I thought about it and Midtown doesn't really have many fast food places at all. I think the only one I can quickly come up with is Chick Fil' a. I checked google maps and there is no Mcdonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, etc in Midtown. Mcdonalds is usually everywhere.

I know this is trivial and all, but why do you guys think there aren't many fast food places in the Midtown district? There are many in downtown, but are lacking in Midtown.

Cost of land and current zoning doesn't incentivize building a typical drive-thru setup. Most of the fast food joints in Downtown are inside complexes like Peachtree Center, GSU, CNN Center, etc.

FWIW, There's also a Checkers on 10th Street @ Spring.

If you include West Midtown, there are 3 fast food joints on Northside and 14 alone.

Also a Subway, King's Deli (bascially American Deli), and a Chinese place that's pretty good too. There are a bunch of empty spaces in the mall that could use new businesses though.
