9 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Sylva

“By far, some of the best wings you can get. Philly Cheese steak was very good. Service was fantastic. Booth seats need a little padding to make them a bit comfortable.“

“I know this place had some issues in the past but they certainly seem to have learned from their mistakes. It does take an extra minute or two to get your order but with how good the food is and the fact that I have not had a single issue in a long time I personally don't mind at all. Keep up the good work!“

“I am a biscuit maker at the Hardee's in sylva, we work very hard to make your experience the best we can , yeah you might have to wait a minute or two to get what you want but it's well worth the wait.“

“Haven’t always been the biggest Dairy Queen fan back when I was a South Carolinian, but the service and freshness rings true here. We couldn’t receive our DoorDash order yesterday due to the restaurant being very busy and running out of vanilla ice cream. The manager saw us the next day when we came in and was very accommodating. Must try the cotton candy blizzard if you get the chance.“

“People behind the counter were speedy and absolutely the sweetest people ever. The food tasted amazing too :)“

“It's a McDonald's, we placed a mobile order. The first window said it wasn't there after we confirmed it at the speaker, then the second window was screaming they had it. After fifteen minutes of looking we did have everything in the order.“

“Before this visit, I had only been to a Cookout location once, and that experience wasn’t great. However, this visit completely changed my perspective on Cookout for the better. I was hungry, and since there aren’t many dining options in the city, my friend suggested we give it a try. At first, I was hesitant because of my previous bad experience at a different location, but I decided to keep an open mind and go for it.

I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich (cheddar style), chicken nuggets, and a walking taco as a side, paired with a lemonade. The lemonade was forgettable—I honestly can’t recall what it tasted like—but the food was much better than I expected.

If I were rating Cookout solely on my past visit to a different location, I would’ve never gone back. But this particular location made a full 360° turnaround for me. The food was good enough that I’ll definitely consider ordering from Cookout again.

The chicken sandwich was moist, packed with a decent amount of toppings, and overall delicious. My only minor complaint was that the freshness caused the bun to get a little soggy, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. The chicken nuggets were fresh, hot, and flavorful—though I wish the portion size had been a bit larger for my liking. As for the walking taco, it was tasty but could’ve been even better with a few more toppings. It primarily consisted of jalapeños, meat, cheese, and chips; a little more variety would’ve elevated it.

We went through the drive-thru, which was fairly packed, but despite the long line, we received our food pretty quickly. While waiting, I peeked inside the restaurant, and it looked clean and well-maintained. The staff working the drive-thru were polite, professional, and friendly, which added to the positive experience.

If you’ve tried Cookout before and weren’t impressed, I’d recommend giving this location a shot. It’s a solid spot in the area, with good food and service. While there’s still some room for improvement, I can confidently see myself returning or recommending it to others.“

“The Subway location I usually visit is on WCU's campus since that is the closest location to me, but I have passed this location many times when I have gone into town. We recently got a $10 gift card to Subway, so I ordered ahead on the Subway app to use it. I ordered an Ultimate B.M.T. footlong with Italian Herbs & Cheese bread, toasted, provolone as my cheese, and lettuce, cucumbers, oil, red wine vinegar, black pepper, salt, oregano, and parmesan cheese for my toppings. My partner got the Elite Chicken and Bacon Ranch footlong. We used a discount code to get both footlongs for $12.99 total, so with my gift card, I only paid about $4 out of pocket for the two footlong sandwiches. I will say that without the discount code, I likely would not have purchased the footlongs as they would be over $25 if we did not use it. We placed the order and it was ready for us by the time we got there. My order was made perfectly and it tasted great. I always appreciate when an online ordering option is available, and the people working were very efficient and nice!“
