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
Even though it’s not a space station, the Mickey D’s in The Fifth Element would probably be close.
Doctor who (2005) s01e07 - Kronkburgers on Satellite 5 in the opening scenes.
There are 2.5 million franchises of Monolith Burger in Space Quest lore! https://spacequest.fandom.com/wiki/Monolith_Burger
ISS orbits at ~7.66km/s, so technically any pictured food up there can be considered fast food.
All food is fast food if your frame of reference is the galactic center
And we’re all orbiting the center of the Milky Way at 220km/s. Fast food for everyone!
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 replicator kiosk 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 the space ones look like fast food though. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Restaurant
Futurama has Fishy Joe’s. Other than the episode with the Popplers, I’ve only seen it as a space station in the background of some scenes.
Does the Axiom on Wall-E count as a space station?
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.
The Expanse depicts a lot of local street food vendors on different space stations throughout the solar system
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
In Outer Worlds there’s a couple establishments aboard the groundbreaker that could potentially count as fast food by some definition.
The stand on the citadel in mass effect is maybe fast food-ish
I vaguely remember seeing some stands in the background of Babylon 5 that could potentially have been something like fast food, but I never got into Babylon 5 too much so I can’t say much about that, I just have some vague memories of some parts I’ve seen that looked like fast food wouldn’t be out of place.
Pretty much any time there’s a big space station with a city-like interior I assume there’s probably something like fast food somewhere on board, maybe even visible in the background somewhere, though I can’t really think of any particular examples or any time it was specifically highlighted
The Spaceburger looks pretty dope.
Starfield has Chunks, a full on fast food chain with multiple locations. Some are on space stations, some are on planets.
You can also find their vacuum-sealed food everywhere.
There a vending machine on the Mars base in For All Mankind.
