    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.

    I could ask Microsoft® Bing™ Copilot® (all rights reserved) to make you one.

    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.

    SS13 has a chef on the station who makes all sorts of food, but mostly pizzas and burgers. I don’t recommend eating their food though, it’s pretty likely it will be made of your coworkers.

      I promise I stuck to making banana bread! So much banana bread. And when frying was a thing, deep fried banana bread!

    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

    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

        Pop a Poppler in your mouth,

        When you come to Fishy Joe’s.

        What they’re made of is a mystery,

        Where they come from, no one knows.

        You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em,

        You can chew 'em, you can stick 'em,

        And if you promise not to sue us,

        You can shove one up your nose.

    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

      How can you forget McBari’s! They only have fresh spoo, but the flarn is out of this world.

    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.
