When you think of fast food, some items often steal the spotlight. But what about those hidden gems? In this article, we shine the light on 12 fast food items that are easy to overlook - but are totally worth a try. Some are common, others less so - but we think you will be pleasantly surprised by all of them!
McDonald's McRib
The McDonald's McRib is a limited-time sandwich featuring a seasoned boneless pork patty shaped like a rack of ribs, topped with pickles, onions, and tangy barbecue sauce, all nestled in a hoagie-style bun. While it periodically graces the menu, it tends to fly under the radar compared to other McDonald's classics, making it an underrated option you should definitely try.
Chinese Omelette
A fusion of flavors, the Chinese Omelette brings an Asian twist to fast food. Packed with savory ingredients and folded to perfection, it offers a unique and often underestimated option for those seeking a different breakfast experience.
McDonald's Cheeseburger
Despite its classic status, the McDonald's Cheeseburger sometimes gets overshadowed by newer and/or more elaborate menu items. However, its simple yet satisfying combination of a juicy beef patty, melty cheese, and tangy pickles is one we never quite get over.
Fish & Chips
This beloved British dish marries perfectly battered, flaky fish with golden, crispy fries for a comforting and satisfying meal. This simple yet delightful combination deserves more recognition as a quintessential fast food option, especially outside of the UK.
Doner Kebab
The Doner Kebab, with its delicious blend of seasoned meat, fresh veggies, and creamy sauce, offers a taste experience that anyone who's tried it generally falls in love with. Its unique flavor profile and satisfying textures make it a hidden gem well worth discovering!
Rice & Curry
A warm and flavorful choice, rice & curry presents a complex taste profile, which is not typically associated with fast food. You might not think of this as a comfort meal, but try it and you'll find that the delicious blend of spices and warm, creamy, sauce are just as comforting as other options!
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish
Despite being an option you might not order that option, the Filet-O-Fish boasts a delicious combination of a crispy fish patty and zesty tartar sauce. This seafood option brings a unique twist to fast food, and we think it definitely deserves more attention for its originality.
Chow Mein
Often nestled far down on the menu, Chow Mein offers the perfect fusion of stir-fried noodles, fresh vegetables, and protein, providing a delicious combination of flavors and textures. Its savory goodness is severely underrated as a main food item, and instead is often relegated to a side dish. We love it as both - and especially the leftovers!
Falafel Wraps
Often overlooked, Falafel Wraps might just be the best vegetarian option for fast food. Crispy and flavorful chickpea patties, fresh veggies, flavorful sauces... what's not to love?!
KFC Hot Wings
For spice enthusiasts, KFC's Hot Wings pack a fiery punch of flavor. These zesty wings, with their crispy exterior and bold seasoning, provide a delicious option to regular wings for those seeking a bit of heat.
Shish Kebab
Grilled to perfection, the Shish Kebab offers a flavorful combination of marinated meat and crisp vegetables on skewers. This combination of juicy meat and crispy veggies is a hidden gem in the world of fast food in the US, but a very common fast food option in countries like Turkey. Give it a try, we're sure you'll love it!
KFC Chicken
KFC's signature fried chicken is the perfect blend of crispy, herb-infused (secret recipe!) coating and juicy meat. This gem might not be "hidden" as such - but it tends to be overlooked as "just KFC" when in reality, what is ever better than KFC?!
