50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Charlotte

“As someone born and raised in Buffalo, I don’t say this lightly…these are some of the best wings I’ve ever had. I’m in Charlotte for work and stumbled upon Buffalo Eatz, and wow. The Buffalo wings were perfectly crispy with that classic, legit sauce flavor that so many places miss. The barbecue wings were just as good…smoky, saucy, and not overly sweet. And the waffle fries with cheese? Absolute comfort food perfection: crispy, seasoned right, and cheese on the side. This place understands wings. If you’re craving real Buffalo flavor in Charlotte, this is it!! 🔥🍗“

“This is a great store.
It's one of the few fast food restaurants that's run by competent management. Seriously, every other fast food restaurant in this area (Huntersville, NC) has terrible service after 6:00 PM. Out of chocolate Frosties, cookies and Sprite at Wendy's, for example.
Highly recommend this Culver's for fast service and tasty food!!!“

“Best Subs in Town!! I love the Italian on wheat“

“Tried the food from halal cart truck and honestly it felt like pure comfort after a long day fresh, flavorful, and the chicken over rice was packed with taste.
The portions were generous, the sauces were amazing, and the friendly staff and warm vibe made the whole experience even better.“

“Omg. I am putting JJ's on the curb!! First time UBER priority $80 order from Albemarle Rd Charlotte!! Subs were awesome!!! Fresh tasting with good tomatoes (not the case with JJ. Theirs are hard and not ripe!) The roast beef was moist and meaty tasting (not the case at JJ. Theirs is slightly dry!) And the tuna!!!!! Yummy fresh. I will order again for sure.“

“The young man who took our order was very nice!! Prices are a little high but nothing crazy. The quality is great!! The food was ready quickly and was very hot and fresh.

WARNING: go down a level (or two) in spiciness! I got the mild and it was almost too much. I like spicy! My hubby who likes very spice got the medium and it was almost too much for him.

The wimpy wasn’t hot but had a distinct flavor my 6 year old didn’t care for. I’d recommend unflavored for kids!

They had really good homemade ranch too. Ranch only $0.75!“

“What stood out to me about Prina at Jersey Mike’s wasn’t just that she did her job well, it was how she carried herself. Calm, focused, steady even when it got busy. She moved between making subs, handling online orders, restocking, and keeping the counter clean without missing a beat. When she made my sub, she paid attention to every detail and even checked that everything looked right before wrapping it. The station was clean, the food was fresh, and the service felt genuine. You can tell she takes pride in her work, and people like Prina are the reason customers come back, not just for the food, but for the experience.“

“I ordered through door dash the gizzards were plentiful and very tasty. I like a bit of chew. They arrived crispy, hot and flavorful! The calamari was a bit soggy. The sauce cups were delivered as promised.
The order came with eating utensils, a big plus!
I could respond on atmosphere as this was delivery. .“

“Amazing food & customer service“

“5 🌟 la Comida! Al 💯 el servicio!“

“Yes we definitely recommend Lee's Hoagie House in Charlotte. Always consistent with their food. We drive from Chester County for their Philly Steak and the Fries are always hot and crispy. The customer service from the ladies are always 5 Stars all the way. It is great to see a Restaurant that always deserves 5 Stars every time we go. Thanks for providing a great service 🙂“

“We had dinner tonight here. It was Fantastic. Highly recommend.“

“It's Cook Out. Only thing I could comment on is how it's not as affordable as it used to be. I could go to pretty much any other restaurant and spend what I spend here but get better quality of Food. Best thing about Cook Out to me is that the Shakes have so many options. It used to feel like getting two sides was a deal but lately it feels like you get less of the sides than what you did get in the past. More money less food is the route for all the restaurants so no particular knock on Cook Out Truly. Best place for a late night meal tho with them being open til 3 or 4am so if you get hungry late this is the spot to go to.“

“I always have a great experience at Jersey Mike’s, my sandwiches are always fresh and make the way I order it. Also the customer service is outstanding. The staff is friendly and welcoming, They are patient, professional, and made sure my order was correct. Love it there especially this location it’s faster here. <3“

“Awesome! My first afghani style Indian food experience! Was amazing and we will definitely be coming back. Great prices as well!“

“I came down from Cali to charlotte to visit friends and they suggested to me that I try this place and so I did. I got me the biscuits breakfast sandwich and fries and it was good. Sierra was also gave great customer service. She is a great person !“

“you can create your own meal. And the staff was very nice and helpful.“

“It was amazing like Jersey Mikes always is!! So glad this location opened up close to where I live! Will be back for sure! I was patiently waiting for this one to open and I'm so glad that it is now!“

“It was the best Italian sub I have had in a very long time.“

“We LOVE Jersey Mike's food and their crew! The food is always superior and the crew is so friendly and they take such good care of us. We are there every week and they cater to a garlic allergy Mark's mother has. They make everyone feel like family. I highly recommend that you stop by and pay them a visit, Tell them Kathy & Mark sent you! You will not be disappointed. Donny the manager and his crew run a tight ship and they will take great care of you! Keep up the great work everyone. We appreciate your hard work! God bless & keep you & yours... Kathy & Mark“

“The fries are AWESOME. A little pricey though.“

“They are the best place to get your Bubble Tea fix. I have tried many other places in the area and this is the best. I drive out of my way just to drink their boba. They are locally owned and super friendly. Best in every way. I won't go anywhere else.“

“I received the most awesome customer service from Arboretum, Five Guys. The staff made me feel special today, and I appreciated it very much.“

“Friendly fast service and the owner doesn’t forget your name“

“Flip-a-Lo has Charlotte’s BEST chicken strips and wings! Fresh, never frozen, chicken is seasoned to perfection, using top quality ingredients. This hidden gem is tucked away on Pineville Matthews road and is the perfect spot for everyone. Indoor/Outdoor seating available. Love supporting this small business and hope they expand to southend/uptown in the near future!“

“Huge thank you to the team at Chick-fil-A for the excellent service with our catering order for a party! The ordering process was simple and straightforward, the food was hot and delicious, and everything was packaged so well.

