45 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Montgomery

“Customer service at this Montgomery location was absolutely top notch...which really stands out in our current times when staffing is bare bones and so many of the normal niceties of dining out are missing. Thank you for a genuinely great experience today Montgomery Burgerfi!! We spoke to the manager and he spoke with such pride and honor to serve people with quality service, even his employees exemplified this attitude. Again, a great experience!“

“Before I forget to post this. There is no other friendlier drive-tru guy like the blonde guy Peter! I dont feel rushed but I understand the busy times I cant hold him for a chat. Thank you!“

“love this place... good food“

“I rarely am so impressed can't stop talking about it. And, I despise the Cathy's. Their politics are abhorrent. Disgraceful. But, wow does this Chick-fil-A do it right. Just, a model of how to do fast food. Crazy efficiency. 4 kids taking orders outside. Long lines that move at break neck speed. Delicious food, hot and fresh. I hate the Cathy's so much I wish their restaurant wasn't so good, but this one is THE model of how to do it.“

“Amazing burger, amazing experience. I have had some good hamburgers during my travels. A&A in Allentown, GA is great. Holeman & Finch in Atlanta is a other great burger. The Yak burger at Grubstake in Estes Park, CO is life-changing. Hamburger King in Montgomery, Alabama is right up there with all the aforementioned and maybe better.

If you are in Montgomery pay them a visit and you'll be glad you did.“

“Cashier Khadijah super friendly! Great smile, great customer service! Kitchen staff hard at work, getting orders in & out in a timely manner! Clean bathrooms & clean interior & seating area! First time at this location & the food is AWESOME!! Will definitely be back !!“

“This was my first time visiting and they provided good customer service and suggested several menu items to try, as well as desserts to try. Food was hot and well seasoned. And a good price! I will be back.“

“I Haven't Been In Five Guys In A While, But Today I Had A Taste For A Good Burger, So I Ended Up At Five Guys On Zelda Road In Montgomery, AL. The Atmosphere Was Awesome, It Was Very Clean And I Was Greeted With A Big Heart Felt Smile From Rhonda T. It Really Made Me Feel At Home, And She Took My Order Exactly The Way That I Wanted It. I Had The Bacon Cheese Burger Meal With No Lettuce, Tomatoes, Or Pickles, But I Did Keep My Grilled Onions With My Medium Salted Fries, And A Lemonade To Drink. The Food Was Outstanding, It Was Fresh And Hot And Delicious. I Will Definitely Be Back For More Wonderful Food And Exactly Hospitality.“

“better than eastchase and east blvd location where they are cheap on the turkey.“

“A beautiful day in Alabama to have an ice cream 🍦 and pick flowers to put in my Dairy Queen cup!!!“

“lived up to the hype and polite service really good burgers“

“Isn’t the purpose of customer service to help customers? Not ignore them while they are standing at the counter? Do you only employee rude people?“

“Ms. Victoria the asst mgmr at the Ann St location is an great asset to your company... She's is an exceptional. I called her on 1/7/2025 for an order I purchased on 1/6/2025 Market Salads she listened to my concern and made it right with no issues... Thank you Ms “

“We get the $7 basket everytime and the employees are A1 because they know their chicken strips are small so they give extra to the customers so a 3 piece becomes a 5 piece and they give plenty of fries and i get a drink and sundae and I'm full. And it's always fresh and hot thank you so much because this day in age fast food service sucks except here at DQ!!!! Thank you guys for doing your jobs with a smile someone hired the right people and I appreciate especially being pregnant it's refreshing and amazing.“

“Being a Texan, I’ve always had a soft spot for Whataburger. So when I heard one was coming to Montgomery, I was excited. At first, it lived up to expectations—but over time, the quality and service declined. Eventually, I gave up on my beloved WB entirely.

Fast forward a year, and I found myself reluctantly trying Hardee’s for breakfast, simply because I refused to give any more money to the local WB. That decision turned out to be the best one I’ve made in a while.

From the moment I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised by the absolutely fantastic service. Every employee I encountered was smiling, upbeat, and genuinely friendly. It felt like I’d stepped into a time machine—back to an era where customer service actually mattered and guests were truly appreciated.

And the food? Delicious. Consistently hot, fresh, and well-prepared.

