26 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Hayes

“Very disappointed Corporate has decided to do away with low carb options.

Vegetarian options: There are some salads, but they are over-priced.

Dietary restrictions: Low carb options have been taken away by Corporate. Bad for us diabetics.“

“Papa John's is my favorite fast pizza. I no longer live within 1 hrs of one, and definitely not within delivery distance. Thus particular one was cleaner than most, on my way elsewhere, and an apt reproduction of the company product. 100% of what you desire from chain pizza.“

“One of our favorite things about the Hayes Pizza Hut is our delivery driver, Bobby. He is great! Always gets our order to us piping hot and always has a smile and a great attitude! These days, good customer service is a rarity so we are very thankful when he brings our order. We had another delivery driver once and by the time I got done discussing which order was mine and why the food was cold. Keep up the great job, Bobby! see you again soon!“

“Great dinner and company. The dining room was pleasantly clean and the ambient music not overbearing as some places are. The staff was helpful and made a great suggestion of something to try based on what else we ordered, showing attention to the customer at hand, not a generic 'try this new menu item'. Very pleased. I don't eat out often and am generally disappointed, not tonight!!!“

“This has been my MOST FAVORITE store of all for quite some time. The ABSOLUTE BEST workers anywhere!❤️“

“Great Pizza and dinners!!!!“

“If popeye's chicken is the devils chicken than I'm thankful that chick-fil-a is the lords chicken 🙏. I have never had a bad time or bad food here. And the employee Derrell is hands down the nicest dude on earth and I would be so upset if he left there.“

“First time here at this new store, I am well pleased with the blizzard I had and the large twist cone my wife had, ice cream was thick and firm, we will come again

Parking: New store but has a pothole at the drive thru entrance.“

“It's fast food but it's not fast but in this spots case that's okay because when you get your food you realize it too some time because they were preparing it as opposed to waiting fifteen minutes for old or cold food so it's fine for fast food if that's your thing.“

“This place is a Grafton icon.The building is at least 30 years old, but it's still in good condition, and has been well taken care of.Everything's relatively clean, the service is ok, and the food is great. Plus Hardee's has new crinkle fries that are really good.Only negative was we practically had to lift our legs up for the guy mopping the floor lol...........lot's of invasion of space lol.“

“It's not the restaurant's fault that the property it was bought on and built on was/is surrounded by some pretty less-than-impressive exterior decor (the blacktop/asphalt/surface of the drive-thru and building appearance overall). It's not like it's a thing that weighs heavily in a review of a drive-thru order.
The food has been fantastic to the point that I felt it only fair I leave a perfect review as a result. Please keep this level of quality up. I won't go anywhere else for fast food in Gloucester if you keep this up. 😀“

“This taco bell is the best taco bell, no....the best fast food restaurant ever, hands down. I dont know what they are slipping into these doritos locos taco supremes from this joint but i crave them 24/7. And heres the best part. They aint never gone skimp ever. In fact they load these beast tacos up everytime. Plus they taste so darn good. Its the best quality dorito taco you will find.“

“Best sandwich shop in town, love the workers and the energy they give off! 5 stars all around. Love love love this place. Everyone here’s deserves a raise

Dietary restrictions: I’m gluten free, and they 100% take care of me“

“Stuff maybe new but the negative comments uncalled for about the other customers !!! I'm not mad at a wait for fresh food! Last time everything was fresh but burger bread was so hard and it was cold couldn't eat it .when I called was placed on hold with a greeting until I hung up 12mins of waiting“

“I travel a lot for work, from Newport News to Charlottesville and anywhere in between, and I tend to go to Hardee's out of habit. This one is my favorite hands down. The bathroom is always clean and they're always fast with my food.“

“Your cashier Andrea is a wonderful team member! I enjoyed her upbeat positive personality and contagious laughter! Service was amazing and food is good like always. Thank you for brightening my day.“

“Wendy’s is one of the top fast-food chains, known for its fresh, never frozen beef and signature square burgers. Compared to competitors like McDonald’s and Burger King, Wendy’s stands out with its high-quality ingredients, unique menu items, and strong focus on flavor.

Food Quality & Menu

Wendy’s offers a wide variety of options, from classic burgers and chicken sandwiches to fresh-made salads and loaded baked potatoes. Their 4 for $4 and Biggie Bag deals provide good value, while their Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Baconator are fan favorites. The Frosty (especially the chocolate one) is a must-try dessert, known for its creamy texture and perfect balance of sweetness.

Service & Atmosphere

Service quality can vary by location, but Wendy’s generally offers quick and friendly service. The restaurants are typically clean, and the drive-thru is efficient. Some locations have digital kiosks for ordering, making the process even smoother.

Pricing & Value

Wendy’s is slightly more expensive than some fast-food competitors, but the quality of food justifies the price. They also frequently offer deals through their app, making it a more budget-friendly option for regular customers.

Overall Rating

⭐ 4.5/5 – Wendy’s delivers great-tasting food with fresh ingredients, but occasional inconsistencies in service and pricing can be drawbacks. However, if you're looking for a quality fast-food burger and delicious sides, Wendy’s is a solid choice.“

“My order is always right and hot, however I'm NEVER GREETED when walking in to pickup my mobile order, today specifically I walked in and the mngr was standing up front along with 2 other employees it took at least 2 mins for anyone to ask what I was there for, and they don't say thank u have a nice day or anythg... I always experience this but today was it, I can't spend anymore money at this location“

“Love their chicken. You can't beat it with stick. When you're hungry and don't have a whole of change. These people great!! Gas too is cheap to 2.08 a gallon ?come on now!!! It doesn't get any better I'm telling you you want to save money this is the place to go to fill your belly and your tank. Cigarettes however are very high priced here. But who needs to smoke anyway? It's. Bad for you.“

“Tonight all our food was on point! Pan pizza, pasta, sandwiches, parm bites, lava cakes. Thanks for the hot n fresh food along with fast n friendly service Keith and Dominos Team“

“They did have to make the food for my kids twice but they were super busy at the time and my kids are picky and have to special order everything. Personally I don't like the special ordering of stuff but at the end of the day I am buying this from you so I should be able to get it the way I want it especially if I am willing to pay the up charges to make changes. But this is now my local Taco Bell and it is a good one, the food is good and the service is good considering the decline in fast food service you find nowadays this taco bell has great service lol. But alas it is just a taco bell when you want that fake Mexican food that isn't anything like Mexican food but you just want something in a crunchy shell or a flour wrap it is a good option.“

“Got my food quick. Server was super nice and the food was hot and delicious.“

“I placed an online order for 2 pizzas tonight, one gluten free and one regular…. had a slight issue with them but it was immediately resolved upon calling the store. The manager Joe was absolutely incredible and very attentive, he was quick to offer solutions to my concerns. The whole staff was very kind and polite when I entered the store. I would 100% recommend this store and company.“

“Some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. I was in there today 08/31 ordered the buffalo wings delicious and the customer service was phenomenal Peter and Tiffany thank you so much for being so kind and professional and the little boy was great also and knew exactly what he was doing again thank you so much

“This is literally the only Pizza Hut in Newport News that I would go to! The rest of them I have no clue why they're so nasty or the food tastes gross... But this Pizza Hut is literally the only Pizza Hut that cooks the orders right... And they are nice and the food is always fresh and delicious. I don't understand why other Pizza huts can't do the same thing... I'm always willing to make the drive for this Pizza Hut lol“
