The Best Fast Food in Memphis

Chick-fil-A

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (124) • $

"I dine here at least 3-4 times a week either for breakfast or lunch. I usually use the mobile app to place my order. But, it doesn't matter what time of day I visit, the staff is always friendly and makes sure you have a great experience. Sometimes you can catch franchise operator, John Francisco assisting his team as well. That's true leadership!OMG! The mac-n-cheese is so yummy. I add bacon to mine to make it even more yummy. That's the Southern girl in me. Bacon makes everything better! LOL This is a delicious meal all by itself. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. I don't care what people say, Chick-fil-A delivers not only great food but great customer service."

Grillshack Fries and Burgers

★★★★★ 4.7 (88)

"We got takeout cheeseburgers here last night as it was the first place close by that was still open. Although the burgers looked small for the price they tasted very good. The fries were also very tasty, crispy, even though they were crinkle fries. I liked the fact that our togo order came in compostable containers. It looked like it would have been a cool scene to eat there but it was late and we had our toddler in the car, so takeaway it was."

Sugar Shack Drive In

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (10) • $

"Will always support this place because it's my home town. Sure it's more expensive than McDonald's but you're supporting small business and a great town. They have good ice cream, clean and great hot food too."

Zaxbys

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (20) • $

"Over salted, over priced, dirty tray, low on soda, chewy wings, and just not good.Believe it or not, but I've never tried Zaxby's. I thought it was just fried chicken, which doesn't really draw me in. I was short of time and wanted something new, so here's my first impression and my last.The menu is too small and too far away to tell anything just beyond the name of the meal. I have great vision, but I had to cut in front of the line just to see it. I only saw sandwiches, wings, and tenders but for some reason expected breasts and thighs and drums. The sampler intrigued me but I had to ask what was on it, not being able to see the tiny picture. There is a boneless, and traditional, which I ordered, that had real wings.The drink was not included. Some fast food sell a soda for 1 buck. Well double that and its still not good enough for Zaxby's. They want $2.09.Wonder why they need the nine cents. Here's what you get for $2.09. One of those fancy flavor soda machines that take forever to get your drink. Cherry coke- unavailable. Vanilla coke- unavailable. Orange coke-unavailable. Then I tried plain coke and dumped it out because the taste was way off. Finally settled on Dr. Pepper. My taste buds were out of order after the coke, but the Dr Pepper seemed ok.Then they gave me a plate on a filthy dirty tray that they couldn't even take time to wipe with a dirty rag. I didn't even want it anymore, but needed to eat and short of time. We've all done it.Chicken tenders: salt, salt, salt. It seemed to be mixed into the batter instead of added after cooking. They were hot, and seemed decent breast quality, but every bite screamed salt! The sauce couldn't even tame it.Wings: asked for hot as they get, and pretty sure they were mild. They were cooked perfectly and not overdone, but were somehow extremely chewy. My jaw got sore chewing these things.Fries: just cheap crinkle fries with loads of salt and some cheap Cajun seasoning.Texas toast: how do they screw this up? It had the weirdest strangest taste. I've had every kind of butter before, but this was not butter. Butter comes from the cream in milk. This stuff comes from some manufacturing plant. I'm sure its some kind of oil with artificial flavour and color.The worst part was that after spending $10.99 on crappy fast food, I feel ripped off and cheated. I could have been waited on at a decent restaurant for this price, and had better food. Since they want to try to be more upscale than their competitors, I left my table dirty for them to bus themselves. I paid enough not to have to clean up after myself."

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill

★★☆☆☆ 2 (10) • $

"Stopped in for lunch during a road trip, and the food was delicious! It took a long time due to staffing issues, but that was obviously beyond their control. The one funny thing was that the lobby area of the DQ was closed (it's part of a truck stop), so we had to park, go in to use the bathroom, come back out into the car to drive through the drive-through, then go back and park again so we could eat! The person who took our order said "what else?" after each item, which was a delightfully helpful way of acknowledging that she had gotten each item down. I know it's a little thing, but it always feels awkward when you go through a whole list of items and you don't even know if the person on the other end is even hearing you!"

