Both B5 and DS9 had bars on station, but have and space stations have a fast food restaurant?

I think the mess hall with a food replicator is as close as you’re going to find.
What do you think the function is of a fast food restaurant in a society with no money and instant food machines.
This is of course with Earth in mind. I have no doubt there are fast food places on Ferenginar.
Does that count? :)
It’s rare to come across a fellow Chicken Invaders fan
I’m pretty sure there was in Firefly
Fruity Oaty Bars come to mind, but there is no way Blue Sun didn’t also have Fast food restaurants.
There are food kiosks on the Promenade on DS9.
ISS orbits at ~7.66km/s, so technically any pictured food up there can be considered fast food.
And we’re all orbiting the center of the Milky Way at 220km/s. Fast food for everyone!
All food is fast food if your frame of reference is the galactic center
The replimat on ds9?
I seem to remember a scene in Babylon 5 where Vir got sick eating at a place that sounded like a rebranded McDonalds. Londo was chastising him saying you know Centauri stomachs can’t handle fast food. I wish I had time to rewatch that show.
The Minbari fast food restaurant in brown sector named McBari’s with the golden head bone. S5E14
Does the Axiom on Wall-E count as a space station?
It’s five-star, not fast food, but there’s Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, which serves a delicious Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Don’t let the five-stars scare you off:
All you have to do is deposit one penny in a savings account in your own era, and when you arrive at the End of Time the operation of compound interest means that the fabulous cost of your meal has been paid for. (Many claim that this is not merely impossible, but clearly insane.)
This is why the advertising executives of the star system of Bastablon came up with this slogan: "If you’ve done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
Deep Space 9 had food replicators.
There a vending machine on the Mars base in For All Mankind.
The replimat?
There are 2.5 million franchises of Monolith Burger in Space Quest lore! https://spacequest.fandom.com/wiki/Monolith_Burger
There’s at least one instance on futurama where a space ship is flown through a drive-through that’s just out in the vacuum of space
Fishy Joe’s in “The problem with Popplers” iirc.
Pop a Poppler in your mouth,
When you come to Fishy Joe’s.
What they’re made of is a mystery,
Where they come from, no one knows.
You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em,
You can chew 'em, you can stick 'em,
And if you promise not to sue us,
You can shove one up your nose.
