It\u2019s hard to find a city in the world where a fast food joint doesn\u2019t exist. It\u2019s the best place to go to if you want a quick bite, especially if you\u2019re running late for a meeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fast food restaurants are also known for being really affordable compared to other restaurants in the Philippines, only beaten by hawker stands or carinderias<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of some of the most popular fast food restaurants in the Philippines:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Jollibee<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to find a Filipino that doesn\u2019t know who Jollibee is. It\u2019s the country\u2019s largest and most popular fast food chain, with over 750 stores in the Philippines and at least 80 outside the country. Their food is similar to McDonald\u2019s but with a uniquely Filipino twist.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Mang Inasal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mang Inasal started out in 2003 in Iloilo as a stand-alone barbeque quick service restaurant, serving traditional Chicken Inasal <\/em>with its pioneering \u201cunlimited rice\u201d concept. It has since been acquired by Jollibee Foods Corporation and now has over 450 stores in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Chowking<\/strong><\/p>\n

The country\u2019s first Asian quick service restaurant, Chowking pioneered the concept of combining the Western concept of a fast food joint with Chinese cuisine. Also acquired by Jollibee Foods Corporation, Chowking has at least 300 branches as of 2011 and continues to be the country\u2019s go-to restaurant for Chinese-style food.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Greenwich Pizza<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greenwich Pizza started as an over-the-counter pizza store in the Greenhills Commercial Center. Known as \u201cThe Philippines\u2019 Favorite Pizza Chain\u201d, it\u2019s the country\u2019s largest pizza chain with at least one in every city in the country (their website only lists 62, but we know there\u2019s more than that). They\u2019re the country\u2019s true Filipino pizza chain, serving the country since 1971.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"tropical\"<\/p>\n

5. Tropical Hut<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tropical Hut may not be as well-known as Jollibee, but it\u2019s certainly an institution for most Filipinos, especially the older generation. They\u2019re known for serving burgers that rival those of McDonald\u2019s and international brand Burger King, even with the success of Jollibee.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many more fast foot and quick service restaurants in the country, but these five dominate the scene.<\/span><\/p>\n
