50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Lake Balboa

“I first tried to come here on the grand opening but was super busy. I figured I wait a little before trying it so it isn’t too busy. Today I finally decided to give it a shot and I was not disappointed. Jay was super friendly and helpful. I arrived a little early for the order and he assured me it’ll be ready in a few minutes. The pizza was really good along with the wings. Definitely will be coming back!“

“Fast food is fast food. This is review is to bring a spotlight to Jessica and her great attitude at all times of her shifts. No matter how late or early, she is always very positive and welcoming with a amazing attitude. I have been here on multiple occasions and she has the same great smile and attitude no matter what. Jessica's amazing customer service seriously needs to appreciated and acknowledged by the district or area manager, as she is destined for great things.“

“They turned off the music in the restaurant. It is pretty quiet, since they turned off the Muzak. Plan on spending 5-10min for indoor orders to go. Drive Thru 2-5min. EBT is currently accepted along with the normal forms of payment. I miss the background music, please bring it back :(“

The sauces were great, pickle was great, falafel and chicken were fresh. I will be ordering more in the future. Love to support Palestinian-owned business.“

“I come here usually on the weekends because the food always tastes better in my opinion. And when I do I go for the western bacon and a side of onion rings. And what I said before the food is always better on the weekends specifically at night. I always get helped by Gustavo and he does a good job to make sure everything’s perfect. So thanks to him and the chef too in the back. I always try to recommend this spot to people in town because it’s one of my favorite fast food places! Always a 10/10 for me and thanks for now starting to be open 24/7🙌“

“Came in later in the night but Israel came right up to take my order they made my order quick appreciate the friendly service“

“Had the California Double Cheeseburger combo. Was under nine dollars and the burger tasted great, just the silver dollar sized patties inside of a bun 3/4 of an inch bigger all the way around makes you feel ripped off. When I dine in, which I did, I try to pick the best deal. They changed the whole menu in the place now. There is no value at Carl's now either. Started with them before the inflation. The 2 for 5 everywhere else gets was 2 for 5.99 and in very small print on the sign. Just an example. Carl's Jr. Always used to have something cheap. Now the best you can get there is the big carl and the California double. Combos both under 10 bucks. Both with small drink and fries. The rest of the menu..pffft. Can go sit in a restaurant like olive garden and eat unlimited soup and salad cheaper. Carl's did away with green burrito. The salad bar. The 99 cent famous star. And the staff. Took 25 minutes to get our food. They need something on that menu thats cheap. The 2 for 6 they advertise on TV. I havent checked but ill bet its two for 6.99 here. Silver dollar size chicken patty and hamburger patty. They both used to be in the number 13 combo. Under 9 bucks. Also had a cookie. No value anymore. Had a shake afterwards. 2 for 7.99. Can buy a half gallon of ice cream and make 6 shakes the size of the 2 I got for 2.99.“

“The food was very good and the cashier Vallerie was also very nice and polite very good sales person, love that she speaks both English and Spanish. She’s very helpful in bring extra ketchup or jalapeños to are table.

Kid-friendliness: It’s very kid friendly“

“Good food. Dined indoors with my friends.“

“Store #1100263. Sometimes you can just tell when people work hard and go above and beyond what is being asked of them. I had that impression today of Jasmine. If Jasmine is a manager, she needs a raise. If Jasmine is not a manager, she needs to be one. She ran the front and the drive thru line by herself, and still able to tend to the customers requests. If I owned a franchise I would want her leading my team.“

“The Hamburgers they prepare at this Carls Jr are always well made and hot, the employees are very helpful and attentive, I liked the Famous Star 2.99 special, and the Lemonade they make at home, there are always clean tables to eat and enjoy the meal.“

“The cashier provided outstanding customer service. She is assertive and Waba knowledgeable! The food is great! I recommend the chicken and steak bowl with a splash of teriyaki sauce! This location has a good atmosphere and my order was given to me pronto! Go Waba!“

“Yummy food. Always our stops all the way from Chicago“

“I got my first Flooky's order yesterday. I did not eat that order until about 3 hours after I brought it home. Was it delicious? Indeed“

“Very awesome upbeat cashier.
Food was great and waffle fries perfectly soft.
Only thing I didn't care for is not understanding only mens bathroom was avaible for me to use..
Will come again and like the 24 hours. Option“

“This little place rocks, great food!!!“

“Delicious. We had 3 different burgers and they didn't disappoint. it was my best burger yet.“

“Came in on a Sunday and was immediately greeted by Leo. Leo was super welcoming, friendly and gave us recommendations on what we should try for the first time. We got lemon pepper and hot agave. First off, the wings are a great size compared to other spots in the area. The seasoning is absolutely on point and the flavors are immaculate!! From the service to the food this is definitely our new wing place. I'm excited to come back and see what the other flavors taste like. Thanks again Leo for your hospitality!

