Fast food was a type of food and a restaurant service developed on Earth. The food was quickly prepared.

This was listed by Tom Paris as one of the many things he loved about Earth's 20th century (Star Trek Cookbook).

Beginning in the mid-22nd century, Orions had a love for Earth's fast food after the UNSS Marco Polo sold them a cargo of it on reference stardate 0/7907.27 (c. 2150) (FASA RPG module: The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge).
