50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Hawthorne

“Bobby Wongs is a welcome addition to the Hawthorne food scene. With a great niche- this soulfully Asian spot is a go to for real and quality stuff! Having them downtown is dangerous only bc I live so close! The chicken original with wok’d rice is a perfect balance of heat and savory. The beef buns ( really all the buns) are a can’t miss- any specials they have are definitely worth a try!“

“I ordered a Philly cheesesteak from this store and I must say, it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. I’m not really a subways fan but I decided to give it a try after work today and I was flabbergast. The tasty sad witch combined with the amazing service really made this establishment stand out. You can really tell that staff care about the customers and will work with you to make the perfect sandwich. I will definitely be back soon.“

“GERMAN DONER KEBAB - AN ENLIGHTENMENT If you're from Berlin, it feels like there's a kebab store on every other corner. So I can recognize and judge a kebab when I see it. Even just leaving Berlin and Brandenburg, the kebab experience changes within Germany. The further you get away from Berlin, the worse the kebabs get. Some time ago in New York, I discovered one or two places trying to make a kebab. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find a proper kebab in New York, despite the name kebab. What was being sold was called a kebab, but had very little to do with a kebab and tasted even less like a kebab. All the more enlightenment then... the recommendation of a friend living in Brooklyn. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. And then the first kebab there since 2018 here in New York. I can't even describe how happy I was. It looked like a kebab, it tasted like a kebab and came pretty close to a kebab from Berlin. Really well made. Incl. tax 12.51 dollars is a bit steep, but still good value for New York. The portion was good and filling. Everything is really fresh and well seasoned. The bread was just as it should be, thin and crispy. This was pretty much the best kebab I've had in a very, very long time (with the exception of one visit to Berlin). I will definitely go back there again. GERMAN DONER KEBAB - EINE ERLEUCHTUNG Wenn man aus Berlin kommt, hat man gefühlt an jeder zweiten Ecke einen Dönerladen. Ich kann also einen Döner erkennen und beurteilen, wenn ich ihn sehe. Allein schon Berlin und Brandenburg verlassend wird das mit dem Döner innerhalb von Deutschland anders. Je weiter man sich von Berlin entfernt, desto schlechter werden die Döner. In New York entdeckte ich schon vor einiger Zeit den einen oder anderen Anbieter mit dem Versuch, einen Döner zu machen. Bisher konnte ich leider in New York trotz Bezeichnung Döner keinen ordentlichen Döner entdecken. Das was da verkauft wurde, heißt zwar Döner, hatte mit Döner aber recht wenig zu tun und schmeckte noch viel weniger nach einem Döner. Um so mehr dann die Erleuchtung... die Empfehlung eines Freundes in Brooklyn lebend. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. Und dort dann der erste Döner seit 2018 hier in New York. Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, wie sehr ich mich gefreut hatte. Es sah aus wie ein Döner, es schmeckte wie ein Döner und kam schon recht nah an einen Döner aus Berlin heran. Richtig gut gemacht. Incl. Tax 12,51 Dollar ist zwar sportlich, aber für New York wiederum preiswert. Die Portion ordentlich und sättigend. Wirklich alles frisch und gut gewürzt. Das Brot genau so wie es sein muss, dünn und knusprig. Also das war seit sehr sehr langer Zeit so ziemlich der beste Döner (mit Ausnahme einem Besuch in Berlin), den ich seit langer Zeit gegessen habe. Dahin kehre ich auf alle Fälle wieder zurück. -------------------------------------------------“

