45 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Valley City

“Fast, Friendly, and Fantastic Food.“

“I can’t say enough great things about the Medina Chick fil a. Everyone is always friendly, happy to help and answers any questions. Ordering drive thru, dining in or even catering is always wonderful! Thanks to the Medina chick fil a team!“

“as a cuban i had such an amazing experience here!! the chef and waitress were so kind and came out to chat a few times, i felt right at home. :)) the restaurant plays classic cuban music and the vibe is so authentically cuban, it made my heart so full to see a restaurant of my culture!! the food was delicious and authentic, tastes just like my mom's cooking. i recommend the yuca en mojo and congri, the pollo asado was honestly delicious and my boyfriend got a pan con lechon that filled him up after only eating half!! great prices, great service, great people! patria y vida“

“Five Guys STICKER SHOCK!!! 😱 $82.17 — NO DRINKS! ’Take-out for 5 people, $16.43/person! 4 cheeseburgers, 2 hotdogs, 4 fries.

This was our first time back in a couple years or so… When did Five Guys get sooo EXPENSIVE!?!?!

It stung when the guy said the total. I thought I heard wrong. Esp when we were expecting a quick, cheaper meal but we walked out feeling like we just paid for dining in.

It felt like it should’ve been cheaper because it was counter service, but inflation has sure shifted them into a different category!

We basically paid sit-down restaurant prices without:
* service
* atmosphere
* or even drinks/refills

For that kind of total, we could’ve gone somewhere casual, sat down, and probably spent about the same (or even less) and had a more relaxed experience.

Five Guys used to feel like a treat that was still reasonable… now it’s like a “special occasion burger,” which is kind of wild…because it wasn’t even that great. It was good but not $82.17 good. Sorry Five Guys, but you just lost customers.“

“Canes always has great food but this locations service was questionable. The young girl and guy preparing the food were goofing around and very loud with one another so much that it could be overheard standing 15ft away from the counter. She appeared to have no gloves on while she prepared the food. Food prep did not appear to be a priority. The dining area was so loud with music I had to put ear buds in to try and dim down the noise. I will not eat in this place again and that was the second time I ate at this location.“

“I've never had faster service with fresher food than at Canes. The people there were nice and the ordering was straightforward. This is a wonderful place to go after an event as they serve nearly instantly and never disappoint with what they give you.“

“This is the best Dairy Queen I’ve ever been to. The outdoor seating is amazing. It’s like a time capsule from the 50s or something. The putt putt course needs a renovation but is still really fun. Nice driving range in back if you are into that. Food typical to DQ, not my fav but I’ll be back with my kid for the overall vibe.“

“This venue is truly remarkable… they always extend a warm welcome to returning customers, making them feel like family. The grilled cheese with 2-3 patties is a must-try. The staff consistently provides exceptional service, demonstrating kindness to every customer. I highly recommend stopping by this location. It is undoubtedly the best location.“

“Dave the manager is top notch. Great attitude and friendly!“

“I come here often for a late dinner if I’ve had a busy day. The staff are always very friendly, accommodating, and precise. Even being sure to ask about food allergies.This is the kind of service I expect at a sit down restaurant.Thank you to the staff for always being there when I am in a hurry!Keep up the great work!“

“I haven’t had a cheeseburger in months. So of course Five Guys hit the spot.😊“

“The banana split was excellent in taste and presentation. Delicious 😋 The strawberry sundae did not disappoint 😋 Just enough to satisfy my ice cream craving for the warm afternoon. 💖 Thanks. See you next time soon.“

“Quick drive through service. great food, friendly employees.“

“Quick drive through service. great food, friendly employees.“

“Who designed this place? Seriously. I would like to ask them a question- why do you think it was a good idea to force customers to walk through the drive up lanes to enter the store? Using either entrance you must walk through cars in an active drive up lane/s . It must be unsafe as the workers wear high visibility vests in the drive up but customers.....good luck playing real life frogger.“

“Visited around 3:30pm on June 26, 2023. Ordered on the app and picked up via drive-thru. Had an awesome experience. Food and service were great.
EDIT APR 2026 - Had another great experience here and food was made fresh to order for sure. Good Taco Bell!“