A special thank you to the manager, Brian, for providing outstanding customer service. He was friendly, professional, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish.

Great food and great service — we truly appreciated the experience!“

“My son and I traveled from Kings Mountain just for MOD pizza. The regional director, Leon was there and heard us talk about how far we came just for them and he gave us a free pizza along with our purchase. LaTifah (not sure of spelling) was exceptional, knowledgeable, friendly, and delivered fabulous customer service skills.“

“Love Jersey Mikes. This was clean, staff was quick, food was fresh. would go back when I'm in the area.“

“Lov this place. Highly recommended.“

“chorizo and pollo quesadillas always taste good n fresh“

“If you've never been; my advice is to make it a double...the patties are super thin...But, delicious 😋“

“Odoba has in the past been hit or miss with me. Still., I visited the Lancaster Hwy location today and of all things Noah and the team helped me make my order "better." Doesn't happen often but it happened today. Good job and thank you! :) Oh, BTW something I was once told at a mexican reiterant, hahaha, "Chips" they make you happy. Brovo - team Qdoba on Lancaster Hwy!“

“By far the best chick fil a location I’ve been to. Everyone was super nice and made sure we were all set. I’d like to especially give a shout out to a very sweet lady named Debbie. She was very kind and was the kindest server I’ve ever had. Y’all need to give her a raise! 11/10 employee and 10/10 restaurant :)“

“I recently stopped by Berries and Bite and I'm so glad I did! If you're looking for something healthy that still feels like a treat, this is your place.
The Acai Bowls are my new obsession—they are seriously so fresh and packed with flavor. And don't even get me started on their amazing smoothies; they're the perfect refreshing pick-me-up. But for a savory surprise, you absolutely have to try the curry paneer pizza—it's unbelievably good and totally worth getting!
This spot is definitely a must-visit for delicious, feel-good food.“

“By far, one of the cleanest Subways in Charlotte and one of friendliest, most accommodating sandwich artists!! I wrote this review years ago and it still stands! Subway on Kings drive has to be the best Subway in Charlotte! Consistently, fresh, clean and friendly! The only Subway I patronize in Charlotte!“

“Had a really great experience here. The atmosphere was amazing—super welcoming and comfortable, which made everything even better. The service stood out the most though. Chanel was incredible—very friendly, helpful, and made sure everything was taken care of. Definitely appreciate the energy and professionalism. I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“🤤🤤 Some of the best food and wonderful staff!!“

“Super friendly staff. Stopped in 3X during a business meeting nearby. Brenda was delightful & on duty all three times & absolutely 5-star helpful & friendly.“

“My first visit to the location and my second visit to the brand. Please note that the team creates the absolute best experience including very very tasty bowls... that require no sauce. Yummy yummy 😋😋 Returning next week for the veggie Bowl 😋😋 Thanks Qdoba“

“Craving a chocolate shake and the staff were so helpful. As a disabled person with vision loss they help me order a complete meal. Explain to me everything that I could have and then made sure that they brought it right to me. The staff here were second to none. I give them all the credit and patience in the world based on how rude people were when we were in there“

“They were busy which was I understand understandable because of the special I placed my order at 6:15. It was ready at 8:45 but it did not bother me because of the price and how busy they were when I walked in. Everyone was really nice and I enjoyed the pizza.“

“We love Chick-fil-A and so thankful for this location supporting Operation Christmas Child. Thank you to the Manager Kim and the entire staff for a great experience today. Special thanks to the young ladies in the drive thru line for spreading the word of the OCC Shoeboxes.“

“I have celiac disease I feel safe eating here very good burgers and fries ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Dave at the register was very helpful and nice!“

“I love the food and they have great customer service 🥰“

“Thank you for a really good meal that was delicious and healthy conscious. The Gyro was also filling. Thanks again.“

“food was great ..will be back 😉❤👍👀“

“Lately Jersey Mike's has been letting us down on serving size and staffing, but never this location. All three members of the crew were friendly and quick-working, especially with the little crowd.

Shout out to the lovely young lady that asked every single guest how they are, while staying on task. It was clear by the guests' reactions, how rare this is nowadays.

Additional shout out to the young man that made our subs and has been there for years! He laughed along with us through our nonsense and had a great attitude.

And finally the young lady stocking the chips that let us pick ours before hauling the shelves off to restock.

A little effort goes a long way and these three deserve to hear a little kudos!“

“The pizza is very good. The tall thin built guy working was extremely nice and you could tell he really cared. Said “best pizza you’ll find” He was very much appreciated.
The heavier set guy assembling the pizza, not so much. Clearly didn’t want to be working. Kept saying “and” after each of the 4 toppings. Not a smile, not a how are you, not a thank you….just abrupt and probably shouldn’t be in a customer service spot.“
