“Chick-fil-A has a special meaning for me, and I'm so glad this location opened near me. I think the average quality here is one of the best among Chick-fil-A chains—the service is fast, and the staff is extremely friendly, especially Manny.”

“Open late and fast service, as you would expect from a taco bell. They now have two auto service kiosks for ordering at that feel fairly removed and not welcoming, but that seems to be the standard of all fast food places now to have these. The food was not great, but as you would expect from a taco bell. Prices are very cheap for the area.”

“I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!”

“This is the best Jersey Mike’s in the entire state of California!! As soon as we walk in everyone is just beaming, smiling from ear to ear, everyone behind the counter was just lovely to talk to. Additionally, there were so accommodating to my wife who has celiac. They were so cheerful, and happy to accommodate her dietary needs. And it didn’t make the situation feel like a burden or a hassle at all. The food was delicious, served and ready to go out the door really fast. Everyone in this restaurant needs a raise upon a raise. Appreciate everyone in this restaurant!”

“Regularly ride by the truck and always see at least one customer. Decided to stop by. Ordered the Chile Relleno plate over rice, frijoles and macaroni salad. Added a hot chocolate drink. If your Spanish isn't up to par, the clerk also speaks English. The meal was excellent, the beans didn't taste like they contained lard, the rice was fluffy and flavored with a stock, the macaroni salad cooked just right and the stuffed ground meat chile relleno was greaseless and tasted homemade.Well return to try the rellenitos, and hilochas.GREAT job guys”

“I used to say “never Taco Bell,” to my kiddos, but, Carlos at the San Mateo El Camino Taco Bell changed my mind. My kids ordered the most ridiculous customizations you can imagine, and somehow everything came out perfect. They were thrilled, which means I was thrilled. Shoutout to Carlos for turning “never Taco Bell” into “can we go back to Taco Bell?” If Carlos ran all Taco Bells, I’d be living off of chalupas (and whatever my kids don't eat, obviously, w/ their Taco Bell customizations). Thank you!”

“This Subway deserves far more credit than it gets. I’ve stopped by multiple evenings (yes, even close to closing) and the staff have always been kind and incredibly accommodating. They’re patient, respectful, and communicate clearly, even when dealing with customers who walk in frazzled or LAST MINUTE. The female worker, in particular, is always gracious. She takes time with your order, listens carefully, and makes sure everything is prepared exactly how you want it. She even remembers returning customers which is more than you can say about most fast-food chains these days. People love to complain about hours, but honestly? I’d rather staff stay on schedule than deal with someone demanding service five minutes before shutdown. Boundaries matter and this team clearly values a clean, well-organized closing routine. That’s professionalism, not laziness. If you want efficiency, kindness, and sandwiches made with actual care, come to this location.”

They employees greeted every customer with a a smile during lunch rush. It's clear the team took pride in their work. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this subway. Great food and great service.”

“Just came here for the fried apple pie. Has the crunch, but maybe they weren't from the fryer or sitting a while, filling was not piping hot like i remember. Theres typically a warning label for the heat. Then again this is a limited time release.”

Baja Blast fans can breathe easy. Taco Bell and PepsiCo have renewed their partnership for another 11 years, keeping Pepsi in Taco Bell fountains through 2036. They announced the deal Oct. 22, one week after sister chain KFC said it would drop Pepsi for Coca-Cola in the U.S. after 40 years. Both chains belong to Yum Brands, like two siblings from the same house cheering for rival teams.
Yum Brands agreed in June to sell Pizza Hut. That leaves KFC, the Habit Burger & Grill and one chain that supplies 43% of the company's operating profit. Taco Bell's same-store sales rose 7% in the second quarter against 3% growth across Yum, and system sales at the chain climbed 9% while Pizza Hut slipped 2%. Digital orders reached 47% of the mix. CEO Chris Turner said Taco Bell "entered Q3 in its strongest position ever" and told investors the company would move ahead as a "more focused organization positioned to accelerate growth."
KFC will open a restaurant in Texas this summer that its U.S. president describes as the chain ten years from now. The prototype, called Open House, lands in McKinney, a Dallas suburb near parent company Yum Brands' Plano headquarters. Guests can order at a table, in the drive-thru or for takeout. The menu pairs new items with signature ones "packaged in a new way."
It seems that now QSR chains have to plan around two calendars. One belongs to holidays, with brands like Krispy Kreme and Del Taco preparing red-white-and-blue launches for America's 250th birthday. The other follows the algorithm, which publishes no schedule.
Feeding a crowd is one job most people would happily hand off, and Church's Texas Chicken wants to take it. The fried chicken chain just launched Church's Catering, a program that delivers its menu in group-friendly formats for everything from office lunches to family reunions.