“Best thing to happen to this food strip in AGES!Fresh ingredients and tasty recipes. The price is appropriate for the type of food you're getting, but even more so-the portion sizes and flavor are top notch. We've already stoped in multiple times so here are some of our take aways :-dolmades: honestly, the best l've ever had. And I try them EVERYWHERE. Not cheaply portions either - solid roll and you get 5 in an order. WORTH IT.-pita chips: clearly homemade and SO delicious. They're softer than the ones people are used to getting, but firm enough to really hold some hummusBowl/Wrap ingredients :BASES-med couscous: light and fluffy, not porridge-esque-warm garbanzo beans: Held their integrity during cooking so you're greeted with big pillows of seasoned goodness-farmers mix: more than just Romaine-reminiscent of a garden mix (arugula, kale, etc)SPREADS-zesty Feta: no words can do this justice. Chunky and full of love-roasted eggplant hummus: brought an almost Smokey flavor as opposed to regular hummus-Kalamata olive hummus: recommended by the young man making my dish and WOW so glad he did. I'm not a huuuuuuge olive fan and this was just a nice essence of kalamatas. I was afraid it would be too potent and take over the dish. QUITE THE OPPOSITE! Will never look back from other options!-tzatzki: mild flavor and perfect accompaniment to anything it touchesPROTEINFirst off, they offer the most GENEROUS protein portions.You 'get 2' so they let you do a full scoop of one and a full scoop of the other. Falafel is about 4 balls per serving so you can mix and match with another protein-Moroccan steak : nice sized slices/bits of spiced meat-lemon chicken: you can taste the citrus without it being overpowering. Also in nice sized pieces-chicken shawarma: insta classic ! The meat is almost buttery it's cooked so well-falafel: my personal favorite. You can taste how fresh they are ! No dryness here! Great Big Crunch surrounding a little pillow of happiness. And if you choose this as your protein, be prepared to be AMAZED at how much you get!TOPPINGSUnlike other stores of this kind, the toppings bar is unlimited!!! And that doesn't speak to the quality of the ingredients. Again, everything is so fresh and taken care of properly.Most of this part is self explanatory so I'll just touch on the parts we found interesting:-chickpea croutons: not nearly as hard as expected to be so that was a plus. The shell has a crisp but you won't worry about breaking a tooth-dolmades : if you're afraid to commit to a full order, here's your chance to try it ! You won't be disappointed-tabbouleh : such a lovely addition to the meal you just created. Adds flavor with the mint/parsley/onion heavenly goodness-cabbage: tried both the white and red at different times and both were tasty. Felt that the white took in more of the flavor around the dish while the red just added crunchDRESSINGS-any tahini option is the right answer. If you're not familiar with the taste of tahini to begin with (earthy if you will), then I would recommend a flavored one-roasted red pepper tahini: a gift from above ! There is a slight sweet yet smokey flavor that wraps everything together-garlic jalapeño tahini: not as spicy as you'd imagine so it just gives a nice lil zest to your dish-lemon & olive oil : depending on what you put in your order, this will help with overall texture. If you opted out of wet stuff (tomatoes, lettuce, etc) this is your choice !Lastly,The Earth Burger: like a big ole falafel and WOW did not disappoint. Maintained the integrity of the falafel (crispy outside, soft inside) while giving you the satisfying big bite you're looking for. Only complaint is since it is such a hearty size, maybe a size of tahini or tatziki should accompany it. But if you ask, they’ll give you a side !!Basically, this is a great asset to the area.Kind staff, smiling faces, clean sitting area and portion sizes that will have you stuffed all day!Their in house lemonade is the BEST !“

“There's so many amazing things to say about this place right off the bat! The first thing I'm going to say is the atmosphere you walk in and you feel the family and friendly love. The second thing you see is the creativity in the food and the smell just coming from the kitchen. I got to say the food is amazing. The customer service is terrific. The creativity in the food. The design setup in the building I mean all around five star!“

“My mom and I have drove past this place for years and kept saying that one day we'll stop by and check it out. We just went yesterday and honestly did not expect the food to be as good as we anticipated. The owners were insanely nice, made the food from scratch, and the entire atmosphere of the place was welcoming. Highly recommend everyone to come here on the regular!“

“Happy with the Hackensack branch, before I had to drive 20 minutes now I have it close to home. The food is delicious and what I love most are their juices and smoothies..!! If you are on a diet, it has green juices and healthy smoothies. If not, I recommend my favorite, which is sapote or Mamey..!! The girls are nice, good service, super clean. Recommended 100%Dietary restrictions: Well I see that it has green juices, although I don't like them...!! But those who want healthy smoothies this is the place.Parking: Well, it has about 14 parking spaces, I don't think I counted them correctly, but the good thing is that I always find parking.Kid-friendliness: The portions are perfect for the little ones in the house, the empanadas and the yucca buns I know they love them.“

