28 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Bristol

“If you’re looking for authentic Punjabi food—not a westernized version—this is definitely the place to visit. We had the egg bhurji and paneer paratha, and I have to say, they were some of the best I’ve had in a long time. I recently moved here from NYC, so that says a lot! Highly recommended. Tip- don’t judge the book by its cover.“

“Had a great experience at pals this morning. The staff was super nice and I got my food in a flash. I’ve always thought the food at pals was great and the prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend anyone passing by to stop in for breakfast lunch or dinner, though their breakfast is the most popular.“

“It’s my favorite ❤️ 😍 I highly recommend it.“

“I used to be a huge fan of Chick-fil-A and would eat there at least once a week. However, as my city expanded and developed, the chicken they serve back home became incredibly salty, spicy, and dry. Coming here brought back all the feelings from years ago—the casual, friendly conversations, the warm smiles, the fast yet patient service, and of course, the delicious chicken sandwiches. I will absolutely add this stop to my road trips in the future—even if it means making a detour just to come here.“

“Like all Chic-fil-A restaurants, it's very clean and appropriate. The stay is always polite and kind. The service is always fast, even when slammed. With rarity, I can honestly say that I have never had a negative experience with Chic-fil-A.“

“Before the pandemic my son Micah and me enjoyed many delicious meals and treats at this restaurant. Staff was great too! Hardees has legendary biscuits!“

“I know Hardee's in New Ulm MN has had some issues, but I went there today and was more than impressed! there were at least four people working there and they were so friendly and the food came really fast. it was fresh and hot and delicious! I can't wait to go there again, it looks like they have really pulled it together!“

“Unique today. Cajun chicken biscuit was so dry it cracked when a piece broken off. Gravy from the biscuits and gravy was sawdust gravy. No sausage. Horrible meal today. Have had good experiences but this was a total disaster. To top it off would not give me my receipt so I could stub. That was odd. Think meal was eleven something. Will try again and hope this was just a bad day.“

“always fair priced and nice staff“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“Went through the drive thru last night. They must be short handed as I paid they brought the food to the car in front of me then asked me to pull up to wait for mine. The classic sandwich was good. The chicken salad was lacking the pecan in its name and was a little dry. Still better "fast" food than most others on the parkway.“

“I was on break with a lunch I brought from home and I forgot my spoon. popped in on the off chance I could get a spoon and the lady with the black and white hair went super out of her way to help me !
I've never eaten at Jersey mikes but now I think I have to.
Give spoon lady a raise, she rocks!
THANK YOU SPOON LADY“

“Accidentally got French fries instead of tater tots the manager replaced the french fries for tots and gave me sorry we fudged up card.
So I came back with the sorry we fudge card and got a delicious burger. Thank you for the great service and the great management. You guys are the best. Thank you for the great food and service keep up the good work“

“Short changed by the guy that brought the food out. Walked by several times after that , did it on purpose. Change was less than the tip I kept. Food better than average. Too many workers out smoking by the order booths. No more business there.“

“Wanted to shout out the crew at the Bristol Va store #037662. We have been ordering from this location for about 6-8 months and the staff (Ashley in particular) has been gracious and making a seemingly mundane task of ordering food a fun experience. The food is always fresh and quality is great. We had an issue with the last pizza not being very hot and spoke with Ashley tonight prior to ordering and she ensured the door dash driver placed the pizza in a delivery bag to keep it hot. Pizza came piping hot and yet another fast and great order from this location and staff, they deserve some kudos.“

“Clean, welcoming, fresh food, quick service!
Simply great experience! Parking was easy even with our big truck. Staff welcomed us as soon as we came in and were helpful and pleasant! Very clean restaurant. Food was all fresh and delicious! They even have the flavored lemonades which are a fantastic idea! We haven't seen that yet at Panda. Absolutely would recommend this Panda Express.

I read over the previous lower reviews and it seems that they were about people who would show up at 9:59 and be bothered they were closing or people who just didn't like this type of food. The other type of negative review were people who could have just asked the staff for help to fix minor things, but instead wanted to whine online! C'mon people!

Summary, this Panda was great and glad we came!

