Golden Corral
Hardee's (HQ in Missouri. However founded & HQ'd in NC until 1990s)
Hwy 55/Andy's
Krispy Kreme (Yes, that is a NORTH CAROLINA thing, y'all other states and Dunk in Donuts chomping faces could NEVA)
PDQ (Chicken Tender Place like Zaxby's)
Smithfield's Chicken & BBQ
Others:
Moe's SW grill
Waffle House
Chick-Fil-A
Zaxby's
(If you count the Mason Dixon line as the border) Five Guys
Krystal (though there are NO locations in NC)
Popeye's (IF you count Louisiana as the South although their HQ is in Atlanta)
(If you count Texas as the South)Church's Chicken, Whataburger, Chicken Express
(Again, if you count Louisiana as the South) Raising Cane's although that chain seems more Midwestern to me.Zaxby's>>>>>
Mellow Mushroom pizza
I know the west might come with a list BUT When will the north????
