48 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Mahtomedi

“I’ve had a couple orders, not seem like the normal way I usually receive them. Had a blizzard I basically had to mix up myself so it would look like chocolate. Think they forgot an ingredient. I worked at a DQ when I was younger so I get it. ( I did the same thing one time) Just need more training. Otherwise service is usually decently fast even when busy!“

“Great food good ambiance! Awesome staff !“

“Never tried this place before but the employees were super polite & professional. I asked what was good to eat and I got an immediate suggestion. Which I took because he was so sure when he said it. It was the Brisket Grilled Cheese sandwich and it was amazing! A tad on the small side but still just right along with the soup or salad side. Plus, the chocolate dipped strawberry was the perfect ending. Kinda pricey but what isn't these days and the food quality was excellent. I will definitely be back!“

“Great chicken strips saw it on shark tank.Fast service and very clean.Will be back“

“It's one of the better Cane's I've been too amd don't over look the bulk ordering for parties. 100 finger, coleslaw and toast for less then 200. It was perfect for a group or work for lunch. The workers are super friendly here too“

“My very own neighborhood Taco Bell this place has really improved its service levels multiple notches.

Stopped by this evening and the drive through window was staffed by a pleasant young man whose level of customer service was totally textbook style.

Ryan Winager, you probably don't realize it. Your pleasant demeanor made our day as you offered us water while we waited for our order. The service with a genuine smile on your face totally exceeded our expectations. Thank you!“

“They are a small location, but service is very good, and the food and treats are tasty.
The biggest knock is getting to the restaurant due to turning restrictions at their corner location. You make a bit of a detour to get to them.“

“John C. and his staff were great. From greeting us as we walked in the door, taking our order, bringing it to our table, returning to be sure we were satisfied and thanking us for our business as we left. This was a wonderful experience. We will be back soon.“

“I just wanted to share how beautifully written this was on the custom cake I ordered online for my boyfriend’s birthday. I added the black candles and black cake topper to complete the esthetic look I was going for. Thank you Woodbury Dairy Queen team for going above and beyond on my cake! 🤍“

“You guys Rock... in every way!!! 💖 👍“

“Have never eaten here before. The food was very good. The french fries were delicious we could not even finish all of them because you get so many. We'll definitely go back there. There is boxes of peanuts when you first get there you can fill up your little tray and eat peanuts while you're waiting for your food to be cooked. Also had a chocolate more there it was delicious.“

“Really good experience at the Culver’s in Woodbury Minnesota. Doing curbside and a shake tipped over in my car and the guy who brought it out was nice enough to go get towels and a new shake. Definitely did not have to do that. It was completely my fault, but he went above and beyond For customer that is a rare thing to find“

“Loaded Italian sandwich is so good! The Orange Cream Shake...delicious!!! Really can’t go wrong at Arby’s!“

“I was driving back home from work and decided to get some diary queen. Shout out to Tyler the person that took my order! Super enthusiastic and friendly! Order came out super quick and I haven’t had any reason to complain at all! And this includes all the workers there. They know how to do their stuff and they do it really well! Appreciate you guys! I’ll be coming more often!“

“8-13-25 @9pm
They got my order wrong. I asked to upgrade to mac&cheese from french fries for the #1 meal. I got to the window, recieved the food, went through the bag and realized they gave me fries and no mac.
I kindly told the girl at the window ( Who never repeated my order back to me, just asked for my name) and she proceeded to roll her eyes at me. She ( being annoyed) asked for my food back ( which CFA is never supposed to do) She called some younger guy in the blue striped polo over, he said to take the fries out of my bag and throw them away. ( I guess they thought I was trying to pull one over on them? not sure. Usually they just keep them in the bag)
Instead of grabbing a napkin or a glove, she sticks her hand in my bag of food and pulls out the fries, and sticks the bag of food back out of the window to give to me. I'm sorry, im really not picky usually, but money is disgusting. On top of that, you're touching the window and everything else.
There was 3 cars behind me in line.....
This is the only store I CONSISTANTLY have to ask for my sauces because they never get it right.
I was a store manager for 2 1/2 years at a CFA in Maryland. I get it, I know how it can be. But I also know that- that job... is not THAT hard.
And to get annoyed at me because your order taker didnt input the meal correctly? I'm sorry, but thats completely innapropriate and I had to write a review on here.

Mangement needs to really improve the night shift workers there because I'm starting to get really tired of constantly feeling like I'm being a problem whenever I remind them they forgot something that I asked for.

