25 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Mt Carmel

“This little family owned greasy spoon is a local treasure. Excellent ice cream treats and good quality freshly made menu items. Typical of a classic mid-century drive-in the relaxed atmosphere is like a walk back in time. Make no mistake-you will not leave there with an empty stomach. The ladies at the counter are always friendly and helpful. They are patient with small kids that can't decide their ice-cream fate. Great variety. Ask about their Hamburger Steak specials.“

“We had an online order a little over a week ago and we were short a few pieces of chicken tenders, so I called the Mount Carmel, TN store and I asked for the manager. The manager, Preston Williams came on the phone and I explained that we were short a few pieces of the chicken and he was very nice and apologized for the inconvenience and said that he would like to make it right and said that he would like to give me free of charge more chicken and I said thank you that would be great. We went back last night and he was there and I told him who I was and he was very nice and said he would make us our chicken. Well we were eating our food that we had ordered and he brings us our fresh made chicken and again apologized and asked if everything was okay, it was great. The people at this Hardee's are really sweet people from the counter person to the manager. The place was very clean also. We will definitely be back in to eat and say hello. Thanks Hardee's.“

“Vegetables were fresh and the bread was still warm. Lady behind the counter was very friendly and respectful. I really like how clean it is. Nothing I hate more than seeing areas that are unclean. I always wonder if it's visibly unclean what is it like where you CAN'T see. I'll be getting sandwiches on the regular from this store.“

“try not to tell too many people, it's hard enough to get a double big pal.“

“I've ate burgers in different chains all across America and in other countries as well. No one comes close to the Big Pal. It always has been and always will be the best burger you can eat. The only caveat is, make sure you order it with pickles (once you try it, you can never get it without them).“

“Best club sandwich. Thing was a beast. Substituted tomato with onion and any other restaurant will give you like 3 strands of onion, they give me 2 full slices each layer and it was phenomenal. Thick cut bacon on each layer etc. Annoyed that I've lived in Gate city for years and never bothered to stop in until the other day. And the home fries with seasoned salt in jars at the table topped off the perfection. Will definitely be returning.“

“It was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Their food was really good my best friend Michala works there too! :)“

“This is my favorite Pal's location, and I always stop in when I'm in Kingsport. You cannot beat the fast, friendly service or the delicious food. There is plenty of covered seating on picnic benches between the restaurant and the Pal's mural. Be sure to get the cheddar rounds if you go for breakfast.“

“Way back in 1970’s ATL , a friend told Mr.Cathy: we have to drive all the way to
Hapeville to get a decent chicken sandwich! That’s about an hour drive , before 285 was built and we were in North Sandy springs! Perimeter mall has a NEW Chick Fil -A store wow! From then on I was hooked. 50 years later, I’m back in the south , so happy to find you here? In TN.❤️🩷💛“

Someone is doing a great job of employing such delightful employees. Never a disappointment with how the food is prepared. Always accurate. Very good and appealing food. Thanks for being there.“

“Everyone was really friendly, store was very clean and best of all the blast from the past Peg Legs, batter dipped chicken wings (Testing) were crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Like a old friend from my childhood I had forgot existed. Hope they make it back to all stores.“

“I wasn't really a fan of Arby's UNTIL I took my wife to this location, been a regular stop ever since. Today's experience was exceptional, place was packed and this team was efficient and accurate, like always but with constant flow dinning in and drive through packed they worked like a well oiled machine! Very impressive and food was perfect. Thanks to the entire staff. Great Job!“

“Genuinely the best service from any Arby's I've ever been to. I don't know how they managed to find such talented, intelligent and kind employees. Food is fresh and everyone there actually seems to like their job, so rare in today's world.“

“Best service!!!! Affordable for families💕“

“Yes it's fast food fried fish, but we have made this a stop for the past three years during ball tournaments since most of the LJS locations are closed back home. The place has always been clean when we visit and the staff always friendly. You don't find that at many locations anymore.“

“I go here literally all the time they know me by my name and order. Staff is incredibly friendly and the food is usually pretty good! Only downside is sometimes they are very busy so it can be a pain to wait, but otherwise I love this place.“

“The most spectacular team and top level service. Seriously blown away at how consistently excellent these folks are. I do not eat at Jersey Mike’s outside of this location if at all possible. Because that’s how good they are. Thank you very much to the staff!“

“I stopped by Burger King this morning through the drive-thru for a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit and some French toast sticks, and it was a great start to the day. The food was exactly what I hoped—hot, fresh, and satisfying.

What really makes this location stand out is the morning manager—they’re absolutely the best part of the early morning experience. Friendly, efficient, and welcoming, they make the drive-thru run smoothly and put a smile on your face before your first cup of coffee.

If you’re looking for a quick breakfast with excellent service, this Burger King is definitely worth a stop.“

“I was so happy about the Taco Bell when I moved to Gate City. Coming from Jacksonville, Florida. I'm used to the Taco Bell employees punching my taco before they hand it to me. And it can be kind of frustrating knowing that whole damn crew smokes weed but not a single one of them can roll a f'ing burrito. 🙄 But the one here is awesome! A whole year and I haven't got a single messed up order or a taco that was beat to shit. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is. Thank you! You guys are the shit! 💙👊🏻“
