Wow, you guys could not have summarized the exact opposite of my views about burritos more perfectly. The rice and beans are the mortar that hold the whole thing together, a delivery system for the more flavourful aspects of the burrito that make it filling and easy to manage in addition to being delicious.

You're trying to build a house without a foundation, and it will fall.

Soft shell tacos are the best of all worlds. And Taco Time makes the best tacos of anywhere, followed closely by Old El Paso.

The burgers remind me a lot of Burger King, but they offer more types of pub style appies.

A little over priced though.

I have never tried Jack-in-the-Box. Is it any good?
I like JITB. If they were here they would likely be my go to fast food place. I'm not going to lie and say their food is on the level with Five Guys but the price is right and they have a good variety of burgers and chicken sandwiches and it's the only fast food place you can get a burger and a decent taco (their tacos are way better than Taco Bell).

Freddy’s has better burgers and fries. Culver’s has better custard.

The ultimate combo is a Freddy’s meal followed by finding an Andy’s custard...which in our town is just across the parking lot.

Taco Time is infinitely better than Taco Bell. That should have been the first match up.

No Tijuana flats in YYC, we have a few really good tequila bars that also serve some wicked mexican food (anejo and blanco) but they're not fast food at all. We have Taco Bell, Taco Time and Taco Del Mar. They are all used to clean you out before a colonoscopy and not fit for human consumption.

There are 7 burger joints in the poll, how much grease do you need? at least Arbys is a nice change once in a while. besides the mentioned great arbys sauce they also make a mean loaded baked potato.

Fun fact, Wendys use to own Arbys

Best chicken in Canada by far is a little place called A&K lick a chick (no I'm not kidding with the name) after tasting this chicken I seriously wanted a franchise to bring back to Calgary, I asked the young lady serving me about it and she said: your probably about the 10,000 person asking about it, the owner has said no for many many years

A little youtube search

I don’t want to sound like a dick but the options here are the real controversy, not the winners.

Very odd inclusions and even more odd are the exclusions.

The Blackened Cajun Cheddar chicken burger there is an amazing experience.

I have never had a better chicken burger in my life. For fast food the taste is amazing, good quality too.

I have never been disappointed by Fatburger. If you have never been there try it. South Street Burgers and Smash Burger could learn from them how to make burgers.

With that said this poll is a little messed up.

Where is Edo and Opa?

Bacon, leftover or not, makes anything and everything better. IMHO

Instead of offering burritos with only flour or corn tortillas, they should invent sheets of bacon as a new kind of wrap.

Noticing the comments about A&W burgers being too salty: I worked at an A&W about 25 years ago, and it wasn't uncommon for customers to request light seasoning or no seasoning on the patty. Same with onion rings. If you like everything about A&W except the saltiness, just ask.
This was also a trick that some former employee customers used to make sure that they got a 'fresh' patty rather than one that had been sitting in the warmer, because they're seasoned while cooking, so a non-seasoned one always needed to be made fresh.

Isn't this poll kind of an oxymoron? Although I have had some pretty dam good street food.
