Comment on Has there been a depiction of fast food on a space station?

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.

Star Trek still has traditionalists and hobbyists that prepare food without replicators. Sisko’s father famously ran a Cajun restaurant in New Orleans. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone ran a fast food burger shop because “the fries just don’t crunch the same from a replicator” or something.

It also would be possible to have something like a drive-through replicator shop, which would be like fast food.

There are a few restaurants mentioned on the wiki, but they don’t distinguish between traditional preparation and replicator food (it includes Quark’s on the list). None of them look like fast food though. memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Restaurant
