50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Highland Park

“If you think every Taco Bell is the same you couldn’t be more incorrect! For instance the Taco Bell in Eagle Rock is total trash; the chips taste like they were fried in part oil, part disinfectant spray—the spot has “low vibrations” in that meta way (like a west side person would say). The HLP Taco Bell is by far my favorite in LA—I will go out my way to get food from here (although I do live down the street…). 99% of the time they crush my wild veggie modifications and everything is consistent and super tasty. Plus the people who work here seem to have a sweet work community and are really nice to customers and each other. Taco Bell has always by far been the best fast food chain for veggies and I’ve got no shame admitting among my foodie friends how much I adore Taco Bell, but particularly THIS store. Thank you HLP Taco Bell for making my weird vegetarian visions come to life! Y’all are artists!

P.S. the Taco Bell at Santa Nella on the 5 is also an all-star location.

P.P.S. Del Taco is dumb unless it’s the Barstow Del Taco.“

“I have been coming to this Subway for several years now and it has been a very solid spot for me. I typically order through the mobile app, the food is always ready on time when I arrive. Special shout to Sarah who makes the best bread of all the Subway locations I have patronized. She greets all her customers with a smile and is very speedy with her service. This location is highly recommended!“

“There was a woman working this morning around 3:30AM who recommended the creamy avocado ranch sauce which is incredibly tasty and made my meal experience much better. Now I know to get the avocado lime sauce which pairs perfectly with curly fries and chicken tenders. If you're reading this, I thoroughly enjoyed your recommendation. Not all heroes wear capes.“

“I never knew that this place existed. A few months ago, I saw a video short online about Krispy Krunchy Chicken. I looked on Google Map and saw that this place was a few miles from my house.
I ordered the 12 piece chicken only. The gentleman told me that it would take 20 minutes. I watched him make the chicken. The gentleman was very nice.
My husband and I had a late lunch of Krispy Krunchy chicken. The chicken was delicious. The batter was crunchy and seasoned perfectly. Chicken was moist and not dry. If I'm in the area, I will definitely come back for the chicken.“

“The staff there is very nice. The restaurant is very clean inside and outside. The food is always at the right temperature. There's hardly ever any line in the drive-thru. Unfortunately it looks like they need more staff, there are very few employees working there. I believe the issue is a corporate issue and not local management issue. All things considered this location is great.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Delicious !! Enjoyed the East Los atmosphere..😋💞“

“Stop4Shawarma is one of the best places I have ever visited. The food is always fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. Every meal is made with care, and you can tell that quality is very important to them. The shawarma is amazing, the portions are generous, and everything tastes homemade. No matter what I order, I am always satisfied.
What makes this place even more special is the owner. The owner is incredibly kind, welcoming, and hardworking. They truly care about every customer who walks through the door. They always make sure everyone feels comfortable and happy with their experience. It is clear that they put a lot of effort into both the food and the customer service.
The restaurant is very clean, organized, and inviting. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. The staff is respectful, professional, and always ready to help with a smile.I appreciate how consistent
Stop4Shawarma is. The food is always high quality, the service is always excellent, and customers are treated with respect. It is not easy to find a restaurant that cares so much about both its food and its customers, but Stop4Shawarma does exactly that.
I highly recommend Stop4Shawarma to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service. If you have not tried it yet, you are missing out on an amazing experience.This restaurant deserves all the support and recognition it receives. I will definitely continue coming back and recommending it to others.“

“I've been to many burger spots in my life, but I've never had a burger as good as the Chef Burger from Burger Bun. I'm talking perfectly seasoned beef, and delicious (but not overpowering) burger sauce, crisp vegetables, and the brioche bun is spectacular. There's no burger in Glendale that even comes close. The wings are also some of the best I've ever had and the homemade sauces are so, so tasty. The fries are perfect, and they have amazing milkshakes too. To top it all off, the service is ridiculously good, and the prices are fair. This is my go-to spot in town.“

“Probably the best pastrami sandwich I’ve ever had“

“The food was on point every bite had flavor. Looking for a classic with a lot of different options you found it. Staff was friendly and helpful gave good recommendations. Dinning area has tvs and music playing and super clean area. Will be back for sure.“

“I just read this article in Los Angeles Magazine July 2022 about Lucky Boy !! very cool great place!! A Pasadena Landmark“

“the pulled pork sandwich was amazing! Will return to try other delights“

“This place was always my go-to for pastrami! But over the period of time, employees has gotten very rude, unlike the old employees when I used to come almost every week. Now all they do is serve their food, nobody there shows customer service anymore!“

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“

“Carl's jr triple famous star ok to eat not unhealthy don't add cheese I added extra onions green chilies with coffee great taste I see other people review. California economy. Newsom. Under staffed true vegetarian people don't go here. Hamburgers are their specialty. The people are not diet nutrition experts. Look at the food to order.“

“Carl’s Jr lured me back with the Cali xl burger promotion and I have enjoyed every burger/chicken sandwich since! This location is close to work and I have never had a bad experience. Stopped in the other night and asked for the promotion that came in my email but I was a day late. The mgr honored it for me anyway. Great customer service…and now great food too!“

“Great food and huge portions! The pastrami was fresh, flavorful, and packed with meat. Fries were delicious, and the staff was friendly and fast. Restaurant was clean, and the service was excellent. Definitely one of the best spots for sandwiches and comfort food. Highly recommend!“

“3/5/26

So for my last night with My Dad before headed home we decided to give this place a try. It's a walk up window order and pick up inside if staying or can get to go outside window as well. 50's diner style. Me and my dad got #12 Turkey Grinder combo and a #14 Roast beef dip combo comes with fries and a drink. Service was good and attentive, Very friendly. My Turkey was good I really enjoyed. Bread was really fresh to me. My dad's he enjoyed I tried it and was very tender meat. Fries were fresh and salted just right and being crispy. We both enjoyed very much . I will be back soon to try more stuff when down to visit .