“In my eyes shake shack can do no wrong, but the service here was lovely. You don’t expect anyone to care once you get your food at a take out//tray place like this but Patrick not only brought our food out but checked on us & cleared our table as we were heading out. Thanks shake shack.“

“I was casually walking down rainbow road when Mario, Donkey Kong and Shy guy grabbed me and brought me to this Subway. A guy whose name I think was maneater told me I had to eat 100 cookies or else Donkey Kong would turn me into a banana. I said ok and began this grueling challenge. I started chowing down on the cookies and when I reached the halfway point Machoman told me that the rest of the cookies would be footlong cookies, I said "radical" and continued. I was enjoying the last two cookies when all of a sudden Rick Grimes and superman walked in and blew up Donkey Kong, Mario and Shy guy and told me the walkers were coming and I had to leave. I said goodbye to Magic Mixing Machine and he said that wherever I go I could just reach into my pocket and pull out a free footlong cookie.10/10 would recommend, if you survive the walkers roaming around.“

“I worked with Ma’s Tea House for a corporate event. Initially we wanted them to come on site at our NYC office location at make fresh bubble tea as people came into the office, which they do offer, but the building had a lot of specific requests which made it difficult to coordinate. We ended up deciding to switch to a delivery of 100 bubble teas in the morning for my event that same afternoon. From start to finish, they were very easy to work with and responsive. I stopped by the shop and Justin worked with me to decide on what would be best for delivery and what flavors would be good options. I even requested they add my company’s stickers to the cups along with their own and they did. Delivery was a little tough (but that was due to the location of the office in midtown, police officers not allowing vehicles to stop, etc.) but we eventually found each other for delivery and they helped bring the bubble teas into the building within the delivery time discussed.As for the bubble teas during the event, we decided on 50 white peach rose with strawberry popping boba and 50 passion fruit with mango popping boba. They were a HUGE hit and mostly gone within the hour from the start of the event which we didn’t expect. We were anticipating some leftovers by the end of the day, but in the end, there were none.Pricing was reasonable and comparable to other quotes that we received. Brian was great to work with. We would look to work with them again in the future!“

“Burgers and Chinese food at one place, never would have thought! Burgers were good, big and juicy, and relatively inexpensive. The "caramelized onions" were those fried onions you get from a can and not really caramelized onions. But for 10 bucks with fries and a can of soda, im ok with it.“

“I love this place the food is so good and they have amazing and kind staff, best food place in all of new jersey!!Vegetarian options: Large vegetarian options that are soooooo goodDietary restrictions: Has great halal food and vegetarian food i dream about this food sometimesParking: Very good and easy parkingKid-friendliness: I always get food from here with my 2 kids“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I recently visited Jersey Mike's and had an outstanding experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, especially Matt, who went above and beyond to ensure I had a fantastic meal. The sandwiches were fresh, delicious, and made exactly to my liking. The atmosphere was clean and inviting, and the service was prompt and friendly. I'll definitely be returning, thanks to Matt and the entire team at Jersey Mike's for providing top-notch service and scrumptious sandwiches!“

“Loved the food! Metin provide such great service, from the free food to customizing the order exactly for over 40 people to all the good suggestions. Overall an amazing order. Highly recommend ordering from here for a fantastic catering meal.“

“When my 5 yr old wants hot dogs randomly i thought of hanks franks from passing by so many times. Why not try it? You get a mom and pop feel. We ordered 2 dogs 1 with ketchup and 1 with cheese and cheesy fries. I have a gluten sensitivity so I took a small bite of the dog and it's great even my lil Eva ate all her fries and the rest of the hot dog. I would definitely go back!“

“Everything was great at The Hot Grill. Burgers all the way is Chill, Cheese, diced onions, and mustard. The fries with gravy and cheese are similar to a Canadian Poutine. They also call it Disco Fries. Counter service and you take it to your own table. No wait staff. Convenient location. Fast paced. I hope to return back if we're in that area again on travel.“

