31 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Hickory

“Five Guys fries are my favorite fries, they are fried in peanut oil and no preservatives. Sometimes I have problems with preservatives in restaurant food so none is better. Even the small fries are a lot so I eat half and freeze the rest. They taste great reheated.“

“Leslie was great ! Ended up being a rush when we got in but the food was served in a timely manner was absolutely delicious !!’ Will be back“

“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! 😊❤️“

“...Awesome place for different ice-cream treats...All the young people that work there are very courteous, polite and hard working...I just wish they'd bring back the hot foods like hotdogs 🌭 and hamburgers 🍔...Also I miss them for the few months their closed for winter...“

“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“

“great people. great place to eat!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!!“

“This Culvers was extremely impressive. We stopped by for lunch on our way to Asheville. When I say they were busy, that may be an understatement. Line out the door, drive thru lined up, parking lot FULL. Being that we had received a Culver's gift card for christmas, we decided to go ahead and stay. The staff was extremely friendly. We waited about 10 minutes in line to order considering the amount of people. Then only had to wait about 15 minutes for our hot and fresh food to be at our table. I have experienced longer wait times at other Culver's in an environment that was not a fraction of the amount of busy they were. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I want to give props to the crew working. They were on it! Everything was clean, even the drink station! As stated before, very impressed with how this location is ran. Like a smooth sailing ship. Great job guys!“

“Biscuitville never disappoints! I ordered the fried chicken biscuit with a side of fries, and everything was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the biscuit was warm, fluffy, and tasted homemade. The fries were hot, well-seasoned, and a great complement to the meal. You can really tell they care about quality and freshness here. If you’re looking for a solid, satisfying breakfast (or anytime comfort food), Biscuitville is always a great choice.“

“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“

“Candice has got to be the most personable customer service orientated manager that I have ever met! Her employees all seem to respect her and pretty much ask her what else needs to be done with a smile on their face. I dont know if it's a daily thing, but she was scrubbing the baseboard while another girl was taking the chair legs rubber pieces off, and another scrubbing bathroom floors, all with smiles and great attitudes. She seems to be a great manager and I cant wait for my weekly trips just to see that crew work together so peacefully. Finally fast food with genuine hospitality! And food was fresh and hot, didn't mind waiting on fresh fries, the whole experience was definitely worth it!“

“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.“

“If Tammy is running the show, this is the place to go. I went by this Whataburger today. I’m from Texas and the flavors where authentic just like if I was in Texas the atmosphere was very welcoming and I was made sure that I was taken care of good job Hickory Whataburger.“

“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'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!!!!“

“Best pizza hut by far. Food was on time, and delicious. We were welcomed as soon as we hit the front door and thanked on the way out. Family ordered carryout but we wanted to eat inside. Female with blue hair went above and beyond for my family. Definitely coming back. Thank you guys! 😁“

“I have always had good experiences coming to this Taco Bell! I only go through the drive thru, but the service is decently quick and good. I have been to other Taco Bell locations in the area and this seems to be the only one where my food is actually warm when it is given to me, not cold. AND I can count on my order being right here. No complaints!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Zaxby's of Hickory LR store is always a great place because the employees really seem to try their best to provide excellent service. It's always busy at lunch but the staff and especially the manager Keisha are always there to do anything to make the experience the best it can be.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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!“

“Thank you Domino's Food was good fast delivery driver was really nice and patient thank you for the delivery . I was just told Domino's is no longer going to do the sides for the pizza when I called to order another pizza today like side jalapenos side olives side items to whoever it concerns That's not a good idea thank you. 3/19/26-Update still really good thank you“
