50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Knoxville

“We visited for the first time today and had amazing food. We had the most helpful and friendly service! This place is so gooood! We will be back to try more soon. 10/10“

“The food is amazing! & pricing too.“

“We showed up unaware that it was 1 minute before closing due to the place being full of customers. The GM said with a smile, he would be more than happy to take our orders. After ordering, the employees began moving like a well practiced team. They were supporting eachother in every way to ensure the correctness and promptness of our order. The Gm engaged my wife and I in conversation as he began cleaning and rearranging the service counter with information on other locations as well as the companies history. In a few brief moments he was directing us to the pick up counter where we were greeted by another smiling team member helping us to pick condiments and suggestions of the favorites. It was an overall outstanding first visit to this professional, polite, fast, clean and curteous restaraunt. Once home, the food was equal to the service we recieved at the Seymour Freddies, fresh and full of flavor! Thank you staff for a great and memorable experience. Highly reccomended!“

“we got the beef shawarma and it was AMAZING. the sauce he gave us with it was similar to tatziki but im not sure what it was. we didnt have enough money at first and he offered to let us eat now and pay later, and he even gave us free waters with our order. coolest guy ever and the food was bomb asf 10/10.“

“I decided to pick up some burgers from Denton’s this evening and bring I am SO GLAD I did!!! Aaron greeted me immediately upon entering the restaurant and was so friendly and accommodating! He ensured my order was accurate and even complimented my shirt!! Top Level Customer Service, an accurate order, and DELICIOUS food won my business over and I cannot wait until my next Denton’s experience! Thank you Aaron!!“

“This is the most delicious Chick-fil-A I've ever been to please don't change anything keep everything the way it is, whatever employees you got whatever management you got however your operating keep it the same you're doing everything perfectly if I could give you a million stars I would q“

“We're visiting from Georgia for youth soccer vs. Knoxville. Rosati's is right next to our hotel. I'm admittedly a PIZZA SNOB and won't eat mass-produced big chain pizza... even if it's offered for free. Life is too short to eat bad pizza. I was pleasantly surprised by Rosati's!!! I ordered a 12" Thin Crust with sausage and mushroom. It was DELICIOUS. The Crust was slightly charred and crunchy. It had ample quality cheese, and the sauce was unique, not your basic plain red. It was actually seasoned well. I could taste basil and oregano. The tasty sausage was big chunk, which I prefer over crumbled. The owner checked on my take out order a couple of times and was very friendly. There are several tables for dine in. The atmosphere is cozy and clean. I highly recommend this pizzeria ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Great burgers best burgers“

“The food here is amazing, the fish in the battered chicken both are absolutely delicious, this is probably the best chicken I've ever ate, they cook it just right it is so tender and so juicy I absolutely love it!!! Keep up the good work!!!“

“First off customer service amazing, chill environment, and friendly.. was served with an item missing and the lady knew immediately upon looking at me and fixed it without question. Everything we ordered tasted amazing and great quality for the price and I cannot express how fast we got our food after placing the order highly recommend the hot dog with bbq add cole slaw 🤌🤌 chicken tenders were tasty also!! But everything was pretty good overall definitely coming back.“

“Always fast and friendly. Cars could be lined around the building but never do you have to wait more than 3-4 min. Why is this so hard for all other fast food/drive-thru restaurants to accomplish??? Obviously it can be done because EVERY Chick-fil-A I have ever visited, and I travel for work every single day so that's a lot of different ones, always get you your food in no time. All the big names in fast food need to apparently come to be trained at Chick-fil-A.“

“Amazing food. I'm curious as to what the worst Chick-fil-A is, as I've never had bad service and the food has never been as bad as the best McDonald's I've had. Would recommend the spicy chicken sandwich with zesty buffalo.“

“Jimmy and his crew at Parkside Dr. In Turkey Creek was fantastic: a nice change from a day of poor service at other businesses today. Efficient, personable, and kind. Well done team! Thank you, all.“

“I've haven't had any concerns as of recent, and I've been coming to this CFA for 5 years now. I almost always use the drive thru, but the workers are always kind. I highly recommend ordering ahead on the app (even if you've just pulled in). They'll have your food ready much faster, and there's almost a certainty that your order will be correct.“

“We had a great experience at this Chick fil a while traveling through Knoxville. Both Dawn & Sierra went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied with our meal. They helped us clean up when our kids spilled milk. It was a relief to get such helpful service!“

“Very good burger. Great toppings. Fries were good too“

“Food is OK but still good overall. Staff is nice but honestly sometimes when I've gone, I'm given the vibe that they don't really want to be there. This is also a smaller DQ than most others I've been too and it feels a bit sterile inside.“

“Very friendly staff. Great food and always a smiling face to great you when you walk in the door.“

“Always enjoy the speeding of this location!

