15 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Columbia

“Awesome people great chicken
I have been trying to figure out how to abscond with some of their employees but then they probably wouldn’t let me eat there anymore so I will just have to be happy with great food and friendly people. Keep up the great work“

“The service was exceptional, the presentation. The optics in the facility were four and five stars. The food was great minus one little tweak that could be made and that would be the rice in my burritos Weore a tad bit undercooked and stiff. Other than that, I was very placed.“

“Food is fresh. I want to shout out their staff who have demonstrated good, friendly customer service on all my visits here over the past 3-4 years. A lot of workers in fast food don't even greet you in any way, just sling your food to you. Kudos to this location!!!!“

“I rolled through today to get something quick since I had time to kill while my daughter was at cheer. Glad I stopped in. The person taking my order was very pleasant and the young lady who brought it out was kind and thorough. She confirmed my order verbally to make sure everything was what I ordered, and asked if there was anything else I needed before going back.

I start to dig I to the bag and notice the burger is wrapped perfectly, not rushed through or tossed in the bag either. The fries were perfectly upright, hot and crisp. The burger itself was prepared with the same care. It wasn’t some pile called a burger and some big mess just wrapped up. You can tell someone took just a few extra seconds to actually construct and place everything evenly.

It sounds silly that something so small can be so important but as most have noticed, things aren’t what they used to be and many of us are used to sloppy presentation and services these days. Today was absolutely not the case and I had to let y’all know to please keep it up. Thanks!“

“Don’t let the construction dissuade you. This Arby’s is kicking it! I was greeted when i entered and my order was taken promptly and Mia kept me apprised of my potato cake’s progress. I was out the door quickly as she wished me “safe travels “. Stellar performance!“

“Best cheesesteak sub I've found in TN. The staff were awesome! Will definitely go back.“

“Morning manager was very professional, caring, and kind. The food was very good. And the wait wasn’t long at all.

Parking: Lots of parking & free parking at that.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessibility“

“Ryan at this store done an OUTSTANDING job preparing our order of 30 pizzas and 8 orders of dessert sticks. He was very polite and helpful and the food was done right at the time we needed them . He for sure deserves a 10 star review ! Thank you so much Ryan - we had a GREAT experience !!! You Rock at your job !!“

“Ricky was such a sweet young gentleman. So nice! The lady manager and all the rest of the staff even the cooks in the back were smiling. It's unusual you see the whole place happy. I'm from Alabama and will remember to come back to this Hardees when I'm back here again.It was 9:30 in the morning on Oct 13th 2024. They all need a special something. Made my morning to see so many smiling faces.Thank you!“

“Sadly, the food prices have gone up while quality is going down. Service is spotty lately. My most recent experience was through the drive-through. Young fellow had his mic turned up to the top of his head.
The burger meat was obviously precooked and then assembled with cold cheese, etc. The frys were as stale as I've ever had . No, I didn't go back or call. I'm going for fast for a reason. I don't have time to go back for what should be perfect to begin with. This has been a common experience at many locations lately, causing me to avoid what used to be Tammy to go to fast food.“

“great food, excellent service. I had the new Zaxville Hot chicken sandwich. very good. Ironically, 3 years ago today I was eating Zaxby's also.“

“I take my sauce seriously, asked for a solid handful. The gentleman responded “I got you”, me being let down in the past didn’t expect him to understand the assignment. Not only did he understand the assignment he excelled at it. I don’t know what him and his counter part make in a week but their boss needs to put a one and a zero in front of it. Sauce boss out“

“I just wanted to say that Harley is awesome car hop, the absolute best. she's super nice and very thoughtful asked me how my weekend was when she was wasn't car hoping just walking by. very, very thoughtful and kind.🙂👍👍“