Enjoy !!!!“

“First time trying this place out as it was only 6 mins away from my grandma’s home. Authentic filipino food right here! Pork bbq was so soft and actually had “taba” in it also I tried their dinakdakan and I really felt that I was transported back to the Philippines. That’s how good it tasted!“

“Great customer service and terrific food. Love the breakfast burritos.“

“The food was sooo good! 10/10 presentation! The service was also top notch, it absolutely made our visit so much better. I highly recommend this place. Thank you to the lady that helped us out. You were amazing. You can tell instantly how much they love and appreciate the people who stop by to eat.“

“I stopped by the Carl’s Jr. right off the 605 freeway in Whittier to grab something small to eat, and I’m so glad I did. Adriana provided amazing service—she was patient even though I took a little long to order, and her friendly, welcoming attitude made a great impression. Her positive energy really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you Adriana“

“After closing michoachan number three on Soto I was happy to find this hidden gem , carne Asad paired with there iconic roasted salsa was amazing took me back in time . Found my lunch spot after losing the world's best quesidilla for over 10 years“

“I've come to this location so many times over the years and it's always been consistently good. I usually just use the drive thru but the service is always fast. Ambiance in this area is ok, due to the PCC being nearby and it helping the area be good. The food itself is always fantastic. The Big Carl is like a Big Mac, but better (and I am a huge Big Mac enthusiast). The limited-edition churro milkshake is fantastic btw, please give it a try if it's still available by the time you read this.“

“Very Clean and the staff are all very respectful.“

“Great food, great portions for a reasonable cost. I’m a happy camper. 👍😬👏“

“I’ve been coming here for years because I literally live a block away. The place has increased in price since I first came here and the menu has changed and what I used to get is no longer on the menu. LION KING ROLL is my goto. It’s delicious. However….. Today as I approached the counter to get my food, a homeless girl walks in barges right next to me as my order is being processed and given to me, and asks “y’all got any miso soup?!?” Stinky and obviously covered in filth, no bath for probably years and a dirty soiled blanket wrapped around her, I was instantaneously disgusted. Miso soup was given to her and I don’t know what else because I got outta there before she could even ask me for money or whatever! You feed a pigeon and what happens??? A dozen or more come. This is a simile; a point I’m trying to make. Homeless are the root of the problems here in Koreatown. You feeding them is the hand the feeds the problem.“

“Great tasting Indonesian food. Really authentic.“

“The food was wonderful and the service was ok, but I love it anyways and I recommend going here“

“Such a great hospitality! During this difficult times I Loved the fact that today they were so special with the costumers and shared a fresh cut 🌹.“

“The Service: Service is very efficient. Freshly made to order. Order at the counter & the staff even hand delivered the food to all customers' tables (either dine-in or take out), super nice! The Food: Hot & Spicy burger: I "upgraded" my burger, adding some avocado & bacon! OMG! Love the sauce & the jalapeño in my burger. Onion Ring: Great batter, super crispy! Strawberry Milkshake: Very creamy and not overly sweet! Just the way I like it~ Wings: The staff highly recommended me to try their wings. Sweet & Spicy flavor! Perfect combination~ I didn't know they have breakfast menu too? I got to come back & try out their breakfast soon~ They open at 8am. Perfect to grab freshly made breakfast before work! The Parking: Street metered parking. Side streets are residential area (parking free).“

“The chicken was freshly prepared with a light, crispy batter. I must admit I would've liked a bit more seasoning on it. My husband wished that there would've been an onion and pickle option for his sandwich, but the hot sauce helped. The place was very clean and well stocked... including the bathroom🎉. My server was kind and helpful... which I needed since I'd never been there.“

“Famous star tonight was "Bustin"“

“Das beste Sandwich was ich in den USA gegessen hab! Nette ,schnelle Bedienung, frische Zutaten und trotzdem schnell zubereitet. Die Produkte sind geschmackliche nicht dieser gewohnte Einheitsbrei. Frisch gepresster Orangensaft und viele regionale Produkte.“

“No matter who is the cashier, the service is always excellent. And it's not just me, I see how they are with other customers. I always get the chicken burrito because I just love burritos.“

“Carl’s Jr. exceeded my expectations with its delicious food and clean environment. Patricia, the manager, was incredibly friendly and made the experience even better by ensuring every customer felt welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend going when manager Patricia is working !!

Vegetarian options: lettuce wrap burger“

“Great food, good service, super friendly“

Can't wait to try something different on their menu.“
