10 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Calera

“The last two years, all the Milo locations I’ve visited have really gone downhill. Nothing like the previous decades. Shame! Staff at Calera was non responsive. Cahaba heights , burgers were dried out like they had been sitting and fries as well. Sorry to say that too many of this experience for me to go back.“

“Excellent customer service, very clean, great food. Chick-fil-A can’t be beat! Had my order ready before I left the counter and offered to carry it to the table for me. Someone in the dining room asked twice during our meal if we needed anything and was making sure the dining area was clean.“

“I’m grateful to the staff here. It’s rare to find a gem like them. We come in once a week. They are great with my 10 year old special needs son. The customer service is above and beyond. The restaurant is always so clean. They treat us like family. Thank you management and staff for all you do. One young lady employee even visits with me to check and see how I’m doing. She encourages me and is a light of positivity. We love yall.“

“We've always loved Arby's, food is always fresh. They have a great selection to choose from. I love their gyros . They don't skimp of the roast beef sandwiches which are great with the melted cheese and Arby's sauce.

Parking: Great location next to the hospital which makes it soon convenient to dash over to after you've not been able to eat for a test or something

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get in and out“

“Cashier Hayle was awesome“

“I haven't had a Bojangles in probably 10 years so I figured I'd give it a try well the local store and the service and people were nice enough at the window although they don't hand out napkins or utensils and I had to go back twice because I even forgot cuz I thought they were in the bag already so be warned when you get up to the window ask them for utensils and napkins which normally would come with your meal this location you have to ask for that the food as far as the chicken was very very good mac and cheese not so good and the potato rounds were good overall not great but okay the biscuits are stale and hard and seems like they were Heating in the heater all day long so beware the biscuits around the edges they're almost strong enough to break your teeth so I got caught up with my Bojangles experience and it was just okay the staff by the way is wonderful they just need to hand out napkins and utensils.“

“Great service, great food, generous portions. Did not leave hungry.“

“Thank you so much! No matter how busy you get, you never forget to protect your customers. My son has a pineapple allergy, and every time you see our name — even without me reminding you — you use a clean knife to prevent any cross-contamination. That level of care means everything to us and helps avoid potential ER visits.

Our pizza is always made correctly, and the one time we ordered delivery and the driver left the pizza on the porch without notifying us, your team corrected the issue immediately.

We truly appreciate you all. Thank you again for your care and consistency!“

“Calera Alabama Zaxby’s has an outstanding staff and manager. We stopped on a vacation and we were delighted with the customer service and excellent salad! Thanks! Mark and Yvonne.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I ordered the breaded chicken sandwich with waffle buns, and it was a really solid, creative meal. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right, and the waffles worked surprisingly well as the bread—warm, soft, and slightly sweet.

The flavors and concept were on point, and it was filling and satisfying overall. The only thing that held it back from a perfect score was that it didn’t include the honey glaze for the chicken, which would’ve really elevated the sandwich and tied everything together.

Still a great dish and definitely worth trying. I’d order it again—hopefully with that honey glaze next time.“
