35 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Asheville

“Really fast. Service was okay only because it was my first time ever eating at a Cook Out. I wasn't sure how or what to order. Felt employee could have been a bit more helpful. Food tasted good and did I say it was fast? I'll definitely go back and try some other things, but double-burger was great.“

“Great fresh food! Loved the Belgian fries as well!“

“Mi familia y yo fuimos hoy por primera vez y tuvimos una excelente experiencia.Probamos la orden de quesa birria con arroz y frijoles charros,un burrito,el cheesecake de dulce de leche y unas ricas horchatas.Todo muy delicioso.Nos encanto el servicio al cliente y la amabilidad.Un ambiente muy cálido y familiar“

“5 topping sausage ordered, I've seen 1 topping with more sausage. RIPOFF!!!“

“This is the most authentic Mexican restaurant that i’ve been to. If you’re the average American looking to get Mexican food with “chips and dip” prior to ordering, look elsewhere. No chips or salsa was provided. They do not have sweet tea, it is only bottled or can drinks. The tacos were good. The atmosphere was mediocre. I would consider this to be a manly place rather than a family restaurant. While I wasn’t displeased with the food, I most likely will not return, at least not with my family.

Parking: Very small parking lot that is hard to access during high volume traffic.“

“After a long night in the ER Thurs night into late Friday morning, I was a bit to tired to cook dinner, so my wife and I decided to just "grab a bite", my daughter requested Chick-fil-a so I drove to Tunnel Rd. As I pulled into line, I noticed the car in front of me had paid cash, and the young man seemed to have his hands full trying to organize everything. Having been in the food service industry years back I know it can sometimes feel a little intimidating when you have a hand full of cash and someone approaches you, so I hung back until he looked organized. When I did pull up Oscar briefly acknowledged what I had done, and the asked for my name to start my order. I was happy to see he realized why I did it, and figured that was the end of the matter. Just as I had finished with my order, and was ready to pull up, another gentleman (sorry did not get his name) approached me and also acknowledged what I had done, and thanked me for being courteous, I smiled just before he handed me a small card good for a free dessert saying something to the effect of "We like to acknowledge and reward when people act kindly". After a very, very long day, this was the ray of humanity I needed to get me through the rest of it. I hope both those gentlemen get a pat on the back.“

“Delivery was fast and the food was good. But the person who took our order was obviously not interested in doing his job well. Got our order wrong, and fries and chocolate milk were left out of the kids meals. It's never happened before, so I didn't check. But I will be checking from now on.“

“Love everything about the place except the receipts. The store address is listed on Hendersonville Highway in ASHVILLE, NC. Instead of crying "where's the beef?" I come away shouting, "where's the E?" 😉“

“Absolutely incredible Jamaican food! We ordered here unexpectedly and now it’s our new favorite spot. Out of this world flavor, very generous portions, extremely kind staff, everything is overwhelmingly delicious! Best Jamaican food in Asheville and probably the state! Don’t think twice about hitting up the mall for this goodness.“

“Awesome food , nice folks“

“Solid place, had the cookout burger, fries, and onion rings. Line was long but the service was super quick and efficient getting everyone throufh the line. better than regular fast food place. my meal with a large drink and two sides was only $9.61 which is incredible given the time were in.

thanks cookout whenever i visit Asheville ill make sure to stop by if needed!

“Great staff, great food! play area is typically clean“

“Appreciate the vegetarian delights without the mayo since I do not know its gredients

Vegetarian options: Mayo could contain eggs from tortured chickens

Dietary restrictions: Zero tortured animal products.

Kid-friendliness: Not enough children. Many crowns not being worn.“

“It's a Chick-fil-A. Always clean. Food is always great. And served quickly. Everybody that works there is professional. This is my favorite Chick-fil-A in Asheville.

Kid-friendliness: They have a small playground inside“

“The manger. Antonio I believe. Sonic is lucky to have such a employee. I drive past a sonics an come from across town because I know the food and service will be perfect every time. I believe her name is Macie. Also A++ employee. So Sonic. If you want those profitable stores back. Find more Antonio's and Macie's.“

“I'll start by saying I go to McDonald's a couple times per year...and I usually regret it. Not the case here. The store is clean. The service is prompt and the food is hot. Not the usual McDonald's experience. I've been to this location 3 times in 3 years and it's been on point all 3 times. Will I eat there more frequently? No. But the next time I get the Mac attack I know the best option is on Hendersonville Road.“

“Great hot food. Clean, friendly staff. Inside and outside area very neat and clean! Fish cooked very well not burnt or raw. Fries not soggy. Cole slaw very tasty. Corn really good.Hush puppy s cooked very good and very good tasting.. I would Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a good place for a reasonable price not expensive plenty of food even for a hardy appetite on a 2pc. meal. Very filling and satisfying. You want be disappointed.“

“My go-to McDonalds. This is one of the few McDonald's whose shakes have the right amount of syrup added (last time I checked). I drink a lot of milkshakes, and most McDonald's seem to get the ratio wrong (West Asheville and Weaverville, I'm looking at you). The woman who drives the purple car is also hilarious and pleasant to talk to. Food is usually pretty fresh. I've never experienced their ice cream machine down.“

“Best pizza in town, love being able to say exactly what should be on the pizza and where in the cafeteria-style ordering set-up, their assembly-line production works great. The dining area is a little echo-y and noisy, and I'm not always a fan of the music, which is too loud to have a conversation with more than the person sitting right next to you, but if it's nice, the outdoor patio is welcoming. I wish they'd bring back the garlic dough-knots!

