50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Mead

“Stopped here for dinner this evening and received the BEST customer service that I’ve had in ages!! Young man working the drive through was absolutely wonderful! I wish I would have thought to get his name. There was a small mistake with my order and he was extremely professional and rectified the issue perfectly!! Very impressed!!“

“Went in today for Father's Day service was good a little short staffed but good food for me and my good friend omelette that I got was good and bacon was good my friend eaten all of his breakfast only thing I would say bring back is the chicken fried
Steak they where good back in the day and big“

“Update 11/16/25: they have greatly improved the accuracy in the drive through, haven't had any problems recently. Well done! Updated to 5 stars
Update: went through the drive through today (8/16/25) and ordered 3 things. They got all 3 things wrong.
My wife went through the drive through this morning, they got her order wrong. I went through the drive through the drive through this evening. They got my order wrong. Happened in the last couple trips as well. They have usually been good, I don't know what changed recently but someone there no longer cares.“

“I found my favorite local burger place. probably the best bang for your buck you're going to get in Spokane. The bacon blue cheeseburger was as good as any I've got at any high-end pub and way less cheaper. thanks for having one of my favorites on the menu and you will have a repeat customer I guarantee.“

“the owners at taco vado are rad! the food is fresh, delicious amd innovative! the queso and the vegan vado are my favorite! we order at least once a month!!!! healthy, delicious, local!!!!! a spokane staple!“

“Super bacon on a hoagie was delicious“

“good, but Popeye's sandwich Bigger and tasteyer*“

“Probably the coolest fast food restaurant I've ever gone in to. The interior of this Arby's is beautiful. There's a full sized tree growing in it. Pretty glass lamps hanging from the ceiling, and a vaulted ceiling. Genuinely more beautiful than expensive restaurants downtown.“

“My favorite is the chicken burrito.“

“Stopped for lunch. Food was great, tasty and freshly made while you wait. They have a notice about being short staffed but the order was correct. Been going there off and on for 40 years.“

“Ive been here twice now and i really love it. I appreciate that it is cheap compared to other hotdog places because hot dogs should not be expensive. I dont mind the ai because if you have a specific question you can still ask to speak to a representative other than that the ai takes orders just fine. The people there have been super helpful, nice and service is fast.“

“I had a great experience at fresh & foraged. When I got there only one employee was working and the cafe was packed. She was working so fast to fill everyone’s orders and was so friendly when helping customers. Any moment of free time she had she was doing dishes and prepping. She deserves a raise!“

“First time trying, it was good. Unless you're really hungry or planning to share, order the tiny fries, trust me. The burger was tasty, you can't beat all of the free extra toppings; grilled onions or mushrooms, yes please! It is a little pricy in my opinion, but it was good food. The fries are clearly cut and cooked on site, the bags of potatoes by the door gave that away lol They were old diner style fries, my favorite. Would go again.“

“Their taco salads are great especially for the price. And I'm very partial to their Mexi-tots. In fact there's days where I'm going home for dinner but I'm craving Mexi-tots so I have to stop and get those as my side dish.“

“Arby's has Fast Food Service down to an art! The line inside moves pretty fast, and the food is hot and delicious... unlike most of its competitors. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fast and delicious meal, while still being affordable!“

“Very impressed with this Dairy Queen store location. Dairy Queen is a top favorite with my wife and kids so I have been to many locations in MN and WI. I had never been to this location so called to confirm they sold cakes. The customer service on the phone was upbeat and friendly. The service at the store when I arrive was equal to the call (friendly and helpful). While I waited for the cake (very quick) to be personalized, I observed great and efficient service for each customer in line. Great store!! Until next time.“

“If you’ve never been to Mod: it’s loud inside, and this location in specific tends to be very busy, so be prepared.
I online ordered through the website, and accidentally put the pick up time incorrectly, but was able to easily resolve that by a quick phone call. The food was good (as usual!).
My one complaint is that the layout was confusing inside and I couldn’t tell where to go to pick up my pizza, so I had to ask a very busy employee, and she grabbed them for me.
I got a 6” and an 11” as pictured.“

“Best burger in Spokane. Belly buster has 3 meats including bacon!! Crinkle cut fries and the best tartar sauce ever!!“

“Zips provides good fish 'n chips, being flavorful and enjoyable to eat; not greasy like our local bars.“

