50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Richmond

“Absolutely phenomenal experience at CHIC’N CRAVE in Petersburg! I placed a large order just 30 minutes before closing—four chicken sandwiches, a 20-piece chicken tender meal, and their amazing honey biscuits—and everything was fresh, hot, and made to order. That kind of care and quality, especially so close to closing time, really impressed me. The food? Top-tier. The chicken sandwiches were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the tenders were juicy with a golden crunch. But the honey biscuits stole the show—soft, buttery, and just the right touch of sweetness. What really stood out, though, was the service. The owner personally greeted me with a warm welcome, and you could tell they genuinely care about their customers. It’s rare to find that kind of hospitality and pride in both food and service. If you're in Petersburg or just passing through, CHIC’N CRAVE on North Sycamore Street is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back!“

“the best halal food in NYC I love going there“

“Tried their gyro platters with white sauce n just little hot sauce on side.it was so delicious.loved this cozy place with so many options.“

“I love basically halal, the falafel shawarma is so good! Probably my favorite, but everything I’ve tried has been so good. It’s a blessing to experience authentic middle eastern foods here in rva. Highly recommend ❤️🇵🇸“

“Best vegan restaurant 😋 Flavor, variety, consistency, service 🙌 10/10 ⭐️“

“good service.cold slaw was good“

“I am new to RVA and this came across my news feed as a must try. HOLY CRAP AM I HAPPY I DID. I ordered a 3 pc and let the girl behind the counter choose my proteins and sides. SHE CHOSE RIGHT.

SUPER POLITE, CLEAN, GOOD PRICES,

The chicken was juicy, the flavor was AMAZING.

But the awesome service made it all worth the trip“

“Love supporting local food joints!“

“My doordash driver was pretty late delivering this to me, but I still got my combo platter piping hot. Got a rather hefty chicken & gyro platter with some pita bread, and it was delicious. The meats and the basmati rice were seasoned, and the cubed cucumbers were a nice crunchy contrast. It's a great spot in the city, and the price isn't bad either. An additional big plus for this joint is that it's open pretty late, and the food is exactly what you need to avoid or cure potential hangovers.“

“Must-Visit for Platter Lovers !!

I keep coming back here because the quality is so consistent. The chicken platter is great, but the fish platter is the real hidden gem—so flavorful! Their signature red and white sauces are excellent and tie everything together perfectly. 10/10.“

“Wow! We just had lunch here. We got the deluxe kebab. Everything about this was incredibly delicious and I look forward to eating care again. The spices were unique, I could take home a gallon of the yogurt sauce and eat it every day. Go here immediately!“

“3/25/26 stopped by after medical appt heading back to norfolk, I ordered nuggets 8 pc, fries, vanilla shake. Order#4513147 @ 11:30:25 reg.# 57 cashier Shadee and operator Greg Williams. The young man was very polite, helped me order and offered a free cookie for the trip back I accepted that chocolate chip cookie (which was the bomb) so was the vanilla shake. I told him I had just left VCU and has a follow up from surgery. I told him they are the bomb! They are very professional workers and they take great care of their patients. Everything was super excellent! I hadn't had chic fil a in a few years because of weight issues but I had a long ride home, no breakfast so I thought I'd get some lunch. The food was at the perfect temp, not red hot just right! The vanilla shake was delicious, hadn't had one of those in years. The cookie I waited awhile to eat but delicious! Excellent, Excellent service! Keep up the good work! Love the heaters for the employees and customers! Your the Bomb!“

“When I moved to Richmond from Charlottesville, I was SO HAPPY to discover a Sticks in Willow Lawn! I loved Sticks in Charlottesville and the one in Willow Lawn is equally excellent. Best. Hummus. EVER“

“This is a great place for healthy food. Plenty of tables to eat at with friends. Customize your burrito, bowl, or other options. Large portions and tasty sides. Order ahead online to avoid parking issues or do like I always do, walk there.“