“good location with ample parking space.inside was neat and clean; and the staff were pretty good during our visit.we has the usual philly steak and it was hot and fresh just the way we like it. Add some chips and wewere quite satisfied with such simple butdelicious meal.“

“I went to the Midland Park location. Mary and the other staff greeted my son , my mom and myself as we opened the door. The food was hot, fresh delicious . Every time we come it is always consistent. Mary was so friendly , accommodating, patient helping us place the order and helping me download the app. We will definitely be back. Great atmosphere to sit back and relax with my family. I even went back to the counter to buy more to go for my husband . My favorite is the pork rice bowl with all the toppings. My mom loves the quesadillas they have just the right amount of crunch .“

“My wife and I came here for the first time to break our fast during Ramadan since it serves only Halal meat. The interaction started wrong since I got a burger with cheese when I asked for none on my Waygu. The kitchen quickly corrected it even with so many orders ahead of me. Burger + even gave me free dessert and soup to make it better.The burger was amazing and worth the wait ....highly recommend“

“We order from here pretty regularly and the food has always been phenomenal. We usually get chicken and lamb platters and they are the best I’ve ever had. The white sauce is amazing. We also get the hot wings and they are 10/10. The food always tastes clean and fresh. Service is always very nice.“

“I know it's a chain but their pizza is pretty darn good. The crust is very thin and crunchy and it's very customizable - cheese, sauce, toppings, condiments, pineapple whatever fancy you. They put whatever you ask for in front of you and put it in the oven. I don't know how but it's usually ready within minutes. I've had takeout but it's really best when you eat it right after it comes out. You can also order via the app and specify what time to pick up which is a plus. And every now and then they would give you coupons to lure you back but we don't mind it because we (especially my 4 year old) really do like their pizza.“

“I went to this chic fil a last night and Jared at the front definitely needs a raise!! he went above and beyond in greeting my boyfriend and i and asking us how we were and where we were from etc when all the sudden my water broke!! there was no time and he actually laid me up on the counter and completely shut down the inside of the chic fil a and helped me deliver my baby! 10 out of 10 experience and i will be having my babies at chic fil a from now on but only if Jared is there! again he needs a raise!“

“The food here is always delicious! The juices are made fresh and the sandwiches are so tasty! The owner is very sweet will make your order exactly how you ask. I tried almost everything on the menu and they never disappoint. The place is also kept very clean. 10/10. Totally recommend!“

“I was working in Montclair, and I asked someone who worked at the building I was at if there were any good lunch spots around. Roosters was highly recommended. I was not disappointed the chicken and fries were so flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend Roosters to anyone who wants great comfort “

“Absolutely delicious burgers and fries. The seasoning brings a wonderfully perfect patty that then comes together with some great options for toppings. We had the Bodega and the Jam burger.Small place but comfy and inviting ambiance.Definitely coming back to try those shakes.“

“Exceptional experience at Jersey Mike's! The customer service was outstanding, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The staff's friendliness and efficiency stood out. Moreover, the food was consistently fresh and delicious. A great place for a satisfying meal with top-notch service.“

“I found out about this little gem just today. I was working in the area and went in on a recommendation. The place was clean, the people were super friendly and most of all the hot dogs were perfect! I had the works, and Gina threw in the hookup to see if I would like it and I LOVE It this place is awesome and I will be going back. The hookup hotdog is amazing with the flavors.“

“Place was great and as usual staff was fun energetic and made the night a blast. We have been going for several years and always enjoy the way the restaurant is decorated and run, speed of food and quality was fantastic. recommend to all our friends.“

