8 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Athens

“I was there at 715pm and my food was hot and fast considering there was a long line of kids and how busy it was. Definitely taking my family back“

“always has great service and food“

“I did the drive through to get a peanut butter milkshake for my sick wife. Was in a line with three cars and it did take a bit. I think the first car ordered a lot and the order got bungled by someone. They got pulled over eventually to wait and we all got through then. The lady at the drive through was great and friendly.“

“Work graveyard shift, every Saturday morning & Sunday morning eat lunch there. Always same order, burger, fries & small drink. The burger is always great, but the fries are different The fries are always hot, but if store is busy the fries are very crispy (Great). But if the is not busy, the fries are still hot. They are very limp & saturated with oil. On these occasions I just throw them away. Don't know why this has held true since May 2022. Frustrating“

“Went thru the drive thru, ordered same order as usual. I always ask for them to put the coleslaw in a separate bag from the Chicken. No one likes hot coleslaw...I was there at 535pm. Orders and drive thru moved fast.. she was super courteous, and..Coleslaw was bagged separate as requested...That is only Second out of about ten times it happens.. receipt shows Empl.1. Reg 2. Thanks for training a caring person that listens and not just a robot... Order was # 168

“I was so happy the meximelt was brought back. It is only for a short time, so if it was one of your favorites, need to get them by the end of the year.

Parking: The parking is awful. It is very easy to get blocked in by drive-thru traffic.

Kid-friendliness: A lot of food options for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: This facility is wheelchair accessible.“

“I think this is one of the best Sonic Drive-In's that I've eaten, and it hasn't deteriorated as much as others. The food is still really cheap if you use the app or arrive at the wrong time. Occasionally, I will have an order taker make a mistake, but I contacted the website and they remedied the mistake, which prompted me to update my review.

A few things I don't like is not really a problem with this location, specifically.

1. i don't like how maby of the benefits have shifted exclusively toward the app, which makes it inaccessible to other people, including me when I don't want to use my phone.
2. There is a lot of cigarette smoke, but the unfortunate thing is I can't completely blame tobacco here, because even when I'm eating outside when the windows down or just on the patio, which is really nice by the way, there is just this awful smell no matter what, and aside from regulating smoking (which they probably could try) or vehicle emissions (which they can't), I don't know what to write. Actually, I do, I just don't know the right way to write it, but I'll write it best I can.

These are my unsolicited suggestions, which I would rather them leave it than take it, because I'm familiar with how good-intentioned suggestions can have unforeseen detrimental effects.

Anyone who smokes on property ground should be denied service. No payment and they can request a refund if already paid but not on site. There are children who are susceptible. Their food, if not handed over, will be donated to anyone who wants it. They can come back but not when smoking. They can smoke on the way here, but the cigarette shall be finished when pulling up, and that includes the drive-through. I didn't work here, but my goodness is it rude and literally toxic to be greeted by a cigarette at a different restaurant I worked at.

Cars may be in ignition, but only until they receive their order. Either turn off the car or drive off within five minutes. Accomodations can be made for people with disabilities, children, pets, or don't have a place nearby to go, among other reasons, but at the very least, they can request them to leave and go to a park if they want to be out, which is what I'm going to do now since I can't eat there where there's high-volume traffic, which is when the smog accumulates and just makes it feel toxic.

I will not apologize for my pearl clutching nor do I expect them to do anything about it, but I wanted to air that out. I just want to enjoy my unhealthy food in a slightly healthier air, and it stinks, literally and figuratively, that I can't do it there, but I can only control my end of it.

Anyway, aside from that wall of text, I do think this is the best Sonic here. I want the give props to the crew. There are so many names of people who do a good job, many who may have moved on since I last received service here from them, so I want to give them applause for what they do provide.

Vegetarian options: It is very hard to order something without meat unless you request it off, and they probably still cook a lot of it on a meat-contaminated grill, which doesn't bother me as much, but it would for someone who is vegetarian for health reasons and not for taste.

Dietary restrictions: There are ways to request it, but to what extent, I don't know. They are relatively restrictive.

Parking: There are twenty-twk parking spots, not countig the drive through, and some side and back spots that may be for the employees, but I've used those spots when I want to eat in the patio. There is at least one spot I know of that doesn't work, though, so I've been parking there to avoid taking up other spots.

Kid-friendliness: During times with high-traffic, there is a lot of cigarette smoke and smog.

“Two days before Christmas and I know they're tired of folks but...Also wall by door was dirty. Just needed some dusting and cleaning of display jars, sweeping etc. I did not use restroom so I don't know the condition. It was after lunch. The food was good. They offered a spicy tender because they were out of 1 for a 5 piece reg. Also out of mac'n cheese for 1 order. If I spend as much for groceries in a fast food place I expect it to be the best.“
