47 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Lake Forest

“There was 7 of us in town for a conference and we stumbled upon Hole in the Wall Burger! Burger was delicious the service outstanding and special sauce of the chart’s. Next time I’m in the area I’ll definitely be stopping by and have a burger!“

“Food was really great, flavorful, decently priced, accommodations were decently comfortable and clean, and the owner was attentive and really cares about his customers. There’s a lot of Mediterranean food that is good here in Lake Forest, but for a medium fast speed spot, this is one I would visit again.“

“Got pastrami dip sandwich, small bowl of chili, tuna melt sandwich and large fries.

Their pastrami is sliced super thin and not salty like other places. I could only eat half. Nice size.

Last time we ordered the pastrami chili cheese fries. That order was massive and fed at least 4 people.

This time we got bowl of chili on the side. Chili was bland, needed salt. We used it to dip with the fries to make our own version of chili cheese fries.

Overall, decent quality quick meal and large portion.“

“Great place to eat best pizza 🍕“

“Went yesterday and met the owner, what a nice guy! We loved the chili dog and the ice cream. Thank you for making us feel welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the ice cream, and the great chili dogs. We wish you many years of success and community involvement.“

“I had a great experience at Mr. G’s Taco Shop! I tried the shrimp burrito, taquitos, and the three-taco plate with chicken al pastor, and everything was delicious. The shrimp burrito was packed with flavor, the taquitos were crispy and tasty, and the chicken al pastor tacos were definitely a highlight.

The drinks were delicious, and the chili was excellent—definitely added an extra kick and made the meal even better.

Overall, everything was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. I’d definitely recommend giving Mr. G’s Taco Shop a try if you’re looking for some good Mexican food!“

“I took advantage of Arby’s $1 shake with purchase meal deal they have going on through Arby’s Rewards. I originally wanted to get curly fries but with the coupon I had to spend at least $10, so I decided to try their new Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich with curly fries and a chocolate shake.

I would definitely try this new sandwich again! The meat and barbecue sauce tasted REALLY good! Their curly fries were on point. I think the milkshake made my stomach hurt a bit, I noticed there was an excess of chocolate sauce at the bottom. But overall, I would try it again (the sandwich).“

“I haven’t been to an Arby’s for years, hesitated by seeing a 2.9 star review at Yelp. Honestly, it was one of the best experiences. Delicious roast beef and great dessert options. And the crew was super nice. I wanted to keep ringing the customer satisfaction bell. Good job guys.“

“I sure do love how you can create your own pizza without costing so much for every topping that is needed in every pizza place I’ve gone through like everyone else Pizza Hut, Domino, Little Caesar, that’s getting to be ridiculous. Just created and enjoy it.“

“This spot is great for hungry teens or adults to grab an after school snack, dine in, or get a meal to go. \n‘Twas hard to believe the perfectly cooked brown rice and generous portions of my “half and half” bowl—beef n chicken with veggies topped by their Magic Sauce—-totally delicious!“

“My hangout, healthy choices and some items under $5 while earning points ���“

“Good place to grab their famous chili style menu. Great tasting food that can be messy to to eat but thats OK. Good flavor. Service is a tab slow so anticipate a small wait. Fries are average until you get chili cheese on them, then their sensational. Good place to try if you desire a different style of burger“

“One of the cleanest locations I've been to. Tree he counter staff were friendly and efficient. The food came out and everything was fresh. The fries were fresh and hit as well as the chicken tenders were perfect. A wonderful contrast to any other fast food chain I've visited in the past 5 years. Kudos to the team and owners for caring about the customers.“

“Food and service are great and consistent. One small glitch in the system, however. They recently put up multiple signs that state “condiments only on request” they no longer ask if you want sauce. Had to put in quite a bit of effort to score a couple packets of Scorcho. Supply chain issues? There is another location across the street. I’ll go there next time and see what they are up to.“

“For the store being close to the corporate office…they weren’t super fast :/. Which is surprising because as a former employee of 5 years, they were always on our a$$ to get the time down and have fast service. I actually timed it and they took almost 5 minutes. Which is considered bad back when I was a manager. Sooooo double standards?? Anyways onto the real review. Food was hot and crispy. The guy forgot to give me my drink which I waited for.“

“Good pho to get especially so close to my house. I like the service as well I'm not sure what his name is but he's so kind to me and my family every time we come in. The pho is good and I also get their pork chop.
Amazing!!! I've never gotten it to go so l always eat in but so far I love the food and everyone is so nice.“

