31 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Charlottesville

“Clean. Fresh. Friendly. Try the Shrimp! 🍤 and Brisket! Both are delicious.

If you want a small bowl to try a taste, you can get one for only $6.95!
I got:
White rice, shrimp, regular queso, cilantro, mild corn salsa, salsa verde(green salsa), pico (mild tomato salsa), guacamole, chili creme salsa (kind of a creamy orange color)

It was a good flavor balance.

Vegetarian options: I love that this restaurant offers fresh cilantro as a topping and so many sauce/salsa options!

Veggies on the bar: black beans, pinto beans, Fajitas, regular queso and spicy queso, lettuce, pico, tomatillo salsa, mild corn salsa, chili creme salsa, (cilantro), guacamole, hot salsa, Parmesan cheeses, pickled onions, sliced jalapeños, tortilla chip strips, spicy ranch, and a few more.
•You can get toppings on a flour tortilla burrito 🌯 or a bowl of rice 🍚 or a salad 🥗 or a quesadilla, nachos.

Dietary restrictions: Everything is super clean, always being wiped down, & guards against cross-contamination.

The staff offered to change their gloves between making my spicy burrito and my mom's mild bowl.

Some hot salsa got on her gloves and my mom does not like spicy food.

I appreciated that because it is that level of thoughtfulness and respect that you do not always find at every restaurant you go to.

They have two different rice options: white rice with lime and cilantro and brown Spanish-style rice

Parking: Parking on the strip in front of the rest as well as additional parking in front of BJ's restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: High chairs available.

You can get salsas and queso's and different "new" ingredients on the side, so they can be tried for flavor and spice level without ruining the entire entree.

Wheelchair accessibility: Decent amount of distance between indoor and outdoor tables.

Space at round tables to have a wheelchair ♿️ between the curved bench seating.

“Outstanding customer service!!!“

“I recommend the 66 steak and cheese portabella sub was very flavorful and satisfying. The restaurant was clean and friendly. Hats off to everyone And Thank you“

“the food and the amazing staff“

“The Five Guys Restaurant at Hollymeade is by far the cleanest eating establishment I’ve ever seen. Floors were immaculate and all counters were sparkling clean! Quite impressed at the level of clean they are maintaining. Super friendly and efficient staff, great food as always. Keep it up!“

“Surprising treat fried chicken amazing.“

“I had Jersey Mike’s years ago and wasn’t impressed. Today I went in to grab my wife lunch as she had a coupon and I couldn’t be more impressed!! Sub was amazing and the service was even better. I highly recommend getting it Mike’s way!“

“HUGE Cookout fan here! My gf and I LOVE this place. I'm originally from Long Island and hadn't had Cookout until I came to Cville. But once I did I was instantly hooked.
Typically my gf and I order to go. We always get 2 Burgers Cheddar Style, 2 hot dogs with chili cheese and very crispy bacon mmmmmm.
And my absolute favorite item on the Cookout menu that NOBODY else has or can duplicate and that is the White Cheddar Bites! Oh my goodness! 😃😃😃Might be the BEST thing I ever ate! Deep fried awesomeness. Especially when you first get them when they are hot and fresh. Wow! I always get 3 orders of those for us to share.
They have a very wide selection on their menu with many combo options. Over 40 milkshake flavors!
Great atmosphere once you enter Cookout. Nice country music playing in the background setting up a vacation like ambience. Always super clean. Friendly upbeat staff. I can't wait to return to yummy Cookout! 😎😎😎😎😎“

“you have to try the foot long hot dog with chili onions and mustard. to die for. The only thing is they don't take credit cards so you need cash“

“Muito bom. muito bom mesmo👍🏼👍🏼“

“😀 very good. thanks very much“

“Fast service. The kindest smiling people and they noticeably care about their restaurant and look happy. Great tasting, fresh meals, all recommended. Flowers or plants on tables. Always clean! Bathrooms have diapers available for customers with babies.“

“Great food and wonderful staff!!!“

“Best Bojangles I have ever been in. Staff was kind courteous and thoughtful. Entire store was clean. Even though it was getting close to closing time they had no problem getting anything we needed. I don't know if I've ever even gotten that good of service at a Chick-fil-A. 20/10 stars yall.“

“Raising Cane’s was really good overall. The chicken was hot, crispy, and fresh, and the Cane’s sauce definitely lived up to the hype — super flavorful and addictive. The fries and toast were both solid, especially when you dip them in the sauce.

