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!!“

“The second best! Love the chill and the Huckleberry malt is orgasmically good lol 😆 I'm back!
I'm taking you up on that malt and other items. Just bring me a menu, paper and pen😃. I will be here at 10:30 for this car meet! I want pics 📸 I showed. Canceled 😞“

“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.“

“Hubby and I went to Taco Vado for the first time last night and it did not disappoint! We happened to go on their first night of having live music, which was such a fun surprise — and the singer was fantastic! I had the barbacoa burrito while my husband got the barbacoa bowl, and both were absolutely delicious. Their cebollita slaw was amazing and such a standout. We finished the night with the tres leches cake, which was heavenly. Can’t wait to go back!“

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

“Super bacon on a hoagie was delicious“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came here for the first time after placing a online order 😋 for under 20 bucks we got 2 tacos 2 burritos a soda, potatoe oles & a side of cheese sauce. I now know where to get tater tots for my hubby ! They have the crispiest fried tatters we have had since moving to the area almost a year ago, it was ready for pick up in like 2 minutes the longest wait was while driving & in the drive thru - if your in a rush I would order online and pick up inside 😀“

“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!“

“The people who work here are phenomenal.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“A fantastic spot for fresh and healthy food! The ingredients taste clean and flavorful, and there are plenty of great vegan and gluten-free options. The salads and bowls are well-portioned and customizable, which is a big plus.
The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the cozy, earthy vibe makes it a nice place to relax and enjoy a meal. Pricing is reasonable for the quality you get.
Overall, a great go-to place for nutritious and satisfying food. Highly recommended! 🌿“

“Full marks.

**Edit: 5 - 18 - 2026.

Significant improvements due to the general goodness of other staff.

I used to always love Mods. More and more mistakes and the food at this particular Mod Pizza started not to taste as good. They also really need to change some of their music selection. Music should not imply insults. That's a very unfriendly atmosphere.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!.“

“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.“

“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!“

“It is downtown need , I say , more if you know , spokane , then you know , damn town kind of a pain to get to pending on which way you're coming from , but the food was good , the people we're pretty nice and it wasn't very crowded“

“Now this is the kind of service I remember Zips Drive in having. Happy employees loving what they do. Fresh food that tastes amazing. Ice cold tarter sauce for dipping my fish and chips dinner in.

Let me tell you these guys went above and beyond to make sure my food was fresh, I got a fair price, the restaurant was spotless, and my experience was 5 stars all day.

This is the only Zips Drive In I will ever recommend you going to wheather youre a local or visiting from out of town. Believe me when I say youll leave full, happy that service, prices, cleanliness, and food were all amazing. Family friendly. Get a shake to go with your meal or go all out and get the hurricane. I cannot recommend these guys enough. Thanks management and crew for everything.“

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

“Greatest burgers in town.“

“I always order a Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream Cake for my Wife every Year. It is Her Favorite and now a tradition for us.

They will always get my Business! ❤️“

“They are amazing, every Time me and my boyfriend go there it’s very clean, and the workers are very nice, in all places, especially a&w and the food is amazing there the cheese curds are my favorite and there always so hot and stchrechy cheese love and will keep going here!“

“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!“

“You guys are the best. The assistant manager is the best. Young female mid 20s blond hair. I forgot her name. She is a huge reason why I go dine there. Everyone is is super friendly too. My thanks to yall at Wendy's“

“Always fast service and delicious food! Couldn’t have asked for more friendly people.“

“Great burgers, Santa Fe Chicken“

“I like coming in here and getting the blizzard. it's a real treat for myself. And I get a hamburger while I'm here too so my weight goes up. I like the Oreo blizzard. but my all-time favorite is the peanut buster parfait I just love all the chocolate smothered in there and it's hot with peanuts and softer ice cream. and the fries are good the staff was friendly helpful courteous and professional. I will be back time and time again. I like how you can sit outside.“

“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!!“

“We went here last night during dinner rush and let me tell you this team was on point. Between drive through, lobby and food delivery orders. They were swamped but still got orders out as fast as humanely possible with great customer service. Flawless victory.“

“In my opinion this is one of the best Wendy's locations in Spokane.why;because the food is always good and the service is always excellent and some employees make it even more enjoyable and that is what makes me keep coming back. Peggy is one of the best ever!and Chase is another .it feels good having good service when ur having lunch time lunch time blues.“

“amazing food. kind of expensive but definitely worth it. we got the jalapeno chicken sandwiches and every was cooked perfectly. nice customer service also! we love Wendy's on Argonne“

“love this place! food is always hot and fresh!“

“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.”“
