42 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Rapid City

“I love this place, my kids love it, I love it, it is overall just a great place to be. If I were to recommend a smoothie place, it would be this. The service is great and I am treated with respect, the food and smoothies are amazing, and there is a soft sound playing while you order and eat. Love it and would recommend.“

“Very delicious food, fast service. I would recommend this place 💯😎👍“

“Ordered online and there must have been 10 orders in line and 10 online. I was impressed with the 2 young men working hot side and how they handled not only the orders but also the long line of folks waiting. Pizza was great, service was amazing.“

“This was my first time at any Culver's and I give it 5 stars. I interacted with two employees and both were super nice. The burger (butter burger double with cheese) was very tasty and absolutely fresh. The service was fast and the interior clean and comfortable. I say this location is a step up from the normal fast food experience.“

“I have to give all stars for Blaze pizza! Such a good place to grab a bite to eat with friends or family or solo yolo. 👌🏻 Pizza is good and custom made to your liking. You can get vegan or dietary options. Salads are healthy and yummy. The drinks are fire. Its a good vibes and customer service is on point.“

“This Culver’s is consistently on point! They have the friendliest service— the woman that is usually taking orders in the drive-thru in the afternoons is wonderful— & the food is always great. Definitely a favorite lunch spot & a good place for a sweet treat too!“

“The amount of ice cream in the peanut butter parfait was less than any other DQ I’ve visited. That was disappointing. It barely exceeded the top of the plastic parfait cup! The heath blizzard was good though. Get a blizzard if you go here.“

“I give a 5 star review because of my entire experience. The pizza and pizza melt both needed more sauce, especially considering I ordered extra sauce on the pizza and felt like it was less than expected on a regular pizza without the request for extra. However, I love this location & our meal was still good. I also have always had the best customer service every time we have been there. Seems like everyone truly cares and it makes all the difference.“

“I want to give a huge huge shout out to the Anthony Burton at the DQ in rapid city. We were eating close to closing time and in a hurry to get the kids back to the hotel I left my purse In the lobby. He contacted me and made sure I got my purse. I really really appreciate it and want to make sure he gets the shout out he deserves!!!!! Not many people out there these days that are honest like this!!!! Thank you so much Anthony!“

“I have a child with food allergies. The servers did not change their gloves while handling multiple plates . The lettuce was cross contaminated with the cheese because there were not mindful. They seemed visibly annoyed when I ask them to change their gloves.“

“Great quality food!! Always Fresh!“

“My place also Verrrry good“

“Great food!! First time at a Jersey Mike’s !“

“Love Q. My only concern is the chips have changed over the last couple of years. Even asked an employee and she didn't agree. They use to be light, crispy with a hint of lime . They have a few of those mixed in, but for the most part they are the opposite, thick and pretty much tasteless. They had the good ones for Cinco de Mayo! They were soo good!“

“Great food. Friendly fast service. Outdoor seating.“

“Went drive thru and ordered food. First time trying Taco John’s. Friendly staff that answered my questions about the different types of products.

Received my food and I am happy to report that it was quite tasty.“

“I like the e.north store good food and nice atmosphere Jenna is a very attentive manager“

“Always the best pizzas. Even our one minor issue was remedied full circle & then some. We’ve also had delivery a few times with Harold? I think that’s his name. The most friendly guy-and always sincere and quick service. Always pleased with this location.“

“Hearing Lori's voice in the Drive-Thru is probably one of my favorite starts to the day. She is always so happy and cheerful to quickly talk to as I drive through. When she is there the orders are correct and when she is not there it seems like the food quality and order consistency falls apart. Thanks, Lori!“

“Athena is a great asset to your team! My kiddo and I just came by for his free snack shake from school & she was just the absolutely sweetest thing to him. He was so excited he wanted to order it himself, so I let him and she was just so friendly and responsive to him it melted my heart. She put a big ole smile on his face tonight. Thank you for being such an awesome soul Athena, from one grateful mama ☺️“

“Best Arby’s I’ve ever eaten at. Restaurant was clean, customer service was excellent, fountain drinks mix was spot on and food was fresh and hot. First time I’ve ever gotten a double roast bed that was truly a double! I know it’s just fast food - but they did a great job!“

“The mushroom is really tasty. very clean and Greta service.“

“Awesome speedy service, really nice delivery person and excellent customer service. I forgot to ask for utensils and plates and soooo many restaurants don’t send one even when you are ordering from a motel room and these guys did! Food was good too.“

“I have to say that the service tonight was outstanding. We went straight for the self kiosk. To my surprise the cashier offered to help us personally instead. I was shocked. In this day and age nobody helps everything is electronic. The food was also made correctly despite modifications and very fresh. Very impressed.“

“I’ve been going to this Taco Johns for over 10 years. New Employees hired made a mistake in my order understanding they are in their first couple days of employment. Lisa the general manager was very understanding and didn’t jump to any excuses. She was very kind and helpful. 100% will return and continue to be a valued customer!!“

