When COVID-19 shut down many indoor dining options during the pandemic, more Americans decided to hop in their cars and pull through drive-thrus for a quick meal. McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Taco Bell, as well as more regional favorites like Culver’s and In-N-Out have all seen a boost in drive-thru traffic since the start of the pandemic.

Top Agency released a report that examined which fast food restaurants have seen the most amount of traffic since the beginning of COVID-19. The report found the top five choices for each state to determine which fast food chains are the most popular.

America’s top fast food choice is Sonic, which got the No. 1 spot for 14 states. Wendy’s and Taco Bell tied for No. 2.
