29 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Hickory

“By far the best Chick-fil-A location in our county! I come through at least 3 mornings per week on my way to work for breakfast, and every time they are so kind, respectful and have the best customer service! I've been a patron at this location for about 10 years or more and they truly have some of the best staff around! I particularly love my early morning staff, such as Ava, Caleb (×2), Jessica and so many more! They simply make my days brighter, and also serve delicious food! I will forever be partial to this location and staff! 😊❤️“

“My wife had many allergies and the great folks at this Five Guys made her a meal that fit her diet. We really appreciate the care they took to ensure we were fed. As residents of Asheville facing the worst storm the US had ever seen, it was invigorating to get a hot meal! Thank you for your care today, and thank you for your rescue efforts in WNC!“

“Loved this place a long time. Those apple and cherry pies are to die for before sugar-d got ahold of me but that cheddar and roast beef on a wrap is my now go to feast. Jessica and Robert got it going on“

“Thank God for Jack in the Box! Even through covid they kept up there extended hours. I’m a night owl and NOTHING is open late anymore! Somehow Jack in the Box has managed to sustain their late hours and keep decent employees. I don’t know how they do it when no one else has seem to be able to, but they seriously deserve some recognition for it 👏 And I appreciate their variety. Where else can you get tacos and choros, and a burger and shake, and boba freaking tea!!? Kudos! Love ya!“

“The staff is all so friendly and courteous and the food is consistently good!“

“Walked in with a rather large order. Was greeted with a smile. The cashier was very polite and helpful. There was a young gentleman cleaning the lobby. My food was prepared quickly and correctly. Everything was delicious. Great experience!!“

“Great spot! They do ice cream types of stuff. It's not a full Dairy Queen. No food really, unless you want to eat an ice cream cake. (And if you do, no judgement here) They do the Orange Julius menu as well. We frequent them throughout the summer. Year in and year out. If you want to be front and center, park up front. If you want to be out of the way and just eat ice cream, park in the back lot. We love them!

Parking: Plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: It's an ice cream spot. How is that not kid friendly?“

“Everything was great except for the stack of pancakes I ordered. We've ordered the 3 stack of pancakes at another Biscuitville a few times and they were perfect so that's what I had in mind when I ordered these but I was sadly mistaken. I paid over $5 for 3 small silver dollar sized pancakes that tasted like flour, the pancakes from the other Biscuitville were normal plate sized and delicious. The Sausage Gravy Biscuit and Loaded Country Fries we ordered were really good. The Loaded Fries had the expected toppings ( Buttermilk Ranch, Cheddar Cheese, Bacon Bits ) plus a topping I didn't expect - Sausage Gravy which made the already good flavor great. We will probably go back but unfortunately I will no longer be ordering the pancakes. I also want to mention that the cashier was very nice, she smiled the whole time and even joked around a little with us when we joked with her.“

“Food was good. Little greasy as expected. Only real complaint is how they do things for the drive thru. No one else at screens or window when we ordered/paid, but that’s because they put a sticker on your mirror and you have pull up past the window to park and wait on them to bring it out. Once you pay, there’s 3 lanes. 2 outer lanes to park and wait and a middle for leaving. We sat there for almost 30 mins waiting on 2 plain burger combos. Some people that were there before us, were still there after we left. They come out wandering around confused as they are trying to match the order to the number on your rear view mirror. It was an odd experience and not one I plan to repeat anytime soon. Really shouldn’t take that long for fast food.“

“Amazing service by Chris in the drive through at 4:10 AM. I wanted a hot breakfast after getting off of work so I went to McDonald’s, the first one claimed it wasn’t open yet so I went an extra 20 mins down the road to this one. Chris had a great attitude and very helpful an insuring the biscuits were nicely fresh and hot, definitely will go back to that one and hope Chris gets some sort of recognition for his work.“

“We love Hardee’s, but we were very disappointed on our last visit, we ordered 10 piece chicken tenders, we got home and we had very small pieces. We called the store and the employee stated that they decided to fry up some end pieces. Very disappointed, not enough to serve the 2 of us, thank you .“

