I ordered the same meal at Freddy's and Culver's. Both offered value, but only one Midwest favorite dominated every category.

I ordered burgers at Culver's, Freddy's, and Sonic. The best was also the cheapest.

My husband and I don't eat much fast food, but we went to Culver's for the first time and loved our $42 meal

I ordered salads from Wendy's, Culver's, Chick-fil-A, and Zaxby's. My old go-to chain didn't make it close to the top of the list.

I wouldn't typically go to Chick-fil-A or Zaxby's for salads, but I did for this taste test.
