17 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Elkmont

“10/27/22 I just ordered a Chef's salad from Mike's on Tillman Mill Road. This salad was so good, clean, fresh, well made and packed! It was well worth the price of $8.29 and really hit the spot for me. It is packed with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, carrots, cheese, purple cabbage, cucumbers, eggs, onions and I asked for the grilled ham with it. This is now going to be my go-to place for a great salad. The service is excellent too, they really seem to have a servant's heart. I highly recommend Mike's and if you haven't been by, you are missing a treat!“

“Chick-fil-A Athens is always a bright spot in our day—delicious food, kind service, and a consistent commitment to the community. We’re grateful to have them right here in town!“

“The only negative part of my experience was a long wait in the drive thru line. The food was spectacular and I highly recommend the lobster bites. They are crunchy, buttery and should be a permanent item on the menu, year around. I got a four piece fish dinner with fried okra and macaroni and cheese. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sides were fantastic. The hush puppies were moist and hot. Paired them with a large sweet tea and I had a marvelous dinner.

The staff was super kind and very attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant and it definitely helped quell my seafood craving. I would give it a ten star rating if that was possible. Enjoy!“

“What an amazing experience! We were greeted by the most fabulous woman as our cashier who was just a total gem & made some great recommendations for our meals! Price was way lower than we expected and the food was out before we even sat down. Best food I’ve eaten on the road by far! My entire family loved every bite. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you!“

“Food was good, customer service fast and courteous. Was tables dirty and have little room to welcome many guess. Is one of the smallest McDonald's i have visit on my personal experience.

Recommend the Chicken Big Mac pretty good.“

“Visited this n location on 6.15.25. The GM there is amazing! She walked in after I ordered and noticed how long I had been waiting for my order and asked her staff what was taking so long. They told her they were awaiting on chicken. She told them they needed to make my whole order again so it would be fresh. She apologized that it took longer than expected but no apology was needed. I appreciate her taking minute to see what was going on and using that as a teaching moment for them. I think they should send her to all restaurants sonshe can show them how to operate!“

“Please fill the macaroni and cheese all the way up.“

“I had the country ham biscuit and senior coffee!! Loved it!!“

“It was so refreshing to deal with a staff that not only did there job and did it well, they actually made my dining experience exceptional!!! That is hard to do at a BK. The hwy 72 location, seems like they get mad at you for wanting to order anything. Ardmore BK must be under EXCELLENT MANAGEMENT!!! MY HAT IS OFF TO THE ENTIRE WORKFORCE THE MANAGER HAS IN PLACE!!!“

“I wanted to stop by and give a huge shout out to SAM!!! He is the manager and this Chipotle, Athens location.
The service he provides is top notch and deserves all the recognition. It is an experience and just goes to show (customer) service is EVERYTHING ❣️❣️
He doesn't just provide exceptional service, he goes above and beyond to make sure you're happy and satisfied.
I would go out of my way to make it to this location just for the vibes!

Thank you Sam and the Chipotle team for showing that kindness and compassion is still possible in these tough times we live in. God bless🤍“

“Not sure his name but I know he was a new employee and he was from Louisiana, been living with his mom in Tennessee and now at his dads in Athens. He is a great and pleasant asset to Arbys there in Athens! Hopefully he gets to visit Pappadeaux and hopefully he’s a long term employee! I ordered the Fish and he took the time to come over and see how it was and was a present conversation!“

“Quick service and great food and a clean restaurant.“

“We frequent this Pizza Hut location because we like the way they prepare the food even though there are 2 other Pizza Hut locations and countless other pizza shops much closer to us. However, this time they failed us big time! I ordered online at 6:00 PM for a 6:45 pickup and drove 30 minutes only to be told to return in 20-30 minutes because "you know how technology is..." and some other BS why they were just then making our pizza. My wife and I drove over to a nearby park and talked to pass the time but then it took an additional 20-30 minutes to actually get the pizza once we returned to the store. The young lady at the pick up window was working her best "cutesy" routine as she BS-ed us as if we were idiots. It's a rather long story but in the end she withheld our food an additional 15 minutes or so because we asked to speak with a manager (which we simply gave up on because we were hungry). We've been coming to this Pizza Hut location for years, but I think we will try one of the other locations the next time.
EDIT: I bumped the review up 2 stars because the manager contacted me and invited me back to the store with some store credit. We visited last night and had our usual good experience.

2nd EDIT, 11/8/24: We continue to get excellent food and service from this location and still drive 30 minutes each way to get it. I bumped the Stars up to five stars because they consistently provide excellent service.“

“I ordered inside and they were extremely busy. Despite that they were very fast and very nice! Made it exactly as I asked and we chatted while we waited for the sandwiches to toast. The lady manager was very efficient and communicative to her newer people it seemed. Great experience!“

“been eating here for a long long time and have never had anything but great service and food. Athens is lucky to have such great people working here ! keep up the good work !!“
