44 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Lakeland

“Haven't eaten Five Guys in many years. Forgot how much I love their burgers and fries! Both were very fresh as always and tasted great. For anyone that HASN'T eaten at a Five Guys before, the regular burgers are double patties and the little burgers are a single patty. Also, the amount of fries is crazy. One regular fry is easily enough for two adults!“

“I want to thank the manager and staff for keeping the dining area and bathrooms so clean. Especially having a 6 month old, a clean space makes all the difference and it's not very common in the fast food industry anymore. Well done, and thank you.“

“I have to say, the service alone is worth going to this location. The food is amazing, but when the team races to open the door for your family, they are something special. Well done!“

“This is the newest location almost out on Shepherd Rd/S FL Ave intersection. A step above the other fast food joints. I had a Cobb Salad w/chicken nuggets on top with a chocolate milkshake. Excellent choice as it was crisp and fresh. The service, as usual, was top notch.“

“awesome really good food😋“

“If y'all havent had a burger here, just go ahead and clear your schedule and make time. You won't be sorry, flavorful burgers, crispy fries and onion rings, and yummy wings. Go now!“

“Wonderful food and people! Unique choices, clean dining space. We will be back!“

“Staff was kind and respectful. Food was a reasonable price and good quality as well. Food was nice and hot when it arrived. Dining area was clean; saw staff cleaning often. Plenty of seating options as well. Always have had a good service here.“

“Stopped by the North Lakeland Chick-fil-A after visiting the mall since the one inside is always packed. I decided to dine in and the morning shift was amazing. Everyone was super kind and checked on me a few times to see if I needed anything. My food was fresh, hot, and came out quick. I’ll be honest, I used to avoid this location because of a bad experience a few weeks ago with someone whose name started with an El----, I never even got her name because all I could see was her demanding things and raising her voice at her peers. I know how stressful fastfood is but if this is someones reaction to a busy day I truly feel bad for those around her and she needs to find some where else to work...anyways. I felt kind of ignored back then and started going to the Chipotle nearby instead. But today completely changed my mind. The morning crew really turned things around and reminded me why I love Chick-fil-A. Great job to whoever worked this morning!“

“Was clean and ice cream portion was great as well as the ice cream“

“It was great food Great service“

“Me and my friend was traveling back home from Tampa to Orlando we stop by this Wendy's to get some food for the road and not only that was fast but thoughtful the put our meals in different bags so it's easier for us to eat and so that way we don't have to dig in the bag I would go to this Wendy's for now on if it wasn't for me living in Orlando great workers and will definitely come back for my next Tampa trip hope yall have a great day“

“Great Coffee and Fresh Sausage Biscuit ! Best Service in the fast-Food Industry ! Amber Rocks !!“

“My 1st time going to this Wendy's in Lake Wales. I really loved Mr. Britt. He was very attentive on the floor. Asking and walking around how everyone was doing, saying hi to all his locals as they also embrace him with love back. It was very nice to see how sweet and polite people can be with one another. God bless this Wendy's always 🙏 they are blessed to have Mr. Britt. I pray I'm saying his name right ✅️ ❤️. Keep up the great work sir 🙏 👏 God is really proud of how you treat his people and the way you serve us 🙏.“

“Ordered probably 20 times in the morning before work and I’ve never had any issues. Speed is great, better than McDonald’s in the morning because McDonald’s is usually busier lol. They have all menu items in the morning, not just breakfast.“

“Dr MOMOH HERBAL REMEDIES on facebook who genuinely cure me from herpes with his natural products.“

“Really enjoyed spending time at the park. Plenty of shaded areas and paths to walk. Wished they had changing tables in the restrooms.“

“★★★★★

Stopped by Wendy’s and had a great experience from start to finish. The carryout order was handled quickly and everything was fresh, hot, and exactly how it should be.

Huge shoutout to Brittany, Iemma, and Archavia—super friendly, professional, and clearly on top of their game. You can tell when a team actually cares, and it shows here. Service like that makes a difference.

Food was on point, order was accurate, and the whole process was smooth. Definitely one of the better Wendy’s locations I’ve been to. I’ll be back for sure.“

“My family and I go in there at least once a week, if not more. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. Gas prices are competitive and if you get a rewards card, you get a discount on gas. I’ll drive past other stores just to go here.“

“Love having Culver’s on the North side. Everything is really good specially the ice cream ! Restaurant is clean and employees are friendly. Definitely recommend 🙋🏻‍♀️“

“Tacos not so bueno!! Check my profile for photos ...“

“My family and I stopped by today. We're on a family vacation. All I can say is this is by far the best service I have EVER had from any fast food restaurant. They seriously went above and beyond to put a smile on my kids face... even when they didn't have to. A+++++++“

