39 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Wrightsville Beach

“I’ve been dying to try this local hotdog stand ever since I’ve first came to Wrightsville Beach! The atmosphere definitely reminded me of a great Chicago hotdog stand… Even if the Vienna beef is nowhere to be had, I enjoyed the recommendations from Jackson. I have both the Polish and the traditional trolley dog. Both hit the spot along with the fountain Coke. It didn’t hurt that. It was a beautiful day to have the dogs out on the beach and parking is free in November. Service from Jackson was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.“

“the absolute best burger. hot food and fast.“

“I’ve actually never been inside, I’ve only had this pizza delivered but I had to give it 5 stars across the board. It is by far my favorite NYC style pizza in town. I even eat the crust, which I usually skip elsewhere. They’ve got that good restaurant ranch, and their marinara is solid. They use the thin-cut, round Italian sausage and slice the veggies perfectly thin. Vito’s special is it, treat yourself.“

“One of the best burgers and fries in Wilmington reminds me of my favorite place in Vermont“

“I frequent this location and it’s always good but I just wanted to compliment the employees working last night 1/28/26. It was BUSY, lines wrapped in the drive through as well as inside and they were running that place like a well oiled machine. Especially the girl at the front (didn’t catch her name but she was blonde) running back and forth from order line to the take out area around 6:15. Fantastic service!!!“

“This is the best sub shop in Wilmington hands down!! Their fried pickles are the best in town too!!! You will not regret trying it out 😄“

“If I could give this location more stars I definitely would!! My husband and I came in to eat at 8pm and didn’t realize the dining room had closed. After we ordered and realized the dining room was closed, we immediately tried to leave and apologize. Rogina and Danielle were having none of that and asked us to stay and enjoy our meal. The team had our food out so quickly and the fries were so hot. Even after us coming in after they closed the dining room, the service was top notch. Such a great team!! I'm not sure who else was working but I really appreciate how kind everyone was. Rogina, Danielle, and the team working tonight thank you so much!! The world needs more kindness like you showed us tonight.“

“I MISS SOOOO MUCH!!! I'M FROM WILMINGTON & live in Texas now I wanna move back 😩 MISS this place“

“I have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere here!“

“Worth the wait. And make sure you tip your server.“

“Phil working at your window today delivers excellent customer service! Very kind young man!“

“I was just expecting a regular experience at this Chick-fil-A, me and my friend went inside, ordered our food and began to wait. We both
Received our food… but one thing was missing! Her coke float! We thought nothing of it and waited 10 minutes for the float to arrive. We were starting to lose Hope just when David! David ( the one with the muscles ) I kindly asked if we were still waiting on something and when he caught wind that we were missing our float, he jumped on the task and it was out within two minutes. He so nicely gave us a soft serve ice cream to make everything better. And if that wasn’t good enough, he gave me 2 different versions of the honey mustard I asked for, one for dipping, and one for squeezing onto my sandwich. I MEAN THE DETAILS! Anyways great experience 10/10!!“

“Carolina Girls made our company lunch a success! Great food, able to accommodate a large TO GO lunch order with no delays and the most amazing staff! Thank you so much. We will definitely be back :)“

“I would definitely recommend this place cause their cheese burgers are so dang delicious and when i come back to visit i would be pulling up at their window to..“

“I had the sheer delight of stumbling across this place on my way to another restaurant. What a happy find! The food is fantastic. The sanitation rating is 99.5, which is excellent, and the place is immaculately clean. The service was FANTASTIC. JODI was pure sunshine radiating from the order area. She helped me order and was so wonderful that if I owned a business I would hire her in a heartbeat and pay her double!“

“This is like a Subway on Crack! Excellent service, their system is fail proof with individual stations for your sandwich or wrap. The food is always prepared very well and did I mention that the staff is exceptional! Pleasure to eat there. No my kid does not work there I just appreciate great service and food.“

“Friendly staff Great employees“

“Great customer service and no long wait even with a line. I came to the beach from Goldsboro NC we don’t have a Church’s Chicken wish we did they just keep giving us a bunch of Bojangles 🙄. My food was fresh and tasted so good one of the best Church’s I have been too and get this the crew was small and still got the job done! Great job crew keep up the good work!“

“Best Burger in Wrightsville Beach“

“El mejor restaurante Hondureño de Wilmington 💓🫶❤️ RICO“

“Love this place!! Their barbecue sandwiches are the BOMB . . . my only recommendation is please make sure the bread doesn’t fall apart!! Maybe drain the barbecue and the coleslaw a little more before putting it on. Today’s sandwich was good . . . but they have been a bit soggy in the past. Keep up the good work!!“