“Okay, first, these are the the best subs. The breads are perfect: not too hard so insides squeeze out, not to soft so it does get smushy, great flavor. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, Mike's Way for herbs, and a wee spicy spread... chef's kiss. 🤤 I recently left my phone at the counter and the staff happily gave it back the next day. 🥰“

“When me and my family visited the staff was polite, respectful, and helpful. There was no line nor was it busy by the time me and my family arrived so we arrived on a slow day 1 hour before they closed. The food was delicious and the staff there was helpful and attentive. Definitely recommend for a great and friendly place for a sandwich.“

“While our bean and cheese burritos were substantial, it was hard to taste either the green sauce or any cheese. It seemed more like a tortilla full of beans. So, not really up to standards or expectations. The ice tea was very good and the speed of service was also good.“

“I love visiting this particular Subway because they have the freshest ingredients and Sugey who’s truly a sandwich artist makes great sandwiches! I just ask her to surprise me and in fact, she never fails! Such an awesome and polite and lady always with a big smile and very positive energy! Definitely ask her for the breakfast sandwich!“

“The hamburgers were fresh and hot. Just made. They were very good and they always honor their coupons.We think Jack in the box is so much better then McDonalds on Mission just 2vblicks from Jack in the Box.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Meals just fir them.

Wheelchair accessibility: Good access and all one level.“

“I came in at around evening and the place wasn’t busy at all, so I didn’t have to wait. David at the front counter was very helpful when I came in and offered me a cup-carrier while my food was preparing. And he was very friendly as I was walking out. Thank you.

I ordered the Ultimate Cheeseburger Combo with Seasoned Curly Fries, Oreo Shake and Chocolate Overload Cake. The cake and ice cream worked well together for me and the cheeseburger was nice and juicy in the middle. The curly fries were also pretty good but there were so many I couldn’t finish them all, but I’m not complaining.

Overall I rate my first time at this Jack In The Box location a 4/5.“

“This place is a neighborhood favorite, and I know some people who even come here from elsewhere in Orange county! Prices are great, food portions are large and delicious, and the staff are friendly. Everything you want in a great Chinese takeout restaurant, I'm happy to be a regular here.“

“Del Taco, is quickly becoming my favorite fast food chain for when I have Taco cravings. This location is one of the best in Lake Forest, with a 24-hour drive through and all-day breakfast. They treat me fair and friendly every time too, and also is a nice quiet place for dinner. Favorite entrees include the chicken quesadilla, the steak quesadilla taco, and the bean and cheese burrito with green chili.

Vegetarian options: Limited vegetarian options including bean burritos, salads, and nachos. However, most are made in the same kitchen as meat-based items.

Parking: Handicap spots at the store front, and part of a general shopping center that is rarely busy, so it's easy to find parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Two entrances with single manual doors. Wheelchair accessible counter but the soda fountain is not wheelchair accessible.“

“Great experience at El Pollo Loco! The chicken was fresh, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and had a delicious fire-grilled flavor. The sides were tasty, portions were generous, and everything was served quickly. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly and efficient. A great option when you want something flavorful and satisfying without feeling like typical fast food. Definitely coming back!“

“They were quick. 15 minutes for two medium pizzas and breadsticks. Also polite. Said may I help you and thank you for coming.“

“wanted to give a quick shoutout to Daniel- he’s always on top of things even when its super busy and always goes the extra mile to make sure my order is correct and that I have enough sauces etc… may seem trivial but it really does make a big difference! 🙏🙏“

“I eat at this subway often, I've never had any issues.Food quality is good, the place is clean and was recently updated.Staff is friendly and quick.Only downsides: parking lot is small and can get busy (so often I'll just walk over) and I wish they had Diet Dr. Pepper“

“Such an amazing time here at the LIVE MAS CAFE GRAND OPENING! The kids loved it, we loved it, the workers and managers where all so nice! Everybody was viking and having a good time. The drinks are really good. I got the vanilla latte blended! Can't wait to try all the drinks!“

“Last visit burrito bowl was great. Love it when they don't skimp on the meat.“

“I recently visited McDonald's and had a pleasant experience. The restaurant had a familiar and welcoming atmosphere that made it a convenient place to enjoy a quick meal. The staff were friendly, polite, and provided efficient service during my visit. The ordering process was simple, and my food was prepared quickly. The menu offered a wide variety of classic favorites, drinks, and snacks to choose from. The food was fresh, hot, and tasted consistent with what I expected from McDonald's. I especially enjoyed the convenience and reliability of the menu options. The restaurant was clean, organized, and comfortable for customers. The employees worked efficiently to keep everything running smoothly. I appreciated the quick service while still receiving friendly customer care. The prices were reasonable, and there were many affordable options available. The atmosphere was casual and suitable for families, friends, or a quick stop during a busy day. I liked the convenience of being able to enjoy a familiar meal in a comfortable setting. The staff made sure my order was accurate and handled everything professionally. It is clear that the team puts effort into providing a good experience for customers. I would definitely return to McDonald's when looking for a fast and convenient meal. I have already recommended it to others who enjoy classic fast-food options. Overall, McDonald's offers reliable food, friendly service, and a convenient dining experience. I look forward to visiting again soon.“