Vegetarian options: N/A

Parking: The parking area is kinda small.

Kid-friendliness: Great kid options!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Such great food for fast food. Much cheaper than McDonald's and much tastier! Love the variety of milkshack flavors. All of the employees were super and in great moods. The positivity was catching!

Dietary restrictions: Peanuts are used in the facility so you may want to stay clear if you have peanuts!“

“We just served our Holston Middle school staff Fazoli’s for their staff lunch and they did an amazing job! Food and service was excellent, this is definitely a go-to in the future for other lunches. Thank you!!“

“I recently ordered a chicken quesadilla, and I was really disappointed with its quality. As shown in the attached photos, the quesadilla appeared to be pre-made rather than freshly prepared. The texture was soggy and almost watered down, and the filling lacked any noticeable freshness or flavor that you’d expect from something made to order.

Not only was the appearance unappetizing, but the overall experience felt more like a reheated frozen item than something made fresh.

I visit this location often and it’s always a hit or miss with the chicken quesadillas but i’m always pleased with their staff, wait time, and other food.“

“This location is probably the worst one in town. My egg white grill muffin was completely burnt this morning and my fruit cup was about 1/3 of the way full. Just pitiful and pathetic given the amount of money I spend there. I normally go to the one at West Town (always perfect) but I was running behind and this one is closer to my daycare. Save your money and pick a different location.“

“The double 1/4# with cheese is always fresh now they make them when you order them. In the past they would be stale from sitting under a heat lamp. Sometimes, it takes a minute but fresh is best for me. Cust service people were friendly and smiled.“

“It’s really good 😌 I would go to this place if I was you“

“This has been my second time eating there and both time I have found that all around the staff and the pizza is both awesome if you are a fan of the thinner style crust and have never got to experience blaze pizza I highly recommend it today during my visit the staff definitely showed a positive upbeat attitude while being pressed on back to back orders from a fairly large amount of customers all coming in at once definitely gonna be one of my go to spots for fast good quality tasting pizza with a staff that would honestly make anyone fill like part of a actual team and to top it off if you are into arcade and just want a fun exciting day out with the family this is truly the perfect place for pizza and within walking distance main event arcade is right around the corner so what's better than pizza and games if you haven't checked them out don't miss the opertunity if finding yourself in the area keep working hard and providing great customer services very pleased“

“I don't do taco bell usually because they either mess up the order, the place is dirty, or that staff are unprofessional, however I will be going here anytime I want taco bell! The staff was very professional and welcoming, the food was awesome, and the building was spotless!“

“We stopped by the Captain D’s on Kingston Pike yesterday while shopping & was the worst experience we’ve ever had. First, my husband ordered the meal with the 24 fried shrimp & fish; he counted 8; he also ordered the butterfly shrimp add-on which would expect to be on the plate & since it came in a box,“

“basically the best taco bell ever pretty much. literally can't get better taco bell anywhere else. also the service is impeccable

Vegetarian options: can make almost any item vegetarian by substituting the beef to beans, potatoes, or rice for no extra charge.

Dietary restrictions: can make items "fresco" for those who don't eat dairy, it substitutes dairy items for pico de gallo.“

“Bojangles was probably one of the best chicken places I've ate at. It was the first time I've ever ate there and I was quite surprised at the chicken and the fries they were so good and the blueberry biscuits we're very good. If you get a chance to stop in there to eat please do“

“Always good, every location! We’ve visited FG Burgers from Nashville to Gatlinburg, and we’re never disappointed. Visited the Town Center location again today, and had another great experience. The staff at this location is particularly friendly and helpful. Thanks!“

“Had the opportunity to eat here this week. Food was great. Y’all gotta get some of those onion rings. Soooo good. Friendly service too.“

“Delicious and healthy Yum“

“biggie bag. $5 good food 😋“

“the taco truck in lomira was the best tacos around I can't wait to try there sit down and see what they offer!“

“Ordered some shakes and the Chicken Bacon ranch fries. It was during their happy hour time, but the cashier didn't ring up the shakes at the happy hour price. They fixed it eventually. The chicken bacon ranch fries are good, but their cheese sauce has changed and was not as good. Leave it off next time.

