This paper empirically investigates the most influential attribute between price, service and food quality that influences Malaysian consumers' purchase behaviour of fast food. Using a quantitative approach, the experience of Malaysian young generation was tapped and by using a self-administered survey, 385 questionnaires were successfully collected. Through a series of analyses; frequency, descriptive and linear regression, some useful insights were obtained. The findings clearly revealed that despite support from other previous studies, price, service quality and food quality influence customers purchase behaviour but price is the prominent element that influences young Malaysian customers' purchase behaviour of fast food. Besides enhancing the body of literature, the findings have undoubtedly drawn several practical implications.
