Do you consider fast food joints to be restaurants?

To me a restaurant is where you sit at a table, a waiter comes and takes your order and then you have to wait a while for the kitchen to make it.
Fast food joints you just stand in line, pay and get food under 5 minutes...
In your opinion, are fastfood joints restaurants?

A restaurant is a place you get hot food and can sit and eat it.
Fast food and buffets and sucu are subsets of restaurants. Just as catering and take out is a function of restaurants.
It seems your main qualifier is waiter and there's alot of traditional restaurants that don't require you to go through a waiter. Especially in these times.
So... Yeah
I can tell you in commercial insurance we cover a mcdonald's the same way we cover 5 star restaurants.

I'm surprised at the results of the poll. Do that many people really believe they aren't a type of restaurant? If you were going to refer to a "fast food joint" without using the slang term "joint", I think the most obvious way to describe it would be a "fast food restaurant".

Of course a fast food restaurant is a restaurant
I’m surprised too
Restaurant doesn’t mean good or quality or sit down or that you have a server. It just means place that sells prepared food.

Right. Also, grocery markets/stores sell prepared food, but most don’t normally think of them as restaurants.
Semantics!

No, but if they have a separate walk-up counter to buy the prepared food, you could call that a restaurant within a grocery store. But it’s usually more of a deli. But isn’t a deli a restaurant??

Yeah I'd agree with that, you could argue that the part that sells prepared food is a restaurant but it's not that the whole grocery store is devoted to selling prepared food.

Is Braum's fast food, an ice cream shop, or a grocery store?

You know what’s crazy, early last March I got some take out for lunch a couple days before they found COVID in Seattle. And I haven’t gone to a restaurant since. It’s been almost a year. I’d love to support restaurants but I was already uncomfortable with people touching and breathing on my food before the pandemic. This might have ruined restaurants for me forever. Or for at least a couple years.