“Did a large pick up Saturday, August 10, 2024 drove an hour home to realize that it was wrong. This is the third time we had pick up and it was wrong so my suggestion is to always check before you pull away. Called and spoke to a manager and she told me to come back up on Sunday and she would take care of it Today, Sunday, August 11, 2024, and she replaced my order. Customer service is all about.“

“I just love and appreciate the little things❤️
I ordered 2 Swiss Grilled Chicken Clucker meals for me and my Fiancee. Those things are my favorite when I come here. Regardless of how long I had to wait for my order, I completely understood that they had a little line. But they took care of us customers just great. Awesome service. They gave me 2 apple pies for me and my Fiancee. Because of our wait. Which, it was a bit of a wait.... Thank you Checkers. They have the best little crunchy apple pies😌🥟🍎“

“I love this place I live nearby and always miss u guys when your open I finally came back today and everything was perfect as always, everything is always so fresh and hot! I can drive back to my house and the food is still hot. Fresh veggies chopped perfectly and food is always delicious. Strawberry banana smoothie is amazing with freshly cut fruit ❤️“

“Great food, great crew. Ms. Bernice leads a great team and want to personally give a shoutout too to Zac who is so kind and awesome taking care of customers and staying professional. Ms. Bernice really sets a good tone for this location 🥰 Recommend this place 101%“

“The best reuben sandwich on earth. And the curly fries the best. Always hot and fresh crispy fries. At this arbys, you get what you see on the menu. Some fast food places (mcds) , they advertise crispy golden fries and when you do get them, they look like spaghettis. Never fails. Not at this arbys. Thank you for your fantastic job.“

“I am a huge fan of subway..HOWEVER I have never had such a great experience at one until today..my husband and I were on I4 and saw the sign..so glad we did! The manager at this location was superb! It was so apparent that he cared and took pride in his work! How refreshing! The Subway was super clean and the wraps were so good! Great job! Great service! Great atmosphere!“

“I went through the drive thru because I was on my way to work. Ordered a plate with rice and orange chicken with mushroom chicken. Phenomenal. When I came up to the window I was greeted by Daniel who was super bubbly and happy and that really just helped me get ready for my shift this evening. Amazing service by Daniel and amazing food. 10/10 recommend!“

“The food is excellent and cooked per my instructions. The Memorial Blvd location in east Lakeland has great staff of employees. Last but by no means least a superb GM.“

“That man Frankie is THE man. My friend and I came in within the hustle of bustle, no phones on hand, and immediately he picked up the tablet and checked on us without complaint, steady sharing smiles. I gave a shout out to him, and ten minutes later I heard it echoed four times over! Proof is in the pudding“

“Keke the manager is amazing! She welcomes everyone that walks in the door, checks on them to see if they need anything else and she even cleans tables. Restaurant was very clean, employees were under control, not yelling in the back or goofing off. I was very impressed!!“

“My husband and I both had a very busy afternoon with appointments. It had been raining all day-we were both cold from being in and out of the rain, and we were hangry! We wanted something quick and decided on Firehouse Subs at Merchants Walk in Lakeland. Christie took my order over the phone. My husband and I both noticed how clearly, efficiently, and professionally she took our order. When I went in to pickup our order, Christie was at the register. I was able to watch as she was checking out customers. Again, she was very efficient, professional, and kind. The entire staff was busy and working making other orders. All were friendly and smiling. Very impressive! Kudos to Christie, and all the folks working in there!“

“Judy is amazing and deserves whatever sort of compensation or award you can give her. She was so nice and attentive to what we needed and after we finished our order we couldn't help but watch as she showed such kindness to others. She deserves a promotion, vacation or both“

“The cookie crunch cone was good!“

“After bad customer service from Wendy's, we went to Arby's. The gentlemen in the drive thru was great as ever. Pleasant and attentive to our order. He ensured our items was accounted for and did it courteously. Maybe Wendy's can take Arby's customer service training curriculum and apply that to their stores.“

“About twice a year, I need an Arby's roast beef sandwich with Arby's sauce...no frills, just roast beef, bun, sauce.
The thing I like most about this location is the peace in the dining room. I can enjoy my lunch.
Service is excellent.
Everything is clean.
The staff are actually working in the kitchen and seem to enjoy one another. It's a refreshing change.“

“I had a great experience ordering ahead on the mobile app and picking up in the drive-thru. My order was prepared quickly, correctly, and cooked to perfection!

If you haven't tried the chicken nuggets, give them a try! The hot honey sauce and the jalapeño honey mustards are my favorites.“

“Fresh cut deli meat. Soft fresh bread and great customer service. I went back today as well for lunch. Favorite ever!!!“

“i asked my mom to grand sandwiches for my sister and i because we were very hungry. i had told her i wanted a steak and cheese with an ungodly amount of pickles. she came home and told me that the tall, large man who was working the night of mar. 28, did exactly that. and so he did. there was more pickles on there than meat, cheese, or toppings - just how i like it. it was beautiful. glorious. amazing. i love you, tall man.“