I’ve returned to this Hardee’s many times over the past year, half-expecting things to slip like they did elsewhere—but they never have. The service remains top-notch. The staff still moves with purpose and pride. It’s honestly a monumental feat in the fast food industry, especially around here.

Whoever is managing this location clearly knows what they’re doing—from the top down. Keep it up. You’ve earned a loyal customer.“

“Hardee's Never Disappoints Me, Even Though Alot Of Them Have Closed, I Still Love Their Charbroil Burger Taste. Their Burgers Have Always Hit The Spot, Cause It Reminds Me Of A Home Made Bar-B-Que Burger, And I Just Love That Kind Of Taste, And Their Fries Have Overcome McDonald's Fries To Me And My Own Personal Experience. I Still Love Their Breakfast Sausage Biscuits As Well, And I Always Express A Lite Biscuit And They Never Fail. The Flavor Is Something That Will Be Missed If They Leave Completely. I'll Still Shop There Till The Very End, Cause They Are What You Call Real Good Hometown Cooking With Lots Of Flavor.“

“Guthrie’s Chicken Review

If you’re craving simple, no-frills Southern comfort food, Guthrie’s delivers exactly that — and then some. Known as the original chicken finger restaurant, Guthrie’s sticks to what they do best: golden, crispy chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, buttery Texas toast, coleslaw, and that famous Guthrie’s Sauce.

The chicken is consistently juicy on the inside with a perfectly seasoned crunch on the outside — not greasy, just right. The portion sizes are generous, and the box combo (fingers, fries, toast, slaw, and sauce) hits every craving in one shot. Their signature sauce is tangy, creamy, and slightly peppery — dangerously addictive and definitely worth asking for an extra.

Service is usually fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is casual — great for a quick bite or a late-night food run. Prices are fair for the quality and amount of food you get.

Overall, Guthrie’s is a go-to spot for classic, satisfying fried chicken done right. It may not be fancy, but when you want quality comfort food, it more than delivers.

Rating: 4.5/5“

“My daughter and I went inside. Was pleasantly surprised at the Christian music playing inside. Great service.“

“Tyler is amazing! All of the staff are so friendly and Toney Pinkst took excellent care of me with a Valentine’s order! Thank you for everything!!!“

“Jack’s restaurants are a Southern take on fast food, with biscuits and other classic Southern sides. My husband chose the two piece fried chicken meal with coleslaw and mashed potatoes, and I had a grilled chicken burger. I love the high-quality shakes!“

“people was nice and polite. clean restaurant. everything was good and hot. Only thing was that the toilet in the men's restroom was broken..other than that the restroom was clean and sanitized.“

“The food was all fresh and tasted as I'd expect. The place was clean. However of like 8 fountain drink options, only 3 in working order. They had a hand sanitizer station that was empty. There was no soap in the woman's bathroom, not even a soap dispenser. There was soap in the men's bathroom but the sink didnt work. Weird considering the only employees were women.“

“Service was bad and they were out of flour for biscuits and was 8 in the morning!“

“The place had some very nice employees. I had the fish sandwich and it was AMAZING however the Fries didn’t have in salt on them and the Cole slaw was dry. I will be back though. Like I said sandwich was amazing!“

“When I came into the restaurant I was greated with a hello from Shirley. Shirley was very nice and seemed to know what she was doing. She seemed to be running the front of the house along with giving directions to back of the house and drive through. The restaurant was very clean. When Shirley brought out my food she even thought of bringing extra butter for my dish. I am a manager of a local chain and the customer service here was absolutely outstanding. Shirley deserves a huge raise“

“Food was great, setting was fun! If we could bowl it would be awesome! Possibly every other lane? Hand sanitizer between lanes?“

“I enjoy eating at Krystal but they need to fix the AC because it's hard eating hot grits in a hot dinning room“

“Friday at Dairy Queen the service was quick and very nice and very clean and the health Inspection score was 97.“

“I want to acknowlegde this location because they actually have soft light brown biscuits available. Not everyone likes hard, crunchy, dark biscuits. Thank you to the manager and the cook who look out for people who like light brown biscuits!“

