50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Chattanooga

“Best steak in a sack ever! This place has been a staple for Chattanooga since the 80’s and it still turns out amazing food. Great hamburgers, sandwiches and superb onion rings- you can’t go wrong at the original Ankar’s on Brainerd Road!“

“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!“

“Edit: the fries have now been consistently good (& fresh!!) so I changed my review from a 1 star to a 5 star. Thank you Chick Fil A (:

Giving a 1 star review in hopes they see this.
They're always super nice and the food is always good, except for the fries!

The fries have tasted nasty the last three times I've gotten them. I've looked at them and they're not burnt, and I don't see a green tint on them, but they taste old and very earthy. I don't know if they just got a bad batch of potatoes in or what but I haven't been able to eat my fries for these past few times“

“It was great I had the best lunch date“

“I come here at least two times a week and every time it is a good time! This is my favorite Chick-fil-A and I have one closer to me. That should say something. Way to go Chick-fil-A crew.“

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

“"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.“

“coffee drinks on point, taste great. Lotus drink amazing pick me u very flavorful.“

“So please with this restaurant! Were not planning to go, but went at last minute because we had to be downtown delayed for an hour…The food is delicious and the service is wonderful….fast, yet tasty and special! The guys running the place are super and make you feel at home…
Cool vibes inside the restaurant and fun to go because Shaq is the endorser, and it sits on the main downtown street of Chatt!“

“Pricey but good🤑 great employees“

“Food was good hot and freshly made no issues, unfortunately this time a family came in and was vaping and made the whole place smell bad We couldn't hardly breathe around it so we had to leave before we finished our meal, this location doesn't have any no smoking or vaping signs on the entry, so we didn't feel like we could mention it to the workers.“

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

“I’ve always loved this place and until now I’ve never had any issues at all. But this is my second review because the experience at the 3rd Street location has really been disappointing. I waited about 10 minutes for them to confirm a DoorDash order and ended up having to cancel it. They rarely answer the phone, and when you go inside they seem to get an attitude, especially with larger orders, even though they’re not the ones cooking. It’s frustrating enough that I’d rather go to the Brainerd location or try another wing spot from now on.“

“Pizza and meatball sub 😍😍😍“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

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

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

“The customer’s were so loud and people walking back and fourth,I felt I was in someone's way the whole time I was in there. We were next in line and stood there for nearly 10 mins wait for our order to be taken. Management was awesome tho. They were pretty busy.“

“I have to say this is my favorite taco bell. I go out of my way to avoid a closer one to go to this location. My food is always hot and made correctly.
Last night, Arthur was amazing with taking my order and his customer service skills are top tier!“

“They have the best hot dogs ever!“

“Great malts and shakes and malts“

“What’s up Red Bank Hardee’s? I usually am doing these when it’s bad but today it’s awesome! From the drive thru cashier to the quality of the food I’m so very impressed! It was hot and fast! Thank you and just wanted to say how incredibly awesome you all were today!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This location has 2 ladies that work the front of house and grill that make this place the best Krystal location in town. The store is clean, the service is with real effort and the food is perfect. When a Krystal burger is cooked right, it's like cotton candy, it melts in your mouth. Love these 2 ladies. Been coming here for years.“

“I usually only stop here on a work commute. So I am usually in a rush. And food is always made quickly. People are really nice. It's always clean inside. And the food is good if you like Taco Bell. One of the best Taco Bells I've been.“

“I had such a great experience at this Chick-fil-A thanks to Macie! Even while braving the rush outside, she kept the energy high and brought such a fun vibe to the line. She’s not only friendly and attentive, but she’s genuinely funny, and her sense of humor made waiting in the drive-thru surprisingly enjoyable.

When she brought my food to the car, she double checked everything with a smile and threw in a quik joke that had me laughing as I pulled away, and I don't even remember what it was! It’s rare to see someone handle a busy drive-thru with that level of positivity, personality, and efficiency.

