50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Chattanooga

“Been going to Ankar's for about 12 years. Always great food, great service and priced right. Back down in the Chattanooga area today on little business trip and always great to stop by Ankar's to relax and enjoy a good tasting lunch meal. My go-to for a quick and delicious lunch in friendly atmosphere.“

“I ate at the one in hixson yesterday and threw it away it was cold and terrible. YOU ARE BY FAR THE BEST ONE YET! Great food! Thank you for fixing my lunch! I will be back!“

“Big shout out to Summer at the drive thru for spreading good vibes. As I ordered, she complimented a ring I was wearing. I shared with her I had recently lost one of my favorite rings and she said I would probably find it when I least expected to. Well, guess what? Came home and put on gloves for cleaning kitchen and my ring magically appeared inside the glove! Thanks Summer for the good vibes. You made my day!!“

“For a Chick-fil-A, it was pretty slow moving in that drive-through. The employees were good, no complaints about them or the food. I'm not even really complaining about the wait time either, as I've been in much worse. It just seemed like longer than normal and with fewer cars.“

“Food is always great.
But service is top notch!
I went there for lunch after a physical therapy session (torn ACL), I’m slow going right now, using crutches.
One of the workers came to assist with opening the door and to make sure I could get up the sidewalk ok.
On our way out, same thing happened, but with a different staff member. As I am taking a breather in the car, I notice they rushed to help an elderly lady who was struggling to get over the sidewalk, walking with a cane. They are a great family atmosphere with quality food. This location is by far my favorite five guys I’ve been to, just because of the hospitality alone.“

“From the time we got in line to getting our food, the experience was pleasant. Although there were several cars ahead of us, the wait wasn’t as long as I’d expected it to be. The lady that took our order was precise and made sure it was correct. When we got to the window, the young lady greeted us, took our payment, gave us our order, and thanked us for coming. Overall, the whole visit lasted about 10 mins, which I was very pleased with. Our food was hot and just the way we’d ordered it.“

“The employees are very nice and the drinks are great“

“Pizza and meatball sub 😍😍😍“

“"A team" Go to Chic filet and you'll see one ❤️. I marvel every time I witness what it is that they do that sets them apart in our everyday world full of chaos. They seem to have the secret sauce when it comes to, well-- everything. No, not their polonisian (but it's good!). Their intentionality, their STANDARD, their people, and their people's commitment to their standard is truly worthy of imitation. But there are few others. It's no surprise to me now WHY their line wraps around their buildings EVERYDAY. But it moves quickly! 🚗💨 Yes, their chicken is good but an "everyday" visit for lunch just doesn't have the same feel at other places -- EVERYday. Chic filet is consistent. Go! You will see agreement IN ACTION between their people and Chic filet's standard that dictates that smooth flow of service for you every time. In contrast, the spirit of our now 'severed world' dictates that people act according to their "rights". But actually "rights" must be rooted in WHAT is RIGHT because RIGHT HAS A STANDARD. Just like at Chick-fil-A a person can't just do whatever he or she FEELS is right (to them) or the flow is sure to be compromised -- for the whole team! 😔 So thank you Chick-fil-A for being such a wonderful example ❤️. Because the real team is HUMANITY which is you and me.“

“Pricey but good🤑 great employees“

“There is a manager on morning shift, that throughout time knows my order and how I want it. I order usually the same thing every morning, and it’s always delicious. Cheesy fiesta potato burrito with no tomato add creamy jalapeño sauce. This is the best Taco Bell location and shout out to the manager Karissa (hopefully that’s how you spell it.) for being the friendliest person and understanding person. She definitely deserves a raise in my book. If you want an unparalleled experience I highly recommend the Taco Bell in Hixson on 153.“

“If you go there you should get the double bacon cheeseburger“

“Sent my daughter she said they are so friendly and the shake is heavenly Delicious“

“Very friendly atmosphere and staff. The food was better than expected. I especially recommend the dirty fries. The resturaunt itself was very clean as well. The bathrooms too some of the cleanest I've ever seen. Definitely coming here again.

Parking: Plenty of parking in front and on the side of the building.“

“Limited menu. Only one size fry and drink. Medium. No chicken noodle soup. You fix your own drink. You do not pay at the Chick-fil-a counter. You pay around the corner at the checkout desk. You pay for all food items in the cafeteria at the same checkout desk. Including Subway and Chef's Corner.“

“Nestled inside a gas station hides the greatest fried chicken, gizzards, livers, and turnip greens in all of Chattanooga.

