40 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Lake Charles

“Bailey was our waiter tonight and he was great!!! He took care of our needs and with a happy face, Thank you to Bailey for making our dinning experiance great!!!!!“

“WOW!! Best Pizza Hut around! Ordering was a breeze! I ordered for pick up. When I went to go pick up my order the employees there were extremely welcoming as soon as I opened the door! What an energetic team! My order was perfectly cooked to my liking! Would highly recommend! 🍕“

“Zues’ chicken shwarma is so amazing 😭. I wish I could eat it everyday I would be FAT FAT“

“My wife and I went to Popeyes on Lake Street at about 5:15 p.m., they had no customers in the lobby and 3 employees hanging around the front counter. We were not recognized at all! We waited for about 45 seconds and eye contact was finally made and still not greeted. One of the girls finally asked if they could take our order, I started to tell her that I wanted to order a 16 piece family meal and she literally walked away and didn't say a word! We immediately left and decided to go try Golden Chick. When we arrived we were immediately greeted by a polite young lady and a young man named Jacob. We found out that it was the young ladies first day and Jacob was training her, he explained everything on the menu to us that we asked about all while training her. I can't say enough about this young man. And his attention to the customers, we were very pleased with our experience in the food was fantastic. Definitely will be back and never going to Popeyes on lake street again..“

“Older general men was friendly, professional, and made sure my order was accurate and ready on time. You can tell he cares about his customers. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Thank you for the excellent service keep up the amazing work!Great employee.“

“The Golden Roast & yeast rolls are very good! Everything was served hot and the side salad served was fresh.“

“Thanks for hosting us for spirit night!“

“I have always loved this location, but last night wasn't the best. Both meals barely had any fries. I counted 4 whole fries out of both combined and the rest was tiny pieces.“

“Great food! Great service! Always hot and fresh!“

“Have not been to an Arby’s since the “Mall-hub” days back in the late 90’s…saw some negative reviews & was astonished! We were greeted as we entered by staff, the cashier was friendly & informed on menu options, and though we waited for 11 minutes…the staff brought us our food to our table (other restaurants simply call you for pickup at the counter) and even apologized for the delay. I must admit, I felt a sense of nostalgia dining here today (wish service was as good as it used to be again)! Also, the eating area smelt clean, and the decor seemed corporate-level appropriate…inviting to customers. The food was tasty, hot & met expectations….only negative is that one of their condiment spouts was a little dirty & almost empty…& our table was not mounted & slid a bit when we sat. Wish we had this place where we live…here you get attitudes from young workers & old bosses that clearly hate their jobs!“

“Good burgers. Were less expensive than the competition. I was surprised at how big, hearty and flavorful they were for what I payed. Their fries are famous for a reason. They did not disappoint. I gave them an all around 4 star rating based on disbelief. Surely they are not a perfect organization. I will be a regular customer and up them up a star based on performance, integrity, and overall commitment to customer satisfaction.“

“Hello, I just have to get on here about subway on nelson!! I just wanted to say I had a great experience!! I made an account just to say this because I usually don't go to this subway, but the two ladies behind the counter this morning were so polite, welcomed me with a smile, and had a decent conversation with me!! 10/10 will go again“

“I’m not sure what the kind ladies name was today, 6/11/26 but she did amazing! The best sandwich I’ve had in a while. Everything is fresh, tasty and perfect portions. All while working by herself during a lunch rush. This will be my go-to as long as she’s there. She absolutely deserves a raise!“

“Ham and swiss is delicious. Wonderful friendly, and respectful staff.“

“Good food 🥘 and drinks 🥤 !!“

“I love this subway. The employee named Naomi always makes my sandwiches perfectly and without complaint or judgement (I’m very picky). I will say though the bathrooms were not the best, but I do not fault the employees. There’s this little thrift shop right next to the subway, that gets real busy, and I notice people love to come in and out of the subway to not get food but just use the bathroom. I hope this subway considers getting a key for there bathrooms, or implicates a “bathroom for customers only” rule. Other than that I love this subway and their employees.“

“Delicious food and great pricing!“

“I work across the street and visit this location alot and I can honestly say this is absolutely one of the best subways in town. Caylee is always friendly, remembers my order and makes it quick. The food is always fresh and restocked. Overall Great experience.“

“Went to the drive-thru around 8:15 p.m. andI must say, that crew was amazing. The young man, I believe Jaylin or something with a J, who took my order, was so pleasant with great customer service! My orders were right & our food was fresh. My daughter & I finally enjoyed our meal for once. ??“

“Not sure if the manager will see this but I drive from Houston, TX to this Taco Bell because it’s the BEST!!!! The portions are amazing & definitely get what you paid for! Night crew are amazing! 3:11am 1/6/2026. The crew were overall amazing“

“We ordered a big buford, 2 drinks, 2 fries for us, and a small cheeseburger for the dogs. The employees were friendly, smiling, and delivered our order to us in what I think is a pretty good time. This drive-thru experience was a great start to a long drive.“

“This is the only subway i go to for many reason's. Its always super clean and sanitary the food is fantastic and i get to see Ms. Arlene and Ms. Kathy which have both been a blessing to myself and my family as long as im in town im coming to this subway. ❤️ Love the people and the atmosphere.“

