Define better? The beauty of fast food, McD, Hardees, Subway, etc, etc, is they are plentiful and you can grab and go. What you are talking about is a sit down and eat place. Not as plentiful so planning is necessary. Also, for $10 and less, I doubt you are going to get anything good, food wise unless you buy your own meat and cook it yourself at home. Therein lies the convenience issue. When I come home after a 12 hr day that has gone sideways, do I really want to get something to eat that tastes good for the money or piss away money buying great food which I can't enjoy? Here is where a Subway or something is good. Less than $10, I'm not hungry and ready for bed. For lunch, I just want something that doesn't make me hungry and doesn't taste like grass.
If I have the time like a couple hours to kill, no problem.
