50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Albany

“Taco Bell here has done some renovation and has hired better people. Ignore all the low star reviews, this Taco Bell has clearly gotten better as of 6/26/24 and the interior is now modern and clean

Vegetarian options: Great delicious options. I'm not even vegetarian, and I will still get a spicy potato taco or a cheesy been and rice burrito

Dietary restrictions: They offer clear labeling of sodium content and calorie count. There are clear options for people on a diet. And it's all delicious

Parking: Not too many spots, but there is usually a spot or 2 empty

Wheelchair accessibility: You can go right in. No stairs“

“Sooooooooooooooooooo delicious“

“Falafel corner is a great spot to grab a quick lunch . Be aware that Its not on the corner it's in the middle of the block . The shape of the falafels here is unique , they are not balls but more like small pattys . The falafel is always hot and very fresh . Crispy on the outside and a fresh green look on the inside . The tahini sauce and the hot sauce they use are very tasty ,and the veggies are always crisp and fresh . The staff is alwAys friendly .They have good prices . I would recommend this place for a delicious and affordable meal“

“This is the best place to eat in the Bay... yes I'm biased lol. I've loved this place since going to Richmond HS, service is unmatched, great people and the food is absolutely amazing. Go you you a mushroom steak hoagie.. I'm going today“

“Town Fare is excellent. Just ate here at their last Sunday brunch which happens monthly. It was buffet style. Chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits were superlative. The location in the Oakland Museum is super stylish and classic. This restaurant needs to be supported.“

“Amazing kebabs for a great price! For $18 you get enough for two people with leftovers. We tried the chicken and the lamb and they were both amazing. The kebabs come with a large serving of delicious rice, a pita, a cooked tomato and a salad.

Takes about 20 minutes to come out and there is no seating inside, but it was completely worth the wait!“

“I ordered a Lentil miso patty burger and it was absolutely delicious. The patty tasted fresh and soft on the inside. It is a great alternative to impossible patty, that I always look for. Overall, it’s a great vegetarian option. The Ginger Sage Kombucha was also very refreshing.“

“This place has absolutely amazing burgers! I come all the way out here from SF every once in awhile just to get some! I haven’t really tried much else on the menu but my friend got the wings and really enjoyed those as well, I did get to try the steak fries which I would definitely say to avoid they are pretty soggy and the cheese sauce isn’t very good, but I’ll continue coming back here and recommending it because it’s hard to find an actually good burger around here! Plus it’s a great area to go with friends cause there is tons of food options and also bars to hangout at! Just be ready cause it can get pretty busy over here on the weekends!“

“Definitely San Francisco Bay areas. Best burgers, amazing fish and chips very favorable, savory kebabs and great tasting Gyros.“

“The food, drinks, staff and atmosphere was excellent. This is my nephews favorite spot. Thanks Kelly for our family outing today.“

“Wow! I’m visiting San Francisco and chose this spot on a busy Valentine’s Day. Boy was that the right call! Food was perfection, fries were crispy fresh-and don’t sleep on the onion rings! Service was attentive and sweet, tables were spotless, and atmosphere was vibrant and fresh. 💯 recommend and would be back.“

“Ok.. I just hit the jackpot with this Cafe'. I have been craving a hot pastrami sandwich for the longest time thinking the only place to satisfy my craving will be in New York until I gave Sweet Joanna’s a try. I was lucky to be there when one of the owners, Mr. Zaro, took my order and confidently assured me that their sandwiches are the best. He was not lying. I got the best looking layered sandwich of pastrami, cheese, pastrami, avocado, pastrami lettuce and tomatoes on a warm Dutch crunch. I had to take a photo of this master piece to post here. I was in heaven when I took the first bite. The bread, the cheese and pastrami were heated first, explained Mr. Zaro, then the other fixings were added. That way you get an amazing crunchy bread with warm pastrami, melted cheese and the fresh veggies. This place will be my first stop when I am in San Francisco. It is clean with friendly staff and a great service.“

“Large portion, great food loved the nostalgic fish burger wrapped in a checkered wrap, fresh crinkle fries at a great price!! Huge taste !! This is yet another time I've eaten here again they have made my favorites just right..a huge plus for today if you are looking for a clean yummy place to eat with friends and family and watch the Superbowl they have a huge screen TV!!!“

“Banger place for huge, flavorful, crispy fried chicken and seasoned fries. Their bad boy sandwich is the perfect amount of spice, I think the naughty chick would probably be way too much. Everything was super fresh, made to order, and the staff provided great service. Would recommend the G sauce and garlic sauce too.

Took off one star because their dine in option was closed even though we got there 1-1.5 hours before closing. They had also run out of their mac and cheese by then.

Overall definitely coming back as it didn’t upset our stomachs either like fast food does.“

“In-N-Out Burger is one of those places that feels simple in the best way possible. The menu is short, which honestly makes ordering less stressful, and everything feels intentional. You go there knowing you’re getting burgers, fries, and shakes—no distractions. The burgers are fresh, juicy, and taste like they were actually made when you ordered, not pulled from a heat lamp. The toasted buns and crisp lettuce make everything feel balanced instead of greasy.

