Both B5 and DS9 had bars on station, but have and space stations have a fast food restaurant?
Does that count? :)
It’s rare to come across a fellow Chicken Invaders fan

It’s five-star, not fast food, but there’s Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, which serves a delicious Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Don’t let the five-stars scare you off:
All you have to do is deposit one penny in a savings account in your own era, and when you arrive at the End of Time the operation of compound interest means that the fabulous cost of your meal has been paid for. (Many claim that this is not merely impossible, but clearly insane.)
This is why the advertising executives of the star system of Bastablon came up with this slogan: “If you’ve done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.”
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!
I could ask Microsoft® Bing™ Copilot® (all rights reserved) to make you one.
There a vending machine on the Mars base in For All Mankind.
There are food kiosks on the Promenade on DS9.
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?
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
Fishy Joe’s in “The problem with Popplers” iirc.
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
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 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.
The Minbari fast food restaurant in brown sector named McBari’s with the golden head bone. S5E14
Even though it’s not a space station, the Mickey D’s in The Fifth Element would probably be close.
The replimat?
