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

    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

    There is a jumja kiosk on the DS9 promenade. It also had a bunch of different restaurants. Klingon and Bajoran are the two i remember off the top of my head.

    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.

    ISS orbits at ~7.66km/s, so technically any pictured food up there can be considered fast food.

    That one is difficult because in star trek they had replicators that could make any food instantly. I’ve never actually watch B5, so can’t speak on that, but at least in the star trek universe, fast food would be pointless unless it was in the Delta or Gamma quadrants because it was never spoken about with the residents there. Good question though

      Voyager mentioned several times that replicator technology was not widely known in the Delta quadrant. They had Neelix cooking slow food to save on replicator energy usage. There were plot points of possible technology trade with the Kazon and others.

    Not technically a Space Station, but there’s a whole Invader Zim episode on an entire planet being dedicated to fast food, Food Courtia iirc

    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.

      As someone who hasn’t really watched the show, I see all sorts of things and just accept it. My brain can not handle it having a society with no money. Capitalism has ruined me

    Wall-E had people ordering liquid fast food on their iPads and having it immediately delivered by drone. So fast food on a space station, but not a conventional restaurant experience i guess.
