This is probably a weird topic but I'll go ahead and say. Is it weird for you people if you ate alone in a fancy restaurant or even some place like a KFC or McDonalds? Just a question out of curiosity.

Nope. Why would it be? I ate Pizza at local restaurant in Saturday after I watched Rally at Himos.

I find nothing wrong with someone wanting to get something to eat.

The reason why I was asking is because I'm going for a 2 hour walk as well as stopping by at a KFC so I'm worried in case people give me weird looks.

Step 1. Turn the 2 hour walk into a run.
Step 2. Go to KFC before the run and take the food out.
Step 3. Run and eat the chicken.
Step 4. ? ? ?
Step 5. PROFIT

Your problem is you care what strangers think of you and you're afraid of being judged, you shouldn't.
The truth is 90% of people around you won't care even the slightest what others are doing.
As for the remaining 10%

learn to ignore such people.

If I see you at my KFC, I will laugh at you, and I will encourage others to laugh.

This is probably a weird topic but I'll go ahead and say. Is it weird for you people if you ate alone in a fancy restaurant or even some place like a KFC or McDonalds? Just a question out of curiosity.

It probably has something to do with my personality, but I feel hugely uncomfortable going alone to a restaurant. I dunno, it just shouts out to the world "I COULDN'T FIND ANYONE TO GO HERE WITH ME!!!!!" Or maybe it's because I don't like the waiter exclusively talking to me because I dislike IRL social interactions in general. Or maybe it's because I'm beta and an economist - when you put those two things together, all you can think about is that the space and servers are finite, and this table would be much more efficiently occupied by a couple or group.

Sit-down restaurants like KFC and McDonald's are a different story - it's normal to order your food, pay, and keep to yourself while you eat.

Here's a question to get insight into your personality: You go into a movie theater and it's completely empty except for one stranger. Where do you sit relative to the stranger? My answer is "as far away as possible."

I love going to the restaurant by myself when I got the money. I wanna shout out to the world "I COULDN'T FIND ANYONE TO GO HERE WITH ME!!!!!"

I hate eating alone in public. It's not so bad at a coffee shop if I have my iPad and some headphones, but otherwise, it just sucks.
