bag!!!!!
Or should I say cone.
44 grief // Apr 13, 2010 at 6:11 pm
how the fuck did in-n-out lose to arby’s?
45 Brenda // Apr 13, 2010 at 6:12 pm
DQ reeses peanut butter cup blizzard is the best with Wendys frosty a close second. DQ’s chicken basket is great while Wendy’s salads are the best for any fast food place around!
46 Dee // Apr 13, 2010 at 6:15 pm
The DQ Grill ‘N Chill is good, but the regular DQ restaurants have such slooow service, & their food is not that good. Wendy’s Frosty’s are the best! But both the DQ & Wendy’s don’t keep their restaurants very clean
I have not been to a Sonic since I Went to Disneyland 34 years ago, but I remember it was very good! I plan to visit one as soon as I can. I’m glad they’re bringing back the roller skating wait people! To me, it’s not really a “drive-in” w/o them 
47 Dee // Apr 13, 2010 at 6:16 pm
Arby’s is has good food, & excellent service
48 Dee // Apr 13, 2010 at 6:17 pm
BTW: Why bother moderating if you’re going to allow the “f” word to be seen by everybody???!
49 Monique Bass // Apr 13, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Blizzards are the bomb!!!!
50 Al // Apr 13, 2010 at 6:59 pm
Go Sonic considering that dq should be in an ice cream bracket.Maybe against Braums…
51 Dee // Apr 13, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Out of all the fast-food joints I’ve been to in recent years, I’d have to say that CULVER’S is the very best all around!!
52 jessi // Apr 13, 2010 at 7:48 pm
my mother and i used to do mystery shops for sonics. there were about 10 stores within a 40 mile radius (va / nc area) and we did them all… there’s been a couple stores that have miserably failed because of lousy food, but for the most part, their food is great. always fresh, always hot, always cooked to perfection. i’m not sure where all these disgusting sonics are, but travel a bit and find a good one. they’re not all nasty.
53 sue // Apr 13, 2010 at 9:10 pm
Sonic is SO not good for anything but a beverage. DQ all the way!!!
54 Howard Gould // Apr 13, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Now to me Sonic has better food than DQ, there desserts rock..I spent many yrs working with Wendy’s and quality there is #1…Since Arby’s purchased Wendy’s..they need to bring back Salad Bar..
55 Mike H // Apr 13, 2010 at 11:15 pm
Wendy’s will take the title. Arby’s seriously??
They’re in the red for sales.
Check out the single sometime. It’s the only sandwich that is satisfying to fill you up, without making you feel like crud.
56 James // Apr 13, 2010 at 11:18 pm
you guys are crazy Sonic blows DQ out of the water. this must have been rigged for sonic to lose to DQ. you have got to be kidding me. and for all you haters out there sorry you have a sonic that is poorly ran. come down to the south were the weather is always warm, all the car hops are skating around and having a good time, and you will have one of the best experiences with fast food you have ever had period no questions about it. Sonic is still #1
57 CFO // Apr 13, 2010 at 11:41 pm
are you guys freaking serious? who eats food from DQ? its a crappy ice cream shop. at best they dabble in fast food. sonic has it all, amazing drinks, good food and decent prices as well as a solid variety. I agree sonic blows dq out of the water. its unfair that these two even have come up against eachother in the final 4. dq, although i like their deserts just cant compare with sonics overall variety and quality. GO SONIC!
58 Becky // Apr 14, 2010 at 2:38 am
Sonic has icecrem but not like our soft serve. DQ doesnt taste like it has grease in.
59 jeff // Apr 14, 2010 at 7:50 am
I have been going to DQ all my life. Always brings a smile to my face!!
60 celeste // Apr 14, 2010 at 9:07 am
DQ all the Way!!!!!!!
61 Zac // Apr 14, 2010 at 9:16 am
DQ was what i grew up on and sonic just has nothing to compare to old time DQ!
62 Ron // Apr 14, 2010 at 9:16 am
Arby’s in the final four? You’ve got to be kidding. BORING food.