Kid-friendliness: Kids love pizza. This is a no-brainer. Blaze is good about doing one half of a build-your-own for an adult, the other half for a kid.“

“The classic chicken sandwich is super delicious. Great light crispy breading, the pickles add a nice salty touch and the bun is a little sweet. And, Cheerwine bourbon slush! Need I say more?“

“rush me to order when trying to place one I wanted a #1 and another meal with the order .wouldn't not let me finish instead she proceeded with cutting me off and said ok a #1 with a milk I'm lactose so why would I ask for milk she acting like she was ordering for herself i know you have to make drive thru times. Just work on having a little more patience with customers you only have selected things to drink anyway so give people time to choose . Im not going to give you a bad star .Have a wonderful bless day you rule ?“

“The wife and I haven't had any Arby's in a long time we were out of town on a day trip we got hungry I saw a sign for Arby's and she said yes too she had the Ruben and I had the beef and cheddar 2 of them and curly fries we got it to go figured we would eat going down the highway but soon pulled over and sat in the shade . I could have talked a nap afterwards . Thanks Arby's in North Asheville right off 40“

“We had a couple of build your own pizzas which turned out great. Thin crispy crust and lots of great toppings to choose from. Service was quick and friendly“

“If I could give bojangles a 10 star's I wood because it is the best place to go to for breakfast and lunch ?“

“Good food and good service, had a good experience.“

“I visited this location a while ago and just got to writing a review. I was only reminded because I had a few questions before I put in an order today. I called the store and instantly got a manager who was very kind and informative. He was able to answer all my questions with no problems even with my two children screaming in the background about unrelated topics, they didn't want taco bell tonight but it doesn't matter because it's mommas choice tonight. Kids can get their McDonalds and Burger King when they have their own money for it. But going back on topic. All of my questions were perfectly answered and luckily everything I wanted tonight was ready and available, including my favorite burrito and drink! It's nice to feel like you can really have a conversation with someone as if you know them. I love this Taco Bell and can't wait to go back and see the enthusiastic smiling faces of the employees!

Kid-friendliness: Managers know how to work with screaming children whom you regret having at times“

“This is a great Mod. Ordering on the app for pickup is super easy especially if I want it for lunch. I get pizza or salad depending how healthy I feel that day. Always get whatever toppings I feel like, most times it’s a weird combo so they probably think I’m crazy. But they always make it good anyway. Extremely underrated vegan pizza IMO

Edit 2025: still a great option, and even better they let you do well done or light bake“

“I've enjoyed Hunt Bros. for over 20 years. The slices are a great after work snack and on a "we just want the whole thing" night, one phone call is all. Our local Marathon ladies make them less than a mile from our house !“

“Thank you April for making my experience at Sonic such a delightful one, with your cheerful attitude and smile. I just got off of a 12 hour shift, and needed a pick-me-up. Your warm greeting made my day, and I appreciate you going above and beyond in providing excellent customer service.“

“I have been to many fast food restaurants since the pandemic first came about and have had issues in one form or another at each and every one of them. But let me tell you about this crew at Wendy’s on Smokey park…. From the moment you walk in the door until you walk out they are the most polite and cheerful group. They acknowledged us when we came in and the cashier was stocking the condiments and cleaning the drink counter. She said I will be right with you and quickly finished up what she had started and came to take our order. The employees in the back cooking and assembling went right to work getting our order together. I made a mistake on my order and she quickly allowed me to fix it and was gracious about it and not rude like other places have been. We sat down and ate and others came in and they were just as polite. It was like a breathe of fresh air in these trying times we are in. 1000000% would recommend you eating here and seeing what I got to witness today.“

“Only if they made food ready to go instead of waiting for the order I realize it's fresh when it's made to order but when you only have 30 minutes to eat and get back to work it's a pain
...the food is always good and the service is better than most fastfood places“

“Hadn't been to an Arby's in years. Went to try the Gyro sandwich and wow was it awesome. I am a Greek food fan. I didn't think it would be great, but I was pleased. The lamb meat is just like the traditional kind. Good lettuce, red onion, tzatziki sauce too. Will return.“

“12/6 8:20 pm. A wonderful woman finished greeting me and began preparing my 2 sandwiches. Her coworker came out of the back and met me with a kind fist bump. As a local in post hurricane Asheville, this was an incredibly grounding and heartwarming experience. I think both of these people deserve the best.“

“We have been frequenting this store several times a year. Our visit today was a new experience. We noted that the dining area was very clean and was actively being cleaned. The store was never dirty but today it was noticeably very clean. My first thought that it was new management and sure enough, upon asking I was told that there was a recent management change. The food, as always, was fresh and delicious.“

“Extremely clean. I mean, I as a restaurant employee many years, have worked places that aren't precisely thorough.
Big guy Rick was super chill and explained how they clean the soda And water dispensers every night.
Not every place does this.
Great vibes, tasty food will be back for more.
Kindness goes a long way so extra shout out to Rick and and the employees here“
