48 Best Fast Food Restaurants in New York

“the burger was the right texture and very juicy“

“Food: 4/5 | Service: 4.5/5 | Experience: 4/5 This is a very tiny restaurant with 3 (or 4?) 2-person tables. I ordered the big rowdy sandwich in the rebel heat profile. I waited for around 10 minutes. The portion size was as expected. I'm not sure I could get behind the flavor because the heat was the standout. I wish I got a better depth of flavor rather than spicy. You also need to buy water if you want it.“

“Chicken, duck, pork, rice and cabbage—oh my. Super tasty. Out does everyone in the zip code. No exaggeration.“

“I’m not kidding this is the best raising canes in the whole world. The people here were so nice. It was clean and not as hectic as Times Square. I went to the Times Square location and they were so rude. They were so genuinely nice I cannot describe it. Made me feel welcomed and that is not common in New York. Thank you canes and the food as always delicious. The workers told me I could even sub something out if I didn’t want it and I’ve been to canes all over the US and no canes has ever told me that. So thank you and follow my food account if you got this far @exploringwithjaylynn“

“Food/Service/Atmosphere are all 3s but giving it a 5 anyways because when you need Taco Bell, Taco Bell is there. Taco Bell is like that one friend you don't hangout with much until it's time for a night out. When you go out and go too hard, he's taking care of you while you're regretting that one extra shot. You're thankful he took care of you when you weren't feeling good, but honestly would've just been better to not go out and stay in.“

“I loved Chunky Boss! I came 2 days in a row. The person at the counter is knowledgeable of the menu and gives great recommendations on the best items to order. I highly recommend the pepper flavored chicken cutlet, fries and lychee green tea combo. SO good! I will definitely come back again when I visit NYC next time!“

“The food is delicious and fresh. I ordered my dish without eggs. They took off the top egg, but left some of the eggs within the dish. When I called them, they apologize profusely and sent me immediately of replacement. They were very customer service oriented.“

“Shingane is a true hidden gem. If it wasn’t for a recommendation, we wouldn’t have thought to stop by for their delicious homemade kimbap/gimbap and unique “buns”.Mr. Shin and his wife were so hospitable, especially for a small snack shop. They complimented us on our chopstick work (because they often tell people to eat the kimbap with one bite), asked where we were from, and told us their story of coming to New York and creating special presses for their Statue of Liberty buns. The kimbap was special, for me it’s the fact that they come handmade and don’t sit premade in a case in the front. Because of that, the rice is warm, the sesame oil is fragrant, and the vegetables are soft and fresh. I’ll definitely recommend this place to friends passing through.“

“If you like fried chicken, you're gonna love this. If you don't like fried chicken... Why are you reading my review?The pie is not great, but perhaps that's just my american taste buds. It's different though. Pie worth trying once. Chicken worth trying many many timesWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible - no steps“

“Ray has so many delicious food choices.Deep fried oreos,deep fried twinkies,The egg creams are sinfully good as well as the soft serve ice cream.My favorite are the belgian fries.“

“I came a few minutes after opening and the food was tasty and fresh. The beef kabab roll was great, and the beef tasted like a kabab called Bihari Kabab which is really popular in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Tender and not too spicy. The chicken kabab was also tender with what seems like chicken malai boti (boneless cubes marinated in yogurt and other spices). The paratha it was wrapped in was soft but very hot and the chutney inside was refreshing. Great place for a quick bite, clean store with nice staff.“

“Self-service. Very good option to take a momentary break and have lunch on tourist days. They have a very good variety of quick dishes, ready to serve, of good quality and good prices. They have tables to serve you right there with a pleasant atmosphere or you can take your order to go.“

“Was not impressed and don't need to go again. Our food was cold and the order was wrong. It was freezing outside and they had the door open so we had to eat in our coats. The shake is topped with cool whip not real whipped cream and the whole experience is not worth the cost.“

