42 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Rapid City

“I love this place, my kids love it, I love it, it is overall just a great place to be. If I were to recommend a smoothie place, it would be this. The service is great and I am treated with respect, the food and smoothies are amazing, and there is a soft sound playing while you order and eat. Love it and would recommend.“

“Very delicious food, fast service. I would recommend this place 💯😎👍“

“Ordered online and there must have been 10 orders in line and 10 online. I was impressed with the 2 young men working hot side and how they handled not only the orders but also the long line of folks waiting. Pizza was great, service was amazing.“

“I have to give all stars for Blaze pizza! Such a good place to grab a bite to eat with friends or family or solo yolo. 👌🏻 Pizza is good and custom made to your liking. You can get vegan or dietary options. Salads are healthy and yummy. The drinks are fire. Its a good vibes and customer service is on point.“

“My wife is Celiac. After having a burger with a GF bun she had absolutely no stomach issues. Could tell they go the extra steps to make sure there was no contamination or cross contamination. Would eat here again. Both her food and mine was one of the best if not the best burger from a fast food place we have ever had.“

“This is the Culver's that started the obsession. Stumbled across this place in 2017 and loved it. Don't have these places in Mid Atlantic/Northeast where we live and vacation a lot. Look for a Culver's everywhere we go we love it so much. This location no exception. Great food and Midwest hospitality. Love it.“

“The amount of ice cream in the peanut butter parfait was less than any other DQ I’ve visited. That was disappointing. It barely exceeded the top of the plastic parfait cup! The heath blizzard was good though. Get a blizzard if you go here.“

“Great quality food!! Always Fresh!“

“I want to give a huge huge shout out to the Anthony Burton at the DQ in rapid city. We were eating close to closing time and in a hurry to get the kids back to the hotel I left my purse In the lobby. He contacted me and made sure I got my purse. I really really appreciate it and want to make sure he gets the shout out he deserves!!!!! Not many people out there these days that are honest like this!!!! Thank you so much Anthony!“

“Love Q. My only concern is the chips have changed over the last couple of years. Even asked an employee and she didn't agree. They use to be light, crispy with a hint of lime . They have a few of those mixed in, but for the most part they are the opposite, thick and pretty much tasteless. They had the good ones for Cinco de Mayo! They were soo good!“

“My place also Verrrry good“

“I've had primarily positive experiences with this location. There was one time when they made some mistakes with my delivery order, but they were very apologetic, accommodating and so quick to fix it. Services is always friendly and fast. Food always hot and good.“

“Great food!! First time at a Jersey Mike’s !“

“Taco John's is THEE best fast food restaurant hands down period end of story!

I stopped in for a quick dinner. I remember the other location of this place before it was moved and remodeled down the road. I have a wonderful loving history with Taco John’s. Here is my review:

I ALWAYS get the crunchy hard shell tacos, they are so good, especially fresh from the makeline and immediately in your mouth. If you wait too long, the shell loses its crunch, although the flavor is still amazing! The combination of the ground beef, the sauce, and the cheddar cheese is a great balance for this brand. Please don’t change your process because the food is king here!

On this particular visit, they did skimp on the lettuce, and my tacos were half full, I still enjoyed the food and did not let anyone know about the issue. I’ll be back… see you then!“

“I have a child with food allergies. The servers did not change their gloves while handling multiple plates . The lettuce was cross contaminated with the cheese because there were not mindful. They seemed visibly annoyed when I ask them to change their gloves.“

“It’s a good McDonald’s, with good, fast service and kind people. They rarely get orders wrong and get them out quickly. The drive thru is fast even when they’re busy. Inside the pace is slower but that’s to be expected if you’re dining in.“

“Always the best pizzas. Even our one minor issue was remedied full circle & then some. We’ve also had delivery a few times with Harold? I think that’s his name. The most friendly guy-and always sincere and quick service. Always pleased with this location.“

“I like the e.north store good food and nice atmosphere Jenna is a very attentive manager“

“Great food. Friendly fast service. Outdoor seating.“

“Awesome speedy service, really nice delivery person and excellent customer service. I forgot to ask for utensils and plates and soooo many restaurants don’t send one even when you are ordering from a motel room and these guys did! Food was good too.“

“I’m just curious if they will bring the chicken selects to this location“

“I have to say that the service tonight was outstanding. We went straight for the self kiosk. To my surprise the cashier offered to help us personally instead. I was shocked. In this day and age nobody helps everything is electronic. The food was also made correctly despite modifications and very fresh. Very impressed.“

“I’ve been going to this Taco Johns for over 10 years. New Employees hired made a mistake in my order understanding they are in their first couple days of employment. Lisa the general manager was very understanding and didn’t jump to any excuses. She was very kind and helpful. 100% will return and continue to be a valued customer!!“

“Every time we've been to this location our food has been hot, fresh, and just what you'd expect it to be. Their employees are always friendly but its easier now to order through the screen at every location, which sometimes feels a little impersonal when you walk in. But no complaints on how friendly the employees have been. This is our go to location when we come to Rapid City.“

“Athena is a great asset to your team! My kiddo and I just came by for his free snack shake from school & she was just the absolutely sweetest thing to him. He was so excited he wanted to order it himself, so I let him and she was just so friendly and responsive to him it melted my heart. She put a big ole smile on his face tonight. Thank you for being such an awesome soul Athena, from one grateful mama ☺️“