63 Teresa // Apr 14, 2010 at 9:22 am
I love Dairy Queen and will take it any day over Sonic. Not only do I love their food, ice cream, shakes, etc better but every Sonic I have ever been to has had crappy service.
64 Vicki // Apr 14, 2010 at 9:42 am
DQ ROCKS
65 faith // Apr 14, 2010 at 10:05 am
i have 2 say dqqq, bc i work at 1 and our’s is the best food that i tasted and sonic has great slushies but thats about it, now dq has great chicken strpi baskets and ice cream
i <3 DQ GRILL AND CHILL
66 Lance // Apr 14, 2010 at 10:20 am
how do i vote? cant find the button anywhere
67 David // Apr 14, 2010 at 10:24 am
All Sonics serve food and havbe a great variety. DQ is limited on locations. Have to go with Sonic.
68 CHERRY LIMEADE // Apr 14, 2010 at 10:36 am
YOU GUYS HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!SONIC VS. DQ?!?!?!?! THERE IS NO COMPARISON!!!!!SONIC ALL THE WAY!!!!!OVER 168,000 DRINK COMBINATIONS AND WE ARE IN JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE STATE IN THE COUNTRY
69 Jess // Apr 14, 2010 at 11:12 am
DQ hands down!
70 Josh // Apr 14, 2010 at 11:15 am
Arby’s is by far the best. Have you tried their roast burgers? They are the jam and the fries are like a wonderful dream. After I finish the only thing I can do is think of the next time I bite into a mouth watering meal again from Arby’s. I will end this by saying you have to end your trip with a chocolate milk shake.
71 Robin // Apr 14, 2010 at 11:23 am
I agree with Jessica (Apr 13, 2010 at 2:58 pm):
“I think if Dairy Queen wins, they should stay open year round in Michigan.”
72 melissa // Apr 14, 2010 at 11:36 am
DQ Rocks the best food and ice cream in the world…Me and my husband eat there at least once a week he loves their coney dogs and I love their chicken basket………….:)
73 Chris // Apr 14, 2010 at 11:41 am
Sonic has good drinks and the sonic blasts are comparable to the DQ blizzards. I haven’t gotten sick from the sonic food only off a specialty drink that I may of drank too fast. Overall sonic is still good. So people stop complaining about it being so bad. I love DQ also blizzards are great. The food is over priced for the combos.
Wendys in my opinion blows Arbys out the window with some of their food. I dont really eat Arbys that often since I dont really care for it and it doesnt look that appealing. Frostys: not even Mcdonalds can beat their desert menu. Chicken wings are just ok its not BWW or anything to ride home about. All of the chicken sandwiches are great. Not much of a hamburger person or dont really care for their burgers that much so I can really talk about that. Their fries are great especially if you dip them in a frosty.
Battling for the top spot should be Sonic and Wendys. One of them is the champion that I chose from the beginning and the other isnt. Good luck to both.
74 Karen // Apr 14, 2010 at 11:53 am
Arby’s is okay, but waaaaaaayyy too expensive. My vote goes to Wendy’s. Delicious stuff that’s more affordable.
75 Joshua // Apr 14, 2010 at 12:00 pm
I love DQ and I love Arby’s. If DQ and Arby’s were to be in the finals, I’d choose Arby’s over DQ in a heart beat. Sadly, Arby’s isn’t looking good and so I’m gonna have to vote for DQ against Wendy’s since DQ’s icecream is so freakin’ GOOD! Mocha Moolatte,Banana Split blizzard,M@M blizzard and Chocolate Cherry Love are thee best icecreams out there by far!
76 The Beav // Apr 14, 2010 at 12:13 pm
ARBY’S!!! Yes, please!
77 AirbiorneBob // Apr 14, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Are you kidding me!!?? Sonic is by far the only choice, over 186,000 drink combinations, Super Sonic Burgers and a Junior Candy Sundae for $1! GO SONIC!!!