“We waited at the curbside for 20 minutes. Finally went in to get the food, might have been waiting on the cookies ordered. It was busier inside than out, so I'll give them a pass. Food was good and employees helpful and polite, apologetic for delay. Still one of my favorite stores to frequent.“

“Great food, very clean and friendly, fast service! We love Firehouse Subs- especially at Monkey Junction! ❤️“

“Huge fan of jerseys mikes! My mini #13 was wonderful! Perfect bite to eat before some beach time!“

“This is Hardee's. To say the food, service, or immediate environment was anything less than what is to be expected from such a prolific fast-food establishment would be a failure. The food is good, the service is good, and the good ol's were present and accounted for. If fast food is your mood, this location will likely meet and exceed your expectations in the best ways possible. Thanks, Hardee's.“

“This is my favorite location I’ve visited! The staff are extremely kind & helpful & my order is always correct. It’s clear the staff here is very efficient, working well through extremely busy times.

My only quarrel is (& this has nothing to do with this specific store) the cups!!! I have dropped or almost dropped the cups so many times from how slippery they are. They don’t hold their shape very well either. Please, pass this along to corporate & thank you for all you do!!“

“very good sandwich 🥪. great people . very clean.“

“Checkers food is decent to me and especially because I live in a small town far away from where a checkers is so this place is the closest, so when I visit my doctors offices I go by and pick something up. However, this place...the workers are NOT friendly by any means. They need to upgrade definitely to save their jobs, which I'm sure they don't care, they always have that look on their faces like they have NO care in the world. I'm sure some of them do, but the ones we see don't so. They need to start hiring better customer service experienced workers, you get customers to come back. I actually have started finding other places to visit to eat now because of their rudeness. But the food could be fresher and better prepared so it's the workers, not the actual food itself.“

“Absolutely wonderful staff, Walker was a blast to talk to while he made my sub in a tub. Something I especially like is the manager isn’t afraid to step in and work the line slicing meat for orders. My only complaint is this isn’t the one near my house!“

“Food is awesome. Love their milkshakes too. I just left 11/16/25 manager was working both windows and killing it. Food was on point and order was made correctly. I didn't catch his name but he deserves some props. They weren't even backed up. We passed the Cookout/taco roos location bc the line was almost into college road.“

“This location deserves more love. The staff here is absolutely fantastic and so nice, the food is always right and the 1 or 2 times there was a mistake, it was immediately corrected with no issue. I love getting food from this taco bell, the night crew is A++ y’all genuinely have kind people representing out here.“

“Tameka was the manager/employee who greeted me upon walking in. She greeted me with a smile and light conversation. She didn’t mind serving me one bit! We discussed the differences in specific menu items at different restaurants etc etc.
I’m only leaving this review so someone can recognize Tameka’s service! People like Tameka are rare and the service she provides is even more rare. I appreciate your professionalism and the “small talk” Tameka! Thank you ma’am!“

“Best food I've had. I can see why is called cookout. The burgers feel that way and it's a cozy time with every bite. All the food we had was delicious. Onion rings, hush puppies, Cajun fries and white cheddar cheese curds. It was all deep fried, and crunchy. Bonus points it is not greasy!!!!

We got combo meals and up graded to a shake which was also amazing, so many flavor options to choose from. We left very full and extra extra happy with our experiance.
The cashier was patient, polite and helpful“

“This McDonalds Saturday morning crew knows how to move. There was a long line and I debated on pulling in to order for that reason, but they handled every order without hesitation. Next thing I knew, I was getting my food the second I pulled up to the window and it was fresh, hot, and on time. Nothing you want more from a fast food restaurant. They checked all the boxes.“

“This Taco Bell is incredible. The first question they have asked me time to time in the drive thru is "How are you?" No other drive thru has done this. This shows an immense amount of empathy in their establishment. They supply absolute fantastic work but also 100% consideration for their public needs. I recommend them. Their managers are top tier and they treat their staff with respect and flourish in this locations business. There is a great energy going here.“

“whoever the man that was in there cleaning the tables was AWESOME! He made it very pleasant. He offered to clean our table and fill our drinks. We loved his SMILE. You can tell hes a HAPPY guy and loves his job“

“Always great! Been coming here (Porters Neck) since you guys opened and have never had a bad experience! Thanks! 😋“

“I know this place is usually backed up with people and there is almost always a wait for the food but I've never experienced bad service at this burger king like I have with the others in town. It could be because I just always assume they are short staffed and don't expect it in a hurry. I laugh with the staff and will not go to the other BKs in town. Sorry your so short handed most of the time but I appreciate you guys!“
