ChainReaction

ChainReaction rates individual fast-food menu items — the Big Mac, not McDonald's — from 12,500+ ratings by U.S. diners (paid survey panels, members and visitors), across 500+ items at 31 chains. Each item has a CR Score from 0 to 100: the share of its ratings at 3.5 stars or higher, smoothed so a handful of ratings can't reach 100. Fire is 75+, Solid 50–74, Skip under 50. Ask Claude what to order at Culver's, whether the McCrispy is any good, Whopper or Big Mac, who has the best fries, or which chain has the best menu overall. Every answer carries the rating count and a link to the item, chain or report page, so you can check it. Items with too few ratings are reported as not yet scored rather than given a number. Tools: search menu items; get one item's score, tier, rating count and rank in its chain; compare two items head to head; a chain's whole menu ranked, with its standing against other chains; the best items in a category (fries, nuggets, chicken sandwiches, desserts…) sitewide or at one chain; and the 2026 Fast Food Census — every chain ranked, the best and worst items in fast food, and a CSV download (CC BY 4.0). Read-only, no account, no key. Answers come from an hourly snapshot of the public catalog. Method: chainreactionhq.com/methodology