78 sonicfreak // Apr 14, 2010 at 12:45 pm
SONIC ROCKS, The new ice cream will set you free and help you forget about DQ. GO SONIC
79 Neilio // Apr 14, 2010 at 12:47 pm
Sonic is by far the BEST! I read all the comments and people are going back and forth, but just look around. There is a reason that Sonic is expanding and the stores get new looks all the time. Do you see that with DQ? They are lucky if their 25 year old location gets a fresh look that is if it is not already scheduled to be shut down for good in the town.
80 missa // Apr 14, 2010 at 1:35 pm
wendys is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
81 Bryanisapimp2007 // Apr 14, 2010 at 1:57 pm
Wendy’s is definatly one of the best fast food chains. I feel like you actually get a choice instead of it being just burgers and fries. They also offer some healthy items and not just junk food.
And the speed of service is excellent compared to Mcdonald’s.
82 Shaun // Apr 14, 2010 at 2:21 pm
Arby’s is wayyyyyy outtttta control, may I have (5) more beef n chedda’s please?!?!?!

84 katie // Apr 14, 2010 at 2:54 pm
it’s a no brainer that DQ’s gonna win ,theres no sonic in canada and there DQ in both canada and USA .thats twice the votes
85 Sheli // Apr 14, 2010 at 3:51 pm
DQ is the best and I love Windy’s too
Here is what I think the best meal would be is McD’s chicken sandwich and Bugar King’s Fries and Windy’s chillie and a DQ’s blizzard that would be a meal made in heaven
86 bryan // Apr 14, 2010 at 6:56 pm
How can Arbys seriously be losing to Wendys. Our local Wendys are having tomato shortages and the quality of sandwiches has been slipping. I have never had a bad experience from Arbys ever and they have the friendliest and most courteous staff of any fastfood joint I’ve been in.
87 Andrew // Apr 14, 2010 at 11:01 pm
This message goes to scott…(29) yeah mayo on hamburgers when you get a classic burger or one other PREMIUM burgers you get mayo on it. If you don’t like mayo then ask f
or no mayo. Secondly the chili seasoning packets is for the chili. If you want a ‘hot’ dipping sauce you can ask for the boneless wing sauces or mix and yeah the wing sauces are hot. I know cause I work there and have had plenty of people say some of the wing flavors (sweet and spicy Asian and buffalo, no replaced by chipoltle) are hot. So sorry buddy if you don’t know how to place an order but that’s not the restaurants fault. It’s yours.
88 Gregg // Apr 15, 2010 at 12:50 am
Seriously, voting between Sonic and DQ was choosing the lesser of two evils for me, but DQ only has dessert/ice-cream over Sonic- THAT’S IT. I’ve been to both recently, and I was highly disappointed with DQ. The price was already a bit steeper than other places, but when I got my food, it looked like it was a kid’s meal (no bigger than mcd’s hamburger; <mcd's small fry). On top of that, the fries were bland. I had to pick Sonic. Sonic is better overall.
89 Gregg // Apr 15, 2010 at 12:54 am
Arby’s v. Wendy’s is tough. I like both ok. Not sure who to choose. However, I will say that Arby’s isn’t that expensive depending on what you get. That 4 for $5 was the best!
90 sheepy // Apr 15, 2010 at 12:59 am
I won’t eat at Arby’s at all, not even a soda. Sonic has good tots and drinks. DQ has great ice cream but bad food. Wendy’s is the best!
91 Lis // Apr 15, 2010 at 2:18 am
I’ve never had Sonic or DQ. Neither one exists near me, so I voted based on advertising and brand recognition… For Sonic. I actually look forward to being able to go to a Sonic. Limeade is one of my favorite things ever. DQ just doesn’t seem special.

94 thomas // Apr 15, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Arby’s should have been out in round 1, if they win this one then the polling must be rigged. Go Wendy’s!
