Some of the most beloved fast-food chains in the US are based in the Midwest.
From Culver's ButterBurgers to Skyline Chili's loaded "three-way," the chains pack big flavor.

The Midwest is known for its small towns and farmlands, but it's also home to delicious food.

Here are some fast-food chains from the Midwest that we wish were available across the country.

Note: Some of these chains have a few locations outside the Midwest, but since they're based in the Midwest and primarily serve that region of the US, they're included on this list.
