On Monday morning, Zagat released the results of its latest survey, this one covering 97 major fast food chains and 39 full service chains as voted on by 6,518 ZAGAT.com diners who ate at chain outlets on average 10.7 times per month. Survey respondents weighed in on everything from chicken and cheeseburgers to smoothies and seafood, separately rating each chain on the quality of its Food, Facilities and Service using Zagat’s signature 30-point scale.

That’s the reason why we undertook this survey and why we believe the results are so important,” said Tim Zagat, CEO of Zagat Survey.
