46 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Dayton

“Each year around Thanksgiving, we celebrate our employees with a company-sponsored breakfast. Despite economic challenges and tariffs negatively impacting our bottom line, we wanted to continue this tradition. This year, we provided a continental-style breakfast featuring Chick-fil-A chicken biscuit sandwiches, fresh fruit, and several additional items from a local warehouse store. Chick-fil-A delivered our food promptly, complete with all necessary utensils and serving supplies. A special thank-you to William, our delivery driver, who was exceptionally patient and kind. When I asked about signing the receipt and adding a tip, he explained that Chick-fil-A doesn’t process tips—but his excellent service deserves recognition. We want to express our appreciation to the Washington Township Chick-fil-A, operated by Marla Davis, as well as her Centerville (Cornerstone area) location. As a local Centerville resident, I find both restaurants are consistently efficient, and their employees are always friendly and professional. We highly recommend Marla Davis’s Chick-fil-A locations for any catering needs or any Chic-fil-A craving.“

“we love coming to eat there We drive all the way from West Chester.“

“I ordered two tacos I really was looking for the spaghetti and the chili and should have ordered the three-way but thought I'd try the tacos I found the wrap although well cooked with somewhat tough. I certainly will go back and I really like the spaghetti and the chili and the chili dogs but I think I'll pass on the tacos. I sang some songs for myself on a video with the concertina and was able to do some work because they had great Wi-Fi which worked easily and allowed me to plug in my computer and I got something done. Recommended it is but not really for the tacos“

“Our group of 6 from Hidden Springs Senior Living decided to stop in for lunch. We all agreed that the food was Wonderful and the service was too. Staff was very helpful and friendly 😊 We are already planning our next visit!“

“This restaurant would be just another Fazoli’s without their amazing team member, Caitlin. She takes customer service to another level in 2025. She’s friendly, always offers a smile and personalizes each and every interaction with patrons. Not to mention she follows up with customers to ensure their experience is a positive one in the dining room. A+ Caitlin!!!“

“I love everything about Chick-fil-A.“

“Great service Good food“

“This spot is TOP TIER. Worth every penny!!!!!!!“

“First time eating here and enjoyed every bite.“

“We stopped by this Taqueria after finishing a job in the area, and it ended up being the perfect spot to grab a meal. The food was fresh and full of flavor, and the staff was genuinely friendly. It’s the kind of place that makes you appreciate the local businesses in our community.

We’re often working all over the city helping families move, so finding a place like this where we can relax for a few minutes really makes a difference in our day. The service was quick, everything tasted great, and the atmosphere had a welcoming feel.
Really glad we found this spot we’ll definitely be back the next time we’re working nearby.

“I stopped by here to get dinner for my friend and I. I accidentally ordered the wrong side for my friend and I always hate to ask them to fix it but I did. The employee said no problem and fix it right away. It's just a little thing sometimes“

“This is the only penn station I will eat at . Being a recent agm at another location.. this store really knows how to push food through.. friendly , helping, and clean. Everytime we come in here .. greetings everytime! Today i have been checked on by 5 different workers including mangt. when leaving .. thank you have a great day. These days those values are tossed in the dirt but the management team here . Blue ,maroon and red shirts are all professional. Including the workers . Thank you for being a great place to eat.“

“It has been a while since I was able to eat at Long John Silvers...or A&W, for that matter. I was very pleasantly surprised at how good it all tasted. The flavor or the fish is one-of-a-kind and unforgettably cravable. The chicken has a similar, but equally good flavor. I remember actively disliking hushpuppies when I was a kid. The hushpuppies that I had today were the first ones that I have ever had that I would search out again. They were wonderful.“

“Can't speak highly enough about this establishment & Management. There was an unintentional mishap with our order. They realized the error before we did & already had plans to extend kindness to us. We visited the following day & were treated to meals & shakes! As previously mentioned in a review, we absolutely love the food! However, we had not tried the shakes. Do yourself a favor & try one. They are excellent & have Quality ingredients! The Strawberry has "strawberries " in it, chocolate has "chocolate", etc. We ate in this time & the service was great! From the Manager who welcomed us & treated us graciously, to the smiling, friendly cashier who took our order. I'm a local Business owner & highly value attention to details, quality, & service. This place has is spot on!“

“fast and friendly atmosphere“

“Always great subs and fast service !! 🙂“

“Seriously killer shakes!“

“had dinner here tonight for the 1st time. very friendly folks. the manager was hilarious. will definitely be back“

“If you haven’t tried Yumi Boba Tea yet, you’re missing out. Best boba AND the food is chef’s kiss 🤌 Definitely my new go-to spot!📍 Located at The Greene 💛🧋“

“I haven't been in to a Steak n Shake in years. In fact maybe multiple decades. But we went in because they fry in beef tallow. A much healthier choice than cheap processed seed oils. They will now be my new go to when I want a burger and fries. Plus they have amazing shakes!
The manager, I believe his name was Brian, at the Wilmington Ave location, could not have been more helpful and kind. Will definitely go back. It was clean and fresh and everyone was so nice.“

“Hey
I was having an awful day. My life has been unraveling in EVERY way. However the woman that made my #7 made the difference. OMG very polite professional truly a woman of God. She and her crew made the difference. They all deserve 20 days of PTO a raise and promotion

Couldn't end without paying homage to my home town tho...see picture below.

