These are the fast food restaurants I can think of off the top of my head:
1. McDonald's
2. Burger King
3. Taco Bell
4. In 'n' Out Burger
5. Dairy Queen
6. Sonic
7. Wendy's
8. Arby's
9. Jack in the Box
10. KFC
11. A&W
12. Del Taco
13. White Castle
14. Popeye's
15. Fatburger
16. Carl's Junior
17. Hardee's
18. Chick-Fil-A
19. El Pollo Loco
20. Church's Chicken
21. Starbuck's
22. Tommy's
23. Der Wienerschnitzel
24. Orange Julius
It's hard to draw the line between the chains and the pure fast food restaurants. Subway, for example, is a fast food restaurant, but I've never a Subway with a drive-through. One of my favorite fast food restaurants is CouCouRoo. All fresh ingredients and very good food, but again, I've never known one with a drive-through. And then there are the pizza parlours, the fast food Chinese places, and Starbuck's. I know a Starbuck's with a drive-through window in Grapevine, California. It's the only one I've ever seen with one, but it definitely exists.
My number one favorite fast food place is Pret-a-Manger, which has a number of outlets in London, a few in New York, and at least one in California--in Beverly Hills. Again, no drive-through, but they make the best sandwiches with great, fresh fruits and vegetables. They even give what they can't sell to the homeless.
I'm from Southern California, and I remember when there were only a few branches of McDonald's. That was before Ray Kroc got involved and made it an international phenomenon. It was fun watching the number of burgers served go from the thousands to the millions to the billions. They've finally given up, and if they do announce a number served, it's "billions and billions."
My favorite fast food hamburgers are served in In-'n'-Out Burger, though I also like Fatburger and Tommy's. I'm not much of a hot dog fan (I know that's heresy!), but the ones I like best are at Pink's in Los Angeles. Again, a fast food restaurant with no drive-through. I'm not much of a fan of Der Wienerschnitzel.
Anyway, that's my brief list, including ones that I know for sure have drive-throughs. I'll bet at least one of the other answerers can think of twice as many!
