42 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Hayden Lake

“Paul Bunyan has been my go to place for the best burgers and shakes around. The location on Northwest Boulevard and the one in Hayden (can't forget the location in Rathdrum), all have the best tasting food around. And the staff at each location are always smiling and very helpful.“

“Extremely tasty, worth the wait. The chicken teriyaki fries were bomb. The fry sauce mixed with the teriyaki sauce was like a flavor explosion. Totally recommend. They were swamped and working hard but all of the workers were really friendly.“

“Best service ever. Thank you Lindsay! I would’ve been happy with the five inch because the eight was leftovers. Blows Subway out of the water! Naked fries were crispy like I prefer them. We’d never been there before and the staff explained everything to us. I don’t live in cda but will be back next time over!!!“

“Every time I’ve gone to this Wendy’s location I was absolutely satisfied. I usually get the spicy chicken sandwich and I got that at this location. It was absolutely fantastic. The staff was super friendly and super nice. They got
my food out in a timely manner and I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for the good care“

“I like their fish baskets“

“Great quality, great service. Everything is super tasty and great portion sizes.“

“I usually get lucky with who’s working! They always have a good attitude and treat my family good! Pretty clean and comfortable! Gets loud certain times of day, but whatever the pizzas always turn out bomb & hit the spot!🤤“

“In a time such this that we currently live in with shelter at home, and growing restrictions deemed essential from our government regarding the current state of health it is very comforting and reassuring to see how businesses such as ZIPS IN HAYDEN have responded and adapted to ensure public health safety is paramount at the level of service that they provide to the community. We truly appreciate Casey, Charles and the entire ZIPS crew for caring..“

“I live this place but today the phone was busy for well over an hour -maybe phone lines down -but always great food“

“I really like jersey Mike's but the last 2 times I've been the place is filthy dirty, I understand making a sandwich is a messy process, but it was nasty tonight. I like to spend my money here once or twice a week but next time its strike three. if the place was slammed I could see it but it was not busy ,and plenty of employees. if I was the manager I'd be embarrassed, if I was owner I'd be pissed, but im neither so help me continue my hunger for jersey Mike's best sandwich out there,“

“The best run DQ in the area. The staff is very friendly, professional, and hustles to get the job done, even when they're slammed! I am also a gig worker/ delivery driver and they take very good care of us drivers. Patrick in the drive-thru and front counter is always on his game and a true professional. One of the best fast food workers I have come across in my thousands of deliveries in the Spokane/Cd'A area.“

“Fabulous food.... fantastic service!!!! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Can’t wait till one open on Long Island!!!!!!“

“This is probably best Wendy's in town. I'll drive out of my way to eat here the few times we have fast food. Everything is clean, everything tastes like i remembered Wendy's tastinglike. Everything is prepared so pretty, didn't even feel like fast food. With construction nobody is here, so I'm a big fan.“

“The guy working in the dining room at approximately 8:05 pm on 6/29/2026 deserves a raise. I’m not sure his name but he is on the shorter side and had a low bun. In the time we were here he single handedly cleaned the whole place and no crumb was left. He silently worked and restocked the condiments and swept the floors, invisible to most. But not me. He was just perfect. Thank you no named fella. Because of you I will return to five guys.“

“Been to Roger’s on Government Way many times and it never lets us down. The staff re friendly and helpful!! Keep it up!!“

“Messy's was once a favorite of my family's, but my most recent order was rather disappointing. The burgers are not as tasty nor rich as they have been. On top of that they were out of ice at noon on a Thursday? So we received warm drinks. Service was mediocre. Inflation is hitting us all, so the price was understandable, but the food-to-price value does not seem as good as it had been.“

“Butterscotch Milkshake; yummy“

“that kelly chick is amazing. she was the only one working today and it was busy busy busy. i felt so bad for her but she held her own with the long line. she definitely needs a good praise for her hard work she was order taker,cashier and cook this whole time. well done kelly“

“Blizzards are always delicious.“

“Don't know if they got a new cook or what, but their burgers were better than ever! I was sad they didn't have the fried pickles any more, but the garlic bites didn't disappoint. I love the different options for the kids menu, there's always something my picky kids will eat!“

“Been to Roger’s on Government Way many times and it never lets us down. The staff re friendly and helpful!! Keep it up!!“

“Worse experience ever. Guy in the window was rude. Gave me a beverage and when it leaked in my truck just said I can give you a new lid. Handed that to me andas I was dealing with the leaky cup then said here's your food and wanted me out of the way.“

“Our cashier Elijah was the GOAT 🔥🔥🔥unrivaled customer service, I’ve never had a better experience at any restaurant EVER, truly unmatched, so you should definitely give that guy a raise and even promote him to manager, cause he was awesome 😎“

