5 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Lawrence

“I always get a 2 piece chicken and large fry to share with my wife. I am a large Italian/white man and i stick out amongs the crowd. Here at crown chicken I am always treated with neighborly kindness and respect. Always. They are Very generous and the portions are great! I went here for the first time a few months ago and haven't gone elsewhere since. Always a pleasure to be at crown chicken.“

“Everything is cooked to order. This is the best fast food you will find anywhere in Lawrence. They have amazing roast beef, cooked fresh in the restaurant. The drive thru is open late and the prices are excellent. Terrific value for what you get.“

“Hey foodie friends! 🥳 Just discovered this little empanada gem and HAD to tell you about it. 🥟

First things first – this is mainly a grab-and-go spot! They’ve got just a few seats (like 6 max), so think quick bite, not long lunch. But the service? Super speedy and super sweet! 😊

Now… the STARS of the show: the empanadas!!!!!!!!!!!
They’re nice and hefty, packed with plenty of flavorful meat inside. Oh, and pro tip: they ask you to call about 20 minutes before you swing by so your empanadas trays are waiting for you FRESH and PIPING HOT. Genius, right? 🔥

The menu had me grinning like a kid in a candy store:

· Chicken 🐔
· Chicken with Cheese 🧀🐔
· Beef 🐄
· Ham and Cheese 🐷🧀

BUT WAIT… there’s more! Ever tried little fried yuca balls oozing with cheese? Because you need to. They are ABSOLUTELY delicious!!! 🧀✨
Thay also have sandwiches, but i was there for the empanadas.

Feeling thirsty? They’ve got tropical drinks too! My absolute fave is the jugo de parcha (chinola) – so refreshing! 🍹

Whether you need a quick and tasty takeout meal or are planning a party (yep, they do catering ready for pickup!), this place is a total YES from me. Run, don’t walk! 🏃‍♀️💨

Highly, HIGHLY recommend! 👏“

“Amazing food and great service! The chicken was fresh, crispy, and full of flavor, and the portions were more than worth the price. Everything was made quickly and tasted great. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. Definitely one of the best spots around for fried chicken. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely stellar service! The gentleman making our order was professional, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend this team! Even offered a hot and fresh double chocolate chip cookie for my son.“
