35 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Waynesville

“Food is fresh and hot for the most part. Only thing I will point out is the one guy “early morning staff” between open 6-8am and really doesn’t like it when you order a frappe or hot latte. For the excuse that the machine is down or it will take 15 minutes or longer. so I order one anyways and a sweet gal always comes out on time with my hot latte or frappe that’s on point. I’m very thankful of that gal with great enthusiasm way to keep your team going with no issues of waiting around.“

“The same guys are always working when me and my co worker visit for lunch and they are so sweet! They always make sure we are having a good day and go out of their way to take care of us. The store is in excellent condition as well and has such a cute small town atmosphere. 100% my favorite Subway location!!“

“Cane’s has the best chicken I have ever had. The line is usually long but they are very very fast and it never takes long to get the food.“

“The hotdogs were good, the service was decent, waited a bit for our check, she took our order and brought it to us, that was the service. I was blown away that a $2.99 hotdog was the size of a half a hotdog. Eating 2 was like eating 1 hotdog. For 4 hot dogs, 2 sodas and a water was almost $19.00. like I said, they were good.“

“We ate at Chick-fil-A today for my son’s second birthday. It’s his favorite! I asked a worker to kindly bring me one of each Christmas cow so my birthday boy could pick one and then I’d come up to the register and pay for it. She was excited to do so. She told me to not worry about paying for it that she was sure he deserved. Exceptional customer service! She really made his day. I didn’t catch her name but she did have on a black apron and was African American.“

“Great customer service! Our favorite place to eat! 🤗“

“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!!!“

“What a great experience at Chick-fil-a Cornerstone. Everyone is friendly & smiles, polite, & fast service. I would recommend 100%“

“I’m a huge fan of the breakfast biscuits, Martha and Kim on their night shift are always so helpful when I’m in the store for dinner as well.“

“Burgers and fries that scratch my food itch every time!“

“I'm not use to spaghetti in my chili. But I wanted to experience its authenticity. It was delicious, but next time, I will try the bowl of chili. Customer service was outstanding. You won't be disappointed. My granddaughter had the Chilli dog. She said she should've had two.“

“Got in and it looked pretty packed on a Friday afternoon, but the hostess w.ily got to us right away! She was polite, and the order was served in less time than it took to set up the kiddo in her seat!
The food was hot and as with the chilli, a mountain of cheese and onions for my 4 way (I would recommend onions as it goes well!) and drinks were refreshed promptly. Emily also had fun talking to the kiddo so she had a great time! Would definitely go back for an easy going family meal without a worry about dressing up or down 😁“

“Great restaurant! Friendly faces and quick service every time. There is plenty of free parking and tables available. Dine in and take out. Delicious food, I love their apple jalapeño sauce, and their Shakes are delicious too. Kids friendly. Love their trains decor! Highly recommended.“

“The food was delicious, and I got to have hot dogs, chili, and cheese in the Coney Bowl! I am eating low carb, so it was nice to know that they could accommodate that. The server was great, and the atmosphere was nice. The restaurant was very clean!

Dietary restrictions: Carb friendly“

“This was a Doordash purchase. This was my first time trying it and I was extremely impressed. I liked the bogo for their burritos. This place knows what they are doing. The food was amazing. I plan on going to the restaurant to get the whole experience. I have told a number of people to try this place.“

“First time being at Jersey Mike’s and I got the chipotle Philly steak sub I believe I’m saying it right it was absolutely amazingly delicious 😋 I would definitely recommend to anyone the best sub around. The best sub I’ve ever had.“

“Hate the new fries. Everything else was great. Bit of a leaky roof in the heavy rain was disconcerting in a restaurant. Staff was very friendly. Don’t eat LJS often (locations at home aren’t convenient) but had a craving and this location was near the service appointment for my car“

“All girls and guys has been good, but today a girl acted very rude service“

“good food , friendly workers“

“Cheese Steak!!!! Highly recommend!!“

“My family's and I's favorite ice cream place of all time.. walk up, drive through, drive and park.. awesome, friendly, staff, and a very popular small town Dary Queen! A must-have / must-try! They have the best and thickest soft-serve ice cream around and blizzards are amazing. My favorite DQ! Plus they have awesome items for lunch as well!“

“It is a solid Penn Station location. It is never dirty or disorganized and the staff are always helpful and kind.

