The last time I bought from them (a few years ago now), I chose to buy an item from them instead of Amazon, to support less monolithic companies and because they used to have good reputation. I did this even though it was a few dollars more for the same item (like $23 vs $20, I think it was a dvd drive). It turns out they were just buying the Amazon item and reselling it at the higher price, it arrived in the original Amazon box with a new shipping label slapped on top.
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