The fries are probably the most debated part. On their own, they’re hit or miss since they’re fresh-cut and not super crispy, but ordering them “animal style” changes everything. With cheese, grilled onions, and sauce, they’re way more satisfying. The shakes are thick, classic, and not overly sweet, which makes them easy to finish.

What really stands out is the price and consistency. For how good the food is, it’s surprisingly affordable, especially compared to other fast-food chains. The staff is usually friendly and upbeat, and the restaurant stays pretty clean even when it’s packed. Overall, In-N-Out isn’t trying to be fancy—it just does fast food really well, and that’s why people love it.“

“Food was really good and healthy compared to a lot of other places out there. Got like a bowl thing that was a little bit spicy but it was really good. My girlfriend got a wrap that she really liked.

Prices weren't bad either given how healthy everything was. All the veggies were fresh and delicious but the sauce was where it shined for sure.“

“I’ve been ordering the vermicelli bowls, banh mis, spring rolls, and pho regularly at this spot now for almost a year, and they have never missed. The ingredients are always so fresh and portions are super generous, this is genuinely the best Vietnamese restaurant I’ve ever been to, and I appreciate how much care is put into making the food and even the packaging to ensure for the best eating experience!“

“The best Vietnamese food in the Bay Area! Prices are excellent. Get the Number 5 to sample everything. I would come here at least one a week if I lived nearby! Order to go if you don’t want to sit in the tiny 10-person space. The food is worth it!“

“Dude. It's In-n-Out. What more can I say? Just Do It!“

“Came here 3 days ago to try the food since I've constantly drove by and wanted to have a taste. I am super disappointed in my experience. The Hot dogs were like rubber and could tell they had been cooked hours before. There was barely any meat in the chili. I also was charged $147 instead of $14.70 by the manager Pat and she refused to refund me. I will never return or recommend anyone to go here.“

“Decent food good price. Friendly.“

“Good selection with a lot of options and they don't disappoint. It was my son's 1st time and he loved it‼️“

“I've been coming here for over 30 years! Love their baby burritos and the best hot sauce ever!“

“This is our neighborhood go-to for frozen yogurt! My husband is a regular here, and now I completely understand why. The yogurt is always perfectly creamy with great flavor options, and the toppings are always fresh. The staff is super friendly and welcoming — they always remember familiar faces. A great local spot for a sweet treat!“

“You arent gonna get a culturally innovative, fusion cuisine masterpiece from the Red Onion, you're gonna get the gigantic plate of chili cheese fries you're craving. You're gonna be full and what's going to be delightfully missing is the thought that you paid too much. I cannot tell you enough that for me, the main draw is value. You order the large? Its huge. You order extra cheese? You don't feel like they just charged you, then brought the regular amount, that thing has hella cheese on it! This place actually respects its customers and doesn't try to squeeze them for every dollar. Appetizers are actually big enough to share and are delicious. They have regularly priced, classic burgers, then they also got these 27 dollar insane amalgamations that combine all kinds of ingredients and flavors. I had the Chupacabra, it was incredible! Notably the burger was actually 27 dollars worth of food and didn't just cost more because of an exotic ingredient list. Milkshakes were awesome too. Im telling you, this is the spot for cravings food!“

“Very good food and drinks 🥤“

“The staff were extremely friendly. I ordered tteokbokki and a corn dog with potatoes and topped with lots of cheese. The tteokbokki and filling but I had to try their corn dog! The corn dog was crispy outside and very moist inside. I would definitely go there again. Next time I will try other corn dog flavors.“

“The food and staff was excellent and the portions were large. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Just maybe mark a few parking spaces with their name.“

“Great little spot with a nice interior, and space to eat there if you'd like. Staff is also super nice. Their tofu banh mi is great, and the portion sizes are plentiful -- I'm definitely full here, which often isn't the case at other banh mi places“

“Great food and good costumer service“

“Heathly food. The Shawarma wrap it's my favorite. I love it!!!“

“muy limpio muy buen sabor y la atención exelente definitivamente recomendado.“

“Always some of the best hot dogs that I know of. I usually get the hot link and/or the big quarter pound hot dog with all the trimmings, i.e., chopped onions and tomatoes, mustard, ketchup, relish, and occasionally jalapeno peppers. The employees are always very kind, courteous, and professional. I definitely recommend Caspers Hot Dogs if you like great hot dogs.