I do not mean to go on a rant but CFA is better than this. WAY better. And I will try to make sure that the management at that CFA see's me. I am more than willing to speak to management there.“

“Food was Hot and tasty Service very pleasant staff Only thing we did not Know or Hear Coffee was self serve and Cup was set by the coffee pot not given to us Do My Husband finished his meal and I asked where is your coffee they never put it on the tray....... NEXT time we will know“

“I didn't go inside. I went to the White Bear Ave store. I had 2 of the best cheeseburgers ever from WC. Fresh, steamed bun, right off the grill. Just great. I hate when a whitey has a dry bun. Also the guy at the window was great. Note the time and give the guy a pat on the back.“

“This place is incredible. I haven't been here in a bit, the new renovation is fantastic. Stopped by today during the height of the lunch rush. Drive thru was about 10 cars deep so decided to go inside to order. About 7 customers in front of me. The GM was taking orders at the register and she got through everyone very quickly.

Excellent and speedy service. The best compliment that I can give is it reminded me of a Chick Fil A. Very prompt and fast, very clean. Usually these Arby's locations are old and run down and very dirty. Workers couldn't care less. This location was the exact opposite. This location is spotless, and even better to see the GM running the counter with a smile and friendly attitude.

Food was great too. Come to this location, you won't regret it.“

“Good service and food. We were there right before closing. Great job“

“The young folk they have working here are so delightful! They are some of the kindest industry workers around. Oh and the food everything on the menu good! I'm always battling between the Flavor of the Day or my usual 2 Scoops Chocolate Ice Cream with Reeses + Real Peanut Butter!!

I just went back and Hayley went above and Beyond at the Drive Thru. She felt bad the Flavor of Day sold out, so she made my chocolate scoop with Love and sp did the cook on my Fresh Grilled Chicken Smadwhich! They did not care I was in drive through at 10:51... 5 MINS BEFORE 11:00 PM when drive thru closes!!“

“I wish every single taco bell would turn into a taco Johns. The food is always SO yummy here. I love the bean burritos and fried chicken/fish tacos. Best churro I've ever had was here. OMG it's just all so good, I don't even care if I have to wait because it's FRESH.“

“This was my servings time eating the Maplewood location and the first time didn't go so well but this time it was GREAT!!! The young lady at the dive thru window was very very kind polite and understanding and the food was nice and hot and fresh. This location has redeemed they self
Definitely will go back.
Thank you for a wonderful experience and slamming food!!!“

“I recently visited the Taco Bell drive-through and had an outstanding experience thanks to the amazing customer service provided by a young man named Hector. From the moment I approached the speaker, they greeted me with a warm and friendly attitude that made me feel valued as a customer.

Throughout my order, Hector was patient, helpful, and ensured that everything was accurate. They even made helpful suggestions that enhanced my meal! When I arrived at the window, my food was ready and perfectly prepared, and they took the time to double-check my order before handing it over.

It's rare to encounter such genuine enthusiasm and attention to detail in fast food, and I truly appreciate the effort they put into making my visit enjoyable. Thank you, Hector, for your excellent service! You’ve made me a loyal Taco Bell customer.“

“I can confidently say I’ve never had “good” McDonald’s, but this location nailed it. Not only did they read/review our order with us twice, but the food came out hot and actually tasted good. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been stuck in stale-fry purgatory. These fries were what dreams are made of. Extra kudos to the young girl working the window, she was so nice and did her due diligence making sure our order was correct. And don’t get me started on the godly nectar that is their fountain Diet Coke. 10/10 experience.“

“One of the better taco John's around. They're pretty well managed and somewhat respectful. Little bit lazy... I submitted my mobile order to the kitchen 5 minutes before arriving and when I arrived they had no other customers and didn't start my order until I walked in and asked for it.“

“It was so great to walk in there to get two drinks it's all I want it fast service clean restaurant love it“

“I’m enthusiastic to report that this Culvers was amazing! The food was absolutely divine! There were a decent amount of food options available! The staff was amicable and so delightful! The wait time was not terribly long. (Although past times I’ve been here, the wait has been long. The drive through typically takes a while😅) There was plenty of seating options available and the place was kept fairly clean! My dining experience at Culver’s was top notch! I will definitely be coming back to this Culver’s on a regular basis!I totally recommend coming here! There was also a lot of parking!“

“My review is two fold. First. The last time I came they made the best Somalian food I have ever eaten in my entire life! It is very authentic and robust with flavor. The staff and customers have been very friendly. Second, I came today for lunch and was turned away because they closed the restaurant to provide free meals to school children during Covid. I walked away with two free lunches for my kids pictured below. This is a new restaurant and I am happy to support them with my raving review because places like this are worth keeping around.“

“Holy YUM! Best food I had all night at the fair grounds! (:“

“We had a great time and great food on sat aug 31 2024 in the early evening --- about six p.m. Staff was great and friendly. Restaurant was clean and quiet and food was very good. Keep it up and give those guys working that shift a good comment.“