“my wife and I were just there at the cedar rapids Iowa location. the food was awful way over cooked and tasted old what a waste of money is not worth the trip or time“

“My favorite chicken in New York City great spin on Indian Street food and the spice level can go off the chart on that big rowdy sandwich! What are you waiting for get your butt down here and have some of those delicious chicken!“

“Yakisoba tastes almost the same in Tokyo street food!!!!! Love it!! okonimiyaki is also good! The chicken (karaage style) is also a must try. Another thing i like is they prepare the food fresh. Can’t wait to visit again. :)“

“Carol's Bun is a hidden gem in Chinatown. It's a small hole in the wall shop that's a great lunch/dinner takeout spot. They have a good variety of different Cantonese dishes and prices are very reasonable. I've gotten food from here several times, along with ordering specialty dishes like their soft shell crab and it's delicious. Every time I come, I have to order some of their freezer items to bring home too! Some of my favorite freezer things to get from here are their stews - curry beef brisket, lamb, oxtail. All delicious.“

“As someone who lived in Germany and who’s favorite street food was Döner, I was very skeptical about this place claiming “Berliner Döner” taste. BUT this place positively surprised me! The bread was fresh, tasty and had right thickness. They add the right sauces - red (hot) and white (garlic/sour cream). Meat tasted really good too - fresh and flavorful. Overall delicious döner - very close to authentic one from Berlin!“

“Great Chick-fil-A! The staff add super nice and the food is always top notch. Sometimes the app underestimates how long it will take for the order to be ready so just be prepared for that. I’m usually in a hurry when I’m in there and the staff are very helpful and understanding which I really appreciate :)“

“Good hot dogs with lots of spices to add“

“Best peanut butter chocolate shake ever! And the gyro was delicious!“

“This location was surprisingly clean and organized. The staff was fast and friendlyVegetarian options: As a vegetarian Taco Bell is my go to for fast food, basically everything on the menu can be made vegetarian with black beans or potatoes.“

“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“

“Amazing place I when with my kids the food is great is so nice and clean and the music is nice.. everything is great and the people that work there are so nice and hard workers and helpful they greet everyone and make everyone so welcome ..I can't wait to go back“

“The vibe in here is unmatched! The team meets you with vibrant energy and answers any questions you may have. The food quality is consistent and always good. It’s a big bonus that you don’t feel heavy after eating it the way you would with a non-vegan burger. Coming from Yonkers is always worth the drive. 10/10 definitely recommend.“

“the chicken bits and the various sauces are great“

“I tried Jollibee because it was going crazy on the internet. But, I found it to be nothing special. It wasn’t nasty, but I don’t even remember the taste of the chicken. All I can remember is that the spaghetti is sweet and the mashed potatoes and gravy taste just like KFCs’. And, I only got the potatoes because the cashier recommended it because it’s his favorite… I probably should’ve tried the adobo.“

“Delicious. Amazing Honey BBQ and sriracha mayo.“

“I pass this place all the time and finally decided to order from there. I wish I had months ago. I got the Bulgogi Bowl and I'm not sure how something that simple is that tasty. The portion size was incredible and the flavor was top notch. I'll be back all the time.“

“Las mejores patatas fritas de NYC“

“Celebrated my son's 35th birthday here. The owner was wonderful, very friendly and made the bday celebration more special. We enjoyed the seafood boils, calamari, hush puppies, and fish and chips. Special sauce was delicious and if you like spicy don't worry that extra spicy is too hot. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious. Amazing Honey BBQ and sriracha mayo.“

“This has to be my about 15th time coming to bel fries on ludlow and each time it’s never a disappointment tonight I had guy name Erick me and my boyfriend met for the first time taking our order. We came not once but twice so that should tell you everything.“

“It was excellent Korean food, and better than any other restaurant in Koreatown. The bulgogi set meal, Osam bulgogi, and tteokbokki were all excellent, and the manager and staff were really friendly. This is the best Korean restaurant in New York.“