“If you're in Ridgewood and craving a taste of Mexico, look no further than Sombrero! Nestled in the heart of town, this gem of a taco spot delivers an authentic culinary experience that'll have your taste buds dancing with delight. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with an inviting atmosphere. As I perused the menu, I couldn't help but notice the friendly face of Alex S, who eagerly recommended their signature dish—the Sombrero Chicken Bowl. Trusting his recommendation, I decided to give it a try, and boy, am I glad I did! The Sombrero Chicken Bowl was a masterpiece of flavors and textures. Each bite was a burst of Mexican-inspired goodness that left me craving more. What truly impressed me was the attention to detail and the freshness of the ingredients. Not only was the food exceptional, but the service was also top-notch. Despite the bustling crowd, the staff at Sombrero ensured that every customer was attended to promptly and with a smile. Kudos to them for their efficiency and hospitality! Whether you're a taco aficionado or just someone looking for a delicious meal, Sombrero is the place to be. So do yourself a favor and pay a visit to Sombrero in Ridgewood. And when you do, be sure to say hello to Alex S and thank him for the fantastic recommendation. Your taste buds will thank you later!“

“6 outta 10 on service, 2 on ambiance, 11 outta 10 on an Italian sub with a whole pickle and a jumbo "uptown". Price and size of subs here make Subway and Jersey Mikes look like a joke. This place is the real deal, a Paterson institution. Make a special trip for the pastrami and thank me later.“

“I absolutely love Blaze Pizza. Hands down my favorite pizza spot, and I can eat this once a week feeling no shame. This spot on NJ-4 is clean and has really professional staff. The folks here are cheerful and super friendly. Love that about a place. Keep up the good work.“

“This restaurant is owned by the former owners of Callaghans, and the hotdogs taste just like I remember them. The hotdogs are 9 inch dogs deep fried until they're crisp on the outside but still soft and juicy on the inside. The spicy onions had kick but weren't overwhelmingly hot. The potato stix topping was interesting. It was fun but I am traditionalist when it comes to my hotdogs. These are good dogs. No doubt about it.“

“i love Jersey Mike’s . my Favorite is the Route 17 location. my least Fav is Hamburg Turnpike. The employees are rude and sloppy and wasn’t wearing a mask correctly . I literally heard the guy talking about me with another employee. it took me 35 minutes to get my 3 sandwich’s . PS i said no oil and vinegar !!!“

“Damn the food was really good. I order the fried fish with Mac n cheese and cabbage. The cabbage very flavorful and the mac n cheese is really good. The fried fish was excellent to me. almost fell asleep after i finish. the ladies at the restaurant was super nice. the lady in the back knows how to cook. will come again.“

“This Dairy Queen has superb customer service, every time I go there I feel so welcomed, and the staff is always ready and happy to help. I always get a chocolate Oreo blizzard and it’s always blended perfectly, it’s so delicious. Definitely will continue to go back to this Dairy Queen!!!“

“I don't remember the person's name but he was Asian and was really good. He messed the order but it was really nice to go change it. Even the other lady who was taking the order was also really good and recognized the order being wrong. Great customer service.I am sorry I am bad with remembering name.“

“Excellent alternative to Chipotle!80% of the time I get their Nashville hot chicken burrito or bowl. This is better than Chipotle for following reasons.1. More flavors/options for your tastebuds.2. I like their reward program better than what other similar chains have.3. Excellent digital experience, easy to use app and on-time pickup. A notification about the ready pickup would be a nice to have.4. They give good portion of meat in your order.5. They also serve wings and deserts.Place is clean and is located in a nice small strip mall..!“

“I have been going here since I was 5 i am not 17. The food just gets better and better every time i come! I always order 2 hot dogs with ketchup and the workers know I love loading up the ketchup! Its such a friendly environment and it brings me back to my childhood!!! 100000/10 recommended!“

“I had my first taste yesterday. I ordered a 4 piece chop chicken and tostones. I was expecting chicharron de pollo but it was just regular fried chicken pieces. Seasoned well, loved that they gave me lots of lime with it. Tostones were crispy and done right seemed to be fried at the right ripeness point. I was having a major craving for dominican cake. Y'all they did not disappoint here! I got the guayaba flavor and it was so moist, fresh and delicious. The suspiro was sooooo amazing. I'm not exaggerating either. It was so good , I'm back today for a Cuban and another bizchocho dominicano de guayaba. I'm happy I found a new place.“

“Been going to Dairy Queen forever - nearly 60 years in more than a few different states... This place is very different from other Dairy Queens - the ice cream is much better tasting, sundaes are better, blizzards taste better. It tastes like Dairy Queen tasted when I was a kid - brought back a lot of memories. Great services, very friendly. Others have mentioned the prices are high - my wife and I thought they were cheaper than other Dairy Queens we've been at and the portions were better.“

