The WORST Rated Fast Food Restaurant in Iowa and the U.S.

Before we begin any discussion on the best or worst fast-food restaurants, let's get one thing straight. We really shouldn't be eating at these restaurants that often. Honestly, the only reason I hate on a fast-food restaurant is when they don't get my order right. So based on customer satisfaction, which fast-food spot is the worst in Iowa?

The ratings were compiled in a study done by Jeff Bet. They looked at the top 250 fast-food restaurant chains in the United States and then ranked them based on customer reviews on Tripadvisor. Customers could rate a restaurant between 1 and 5, with a five being the best. Here are the worst-rated fast-food restaurants in the state of Iowa.

5. Taco Bell - Rating of 3.276 - Iowa Locations: 57

Yes, I know. It's Courtlin's favorite and I stop here a lot too. And despite the rating, nothing beats a late-night burrito run!

4. Long John Silver's - Rating of 3.166 - Iowa Locations: 8

There are only a few Iowa locations remaining. I still remember craving their hush puppies and breaded chicken.

3. McDonalds - Rating of 3.024 - Iowa Locations: 131

Behold, the gold arches. If you're anything like me, you grew up going to McDonalds. I remember getting countless Happy Meals for my kids too. They are part of the American fabric.

2. Burger King - Rating of 3.011 - Iowa Locations: 21

The Whopper is iconic and the Impossible Whopper is a favorite in my household. Plus, I can't say no to their onion rings.

1. Kentucky Fried Chicken - Rating of 2.958 - Iowa Locations: 45

Ouch, KFC. The only fast-food restaurant rated below a rating of 3. But who can resist a famous bowl? Or the mashed potatoes and coleslaw? But the stats don't lie. KFC is the lowest-rated fast-food restaurant in Iowa and the entire United States. Sorry Colonel.