Papa Johns Pizza

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (16) • $

"I was reluctant on ordering from another pizza delivery place after a bad experience at dominos. Needless to say I am not disappointed, the food was delivered quick, my driver was nice, and the food was very good. Will definitely be ordering from here again!"

Legends Express

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (13)

"Legends Express is a great restaurant in the small town of Lawrenceburg. The food is loaded with flavor, and it's nice to support another locally owned restaurant. I ordered the brisket nachos (the brisket is a little too fatty for me) and it has a nice flavor combination! Everything tasted fresh and balanced. I ordered my toddler a chicken quesadilla and it seemed to be of good quality as well. Definitely a great choice of food if you're in Lawrence County."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (23) • $$

"This location is part of a strip mall.The line was short and the customer service was great. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and it was great. Took about 5 minutes. I could have gotten more toppings but I didn't want the sandwich to be too sloppy."

Firehouse Subs

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (23) • $

"Always have great service when I visit. They give you a warm welcome to Firehouse greeting"

Subway Restaurants

★★☆☆☆ 2 (14) • $

"They did a complete overhaul of this location and it looks so much nicer inside now. They managed to make more room for seating without taking up more room.The staff was on it. Knocked out the sandwiches fast even while doing a large order for someone else at the same time.Though we only got veggie delights, everything was fresh and tasted great. Can't ask for much more."

Subway

★☆☆☆☆ 1 (4) • $

"I went there today. First, I asked for two double bacon subs. The manager put 4 pieces of bacon on each sub. I again asked for double bacon. the manager got an attitude and said this is a double bacon. (ALL other Subways have about 12 pieces. I then asked for the dressing to be put in a "to go" cup. All other Subways do this. He said he had no small cups. I went went to get a soda drink cup. I knew I had to pay for this. The manager said he would not put the dressing in the cup until I paid for the cup. I asked the women working the manager was having a bad day. She said he is always like this. If you go there, don't look to get good service from the Manager. (in case there is more than one, he is the Asian guy). I will never go back"

Firehouse Subs

★★★★☆ 3.8 (45) • $

"Took my friend visiting from out of town to Firehouse subs. I had a hook and ladder. The sandwich was very good. Service was pleasant as well. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get a pickle when ordering a medium sub. Also missing the hot sauces, I always would use the mango habanero one on the hook and ladder and it was delicious."

Firehouse Subs Shops at Goodman Crossing

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (7)

"Five stars!!! All the ways!!! Woooo. Hooo!!! I've never had a service on a level like this place gives regularly. It is truly amazing how this team works together to pull off an unbelievable and unforgettable experience. You will never forget your time spent at this Firehouse! Only thing that could make it better is if I caught fire as I got near!!!What an awesome Firehouse Subs! It is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me! Ok. That's out of the way now. This place kinda sucks bad. I hate that too. I really need it not to suck, so all that before was just a muse to raise the star count here so that hopefully, they will continue to stay somewhat busy, and hopefully hire people that can make a sandwich and hand it to me. That's all I really want in life. Make me food and hand it to me. No banter. No witty small talk at all. Hand me my damn food. My last visit went like this:I ordered in the app because the people here give no shits about listening to you at all. Tell them I have an online order at the speaker. I pull up to the window within 30 seconds. By the time I get to the window (no cars in front of me), she opens the window and is like "yes, Sir???", like wtf are you doing here. I remind her we just spoke and she scurries off. Some time goes by and I get my food. Wrong. Missing items that come with it that really kind of make the sandwich. I turn around and look in the DT window. She is looking at me, then turns around and walks away. Then she comes back and says "you are missing your au jus???" Yes. Excellent guess, almost as if you knew already. May I please have it? I say...Mind you.... No one else is still in the drive thru window along with me still. Minutes later... Some red head kid with a white boy Afro comes to the window and says, I swear to Tom Cruise, I could not make this up..."do you want your au jus??" I say please, and he gets it. It was all cold when I got home!!!! I'm slowly giving up on the Olive Branch youth. It sure does look like someone spent some decent money opening this place, just to have the local village idiots run it into the ground. Five stars all the way to the bank!I'll go to the Germantown store most likely from now on...'24 - 102/101. Not that it matters.... Memphis Yelp is slaw too"

Firehouse Subs

★★★★☆ 3.5 (33) • $

"I like Firehouse Subs ! The subs are hot, full of meat, fully dressed, the bread is perfect. It takes approximately 10 min to get your order, but they produce a very good sandwich !"