Try it at your own risk as it will ruin you for other establishments. Especially the turnip greens and cornbread muffins combined.“

“Everything you’d expect from a Wendy’s! Good food and friendly peeps.“

“They have the best hot dogs ever!“

“Looking for that “hole in the wall” place with great wings? We found it. Originally from Atlanta, we always had the best wings from a certain “shack” so after a year of being in Chattanooga, we found it! The sauces are great, and if you want well done or a little more crispy, not a problem. My wife is super picky and particular about her wings, and these she LOVED so SCORE! 4th and goal…….. TOUCHDOWN!!“

“Ah, the ol' taco bizzle. Ol' faithful. If you are into making unhealthy food choices, and like always being able to have access, this place is for you. Now in the morning, you may feel like poop, or feel like you need a massive poop.... Or even the same night you eat it,.your face may get flushed and red just from the sheer amount of sodium and preservatives... But man, is it tasty. Probably one of my favorite places to eat when I'm feeling self destructive.“

“Today's food was not good at all!! I eat here often and I'm really disappointed today!! 😤😤😤“

“Great malts and shakes and malts“

“It’s Hardee’s.. never a nice cashier but the food is always good. When a customer says thank you, say SOMETHING back. Anything. Literally all I ever get from a Hardee’s employee is.. nothing. No smile. Nothing… but it’s ok, because they have country ham and biscuit and biscuit and gravy. Both are SO GOOD.. so I’ll continue to eat breakfast at Hardee’s when I see one near me.“

“Make sure you're especially nice to military and first responders. Unlike Florida Arby's“

“Muy bueno y más las papas 🥔 yo ordene caldo de Res y estaba rico 😋“

“I had an issue with an order over the weekend. Come Monday I went to the store and explained my issues. The manager was totally understanding and helped with my order. One of the best customer service related manager. Food was great!

Parking: No issues parking.

Kid-friendliness: Facility is kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.“

“Great breakfast menu. breakfast plates are around $3“

“Sorry to have to take a star away but twice in two weeks Chick-fil-A disappointed me. Last week's mistake was really no big deal in that they left the cheese off my grilled spicy chicken deluxe. However, today's mistake was not so insignificant. Ordered my grilled spicy chicken deluxe (trying to have as many as I can before they take them off the menu). When I got home low and behold, they were the deep-fried regular chicken sandwich. Was very disappointed at this uncharacteristic mistake by Chick-fil-A. So going forward, will check my order before leaving the drive thru lane.“

“Canadian ham, bacon cheese burger. Sandwich was squashed but tasty. Almost to sweet for my taste buds. Long line but moved fairly well. Until the car in front of me changed their order at the window. Lost business as several cars behind me left.“

“The drive through lady was very nice and it caught me off guard how friendly and respectful she was. We got two $7 boxes and they forgot the chips and cheese sauce, but I called and "TeeTee" helped me and told me to come back and they would fix it. I still haven't gone back, but I'm confident they will take care of it.

Dietary restrictions: If you have diet restrictions, Taco Bell is probably not a good idea. Lol.

Kid-friendliness: If your kids like taco bell, I'm sure they will like it. If not, don't go. Simple?“

“A really good Taco Bell all around I’d say!!!!!! I really like how they have a designated area for new hires to fill out applications and whatnot! I feel like other Taco Bell’s should do the same thing. They also had cool decorations like huge taco and burrito balloons.“

“Love their food. It's simple, tasty, always hot. Wings are not soggy, flavors are varied. The fried rice is hella delicious. Fried fish always crispy. Price is reasonable. Can't miss with these guys!!!

Vegetarian options: There are vegetables, mostly fried or seasoned but maybe not a vegan type choice.

Dietary restrictions: If you have sodium, cholesterol, diabetic restrictions, I would suggest somewhere else or ask for those options. Sorry. Cause it is great food!“

“Muy bueno y más las papas 🥔 yo ordene caldo de Res y estaba rico 😋“

“The people who work there are always so nice. The Greek gyro sandwich was really good“

“Thank you Chick-fil-A Hamilton Place for great employees like Ben N who assisted in carrying gallons of sweet tea & lemonade to my car. He is the epitome of " my pleasure "“

“I ordered the 2pc breaded chicken to go . It was so pretty and flaky, I thought it was fish.
Absolutely the best tenders I have had in years, as was the hush puppies.
There was a line when I entered.
They worked it down in no time.
The workers were quite friendly.
Did I mention the food was yummy ? It was.“

“Love this location. Will go out of my way to come to this location because the employees have exemplary customer service. They always take great care of you here!! Thank you for staying open late! Things I would recommend getting here are the corn pups, fries, apple pies, and the junkyard fries!“

“Okay went through the drive through on August 24th at 3:30. Absolutely the most precious lady working the window!!!!!!! All people in the service business could take a lesson from this woman. She was just so dang nice. Thank you for being a wonderful person and employee !!!“

“The store was clean and nice. The dining room was small, but decorated for the upcoming Valentine's holiday. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was hot and fresh...but was a tad slow getting to me, but I didn't mind waiting. Will return any chance I get.“

“Do you know another fast food experience that will actually improve your mood? I only know 1 and it's the broad street t bell. Food is ALWAYS on point, staff never wastes time and i don't think I've ever seen the store a mess, which is amazing given the non-stop demand at this location. Never change.