95 WendysFreak // Apr 15, 2010 at 1:06 pm
Wendy’s wins this whole thing all day long. How Sonic got this far is a mystery to me. I adore their drinks. Love em. They have the best drinks in the world. But their food is atrocious. Absolutely horrid. I never eat there. Wendy’s v DQ for the final. And DQ has good ice cream. And ok food. But they got nothin on Wendy’s.
96 Rachel B // Apr 15, 2010 at 2:57 pm
Dairy Queen is disgusting!! The ice cream is good, but if there is car in front of you in line.. I hope you brought your sleeping bag. They have to hit that 20 minute quota to get the food out. Dairy Queen is dirty and not well maintained, not to mention the teenagers having sex in the walkins! Extra mayo anyone?
SONIC RULES!!!!!!
97 Nick L // Apr 15, 2010 at 5:40 pm
DQ over Sonic and Ultimately Wendy’s wins over Arby’s but Quizno’s would give Wendy’s a run for there money.
98 DJ // Apr 15, 2010 at 6:33 pm
i don’t even know how DQ made it this far! they have great ice cream but the food is horrible!!!!
99 Bobby B // Apr 15, 2010 at 6:50 pm
So DQ has the leading votes cause of its Blizzards? This is a fast food bracker
100 Jessica J. // Apr 15, 2010 at 8:42 pm
I really don’t like Dairy Queen at all. Their shakes and ice cream is halfway decent, but their food is no good, except for the chicken tenders & toast. Their burgers are the worst burgers out there.
Sonic is the best because of their delicious texas toast used for grilled cheese and chicken sandwiches. I think there is even a burger on it. I also LOVE their tater tots & cheese and the new limeade cream slush is to die for.
101 Jessica J. // Apr 15, 2010 at 8:46 pm
SCOTT #29 – What in the world are you talking about? A ton of fast food places put mayo on their burgers. I happen to like mayo on mine, and you do not, and they are both okay, because WHEN YOU ORDER YOU TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT ON YOUR BURGER!
Also, my Wendy’s has little packets of Texas Pete hot sauce! What more can you want?
102 Jessica J. // Apr 15, 2010 at 8:47 pm
I must leave one more comment because I am SO SHOCKED Dairy Queen is beating Sonic right now. I honestly think it’s just because these people have never eaten at a Sonic.
103 Lindsey H. // Apr 15, 2010 at 9:30 pm
This just blows my mind! I agree with whoever said anyone saying sonic is disqusting with poor service must not have ate real sonic food, that must have been a bad store. Like wendys where i live is the nastiest fast food in town. The sonic i work at in TN is always packed, people driving around the parking lot looking for a stall, we skate every now and then and everyone is soo friendly!
104 El Kabong // Apr 15, 2010 at 9:58 pm
I don’t understand how it is that so many people like eating shitburgers and drink diarrhea shakes at Dairy Fuck…
105 Ann // Apr 16, 2010 at 7:26 am
vote sonic….forever better than dq…plus new ice cream!!!
106 Brittany R. // Apr 16, 2010 at 10:32 am
DQ!
The last time I went to sonic they left my food sitting and brought it back cold. They can’t beat DQ’s service or their blizzards!

Sonic is just a rip off of Hardees. DQ is the original.
108 Tonia // Apr 16, 2010 at 10:48 am
I like both DQ and Sonic for different things. Overall DQ has more variety of things I like. So I have to go with DQ and my son loves going to DQ and getting a chilli cheese dog and blizzard. He’s 7. I do love the drinks at Sonic and I’m glad we have both here.
109 RSN // Apr 16, 2010 at 10:55 am
DQ is awesome but never been to a Sonic and there is not one around here that I know of.
Wendy’s is great. DQ here where I live does not have fast food but I have been to DQS where they have fast food and it was not all that bad.
110 Jess // Apr 16, 2010 at 10:59 am
Go DQ!
