35 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Columbia

“Excellent service! The manager here caught us being overcharged accidentally by a new employee. We also noticed a very kind young man politely collecting trash and unused trays. The food was terrific. Good burgers and the fries were done perfectly. We usually like Freddy's, but this one is better than most!! Very clean!!“

“We have always loved Chick-fil-A. My daughter is working there now and management, and everyone are wonderful. Sadly, I’ve heard a few stories of incredibly rude and disrespectful customers, which happens everywhere, and it’s so discouraging to hear the rudeness and disrespect from horrible customers. So I wanted to say thank you and I think you all are wonderful managers, owners, and always been delicious, clean, safe with food, etc. 🐔❤️“

“A more delicious version of freddy’s.“

“I enjoyed this place, a small drive up sit in your vehicle and get some good food and great rootbeer float. If looking for something new or new to the area, I recommend stopping in. I ordered the chili dog and chili cheese fries with a root beer float. They have a jib hamburger that's like a sloppy Joe, pretty good, and several other options worth giving it a try. Just a heads up, make sure to take cash, but the sign said local checks are OK. The building is on the back side of the street, so you might miss it if you are going down the main street. Just informational. Service was great, and the chili and rootbeer is homemade, I believe the lady informed me.“

“A Great Burger and Fries“

“Nice place to eat !! You get served fast !!“

“Why did you guys switch to coke products? Very disappointed.“

“Love Jersey Mike Subs! I have celiac (a severe gluten allergy). We stopped in this location on the way to and from visiting family. Each time the staff was amazing and accommodated my gluten allergy like professional with no questions! Having celiac disease it is very hard for me to eat out, Jersey Mikes continues to be a very safe place for me to eat!! Thank you for taking gluten allergies seriously and being understanding!!!“

“The staff was super kind and the store is clean. The food was good too.
The burger was missing the extra patties and they made us a new one but threw away the one that was not made right.
We just thought that was a waste of product.“

“Stopped in here for a quick bite and the whole experience was wonderful. The food was on point. Fresh cut fries and subs were perfection. The service was friendly and upbeat. I believe the manager came around and gave us a free cookie to try. The prices were totally reasonable for the amount of food you get. Will definitely be going back.“

“at approximately 5:40 p.m. today I was met with a level of professionalism and courtesy that I did not expect from Sonic Drive-In. a young man with a nose ring to have been the politest and most professional employee I have ever dealt with at a chain restaurant. they made the experience absolutely pleasant and I will for sure be back. having worked just short of corporate management in a large box store, this is the type of thing that shows me someone belongs in management. the food was hot and served quickly and to the letter of instructions. well done.“

“Fast service and friendly people!! Best ever!! Spot on!!! My family and I were very satisfied.“

“I usually only eat the crunchy beef tacos and some tater tots with them every once in a while, but they’ve never failed me. The tacos have always been fresh and good. I usually dine in when I eat there so the tacos don’t have time to get soft.

I prefer their tacos over Taco Bell on any day.

There’s plenty of lettuce. Plenty of cheese, sauce comes on them plenty of meat, fresh crunchy tacos, all the time!
It’s made right in front of you.
The store is clean.
The people are always nice to me!!!
And the lady that usually works in there with the long hair is extremely nice to me all the time. I appreciate you, thank you very much.!!!“

“This is the best McDonald’s in town they actually take your order when you are standing at the counter then they actually give you your food goo and hot just the way you ordered it!! Some other McD’s don’t understand the process thank you all very much“

“yesssssss sssssssssssssss“

“Great Reuben sandwich for St Paddy’s Day! Also wonderful Shamrock Shake.“

“We went through the drive-through and the person taking our order was courteous and thorough. He repeated our order back to us and asked for any sauces. Our order was ready as soon as we pulled up to the window and everything was delicious! The new fries are perfectly crispy and full of flavor. We were also able to get a double cheeseburger, upgrade to a large fry, and a chocolate shake for $13. Great experience!“

“Best Sonic I’ve ever been too. Missy got all the items we ordered, delivered our food flawlessly (though I didn’t park very well for her to be able too she still did) and she came and check on us to make sure everything was correct and if we needed anything!! I have never been checked on with fast food after my food was delivered so that was an experience I needed to leave a review about. Definitely will be back and I hope everyone gets Missy like my family did she’s a gem!“

“Definitely the best run Taco Bell of the six in Columbia! I’ve been to all of them. The staff here is super nice, the restaurant is very clean, and the clientele are pleasant. They really do an excellent job making the food and it’s a very enjoyable and thrifty place to get a great meal. Don’t get the negative reviews at all, I eat here at least once a week and it’s consistently terrific.“

“It's the closest Arby's to me that still sells the meat-mountain and they made it flawlessly it literally one of the best put together ones that I've ever been served. And it was all very flavorful and the steak bites were extra delicious“

“Oscar was very friendly when he greeted us and took our order. The rest of the staff were also friendly and helpful with our order/requests for additional items - forks, knife, and to go bag. Our food was made fairly quickly and it was delicious.“

“Hi! I have seniors graduating from Rock Bridge High School this year. They have eaten at your establishment many many evenings for the four years of their high school career... thank you for that! Next week is senior week. Wondering if you can do anything special for those seniors coming in if they show their Student id or something? And/ or give them a shout out on your sign ? Thanks for your time Dawn Orr“

“Great Service, great staff, great food. 🍟🍔“

“So the other night I order for delivery, and there was some missing items and very cold food when it got delivered. I scanned the bar code on the receipt and filled it out, nothing out of the norm, but what was different the other times is the called me that night and offer to take care of the problem. I hesitate to take the offer but im glad I did, they were very nice and friendly when I came in the next day“

“Just moved here and stopped by for lunch. This was one of the cleanest subways I’ve ever been in and the lady behind the counter was amazing. Her name was Nicole. Thank you Nicole!! She greeted everyone genuinely warm and the way that she did things was efficient, quick and clean. Really appreciated her cleanliness when handling food vs money.“
