35 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Madison

“Cava in Madison is excellent! I am not a big fan of Mediterranean food, but my wife loves Cava. I finally went with her and it was amazing! I liked that I could choose what I wanted to put in it versus a premade meal, and it helps to know that all the ingredients for the most part are healthy, which is important for me as a plant-based eater. I wish I remember the manager’s name but she gave me an amazing first time customer deal that day (note: I did not and am not saying there’s always a first time customer deal, so please don’t go in demanding one 🤣)! It was also very clean and the ambience was nice. Five star rating! Would go back again!“

“Freddy’s in Madison, Al! 🙂“

“I cannot rave enough about “The Bomb” sandwich!! So delicious/flavorful! Yum! They are also very attentive and kind to their customers. Definitely earned this 5 ⭐️ review!!“

“$12 for dinner and lunch the next day and it’s healthy! Great experience and delicious pizza! I got the mod size with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, olive oil, oregano, basil, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, arugula, spinach, banana peppers, pepperoni, black olives, pineapple, and garlic. I’m always surprised this place isn’t more crowded.“

“Hello! I came in today at 1:18. I’ve had five guys a couple of times, so not very familiar with the menu. I ordered a hamburger with onions and pickles and a little fry. But then I forgot to tell the cashier I wanted cheese on it. All the ladies were SUPER sweet. Smiled and waved when I came in and adjusted my order even though I forgot. My meal was so good! Even though a little pricy😅. I just want to thank their team for the great hospitality because I have social anxiety and they made my order very easy!“

“Excellent Service!!! The employees/ owner are always friendly and accommodating 😁“

“Rashad Newbie was a great welcome and friendly face at the drivers pickup window who showed great service. I will definitely be back.“

“I was craving Mexican food and I’m so happy I found this food truck their food is amazing love the Birria tacos and the beans were sooo good I’ve never had beans like this anywhere. I will definitely be going back. The cashier and the cook were also very kind when taking my order“

“this location is great! the food is always great and the employees are so kind! definitely recommend!“

“This is some of the best street tacos and ceviche I have had. I ordered VIA DoorDash and The ceviche was cold and fresh and bright and perfectly seasoned. The al pastor tacos were INCREDIBLE like genuinely to die for. They threw in chips salsa and queso and the queso was DELICIOUS the rice and beans were everything and more. This place has a new regular. Beats out all of the food trucks in the area“

“We went to Dairy Queen in Madison and I can’t say enough good things about the staff and manager. They went above and beyond to help my son who was recovering from a tonsillectomy.“

“Everytime I get my favorite food from Chick Fil-a I try to remind myself what took me so long since the last time. I love their food. I love their values. All the staff in any locations I've been to in 3 states have been kind to me. I am very anxious to talk to strangers and order my food in a line (scared I'll hold it up too long) I never feel rushed, disrespected or talked down to. Thank you always, Chick Fil-a.“

“My very first job was a Hardee's, And aside from the biscuit job which they always assigned to a nice little old lady, I could do every position in the store so I know what it takes to run it smoothly! I must say I am always impressed with the manager that Is always there every time I come, I'm not sure his name which is rude of me.. But he's always beautifully juggling the drive through and the room in the mornings, And I think I've even seen him jump on the line to make an order. Today my Frisco breakfast sandwich was so delightful the ham had such a beautiful fresh smoky flavor and It was as close to instantaneous as you possibly could get the delivery to me that is. This is the second time this week I have gotten breakfast, And I normally Do not eat fast food but the rare occasion That time requires me To make this decision, I like Hardee's because I know those biscuits are handmade. However, I have found myself coming to this location more because of this very amazing manager. If his hand is involved in making your breakfast it just turns out delightful and he does it with such ease it blows my mind I can remember working and being in such a hurry and this man just floats through the restaurant with beautiful ease and he's incredibly nice every time I see him. To me this alone will keep me coming back.. I enjoy someone who at least seems to enjoy their job and wants to provide me With good quality food versus just throwing it out there as fast as possible for a good drive through time.. somehow this man can do both things without cutting quality .. He gets it done fast but he gets it done beautifully my sandwich looked like a picture. He floats I tell you he floats.
Hardee's needs to give this man a raise.
I can almost see myself working fast food again because this man makes it look like a good job That I would have Pride in.
Thanks 😊“

“Called to let them know that half of my order was missing. Manager: "OK thank you, anything else for you" She said more than she knows. If that's management, well sh%# you know who the employees are. Can't count to 4. She told you she got it, Greg. She didn't!“

“I specifically and purposely pass up the Jacks on Wall Triana and travel 15 minutes out of my way to go to this specific Jack's location. The other location is absolutely horrible and has been for some time now. The Hughes Rd location though?? Always great drive thru service and correct orders along with fresh food! Please keep up the good work! Management truly makes a world of difference in any restaurant!“