I personally have a grudge against Sonic after what they did when they came to my home town in Spokane WA. There was a restaurant called Sonic Burrito, had been in Spokane for 20+ years and Sonic Burgers SUED them to make them change their name. I am super surprised that it’s still hanging in there.. though there is only the one in town. LOL, guess they aren’t doing good enough to open a 2nd one
111 Lindsey // Apr 16, 2010 at 10:59 am
Sonic is by far the best! Who can beat the atmosphere or the fountain drinks?
112 Rickvv // Apr 16, 2010 at 11:00 am
We’ve had a Sonic in our neighborhood in Minnesota for over a year and I have yet to go. I don’t know what the attraction is. Eat in your car? Drive-In car-hop? Whatever. DQ Blizzards rule.
113 Cathy // Apr 16, 2010 at 11:04 am
We recently got a Sonic here in the Chicago suburbs but never went. We were in Texas over spring break and thought we’d have something regional. Yuck. We were all disappointed. We decided we don’t have to check out the local one.
114 Jordan // Apr 16, 2010 at 11:50 am
SONIC > DQ. Vote for Sonic!
115 Tat2dHUfan // Apr 16, 2010 at 11:52 am
Ok by far, Dairy Queen is better than sonic, but my true restuarant of choice, like ever, is Wendys!! I had 2 have my gulbladder removed a few yrs ago, and almost ANY fast food I eat makes me sick. With the exception of Wendys. Their food is so fresh, so good, that I can eat ANYTHING off their menu. I love u wendys!! I hope u win!!
116 Jordan // Apr 16, 2010 at 11:52 am
Show Sonic some love! Gotta have those tots!
117 Joel // Apr 16, 2010 at 11:57 am
WENDYS IS GOIN TO THE FINALS!!! YAYAYAY!!
118 Joel // Apr 16, 2010 at 11:59 am
This basically means wendy’s wins, DQ isn’t good fast food. they just got good ice cream.
119 Melinda // Apr 16, 2010 at 12:01 pm
I love Sonic. I am surprised more people don’t like them. Dairy Queen is good, but they’re too expensive. Wendy’s is also wayyy better than Arby’s so I think they deserve to win.
120 Dan // Apr 16, 2010 at 12:09 pm
If DQ makes it past Sonic, they’re a shoo-in to win. DQ beat McDonald’s — Wendy’s and Arby’s stand no chance.
121 Fred // Apr 16, 2010 at 12:10 pm
Dairy Queen has the best burgers out of them all, except Arby’s of course sinc ethey don t have burgers. Sonic finally came to our area and I am not impressed at all. they suck compared to DQ or Wendy’s
122 David // Apr 16, 2010 at 12:13 pm
I’m voting for Arby’s!!!
123 Tomh // Apr 16, 2010 at 12:22 pm
I’m not a big fan of DQ. I do like Sonic, good chicken strips, love the tots, and it’s about the only fast food place I’ve ever been to that has Sprite Zero in their soda fountain.
Wendy’s is the hands down winner against Arby’s. I love the Wendy’s fries, and the new Honey BBQ boneless chicken is pretty yummy.
124 charlie // Apr 16, 2010 at 12:25 pm
SONIC!!!
125 John // Apr 16, 2010 at 1:08 pm
To all of those saying Sonic is gross, you need to go to a better Sonic. I find far more good Sonic locations than good DQ.
How can you argue with breakfast being served all day?
Sonic FTW!

Sonic has my vote!
Wendy’s for the other.. Arbys is just ‘meh’, Wendy’s is slightly better than ‘meh’
127 steve // Apr 16, 2010 at 1:40 pm
This shit was rigged, we need to have a run off with sonic and DQ……It was to close…
128 priscilla weber // Apr 16, 2010 at 1:52 pm
i grew up in the DQ bussness my grand parents owned one and some of my best memories r in the DQ i hate sonic it id so grose and their food mkes me sick so i vote for DQ . i have to my sint owns one now so its still in the fam
129 cm // Apr 16, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Sonic rocks! It should win the whole thing!