The only thing I didn’t care for was the coleslaw. It just didn’t have much flavor and kind of felt like a filler side. Other than that, everything else hit the spot. The service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant was clean and well-kept.

Overall, great place for chicken tenders — just not a fan of the slaw.“

“I visited this location this evening to pick up dinner for myself, my son and his friends. I cannot say enough wonderful things. From the lady taking the orders, to the young man at the window. Everything was fast, efficient, and the staff were extremely polite and friendly (which is hard to find in society today). We didn’t wait at all and the food was hot and fresh! This was our first time but we will be back!“

“We love Chick-fil-A and this is a nice location. It was clean, friendly, and the servers were very nice. I'm always stuck by the manners and outgoing attitude of Chick-fil-A staff, and this location was no exception. They were all very willing to please. Well done, Charlottesville Chick-fil-A!“

“Verry nice clean store staff was great to deal with great fresh hot food.“

“Love love LOVED the food, this is the first time I and my family have had Himalayan, and we all loved it, we ordered delivery just to try, and it was all absolutely delicious. We will be ordering again, and again. Overall I believe the pork momos were my favorite, though I loved everything. I cannot recommend this place more. Everything had a small of spice but that is expected with so much flavor. Even with delivery the food was still so hot in the bag that from the time I was outside to getting into the kitchen my arm was red and hot. Everything is fresh. All the meats were very tender as well.“

“Not gonna lie, when I heard that my store's Thanksgiving meal for the associates was gonna be from a food truck, I was a bit skeptical. The food is amazing. Everything was well seasoned. And the people making and serving the food were super nice! Can't thank them enough!“

“Decent food as long as you didn’t want the Au Jus with you sandwich that was supposed to come with it. 😒“

“Very clean and fresh store with great service! Mr. Singh and Ms. Kaur were extremely kind and helpful. They made a special Rotisserie Spicy Chicken Sandwich just the way I like it and even offered free cookies, which was a nice surprise. The food was delicious, and the staff made the whole experience really enjoyable. Highly recommended!“

“My Youth Group was assigned to going to this Arby's and buying a burger, but nothing else. The young woman behind the counter was a bit overwhelmed by all our orders, but she did great. The burger I had was delicious. Good work, Arby's.“

“I mean it is Taco Bell, it isn't fine dining. But I will say this is one of the fastest and cleanest Taco Bell's I have seen. They have the new computer kiosks for ordering and AS SOON as I payed they were calling my name withy drink and dessert (the things that didn't need to be made). The new Disha hot sauce limited time sauce was excellent. I'm going to have to order some for home. A nice collaboration.“

“It's kind of depressing inside, but the food is pretty good. Get take out I guess haha.

Vegetarian options: One of the few fast food restaurants around to have vegetarian options.

Parking: The parking lot is sort of small but it's not busy and there are also more lots near by if it did manage to somehow fill up. It won't be difficult to find parking at all.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have easy acsses for wheelchairs.“

“On Wednesday, July 23rd, I had such a wonderful experience at your location. I am a 77 year old lady. I was on my way to my part time job and just wanted a refreshing sweet tea. At first I had gone through the drive through at McDonald’s. The lady there was very rude to me and I drove away without my tea. (Different story!) Anyway I was disappointed and I really wanted that tea. So I decided to go to Taco Bell. The sweet young man at the drive through didn’t know how upset I was and when I got to the window he handed me my tea with a smile and wished me a blessed day! I’m sure he doesn’t give away the profits but he knew exactly what I needed at the right time! I tried to pay but he just repeated to have a blessed day! I have never had a bad experience at any Taco Bell location. Thank you to that wonderful young man! I was there around 3-3:30 PM. He is a very good example of how to treat customers! I hope you keep him!“

“Hola McDonald's es muy bueno y rico en comida rápida. Buena atención y amables para atender al client.“

“Thank you for feeding SMJH staff during these difficult times. 💕💕💕“

“Sam, Greenbrier Elementary School thanks you and your employees for the delicious food you provided for us yesterday. We really appreciated your kindness and generosity. Thanks again! Luella Anderson“
