50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Nashville

“This spot right here might be the biggest gem. Idk if it’s a hidden gem, cause I’m not from Nashville but the food here is absolutely 🔥 💯“

“5 STARS for everything, AMAZING food, great people, great service!!! The Salmon, the Angus Burgers!!!“

“Amazing gyros!!! This place is a must have on every Nashville trip of ours!! Family friendly staff and all I can say is YUM!“

“This is my favorite fast food hamburger. It tastes like something that you would cook at home and they put a lot care into the preparation. The fries really stand out because they are made fresh instead of using frozen. The chicken sandwich is my favorite thing on the menu. It is a fried chicken breast on a bun. The breading is delicious and somehow they manage to keep the chicken from drying out.“

“WOW. Food fantastic. Each order for me equals two if not all three meals for the day.However, the 6 am commute suggests an earlier business opportunity. Trial period perhaps“

“The chicken was tender and juicy. The dip was absolutely delectable and flavorful. We took the basic box and the portions were enough for 2 people per box. Spacious seating area upstairs with vibing decor, but could be better with a little less noise.“

“Great place when in the area“

“Excellent cheeseburger and fresh cut fries. Will definitely return.“

“We had chick-fil-a at our wedding and they exceeded our expectations!“

“Great burgers! Every bite was amazing, well seasoned and juicy🤤🤤“

“I tried music city gyros for the first time today and will be back every chance I can! The service was excellent and fast! The gyros-simply the best I’ve ever ate in my life! And there’s so much food I will be eating on this for a few meals. And the baklava is amazing as well!“

“My experience was awesome here! I visited Chick-fil-A with my high school HOSA club group when out on a field trip! When getting there, I was thinking that it would take a while for everyone to get their food and get situated! Little did I know, all staff was on point and got everyone’s food out within 10 mins or even less! I want to thank everyone who contributed to making our end of the field trip very special!“

“Absolutely delicious, I will for sure be coming back. I just moved to Nashville and have been looking for my new favorite taqueria spot, and have found it! I got to talk to the owner and it’s a woman owned place, which helps explain why the food is so good.“

“We stopped by in September to get a cake for our friends birthday and had really amazing customer service from the staff who helped us cut and serve the cake. Friendly, affordable and delicious!“

“This is a standard Chick-fil-A that ISN'T TOO CROWDED. They have curbside pick up. It's hard to turn left out of the parking lot onto Charlotte Pike. If you need to head toward downtown Nashville, driving through the parking lot and exit with the light. THEY EVEN HAVE THE OLD STEIRFOAM CUPS!!!!! It's my pleasure to bring you this information.“

“I tried Raising Cane’s and I kind of get the hype now.

It’s super simple—chicken fingers, fries, toast, sauce—and somehow that’s enough. Nothing fancy, nothing trying too hard. Just really solid, every single time. And that sauce? Yeah… I’m in.

It actually reminds me of those inground trampolines. Not the big clunky ones sticking out in the yard—these are clean, built in, and just work. You don’t think much about it until you step on it, and then it’s like… oh this is fun.

That’s Cane’s. Not flashy, not complicated, but it delivers exactly what you expect. Every time.

Would I go there for a big night out? No.
Will I randomly crave it and go back? Absolutely.“

“The food is fresh and delicious 😋“

“Always a good experience!“

“I went there to have lunch and get me the small ice cream birthday cake, for my birthday.“

“Pretzels were quick, very warm, tasted great, and were cooked quite well. They were a little gooey on the inside and flaky on the outside. The manager was also very nice. I told her I was vegetarian and she made sure to accommodate that and get rid of cross-contamination. They also make it in front of you which is cool.“

“I just left from captain d's on Jefferson street.. Got to the window for my order and the lady did not give add my sweet tea. Instead of giving me a sweet tea she told me i needed drive back around and order another sweet tea in the back of the line for a mistake that she made. What kind of mess is that??? she was a short skinny black lady with glasses and a wig. I want my tea.“

