Name all national/semi-national establishments that you consider "Fast Food" that have the assembly line style or ordering.

It's fast food.
Unpopular opinion but Qdoba>>>>>Chipotle. Maybe I get the wrong thing but I'm always unsatisfied after eating at chipotle.

Subway comes to mind but I am not sure if they are cheap enough to be considered fast food but their ingredients seem to be as "Non-Fresh" as McDonalds / Wendy's Etc.
But yea, that is the only place that comes to mind.
I would consider Chipotle to be the modern pioneer OF the "Fast Casual" style on a National Scale. (Reasoning based on the definition from up above).

I'm not sure if they do. I don't think I have ever seen drinks @ Chipotle but then again I pay ZERO attention to the drinks any of those places serve. (Alcoholic or Non-Alcoholic)

I guess they do

This is not to say that all counter-service restaurants don't serve alcohol in the United States. Chipotle, which had already been serving beer, made waves in 2013 when it added margaritas to the menu of many of its locations. Just a couple of years later, Taco Bell rolled out its upscale Cantina locations, where patrons could suck down boozy slushies and beer with their Double Chalupas. Burger King also operates a handful of Whopper Bars, which offer customers burgers with beer pairings. Even Starbucks saw the appeal of serving adult beverages in a fast casual set-up and introduced beer and wine with its Evenings concept in 2010.

It all comes down to cost, risk, and reputation.

Eat'n Park
Eat'n Park closed 6 of their locations in 2019, much to the dismay of fans everywhere. They are primarily located in Ohio and Pennsylvania and have a bit of a cult following.
While the name suggests that you take the food and eat in your car, that is not indeed the case. The chain is known for its Superburgers and Smiley cookies.
They still have 61 locations left, but if this trend continues then we may be seeing even less.
not eat n park

Wait you don't eat and park at eat and park? Probably would have survived if they did.
