41 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Gate City

“The atmosphere is a cozy diner atmosphere that would be un American not to love. The staff go above and beyond. The food is ok some things are better than other things but the prices match the quality of the food so I would eat here many times over. I wish they had fresh cut fries. That would be my only complaint.“

“Everyone was really friendly, store was very clean and best of all the blast from the past Peg Legs, batter dipped chicken wings (Testing) were crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Like a old friend from my childhood I had forgot existed. Hope they make it back to all stores.“

“I needed 28 meals for out of town workers helping to restore power in the area. I called and was assisted by Jared who was patient and courteous. The food was ready when promised and all 28 of our employees LOVED the food. I, personally, don’t care for fast food burgers, but this one was incredible. Everyone in our group loved the dinner so much they requested the same for lunch the very next day. 10/10 could not recommend this location and burger enough.“

“I was so happy about the Taco Bell when I moved to Gate City. Coming from Jacksonville, Florida. I'm used to the Taco Bell employees punching my taco before they hand it to me. And it can be kind of frustrating knowing that whole damn crew smokes weed but not a single one of them can roll a f'ing burrito. 🙄 But the one here is awesome! A whole year and I haven't got a single messed up order or a taco that was beat to shit. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is. Thank you! You guys are the shit! 💙👊🏻“

Parking: Most have enough parking for 15-25 cars

Kid-friendliness: All the staff I have brought my daughter around have been super nice to her. She even had one buy her a milkshake for her once

Wheelchair accessibility: Every hardees I have been to has ramps to get to the entrance“

“try not to tell too many people, it's hard enough to get a double big pal.“

“I've ate burgers in different chains all across America and in other countries as well. No one comes close to the Big Pal. It always has been and always will be the best burger you can eat. The only caveat is, make sure you order it with pickles (once you try it, you can never get it without them).“

“Best burger & fries around! 😋“

“I love the First Pals in Kingsport Tennessee it is great I have ate at a all of them but 4 Pals it truly East Tennessee I am the greatest Pals fan I even have a Pals t shirt and hat I would love to be a Pals spokesman J Wyatt me and Ma love Pals“

“This little family owned greasy spoon is a local treasure. Excellent ice cream treats and good quality freshly made menu items. Typical of a classic mid-century drive-in the relaxed atmosphere is like a walk back in time. Make no mistake-you will not leave there with an empty stomach. The ladies at the counter are always friendly and helpful. They are patient with small kids that can't decide their ice-cream fate. Great variety. Ask about their Hamburger Steak specials.“

“Way back in 1970’s ATL , a friend told Mr.Cathy: we have to drive all the way to
Hapeville to get a decent chicken sandwich! That’s about an hour drive , before 285 was built and we were in North Sandy springs! Perimeter mall has a NEW Chick Fil -A store wow! From then on I was hooked. 50 years later, I’m back in the south , so happy to find you here? In TN.❤️🩷💛“

“As a drive thru restaurant only, the parking lot and drive thru lane were very clean and the yard was well maintained. From what I could see from the drive up window, the store was very clean. The employees were extremely nice and seemed to be knowledgeable about the menu. My food and drink order was accurate, hot, and tasted good. Highly recommend this location of Pal”s.“

“It was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Their food was really good my best friend Michala works there too! :)“

“Jessie always provides great customer service“

“Genuinely the best service from any Arby's I've ever been to. I don't know how they managed to find such talented, intelligent and kind employees. Food is fresh and everyone there actually seems to like their job, so rare in today's world.“

“Ordered the new strawberry froze slush no strawberry flavor to it husband ordered diet coke with cherry flavor very bland waste of money“

“I've never had a bad experience at this Hardee's. The food is always fresh and the customer service is always spot on.“

“It was refreshing to see the new, clen look of this Arby's. The staff made eye contact, smiled and was professional and friendly. Isabell M took our order. They filled our order quickly. The temperature of the food was correct and we even got a senior discount. Well done!!! Keep up the good work.“

“Food was cold. Chicken was dry and the breading was hard. Slaw tasted like it was just cabbage and mayo. Of course we were there close to closing time so maybe that was why. Normally the chicken is awesome. The tea was really good as always.“

“We had an online order a little over a week ago and we were short a few pieces of chicken tenders, so I called the Mount Carmel, TN store and I asked for the manager. The manager, Preston Williams came on the phone and I explained that we were short a few pieces of the chicken and he was very nice and apologized for the inconvenience and said that he would like to make it right and said that he would like to give me free of charge more chicken and I said thank you that would be great. We went back last night and he was there and I told him who I was and he was very nice and said he would make us our chicken. Well we were eating our food that we had ordered and he brings us our fresh made chicken and again apologized and asked if everything was okay, it was great. The people at this Hardee's are really sweet people from the counter person to the manager. The place was very clean also. We will definitely be back in to eat and say hello. Thanks Hardee's.“