“Ambiente acogedor, y servicio y comida de calidad. Si gustan de los mejores tacos de carne en todo Hickory este es el lugar. Los recomiendo 100%👌también música en vivo. Tienen de todo 🫶“

“Specials for one dollar between 2 and 5 p.m. sliders, fries, shakes and more. Two for $6.00 fish sandwiches. Brown sugar bacon is back“

“Ordered the spicy dill hook n ladder, got home and realized there was no meat or cheese. Went back and as politely as I could informed the crew of the mistake. They were more than happy to re make my sandwich and unexpectedly offered me a refund. 100% recommend them, truly awesome sammiches from great people!“

“I can't say enough good things about the To closing employees. I barely made it to the location five ten minutes before they closed. Despite being a last minute order, They were so friendly. Typically i receive attitude from employees that close to time to go home. I wish that I would have caught the young man's name as well as the young lady that we're working. They should receive some type of compensation for their Outstanding customer service.“

“pancakes and sausage and coffee very good no forks or knives waiting on truck“

“there burgers are awesome“

“Went there today around 3:00, I live in Lenoir and had DR appointment in Hickory and I didn't know Hickory had Checker's, brought back memories when I used to live the one in Lenoir and I missed it because they shut down. Anyway I was excited and had the Big burger and fries and it was delicious! The fries were hot and fresh! The employee was very nice. I will definitely be back! The price was fair and worth it for sure! Thank you!

Parking: The parking lot was clean! Love the outdoors picnic table

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy parking for handicap“

“Today, i witnessed an employee name “Ann” be so kind and gentle to the couple in line in front of me who have a special needs daughter. After serving them, she went over to their table and checked up on them and made sure they were okay. I am a care giver so this made my day. She showed that she is a caring person ! And very sweet to everyone . Having employees like this can make someone’s day. Her smile is contagious, please give her a bonus or Congratulate her. People are never rewarded for kind gestures.“

“We went there late evening and the employees were nice and efficient. The Big Kahuna chicken sub on wheat bread was excellent. My husband and I shared a Giant size and it was enough for the two of us. For all the mixed reviews this place gets, I was surprised because everything was very good.“

“The commitment to using fresh, quality ingredients is evident in each bite. The option to choose from a variety of bread, proteins, vegetables, and condiments ensures that there's something for everyone. The sandwich artists behind the counter are usually friendly and efficient, contributing to a positive and quick dining experience.“

“Thankful they were open after Hurricane Helene. Of course, with the nature of everything going on, there was quite a wait time, but the team served us with a smile and the food was great. Thank you all for your hard work, it was a blessing.“

“Since I couldnt go to STARBUCKS, I had to go to Mcie D’s. I will say they were much more better than the stupid starbucks across the street. Listen here, i was there at a reasonable hour of 10:30, but they didnt want to serve me. I saw someone in there, but no. All i wanted was the new spicy dragonfruit drink, but they had to ruin my dreams. Its rediculous. Luckily, i was able to get a wonderful 10/10 mango drink. Thank you Mcdonalds for making my life better.“

“Today was the second time I have order takeout and they have some of the kindest humans working at this location. The pizza was delish, my breadsticks were *chefs kiss* and I would recommend this Pizza Hut location! Thank you for the positive experience!“

“Charley’s is probably the highlight of Valley Hills Mall! The staff were courteous and fun to order with, the food was incredibly hot and fresh! My wife insisted on trying the wings and I’m so glad we did. I am not a wing guy but these are my new go too for delicious crispy and moist wings when the craving strikes! Ivonne knows how to sauce ‘em too!“

“Domino's Pizza is amazing. They offer a wide variety of pizzas with fresh toppings and delicious crust options. The ordering process is easy, and delivery is usually quick. And they have some good promotions and deals sometimes. But pricey sometimes but.. Overall, it's really good and a wonderful choice for pizza lovers.“