“Terrin was extremely professional and very nice his enthusiasm made it a great place to eat and nice place to visit. Thanks so much!I will be returning definitely. Also the team was clearly working very hard. This store should be very proud of these employees!“

“Stopped in for our first ever Paul Bunyan experience. The food was delicious, cooked to order, and ready pretty quickly. The service was great. The young guy working up front was very personable. The special Huckleberry shake is a must get!“

“I'm from Southern California and I would normally eat del Taco at least once or twice a week. I was very happy to see a Del Taco up here in the northwest! Add 2 1/2 lb bean and cheese burritos with extra green sauce and extra cheese accompanied with del scorcho and mild sauce.“

“One of the cleanest restaurants a I've been to. The employees are always on the move cooking, cleaning or serving. They always greet me when I walk in and the food quality is outstanding vs other Pandas I've been to. I've reviewed several restaurants and don't believe I've ever rated any of them 5 stars. They serve large portions and always ask if I want somthing fresh if they're almost out of a product. Definitely appreciate a restaurant that obviously takes service seriously. Thank you“

“Five stars all around, but particularly for the service. I am always greeted politely and made to feel very welcome, they have my usual order and I just walk up and pay and they have already started on it, so it is very quick. I can’t see myself going anywhere else for lunch, this is my very own Zips family. 11/10.“

“I walked into the middle of a difficult situation with another customer and I watched the employees do absolute everything in their power to rectify the situation, plus they were unbelievably respectful despite the other person's aggressive behavior. I think each of them deserves a raise!“

“One of my favorite McDonald's locations. Their food is hot and fresh, and their staff are hospitable and always on top of things. I went to the front desk to ask for water, recieved help immediately and, in the short time it took to get it to me, two other employees tried to serve me. 👍👍“

“The food is good for when I get off work and don't want to go home and cook. Friendly staff too. 👍👍👍“

“Was in pick up/take out food line outside. Waited a bit too long for food. Finally got it, then realized they had our order WRONG. Went it to counter to ask to get our order correct. Staff continued to ignore all customers at counter. An UBER driver finally had to yell at them to help. Service was terrible. They need to bring back proper customer service ethics! Yes, people do make mistakes but please stop ignoring those who need help.“

“Food is always great, but wish they'd go back to ordering at the menu in drive thru & not an employee standing outside. I tend to order more when I can see & read the menu, instead of memorizing what I want to order. Kind of annoying.“

“I went through the drive-thru tonight around 6:00 p.m. for the Jack in the box on Ramsey they were the most efficient drive-thru that I have been through yet the gentleman taking my orders intending to drive through was so nice very professional customer service was outstanding I would definitely recommend and I will return for sure“

“I put in a huge order online. They not only had it ready on time, but we're pleasant and helpful for my entire order. This by far has been the best taco bell I've ever ordered from and the employees there were beyond accommodating!“

“Average Arby’s, we went through the drive-through service was good very polite, very fast and efficient. They did happen to be out of horsey sauce, which was kind of sad lol but we may do got the double. Beef and cheddar and a regular roast beef and some curly fries“

“Their Coney Island dog is absolutely the best. It just hits a spot especially if you get it with extra onions it’s absolutely fantastic. They also have a bunch of good drinks as well as sweet treats. Highly recommend them. The staff does try very hard.“

“The lady that made my pizzas had ⭐️⭐️'s tattooed on her 👂👂's too!!! I thought that I was the only crazy one for tattooing my ears and I thought maybe cuz it was dorky or something, but she said she liked the ⭐️ ⭐️'s on my 👂 👂's and showed me hers, which went all up one of her 👂's, I had noticed her ears, but she said something first 😆 and she also said it's becoming a thing now, 👂 tattoos! And we both agreed, well, we got ours done first! But, she was awesome. Made our 🍕 fast, was very friendly. Yet professional!“

“The stocking weren’t hung by the chimney with care... in hopes that jimmy Johns soon would be there. (Sandwiches were too heavy for the stocking weights )“

“My family loves Papa John’s but are starting to get frustrated with the assembly of the pizzas. They put the TOPPINGS on first and then the cheeses. The result is all the cheese and toppings slide off the the crust and it is very difficult to hold/eat. Please assemble correctly in the future. It is insane we have to ask for the pizzas to be assembled correctly.“

“These guys overdelivered! We love Subway Tuna Salads, and the guys at this Subway did a great job making them. Very generous in the portions and accommodating in special requests. We ate in the very clean dining room with friendly atmosphere.“

“3rd time eating here & every time the dining area has been a pigsty. Food & napkins all over the floor & at east half the tables are dirty. Same as our last 2 visits. I seriously doubt we will come back. I don't care how good the food is. terrible dining experience. pics are AFTER they "cleaned up".“
