15 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Gardendale

“The young black lady working behind the counter is one of the nicest people ive met. Terrific chicken in fact all the employees were great especially two yoing men offered for a bag even when i had leftovers headed out. Extremely impressed.“

“Great food, fabulous service, and friendly faces! And, they stay open later!“

“I absolutely love coming to this Chick-fil-A in Gardendale. The facility is always spotless, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is consistently incredible — but that’s something most of America already knows.

What really sets this location apart is the leadership team. They’re top-notch in every way: professional, kind, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile. You can feel the positive culture the moment you walk in.

This is hands-down one of the best Chick-fil-A experiences anywhere. Gardendale is lucky to have this team!“

“Smokehouse Briscat sandwich was AMAZING“

“Yes, with the caveat, bring plenty of money. Fish & Chicken meal with a large drink was $16! Also, don't order green beans - they were straight out of the can. Very disappointing.“

“Kayleigh was amazing! She has such a compassionate and professional attitude!
Tristan made the hamburger absolutely delicious!! I will definitely be returning and recommending this location!! Thank you so much for a job well done!!“

“I decided too try this new location because it's extremely convenient for me, and I see a lot of bad reviews on here. I didn't experience nothing bad, my food was fresh and hot and my dream shake was delicious. I did how ever notice a bunch of younger employees in there and they were looking like they didn't know what was going on. They kept asking me over and over about the ordering screen and even sent an employee out again about my order because they couldn't get it right, but after that they understood. So at least someone came to my car to get a better understanding so I appreciate that. I will come back to this location!!!“

“We come here a couple times a month and are really impressed with the staff. We found out today the managers name is Byron. We just really wanted to commend him for the way he trains his staff and runs this location! They are always nice and the service is quick!“

“The original late night place to grab something to eat at. Not many of these around anymore and well some of the locations that are still around may not actually be open late nowadays. But I still support the lil square bunned burger even when the cost has went from .35 cents each and a combo coming in at around $3.50 from back in the day to now days ur doing good if get a combo for under $10 and if want cheese then another $1 per slice.. But they still hit that spot at times and they always have had the best Cokes and still do of any food place there is..“

“Food was hot and accurate. Manager was friendly. Restaurant appeared clean, including the restroom. The woman standing at the register however doing nothing didn't even great me or say a word to me. She just stood there with a big frown on her face and hand on her hip. Also, why charge $0.40 just to add mayo? I've never been to a McDonald's that charges to remove ketchup, mustard, and add mayo. I just don't think it's fair to charge to substitute a sauce for another. The owners of this location must be very greedy.“

“Why on earth does it take 45min to get your food when the place is drive thru only? That is absurd? You can literally get a live chicken, kill it, pluck it, clean it, cut and batter the thing, then cook it and eat it in less time than to go they y’all’s drive thru.... Please find out what’s being done wrong and fix it“

“Just picked up a bowl today and I have to admit this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at chipotle. The staff was extremely friendly and my order took all of 5 minutes to make. Everything was fresh so I left a tip! I will continue to come here instead of the downtown location.“

“Today 10-06-2023 went to have breakfast with my wife. After waiting at the counter for several minutes, the cashier finally acknowledged me. I tried to order two breakfast plates and she. Told me we don’t have any grits. We left with no food. Service was bad and food was disappointing!!! Not first time to be disappointed, but first time to complain!!!“

“i’ve never been to jersey mikes but i really wanted to try the sub in a tub! the staff all were so kind, and helpful when i said it was my first time and i wasn’t sure how to order. food was delicious! staff had very positive attitudes which made the experience even better“

“Wow, I think this is the best Papa John’s I have been to all around Birmingham. I ordered a large pizza and to papa-dillas today. Both were really fresh tasting, fresh ingredients, perfect temperature, tasted wonderful. I was starting to lose hope in fast food. If you want good pizza near Gardendale, this is the place. Great job!“