“Best Fried Chicken and Bubble Tea in town.“

“Nuru is very friendly and gives a good customer service. Every time I go there he knows what I want and how I want my sandwich. Quick service; the line move very fast with him. Also the Mexican man offer a very good customer service and he’s friendly too. Keep the good work!!! Thank you guys. ??????“

“Super kid friendly! My 8 year old is super picky and the staff was incredibly accommodating. They took out all the veges, eggs and seeds from his order of jap chae. ? The portions were incredibly big and really delicious. I wish there was one of these on the Upper West Side!Dietary restrictions: Not all Korean places have purple rice (and if they do, it’s super dry). Not only did they have it, it was fantastic!Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly! My 8 year old is super picky and the staff was incredibly accommodating. They took out all the veges, eggs and seeds from his order of jap chae. ?“

“Convenient fast casual Indian Food located in Greenwich Village. The food was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. They offer variety of options, good portions, affordable and friendly service.Everything we ordered was so good , the Chicken tikka was so tender and I also like the naan, it’s so fresh and soft.Don’t miss the mango lassi & masala chai drink, both are so refreshing.“

“very very good burgers and value too we recommend“

“Yolanda is our go-to street food vendor in Harlem. It’s quick to get one or two tamales but she also does larger orders which we’ve done in the past—a big success with our group of friends. Try the pork or green chili chicken along with either a corn chocolate, or jamaica (hibiscus) drink ?“

“The place was super busy, but the service was fast and inefficient. The staff was awesome. The manager really cares about his or her employees. The food was very good. I would definitely eat there again.Kid-friendliness: You can tell everyone behind the counter knew what they were doing. You can tell they loved what they were doing.“

“On my way to work I saw a crowd of people standing around this little joint. Saw an egg & cheese sandwich on the menu. Didn’t hesitate at the prices! It was ready in like 3 minutes and it was delicious. Not late for my meeting. Friendly staff to top it off. I’ll be stopping here regularly on my office days, thank you guys!“

“Best hot sauce in the city!“

“Location molto curata adiacente al freehand hotel . Bellissimi i colori e gli spazi . Ottimo cappuccino e ottimi preparati con ingredienti genuini. Il tutto servito da ragazze gentili e sorridenti . A smile a day ... un ottimo inizio di giornata .“

“Food:Amazing, freshly made nice cooking from the cook. They always make sure you get your money's worth too.Service:Very good, the people are very nice, friendly and value their customersAtmosphere:Clean place, very modern, and some cute paintings on walls, the LED is nice and the place is neat and chillPersonal:Very nice local fast food. The cooking style reminds me of McDonald's. The store in my opinion could be better than McDonald's!Amazing!?????“

“I've been coming here for many yrs, I'm a semi regular and it's always a pleasure coming in. From Felicia being amazing and always having a positive attitude to my service and food always being great, this is def the best Subway I've been to, especially after the renovations. The woman with the braided bun was the star of the show today for making an early release of the footlong sidekicks to me (thanks to management too) I got the churro and cookie one and it's so good, def recommend trying.“

“Yes. This is it. The paragon of cheap street food. It's $10, it's a bowl of rice and meat, and some toppings. Exactly what we need more of: simple food, heavy on cheap carbs for when you just need a quick, savory, SATISFYING bite. My stomach is growling.It's not blazing fast, maybe 10 minutes in and out? But that's acceptable to me.I do wish the bowls were bigger so I could have more rice because I'm a sucker for rice, I'm not even asking for more meat. Maybe I'll just ask for more rice next time.Dear Owner, please, I want more rice in the bowls if you can do that.“

“Absolute hidden gem! I honestly eat here at least 4 times a week, it is the number 1 go-to for breakfast and lunch. Without this place I would be lost... The breakfast sandwiches/bagels are as good as they get and the lunch menu is huge! Great vibes and even better service. 10/10!“