$47 for three plates (2 entree's + 1 side each) plus 2 fountain sodas and 1 flavored lemonade. Comes with fortune cookies!“

“July 26 4 45 pm got best turkey sandwich ever!!! Cook even took time to toast bread,,,I used to go to the west state street store but they can't make a sandwich Went there 2 times for same order an still wrong an looked nasty it was a gyro an NOT a sandwich, Lee Hwy is where I will give my business to Lady at window very nice an Kuddos to the cook 😀“

“Justin and Tina went above and beyond to make things right. I ordered pepperoni on the app and got home and they were cheese? The app must have glitched out and when I called and explained they remade the pizza no questions asked. Great crew great food.“

“My grandbaby had such a blast here. Kids night is coming soon too!! So excited!!🥰“

“Honestly one of the best experiences I have ever had in a Drive thru. Upon arrival I was warmly welcomed and adequately attended to by Mr.Palmer. Also taking care of us at the window, making sure we got everything we needed and left with smiles on our faces. He definitely deserves recognition, we will return soon!“

“Ordered online thru the app. Popeye’s Spicy Chicken is the best. Order was ready upon arriving, I was given a drink for free. Staff at the Bristol, Virginia location are very friendly and courteous! Store was exceptionally clean! Food was wonderful!“

“Food is always delicious! Kaitlyn who works here is an absolute angel, she’s so sweet and kind and will get you anything you may need. She definitely deserves a big raise! Working in the fast food industry is one of the hardest jobs and Kaitlyn always maintains a smile!“

“I went for a Taco Salad last night ticket #3349 restaurant #00010925 Volunteer Parkway Bristol, Tn. I was served the slimiest, nastiest, grossed salad EVER for $9.28. It looked like a Science project. I had to drive ALL the way back and go in this time instead of the drive thru. I ask for a salad that was fresh. The lady looked into the frig were they are stored shook her head but didn't trash the other nasty ones they planned on serving but did request for me a new one fresh made as I requested. Was scared to eat it even because the man that made it was highly pissed when he brought it from the back. I never got an apology for my trouble, no manager spoke to me to apologize. Stood there forever and when I ask for a small cup for a drink since I had been waiting so long that was refused. I shall never eat there again. Times are tough and just to come home still scared to eat what they gave me because they were pissed is sad. Lesson learned $9.28 down the drain 😔 threw it away as well as my relationship with them.“

“I drove thru Bristol and thought I give this Wendy's a try.
The chicken sandwich was absolutely perfect, best I had anywhere in a long time. It also looked great, not just like somebody threw it together. Perfect.
The French Fries were perfect as well, crunchy, not too much fat taste, not too salty, perfect again. On my next pass thru Bristol, I will stop there again!!!“

“The Food was Great and the service was phenomenal. I'm from Milton Florida and I got hungry so we got off the highway and I'm so glad that we did because it was a wonderful customer experience.I hadn't ate at Wendy's in 10 years because the last time the service was bad.Thhis Wendy's I give a thumbs up & 5☆'s. I reccomend everyone to eat there. Thank you Tennessee“

“I went through the drive thru yesterday (7/3/26) around 6pm and received great service. The cashier that took my order was accurate, friendly and helpful. They were kind when I added on an M&M McFlurry at the payment window. I know, maybe I shouldn't have done that but I had forgotten to order at the speaker. I received the correct modifications to my burger and got all the sauces I asked for as well as an appropriate amount of napkins and did get the spoon and straw, some places forget those. I was pleased with my order and know that this is a location that I can return to for accurate and good service.“

“Came through tonight and had the absolute best experience ever. Lilly was the most amazing person ever. She had the best personality over about ever seen. Keep it thuggen Lilly . We will definitely be back again. Thank you for being so amazing“

“Had the chicken fingers and wings. Wanted to try the new dry rubs. Chicken fingers were hot an delicious. Order was messed up, ordered traditional wings but got boneless instead. Restaurant fixed order. Boneless wings were overcooked and not very good with a dry rub. These wings would be better sauced. The replacement wings with Nashville hot rub were tasty and fresh but could use a lot more flavor. Remaining part of meal included the fries an bread which were delicious. Staff was very friendly.“