“Seriously, the best Taco Bell hands-down In Rapid City. Always such a pleasant experience always gets my difficult orders, correct. The people are just fantastic. They really have a great team whatever you guys are doing. You’re doing it right! I literally drive all the way from the west side to go to this Taco Bell because it is so freaking spot on every time! I appreciate all of you. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication! You really make it difference!“

“I've always loved A&W, the first place I worked at as a teenager. As always the food was great. The staff were definitely overwhelmed and behind. Didn't exactly get my order correct but I should of caught it as they read it back (wanted cheese curds not cheese fries). The dining area isn't closed off from the gas station so that was a bit weird“

“Great burgers and great sides! Staff is fantastic! This is our go to place when we eat out. Highly recommend!“

“this place made me feel super immersed. I felt as if I was in the Regular Show. Which in fact was pretty sigma. I loved the service Mordecai gave me, I could hear Rigby in the back giving great management. overall impressed with the work force and I think this contributes to the success of the working class of America. Would Taco my John again!“

“Parking lot is a disaster to navigate. Designer/developer on this project during the construction phase obviously didn't do his/her homework on potential traffic flow pitfalls and probably has never eaten here to experience the nonsense firsthand....do better....... otherwise, have always had quick service and good fresh food.“

“I’m just curious if they will bring the chicken selects to this location“

“We came in late and the crew was happy to take our order, even though it was close to closing time. Quintin took our order, ensured everything was correct and we had our fresh food quickly. The food tasted great and I definitely recommend this A&W.“

“This Yesway is the best one around. The store is always clean, they always hot and ready food and the their selection is amazing but the best part about this store is the staff especially the assistant manger. Always smiling and making you feel welcome.“

“So….in 2019 was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. lost 52 pounds in less than 2 months. The cancer center cut it all out saving life. But that was 1/2 the battle. Cancer had destroyed the digestive system, couldn't eat food without getting extremely sick. 3 years after surgery, was still struggling with eating, wife suggested a radical idea. Jimmy John's. It sounds crazy, but was able to hold it down…full recovery had finally started. Jimmy John's helped with recovery. The sandwiches are always perfect. Wish them all the best for making sure every order is perfect as they understood the situation and cared far more than necessary. Thank you for life. Thanks, Katy.

How does one thank a restaurant concerned with helping one survive cancer? Will have this genetic cancer for life. Last year the Cancer returned permanently disabling, and Jimmy John’s is still unknowingly taking care. 🙏😞😎.“

“Nice service great food will come again“

“Came in with my mom. There was a guy by the name of Kyle there. From the start of getting our order, making sure we had what we needed he was very helpful my mother had dealing with some stressful things and Kyle’s kindness made her smile. She told me he’s a nice young man. The food was hot and good. I’m thankful to see guys like this working in management. I told him personally, I appreciate him.“

“This certain arbys is always friendly. Fast and good food. But as of 11/10/25. I walked in to eat inside. And the dining area was disgusting. Sticking to your shoes. Food on the floor. Sticky chairs. Trash by fountain drinks. And sticky doors. Maybe they are short on help. But usually this place is sparkling clean. And smells clean. Just not today. Maybe its new manager? I remember couple years ago a nice older lady was on her hands and knees scrubing the doors when it was only 10° outside. She said she hated to see smudged doors. Bless her heart. The place always was super clean because of her i think. But, otherwise Food was still good and service was good. Just needed major janitor work. Clorax disinfecting time. 😇 Just putting this out to maybe let staff know it was gross inside.“

“My sister& I dined there 4 days ago and the food was the best Taco Bell we BOTH ever had! Neither of us could remember a time it was better! And we've lived here all our lives! No joke! Plus, the atmosphere was cool as well! The workers were all laid back but at the same time professional! BEST TACO BELL IN TOWN!!!“

“This place made me the best baked potato of all Wendy’s stores between here and the surrounding states. I’m a vegan traveler and I know my baked potatoes and this one in Rapid City. Gave my potato the respect it deserved. Many stores Wendy’s stores make awful potatoes and I comment accordingly. But this is my favorite. Also the fries were fresh. I enjoyed it with chives and bbq sauce.“

“Their delivery service is amazing! Ive never had such quick and friendly delivery service from anyone like it in this town. Usually it takes forever or never even gets delivered. Uber Eats, Grubhub, etc. you could learn something from them.“

“Fast friendly service ! 👍🏽“

“A series of mediocre experiences had put me off of Subway for a while, but I must rave on the curly-haired young man working at this store this afternoon who made me one of the best footlongs I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Usually I save half for another day, but it was so good I had to eat it all up. Sorry I don't have a name for the gentleman, but I do have sincere thanks and am encouraged to visit this store again very soon.“
