17 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Columbia

“Great 🌮 and 🌯 chips and 🥑 they are on 🔥🔥“

“This was my first visit and the service was great. The staff was kiind and patient as I figured out what to order. The ice tea lemonade was very good not to sweet. The chicken fingers were great because they were not salty.

There is a wonderful staff who kept the tables clean and the floors swept as customers left.“

“First off let me ask when did taco bell turn into a HGTV commercial. Super clean and love how it's decorated. Haven't been inside in years.I went in to let the cashier know that there was an error on the app. The order didn't go through, but the payment came out my account. Not only way the meal super solid as usual, but the problem was solved immediately. Thank you!Pro tip for the fans: beefy melt burrito add potatoesChicken avocado burrito add fries. You'll get sent to Nirvana I promise“

“The morning crew is outstanding. They are so pleasant and provide excellent service every visit. Shout out to Robin who makes my day when I see her.“

“My grandson LOVES Chick-fil-A. He just can’t seem to get enough. He is a very very picky eater. I can’t imagine how much money I have spent at Chick-fil-A (probably close to a $1,000.00 or more. The points help a lot when there is no money to purchase his double of strips, fries, sweet teas.“

“This is my favorite chicken joint in HoCo! The strips have the best flavor and if I bought them every time I craved them I’d be as big as a house. I have some minor suggestions for a better experience but none of them take away from how good the food is. 1, I wish you could get a meal with a boba tea. My husband always wants one with his food. 2, The parking lot is small and busy with very little turn around space which can be tricky during peak times. 3, sometimes they forget extra sauces in to-go orders (everywhere does this though), but the last time I carried out the young man at the counter was very accommodating and offered even more sauce if that wasn’t enough. And finally 4, I swear the spice level is different every time I order, lol. It’s fine, it’s not a problem for me but I can see it being a problem for others. Sometimes I get mild and it’s perfect, sometimes it’s not spicy at all, and occasionally my lips will be on fire for 30 min after eating. I’ll continue to daydream about the delicious chicken here and after writing this I think I’ll order today. Yum!

Parking: It’s in a strip with other stores and there is some competition for spots sometimes.

Kid-friendliness: Good size tables for families. Nice vibrant fun decor.“

“Joselyn was fantastic! She greeted us warmly and timed everything perfectly during our meal. Her menu knowledge and attention to detail were impressive. Joselyn’s genuine hospitality made our experience wonderful. She deserves all the praise. Definitely five stars!“

“on a Tuesday night drive thru the person taking my order did a very nice exceptional job at getting my order correct and nice also definitely goes a long way the fries are almost always fresh and the burgers are always warm and fresh it's not a Michelin restaurant but they do a good job of taking care of their customers!“

“I love the convenience of ordering online. Food was ready when I arrived with my family to dine in. With a family of young children, having the food waiting for us when we arrive makes the experience of eating out more enjoyable. The kids aren’t complaining about being hungry or asking when the food will be ready. I try to use this parent hack whenever we decide to dine out.

As for the food, it’s upscale fast casual. Shake Shack is consistent and never seems to disappoint. My kids especially love the crinkle cut fries and milkshakes. My spouse and I enjoy the Chicken Shack sandwiches when we want to change up our entree preferences. Overall, I think Shake Shack is an excellent restaurant for a quick and delicious meal.“

“Service sucks the cashier wouldn’t let us go for 8 CENTS, also the place looked amazing it had plenty of things to keep someone distracted, while u wait 1 minute only for ur food, drinks once paid for immediately gave to you, manager was nice she just said let them go for the 8 cents, all I have to say 3.5 rating for me but the place and the fast given food rises it to 4.0 stars could get new cashiers there extremely rude.

Parking: Parking lot“

“Delicious food and excellent service! 😉“

“Ordered a meal off the app, selected to pick up inside, and it was ready when I arrived. Updated and modern interior. Self-serve soda fountain was not working when I visited, but was still able to get another drink before leaving. Nice workers.“

“I could not be happier.. I feel like I just got off the phone and 5 minutes later my lunch was here ... and delious... I give this location an excellent rating.“

Vegetarian options: Veggie sandwich with cheese among the options

Parking: Large mall parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Kids like the hotdogs and fries

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible“

“Great food, friendly staff. BTW - Am I the only one that thinks Popeyes is the stingiest with condiments though, not just this location, in general, can we get another drop of ketchup and an extra pack of sauce without a special request? If I get three packets of ketchup for an order of fries, they all three go to waste, but hey if I get five packets, I use four and only waste one. Just saying, I’d rather have none or 5, three feels pitiful. Like I want to donate an extra 5 cents so they can afford to offer that extra pack without going out of business. Or maybe we should save them up and have like a special visit where you use all six packets, you know like on your birthday or something. Seriously though, when it’s hot, it’s good and it’s hot today! ??✅✅✅“

“Big shoutout to Sailey. One of the dopest people I’ve ever encountered. Her energy was through the roof. It was my first time trying Mod. She walked me through it & put together a banger of a pizza. Definitely ask for her when you come through.“

“I absolutely love their BLT. I placed my order online and apparently messed it up when trying to add extra bacon and someone from the shop actually called me to ask if I really meant to order a sandwich with out bacon? How rare and refreshing is that? Thanks for the call and going the extra mile.“
