5,619 ads from 11 fast food chains in the Meta Ad Library, 4,051 running now.
11 fast food chains have 5,619 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 4,051 of those were running when we read it on October 2, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.
Fast food runs on the limited-time menu item and the app deal, and the chains now push the app harder than the burger, because a downloaded app is a customer they can reach without paying for it again.
The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

People do not book a service, they book a job: one room, one driveway, one visit. The ads that fill a calendar name that job and put an offer beside it, a price, a free quote, or a slot this week. 31 percent of the fast food ads here lead with a price in the ad.
The result is the creative. A before-and-after, the finished job, or a short clip of the work being done stops the scroll faster than a logo or a team photo. In this category video ads lead.
Set a radius around the towns you work in and let Meta find the homeowners inside it. Name the town in the copy: a local name in the first line tells the reader this ad is for them.
"Order now" is the most used button on these ads. Use a call button, an instant form or a booking link, and answer every lead within minutes. The shop that calls back first gets the job.
The median fast food ad here stayed up 21 days. Give a new ad a week of spend before you judge it, then retire what is not getting results and write the next version of what is. The advertisers with the most live ads are the ones testing the most.
This page shows 286 creatives. Meta lists 5,619 for these advertisers, and 4,051 are running right now.
