Actually, that's why fast food places don't put prices on their websites. 
Prices fluctuate around the country depending upon how much a specific 
establishment has to pay for what gets brought in.  For instance....  My 
former local McD's charged $.99 for a fish sandwich.  I took a trip to 
Arizona and was stunned that the local McD's there charged $2.99 for the 
same sandwich!  It was nothing different - the fish patty, half a slab of 
american cheese, tons of tartar sauce (which I promply removed), and the 
"wonder" bun.  For $2.99 I would have hoped for some lettuce or a better 
bun, at least.

But menus vary between fast food restaurants around the country, as well. 
In Hawaii, McD's serves ****tuguese sausage and rice breakfast plates, 
chicken katsu, or fish plate lunches with rice and macaroni salad and I've

also heard that up in Maine, McD's serves a lobster roll.
