Okay, not that this’ll do you any good, as these are local joints in the Seattle area, but here goes.  
Dick’s Drive In  
Burger Express  
Smokey’s Charcoal  
The Cave Man (BBQ)

A local chain–Pal’s.

Huge burgers–pleanty of toppings. Completely loaded hot dogs. The best iced tea in fast food. Excellent shakes. Great fries covered in seasoned salt. The most deliciously wonderful ham and cheese fast food sandwich around. And that doesn’t even include the breakfast menu! (Mmm…cheddar rounds…)

And they have the absolute fastest drive thru known to man!  
Mmmmm…

If it hadnt been for **White Castle** closing every store in my area, I probably couldnt have gone vegetarian. Now tho, Id have to go with taco bell. Where else can you get truly Vegan friendly food for the change you find in the seat of the car. Anyone, annyone? Thats what I thought.