“great food and veggie burger and etc“

“Best Dairy Queen in Saint Paul and surrounding cities. The banana splits are cheap and pretty big for what you pay. Workers are friendly, and this is owned by a nice couple. Only 4 stars because area is not great. They close early now at 8pm. Go when it's light out. Also, they accept tips. I tipped two bucks because these young workers deserve it. Grew up in the area and love that they're still open.“

“For an order ahead on the app meal, later on a TH night(after 8:45p), I didn't expect the drive thru wait time to be so long. There were 5 cars ahead as I pulled in and spent a good 15 min isn the line to get my order. Not sure what was up? This isn't my usual McD restaurant to visit.“

“Sent my husband to get some greens for me, they didn't have any so I got the cabbage, the next day they didn't either and the sweetheart who runs the place felt bad, I would call but she's so busy, but it's ok that she was out, the cabbage was fire, and I'll come back repeatedly. The corn bread was also really good. Gotta support mom and pops businesses, especially when the food is so good“

“Excellent customer service, me & my husband will be back! Great sandwhich & soups!!“

“We have been going here since it opened and is always pretty good they do tend to mess up the ingredients on the subs alot I did complain once and received free subs from the manager I think but can't redeem on account no one at the store knows about it so we just pay for our food I see they are opening one in stillwater may give that one a try.“

“11/17/24 2pm. Good meal and clean. Restroom clean. Problem was the pop dispenser. It is touch screen, but doesn't want to recognize your selections. Everyone had the same problem so if it reacted, I drank what I was able to even if not what I wanted.

Parking: 30+ spots.“

“Great Service great food great people to be around“

“Was there 8-17-2025 at 6:38pm we went through the drive thru. On our way to see NIN.
Whole experience was fantastic.
Kevin was amazing and kindly explained peach lemonade season was over, and made us laugh. Food was great and we just really want people to know that not all Hardee’s are equal. Oakdale Hardees is by far superior. Both employees and food.

Ps: I wouldn’t be mad if peach lemonade season was year round. Just an idea. 😉“

“Tried this place for the first time. Best sub I’ve had in a long time. Beats the competition hands down on taste and service.“

“The two young men who were working there a few weeks back were fantastic. They were absolutely awesome! Super polite, funny, and energetic about their job. I felt bad that I didn't have a 5 spot to tip them. It was so refreshing to see, especially in a world where customer service seems non-existent. You guys are awesome man.“

“I’d not recommend eating in the children’s space without self sanitizing the table first. Came in at six o’clock on a Saturday and two tables were filthy and an employee brought us our meal and walked right past the mess. 😳🙄(the one is only cleared because my husband is a good soul and picked it up)“

“Decent food, prompt service. Consistently sad Pepperoncini's, and paying for extra gets you one sad shriveled pepperoncini to accompany the other. I've never seen such sad pepperoncinis, it prompted a review. Received on multiple occasions not just one visit :)“

“Thank you for fantastic service on a large last minute order...and correcting it when I messed up! I appreciate you! Definitely will order again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!“

“I like that’s it has a play area. We usually try to around 1pm-2pm when there are other kids. There’s one person who is always starting outside the window once he’s done cleaning. He does a very good job at cleaning! Coffee is a hit or miss. I don’t mind any kind of coffee, I just need it hot. Many times I have had to ask for a new hot coffee and they’re very kind to give me a hot one.“

“Love taco bell! Would give a 5 star, but for some reason this location forgets drinks/freezes more often than not. If you are in store it's not so big a deal, you can walk up and mention it. But if you order to go/through the app, you are gambling and can't do anything about it. Staff are very friendly though, so that helps make up for the drink situation.“

“Went through the drive through. A little strange, staff said the total was $18 something, when we got to the window, the guy said $21, so not sure if he read the screen before taxes. And we had to confirm the order, so it was a confusing experience.

Also when trying to pay, wanted to split between cash and card, the guy just put everything on the card, not sure if he didn't know how to split or what happened. Must have been new, if not he was at least apologetic and had good customer service.“

“The individual working here are hard working and take on so much since they are under staffed. I went in today inside to order and one gentleman was running both the counter and drive through. Another was filling orders while I believe two people worked making our food with care. *** THEY WORKED HARD. THEY HUSTLED AND DELIVERED. *** Yes sometimes we all make mistakes Let's be patient and if you don't have time to wait don't go through ANY drive-through and turn your stress onto another individual without understanding there situation. If you only have 10 mins to spare that's on you. I applaud 👏 ✌️ 🙌 these individuals working full speed to satisfy to the best they can.“