I will def be going back again!“

“Please forgive the 4 stars.. normally I'd be happy to give 5 for jacks.. and it has nothing to do with this location, but more so the fact that chicken nuggets are no longer an option.. I thought it was thr greatest thing and they were SOOO GOOD.. but someone's brilliant ideas to get rid of them is very frustrating.. now I have to find a new place to get them.. please bring them back so I can come again, otherwise I habe no reason to come back.. side note..the was a very nice lady working drive thru, didnt catch a name but she has a sling and cash or something on her right arm.. she was great, and very friendly..“

“This place is great! my fiance and i are addicted! They have the biggest wings of any wing spot like them. and the cheapest prices as well! Please keep doing great! If they had a bathroom inside that would be even better but i can forgive them because the food is so good!“

“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.“

“Been a long time since I have eaten there. New crew, much better experience. I have enjoyed the food and feel is is a good value for the money. I have visted 3times in the last month and am very happy with everything! Remember, a place is only as good as their worst employee! I'm glad they have a great team now!!“

“My sister and I stopped for a bite to eat on our way home from work. Usually the customer service is subpar at best but this day, it was excellent. From the time we pulled up until we got our food and left, the service was great. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve had a wonderful experience at this location. Id stopped visiting because of the poor customer service but I’m happy to say that I will be back.“

“It's a Chic-fil-a! In the mall!!! The last of the restaurants actually in the mall, not on the outskirts.....Food is always good and out to you promptly just like the standalone versions. Service is always with a smile and "my pleasure". Sweet tea will always be my go to with a Number one on a whole wheat bun with Xtra pickles. What do I miss most??? Carrot raisin salad!!!!

Kid-friendliness: Always room for kids

Parking: It's at the mall

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, its inside the mall“

“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 have never left a review for a fast food place but feel passionate that this is infact the best sonic in chattanooga. I have been to this location so many times and genuinely can’t think of a time they messed up my order once. Food always hits the mark, never a long wait with mobile orders, and the employees are always so nice! I will personally always drive the extra minutes out of the way to go to this specific sonic. 10/10 no complaints.“

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

“Haleigh did an amazing job creating protein bowls for my wife and I. She was very pleasant to interact with and commented that she prepared the food just like she would for herself. The restaurant was super clean and inviting. We highly recommend Haleigh for her great food prep and warm personality!“

“This is a good, solid Arby's! I placed an online order and went to pick it up through the drive-thru. When I arrived, the gentlemen on the speaker was very nice and immediately had me pull around. My food was already ready and he handed it me in a sealed up bag with my receipt and straw attached to it as well. Again, the guy was very nice.

I got the new turkey gobbler sandwich and honestly it was pretty good! I think it was just a touch on the smaller side and maybe missing something (Firehouse offers a gravy with their Thanksgiving sub, maybe that would be good), especially when considering the price which seemed just a tad high. My potato cakes were hot, fresh, and crispy. I did also get the new apple pie shake (which affected my price), but let me just tell you - that shake IS THE TRUTH! The perfect, delectable blend of creamy, apple-y, cinnamon-y goodness all partying together in a frozen treat. I highly recommend the shake.

All in all - good food (with a GREAT SHAKE), quick and friendly service, decent value, this worked great for lunch.“

“This Sonic is my go to place for when I want some chili cheese tots. The only issue they have looks like is staffing. I went by around 9:45 am on a Sunday and the guy who was running the drive thru also was car hopping as well. This guy was doing great so no knock on him or the staff that was working. Hopefully they will be able to hire more people.“

“Great Arby's! The crew has some actual Employee Of The Month titles and the new management has really made sure things are done right. The restaurant is clean and the atmosphere is enjoyable, I enjoy the Chive tv funny videos they show too.
This is a great place to stop and power up, I love the Jamocha shakes too!“

“Sub like no other!!! everything is cut fresh in front of you...“

“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.“

“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.“

“I rarely give out a 5 stars but I just had to for this location! The food was amazing and was ready very quickly and the staff were so very nice and the dining area was very clean and orderly. Only thing that I could remotely complain about is there where no sun shades for the windows but truly isn't a big thing. Been a long while I've had a positive experience at a Captain D's but I reckon I just had to find the right one to go to.“

“Friendly people most time clean“