“I think this Arby’s suffers being right next to Chick-Fil-A. I usually eat there but was just in the mood for Arby’s today. The restaurant has been recently remodeled and is very nice. The service was exceptional, and the manager was walking around calling the patrons by name asking if everything was Ok. Give these folks a try!“

“Great and welcoming staff it was my sons first time here and he enjoy every recommendation especially the blueberry biscuit. Thank you all for being so kind when we visited today from Chicago.“

“I had to wait longer than usual (when ordering via app), but I understand things have slowed because of Covid. Corn dogs were great! My Rt 44 Sprite Zero was good, as well. I asked for extra ice and “easy” cranberry flavor, but I could have used more ice (I love it!!!) and less cranberry. I must include the fact the person who brought out my order was super sweet.“

“We went through the drive thru today at lunch and the service was excellent! When we almost left without the avocado sauce the nice girl who was working the drive thru waved us down in front of the restaurant to be sure we had it. Nothing was missed in our order and everything was great!“

“We are on the way to South Carolina, low on money and trying to find our way. We stopped to get some food with a gift card we had, but it would not apply on the app, and grabbed our gas money. We were distraught. Glenda, working today, went out of her way to reimburse us the money we lost out of her own wallet. We have never experienced something so kind. Not only that, the food was fresh and great! Thank you so much Glenda, you allowed for us to get back on the road no trouble. ?? Great location, heavily recommended!!!“

“This was the best taco bell in montgomery, ala! The ingredients were really fresh! I have never had a taco that fresh, I will be going back to eat there, the manager is awesome, the wait time was hardly any wait at all, and the little young lady at the windows was sooooo sweet! I give it a 10!

Vegetarian options: The salads are great, just don't do sour cream if you're worried about calories.

Kid-friendliness: Yes.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“The HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY was the BEST I have ever seen. EVERY DOOR had it, even the bathroom stall & once in restroom, the door opened once you moved towards it. I thank you for thinking about everyone. Plus the staff is always so friendly. It was a pleasant and easy experience.“

“The only BK I'd recommend to anyone. Their always friendly, managers care and the food is always hot and fresh. There's literally a BK next to my job, but I prefer Chantilly. The one next to my job, smh!!! I see why they run specials on their door. business just not booming, like it was, when they first opened. poor customer service, food underdone or cold. Serve food that's been sitting up and complain when you ask for your food fresh. keep up the wonderful work, Chantilly!!!“

“Very friendly cashier and I forgot to get her name as I always do reviews. I wanted an egg and cheese biscuit but they were out by 10 am so she offered me toast instead. I had quick service and the toast was pretty good as I was traveling. Thanks“

“I've been to a lot of Mexican restaurants And this is the best I've been to so far will definitely come back thank you so much“

“Great service! We broke down and they were so nice to us throughout the day while we were stranded.“

“It's a fast food place, so ambiance is not something you expect. What sets this one apart is a kind, patient, and friendly girl who takes orders inside. She was very kind to an old lady who had lost her way and was confused about what she wanted to order.“

“My husband and I just had the BEST service and freshest food ever from this location! Thank you so much! *Morning of December 10th, 2021 around 9:40am, I want to make sure that staff gets the credit!“

“When I ordered my breakfat. The cashier & the pickup window staffers were very polite & nice. As were the other employees. All the employees seem to all get along whenever I'm there.

Their sausage. breakfast scrambler bowl & Krystal burgers are my favorites. I only treat myself to meals when I lose more weight than intended. I can't go a day without a 1½ to 2 hours of exercising, so I'm there once or twice a month ordering.

My only two complaints are that mustard & ketchup should be offered at the drive-thru as only a dab of both condiments are used on the Krystal burgers. And, the window area needs a good cleaning & window washing.
Even though I think the drive-thru was painted some months ago.

Yet, that takes nothing from the nice workers.

Vegetarian options: The drive-thru can be crowded at times. Yet, it's worth the wait.

Dietary restrictions: Fried foods.

Kid-friendliness: Only good for eating. I've never seen a play area.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, the front door has a flat cemented area for wheelchairs.“

“Now, my first time trying WF was 2-3 weeks ago, and I ordered the chicken bowl and the chicken on those fries were OMG, the perfect size. They were huge. Now, last week I go and order the same thing, the chicken was smaller than chicken little. Bring the BIG BIRD back. Dont tease people with the orders.“