Parking: There is ample parking on the restaurant parking lot. I never have a problem parking there.“

“Every Table meal subscription is amazing. Delicious, healthy foods at a very fair price. 5 dinners only $38. The best part is my area has brick and mortar stores where I just walk in and buy my meal prep for the week...Meals cooked in a local kitchen by real chefs with local fresh ingredients. I'm busy all the time and although I love cooking it's hard to cook for just one person. The majority of meals are 600 calories or less. An easy way for me to stay in my calorie deficit. I just had the chicken schwarma bowl and it was soooo good. Tasted just like a home cooked meal. Highly recommend“

“I come to San Francisco for work often and Onigilly is the top choice to grab a nutritious lunch before heading to the airport. The food is reliably fresh and delicious, and the service is fast. I highly recommend their take out option, eg poke bowels, miso soup, prawns, yam and more.“

“Went here on my 30 min lunch break, the gentleman working with super friendly and I told him I only had a remaining 15 minutes until my lunch is over and he fixed me up number eight the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. It was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Service was fast and friendly and I will definitely be returning. Thank You original Red Onion for a great lunch!“

“Love the chocolate flan, I get it every time I am here“

“This is My Daughter’s Favorite Restaurant.. We Go There Often. The Service is Quick and The Staff Is Friendly..“

“The food is good than the last time I came fr and it changed.

I got 2 biggie bags (each 6 bucks) and it didn't disappoint 🔥 The service was good 9/10. Its clean and has a welcoming atmosphere which is a big plus. There is room for parking most of the time. Overall, a good one to come dine in :) ❤️“

“I recently tried the Subway Footlong Tuna, and honestly, it was delicious. The bread was fresh and soft, the tuna was perfectly mixed - creamy but not too heavy - and every bite tasted balanced. I added lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and a little mayo, and it made the whole sandwich even better.
For a quick meal, it felt fresh, filling, and satisfying. If you like tuna sandwiches, this one is definitely worth trying. I would order it again!“

“I’m here from out of town and decided to go to Joshua’s for some fish. The fish was fresh, fried to perfection and seasoned well, and the fries were also good, they were nothing like the other reviewer said . This will be my go to place for fish and fries when I’m back in Oakland. Try it for yourself you won’t be disappointed.“

“when I'm not in the mood to cook the first thing I think about is going to them.“

“I absolutely love this place! I had the best fish sandwich I've had in a long time. I was just driving by when I noticed this restaurant, so I decided to stop and order their fish sandwich with a meal. They give you a bag full of fries, and everything was delicious. The sandwich was great, the fish was tasty, and the sauce was perfect—no complaints whatsoever.

I'm planning to go back very soon to try everything on the menu. I still need to sample their milkshakes and ice cream, but I didn't have a chance on this visit. Overall, the food I had was stunning. The fries were fresh, hot, and crispy, and I really appreciate how generous they are with the portion. I can't wait to go back!“

“Walked by this spot often and always loved how friendly they were so I stopped in for a double cheeseburger - was honestly blown away! Solid juicy grilled patties and fresh ingredients - doesn’t leave you feeling too “greasy” after either. Went back twice! Def one of my fave burger spots!!“

“It was late night order and I’ve never had a burger dog before but wanted to try since frisco fried out them on the scene back in the day. Ordered my door dash and couldn’t wait. As soon as they arrive I could smell the goodness so I take my pics and dive in.Burger Dog: Hefty on the meat, felt like it was more beef than an actual burger and I wanna say easier to eat. Only change I would add bacon and that’s my bad. Very good burger dog!Bacon Hot Dog: Butterflied Beef Dog with crispy bacon! Another hit.Very simple menu options but they hit it out the park. Would definitely double back to this spot to try them fresh.

Parking: It’s on 20th street so not impossible but keep your eyes open spots get taken fast

Kid-friendliness: Burgers, Hot Dogs, Fries I think so….

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s in San Francisco it has to be accessible“

“6th St between Market and Mission used to be the heart of San Francisco. Until the new jewish mayor Lurie stabbed it. We used to go out there, eat at Halal Burgers and then spend the night out. Without all the police state ruckus that is going on now end of Jan 26. But despite all the efforts of that obscene filth now sullying city hall, we still go out. And we still stop at Halal Burgers even though the scene has moved on. The food is excellent at prices that are very affordable. A chicken leg quarter, a potato salad and a drink is less than $10.
That said, they downsized the number of tables to sit at. That needs to be changed back.“

“For the most part, this place is good. There are two things I would recommend:

1. They tell each other in Spanish when there isn’t a product but don’t tell the customer. They seem to think people don’t understand what they’re saying.

2. The salad was old. The lettuce was wilted and the chicken tasted so fake.“

“Ok, I really want to give them 5 stars, but it's gas station fried chicken y'all, 😆 so it can't get 5 stars. The chicken is unexpectedly delicious! Perfectly fried, no batter, just flour and amazing seasoning. Has a slight acidic, spicy vein running through the seasoning. Really quite satisfying at 2am when the bars close, or buy a bucket for Sunday picnic. It's a franchise, so you can find it in most cities, at least in California. But again, it's in a gas station convenience store, so it's not a dine-in, seated meal. Some of the best fast food out there! I mean, who doesn't crave fried chicken every now and then?!“

“Great food, relaxed environment, great place.“
