50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Columbus

“My hubby and I did a drive by of this restaurant on the way home. What a gem! The owner is a delightful you man but the food was amazing. We tried the Bulgogi, yellow curry, and Masaman. All were delicious, but the yellow curry was divine. Great job chef!!“

“I visited this establishment on 9-6-2025 at 5:45 the young lady at the window had excellent customer service skills ty young lady 🙃🙃🌸“

“It's good Southern cooking! Love the staff that works there! Our dogs love when we eat there! Cause when we go through the drive thru the staff always give them their own little treats! They give them a few little milk bones. So they sit at the window and wait for their's!“

“This is my FAVORITE location for some reason. They are efficient, friendly, and the restaurant is SPOTLESS!
They have double lines that move things along very quickly, & indoor playground for the kiddos, and the grounds are immaculate!“

“Always great food and every time they send a bonus of something free, Chinese donuts etc. always delicious!“

“We Always make sure that Ms.Marla is working or we do not stop she provides ALL her customers with the greatest ever customer service for a fast food restaurant. We make it up there weekly sometimes more.Food is always as ordered restaurant is spotless very clean and neat even down to the condiment counter.Wish there were more places in the area as well ran as this Guthries on Veteran's Parkway.“

“Front lobby lady, was so nice absolutely lovely lady! Even told me where she got her nails done and it was overall just an amazing experience! Shoutout to the lady with the amazing green nails! Such an angel!! Got me the milkshake so fast too, like it didnt even take 3 minutes!“

“This Chick-fil-A is my absolute favorite. Everyone that works there is always friendly and willing to help with whatever we need. It always seems as if their food is the freshest and they always take time to talk to the kids when we come in. They even have fun events often for the kids the manager there is really nice too. My kids absolutely love to playground there. It is always clean. The bathrooms are always clean as well and that is very important to me because I want my kids to always have clean bathrooms. My kids love to play with the cow mascot when it comes out the cow mascot is always friendly and takes time to play with the kids. We go here about once a week and we love this place. The prices aren’t that bad either they have a really good chicken sandwich and I love their Chick-fil-A sauce. My son usually gets chicken fingers and loves the ranch and also puts ranch on his chicken fingers thank you Chick-fil-A for always making it a great experience for me and the family. We will definitely be going back again soon probably this week ha ha“

“We were on vacation in Columbus, Georgia and stopped in to eat.
We sat down at a table and used the Chick-fil-A app to order our food. It came out quickly, correctly and delicious.
The staff, of course, were pleasant and helpful.“

“My daughter recently got diagnosed with Celiac disease and she has been wanting a burger so badly and Five Guys was recommended for having safe options but I was still a bit worried. I honestly shouldn't have been though. We Door Dashed and while they don't have Gluten-free buns, they have the option of a lettuce wrap or a bowl. She chose a bowl and after we completed our order on the app I called the restaurant to make sure everything was sent over properly. I spoke with the manager on duty and I wish I had gotten her name, we ordered on Saturday, September 5th, and she said anytime we ordered just to call so they can ensure no cross contamination occurs. Door Dash doesn't have any type of spot to notify for dietary restrictions versus preferences which would be nice honestly. We got our order quickly and it was perfect. The fries that were ordered with her bowl were placed in the bag with the bowl then placed in a separate delivery bag away from our burgers with buns. Our daughter got her burger and even without the bun, she was so happy and didn't get sick. We definitely will order again and are so grateful for an amazing job.“

“We ate lunch the other day here for the first time and we were pleasantly surprised! 🩷 You walk in and place your order and then find a place to sit. I ordered the creamy Mac & Cheese and omg!! It had grilled chicken in it and bacon with green onions and bbq sauce comes on it but I got it on the side. My mom’s Korean bbq flavored wings were great and my daughter LOVED her smash cheeseburger!! The I didn’t love the bbq sauce so I ate the Mac & cheese without it but if you did buffalo or ranch it would probably be great too! We will be back for sure!1 especially seeing their wall of beer and wine that is self-serve!“

“Great service! My deluxe hamburger was great. My wife said her fried pickle burger was okay (she wasn’t sure about the cheese). But her chocolate concrete gone before we made it home…. She loved it! Best part for me was that the folks there gave my service puppy a pup cup! Thank you all for the wonderful experience at Culver’s midland“

“You don’t always get a sandwich/burger/etc that looks like the advertising (I’m looking at you McDonalds), but today at this Arby’s I did. It was prepared and wrapped very well. The place was clean, the employees were nice and polite, and overall it was a very good experience.“

“Just perfect! Love the readiness“

“Shout out to mgr & staff for being so nice today. Called to see if they had the new Ruben sandwich & no one answered. Tried again about 5 min later, still no answer. Then to my surprise, someone called me back. I have never had that happen before. Went to the drive thru. The guy who took the order was nice & when I went to the window, he was even nicer. Fast service also. Thanks everyone for being great today. Saturday, Mar 25th @ 12 pm.“

“I hadn’t been in Hardee’s in over 10 years because it’s not in my path from my home.Today me and mom decided to go and the staff was very friendly.Kimberly’ K greeted us with a smile and was very professional.
The manager Sandra delivered our food and also was attentive to our needs.