Update on 2/26/25
Still the best tbell ever, but whoever is playing with the lobby volume knob needs to stop, it sounds like a bar in here. I can't even hear the people at my table over the very loud bad music.“

“I do not know who was on the drive-thru speaker tonight but whoever she was had her script down pat yet somehow was super personable genuine and didn't seem like she hated her job. Which typically happens at drive-thru's. After I really hard day and just wanting to grab something quick Her professionalism and personality and seemingly good mood rubbed off and also put me in a good mood. My family will be thrilled once I get home haha! There were two or three cars in front of me when I got there and I was ordered given the correct order and out of the parking lot within 5 minutes tops. That was impressive. Whoever the lady was that took my order deserves a raise a promotion and a $500 Visa gift card to buy whatever she wants she deserves it.“

“October 17th 2024, 3-3:30 PM. My family and I came in to get lunch and the cashier had an amazing personality, greeted us and over all fantastic customer service skills. When we ordered saucy nuggets for my 3 y/o niece, she wanted half one sauce and half another sauce. The manager in the kitchen at the time immediately looked up with a disgusted look and said "We don't do that, make it separate orders." Rolled her eyes and went back to work. When I asked for her name, she looked around the corner with a confrontational look on her face. GG or JJ was what I was told. I am going to make a corporate complaint about her aswell.“

“Edited review: Previously one star. People make mistakes and deserve a second chance. I was harsh, but the facts I stated were factual. 2 months later I came back in for a smashburger and this time, no pickles just like I had requested. I wish i liked pickles but I hate them and believe all pickles are created by Satan himself in the darkest part of hell. Jokes aside, they redeeemed themselves. My only regret is I forgot to tip and i always tip. I feel bad about it and I will be back. To the store manager thank you for calling me to rectify the matter.“

“Walked in to a small line, short wait. The kitchen worker was walking in from I think walking someones food to their car he was walking quickly with purpose. The food was made very quickly and was to my knowlege the best Arbys I've had in a long time. The lobby could use a wipe down but we found a clean table. Good overall experice.“

“I’ve used the drive-thru at this location a few times and I’m very satisfied with all aspects of my experience. The workers are all friendly, polite, and helpful. The food is always fresh and you can tell they take care in putting together the different dishes. I use the Wendy’s app to place my orders, which is very user friendly, and accuracy has been 100% every time. I’ll go out of my way to order at this location — a better overall experience than other locations, which aren’t bad, just this one is the best in my book.“

“Probably one of the best fast food experiences I’ve had in a long time after countless disappointments over the past few years. Restaurant is clean, all FOH staff were all friendly, food was piping hot fresh, and they even gave me extra chicken fries for my wait (which was not long at all). Keep up the great work!“

“We dined in and the whole time we were here the crew that was working was very respectful of the customers coming in leaving and through the drive through! The most respectful bunch of young individuals I have experienced at a fast food restaurant in a very very long time! Thank you to everyone working on 10/13 between 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm during our meal. You guys rock! We will definitely be back to this location. Keep up the good work !“

“We got married on April 3rd and we had 500 Krystal's and 100 wings delivered to the Coffey barn in Cleveland. I was a little nervous about if they would be warm and fresh since they were coming from Chattanooga. But I worried for nothing. They were there on time, they were professional, they set up in a timely manner and displayed them perfectly. And they were still warm and very fresh. Thank you for helping to make our day perfect. I recommend them highly for any occasion“

“This is one of my favorite dining options on campus, with its many healthy options and chicken melts coming in at under $10 with a drink. It's located right inside Lupton Hall, which makes it just a short walk away from many classrooms. That does mean a slightly longer line after a class ends, and sometimes a long wait, but overall it's a great option.“

“I stopped at this location on a roadtrip as it was close to where I was staying b/c we don't have Bojangles in CO, and I adore a bo-berry biscuit in the morning. I was helped quickly and my order was fresh when handed to me at the window. My only "complaint" really just something of note was that the speaker needs some maintenance, it is difficult to hear the person talking like bad static on a walkie talkie.“