130 k // Apr 16, 2010 at 2:56 pm
I think this was fixed for dq. Tried multiple times to get on website but it was down. Lots of Sonic faithful experienced the same problem, just as we were making a run. Disappointing cuz Sonic is soooo much better than dq.
131 kirk // Apr 16, 2010 at 2:59 pm
I agree, a sudden death overtime is needed based on website being down. Also website claimed polls close at noon, but what about sonic or dq fans in california? It was 10am when polls closed.
132 Eick // Apr 16, 2010 at 3:11 pm
@Kirk – actually the polls closed at 1 pm eastern, so yes, that means they closed at 10 am on the west coast.
@k – I know, sucks that the website went down for a bit, but that affected both Dairy Queen and Sonic fans.
This isn’t necessarily over, the polling application seems to still be counting votes that got in right before 1 pm because it got slowed down so much when the site crashed.
133 paury03 // Apr 16, 2010 at 3:14 pm
WE LOVE DQ !!!!
134 steve // Apr 16, 2010 at 3:14 pm
come on SONIC……….
135 steve // Apr 16, 2010 at 3:22 pm
look, this is going to be way to close….so just go ahead and give it to Sonic…….
136 dee // Apr 16, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Sonic, hands down!
137 Sheryl // Apr 16, 2010 at 3:38 pm
It’s got to be Dairy Queen!! Sonic’s ice cream tastes like water-milk! Blecchhh!!! :p
138 OnlyFreaksLikeSonic // Apr 16, 2010 at 3:40 pm
your sonic FREAKS need to get over it!!! there was NO CONSPIRACY.. Sonic food SUCKS THE BIG ONE.
DQ forever baby!!!
139 Sandy // Apr 16, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Definitely Dairy Queen! Sonic is overpriced and their service staff is R U D E!
140 chris // Apr 16, 2010 at 4:05 pm
no matter what happens, we know Sonic is on top. No one has the variety and creativity like they do.
141 Terrie // Apr 16, 2010 at 6:27 pm
SONIC has way better food than DQ any day. Just looking at DQ’s menu makes my arteries harden.
Sonic should definitely win this matchup!
142 steve // Apr 16, 2010 at 7:05 pm
Dairy Queen is the one that SUCKS…Their whole concept is old and stale. The only thing they have going for them is their ice cream. Sonic is the way to go,Sonic has way more locations and Sonic has had huge growth in the past 10 years. DQ, just go away.BITCHES
143 premium // Apr 16, 2010 at 7:40 pm
Oh my, I just moved away from a DQ Brazier a year ago, where I was hooked! now I often go on a 1 hour journey simply to get their flamethrower, freshly made with juicy and tender meat, I don’t even care about the ice cream, their burgers beat everything else I’ve ever had!
144 james // Apr 16, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Wow this is messed sonic should have won food at dq is concession stand quality and sonic continues to pump out new idea for food and dessert like the new cheddar pepper supersonic burger which is any burger lovers dream come true and this burger is huge and its less than 5 dollars go anywhere else and a burger like that will cost you an arm and leg so hands down sonic should have won.
145 Alan // Apr 16, 2010 at 8:21 pm
UGH! Sonic is WAY overrated… overpriced… and most of their stuff is mediocre at best. OH! And thanks for the SHREDDED LETTUCE on my burger that makes such a mess while I’m trying to eat it in my VEHICLE!!
146 Peter // Apr 16, 2010 at 8:46 pm
this is madness. DQ has decent ice cream but their food is nasty. Sonic has a ton of variety and a lot of it is pretty good. Especially their wide range of drinks. They’ve got something for everyone. I love their happy hour offer, half-price drinks from 2-4 every day. Also DQ has some of the worst service of all time…if there are cars in front of you I hope you brought something to do, ’cause you’re gonna be there a while. And the people are rude and often get your order wrong. Just my 2 cents.
147 James // Apr 16, 2010 at 10:03 pm
ok whats going on who won now sonic has two more votes and dq is winning by 1? what is going on info please?