“Best service!!!! Affordable for families💕“

“Really nice employees who made my sandwich with ease & a smile when I came in 10 minutes before they were supposed to close. It was truly an enjoyable experience & though I was there to pickup a sandwich for my husband, it made me want to come back soon. Nice job y'all!“

“Not sure, why the bad reviews ?
The food has been consistently delicious and no problem with service. Best fries, albeit, a little salty. Quick turn around, both at drive through and walk in. We're staying close at a hotel and it's close, quick and delicious“

“I ordered on the app and upon arrival my food was ready. The drive thru worker was friendly and welcoming. I was drove home and my food was still hot. Cole slaw was tasty and not watery, hush puppies hot and fresh, my shrimp was not over cooked and had a good flavor. You can't beat the price!“

“I stopped by Burger King this morning through the drive-thru for a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit and some French toast sticks, and it was a great start to the day. The food was exactly what I hoped—hot, fresh, and satisfying.

What really makes this location stand out is the morning manager—they’re absolutely the best part of the early morning experience. Friendly, efficient, and welcoming, they make the drive-thru run smoothly and put a smile on your face before your first cup of coffee.

If you’re looking for a quick breakfast with excellent service, this Burger King is definitely worth a stop.“

“Inside of the BP on John B. Dennis nearest to Interstate 26. Fresh food the way you like it, friendly service from Subway and BP customer service representatives, and two tables for your convenience if you come at the right times ( in between regular mealtimes).“

“The Blizzards we bought were so good and cold. It really hit the spot on these hot days we have been having lately. Our food was nice and hot & fresh and tasted so great. I went thru the drive thru when I bought these meals to-go. I was in a bit of a hurry that day, but they had my order out the window to me in a flash and had me on my way fast. I was very pleased. Especially when my order was correct too. I didn't have to wait long at all for it at all. I love Dairy Queen's food, their ice cream sundaes, and all of their milk shakes. Great job Dairy Queen!!“

“My husband had went to grab some food here. If I would have been with my husband I would have told the manager off for cussing his employees in front of the customers and asked for my money back. But I wasn't with him and the food I was presented at home was the WORST Arbys food I have ever had. Maybe 6 FF, the Roast Beef was hard with hard chunks in it, also had Mozz Sticks that was like trying to eat a tire and no dipping sauce either. We WILL NOT be back at this one and I'll be contacting corporate or someone to let them know how unprofessional their manager is to their employees.“

“Small corner stall next to Starbucks. Has room for Four already to go Personal Pan Pizzas. Choice was limited Three cheese and one pepperoni. Pepperoni was done and not doughy in the center. Crust was crisp, but not over done. Counter person seemed knowledgeable and friendly.“

“The most spectacular team and top level service. Seriously blown away at how consistently excellent these folks are. I do not eat at Jersey Mike’s outside of this location if at all possible. Because that’s how good they are. Thank you very much to the staff!“

“Wow! In the last two months, this place has really improved.“

“Recently experienced delicious food served unbelievably fast at The Purple Cow. Their burgers have old fashion taste.“

“We live 2 minutes from the Mall and have never bought anything from Charley’s until today. We have been missing out ! I purchased the original Philly Cheesesteak and an order of the fries for my Husband and myself and the food was amazing !! Now when we want the best Cheesesteak sandwich around,I only need to go two minutes from our home to get it 😳 Yippie !!“

“Best restaurant although they forgot that Dave single and we have to go back in there and I love their new sauces which replaced barbecue with honey BBQ, sweet and sour with sweet chili ghost pepper ranch replaced with scorching hot buttermilk ranch replaced with creamy ranch and then the brand new Wendy's signature sauce. Honey mustard was never replaced. It's just now called honey mustard still but they're the best restaurant. They have good Frosty selection now. They got fusion frosties, swirl frosties and regular frosties“

“My daughter went by and picked up a Whopper meal tonight. It was a great meal. 👍 The vegetables was fresh and crispy with the perfect amount of condiments. Thank you so much. Kingsport, TN rocks!“

“The store was very busy and the manager that had tattoos on his neck made time and went above and beyond to dig threw boxes just to find one particular toy for my son iv worked in fastfood and I know how stressful it is and I didn't want him to go unrecognized for the effort he made“
