A Sample of 384 respondents was drawn using the convenience sampling technique and for each sub city the total questionnaire was distributed accordingly. To analyze the collected data both descriptive including percentage and cross tabulation and inferential statistics technique including correlation and regression analysis were applied. The finding of this research indicated that product attribute, life style, convenience and health concern were found to be positively and significantly affecting to influence consumer attitude towards fast food in Ethiopia. Furthermore the regression analysis has revealed that product attribute, life style and convenience were influencing factors in consumer attitude towards fast food in Ethiopia but for the effect of health concern was not statistically significant.