“I was having a late night craving so decided to head to CJs. I ordered their $7.99 small combo deal. I got the bacon double cheeseburger with fries and a cherry coke.

The burger was very flavorful and delicious, the fries were pretty good but overdone. The Cherry coke was good and had perfect carbonation. It satisfied my late night craving to a tee.“

“Thank you 🙏🏽 for your generosity pollo campero and staff from the laboratory here at Pacifica hospital of the valley!!!“

“SO GOOD! First time here & it was a REALLY good experience! The portions are HUGE & the prices are so AFFORDABLE!

“Possibly the best burrito bowl I've ever had in my life. And the workers are really nice! Honestly it is a must try. You won't even notice you're in a gas station. Don't forget about the salad bar with the roasted jalapenos either. Thank me later.“

“Almost always go through the Drive-thru since it is the most relaxing part of going to In-N-Out. ✌??

Parking: A large parking lot but it can get crowded on weekends. When that happens the Drive-Thru is the next best choice.“

“Excellent, as always.

Vegetarian options: Off menu you can ask for them to make you a grilled cheese sandwich. And there's always fries. A salad burger? I don't think they offer impossible burgers or if they plan to. I'm not completely familiar with their seekrit menu but I do know that they are very open to customizing orders if you ask. I never thought about this until I met a vegetarian person while eating in visiting from the east coast where they don't have in n out. Felt really bad that I didn't think of this sooner and also everyone should have access to in n out. But I'm a huge fan. Depending on your restrictions you can probably find something but if you're looking for a wide variety of options a burger restaurant is probably not a great place to start. Vegans will definitely have a hard time.

Parking: There is some parking. Not a lot. Enough? There is one drive thru lane which is always a popular option at in n out.

Kid-friendliness: Do not specifically cater to children besides having a kid's meal. Hopefully your child likes burgers. Or french fries. Or milkshakes.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible entryway. Be careful though because at least one of the walkways to one of the entrances does have you cross the drive through, so it's important to be mindful of this especially since it's after people have gotten their food and may be checking their order or in a big hurry to dig in to their food or just not paying attention for whatever reason. This has happened to me a non-zero number of times as a pedestrian. Fortunately I was paying attention. It is marked in yellow but I'm not a huge fan of this design choice.“

“my first time here, very friendly staff, professional, clean and very tasty food . merc yade tehran rp zende kardin vasam“

“Out flight arrived almost an hour early and our ride was running late so we looked on Google maps for somewhere to eat and relax. We discovered "The Hut" and were very happy with our experience. The staff was friendly and the food was tasty. I got a bacon cheeseburger meal and my friend got pizza fries and a breakfast sandwich. Everything was great! Limted indoor tables but we happily sat outside. Only suggestion is: I wish there was a restroom.“

“Great for bringing the family together around a real roast chicken with light and crispy fries, stop and enjoy, you will not be disappointed, well done to the smiling and fast team, very clean, perfect establishment

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Super practical“

“Like why is there never no ranch at this location ?? Can’t even order fried zucchini / chicken stars with ranch … always offered bbq sauce but never no ranch I go to other locations and there is never an issue but I perfer this one cuz it’s close to home and the people r friendly . This has been going on for a long time . I’m just saying someone needs to order right . If yall gonna b so expensive at least provide the ranch !!! Bring back the ranch 💯😉“

“I do have a question, though. Can chili be shipped to Hawaii, so my Former Broworker, Tim Hawkins, can have a “Little taste of home?”“

“It’s a nice little spot, service is quick and friendly, and the burgers taste like homemade in opinion. The great for the price 👌🏾
I had a double hickory burger with cheese and it was good, it comes with a chilli dog sauce, is not really strong and combines well with the burger. I would say that the patties are house made not frozen but I’m not sure and I didn’t ask. The fries are just normal but good and non of the food was very salty which is good tha way it is and you always can add some more if you like.“

“Good service super clean friendly staff“

“From someone whose lived in the valley my whole life and tried many different Taco Llama's, this is the best one so far. It's consistently great since I go at least every other week. Everything I've ordered has been great quality... Perfectly seasoned and cooked asada and they are not stingy with quantity. The hard working ladies there are always friendly and helpful.“