Subway Restaurants

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (4) • $

"Very clean and professional service! But it's subway right! Great free internet. Free refills. A lot of hunters in the area so fill free to give a long car horn honk in front of subway store for better service. Remember wildcats are Walnut town team."

Karin's Kustard & Hamburgers

★★★★☆ 4.3 (170) • $

"Karin's Kustard & Hamburgers is a great burger Shack that brings me back to another time with its burger shack ambiance and friendly service.The hamburgers are kind of a no-frills approach to burgers and a welcome and superior burger than those fast food burger chains.It is great to see these mom-and-pop independent burger joints are still around to remind us all that before those national burger monoliths became the norm, these independent burger joints were the place we headed to to get a burger and fries. Karin's Kustard & Hamburgers shows us how good a burger can be."

Pizza Hut

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Great service and good pizza and easy to order and easy to pick up will be back to this one"

Papa Johns Pizza

★★☆☆☆ 1.6 (54) • $

"The delivery service was decent this time, but they gave us the wrong order. We did not order a stuffed crust, but they sent one. It was slimy and gross. The gluten free pizza was burned. When will I ever learn? I doubt we will order from them again. Another Papa Johns in the area might be better than this one. We've been disappointed with them time and again. Jett's Pizza is much better. Heck, even Pizza Hut does it better."

Hunan Express

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (75)

"We've lived here over four years and regret only now discovering HunanExpress. We ordered online and used the drive through so I didn't notice if they are seating inside. We got Hunan tofu over fried rice and LoMein with tofu. Both dishes were quite similar, the biggest difference being one was over rice and one over LoMein noodles. They both were full of vegetables and somewhat milder in spice than I anticipated so I was glad I'd asked for hot chili oil on the side. Each entree was enough for two meals and under $7 each. The small cup of hot sour soup was also mild, but flavorful. All dishes were piping hot so ready to eat when we got home. We'll definitely be picking up dinner here again, especially since eating out now during the pandemic is proving difficult."

Patty's Drive Thru

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"Great food and service.You can do the buffet or order from menu.Give it a try! My husband did the buffet and I ordered cat fish!"

Dixie Castle Airways

★★★★☆ 3.7 (6)

"This establishment has stepped up there game. The food seems to be more seasoned than before. Mondays and Wednesday are the only days I will come. That's just because I like the plate lunch menu for those days. This is a locally owned business which is a pulse for me and the service is fast and good."

Bojangles

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (22)

"This crown jewel, shines bright amongst a small selection of well known places who serves up chicken dinners and combos, preparing classic favorites with quality, we can rely on since 1977. My recient visit says it all. Upon arriving to this location I took notice of their dining room & how they've taken pride in the cleanliness of the stores interior from their clean dining room area refreshment station & cashier station. As soon as I walk toward the counter ready to place my order my cashier welcomed me with a friendly attitude ready to take my order. She had really made my day giving me exactly what I ordered & didn't miss one side or piece of chicken. Everything's now perfect for a enjoyable dining experience I've experienced every time when patronizing a Bojangles. The minute I bit into my breast it was absolutely crunchy moist& perfectly spiced. Popeyes & the Colonel don't even come close. Their signature sides are absolutely to die for I always order their Mac and Cheese Mashed Potatoes and Dirty Rice. I also enjoy their biscuits over Popeye's or KFC as they don't tend to live up to my expectations or quality being Bojangles make theirs from scratch. If you're on a road trip or happen to live close by this location is always worth stopping by or pulling off the interstate for a stop. #It'sBoTimeBe sure to like them on FB and tell a friend.Dickson locationhttps://www.facebook.com/BojanglesDickson2001/Nationwide Fan Pagehttps://www.facebook.com/Bojangles/"

Firehouse Subs

★★★★☆ 3.7 (55) • $

"Their subs are always very fresh and tasty. The steaks is fantastic. Italian sun is loaded with great meats. Staff is ALWAYS friendly and quick."