“Good burger, just wish they had better choice to customize.“

“I went there around midnigh the 8 of july to order a sub and a médium half veggie and half philly. Arriving at my motel i was surprised too see they where no sauce in the sub, in Canada majority does but the difference between this sub with no sauce compared to 1 place in Canada that sell with no sauce is that the Basilico was actualy very good, as for the pizza, the veggie side i really liked but the phily side bof! And it came with 2 small cups of differents sauce witch i never seen that in my country. As for the man that took care of my order, he was very nice, professionel and kind, sadly i do not know his name, wish i did so i could writr his name because too often pepol bash bad worker but very few praise good worker and he was 1 of the nicest united-statien that i have meet. So i strongly recomment pepol to order there and honestly if i was living neart there for sure i would have order more often. To all the reader i wish you a good day & une belle vie!“

“I was at this location when a man who was homeless walked in with a handful of change getting ready to order a small amount of food. The cashier, Ariel, told him to stop and put his change back in his pocket. She then added a small burger, fries, and a milkshake to her own tab. She continued to assist him by reminding him to keep his change and belongings in his pocket. She delivered him his burger and he sat there without worry and enjoyed his meal. This was one of the kindest things I’ve seen in a very long time and I’m so grateful to have been able to witness Ariel and her kindness.“

“My Server Was Great Went Above And Beyond Call Of Deputy The Best Pizza Hut Around The Nashville Area.“

“Everyone needs to come and try this place out. Great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Extremely fast and very friendly. Very obvious that it’s not a big corporate company. They treat you like family, always excellent and warm service. Highly recommend to Nashville natives and tourists.“

“I love this place. 💜 🌭 !!“

“awesome food and service😊“

“Nick and Luke was amazing I ordered off DoorDash can came in to pick up my food they did inform that they was out of tomato’s and offered me a 10 dollar gift card I never eat here alot but every time it’s a great experience“

“People there are so nice“

“Food was delicious as always. Service in a timely manner. But they need to button up in the manners department. Not once did hear “ you are welcome “ or “ my pleasure ““

“Absolutely ridiculous amount of fries in the order of large fries but when the lady at the window saw that I was literally speechless, she filled up my bag with fries. Lol This place used to give you a ridulously LARGE amount of fries, now the serving size is the joke.“

“Lisa at Jersey Mike's is absolutely outstanding! She was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care that every customer had a great experience. She was patient, efficient, and made my order perfectly while keeping a positive attitude the entire time. It's rare to come across someone who takes so much pride in their work, and it really made my visit stand out. Great customer service like hers is one of the reasons I'll keep coming back. Thank you, Lisa, for going above and beyond—you truly made my day!“

“You don't realize how much flavor isn't present at other fast food places until you bite into a truly flavorful burger like Hugh Baby's. Get the double cheeseburger w the comeback sauce and you will thank yourself! Its a must get when I'm in East Nashville!“

“Was starving just left a 9 hr shift no lunch. Was in line ordered and correctly received my food in less than 3 min“

“05/16/26- I came here by accident. They sit by a Burger King 👑 and Taco 🌮 Bell 🛎️ I wasn’t impressed with BK menu and I don’t eat TB. We don’t have Cook Out in my state. So I decided to eat here.

I walked in and you know how the first thing everyone wants to do is wash their hands 🙌 This place has the sink with soap 🧼 and paper towels 🧻 ready for you to wash right before you place your order. I washed my hands 🙌

I walked in and was immediately greeted by Kamaris. He welcomed me in and answered my questions.

He had finished with a customer, then he let me look at the menu. He asked if I was ready and went over the menu.

He helped me place my order. It was easy from there. My meal was $7.99 plus tax and it comes with a drink.

Drinks - The ice machine was out but one of the crew members came out to look at it while I was there.

Since the cherry drink was out Kamaris had to get it from the back. The Cherry 🍒 drink is delicious 😋

I wasn’t supposed to drink it (diabetic) but I could not resist. I recommend you try it!

Sides - The meal comes with two sides. I asked for Hush Puppies. It comes with six Hush Puppies and they’re freshly made.

The fries are seasoned with a Cajun salt that adds a great taste. I ordered their own sauce and it was good with the hush puppies and the fries.

Burger - you get to add your toppings from a wide selection. I ordered grilled onions, mustard, and pickles on two patties. I don’t like cheese or anything else. I don’t eat both buns and the meal was filling.

Shout out to Kamaris who did it all. He ran the register and was busy after I placed my order. He was friendly to all his customers as he helped them all.