“Love me some sonic .. foot long chili cheese coney is my favorite and a big nasty Dr Pepper ♥️“

“I stop here most mornings and get 2 jr breakfast burritos on my way to work. Everyone of the staff is friendly and courteous and the food is 9/10 times fast and delicious. The app is a game changer in getting in/out quickly. Blake, Tonya and all the other morning carhops are great!“

“My 1st experience here 8/29/24 was terrible. The "top picks" Elite Chicken & Bacon Ranch sandwich sounded delicious, so I ordered it via the app. I let them know I placed an online order & was waiting at 1 of their tables. They flagged me down right when they finished making my sandwich & I immediately drove over to the Golden Nugget. I was famished, so unfortunately, I inhaled the 1st half on the drive over - yuck, it was cold!! ? After I parked, I double-checked my receipt & it definitely showed "toasted" on it, but they definitely did not toast nor warm anything on my sandwich. It made my tummy off - I couldn't finish the rest of it, so I sadly threw the rest of the footlong away. ?

After my extremely disappointing sandwich, I provided my 1st Subway survey feedback. A couple of days later, I was surprised that I got an email from the owner. In order to try to rectify the mistake, she offered me a free replacement footlong. ❤️

I'm not a local, so I had to wait a bit to redeem the sandwich on my next Lake Charles road trip. Fast forward to 11/5/24 - I finally redeemed my free footlong. ? Instead of ordering something new/exciting, I just went with my traditional favorite, the meatball sub. Definitely hit the spot with the usual Subway deliciousness!! ?“

“It’s chicken how hard can it be?“

“2258 is one of the best locations every since that big guy got into position“

“DIDN’T HONOR YOUR SPECIAL“

“Been getting food here a long time because they are so close. In all the years we've only had a problem once and they replaced the whole order without question. Nice, friendly and sometimes funny staff. Thanks guys, see you all again very soon.“

“It’s not like the good old days, when people cared, regardless of pay, they understood their job. This is not a jab, it makes me sad to see how impolite and rude the overall experience I see going on around me every time I enter the Dairy Queen. Customers are always mad, it’s a tense atmosphere, I’ve been asked “What you want” when I walked up to the counter one time, and I felt like I was being a problem for wanting to order food. I still love Dairy Queen and always will, i left 5 stars, only 2 for the atmosphere. I am older and I’m sure I will get a lot of hate, but I’m old enough to speak my opinion too. Thanks, and the blizzards are good.“

“Great food! Great service w/a smile!👍🏻“

“The sandwich artist on this Sunday morning made the best sandwich ever! It was terrific. Loaded with veggies and delicious. Additionally, the location was super clean. The worker on this morning really cared, was friendly and kind. I wish all my Subway experiences were this great!!!“

“I just have to make a good comment about my experience today! My little boy and I went here to get us a drink. The kiddo ordered a blue coconut slush, but asked for 2 cherries in it, not the flavoring, but the actual cherry, because he likes to eat them. Our drinks came out, and he didn't have any cherries (granted I was charged for syrup, anyways), so after handing the carhop her tip, I asked her if she wouldn't mind grabbing just 2 cherries for my baby, and said sure. She came back with a kid cup full of the cherries! The look on my kiddos face was priceless! He was so excited about those cherries. It's not always the big stuff in life that makes us happy. So, thank you to the wonderful lady that put a huge grin on my boys face 30 mins ago. It is definitely appreciated!“

“This Taco Bell is the best I’ve ever been to! My order was finally accurate and customer service was amazing! The Cantina Crispy Chicken was hot, fresh and delicious! My new favorite Taco Bell to visit!“

“I work at the mall and come here almost every shift to get fries and a drink. The lady who works the register most of the time is really sweet, hard working, and always so nice! Those who are cooking are also really efficient; every time I go they get me my fries within a few minutes, often less than 3. Great place!“

“Yummy Yummy Yummy Food 😋And Excellent Staff“

“5:44 pm. As usual, this is THE BURGER KING in the area. My experience this time i drove thru drive thru and my food a whopper combo no pickles, coke and a whopper patty (no seasoning) for my puppy.
The food was consistently good w/o the grease that other bk restaurants may leave. Nope the burgers especially the bins weren't soggy, fries were fresh the whopper patty for the pup was good too. The crew have been great as well and if they made a mistake they go and fix it immediately!!! W/o question from the order to handing the food to me.
This crew and restaurant have been friendly, willing to actually listen and HELP their customers to make each order YOUR WAY...They live their motto not just saying the words...
THE BEST BURGER KING IN LAKE CHARLES.....GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!!!“

“My family and I absolutely love this location !!!!! We live in Iowa and we pass every subway just to go to this location. Lakeyn and Emma are the most polite well mannered young ladies, always keeps a clean store and there veggies are always so pretty ... Thanks guys keep up the good work“

“I went in the store the other day and Mr Marquez was by himself due to some circumstances I can't recall. It was busy but he was calm yet efficient. Still cordial and smiling under pressure. Our sandwiches were perfect. Well done, Sir.“

“This was the first time I went to Burger King that I didn't have to wait a long time, the service was WONDERFUL, and everything I ordered was available!!!! Top knotch!!!!“
