17 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Waterloo

“We had a really good experience at Chick-fil-A. The service was friendly, quick, and organized, which is always one of the things I appreciate most about this place. Even when they are busy, the staff usually keeps everything moving smoothly and makes the experience feel pleasant.

We tried the new sandwich without bacon, and we really liked it. It was fresh, flavorful, and still tasted great even without the bacon. The chicken was cooked well, the bun was soft, and everything came together nicely. It felt like a good new option on the menu, especially for anyone who wants to skip bacon but still enjoy a filling and tasty sandwich.

The only thing I would mention is the fruit cup. It did not look as fresh as expected and seemed a little old compared to the rest of the meal. Since Chick-fil-A usually has good quality sides, I was hoping the fruit would look brighter and fresher.

Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back. The sandwich was a hit, the service was great, and the overall experience was very positive. Just hoping the fruit cups can be a little fresher next time.“

“The food and environment was amazing and friendly“

“Whenever I am in the area, I love to stop at Taco John's!!! 🌮 They always have amazing food and great customer service. Caleb, in the drive-thru was really accommodating/helpful when I added on to my order at the window. It's SUPER rare here, but if I ever have an issue they are always eager to fix it. 😊“

“My Server when I walked into the door was Amazing! he was helpful, Attentive, Respectful, Responsible! I entirely enjoyed my experience. My food was Amazing. The same server who took my money brought me my foiled and asked me if there was Anything else he could do or get me. It was a Pure pleasure to eat lunch here today! Yummy and relaxing and delicious!! I will definitely come by again.“

“WENDYS Greyhound is one if the only fast food places I'll eat at. I know everything is hot and fresh the people are amazing. Plus it's the fastest diner in Wloo with no waiting and smiles at the windows and I side . I love the people and place“

“I stopped in on New Years Eve to kill two birds with one stone, a bottle of champagne for later and dinner on my way home. Champagne ✓. A few nice upscale choices. What knocked my socks off was the cheeseburger and fries. Good ingredients cooked up by a real short-order cook who knew his trade. This is no fast food joint that we've allowed ourselves to become accustomed to. I haven't had fries that good in years. The proprietor was as helpful as could be too.“

“I recently visited Arby's and tried their half pound roast beef sandwich. The sandwich was absolutely delicious – the roast beef was tender and flavorful, and the portion size was very generous. The sesame seed bun was soft and fresh, and the horseradish sauce added a nice kick to the overall flavor. The service was quick and the staff was friendly, making for a pleasant dining experience. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 is because the fries were a bit on the greasy side. Overall, I highly recommend trying the half pound roast beef sandwich at Arby's – it's definitely worth the visit!“

“It’s way better than others yet they do get your order wrong quite a bit so please check your pizza’s before leaving. The Cinnabons are delicious & priced well. The food is always hot & if you call to tell them an order mistake, the employees are kind enough to give you a credit, have you pick up another or deliver. I would recommend.“

“What do you get when you cross a guy from Colorado, Village Inn and Taco Bell?Taco Bell's Famous Nacho Fries and Nacho Sauce mixed together with Green Chili courtesy of Village Inn combine to create... Green Chili Nacho Fries! Try it. You'll thank me later.“

“Wanted to try this place since I moved here in Dec and finally made it in.
Food and service were fantastic. Large swerving. Reasonably priced. The two guys working were extremely friendly.

Will happily go back. Highly recommend for gyro and few other Mediterranean food items. Fried chicken and various sides also served.“

“This DQ is old. I prefer the CF one off of highway 20. They will make your ice cream, that's all I can really say regarding that. There's never been a time I've had a complaint about that.

Hesitate to give 5 full stars because a lot of the time I come in the employees look like they want to kill themselves. They all look like high schoolers usually.

Either way, it's not enough to deter me from coming here. They have a big fridge of cakes you can look at and there is a cool little mirror where the tables are. Not sure why it's there, but it keeps me entertained while I wait the ~5 minutes for my ice cream.

Parking: Not many spots, but they're usually never occupied. No worries regarding that.

Kid-friendliness: You can send your kid to the little bendy mirror and have them be fascinated at it while they wait for their ice cream. Never let me down once.“

“I was seriously shocked by the excellent customer service we received at this Panda Express. I’m talking Chick-fil-A-level customer service! Every time you walk in, you’re greeted immediately, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Plus, the food is great! This location really stands out, and I’ll definitely be back.“

“On 6/5/26 ,Outstanding customer service! We arrived about 10 minutes before closing, and the staff(2 ladies) greeted us with a smile and happily took our order. They were friendly, patient, and made us feel welcome. It’s refreshing to see employees who still provide excellent service right up until closing time. Thank you, Hardee’s team!“

“I went thru the drive thru today and just wanted to pass along a compliment. I was helped at the window ( I think he also took my order) by a gentleman who seemed to be learning the ropes. In a world that has lately produced some not so pleasant people, this guy was great. Very pleasant,personable and just seemed to be a happy guy. I hope this guy sticks with it and doesn’t change a bit!“

“waiting from 1:30-3 for food I ordered, I called they said they never recieved the order then I checked my email and saw the email confirmation from pizza hut so I called back and asked about my order and the lady said she tried to call me to verify the amount of wings I ordered (24) but didn't get a answer. I have no missed calls or voicemails.“

“The gentleman this morning, owner I think? amazing I will go out of my way to come to this DQ“

“The food here is always good, and the staff work hard to fix your meal up fast so you can get going. If you want a healthy sub with lots of veggies, this is the place to go!

Vegetarian options: Lots of veggies and cheese to choose from.

Parking: Plenty of room to park close to the door“