I ordered the chicken biscuits and the chicken was crispy and fresh, just the way I like it.And the biscuits were very fresh.Not to mention the hasbbrown and the vanilla ice coffee.I will most definitely will come back and recommend to friends and family.“

“I was recieved well, good customer service“

“I work on Fort Benning and we ordered quite a few subs last week. We have been working some long hours and these subs were really great. Everyone who had one said they were the best sub they'd had in a while. Thanks for being great. We'll definitely order again.“

“I love this place they are always nice and the food so good my whole is 6 years old eat a 6 piece chicken wings by herself. I am not sharing my wings. I have also tried the burgers so good. We love how they load us up with fries that is our favorite part and the seasoning. The music is always on point too.“

“The staff is always nice and they always try to help if you need something else or need to add an order or something.

Parking: There are times that you have to go all the way down to the other end in order to park, but that’s because you’re in a strip mall and that is to be expected.

Wheelchair accessibility: There doesn’t always seem to be enough handicap parking.“

“I ordered the firecracker burger and it was good but not spicy. I had next to no lettice, bacon crumbles and no fried Jalapeño pieces but the burger was still good. the snickers blizzard was good but melting...they definitely couldn't do the flip cup on it and the fries were super cold. I'd say it was okay but definitely not the best...they could use a lot of improvements. I try to be considerate of the short staff...also THE DINING ROOM ISNT OPEN even though their website says it is...“

“The cashier vaniyah (sorry if I spelled it wrong but I think it was pronounced: vuh-ny-uh) was really nice and helpful with the menu because it was my first time dining there she also made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and great for the price! Please give vaniya the recognition she deserves. 🫡“

“Love the clean tables and playground. Always fun to bring my grandchild. Enjoyed the quickness of ordering on the app then scanning the code on the table for quick service. They did not bring my diet peach lemonade over right away with the food. 😞 Then forgot the milk and I had to go to the counter to ask for it. Not super busy so someone should recheck orders before they bring them to the table. We enjoyed it once we received it all. As usual always amazing taste.“

“I called because I was trying to get in contact with the Hardee’s in Phenix City, and I have to say, the person who answered the phone deserves a raise! The customer service was outstanding, and my call was answered so quickly.

Based on the excellent customer service I received over the phone, I definitely have to come visit this Hardee’s in person. I already have a feeling the food is delicious and the restaurant is clean. Great job to the team for making such a positive first impression! 👏🏽“

“I tried a whole cinnamon sugar pretzel for the first time this past week and it was great. It was so great that when I went to Atlanta I stopped at the Perimeter Mall location and it was good, but nowhere near as good as it was in Columbus. Leaving a review to say that all Auntie Anne’s are not the same and this location really seems to know what they’re doing.“

“I really like this place, but the price and how expensive these combos are just something. I really like the food, but the chicken tenders are not too breaded. Yeah, I get it about premium quality, but it’s like the canes sauce just does heavy weightlifting while the actual food is just to fill you up.
Hey I recommend getting your Texas toast double buttered, if you don’t want your veggies then you can trade the coleslaw for an extra piece of toast or extra fries, maybe you can ask for the chicken extra crispy.
It’s overall pretty good place but you gotta come if you are willing to pay at least $10 for a regular meal.

My pretty old dad says it’s very expensive for him, I also question why I have to pay $30+ for a family meal?

But otherwise it is a pretty solid place for you to get your chicken tenders, you better get sauce or you’re just missing out on everything.“

“This is most definitely a long due review I used to come here and eat here when I was a kid and recently in the past five years I’ve been able to go back once over two years ago very good down home South Columbus type food with cheap prices no more you can ask for the owner has been a pillar in the community, feeding kids and families in the area of the location for years. Still to this day as he have been gotten older, very worth checking out“

“First time visiting this location. Went for my birthday tonight. Absolutely the best customer service ever! Very clean restaurant as well. Very pleased. I'll definitely be back.“

“I work on Fort Benning and we ordered quite a few subs last week. We have been working some long hours and these subs were really great. Everyone who had one said they were the best sub they'd had in a while. Thanks for being great. We'll definitely order again.“

