I'd agree with this also! Mc Donald''s salads are awful and tasteless.

If I want a salad, I will generally head to one of thej local supermarkets and buy one there. They are generally larger, fresher, and cheaper.

Winco Foods has great sandwiches and salads prepared.

Carl's Jr. has a very nice roasted chicken breast salad.

Especially with the apple cider dressing. Chick-fil-a is probably one of the best, though Zaxby's is pretty good too.

Wendy's has a good one. It has apple, roasted pecans, dried cranberries, crumbled blue cheese and grilled chicken with a pomegranate vinaigrette. I can now make it at home since I found the dressing (Marzetti) online and ordered it.

Chick fil a's "Grilled Market Salad" looks very tempting..... but is it really $9???? For that, I hope it's the entire garden!

I have never had a bad salad from Wendy's. They always use nice fresh spring greens instead of only pale old iceberg. I am frequently disappointed when they discontinue a favorite salad. I loved their Southwest Salad, but they changed it to Baja and by now they've probably changed it again.
The chop salad from subway is fine, but nothing special. Panera salads are usually good.

Default Ratings of Salads at Fast Food Restaurants

Personally, I don't think any Fast Food Restaurants have good salads. In fact, none of them are known for their salads, unless you're talking about taco or burrito bowls or salads at Chipotle, Freebirds, and Qdoba. But just for rating, these are my critiques of different fast food restaurant salads

McDonald's: 2.5-3/5 stars. They're bad, but they're not horrible or God Awful. There was a Southwest Salad I ordered there one time that actually tasted pretty good (decent). F-D

Wendy's: .5/5 stars. Absolute Crap. Their salads taste like someone puked on them. Their use of sauces is horrible as well. I don't like BBQ sauce on my salad, but even the BBQ sauce tasted fake. F

Chick Fil-A: 3.5/5 stars. These salads are actually pretty good. C

Jack N the Box: Never tried it. Needs an experience

All the other fast food restaurants I am not sure of.

Though not the "typical fast food place" I would suggest Panera Bread. Their half-size salads (about the same size as Wendy's) go for around $6 and the full sizes around $8. The ingredients are fresher and made to order along with a nice hunk of bread and they have great dressings.
