While some fast-food chains may be burdened by a reputation of distracted cashiers and dirty dining rooms, a few brands rise above the competition.

On Tuesday, the American Customer Satisfaction Index released its annual restaurant report. Across America, the ACSI found that customer satisfaction is dropping, with satisfaction at limited-service restaurants dropping 1.3% compared to 2018.

“Overall, the fast food customer experience shows some deterioration as major operators focus on technology and menu upgrades to meet changing consumer preferences,” the report states. “Fast food customers tend to be more price sensitive as well, and the industry sees a weakening in guest perceptions of value.”
