37 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Athens

“Very tasty vegan options!“

“I made a mistake in the app placing a mobile order, and got my boyfriend’s order wrong, but Miss Mary was so kind and helpful, and he has a new sandwich within a few minutes.

The store itself was also so clean and calm, truly a refreshingly different experience from so many fast food restaurants these days.“

“As the name states, this place serves poke and hibachi entrees and they do both pretty great. It is my go to spot whenever I’m in the mood for either. Food is always spot on. Ming and Alicia are almost always at the front and they are the nicest people. Hand ups best place in Athens for this food type. Two thumbs up.“

“los filetes de pollo y la tostada muy rico.“

“Love Five Guys! However, stopped in today at the Epps Bridge Rd location in Athens, Ga and the fries were different. The were cut like huge steak fries and so they did not have the same consistency as they normally do. From what I’ve read, the fries are hand cut in house, so it seems like a weird franchise decision to stray from the well-loved original. Not saying they were awful, just not up to the usual standard of yumminess I have come to expect from Five Guys.“

“Well the drive thru person didn't sound like he wanted to be there. Bt overall he was nice and friendly so the experience was A, ok!!! 😊

Kid-friendliness: Yes it's kids friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Didn't notice this.“

“We had such a wonderful experience with this Chick-fil-A location! Their team was incredibly friendly, professional, and organized when helping us coordinate a catered lunch for our workforce development organization and nonprofit in Athens. We were hosting a solar installation bootcamp, and their support made a huge difference. The food was delicious, the service was seamless, and their partnership helped fuel our students so they could perform their best and stay energized while learning. We’re so grateful for Marisa's leadership, generosity and commitment to the community as she helped provide the best solution for us!“

“Excellent staff, very friendly atmosphere with delicious food... u can truly have it your way. And the food is fresh tasting 😋 and yummy!!! #ITSWillysTIME“

“Excellent restaurant for students looking for something different. The burrito/bowl bar is well-stocked and delicious, and the food will not disappoint, especially under $12 for a burrito and chips. Great place for small groups but the seating isn't so extensive for larger parties.“

“Friendly staff, good tacos!!!“

“Stop by for a lunch break,The entire experience was great. Cleanliness, Customer Service, nice prices, the food was great and fresh. I don’t usually eat at Hibachi restaurants, this place… delicious. No Cap! I’m BIG on Where I Eat. Try it!“

“BRAIZER!!“

“They have the best subs hands down 🔥“

“Love this location great service“

“Great Place to come and eat here in Athens, Georgia. I would Highly Recommend this location. They also have excellent customer service here even when extremely busy after football games. 5 Stars“

“I was traveling through the area and decided to stop in for lunch. This location was extremely busy. I had a hard time finding a parking spot.
The interior was chaotic with customers. I decided to find a table and order on the app.
Everything came out much quicker than I expected and was piping hot.
I can totally appreciate consistency of product no matter the location. CFA has an excellent reputation for and does not disappoint.
I look forward to every visit to one of there locations. Bubba has done a good job at keeping the core of the business model prevalent even after Truett’s passing. Long live the chicken sandwich…… and the nuggets too!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had lunch at Freddy’s today and really enjoyed it! I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger with tots—delicious and fresh. The staff was friendly, and my food came out fast. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!“

“Firehouse is ALWAYS right on target, with the flavor, the temps, and the customization. They have never let me down and I've been a customer for years. On top of that, they support Firefighters and their families, along with their communities. So Firehouse, IMO, is hands down the BEST chain Sub shop out there!“

“I haven't been to this Arby's since 1999 & for my oldest daughter's birthday she wanted to come here and eat. If it wasn't for her & her siblings wanting to eat here with the most fantastic food, service & atmosphere in Athens, I have to agree for so long, Arby's is still AMAZING !!!👍“

“Roberto take my friend to lunch and we enjoy it“

“This place is so delicious from wings to euros so whatever else you could probably think of pretty much got it. I usually get the chicken Philly with buffalo sauce, mild added, and that is on time. They also have great gyros. It’s about mid price from everything else so it’s not so bad but it’s worth it when she bite into that sandwich. My goodness I can taste it now.“

“Really enjoyed my visit to Taco Bell! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. Everything tasted great and felt like good value for the price. The service was quick, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Perfect place to grab a satisfying meal without spending too much. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I have been to Whataburger a few times, and the people who work here are wonderful. It’s rare to experience good customer service in fast food restaurants these days, but it’s like they took the heart of Texas and brought it with them. And it’s also rare to get freebies from any fast food restaurants unless you have accrued several points. But this morning Rod blessed me with a free honey butter chicken biscuit as part of their free breakfast promotion and he blessed me with his kindness. I hope whataburger stays in Athens for years to come. Thank you!“

“I got tuna kimbop and udon togo and they were both super good

-kimbop was not sweet, and the amount of seasoning was great. Like the rice was actually seasoned- not just white rice like some fake korean joints. Fillings to rice ratio was pretty good too. Only thing is that I expected tuna mayo instead of just tuna? But I feel like this is more of a preference so just an fyi

- udon had unexpected flavor, not that it was bad, just different than what I expected. Not like regular japanese udon but more of korean old fasion udon.. (가락국수 스타일!). It was tasty with hearth broth:)

Also the prices are pretty good for this economy“

“Love champs chicken!! It’s always hot and fresh! Tenders are always juicy and I love their Mac and cheese!“

“I visited this Wendy’s today and had THE BEST fast food experience that I’ve had in years! Both drive thru workers were very kind and prompt. My food was hot and fresh! Seriously, the lettuce was very crispy and the bacon was cooked just right! And everything in my order was made perfectly!“

“The Krystal hamburger will always be the boom diggity....corn pups are awesome and maybe the chili cheese dog..but the prices that they charge now is ridiculous.we ordered 12 Krystals with cheese a couple drinks and 2 chips and it was over $40 ....there is no way I'm gonna pay that.....I understand everything has gone up but that's crazy. they don't have professional employees that are respectful and knowledgeable. we should be representative a lot better for the prices that they charge because that is ridiculous for just two people.

Vegetarian options: Prices are high for fast food so that a lot with you...

Kid-friendliness: Yes they have kids meal too“

“We eat here a lot. I was happy to see an offer for a bonus $5 gift card with purchase of a $25 card. So I go for the offer, only to discover, several screens into the process, that there is a $2.50 "digital services fee." Come on guys. This really leaves a bad taste in your mouth.“

“The staff is always kind to me when I'm there, and the VERY few times I've ever had issues with an order their management is always quick and kind to fix it. I've also never had to wait too long in line whether inside or in the drive thru“

“Just had an amazing experience my app unfortunately wasn't working for some reason and I was getting food for my friend and myself we haven't eaten all day and with my friend having a personal death in the family I wanted to make sure we both had food especially for my friend and the worker I was talking to was such an amazing female with a listening ear and a hand willing to help with whatever she could that's amazing customer service and I appreciate your help“

“Got the recommendation from Kaleb Dance at Bobcat of Athens as this first time eating here. Food was fresh, really good and priced right with fast friendly service. I got the steak philly with everything on it and 5 piece wings (hot) as a combo. Wings are super tiny so I wish I hadn't skipped on the fries. They were pretty busy with people coming in and out so that says a lot in my opinion. The wing flavor was perfect, not too spicy with plenty of flavor. The Philly was buttery rich and the bread was soft but held everything in place“

“I’ve never had a bad experience at this location. Great service and hard working employees. I go here an average of twice a week. Can’t beat it at its location.“

“Blows chipotle out of the water. Their guacamole and mango salsa is on point. The steak burrito bowl was amazing! Will be back!“
