33 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Lakeland

“I always love eating here. I enjoy making drawings with the crayons and index cards they leave out and putting them on the bulletin boards while I wait for my food to be ready. It might be aimed at kids, but it's really fun and helps pass the time! Plus, the food is always amazing.“

“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!“

“As always Chick-fil-a delivers. The food is always great and the service is friendly. Many of America's corporations could learn ALot from a company who provides value for its services and makes more in 6 days per week than many others do by running 24/7 and 365“

“awesome really good food😋“

“Literally the best burger in Lakeland!“

“I recently decided to try Wendy's for the first time, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! I ordered a variety of items, including the Baconator, fries, a chocolate Frosty, a Classic Chicken sandwich, chili, some spicy chicken nuggets, and ranch dipping sauce. Every item was delicious, but the Baconator and the Frosty truly stood out as the crown jewels of my meal. The Frosty even came with a charming purple spoon adorned with a raven and skulls, Ooh, how spooky lol!

The Wendy's app was incredibly user-friendly, making it easy to customize my order. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a five-dollar discount, which made the experience even better. The drive-thru service was impressively quick, and I want to give a shout-out to the friendly staff member who handed me my food—Catherine, I believe her name was. She was professional and made the experience feel welcoming.“

“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“

“They are a clean facility with a friendly staff quality food. My children enjoy the biggie bags. Food is always fresh. The price great for a family on a budget. We did not go inside we used the drive thru. Food and drinks were ready top speed. Great experience. Loved it would go back. The great service. Speedy service that's it.“

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

“Did online ordering during a busy time of night on a Saturday and got our food pretty quickly which was a nice cold delicious strawberry fields salad that I highly recommend because how finely distributed the toppings on the salad was (Plenty of strawberries, chicken, blue cheese crumbles, and pecans). Plenty of food with a good price. Highly recommend this location along side with the nice friendly lady that gave me the food.“

“The food was very excellent. We had breakfast and we had the baconator egg and cheese sandwich what's a potatoes and a drink. And it only came out to about $7 each. The only problem that I had is that I had put it through the mobile app and I asked for it to be dine in and they had it down as carry out so I don't know why. So when we got there it was at the very end of breakfast. Just be careful when you order and make sure that you put the correct pick up method.“

“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.“

“This will be a forever caveat with fast food:
***Always check your order, sometimes they forget napkins, straws.***

Now to the good part.
I'm updating my particular review of this Wendy's because it's an example of excellence in the fast food industry. Over the past few years, my family and I have visited this particular Wendy's in Lakeland FL ( Lakeland highlands blvd, same place as Lowe's, across from Arby's and SAM's club) regularly and at all times of day. I've been here near open for a Honey Butter chicken biscuit. I've taken my kids here after a morning hike for some lunch, and I've eaten here near closing time after waiting tables all evening at another local restaurant. Their level of service and dedication to making their food the best way possible is noteworthy. So go get yourself a baconator and frosty! It will be just what you want right when you need it.“

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

“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 🙋🏻‍♀️“

“Taco Bell frequently offers various deals, discounts, and special promotions, often through its app, website, and third-party delivery platforms.

These include limited-time offers like Luxe Cravings Boxes, Cravings Value Menu items, and discounts on delivery orders. Additionally, they have rewards programs and promotions tied to specific events like National Taco Day.

“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+++++++“

“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😌🥟🍎“

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

“Luciano and the other woman attending the line were professional, courteous, and working very hard. The samples of the drinks were super tasty and the food was hot, delicious, and very filling. Only good things to say about this place and the staff“

“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.“

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

“I've always loved this Arby's, and previously given 5 🌟. But my recent visit there changed my opinion completely. I asked for fresh fries, was asked to pull around, which was fine. I offered to do so. I stood outside the door for over 15 minutes waiting. I could see employees inside that didn't appear to be doing anything but socializing. They finally came to the door, unlocked it, handed me my bag, and quickly went back in and locked it. The food was TERRIBLE!! The fries were ice cold, the roast beef sandwiches were old and dry. I couldn't believe I waited for 15 to 20 minutes for disgusting old food! I'll rethink returning to this location for sure!! Night crew employees need training on customer service and attending to customers instead of each other!! Very disappointed“

“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!“

“After months of waiting to try this food truck I went there @515 tonight to try it only to find they were cash only. I left decided to go to an atm when I got back about ten minutes later he was closed. I took a chance and knocked .. the gentleman was still inside I told him I had cash and he said give me 19 minutes it’ll be ready. I ordered (3) 3 taco w rice and refried beans. Amazing! 3 of us and we were stuffed and satisfied!! Thank you! We will be back!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Called and spoke with Omarion to make sure they included my au jus with my French dip delivery order. He was super helpful and nice and gave me an extra one because the app charged me when it shouldn’t have. He really went above and beyond!“

“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!“

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

“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“
