21 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Columbia

“We have always loved Chick-fil-A. My daughter is working there now and management, and everyone are wonderful. Sadly, I’ve heard a few stories of incredibly rude and disrespectful customers, which happens everywhere, and it’s so discouraging to hear the rudeness and disrespect from horrible customers. So I wanted to say thank you and I think you all are wonderful managers, owners, and always been delicious, clean, safe with food, etc. 🐔❤️“

“Excellent service! The manager here caught us being overcharged accidentally by a new employee. We also noticed a very kind young man politely collecting trash and unused trays. The food was terrific. Good burgers and the fries were done perfectly. We usually like Freddy's, but this one is better than most!! Very clean!!“

“I enjoyed this place, a small drive up sit in your vehicle and get some good food and great rootbeer float. If looking for something new or new to the area, I recommend stopping in. I ordered the chili dog and chili cheese fries with a root beer float. They have a jib hamburger that's like a sloppy Joe, pretty good, and several other options worth giving it a try. Just a heads up, make sure to take cash, but the sign said local checks are OK. The building is on the back side of the street, so you might miss it if you are going down the main street. Just informational. Service was great, and the chili and rootbeer is homemade, I believe the lady informed me.“

“A Great Burger and Fries“

“Nice place to eat !! You get served fast !!“

“A more delicious version of freddy’s.“

“Why did you guys switch to coke products? Very disappointed.“

“Love this place. Talk about comfort food and eating! I dont think I've ever gave a straight 5 stars across the board before. This place is worth you time and money. For a cheese burger combo ( which the burger is huge and tons of fries) is around $13. My favorite is definitely the chocolate shakes with the cool whip on top! Enjoy!!“

“I’ve been a frequent regular here and I absolutely love it! It’s criminally underrated. The interior design and colors are great, and the staff on top of that are just amazing! Can’t forget the amazing chicken that keeps me coming back!“

“Love Jersey Mike Subs! I have celiac (a severe gluten allergy). We stopped in this location on the way to and from visiting family. Each time the staff was amazing and accommodated my gluten allergy like professional with no questions! Having celiac disease it is very hard for me to eat out, Jersey Mikes continues to be a very safe place for me to eat!! Thank you for taking gluten allergies seriously and being understanding!!!“

“Super friendly, great food, would recommend to everyone!“

“Are fresh to order and fries are to die for! So good!“

“This would have been a 5 star but the fry’s I got were SOOOO SALTY. So salty that I couldn’t eat them. It was like taking salt right out of the shaker and putting it right into your mouth. I think it was maybe because I got the last of the fry’s in the warmer because almost all of them were small pieces and just a few long fry’s. Other than that the sandwich was great.“

“Thank you for the Amazing customer Service. The evening crew& manager went above & beyond. my kids & I were treated with the true definition of Respect & Proper Customer Service! Sun evening right before closing time we stopped by to get ice cream for my kids birthday & were greeted with such great mannerism.
I wish I knew the name of the guy manager & 2 young ladies working so that they could get the recognition that they deserve.
The store owners need to know that they have THE BEST NIGHT CREW THAT I'VE ENCOUNTERED IN THE PAST 4YRS. I'VE BEEN in the Customer Service work field for almost 20yrs & I finally found a team that worked together, maintained professional mannerisms &made us feel welcomed!
To the young adults that worked on 3-2-25 Sunday after 9pm, I want to thank you. The store was clean & even with a line of cars in the drive through, you all still treated us with compassion.
Be proud of yourselves... Y'all deserve a raise. I truly appreciate the kindness we were treated with even when you were really busy and ready to go home!“

“at approximately 5:40 p.m. today I was met with a level of professionalism and courtesy that I did not expect from Sonic Drive-In. a young man with a nose ring to have been the politest and most professional employee I have ever dealt with at a chain restaurant. they made the experience absolutely pleasant and I will for sure be back. having worked just short of corporate management in a large box store, this is the type of thing that shows me someone belongs in management. the food was hot and served quickly and to the letter of instructions. well done.“

“I had the pleasure of being greeted by a young man named Zylon when i went to this location. Zylon had excellent customer service and even provided me with recommendations when I wasn't sure in what to order. He was also accommodating to my special requests and efficient in servicing other customers that came after me. Many kudos to Zylon and I hope that his managers realize they have a very personable, hard worker on their team.“

“I didn't catch his name because I just got off work and I'm sick and I'm hard of hearing in my right ear but the tall black guy that took my order very professional very patient also very good in the kitchen their whole crew is killing it the restaurant is clean my whole order came out hot and fresh. Good service time even though they were busy. Best Steak and Shake I think I have eaten at.“

“Whatever they are paying Larry ,?it’s not enough! He did everything by hisself out front! Including bussing, taking orders, carry out and dine in, taking food to the tables, and drive thru! The man was a machine! Hats off to Larry!“

“Fast service and friendly people!! Best ever!! Spot on!!! My family and I were very satisfied.“

“This is one of the nicer McDonald's locations in Columbia. My only complaint is that the drive through, parking and exiting situation here is a little tight, especially when it's busy. Being near the mall and another shopping center it can get congested. I usually park further away, walk over, and leave the area from a different lot exit.“

“Great sub sandwich’s !!! Reasonable prices !!! Cheaper than Subway and Jimmy-Johns !“