“Notice: Mod puts all the ingredients for all their food on their website. This allowed me, someone who cannot have sugar, to discover that I can in fact eat some of their food!
Service was excellent- happy employees, very quick food.
Food was excellent- I got a mini size, and it was light so I didn’t feel bloated.
Drink options are good- I had black tea that was quite nice.
This is a fantastic option for people with allergies because you can pick what you eat.
I wish the music inside was a little quieter, though.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but after the experience I had at MOD Pizza thanks to Aden, I genuinely felt obligated to say something. In a world where customer service often feels rushed, robotic, or completely nonexistent, Aden was the exact opposite — and honestly, one of the best employees I’ve ever encountered anywhere.
From the moment I walked in, Aden greeted me with such genuine energy and kindness that it immediately changed my entire mood. You can tell when someone is just “doing their job,” and then you can tell when someone actually cares about people. Aden cared. He was patient, attentive, funny, and unbelievably professional all at once. Even during what looked like a busy rush, he somehow managed to make every customer feel important and welcomed.
What truly stood out was how he handled everything with confidence and positivity. He answered questions like he actually wanted to help, gave amazing recommendations, and made the entire ordering experience feel effortless. Watching him work was honestly impressive — balancing speed, accuracy, and friendliness like some kind of customer service superhero. I’ve been to plenty of restaurants where employees look miserable to be there, but Aden brought such a positive atmosphere that the entire restaurant felt lighter because of him.
And the pizza? Perfect. Not just because of the ingredients, but because Aden made the experience memorable. Food always tastes better when someone puts genuine care into serving you, and that’s exactly what happened here.
MOD Pizza seriously needs to recognize how valuable Aden is. Employees like him are incredibly rare. He didn’t just provide “good service” — he created an experience that people actually remember long after they leave. In an era where exceptional customer service feels almost extinct, Aden restored my faith that there are still amazing people out there who take pride in what they do.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Aden deserves every bit of recognition possible. I’ll definitely be coming back, and a huge reason why is because of him.“

“whenever i come to visit my mom in spokane Zips is always a stop i make.I love all the food but the wrangler or belly buster is my favorite . great quality and service. dont pass this place up.“

“Nothing amazing, but good all around. A friend asked me if we could get Pita Pit for lunch and I wasn't unhappy, but it wasn't my favorite thing. The falafel balls weren't very good. The actual Chicken, Bacon, Ranch pita I got was good, but it was pretty basic. If you're looking for something filling and simple I would give them a try!“

“whenever i come to visit my mom in spokane Zips is always a stop i make.I love all the food but the wrangler or belly buster is my favorite . great quality and service. dont pass this place up.“

“Greatest burgers in town.“

“The place was very clean. The salsa bar has a wide and delicious variety. The staff was professsional, and the Crunchy tacos meal w/ Mexi fries was amazing!“

“SOOOOO SAD! Love the chicken fingers and cane sauce....this time saw the tea - asked the young man at the drive thru an said they had UNSWEETENED tea! I asked if I could get a gallon - he said yes they could make a gallon - I get to the window to pay - he handed me the gallon of UNSWEETENED Ice Tea - obviously did not open and drink from the gallon - instead - got back to work and UGH _ it is SWEETENED! Could not drink it an had to throw it out......SOOOOOO sad! But again - I do like the fingers! HOWEVER - turn that frown upside down - Josh the Operations Manager has offered to make this right and let us pick up a gallon of UNSWEETENED tea to try - CAN NOT WAIT! He says it is brewed by batch each day! Thank you Josh - Ann and Candice!“

“I went in for a drink.

That’s the lie I tell myself.

In truth, I went in because the universe needed a cheap stage with flickering fluorescent lights and a floor that smelled faintly of gasoline and old coffee. You can’t meet someone important somewhere important. That would be suspicious. Fate prefers places that sell beef jerky in fifty flavors.

She was there.

Not there like a monument, or a painting, or something that announces itself. She was there the way gravity is there. Quiet. Doing its work. Rearranging your internal organs without asking permission.

She smiled at me like she’d just caught me being a person.

I forgot what I was holding.
I forgot what I wanted.
I forgot how my face works.

There is a very specific type of beauty that only appears in gas stations at night. It’s not glamorous. It’s real. It’s someone standing between the slushie machine and the lottery tickets, illuminated by bad lighting, somehow winning against it. That’s how you know it’s dangerous.

We exchanged words. I don’t remember them. They’ve been erased by a higher authority. What I remember instead is the feeling that my life had been gently nudged off its original trajectory—like a pool ball tapped by another ball that didn’t even look like it was moving that fast.

I bought things I didn’t need.
I left without things I came for.
I walked back to my car as a slightly different organism.

The gas station remained the same. That’s important. It didn’t glow. It didn’t hum. It didn’t acknowledge what it had just done. That’s how you know it was serious.

