One fast-food chain was recently named the worst in America, and it might come as a surprise to you.

When it comes to fast-food restaurants, there are no shortages whatsoever in the United States, especially in Indiana. Everyone has their go-to fast-food restaurant. Burgers, tacos, pizza, chicken, and other options at these fast food chains in the state are the perfect meal when you're in a rush. That being said, not all fast-food chains are created equal, right? Some are definitely better than others, and there are quite a few that you downright avoid. It's different for everyone. So, to name a restaurant the worst fast food chain in America is pretty subjective.

The Worst Fast-Food Chain in America

While it's somewhat subjective, the savings website Coupon Birds poured over Google reviews from 160,000 chain restaurants to find out which are actually worth it—and America has decided which restaurant is the worst. This restaurant has about 376 locations in the U.S., with five of those locations right here in Indiana. It received the worst chain title, thanks to its 2.61 average rating. Drumroll please...

The worst fast-food chain in America, according to Coupon Birds, is none other than Taco John's.

Again, this is somewhat subjective, so if you are a diehard Taco John's fan, don't take it to heart. While I can't say that Taco John's is my favorite fast-food chain, it's certainly not the worst. I mean, have you ever had the Potato Olés with nacho cheese?! Those are delicious!