Dietary restrictions: Hardly anything is gluten free there.“

“The New General Manager is amazing !!!!! This is the cleanest restaurant I have ever been to. I am so happy to see a general manager that cares about there store , and guest . She always greets us with a smile when we walk in. Please keep Arakara around!!!!!!“

“Best tacos in Knoxville by a long shot! The blue corn tortillas are made by hand in the truck! Serving size is ridiculously large. Chorizo con nopales and asada are the two best tacos, in my opinion. Her mole is amazing as well. My husband now refers to her as his "taco lady" and will drive 20 minutes to get her food. Try it! You will not regret it.“

“Arby’s in our area consistently outshines its competition, and I can’t quite put my finger on why. The food is better, and the staff is always friendly and attentive.

We recently visited this particular location for a quick dinner and were pleasantly surprised. While meeting expectations is becoming increasingly challenging, this location exceeded them. The General Manager, Angel, is like the others—always there when I dine and incredibly friendly.

On one occasion, I ordered something incorrectly and promptly noticed the mistake. Angel graciously replaced it without any fuss. Another time, I ordered a milkshake and, for no apparent reason, they simply gave it to me.

Despite the numerous fast-food options nearby, Arby’s remains my top choice. They are always clean, police their area unlike so
many other places nearby, and Angel and her team are truly exceptional, and I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a great dining experience.“

“Absolutely the best tacobell in knoxville, not even a challenge for these other taco bell’s, everytime i go here i am greeted by 2 of the same people each time, 2 younger males they have the sweetest smile each time! The food is always on point and i never have a issue. DEFINITELY recommend this tacobell. I usually go around 6-8pm and am served very well. The new and improved dining room is great, big room and comfortable quiet eating space.“

“The food was excellent, it was hot, looked like the menu picture and really hit the spot. The service was wonderful, super friendly staff. I will definitely be coming again when in the area. Expert tip, download the Arby's app ahead of time you get some amazing deals!

Parking: Very large parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Tons of kid friendly options and kids menu“

“I have visited this location several times and i'm always very pleased with the quality of my food. It's consistently good which is a rare quality that most restaurants do NOT possess anymore. One night, about a month or so ago, I visited this location and I had the pleasure of chatting with the assistant manager who was operating the drive-thru that particular evening. She is so warm and inviting! I know that she is definitely a HUGE reason as to why this restaurant is so successful!“

“The Firehouse Steak & Cheese.. white bread, all the fixins.. hold tha shrooms. extra cheese with some vinegar & oil love... PERFECTION!“

“Usually I get at least 4 star food, this time I got a country ham biscuits that was about 1/2 inch thick including the ham. Evidently bad biscuit maker on Friday and Noone was doing quality assurance. I will still frequent Bojangles for breakfast. Usually the best buscuits.“

“Always good, great service, nice attendee's

Dietary restrictions: I have Celiac. I'm so thankful I can eat sandwiches here because you offer the GF bun. I'm also grateful that you offer grilled ck nuggets. I can also eat them“

“My wife and I absolutely love this place! Food is always fresh and flavorful. I ordered the create-a-wok with kung pao chicken, veggies, and brown rice. The portion sizes and price are great as well. We also love how clean the restaurant is. Most of the time when you go to restaurants these days there always crumbs or something still on the table or seat, not here. It’s always spotless.“

“I like Arby's and stop at the Magnolia Avenue location in Knoxville, TN quite often. The employees are usually nice, but this afternoon a girl actually yelled at me in the drive thru because I asked for one more container of marinara sauce for for my cheese sticks. I asked for 2 and she had given me one. She YELLED at me that she had already put 4 or 5 "marinara sauces" in the bag, which she did not but that's not even the point. She blatantly refused to give me, a paying customer, one more container of sauce. Just ridiculously unbelievable. I threatened to go inside and talk to management, and she gave me the sauce. I told her she needed to learn some serious customer service skills. Hopefully this damaged young girl will manage to work on herself because with such a horrible attitude and disposition, she will never even be successful at a drive thru window. I would say I'll never go back to that location, but I'm pretty sure she won't be there long. She definitely doesn't need to be representing Arby's.“

“i love cook out burger🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳“

“This Burger King is amazing the food and drinks are amazing and hot and fresh and I love how crispy and hot the fries are!Rachel is awesome she helped me with a problem I had with the app(my fault)!Also try the birthday cake slice pie is pretty good!:)“

“Fire house subs are fire 🔥“