Dixie Queen

★★☆☆☆ 1.6 (16)

"Alright people ha the seasoned fries are great the burgers are great I only put four stars because the chicken strips are always overcooked and frozen fried. You can buy it from wallmart Tyson all day long but the staff is great just don't order the chicken. Everything else was wonderful. Will eat here again."

Arby's

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (16) • $

"I've always loved Arby's Roast Beef. The French Dip & Swiss ($4.59) is one of my quick-meal staples. I also tried a Slider ($1.29).A young man in the Kitchen welcomed me when I came in the door. Cashier was dull & unfriendly. Barely spoke. Another K Employee came out to disinfect tables & asked how I was doing. I was the only Customer. Spacious Dining Rooms had been mopped & the bathrooms cleaned. The old Captain D's location on Germantown Road beside McDonald's. I ate there @ least 100 times!"

Kuntry Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (15) • $

"Always come there for the fried catfish and it was always good food and service, and close to our home."

Lemonade House Grille

★★★★☆ 4.3 (32) • $$

"The burgers and fries are the best in this town. Fast service and friendly people. I just can't stop going here. If you're going to an fast food restaurant, you must try this restaurant."

Jack's Family Restaurant

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (9)

"Good food fresh and hot plus the seating area is nice with a large television! Being a new place you have to be patient with the service staff, they have been swamped with work! Overall a pleasant experience!"

Jean's Wingz and Thingz

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Food is fantastic, fresh and made to order. Staff/service extremely friendly and personable. Inside is small, but safe and comfortable! You'll definitely love it here. TRY EVERYTHING!!!!"

Sam's Greek Cafe 3

★★★★★ 4.7 (32) • $

"I've been coming to Sam's Greek for about 2 years now for lunch and I love the food here. The parking lot can get kind of hectic around lunch time but there are some stalls on the side as well as in the front that share neighboring businesses.My favorite is the gyro, gyro plate or gyro lamb salad. Believe it or not, their chicken wings are some of the best I've had. They're big and juicy. I suggest their spicy honey.Their customer service is always friendly. Seating is very limited inside the restaurant. But people tend to eat quick and leave.Prices are great. Super affordable for the amount of food you get.Overall I'd highly suggest if you're looking for Greek or a good place for lunch."

Crumpys Hot Wings Downtown

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (30)

"Worth the wait for hot fresh food. I won't even complain about the prices because it's just that good. The dining room is okay but I recommend you get it & go. Not the best location but it's working. Definitely going back again & again."

Stanford's Drive In Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (10) • $

"We came from out of town (from Texas) and stopped by Stanford's. We are so glad we did! The catfish was a delight! Crispy and light, perfectly cooked catfish served with Cole slaw and a baked potato! The salad bar is simple, yet just right, for a quick salad. The restaurant was clean and the service is good, we never had to request anything, it was always taken care of; from Regula, to condiments, it was all handled. The food was delivered to my table hot and fresh (and we even had a table of 11 of us). This is actually not my first visit here, as we had been once before for a large get together, but this is the first time I've been in a while, and it's good to see this place still doing great!! We will definitely be stopping by Stanford's anytime we are in Amory again!"

Denims Barbecue

★★★★☆ 3.6 (40) • $

"Food good service excellent. Menu with variety. Close to home no wait time. Pulled Pork delicious and 2 sides with cornbread muffin was very tasty too."

Subway

★★★☆☆ 3 (3)

"This is actually located within a Jordan's gasoline station / convenience store, under the Citgo brand.They also offer Chester's chicken for sale. The gas station is conveniently located, considering that there are no other fueling stops within about ten miles in any direction. I cannot speak to the quality of the food, though; as I almost never eat anything made inside of a gas station."

QuikTrip

★★☆☆☆ 2 (1)

"When it opened. It was great. Always in stock and staff was super friendly. They're still friendly but the last 3 times I've been in there. The kitchen has been closed. It's supposed to be 24 hours. But I come in before work at 1am. They says it's under staffed, so I get why but if that kitchen isn't open there's zero reason to go out of my way to get there"
