36 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Athens

“Very tasty vegan options!“

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

“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.“

“Great service..but I wish they would open the play ground..but the food was awesome“

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

“Moved away from town but literally searched for this location again bc I’d been meaning to leave this review forever ago.

I used to come to this Krystal all the time between midnight-3am and always had the most amazing customer service and hot fresh food served pretty fast. Idk what it is about this location at this hour but I’ve always have an exceptionally good experience“

“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.“

“Great food I really enjoyed my visit“

“Friendly staff, good tacos!!!“

“Was my 1st time doing breakfast n sadly being a big breakfast guy it was off the chain so guess im coming back alot cuz waffle house got expensive, McDonald's is played out n there prices here r pretty cheap plus the ppl r very customer service oriented n sweet. See ya'll tmoro“

“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!“

“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!“

“Okay, here's my review of this amazing restaurant! 🐔 I recently visited and had an absolutely delightful experience at the counter. The staff was incredibly friendly and provided top-notch service with a smile 😊. The food was undeniably delicious, especially the crispy chicken sandwich and waffle fries 🍟. Furthermore, the restaurant was spotless, creating a welcoming atmosphere to enjoy my meal. I highly recommend this place for a quick, tasty meal! #ChickFilA #FoodReview #ChickenSandwich #DeliciousEats #CustomerService“

“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.“

“BRAIZER!!“

“Love this location great service“

“At Freddy’s I moan with delight,
Those burgers just hit me just right.
The mustard may tease,
The pickles may please—
But the sundae keeps everything tight!

The grill sings a sizzle so sweet,
As patties and onions compete.
That crispy edge kiss,
A bite full of bliss,
I swear I could never retreat.

Then comes that custard—oh my!
A swirl that could make angels sigh.
With brownie so warm,
It breaks every norm,
I’m helpless, I won’t even lie.

So Freddy’s, my flavorful flame,
You’ve ruined all others, what shame!
From first to last bite,
You’ve done it up right—
And I’ll never quit singing your name!“

“They have the best subs hands down 🔥“

“Wonderful crew! They had the cup I needed in stock too! Huge plus lol
The food was delicious and well prepared. It was definitely hot and ready when I pulled up to the window. I love the drive through lady was on point with keeping up with traffic and moving along. The line seemed long however it moved REALLY quick!“

“It was an unexpected joy to step into this Arby’s and see such friendly staff and well maintained dining room. Savannah was so sweet and had such a glow and happiness about her, even though her arm was in a sling. She was super sweet to me and my daughter. We were told to say that Mike was also there 😂 they seem to have good team spirit at this location. P.S. love the retro sign and we really hope that it stays forever!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Ordered food on the app in store and it said I was at a different store on my location.

I waited for my food and then asked if I was at the right location.

They said that I was at a different one and took the time to still make my order.

Thoroughly impressed with the service and care at this location.

Lashandra and Mike were fantastic!!“

“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!“

“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“

“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 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“

“Get your speaker fixed!!! You're the best fast food on the Eastside!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“It’s a great place to eat with family and friends 👫 friendly atmosphere great food and it’s always consistent service I love it and recommend anyone to go!!“

“My dogs know if we pull into a drive through that they expect something always. Was at a place nearby and asked for a few fries since the girl pet him and said yes, but they forgot :( I could tell my dog was SO sad, so we pulled right up for some fries. They even gave me some ice cream too and just absolutely made us feel more than welcomed. Thank you to the staff!!!“
