27 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Hickory

“I was having an argument with my brother about which burger was better, a whataburger or five guys burger? However I had never eaten a five guys burger. So I decided to give the five guys burger a try to settle the argument with my brother. I have to say, I see the difference in the taste quality when it comes to both places. Five guys burger has a taste quality that doesn’t get old. After a few times at whataburger which was great at first, however I began to get tired of it. Five guys wasn’t only refreshing but an amazing burger. Seriously the taste doesn’t get old. Only complaint I would have is, five guys needs ranch to serve to their customers. Other than that Kudos!“

“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! 😊❤️“

“The food here is amazing! The first time we went a few weeks ago we had the Friday night date special. Such a great deal for all the food! The tacos, corn, and ramen were popping with flavor! We loved it so much we went again tonight. I had the Cali chicken special with horchata and my husband got the tacos. Our waitress was great and kept our drinks filled and checked in often to make sure we were good. I have been telling everyone about this hidden gem. You will not regret trying it for yourself!“

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

“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“

“So just wanted to say thank you to all the ones who took the time to give me a review and just so everyone knows who the "Girl with the Bun" is I'm Crystal and I'm very blessed to have this job and work with all my amazing customers on a personal level. Thanks again for the 5⭐ reviews“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 .“

“there burgers are awesome“

“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.“

“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.“

“That the cashier and Sandwich makers went above and beyond and got me a manager to help with the app. Ended up being that I needed to connect to the store wifi. Then I was able to use the app to place my order and recieve a discount. This time of day I need to save all the money that I can. So the manager came out from around the corner greeted us with a beautiful true smile and has eager to help in any way possible. Very pleased with this.“

“I have been eating at this Pizza Hut since it first opened. First with my Grandmother before she passed, now on my own via online pickup. I miss how the wings were before they switched to Wingstreet, but the pizza is still good, maybe even slightly better. Though other businesses in the vaccinity (Beef O'Bradys and Family Video, to name a few) have closed down, this one is still here, and I hope it stays here for a little while longer.“

“I've Been Getting Subs,At Sub Station II,For Decades. If I'm "Across Town",I'll Stop In At The Location On Hwy 64-70. When I Desire A Sub Locally,I'll Go 2 The Location On Springs Road, It Used 2B Located,In The Shopping Area,Across From Wells Fargo. A #19 ATW! I'm Not "Sub Picky" THE SUBS R ALWAYS GOOD!!! 8-5-2023 (Sat.)“

“Me and my Fiancé ordered online today at about 5:30ish and took it home. Lemme tell you. They know how to make a sub. A lot of subways just slap everything together and don't put an effort but they did for sure. I put extra pickles and they delivered. The sub was amazing. The veggies were fresh everything tasted great. Best subway around hands down. We will definitely be returning!!!!“

“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.“

“I've really enjoyed it since it came back, but tonight's food is really disappointing. I'm not blaming the workers, it's the food itself. These fries aren't Checkers fries, they're a Great Value brand of them. Please don't let the quality fall apart to cut costs. It'll drive everyone away.“

“Very Modern and updated. Vibrant Colors keeping the atmosphere warm and cozy. A nice place to relax momentarily while enjoying a delicious and tasty meal with Family or Friends. Each time I purchase the Double Quarter pounder combo, The food is ALways fresh and cooked to order. Might I add, have yourself a treat to an oreo McFlurry for a nightcap! I'm Lovin' it !“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“
