10 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Ankeny

“Just a short 7-minute drive east of Ankeny Dental Professionals, Chick-fil-A is my go-to spot for a quick, satisfying meal. Their signature chicken sandwiches, crispy waffle fries, and refreshing lemonade never disappoint! The service is always top-notch, with friendly staff, speedy orders, and consistently fresh, hot food.\n\nThe restaurant is clean and inviting, whether you're dining in or taking food to go. I especially love the efficiency of their drive-thru, which makes it super convenient for a busy day. If you're nearby and craving some delicious Chick-fil-A, this location is definitely worth stopping by!“

“Went through the drive thru yesterday for lunch for my toddler. The line was crazy for drivers side so we went through passenger side and I let him pass the money out his own window and get his food. He loved it and the guy working the window was amazing with him! He had the biggest smile!“

“Fast, polite and kind service with ordering and additional breadsticks. Speaking of the breadsticks, they are delicious as well as their entrees. The sampler platter is perfect to satisfy hunger both initially and portions saved for later.“

“Great customer service from manager, Robin G. She is real customer oriented and provide excellent customer service. Good to see employers care about customer satisfaction. She was extremely helpful and told me about the deal that saved me money. Way APPRECIATE that❤️. You should treasure such an amazing employee!!!! I’ll definitely be back and spread the word.“

“I am the type of person that loves positivity and giving great reviews. Give honor to where honor is due. And I give great reviews, call the managers and praise the service all the time. I have also had my share of terrible service and/or food and usually do not say a word. The experience I had this afternoon at Culvers in Ankeny was horrendous. The food that is. The drive through guy that took my order, payment and delivery was so kind and helpful. I ordered a cod dinner and was only able to eat some of the fish. The 2 sides I ordered were cheese curds and fries. Both were so cold, hard and dry. I was so disappointed. The roll that came with it was cold, hard and dry as well. The butter was good! I did eat most of the fish but it too was tough. WHAT has happened to Culvers? Don't they realize that they are not the only option for food? Sad to say but I will be going to those other options for my meals in the future. The concrete I ordered was sloppy (down side of cup) and melting but did taste good. I HATE leaving a poor review but come on Culvers. Do better. Be better. If it had been just 1 food this review would never have been written. Oh, side note. This was after the lunch rush and before dinner rush. It was close to 2. Got right into drive through with no waiting. Disappointed.“

“I don't usually leave reviews but truly I must after the incredible experience we just had here. My kids are your typical picky eaters and getting them to eat is usually quite a task. Instead of the usual, both my kids devoured thier burgers, and were even asking if they could get another burger. They are currently talking about how they can't wait to go back. The atmosphere was fun and the staff was just as fun while still being professional. The food...the food was absolutely scrumptious. We will be back soon and greatly appreciate how one stop has made our entire day brighter.“

“This store is so good! The staff are friendly and attentive, and the food, prepared as requested, tasted great!“

“Wendy's offers some options that I enjoy better than McDonald's. My go-tos are the $5 and $6 Biggie Baskets. You get a delicious burger, soft drink, fries, and chicken nuggets for $5 or $6. Customer service is always fast, professional, and kind. Parking is free and more than ample as there is a large, free parking lot. Wendy's offers good food for a great value, and I recommend this location.
