Each chain offered a different menu item, but Burger King is my favorite value and deserves the overall win.

Although the menu items were the same from each chain’s restaurant, the meals I received were all very different in taste, value and ingredients.
Burger King was the best value. Although my meal cost nearly half that of McDonald’s, I prefer the McDonald’s taste. The burger and fries were my favorite, and I found the meal to be more enjoyable and delicious.
Wendy’s chicken nuggets were also a hit with me. These were some of the crispiest I have ever tasted. Its fries were great value, even though they were a bit undersalted.
In the end, I was pleased with all three meals — though I now know which one gives the best bang for your buck.