“I had a great experience at Five Guys in Richmond, VA. The restaurant was very clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and welcoming as soon as we walked in. Our order was taken quickly and the service was fast. The food came out fresh and exactly as ordered. The burgers were delicious and the fries were hot and flavorful. Even though it was busy, the team worked efficiently and kept everything moving smoothly. The dining area and tables were kept clean throughout our visit. It’s always nice to see a place that takes pride in both their food and their service. I’ll definitely stop by again the next time I’m in Richmond.“

“Yum. Raising Cane's does everything right - simplicity, speed, chicken, and toast. Despite being right by the Diamond this is our go-to Cane's, it's always pretty fast and the quality is excellent. Game days can get a little slower but not by much. Just beware - turning into the drive through lanes is harrowing since it's literally RIGHT AWAY after turning into the parking lot, so some due caution is necessary to make sure you don't end up t-boned by a car coming from Toast or rear-ended by a car also turning in.“

“Took the dog to the pump road dog park today. When leaving I decided to go to the Arby's there in short pump to grab lunch. Pulling up to the drive through I asked "do you guys still have the BLT" knowing it was a seasonal thing. The reply came "It's not on the menu anymore but we can sure still make you one. How many slices of bacon do you want on it ?" Long story short I got my BLT Thanks to them for a great job ......“

“I highly recommend, it serves good food overall!“

“The food is really good and there Stafe are very friendly“

“This is really a Great place to eat. The food is always hot, the fried okra is the best i have Ever had ! The hush puppies are not overly oily & Much better than any higher end restaurant in OBX NC. They have broiled fish choices & good coleslaw. With the specials the price is very reasonable.. I need to come here more often !“

“I love them so much!!! Their food is awesome and their staff are very friendly. They have great milkshakes too! 😋“

“DaVinci Pizza in Richmond is an absolute gem! The pizza is always fresh, hot, and bursting with flavor — the crust perfectly crisp yet soft inside, the sauce rich and savory, and the toppings incredibly fresh. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the service is fast without ever sacrificing quality. Whether you dine in or take out, every bite feels crafted with care. Easily one of the best pizza spots in Richmond — highly recommended!“

“BEST FISH SANDWICH E V E R!!!!!!!!!! And just had one today...for the first time. McD's and BK are so sad in comparison. FANS for life!!!!“

“I was at the end of a 13-hour shift. I placed a DoorDash pickup order because it was past 8pm and I didn’t have time to cook anything for dinner. The DD app said my order would take 11 minutes but I showed up a little early so the employees asked me to come back thru the drive-thru in a couple more minutes (unusual to allow DoorDash orders to be picked up in drive-thru at all). they saw me and understood I was exhausted. I went and parked out front, to wait to go around the drive-thru again in a few mins. The employees advocated for me and the shift manager herself brought me my order outside directly. I was so grateful to all of them, good considerate people. Thankful 🙏🏻 — she was so kind to me.“

“I work at a nearby building and come here for breakfast/lunch many times a week (not the healthiest I know I’m working on meal prepping okay lol) and they’re always kind and courteous and I never really have issues. Today I placed a pick up order for my breakfast and someone apparently just took it before I got in. Even though I came after breakfast had ended they did their very best to make sure I got the meal I ordered anyway and took the time to mend the situation even in a clearly very busy time. Decided they earned this review for that haha“

“Five guys on Forest Hill Ave. The really tall manager, he is very professional and friendly. I love eating here, the staff at night is always working hard and taking care of customers going above and beyond. I will definitely be back for more. Only con I would say is the price is a little high. But, its, worth it. Food tastes great everytime.“

“I’m pregnant and have a one year-old and there was a Chick-fil-A staff meeting going on at a nearby. An employee left her meeting to help me get a highchair and even set up the spot for my toddler. Service is always above and beyond.“