Later I saw him throwing out the trash. He had a good attitude about his job and his restaurant.

Kamaris told me his restaurant is the best one. I hope he’s recognized for his positive attitude. I enjoyed my visit thanks to Kamaris!“

“I love this taco truck! Everything is made fresh and fast. I frequently order the barbacoa burrito and I have never been disappointed. They include a salsa roja & salsa verde with each order and they are both delicious. They take cards or cash, but I try to pay cash whenever I can. I've also tried the birria tacos, the quesadillas, the rice, and the tortas, including carnitas, chicken, and chorizo. Again, it's always been good and a great value. You won't be disappointed.“

“So here’s my story… I was headed home from a night at the bars. All I could think about, was Taco Bell. I pulled up in the drive-through and it wasn’t even the AI voice greeting me… It was a real person. I already knew that this was going to be a great visit to my local Taco Bell, I ordered my food. By the way, they didn’t have an item I was looking for, but the lady offered the perfect substitute. I paid. Checked the contents of the bag. Everything was there. With a healthy amount of sauce. As I was making my way home, I couldn’t resist but to grab one of their brand new chicken tenders out of the bag. I reached in the container and pulled out a tender. This tender was very small. My initial thought was that my local Taco Bell didn’t care about me enough to give me a full size chicken tender. I ate the tender, because at the end of the day I was just hungry. I reached in the bag for another tender and found two more (this was a 2pc tender entree). This filled me with joy. I couldn’t believe what I was experiencing. The Taco Bell employees were conscious of the fact that I wasn’t getting what I paid for and made the necessary changes to put a smile on my face. I drove home more delighted than I had been in many moons. Thank you, local Taco Bell.“

“were are a team and strive to make our customers happy“

“Very friendly folks making the food and taking orders! Food didn't take very long at all and was delicious as to be expected from White Castle!

The only negative was that the Coke Freestyle machine was out of most flavors.“

“muy rico el pollo de ese lugar“

“I would like to say thank you and great customer service to Bryan who was working drive thru last night 7-2-26. I was door dashing and my card wouldn’t work (embarrassing) but they ended up giving me the food anyways. I am greatly appreciative and totally unexpected. I will pay it forward. Great customer service“

“I stayed a wonderful night at the Iris and it was fantastic. The rooms are updated and very modern. I loved the clean sleek look the vibe had in the room. Bring your own radio and phone as they dont have those things in the room
Yet the restful night's sleep was we lcomed!!“

“I started going here when I used to work down the street cause I couldn't eat the food we had it made me sick, the tacobell in my town wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they had to compete against this one, always quick, they change their baja instead of just saying it's out and everything is so delicious and so fresh, THIS is my go to tacobell!“

“On Sunday my daughter and I stopped in for lunch. I ordered the King’s Hawaiian Fish Deluxe Combo. As a fish lover, I am discriminating in what I enjoy; little square “filets” on a bunare usually gross. However, the Arby’s sandwich does not disappoint! Really good fish, served hot with plenty of toppings! Fries were good as always and my daughter enjoyed her Roast Beef n Cheddar and mint shake. Fast, good service, great food and a clean, pleasant restaurant. Thanks Arby’s!“

“Awesome food, great price, you don't feel terrible afterwards. I just wish they offered grilled chicken strips. They offer fried chicken strips.

Ice cream is awesome, i always get the M&M mint shake. Great ice cream and you don't feel abd afterwards.

Staff is very kind and friendly“

“5/29/2026- I’m hooked on Cook Out since arriving here for work. This was my first time at this location. Viv was on duty. She greeted me and others as we walked in.

She has a positive energy most lack. Best part is she’s bilingual and friendly to all. She is quick to take your order but she doesn’t rush you.

It is in a touristy location because other customers asked her about the menu and how to order. Viv didn’t seem put out. She helped them all.

I enjoy the $7.99 meal. It comes with Hush Puppies, fries and a double patty burger with your choice of toppings and condiments.

I’m easy going. I have them add their Cajun seasoning on the fries and burger. I prefer the grilled onions 🧅

The service is fast. The choice of for drinks is the best. Try the Cherry 🍒 drink.“

“The best place for fast Asian food in Nashville. Has not changed in over 20 years.“
