We're just no longer used to the high levels of sodium due to our own cooking here at home, IOW.

We used to like specific places before he became so ill.....Sonic Drive-Thru, Firehouse Subs, and Mixteca (a Mexican food "sit down" restaurant here locally that also has a drive-thru)...but not anymore.
We probably are not as restrictive on salt in our home, but I definitely agree that all fast food tastes super salty to everyone in my family.

Other than that I don't eat fast food.
I love Chipotle. Burrito bowl - brown rice, black beans, fajita veggies, sofritas, Pico de Gallo, green salsa, corn salsa, guacamole, lettuce. Now I’m hungry!!!!

My favorite places are local/regional fast food chains...Jack’s and Milo’s. We only get Milo’s when we go to Birmingham.

Amongst the emerald boughs
And the lemons are like the paleness of a lover

We never noticed it before my husband became so sick (he's better now but still has heart issues, blood clots, and other health concerns), and we stopped eating out pretty much altogether.

Since then, on that rare occasion that we've had something out, it just hits us how salty it all tastes. This possibly also comes from no longer eating as much as we once did, too.

If we are up in Portland around lunch time we will either hit up Jimmy Johns or Arbys.
otherwise we don't eat out at fast food.

We will occasionally go to Chick Fil A, Arby's, FIrehouse Subs, and I'll order from Dominos. We have a place like Moe's near us that we love. It is a locally owned joint that is Gezzo's Grill. It is better than Moe's though. We also have a great local pizza joint called 15th Street. I'm not a pizza fan, but I like theirs. I cook 2-3x a day at least 6 days a week though.