“Yo they toast your bread love it“

“I place my order through the app and it’s always made correctly. It doesn’t take long even when there seems to be a lot of people waiting. They are very proficient. Staff are always friendly. I love the Coke machine because it has a lot of variety.“

“This is the nicest, cleanest, best service provided Burger King I have ever visited. If every store was operated like this one McDonald's and Chick-fil-A would be in trouble. Thanks for a great job!!“

“I had such a great experience! The food was super fresh and delicious, and the customer service made it even better. Jaliyah was so welcoming and positive you could feel the good vibe as soon as you walked in. She really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Definitely coming back soon!“

“Great breakfast 🥞 A1. Keep up the wonderful work“

“I can only speak of my experience from a DoorDash point of view because I'm a DoorDash driver and pick up from here all the time but that being said they have a 100% clean rating from the health department Pizza smells fresh people order it all the time they even have a drive-thru it's a great little store and a great location I would say keep ordering from here and I'll keep picking them up.“

“I'm kind of upset. I should have never ordered the grouper. I'm not gonna lie, I'm only 30 minutes away. I wanna go back. if I showed you how succulent it was, you'd all wanna come to Georgia? No lie, the ship was fire. I don't want to leave.“

“Haven't been here in years.
But I love chicken tenders. So I decided to give them a try.

Well when I tell you, they did not disappoint. AT ALL.

When I got to the box to order my food, I knew what I wanted and the lady on the other end, understood me well. She was very friendly and nice and didnt get my order wrong. When I got to the window, she was still polite and made sure I got what I needed for my food. When I open my box..... BABBBBY. MY FOOD WAS HOT, FRESH AND DELICIOUS 😋 😍.

I will be returning. The service was great and so was the food.

(I ordered 2 chicken dinners)“

“Love the cleanliness, food made fresh...my new favorite is honey lemon pepper wings with garlic sprinkles...“

“I rarely do this, but guys I have to recognize when I get good service somewhere. And that can be hard to find nowadays. I went to the Burger King tonight and there was a lady named Dakota that rung me up on the inside and just her personality and everything made my day. She seemed happy to be at work, got the order correctly and I told her I'm going to give you a Google review and I did. Management take care of her“

“I’ve been going to this location for years, and I really enjoy the atmosphere and service.“

“Lynn was absolutely phenomenal! She remained professional, kind, and composed even under pressure. I witnessed a situation where another employee appeared to be speaking in a condescending manner, rolling her eyes, and engaging in side conversations, which came across as unprofessional. Despite that, Lynn kept a smile on her face, stayed focused on the customer, and handled everything with grace and professionalism. Her excellent customer service did not go unnoticed. She definitely deserves 5 stars!“

“I haven't had Krystals in quite a few years for obvious reasons and tonight we decided to try again. Ive never been to this location. So glad we did!! Our little Krystal burgers were very delicious and the French fries, I have never cared much for their fries but yall these fries were hot and perfectly salted. Yall have really changed my mind about Krystals. Keep up the good work!!!“

“Outstanding Service for Our Team’s Large Order Kira, the manager, and her team at Jersey Mike’s in Columbus, GA, were absolutely outstanding in preparing 25 sandwiches for my daughter’s college softball team during their tournament. From start to finish, they made the process seamless. Our order was ready upon pickup, with each sandwich labeled with the player’s name—and they got every detail right! Kira went above and beyond, following up via email and text—even on her day off—to ensure everything was perfect. The team was a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend Jersey Mike’s for anyone in town with a large group. Fantastic service and, of course, delicious sandwiches!“

“Even they keeping busy all of time the service is always a A+ I don't want to change my chicken sandwich for another competitor it taste really good and the employees even they are a young fellas they are really friendly and professional“

“This is THE BEST Zaxby's I have ever been in. Friendly and helpful cashier in helping to get the mobile app to work when having an issue placing the order due to an error with the toast even though neither one of us could see the issue. The food was fresh and hot. We were traveling thru so I don't have the opportunity to be a regular at this location even though I wish I could be. It is so much better than those in my area. Great experience!“

“CAM is the best!
He hooked my girlfriend and I up.
He is super nice and friendly and always energetic and carries a smile all the time.
Super professional and super courteous.
Give that man a RAISE!!!!
He deserves it.“

“Service was great and food fresh and hot. Restaurant was clean.“

“Omg!!! If you haven't had the vanilla dipped churro cone... You are missing out!! The churro flavor that hardens into a shell on the vanilla ice cream if you don't know what churro tastes like...If you have ever eaten Cinnamon toast crunch!! That is exactly what it Tasted like.. super sweet and refreshing ...love!! This may only be around for a limited time so if you think you might like this sweet, crunchy, rich , mouth watering delight.... You may want to hurry to your nearest Dairy Queen...“