148 Peter // Apr 16, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Alan #145 – THEN DON’T GET LETTUCE ON YOUR FUCKING BURGER. There are pictures on the menu so you can see what’s on it. Although, I’ve always found it interesting why fast food burgers don’t just come plain, and you say what you want on it, like at Five Guys. I mean, who decided that ketchup, mustard, pickles and onions should come on the McDouble, for example?
149 Gregg // Apr 17, 2010 at 3:00 am
@Alan- I don’t know how old you are, but you are the ONLY person who has complained here about making a mess on him/herself, and then you went on to blame it on a fast-food company. I would be ashamed to admit that, and I’d be ashamed to share a vote with you. Luckily I don’t . . .
I’m hoping Sonic pulls this out- DQ has less variety, pricy food, and the quality, as noted by its own voters, is mediocre at best(just read above). Sonic has breakfast all day, their sandwiches and burgers are large and vary in kind, they’ve got some of the best drinks around, their tots are legendary, plus, they’ve got ice cream, shakes and sundaes that are comparable to DQ’s. Not to mention, every DQ I’ve been to has a horrible look and is lightyears away from another one. And, that also seems to resonate among everybody else- obviously, it’s quite an enterprising company . . .
Unless you have the logic and taste buds of “baby” up there,^ I don’t see how you could justify picking DQ over Sonic. Even though I don’t think Sonic will win over Wendy’s, it should at least beat out DQ, because if it didn’t it’d be almost as abonimable an event as Arby’s making the Final Four (just sayin’ guys, Arby’s is ok, but there are better joints. I haven’t tried their new chicken sandwiches, though, which may redeem them).
150 steve // Apr 17, 2010 at 11:46 am
OK, now we are tied.. when will we know the final results?
151 Al // Apr 17, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Yes!A tie!
152 steve // Apr 17, 2010 at 1:37 pm
Sounds good to me….Sonic will win……..
153 kirk // Apr 17, 2010 at 2:04 pm
I like the decision. Unique way to decide a vote. Great job to all the sonic faithful that got the vote, dq was killing you guys at one point by almost 20 prcent.
154 Joel // Apr 17, 2010 at 2:36 pm
wow, thats intense I suppose. Wendys’ will win!!!!
155 Alan // Apr 18, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Wow, really? Someone can’t complain about the inherently greater difficulty in not making a mess with finely shredded lettuce!? I WANT lettuce on my burger, just not confetti style, thank you!
156 Alan // Apr 18, 2010 at 7:44 pm
Oh, and Sonic’s ice cream treats are total crap. Everyone I’ve had sucks ass, while the Blizzard just can’t be faded!
157 Rachel // Apr 18, 2010 at 8:14 pm
We have a ton of Sonics in my area and no DQs so I’m biased on this but Sonic is my favorite fast food place next to Chick-fil-A.
While the burgers may not be the best, the chicken is always AMAZING. We use real chicken for their “nuggets” instead of grinding whats left of the animal.
The corn dogs, tator tots, onion rings, and cheese sticks are delicious and at our specific location, we have a crab burger, and it rocks.
Also, we have the best ice in the fast food world and we sell by the bagful to customers. What other fast food place lets you buy a bag of ice?
158 Sean // Apr 19, 2010 at 10:37 am
Another vote for DQ.
159 steve // Apr 19, 2010 at 10:51 am

Sonic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
162 Kat // Apr 19, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Sonic cherry limeades!!!
Food is fine, DQ food about the same.
It depends what location you are if you get sick…happens with other chains to me.
163 Socpionlover // Apr 19, 2010 at 5:04 pm
Sonic!
Dairy Queen second place…
164 Judy // Apr 19, 2010 at 10:05 pm
Wendy’s has the best burgers, by far!!! And the frosty makes the fries taste good. The chili is made there from burgers that got damaged. Vote for Wendy’s!!!!

Wendy’s… is too expensive. . . and Dairy Queen, has schizophrenia, you can’t even get burgers and such at most of them, unless they’re a grill or brazier, it’s for softserve fake ice cream.
