40 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Springfield

“A must stop in Springfield - especially if you've never been. I've been coming here since I was a kid & it's one of the places I crave most when working out of state. Love a good cozy dog, burgers and fries are also delicious & the staff is always great!“

“Fast and fresh food! Love the sushi combo with egg roll for a quick meal! Their bowls are good too! Also, if you want to have a beer, they are pretty cheap too!“

“I always come here with my boyfriend, our absolute favorite place to eat, i literally recommend this to EVERYONE that reads this. The food comes out extremely hot and so delicious, everything is good on the menu, it’s never a miss. Literally will come here till I die“

“We have visited a few times over the last month or so. I've noticed that every single time we go, everyone working here is soooo nice and friendly. They seem genuinely happy to help you. From the cashier to the people walking around checking tables. This is really appreciated.“

“Good fast food, great service and good friendly workers. Very clean inside. salads and grilled chicken the best !“

“I stopped by the drive-thru for the first time yesterday. I ordered the gyro plate. It is easily enough food for two people. It was fresh and tasty. The fries were crisp and they reheated well the next day. I absolutely plan to make this place a regular stop!“

“I just went through the drive thru on August 3 at midnight and got THE BEST Frisco burger I've ever had from Hardee's. Employees were super friendly too.“

“Just got a5 dollar snack deal and got 8 pickle 🥒 on my single cheese burger and no strawberry 🍓 in my Sunday just the juice . called and the kid said he made it and I was full of shit . Been going there for years never again“

“Patty melt and Oreo concrete“

“Great food! But you’ll pay 3 times more than what it’s worth. If you ate as much as the people on the wall posters did in the 40s, you’ll pay over $100 a person 🤣“

“Absolutely delicious!!!!! 12/10!“

“Dave's is always consistently superb in food quality and this location is no different. I wanted to give a shout-out to the team tonight - I've never received my order from ANY Dave's when they said it would be ready. This location had my food ready as soon as I walked in. Keep it up!“

“Super good. I would eat here again. Dude who made my sandwich is an artist.“

“Great food best wings in the area“

“The food is always good, but I have never seen a more miserable looking staff. I honestly can not think of a single time that I have seen anyone working there crack a smile. The entire staff look like they hate being there and have no interest in the concept of 'service with a smile'.“

“I love their sandwiches but just ordered the French dip and the is hardly any dip! I got a side of the juice with not even an eighth if in inch of juice! This is why I don’t like drive thru!“

“I had a host of family come visit from out of town. I ordered 50 piece wings from California Kitchen, it came with fries and 2 cans of pop. I was told 15 minutes for pick up and did not check the food prior to leaving. The chicken was fried very hard and wasn't good. I didn't call until the next morning and spoke to a manager. The manager was pleasant and very understanding. I was able to bring back the chicken from the previous day and recieved a full new 50 piece meal for my visiting family. He even asked if I wanted to keep the order that was messed up. Amazing customer service and the food was really good. I would always order from them, they really know how to treat their customers!! The new location is great too!.“

“we drive over from. Decatur once a week always 🔥 worth the drive always.....“

“Overall Cool people for years . Good Food also get near ASAP.“

“Thank you for having the new Non-Dairy Dilly Bar...very tasty!“

“with COVID-19 drive thru is still open AND if you have a vehicle too big to fit through the drive thru or you have no vehicle at all you are still welcome. just walk up to the window 😀“

“Although we live almost two hours away from Springfield, IL, we do go there for shopping and medical appointments. Soooo....gotta grab some lunch somehwere...\n\n We have been to this Jersey Mike's location several times and have never been disappointed. The staff is upbeat, cheerful, and accurate in assembling the orders.\nThe property is reasonably clean, including the bathrooms.\n\nDuring the lunch rush hour they do lag a little in keeping the tables clean but I cannot justify dinging them for that.\n\nFor three adults our bill was $45, including a takeout jar of their fabulous hot pepper sauce.\n\nBy the way, we were at another eatery, a sit down establishment, and because of several circumstances, we chose to vacate those premises. So glad we did because with the speed of service at JM's, we could enjoy our selections without annoyance and our son got to work on time!“

“Service was good, food was very good, and cooked to satisfaction, save for the hush puppies, they were very greasy and undercooked, possibly did not have the oil hot enough.The chicken portions were dainty at best.Wanted salmon but we're out. Other than that all was good and still a decent value. Would eat there again“

“So many fast food places in the Springfield area blow me away with their disrespectful, crappy practices, (mcD on Chatham rd for example) this Sonic is one of the few places in the Springfield area where the crew has some sense, they are kind, they have good customer service and they do their job well, thank you guys“