“Last weekend, the manager at this location went out of his way to help me resolve an issue with placing an order in the app. He was incredibly attentive and welcoming, and I really appreciated that he recognized me as a regular. His level of customer service and hospitality truly made the experience stand out.“

“I’ve been eating at Subways since the 80s. I don’t eat there much but have in many states and cities around the country. I’d challenge you to find a subway cleaner and more stocked. I was blown away when I walked in today to get a sandwich. I was the only customer in there at the time and the young woman on staff wasn’t playing on a phone or diddling her thumbs. She was cleaning. The pride of ownership was on full display. I’d definitely go back. Great job.“

“Taco Bell is usually a place where if your order is wrong you just suck it up and move on because the employees are usually not very kind.
That was not my experience here. I had a huge order in the drive thru for my family. Instead of nacho fries I was given the potatoes with sour cream on them. I went inside understanding they were probably out of fries and just wanting to see if the potatoes could be made without sour cream. Every one was so pleasant and it wasn’t quite clear why I was given potato’s (I had a big order so I can understand with such a long line at dinner time that mistakes happen) but they said they would have my fries that I ordered up in a few minutes and apologized for the error.“

“I ordered the 3 meats (fish sandwich)in a box special. The curly fries were fresh and hot, the peach cobbler roll was really good, but the fish sandwich was not good, it was not hot or fresh and the fish sandwich is my favorite.
I was really disappointed“

“pastor street tacos are best I've ever ate!“

“Went this am on 2/3/2026, and let me tell you. The 3 ladies in there were So Professional, Courteous and Hospitable. While waiting for my 2 sandwiches, turkey sub and a chicken Khahunah, I was able to visibly see the cleanliness, attention to detail and making the Absolute Perfect sandwiches. The harmony was felt amongst them and the Absolute Flow is to be imitated by other restaurants. I will Absolutely go back. Thank you ladies. Wrong Store. Meant for 12008“

“We ordered two trays online (1 toasted and 1 cold) thinking that “toasted” would be warm/steamed like in the restaurant. When I picked them up, the bread was toasted and then put in the cooler. When I explained what I had wanted, David was more than willing to accommodate me but told me I’d have to wait about 15 minutes. I totally understood that, but he insisted on giving me a gift card to make up for my wait. Cameron set about remaking the tray of subs using steamed meat and cheese! David and Cameron are two of the best!!! They kept apologizing about how long I had to wait. They were so quick to correct the order!“

“Trell *sp., was so pleasant of a young man., great manners. And I saw him 1st hand have to save the day when someone took the wrong bag of food (I guess doordash) he made a couple jokes and got right on it to put the customer at ease. Also gave me a solid recommendation on the most meat sub the JJ..“

“🚨This is my go to Subway. The manager is so cool and professional. I have never came across an employee that was having a bad day. They seem to love working there. Rarely do I find a Subway with a 100 Health Score but this one had one. Everything is always so clean and bread and veggies are always fresh. Cookies are fresh too.“

“This Chick-fil-A is clean, friendly, and has fast service. We especially love to see Amy when we dine in. She’s so sweet and helpful!“

“The Clift Farm location always provides tasty food and great service. Yet each time we go, the portion of Fries gets smaller. A large fry here leaves no leftovers. Other locations a medium leaves some leftover.

Update. After 2 weeks their fries are back to normal sizes.“

“A lady named Cassandra was absolutely amazing, she said thanks to everyone that walked in as well as took care of a lady who was ordering in front of me who seemed to be going into labor. She went above and beyond and I really appreciate it!!“

“My family and I visited this Subway today, and we were really impressed. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained. We ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch, BMT, and Tuna subs — all were delicious! Mrs. Rose, the manager, was incredibly helpful and kind. We really appreciated the excellent service and will definitely be coming back next time“

“The only reason why I am not giving a full 5 stars across the border is because my food took forever to come out. The young lady when she did bring my food out said they had to drop more fries. That was fine considering my fries were pipping hot. If it was not for the wait, this location would have received all 5's“

“This subway is freaky fast and the workers engage with you like your family. The line was out the door and I was the last person in line. I looked down to check the time on my phone and the next thing I know I was eating my sub. They were beyond friendly and professional. I just wish the location wasn't so remote. My favorite artists are Carlos, Ced and Jordan! I don't know what their getting paid but I feel like their talents aren't being compensated enough. $⬆️“

“Love this firehouse! The employees have always been courteous and kind. I’ve never had someone be rude or have a bad tone here. They get my order right around 9/10 and if they don’t get it perfect it’s usually really close. Great team and gets my order done quick!“

“Kudos to your delivery person who knows how to follow instructions! Last night I watched my grandkids. Their parents ordered the kids online a large cheese pizza which was delivered fast, hot and looked delicious. Under special delivery instructions my son-in-law wrote: “Tell me I’m beautiful.” Well the delivery person did and made my night😂. Only later did I find out why! Oh we all had a good laugh at that. I bet the delivery person was embarrassed afterwards. Gullible me thought he was sincere 😂😂😂😂“