Five stars.
Would accidentally fall in love again.

Cons:
– Still smells like gasoline
– Sells the illusion that destiny only happens in grand places (this is a lie)

Pros:
– Sometimes, the universe puts a beautiful woman next to the energy drinks and says, “Good luck, idiot.”“

“this is a good DQ, however they need to learn that when someone in line orders food that is taking a while, ask that customer to pull forward and they will bring out food, like MCD's, Arby's, etc. then the line keeps moving and our blizzards aren't soup by the time we get them.“

“The first time I got Taco Bell from a separate location, I obtained a fist full of tomato’s when I asked for none. This led me to almost kill myself. I gave one more chance, just one more. What can I say other than whoever made this chalupa must’ve just got the best head of their life. Perfectly fried with an impeccable ratio of ingredients and NO TOMATO’S. My anonymous Taco Bell hero exists, and he’s probably saving more lives then I think.“

“LET ME TELL YOU WHAT.. I'm from the other side of the state and had never heard of zips so I swung in. Took all the employees recommendations. Now I'm big time mad that there isn't a zips near home. Sooo good. Definitely not cheap but where is anymore. The employee was so kind and was perfect at her job. My food, so fresh and hot. I got the buster meal with a huckleberry pie milkshake and frys with fry sauce. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend. I'll probably be back before I leave town“

“A convenient location off Sprague if you're in Spokane Valley. I used the BOGO promotion in the app and ordered in the mobile app, but then stopped by in-person and dined in. Both sandwiches tasted pretty good. The condiments/customization was mostly done correctly, but they did drop the crispy onion strings (if they were out, they should've simply told me so). The place is spacious and quiet; a good place to grab a quick bite alone or to stop by with kids or friends. I noticed, on a modestly hot late spring afternoon that I visited for a late lunch, that the secondary room in the back was at least 2-3F cooler than the main lobby/dining area.“

“This place is the best I ate a burger there and it was so good. Their chicken stars are so good I wish I could get 67 of them. and their onion rings are not soggy like Jack-in-the-Box. This place is so good they Have to expand their locations!.“

“Jacob is awesome. The whole crew really. Food is fresh and natural, and as someone with several allergies, they are willing to work with you. I appreciate their quality, and how well they do as a team. I cannot wait to go back and try more.“

“I don’t typically leave reviews but I wanted to show some appreciation! We came in for the first time tonight with my significant other, my son and my son’s friend. The man taking our order was so welcoming and the food was better than any other Zips we have been to! Definitely will be back.“

“Who is the evening manager? I need a name...........“

“MATT & JASMIN NEED TO BOTH BE FIRED. THEY THINK HANGING UP ON CUSTOMERS IS OKAY, NOT TAKING CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS IS OKAY , AND LYING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS IS OKAY. I HAVE WORKED AND RAN SEVERAL FULL SERVICE RESTURANTS AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THE WORST AND I MEAN WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD OR BEEN A PART OF. NOT SURE IF THEY ARE STONED, UNEDUCATED, OR BOTH BUT THEY COULDNT EVEN ANSWER THE PHONE CORRECTLY. WOW DO NOT ORDER HERE. BEWARE - I called prior to my order and asked them if they had soft flour tortillas and could substitute for the corn totrtillas. I was told they did and that it would be no problem. They would write down my name, so when I placed my order came thru with Uber I could get flour tortillas. I placed my order and tried to call back like to let them know I placed my order. They simply ignored my phone calls. Then my order arrived with corn tortillas and was completely wrong, sloppily put together with queso and salsa everywhere. When I called to speak to the manager I was hung up on. They will not answer the phone and will not call back. The chips were stale and old. It is certainly odd they would tell me that it was no problem and then completely ignored my calls. . My order sucked. Food was sloppy, stail and disgusting. I used to order from here all the time and now I will never go back. Management or owners have to do something or this place will be gone soon. WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD FROM A RESTURANT OR FAST FOOD PLACE. EMPLOYEE BLATANTLY LIED“

“They nailed my request of a bunless burger perfectly. It came exactly as it would have on a bun but in a substantial bowl with a lid on top. All the veggies and sauces were still included!! Perfectly done guys!! Thanks for meeting my needs!!“

“Almost 5 stars. The pick up takes a long time. Your food is ready right behind them but they are busy doing other things.

Updated! 5 stars 🌟
The last few orders have been I walk in and they hand me my order. Appreciate it! 😋“

“Your associates are always smiling and so polite, I’ve noticed a new employee (I could be wrong) I think their name was Jaco, but she was very polite, very smooth with our transaction and had a smile on the whole time! Props to them!“