Happy New Year
Happy Sandwich 🥪“

“Great Customer service! Clean and relaxing places to sit and wait while our drinks were being made. I think my daughter and I found our new FAVORITE spot for protein shakes, and energizing teas!!! If you haven’t tried it, you NEED to!“

“Its sucks and its trashy and the bathroom smells like crap“

“Ordered online for pickup on a Friday at 710 and was given a pickup of 730. Because it was Friday night, I gave it a little buffer (based on my map history I arrived 738p). There was only one car in line and no one inside except workers so figured I'd get served right away, the other car pulled away almost immediately, but it still too until 750. The workers were very friendly, the food came out exactly as ordered, and I didn't have anything to rush for so it wasn't a big deal but it was a bit excessive for the lack of other customers/ business.“

“They always have great service and are quite friendly!“

“best experience here with cashier samantha. quesadilla was cooked right steamed and grilled! potato tacos were fresh. everything tasted great and make correctly. i asked to try a small amount of the new dragonfruit freeze before i bought one and she give me one for free. amazing workers tonight!!“

“the mushroom and swiss burger“

“great food, friendly“

“great burgers love my order as well“

“A bit outdated but nothing too crazy, the atmosphere was really nice and I liked the mix of decor (its both an a&w and a long john silvers). The cashier was super nice and the rest of the staff seemed friendly as well. The food was really good and exceeded our expectations which quite honestly were pretty low but we left very pleasantly surprised.“

“I absolutely adore all the ladies here who genuinely care about their customers and the people who work the shops around them. Always so pleasant and caring ☺️ they always make sure to remember and ask about the small things to make you feel important. This has been the best subway I've been to!!“

“That’s some good a$$ no pork in anything food baby! This is home while I’m here working!! Huge portions, super tender, meaty beef ribs, awesome customer service. Absolutely perfect!!!“

“I use to go to the Troy St location since I’m only a couple blocks away from that location , However the last several times I’ve went to that location they messed up my order. I’m not one to call & complain so I let it slide but after the last time messing up all 3 orders I said no more & started going to the Linden Ave location & so far my order hasn’t been messed up one time. When they forget the biscuits , get the chicken type wrong all the time that’s it for me . I can’t keep going back each week to get the order I wanted so we end up eating what we were given & on a couple occasions my husband didn’t get to eat because he can’t eat spicy foods & all the orders were spicy & shouldn’t have been. Single sides were put inside with meals instead of being on the side individually like I ordered them . I get the same 3 meals EVERY Wednesday . I may switch sides on 1 of them but thats it . When they forget the biscuits , get the chicken type wrong all the time that’s it for me . Since going to Linden Ave & having an automated thing take your order I haven’t had any problems what so ever & I was skeptical about ordering through that .“

“Come here before and after soccer/school with friends. Food always comes out fast and it is the best tasting I’ve had from McDonald’s. The women manager sometimes gets frustrated at her co workers, but who can blame her for the stressful job she does.“

“The line was long the outside speaker didn't work very well I got soaked trying to place my Order but the food was very good and delicious. I enjoyed my meal yesterday.“

“I usually choose chipotle over hot head, but I have to say that the customer service and food are always on point. The variety of sauces makes it easy to choose hothead restaurant as my choice, the restaurant is always clean and welcoming! The staff are always friendly and well the food is amazing!! Great job! My littles really enjoyed their little bowls.“

“Love the chicken salad sandwiches“

“I genuinely think the crew that they have working there now is a good crew. The line goes pretty quick, they make the food how they're supposed to, and they're friendly most of the time. One of the few places in that area that I don't dread going to.“

“the owner here is so sweet and considerate. I grew up walking to this one all the time in the summer and prefer this one out of any in the area just because of how friendly they are.“

“Food is fabulous, they were very friendly and very kind people. I’m pregnant and had to use the bathroom really bad and they let me in even knowing how busy they were tonight. Amazing crew! 10/10 would recommend this place and will be back as well“

“Their ice cream machine is always working when I am craving a milkshake. Specifically went to get the Shamrock shake during this run and I was not disappointed whatsoever. Yummy. I also got some fries and nuggets that were hot and ready for consumption.“

“Ro, and Jay were super professional when it came to a doordashing issue, resolved it with the up most professionalism. Even when a customer was being unreasonable they made sure to keep their composer, and handle everything with the kindest attitudes!“