Ultimately it is just a sandwich shop and its not fancy inside. It is a great place to takeaway from although I have eaten inside several times and it works well enough for that.

The food is excellent in terms of price to performance but some options are greasy. The fries are excellent.“

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

“great food, friendly“

“Despite a seemingly modest 3.8-star rating, this Steak n Shake location appears to be a diamond in the rough, especially when considering recent improvements and a potential bias in older reviews. A recent online pickup order on Sunday, May 18th, around 6:30 PM, delivered an experience so unexpectedly positive it evoked powerful nostalgia.

For anyone who remembers Steak n Shake's golden age, this visit suggests a remarkable return to form. The quality, which I feel declined around 2017, seems to have been fully restored, or at least this particular establishment is setting an exceptionally high bar.

Here's a breakdown of the meal:
* Burger: 9.5/10 – A near-perfect patty that clearly hit all the right notes.
* Bun: 9.0/10 – A strong performance, complementing the burger well.
* Burger Toppings: 9.5/10 – Fresh and well-proportioned, enhancing the overall burger experience.
* Bacon on Burger: 7.5/10 – Solid, though perhaps the weakest link in an otherwise stellar burger.
* Fries in Beef Tallow: 10.0/10 – An absolute standout, achieving perfection in flavor and texture.
* Cheese Sauce: 8.5/10 – A very good accompaniment, adding a satisfying richness.
* Presentation and Packaging for To-Go Orders: 9.5/10 – Demonstrates a commitment to quality even for off-premise dining.

The undisputed champion of the order, however, was the Oreo and M&M Milkshake, scoring an astounding 19.5/10. I would hail this as the best fast-food milkshake in over a decade, for its exceptional presentation, ideal thickness, and outstanding flavor.

This Steak n Shake location has clearly rediscovered its stride, offering an experience that not only satisfies but deeply impresses. For anyone traveling to the Dayton Metro area, a return visit is highly recommended.“

“First, YES it is IN the entrance of the YMCA. Second, good sushi! Had 2 Make Your Own Burritos in the Seaweed wrap. Soy sauce and Wasabi are available if you ask. If you like temaki or futomaki, this place is great. They also have fried rice and teriyaki chick burritos for those who don't care for fish. Third, SUSHI DOUGHNUTS! Went back for one and was not disappointed.Surprise inside the YMCA! This is proper hand-rolled sushi. Speaking of, there's soy sauce and wasabi. I'll come back later! ☺️“

“The location is tucked away, but it might be my favorite Gold Star location, especially dining in. I've never had a bad experience at this location. Tonight, our waitress, Eva, was attentive, fast, and friendly. The food was cooked perfectly. This has always been the perfect location before or after a movie. The location may look empty, but don't let that fool you. It's great!“

“It’s was nice, clean store and customer service is very friendly. I am fan of blizzard.“

“It's something about Taco Bell that keeps me coming back for more. The food, the little kick of spice I get from the sauces, the Baja Blast freeze. . . Oh my goodness, how could you forget the legendary freeze?!!! Sometimes I wish to have a Taco Bell inside my home like the football player in those commercials lol. Taco Bell is delicious any time of the day. Breakfast. . . Lunch. . . Dinner. . . Late night snack, you just can't go wrong without grabbing some delicious food here!!!“

“My favorite Wendy's . super nice staff. Go their at least once a week“

“The food was great as usual with Hot Head Burritos but I didn't like the fact that they buried the lower costing items on a less visible spot on the menu... it wasn't hidden it just didn't pop out at me... that may say more about me than it does about this eatery.“

“I had the best customer experience today around 3:50 pm. It's very rare these days to get absolutely ? customer service. The gentleman who worked the drive through window was Cody and he really made my day by delivering the best customer service ? ? I hope that this company realizes the quality of service that you bring to the company. Thanks for your awesome service.“

“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.“

“Fantastic Reuben's. Great sides!“
