Evaluating fast-food options on a $10 budget, McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's emerged as the best choices in terms of value. Shake Shack's chicken sandwich was enjoyable but felt less worth the money spent. The rising prices at fast-food restaurants have made dining out on a budget increasingly challenging. The comparison included five major fast-food chains, focusing on getting the most for a limited amount without using promotions or rewards to ensure fairness.

Eating out when you're on a budget feels harder than ever these days. With prices going up at even the cheapest spots, I set out on a mission to find out which fast-food chain would deliver me the most bang for my buck.
I visited five well-known chain restaurants - McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Chick-fil-A, and Shake Shack - and kept to a $10 budget, excluding app-only deals and rewards to keep it even across the board.
