12 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Gainesville

“I’ve had more hangry joes since I’ve moved out east than any other restaurant, my family and I *love* it. Biggest caveat, which is one of their strengths, is that the restaurant makes everything fresh… The spice levels have been variable at the five or six different ones I’ve been to! I only get mild, it sometimes the mild is too spicy. Then I’ll ask for “no heat” and it will be completely unseasoned…. If I could just find some consistency in their mild, I’d be good to go. LOL So far my favorite location has been crystal city around the pentagon shops. They always add ranch, and the cook is impeccable!“

“I visited early morning with my family and enjoyed the fresh breakfast. The new bannana shake or smoothie was awesome.

“The App is MUCH improved and easy to use. The people were friendly and helpful. And the food was done exactly when they said.

My only not pick is that when I ask for “extra well-done” French Fries they do not seem to understand what I mean.“

“Great and fast service, Chris was helpful and polite. Food was prepared fast and quickly“

“One of the best Taco Bells in the area - definitely one of the friendliest. Rupinder and Maria do a great job, and are always friendly and positive.

Vegetarian options: Using the app allows swapping beans for meat. Black beans are delicious! Pro tip - always get burritos grilled!“

“We love Potbelly! Nice location and friendly workers! Original Roast beef with provolone cheese, lettuce, extra pickles, hot peppers and Italian Seasoning on a white roll. My lunch date had an original Wreck with mayo, lettuce and pickles on a wheat roll. We both enjoyed a chocolate milkshake with a cookie on the straw. Sandwiches and shakes were delicious!! And two jars of hot peppers to go!!“

“The pizza was not completely cooked through and the matter was brought to the staff who cooked it attention but he refused to put the pizzas back in the oven to cook a longer. The pizzas were already paid for and I was unable to eat it due to the uncooked dough and toppings.“

“Great food! Great employees and service!“

“Ordered a stuff crust pizza? There was no cheese in that pizza in the crust at all. Nothing no juice in that crust what back next day, they fulfilled and remade it, no problem. Tasted excellent, and it was very delicious. Can't wait to stop by again“

“Jersey Mike's has been a staple for years. Started noticing a decline all around at my usual stops; skimping on meat, lackluster employees, dirty eating area, dirty and poorly maintained restrooms. I had almost relegated myself to settling for Subway. Stopped into this location on a detour from my regular route, having read positive reviews. Been here multiple times now, and found it to be consistently like my old favorites. Good portions, clean, and the employees are terrific. Worth the extra time and fuel to drive out of my way to get here. Haymarket and South Riding should take a few notes.“

“I have been a Subway Sandwiches customer now for 30 years. In that time I have eaten at 100 or so different locations throughout the northern Virginia area and beyond. And I'd have to say about 55-60% of those restaurants are complete Garbage (rotten vegetables and employees). About 30% of the locations are OK places (good enough, but nothing great). And the rest are very nice establishments. Now comes this place, This Subway is THE BEST Subway restaurant I have EVER been to (and I have been to a lot of them). I have been going to this Subway for 3 years now. The different employees come and sadly go, but one thing always remains constant, everybody who works here are Exceptional Individuals (if they don't like their jobs, they don't make it the customer's problem). Always very happy to make your sandwich Exactly the way you want it; And always Nice to talk to. No matter who's behind the counter, it's always the same. ..Not bad management for a 'gas station'.“

“I had an amazing experience at Papa John's, all thanks to Conner! He's one of the friendliest and most efficient team members I've come across. His attention to detail and dedication to making sure my order was perfect really stood out. You can tell he genuinely cares about the customers and the quality of his work. Thank you, Conner, for making my experience so enjoyable. I'll definitely be coming back!

Vegetarian options: cheese pizza and deserts.