“Emi and her team are always polite and offer delicious, fresh food. We ordered catering from Emi's for our party and all the guests loved the food. Emi was very flexible and patient with my order updates as the party date approached.“

“Congratulations Strongsville DQ! You made my Brownie Batter Blizzard the right way! (There were two previous purchases from two other locations that couldn't get it right) Chocolate ice cream (the real stuff - not vanilla ice cream mixed with chocolate syrup) and actual chunks of brownie (not brownies obliterated by the mixer). You'll have all my Brownie Batter Blizzard business from here on out! SO happy! Thank you!“

“The employees, the food, I love this place! One of my favorite regular places to go!! Highly recommend!“

“Update: I went for a second time and realized a place shouldn’t be judged by one experience. No mistakes on the order this time, food was still good . Good but not great .

I eat a decent amount of fast food and I was surprised myself that I hadn’t tried Culver’s. So I made the drive to this location about 15 minutes from me . I heard good things about the onion rings and I had ordered a large one but of course my first order and it was missing. I don’t really mind getting a few orders wrong when I go go to a place lot of times but first time kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

Food was decent . Chicken sandwich doesn’t compare to Chick Fil A at all.“

“Friendly crew and hot & delicious food! Seems like there's always a decent movie playing on the TV which helps pass the time while you wait. I always order at the counter, though. I'm sure most order ahead online. Love the Nashville sauce! 🌶️“

“I never thought I'd have another italian sub sandwich again after I stopped eating meat in the late '90s (yeah, people can do it for that long and still be alive. Amazing, right?). And then I saw that Dave's Cosmic Subs has vegan options. Well now I'm enjoying them again thanks to this place. I can't believe I've waited this long to try anything from them, but I'm making up for it now.“

“I usually love arby's and go once a week with my son. today was the worst I have EVER been treated and once again they didn't give my son a stupid toy!!!! I like my usual lady through the drive thru, today was a young rude lady who inorged me, yelled at me, didn't ask if I wanted any sauce, and didn't give me a survey or her name. I am definitely contacting corporate!“

“Food and service was good however we dined in with toddler and TV right above us played a violent TV show. Not good!

Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly due to the violent nature of TV show, won't be back unless this changes“

“I don't usually do reviews, but I just have to. Gilbert Noel is the absolute best customer service person you could hope to have. He is always smiling, has a GREAT attitude and is the real reason we go there . If I owned a company, I would do everything I could to hire him away. The food is always good, Gilbert is great!!“

“Tiffany the manager is the best!! Chestnut commons Elyria. She went out of her way to make things right. I had accidentally ordered a pick up order while claiming my rewards. But I needed a delivery.

She had already left work for the day but came back just to deliver my order.

Please promote her ! But keep her in Lorain county! She is dedicated and smart.“

“First time customers. We stopped to get a fish and shrimp dinner to share and take home. Everything was absolutely delicious especially the coleslaw which I’m usually very picky about. And the service was excellent. Very friendly people there.“

“3 stars! The apartment complex is in a nice area and is very clean. However, the maintenance does not take orders as emergencies as our door knob is not working and continuously spins when we try to use it. We have been locked out of our apartment before. The office ladies are always very pleasant and love our dog, Cotton very much.“

“It’s not often you feel welcomed at fast food restaurants. The food here is always fresh and the staff is extremely friendly. This is clearly a display of great leadership on behalf of the manager. I come here once every couple of weeks and I met with nothing but smiles and polite attitudes.“

“Friendly greeting, enthusiastic service, great smoothie! Thank you!“

“Came here recently and honestly had a really good experience. The food was fresh, hot, and came out quick. Chicken was crispy and seasoned perfectly, fries were fresh, and the biscuits were actually soft for once. Staff was respectful and kept the line moving even when it got busy. Definitely one of the better Popeyes locations around the SouthPark area. I’ll be coming back for sure“

“This Wendy's is now my go to on North Court St for fast food. Burger King and McDonald's are SO slow. Each time I have ordered in the app this Wendy's has had my order ready and I do arrive with in five minutes of my order. Food is fine, it's Wendy's. Staff also usually friendly.“

