Top Canadian Fast Food Menu Items

Lobster rolls

Lobster rolls are usually served with lobster, seasoning, lettuce and mayo inside a toasted bread roll. McDonald’s makes a mean lobster roll which is popular throughout the lobster season. One of the best places for fast food lobster rolls is Nova Scotia, where the freshly-caught lobster is perfection. 

Tim Hortons

Tim Hortons is a favourite stop for coffee and food for many people who fall in love with the taste of their irresistible offerings. The Canadian multinational fast food restaurant chain is in most provinces, and you don’t need to go far to find one. You can also find it in many overseas countries. Everyone loves their mouthwatering donuts, juicy sandwiches and hot and cold specialty coffees. When you need a fast caffeine fix drive-through is the best. If you have more time sitting down inside the restaurant is nice because some of their food isn’t so easy to eat in the car like the messy but tasty chilli with bread.

A&W

A&W introduced Canada to the wonderful world of fast food and is much-loved by many Canadians and visitors to the country. Chow down on crunchy onion rings, root beer and the best burgers at this fast-food chain with a great reputation. The grass-fed beef is a great selling point and they also do an excellent breakfast with breakfast wraps, hash browns, bacon and eggs, pancakes and breakfast-style burgers. They always have lots of special promotions and cleverly market to kids like McDonald’s and Burger King do.

Pita Pit

When it comes to Canadian fast food, Pita Pit might be one of Canada’s healthiest fast food places, with Lebanese-style pita sandwiches full of fresh vegetables, roasted meats, and mouthwatering sauces. Since opening its first location in 1995 in Kingston, Ontario, it has grown fast in popularity. 

Second Cup

Founded in Toronto in 1975, Second Cup is a fast-food chain serving up hot and cold specialty drinks, snacks, desserts and more. With hundreds of locations all over Canada, it shouldn’t be too hard to find one during your travels. It’s also overseas in many countries, including the United States, Morocco, Egypt, Romania, Pakistan, the Philippines, Bangladesh and Poland.

Beaver Tails

Beavertails are fried dough pastries shaped like beaver tails. They are a delicious snack rather than a meal. You can add your preferred toppings like cinnamon sugar, chocolate and banana. 

Fried Chicken

Fried chicken can be so good when it’s done right. Quality cooking oil that is fresh is key. It can be presented in so many ways, including chicken nuggets, burgers, chicken pieces and chicken wraps. It is one of the few fast food that taste as good cold as it does hot. 

Most fast-food joints in Canada serve fried chicken. We have a bit of a thing for Dairy Queen fried chicken because it’s always the perfect combo of crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. 

Pizza

Canadian chefs like to put their local twist on this is Italian fast food. We’ve seen venison pizzas and seafood pizzas with locally-grown meat and produce toppings. 

Maple Bacon Donuts

Forget the diet because Maple Bacon Donuts are everything. These delectable donuts can be found at SuzyQ Doughnuts. If you are not Canadian, you might think the combination sounds strange, but after you try it, you will be hooked. Maple syrup, bacon and donuts are the food combo you didn’t know you needed.

Poutine

Finally, we couldn’t talk about Canadian fast food without mentioning poutine. The irresistible plate of French fries, cheese and gravy is considered a national dish by many people. It’s packed with calories and a yummy treat for sure. You can find it everywhere from restaurants, food trucks, food courts and markets.

If you have a craving and can’t find a fast food joint serving poutine, its simple to make at home. Most grocery stores sell poutine gravy mix or sauce. Cook the French fries and pour on the cheese curds and gravy.
