The data regarding the attitude of adolescents and adults were collected by a questionnaire, the validity and reliability of which were determined. The data were then analyzed using SPSS software, with Levene's test, T-Test and Pearson correlation coefficient. 49.5% of the participants were adolescents and the rest were adults. The findings showed that there is no significant difference between the adolescent and adult groups with regard to the internal and external characteristics of fast food, except for public brand image; however, there is a significant difference between the two age groups regarding attitude toward fast food. Moreover, the positive relation between customer satisfaction and internal and external characteristics of fast food and word-of-mouth intention was proved.
