Market Force Information recently released the results of a nationwide survey that polled almost 13,000 consumers, asking them about their experience at quick service restaurants in four categories: sandwiches, chicken, Mexican, and pizza.

Papa Murphy’s won the top slot for pizza for the second year in a row. For Mexican fare, Chipotle and Qdoba Mexican Grill tied for first, with El Pollo Loco in second place. Moe’s Southwest Grill and Del Taco were not far behind. Chick-fil-A won the chicken category by one percent over Rising Cane’s, and Jason’s Deli was deemed the nation’s favorite sandwich stop.

The Market Force survey based the rankings on attributes like food quality, service, speed, health, and cleanliness. They also examined the use of technology, revealing that half of the consumers polled said they used technology to order food in the last three months.