“I had visited this place while passing through Virginia for work. The food was excellent and would definitely eat there again if I'm in town.“

“I have a severe gluten allergy and ordered my food at a very super busy time and Keith from the store jumped up immediately and made sure it stayed gluten free. As someone who travels for a living this made me feel so safe since my entire bill of health is based on this allergy. Being able to find somewhere like this while traveling and someone like Keith makes a world of difference and I wish every person with an allergy or with celiac can find someone like Keith. He needs to be promoted!!!“

“I always have a great experience at this place. The team is always friendly, welcoming, and fast with the service. My food is consistently fresh and the restaurant is always clean and organized. They really make customers feel appreciated every time. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat!“

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! We went through the drive-thru around 8:30pm. ALL of the employees were spot on! Friendly. Polite. Informative. VERY patient! And my boyfriend JUST said, VERY NICE. WE TRULY ENJOYED EVERYTHING! The brisket bacon flatbread is to die for, just so you know!! We really felt like they cared. Especially cared about making our food right. THANK YOU!! GREAT TEAM!!👍🏻👏🏻😊“

“Nicest Arbys I've ever been in. The food was excellent Staff friendly. I loved the Brunswick Stew.“

“This Chic-fil-A is located in Chippenham hospital. The service is great. The staff is always friendly, the place is always clean and our food always hot. This is my go to when I don't feel like going all the way to the Forest Hill location.“

“The workers were very nice and the food was exactly as expected for a fast meal. I deducted one star because it could've been a little cleaner. The trays the food was served on were dirty and the restaurant just seemed in need of a thorough cleaning.“

“Just got my order and they said it would be here at 11:52 and it's 11:41... pizza is cooked perfectly as are the breadsticks!! Thank you pizzahut“

“Amazing subs. Wawa is pretty much my favorite restaurant right now. They're dope and the workers are always really nice, and it's super busy, so you know basically everyone loves them. They taking over and doin a good business. Hells yeah“

“My partner and I came out tonight around 10:45 for comfort food from the drive thru, and when I tell you we both got the best trays we've ever had you best believe it. Guy running the window said my pleasure and it made us giggle some too“

“I like this JM Subs but sometimes I wish the place was a little larger. You constantly have to be looking around before you move so you don't bump into someone. But the food is fresh and tasty every time. I also love they have sweet peppers.“

“This is the only place where I found chicken livers on the menu and they are delicious!“

“Very fast and everything was right.“

“The staff was super friendly. They were training someone new in the kitchen, so the food took a little longer, but they were very nice about explaining the situation and even gave us a free shake for the inconvenience. They were truly wonderful.“

“Tacos de lengua, son los mejores y la calidad está muy buena.“

“Italian coffee and Espresso machines with experience and professionalism, commercial and for home, traditional and super automatic.“

“Had an amazing visit today to my local subway. April with the pink hair was helpful, kind and fast! She made my experience from the time I walked through the door to the time I left pleasant. The bathrooms were very clean and well taken care of. I can’t wait to come back. Thanks April!“

“Been Going to Albert Pizzeria since the Glory Days! A Southside Staple where You can get a Pretty Pie like This‼️“

“It was our day! lol 😂 We got free subs!“

“I pulled in 5 mins before closing and didnt even realize. Ordered 3 items. The gentlemen informed me very nicely they were waiting on it to cook cause they are closing in 5 mins. I work in the food industry so I immediately apologized. I know how it is. He was so nice and sweet tho. Told me it was just fine. And the food was obviously fire. I have really bad anxiety so he definitely made it a nice experience for me even tho I was that one customer that gotta roll thru 5 mins to close. Im sorry again. Yall are great tho ❤️“

“NICE GOOD FOOD on the menu“

“Definitely set the standards for the fastfood industry. Never a long wait.
Customer service is as always the best a customer can ask for. The entire staff always professional and polite. Special thanks to Don and
Ms B at the front counter“