“We showed up to place a large order for a funeral service with little notice. My thoughts were all over the place and the manager, Angela, couldn’t have been more helpful, patient, supportive, and kind. She didn’t rush me at all when I was trying to gather my thoughts about my order. She even reached out to me the next day to let me know that I do not need to worry about a thing and that she would deliver the order herself. The food showed up on time, and was very well received by all of the guests. This Medina location and Angela were angels. Highly recommend!“

“I worked out in strongsville for 4 years but left for another job in cleveland. Started back at my old job recently in strongsville and stopped here for lunch and the lady behind the counter remembered me and my order lol. Very nice lady, food is always good!“

“I don’t know what kind of magic was happening at Taco Bell this morning, but I am not mad about it.

First of all, Brenden at the register deserves a raise, a promotion, and honestly his own Taco Bell franchise at this point. His customer service was top tier—polite, professional, and nicer than most people I talk to before coffee.

And the FOOD?! Fresh. Fresh fresh. Like it was made with love, respect, and possibly supervision from Gordon Ramsay himself. I had to double check I was actually at Taco Bell and not some secret 5-star location.

Brenden and the team understood the assignment. Thank you for making my morning and restoring my faith in fast food. I will absolutely be back. 🌮👏“

“Very good service, the counter lady was so nice to all my kids and gave them all a kids meal toy even though we all only got Frosties. :)“

“Whoever made order number 26 today should be in charge of making all the chicken bacon ranch sandwiches. At 6 months pregnant, all I want are these sandwiches. They went above and beyond for me today as I accidentally ordered two sandwiches. A refund, I got to keep my second sandwich, and it’s the best one I’ve ever had, you made my day.“

“Excellent restaurant very pleasant staff great food. My sandwich was awesome. As usual I get the tuna sub and I eat half there and half the next day and it wasn't soggy overall, this is a great restaurant and to me it is a little pricey but I get two meals out of it ! And it's worth it for the quality“

“Love love. I eat it once a week.“

“Hot Head Burrito is the best! I wish there was one closer to me but any time I’m in Strongsville, I get it. My fav 🌮 WAYYYYYY better than Chipotle and any other place in the same category“

“I want to recognize Michael Green, owner and operator of Culver's in Brunswick, Ohio, and his outstanding team.

During my visit, they didn't just meet expectations—they surpassed every standard of excellence. From the warm welcome and friendly service to the quality of the food and the professionalism of the staff, every detail reflected a commitment to exceptional customer service.

Michael, you've built a team that truly cares about the customer experience, and it shows. Thank you and your staff for setting such a high standard and for being a tremendous asset to the Brunswick community.

Wishing you continued success. God bless!“

“I’m a brand new mom of a 2 month old. He hates his car seat, so I have him out of it carrying him around as often as I can. I walked in to pick up my order with baby in hand when a young man with dark curly hair lit up at the sight of my baby and went above and beyond by opening the door for us, carrying my order out to my car, and putting it in the passenger seat for me. He wasn’t weird about it, was just very thoughtful and seemed genuinely excited to help a young mom. I was floored at this kind of service from a restaurant like Papa John’s (we have had less consideration at nicer restaurants) and even more so from a young man! Please consider him for a raise and promotion. The food was as expected, but we will be returning here just because of the kind employees.“

“Just had the brisket sandwich. It was delicious. Thank you. It was just as good as I remembered. I need to stop in more often.“

“A employee was talking about how they only had three people scheduled on such a busy day and I agree they needed more staff but she should also not say that stuff out loud in front of guests and told someone to use the kiosk so not thats its employees fault but I rated low for service because they need to pay attention to things and keep proper staffing because all the hotels were sold out in the whole town and especially by this taco bell which if you pay enough attention you can tell at least somewhat when you will be busier cause today was a clear indication of it. Im patient and had no trouble waiting but many around me are upset and your employees get stressed from all the crap customers throw at them because you dont want to sufficiently staff. Hope your employees get some help but im sure you guys wont even care cause the care seems to be completely gone with fast food owners.“