“Our first visit and Sticky's lives up to the hype. Our nephew steered us here. We feasted on the breaded chicken, twice cooked fries, and our selection of soft drinks. The secret are the dipping sauces. Don't go without. This location was helmed by a hard working crew that worked fast and paid attention to detail. Kudos to the leader/cashier who had a good handle on the flow of product coming out of the kitchen and guided us to the right order. Our only wish would be for more seating. This place is popular.“

“I picked this spot for lunch because it was halal, and I had a halal client. I ordered the party box along with a separate box for myself. I ordered the turkey burger slider and crispy chicken slider with jalapeños. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in, and the food was ready. I grabbed everything and left. When I dug in, the sliders were really good. My favorite was the turkey burger slider. It was super flavorful. All in all I had a good experience!“

“Food and service is always great. Right off a main road so it can get pretty busy. Establishment is always very generous with their servings and usually pretty quick. The only thing I dislike about this place is that their bread is very soft. I usually like my subs on a crispy roll. This is my go-to option when Cappelluti's Deli in Kearny is closed“

“Always a good atmosphere good people friendly patience people in the building. The food is great the wings aren't too meaty and unrealistic big like other places which i like i feel like your eating actual chicken wings. Only thing i recommend is getting your fries well done when ordering out so the container doesn't make them soggy when you receive them especially if its your first time ordering from here. They're various flavors to choose from and you can mix two flavors so you can get a chance to try two at once and the flavors are pretty promising I've at here quite a few times to tell you this is a real deal solid place to eat.“

“The team in your park ridge location always treat me with much live and they always make sure my food is hot and ready as they make it! They always ask if everything is ok because if it’s not they will definitely fix it for you!Parking: Where they’re located is in a shopping plaza. So there is plenty of parking available when needed.Kid-friendliness: When I brought my babygirl she loved it“

“The sliders may be the wrong kind of simplicity, not fulfilling an obvious niche when everything from White Castle to Ye Olde Gentrified Microbrew's $32 truffle burger offers more adornments to their beef. But the butter noodles seem more valuable if you're just in the mood for sauce; the Thai curry was a decently spicy coconut-based concoction. The wings were enjoyable. As an occasionally overloud advocate of chicken with bones, I applaud the option to get wings with a general Tso's sauce. Other options including Buffalo and teriyaki.“

“This is the best restaurant I’ve ever took out from with my family. They have really good French fries and hot dogs. This cool place has a friendly atmosphere and the staff are caring and they prepare our French fries just in time. I would recommend this place to anyone who is stopping by in northern Bergen County for a quick lunch after a long trip from Central New Jersey or Southern New Jersey via Garden State Parkway or New Jersey Turnpike.Parking: Good parking lotKid-friendliness: Kids are welcome.“

“Awesome Burgers. Probably the best in the area.Only complaint is price is a little steep. Price of a sit down restaurant ($25 per person for a burger and fries).But overall amazing quality food.Minimal sitting area inside. Pretty much a to go spot.“

“The service at Chick-fil-A Teterboro is unequivocally exceptional, surpassing all expectations with a seamless blend of efficiency, courtesy, and attentiveness. Each interaction exudes a profound commitment to customer satisfaction, characterized by a meticulously orchestrated symphony of hospitality. From the moment one steps foot into the establishment, there is an unmistakable aura of professionalism and genuine care, elevating the dining experience to unprecedented heights. In every gesture, from the warm greetings to the swift and accurate service, one cannot help but marvel at the unparalleled dedication to excellence that permeates every aspect of the operation. In essence, Chick-fil-A Teterboro sets an exemplary standard in service, making it an unrivaled destination for those seeking not just a meal, but an extraordinary culinary journey imbued with sophistication and grace.“

“Today on March 24th 2024, I had a great experience. The workers were great and the girl at the drive-through went above and beyond. She was so helpful with our questions. Great day with great people. Also the burgers, onion rings and strawberry cheesecakes hit the spot to complete the “
