Your A List: Best Quick-Service Restaurant

This is an amusing A List category: Best Quick-Service Restaurant.

M5X00056_9.JPG
As any Austinite knows, rapidity is not a quality overvalued at local restaurants. And most of the time, we don’t mind. We’re not in a huge hurry. We are all Europeans now.

Winner of the A List readers poll in this category: Thundercloud. The ancient sub chain served up 17 percent of the tally.

Torchy’s, a newer competitor with its latter-day tacos, nearly caught Thundercloud with 16 percent.

Freebirds — based in College Station but very Austin — rose to 13 percent.

Taco Deli — with its fervent fan base — drummed up 12 percent, while P. Terry’s, the innovative burger joint, hit 11 percent.

Schlotzsky’s, once the pride of Austin, managed just 9 percent. Chilito, younger brother to El Chile, perked dup 8 percent.

Zen: 6 percent. Dan’s: 5 percent. Hog Island: 3 percent.