“The food here was absolutely amazing. My husband and I really enjoyed our experience here. We always have lunch before driving thru the Black Hills. Keep up the great work. We will definitely come back to this location the next time we're in Rapid City.“

“The mushroom is really tasty. very clean and Greta service.“

“Nice service great food will come again“

“Great burgers and great sides! Staff is fantastic! This is our go to place when we eat out. Highly recommend!“

“This certain arbys is always friendly. Fast and good food. But as of 11/10/25. I walked in to eat inside. And the dining area was disgusting. Sticking to your shoes. Food on the floor. Sticky chairs. Trash by fountain drinks. And sticky doors. Maybe they are short on help. But usually this place is sparkling clean. And smells clean. Just not today. Maybe its new manager? I remember couple years ago a nice older lady was on her hands and knees scrubing the doors when it was only 10° outside. She said she hated to see smudged doors. Bless her heart. The place always was super clean because of her i think. But, otherwise Food was still good and service was good. Just needed major janitor work. Clorax disinfecting time. 😇 Just putting this out to maybe let staff know it was gross inside.“

“I have always been happy with the food from A&W Restaurant. I was not impressed with the loud noises made by the crew on a recent Sunday. It was a very young crew and they had loud music playing, and loud voices and some sort of banging noise was heard which was very loud and noisy. I had to ask them to wipe down the table I wanted to use. I was the only customer at the time.“

“My sister& I dined there 4 days ago and the food was the best Taco Bell we BOTH ever had! Neither of us could remember a time it was better! And we've lived here all our lives! No joke! Plus, the atmosphere was cool as well! The workers were all laid back but at the same time professional! BEST TACO BELL IN TOWN!!!“

“this place made me feel super immersed. I felt as if I was in the Regular Show. Which in fact was pretty sigma. I loved the service Mordecai gave me, I could hear Rigby in the back giving great management. overall impressed with the work force and I think this contributes to the success of the working class of America. Would Taco my John again!“

“Parking lot is a disaster to navigate. Designer/developer on this project during the construction phase obviously didn't do his/her homework on potential traffic flow pitfalls and probably has never eaten here to experience the nonsense firsthand....do better....... otherwise, have always had quick service and good fresh food.“

“We came in late and the crew was happy to take our order, even though it was close to closing time. Quintin took our order, ensured everything was correct and we had our fresh food quickly. The food tasted great and I definitely recommend this A&W.“

“I never really eat at Arby's, but found this to be convenient on the way to our destination. The staff at the Rapid City location was amazing. They were very friendly, made eye contact and made you feel like an actual customer. The food is what you expect it to be, the staff at this location is what makes them different.“

“So….in 2019 was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. lost 52 pounds in less than 2 months. The cancer center cut it all out saving life. But that was 1/2 the battle. Cancer had destroyed the digestive system, couldn't eat food without getting extremely sick. 3 years after surgery, was still struggling with eating, wife suggested a radical idea. Jimmy John's. It sounds crazy, but was able to hold it down…full recovery had finally started. Jimmy John's helped with recovery. The sandwiches are always perfect. Wish them all the best for making sure every order is perfect as they understood the situation and cared far more than necessary. Thank you for life. Thanks, Katy.

How does one thank a restaurant concerned with helping one survive cancer? Will have this genetic cancer for life. Last year the Cancer returned permanently disabling, and Jimmy John’s is still unknowingly taking care. 🙏😞😎.“

“Literally ate a life changing sandwich here. I was on a trip out of town from Nebraska and ate lunch here 3/21/26 11:30AM. Whoever was making the sandwiches that day did a superb job. I believe I got the #9 italian night club, giant. The quality and freshness of all the veggies were great. The meat was cooked fresh and hot, seasoned well and juicy. The bun was warm with a soft inside, and thin crust. And it was drowning in vinegar, just how i like it.

This was truly a sight to behold, not to mention the girl at the register was super nice and patient. The place started to fill up but we didn’t have to wait an eternity despite our large order. i ate half when we got it and the other half maybe 45 minutes later and it was just as good. When i tell you this is the best sandwich I’ve ever had I mean it, the workers that day deserve an award for creating miracles🤣

I swear I’m not making any of this up lol, this happened last month and I had to make my first review ever for this one👌“

“Fast friendly service ! 👍🏽“

“If I could give this place 10 stars I would! The Dairy Queen in the mall is one of the cleanest that I’ve been in and each time I’ve been in there (and believe me, I’m there a LOT) the staff has been nothing but kind to me! The only bad experience I’ve had at this location has been with bad workers but thankfully the rotten ones don’t seem to last long 😉. I (begrudgingly) remember one lady who worked there for while (very nasty to me.. some i name or whatnot) even her negativity couldn’t keep this Dairy Queen crew down 🙂. Keep up the fantastic work you guys!“

“A series of mediocre experiences had put me off of Subway for a while, but I must rave on the curly-haired young man working at this store this afternoon who made me one of the best footlongs I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Usually I save half for another day, but it was so good I had to eat it all up. Sorry I don't have a name for the gentleman, but I do have sincere thanks and am encouraged to visit this store again very soon.“
