8 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Thief River Falls

“A few years ago when I first moved to TRF, this Taco John’s was in rough shape- staff and food were severely lacking. I don’t know what happened, but I’d say the last 3 months since I’ve moved back to town, the food and staff is great; and probably beats every other fast food joint in town at this point, quality and staff combined. Arby’s used to be the best but now they’ve become the worst oddly enough. I love their breakfast burritos and their spicy chicken and potato griller, as well as the fried chicken tacos or burritos- yum! All the food always come out freshly made to order so it’s nice to know the food isn’t cold and hard anymore like it was years ago- you could tell the food had been sitting. Glad to see the big improvements at this place. Keep it up!“

“The place has turned around. Great service, amazing food and looks clean.

Kid-friendliness: Kids meals now include a toy, a sucker, and a free kid ice cream cone.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps to the establishment. They also have a good size lobby with tables that allow wheelchairs to be used at.“

“We were extremely impressed by the taste and quality of the food! I got a roast beef, my husband got 2 chicken sandwiches, and our daughter got a roast beef slider kids meal. Then, as an added thing, we decided to try the chicken bacon ranch, crinkle fries! Everything was extremely amazing! I really hope they keep those fries!!!! I mean those Chicken fries were out of this world! My husband doesn’t Typically swear but this time his words were THAT IS DAMN GOOD!! Even the diet dr. Pepper was crisper! I can’t say enough good things about this experience!!“

“I used the app to order, but it wouldn't let me input what curbside pickup sign I was at. I went inside and the employee behind the till was really helpful and did everything he could to help me get the app working. The manager was really helpful and did everything he could to fix the issue. 10/10 service. If the employee or manager read this, thank you guys so much!“

“I was a huge Dairy Queen lover in my youth, and have fallen back in love with Dairy Queen since moving here a couple years back. It’s, legitimately, one of my Favorite places to eat here in TRF, and I crave their yummy burgers, various ice cream treats, chicken strips, cheese curds, and onion rings ALL the time, hehe!!!

My only critiques for this location are as follows: I find that they’re a bit stingy with sauces (on many of the sandwiches and also on the sauced chicken strips); I wish when ordering online through their app and from DoorDash, that the option to add diced onions to chili dogs was available; and lastly, I also wish that requesting marinara sauce (which is available in-store) as the dipping sauce for cheese curds was an option when ordering online, as well, as my palette finds them to taste similarly enough to mozzarella sticks.“

“The staff there is very pleasant, friendly, hardworking, and professional. The restaurant is always really clean and tidy, and also always smells wonderful, creating a very inviting dine-in atmosphere. And the food is always scrumptious and hits the spot!

I’ve really been enjoying some of the new menu items that Subway has released over the past 1-2 years, too, and also the flatbread option that can be substituted for a sub roll (yummy Perfection!). And the Subway app also has some Really fantastic deals available, as well, that are great for saving money!“

“I always receive such pleasant and friendly customer service at this location, whether for an in-person carry out order, when calling in an order by phone, or when interacting with the delivery drivers. Also, anytime I place a carry-out order, the food’s always ready when I arrive, and everything Always tastes fantastic!!! No complaints :)“
