25 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Baxter

“The young lady at the drive thru window was absolutely terrific. She was thorough and kind. I ordered a meal for my dad and said no sour cream on the burrito. She asked about sour cream on something else that I didn't realize had it. Everything was done with a smile. The food was out quickly and exactly as ordered. This is now my go-to Taco Bell. Infinitely better than the one in Cookeville on Jackson.“

“Food was cooked and delivered just great except I didn't order from the app and last time I did it took me 10 minutes to get my food after I arrived, but it would be nice if McDonald's wouldn't pressure so much on drive thru times. I ordered in the drive thru, drive up and pay, and you are immediately sent to wait in a parking space, come on it is a drive thru not a Sonic... .... Oh and since all the spaces were full I was sent to a handicap spot to park in. Employees were great.“

“Great hospitality and great food“

“We usually have a good experience with Papa John's but our pizza tonight had toppings one one side only. I don't know how it happened.“

“don’t let the reviews fool you. I got a 6 inch spicy Italian and 3 cookies. I was served by Elizabeth and she was great very helpful although she was alone with 3 customers when we could hear other people in the back laughing 🙄 She went above and beyond for me. We need more employees like her. Shame on the other employees.“

“Just all around good . First time here . Awesome service too“

If you're in the area give them a try! Many thanks Cookville Chick fil A!“

“I know Hardee's in New Ulm MN has had some issues, but I went there today and was more than impressed! there were at least four people working there and they were so friendly and the food came really fast. it was fresh and hot and delicious! I can't wait to go there again, it looks like they have really pulled it together!“

“Fast,excellent service best burgers in town!“

“The food was absolutely amazing. The service was great. They were cheerful. The vibe was just very authentic. It was real, but it was not bad. It was the real that you get from going out on a walk We on a sunny day.. They seem like they enjoy their job and was not putting on a show. It was very real. Di“

“Food was really good, staff was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere was nice and quite but a few tables could of been cleaned up after they were used by other customers. I'm sure it was because we went there during/after the Sunday lunch rush and I'm sure they are understaffed just like many other food places in our area.. Overall, I give them a great 4 ⭐ which is an excellent rating in my opinion.

Parking: Lots of parking available.“

“When I heard about them using tallow, I had to try it out for the first time. Since then, they are my default quick stop for clean food in Cookeville. Burgers are great, fry's are great. Service is wonderful. Never had a problem with any order.“

“Stopped in this evening for quick bite. Gotta say, the honey BBQ chicken strip basket was really good. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Restaurant was clean and bathrooms as well. Got New York cheesecake blizzard for the ride home. Also got like 274 points by using the DQ reward program for the next visit. Thanx Ya'll.“

“This is honestly a really good Taco Bell! The food the last few years has always been hot juicy, honestly just perfect! They do not skimp on the portions! I hope they keep it up! Because let's be honest, some Taco bells you would think lose money on their checks for making sure the customer gets a decent portion!“

“The food is always great and we love going to the play room. Always clean and nice. I miss the old crew. accidently spilled a drink and cashier preceded to ask me why and declare that she doesnt get paid enough to clean up after me. Rude.“

“Firehouse Subs are the best in my opinion. The meat.and ingredients mesh together so well. The bread is fresh. They give you generous amounts of fresh meat slices as well as the veggies. The sauce compliments the ingredients and brings out the flavor. Always a special treat when we are in town.“

“Our food is always hot and fresh. The employees are always friendly and helpful. We usually go through the drive thru and have never had any issues with an incorrect order. I wish they would better mark which burrito is which when we order as my family orders a variety of items but I understand they are busy and doing their best. Overall, they are wonderful! Thank you!“
