15 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Berkeley

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

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

“Was on business in the area and stopped by here for a Spicy Cheesesteak and Garlic Curly Fries.

I thought the flavors of both were exactly what I’d expect. Management and staff were professional and cooks definitely chef’d up!

I’ll definitely be back!“

“Been coming here for over a decade! Literally the only place I know where you can find a Persian Burger. It’s the only thing I order and has tasted the same for years. This would definitely be my choice for a “Last Meal on Death Row”..two of them maybe with a side of perfectly executed French fries.“

“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“

“So I’ve never been a fan of tteokbokki, I’ve tried making myself to like it but never was able to. I tried their Rose tteokbokki and it slapped so good, it was so freaking cheesy and so meaty. It took me from not being a fan to making this my weekly fatty Friday day. Their Korean hot dogs are really good too, last time I came here I ordered both and ate it inside by the window and a guy outside just kept staring at me with disgust while I was devouring my food, I kept trying to hide behind the window poster and was kind of successful.“

“Excellent food , as good as any Hawaiian BBQ“

“Bongo Burger is still the best burger in the Bay.

What makes it so good is the style. It’s not a massive, overloaded burger… it’s light (but filling), balanced, and somehow they manage to make a thin patty that’s still cooked medium-rare, juicy, and perfectly pink in the center. That’s surprisingly hard to find.

The grilled onions have are so good on the burger, really make it a signature. Add fresh chopped lettuce, ripe tomato, and the classic Bongo Burger bun, and it’s just a perfect combo. Also the use of two different color cheeses really makes it visually appetizing.

The fries are equally impressive. They’re crispy on the outside but somehow stay soft, fluffy, and full of actual potato on the inside instead of drying out.

The cooks are talented clearly.

On top of all that, the prices are incredibly reasonable, the staff is always friendly, and the vibe feels like old Berkeley in the best possible way.

The Euclid location is my favorite. I grew up eating there in the ‘90s, and I’m amazed that the quality is still just as good today. Places like this are rare. I hope Bongo Burger is around forever.“

“This place feels fairly new, but I had been hearing a lot of positive things, so I finally decided to try it out. I ordered a regular classic-style patty sandwich, and my friends and I shared fries along with onion rings.

The sandwich was genuinely tasty—simple, comforting, and made with care. The fries had a great mix of softness and crispness, making them really enjoyable. But the onion rings were the real highlight: perfectly crunchy with a rich, satisfying flavor.

Overall, I had a great experience here. The atmosphere was warm, the service felt friendly, and the food truly stood out. I’d happily return because it’s an ideal spot for a relaxed, flavorful meal.“

“Gr8 store“

“I just now picked up a fish sandwich that was the best I’ve had from any Burger King. The bread was good, the fish didn’t taste like old oil. They put it together with care and spread the sauce and veggies evenly. Thank you for making a fast food experience feel like quality and done with care.“

“Coffee was perfect. It's hard to believe how awesome Micky D's is. Thank you“

“I was really impressed with the overnight crew. They're hard-working. They kept the restaurant clean. Mopping the floor wiping the tables. Windexing the windows. Extremely impressive to watch all while handling customers with respect and dignity.“

“This location is our regular one, and we are always blown away at how great the service is. Even when the lines are longer and online orders are also flooding in, Tayshaun & team always have a smile on their face and go above and beyond to make a customer’s order. The restaurant is always very clean as well!“
