In the U.S., children regularly consume foods from quick service restaurants (QSRs), but little is known about the marketing strategies currently used inside QSRs. This study aims to validate a child-focused Environmental Assessment Tool (EAT) for QSRs, evaluate marketing strategies inside and on the exterior of QSRs, and examine differences by community race/ethnicity or income. The inter-rater and test–retest reliability of EAT were assessed across the top 5 national QSR chains. Marketing techniques in 165 QSRs (33 per national chain) in socioeconomically and racially/ethnically diverse communities throughout New England were examined in 2018–2019. Mixed methods ANOVA examined differences in marketing techniques in 2020. The inter-rater and test-retest reliability of the EAT were high (Cohen’s κ>0.80). Approximately 95% of QSRs marketed less healthy foods whereas only 6.5% marketed healthy options. When examining differences by community demographics, there were significantly more price promotion ads inside and on the exterior of QSRs in lower-income communities. Additionally, there was a greater number of child-directed ads with cartoon or TV/movie characters, as well as fewer healthy entrée options and more sugar-sweetened beverage and dessert options on the children’s menu inside QSRs in communities with higher minority populations. EAT is a valid tool to evaluate marketing inside QSRs. Results suggest there is a substantial amount of unhealthy food and beverage marketing inside QSRs, with differences in the number and types of techniques used in lower-income and minority communities. Policies that limit QSR marketing to children should be considered.