“My pregnant fiancé was craving fried pickles & since they are a 5 min drive away from us we always choose silver 7s not only the good food but the welcoming atmosphere it was 3 mins until kitchen closed & we informed the waitress we can go find something else we didn’t want to be a bother she didn’t let us leave without a meal & was very reassuring that it was no big deal ! Thank you silver 7s for serving my family with great food every single visit.“

“Came thru on a Friday night a little after 8pm and had the best curly fries I have ever had in my life here!! I never eat all my curly fries maybe a quarter of a box, tonight I ate my entire box and wanted more! Got and fresh, not sure if it was just a fluke we had hot fries or if they just cook to order but if it’s not just a fluke, This will be our go to Arby’s in town even though we live closer to the other one!!!“

“Super great food and beverages! Try it and you’ll fall in love with it! Awesome and friendly staff!!!“

“We love Gyro Stop. The food never disappoints and the staff is great. But if you close at a certain time, that should mean you close at that time. I tried to call in an order 45 minutes before close, which I think is reasonable. I got a recording that said they prefer online orders. Great! So do I. Nope. They stop taking those an hour before close. Called again and the recording gave me the options and I selected to speak to someone to place an order and was placed on hold. After a minute or so, I was told they couldn't take my call and to try again in 5-10 minutes. I decided to just go in and place it. Nope. Door was locked 30 minutes before close. I'm sorry but this is unacceptable. I've worked in the service industry so I am very understanding of the employees' time but if you say you're open until 7 (this was a Saturday), then stay open until 7.“

“This Clear lake location is the only one I will go to in Springfield. The staff have always been friendly and the food is pretty consistently fresh. My favorite is the sweet tea, made just right. I will also go out of my way to go to the Taylorville McDonald's!

As far as the other Springfield and Chatham locations, the employees need a lesson on work ethic and food service. The food is cold and fries cold and are always warmed over. And they are RUDE!
That's the result of pure laziness.
The Archer Elevator location....awful. THE STAFF IS RUDE!
I even refuse to go the the Chatham location!
It's pretty bad when the majority of the McDonald's here have such bad service.
Time for a major review by the ownersof their restaurants, I'd say.“

“We pulled off the road in Springfield to grab a quick bite. This Arby's was just what we needed. The staff were super polite and patient as we revisited the menu. Our food came out hot and neatly prepared. The dining room and always troublesome sauce and napkin area was spotless. We even helped ourselves to some refills for the miles ahead. Thanks Arby's Springfield!!“

“First time dining here. Large menu and really large portions. Besides the gyro, they have schwarma, other Indian food, falafal, fried chicken and fish, hamburgers, hot dogs and sausage, and more. My wife had the loaded potato which was a spicy mixture of baked potato pieces, broccoli florets, grilled onions, cheese, and more. She couldn't eat all of it. I had the gyro meal. The gyro was so stuffed that I had difficulty getting it into my mouth and had to eat some of the filling before I could fold it together to pick it up.“

“The food was good as always. I ordered unsweet tea, but got sweet tea. I didn't discover this until I got home. I live halfway across town, so I didn't bother taking it back. But I was stuck without a drink, as I'm a type 2 diabetic and can't have the sugar. It was on my receipt as unsweet tea. I wish they would pay more attention to what they're doing. This has happened before at this same Taco Bell location.“

“Thank you for having the new Non-Dairy Dilly Bar...very tasty!“

“I don't generally go to Panda Express. I was genuinely impressed with the service that I received. I found everyone to be courteous and they smiled. Everything was relatively clean and inviting. I would probably consider dropping by another location of this chain or maybe even stop back by this one if I were in the area.“

“I normally work door dash from here but tonight im a dine in customer and I must say. The customer service is out of this world. If able to I'd give 100 stars!! Employees are amazing and have a very amazing trainer and boss. Ive been to multiple steak and shakes before and NOTHING and NOWHERE tops the springfield Wabash location!!! Keep up the amazing work yall!!“

“There was a huge line when i got there and the workers were very efficient at getting them their orders and out the door. Elli and cameron were super nice and made one of the best sandwiches ive ever had at subway. Thank you guys for the excellent service.“

“Our absolute favorite Mexican fast food! Great service and the best Sanchos ever!!!“

“if I was on my death bed and or about to go on death row ...any meal from this place would be my choice .02/28/95,07/02/95 bet !“

“Very friendly staff, clean, pleasant and the manager Shakaib was very professional. He was running food, helping clean up spilled drinks and overall just a pleasant person. This was my first time at this location. The moment we walked in everyone was nice and helpful. Our food was hot, fresh and brought to our table. It was very nice.“

“These folks are great. I went on a late night taco run with my daughter and was impressed at the cleanliness of the storefront, the attentiveNess of the employees, and the speed at which the food items were ready. Prices at Taco Bell aren't cheap anymore but I do appreciate all of the ways that their service makes up for those higher prices.“
