Fans told us which chains they thought had the best food, the best restrooms, and of course, the best value.

• Business Insider surveyed more than 3,000 readers to determine which fast-food chain offers the best value.
• Rankings were determined by the percentage of visitors to a chain said that that chain had the best value.
• California cult-favorite In-N-Out beat out international heavyweights like McDonald's and Taco Bell. Major chains like Burger King and Subway didn't even make the list.

This summer, we put out a reader survey to determine which fast-food chains did what best.

Over 3,000 people responded to our survey and told us their thoughts about more than 30 chains. Fans told us which chains they thought had the best food, the best restrooms, and of course, the best value, among other things.

We created rankings by measuring the number of people who had visited a given chain in the last six months and comparing that against the number of people who said a given chain was the best or worst at something. By using percentages to determine rankings, we were able to include regional chains like In-N-Out and Whataburger.