“Love this El Pollo Loco near my work. I’ve been coming herea lot for over two years since my job moved into the area, and the food is consistently good every single time. The manager and staff are always friendly, welcoming, and on top of things. Reliable spot with great service.“

“Just like the taste of their food... so good..:)“

“We always enjoy coming to the Panda Express on El Toro. It’s clean, the staff is friendly, and the food’s consistently fresh. Our go-to is the teriyaki chicken with half chow mein and half fried rice. It’s a winning combo every time. I used to be skeptical about rounding up at the register, so I took some time to research Panda Cares, including using AI to review the information available. After doing that, I felt confident supporting it. I was impressed to learn that 100% of customer donations go to the charitable programs it supports, since the company covers the administrative costs. Now I’m happy to round up when I visit. Great service, great food, and a program I feel good about supporting.“

“Extremely nice staff very fast! 😊“

“The Chick-Fil-A in Foothill Ranch is excellent! The chicken nuggets, waffle fries, Mac and cheese, and fruit cups are always freshly prepared and absolutely delicious! My two toddler sons and I go to this location approximately twice a week, and every visit I am always impressed by how good the service is and how incredibly CLEAN everything is. My sons absolutely love coming here, because the food is so yummy and they love playing in the indoor playground. Additionally, the owner of the Chick-Fil-A is amazing! She is very kind, helpful, and generous with customers. She takes the time to talk with my toddler sons every visit and it is evident that she truly cares about providing guests with a great experience! This is literally the BEST Chick-Fil-A location, and I highly recommend checking it out!“

“i had an incredible experience dining in at this pizza hut. employee by the name of Cesar had through the roof customer service skills while we dined. i 100% recommend eating within the restaurant, rather than the traditional to go route. i hope cesar recieves the recognition he deserves and hopefully a raise is in his near future!“

“This restaurant is my preferable place. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this restaurant. Whenever I feel like having a decent dinner, this restaurant comes right away to my head. splendid and food and a rich cuisine.courteous staff members, and great atmosphere. And very important, the price is decent. I sent my friends to this spot with no hesitation.“

“When I was here the worker, Gavin helped me out I told him I needed the new “ PUNCHMADE VERITY MEAL “ and he saluted to me and said “ verity verity verity verity verity “, I was quite pleased with this because he then put in a order of a 20 pc with a Diet Coke, he knew that Marlon was in the building and that I don’t drink regular coke because I have to MOG and slay the ltb’s. I got my food and it had extra VER1TY sauce on it freaky style. Gavin then came to my table and whispered verity in my ears and then proceeded to tell me he was “escaping the matrix” with his friend, bhagyesh Padwal.“

“Quiet, very cool to a point of too cold. But even tho I only ordered a sundae eis Becker mit choko & karamel sauce, they didn't have a timer on the time I stayed connected to internet on.me phone. Guess cause it wasn't busy.

Kid-friendliness: They had the.kids play area with the climbing /slide fun house there. The boys who visited enjoyed it tremendously.“

“I like this location, they don't short you on the meat portions as other locations do. My only recommendation for improvement is to complete online orders in time. Have been 3 times since October and had to wait for my online order to be ready despite arriving a few minutes after the order was supposed to be ready for pickup. Other than that, great location.“

“You can tell a lot about a restaurant just by looking at the staff - whether they are just goofing around to pass time or genuinely working hard with great service in mind.

This WaBa Grill passed my litmus test with flying colors in that regard, and by the way, this was my first visit!

I ordered a chicken and steak combo. It came with a small portion of salad and a few mini dumplings on the side, which was not bad at all.

What surprised me the most was the sauce, which tasted just perfect; not too sweet, not too salty, but really, really great both with chicken and steak!!

I have a feeling that I will become a regular from now on. Thank you guys!🙏“

“I've been here a few times and always have a good experience, but today was exceptional! They were out of chicken when I arrived, so I had to wait a few minutes. Zack was amazing—he offered chips, guac, and a soda while I waited and apologized multiple times. Very polite and respectful, The whole team was friendly, and even the cook apologized. Great service—I’ll definitely keep coming back“

“Mari and crew always consistent never miss, I drive by 3 jack n the box from my house to come to the lake forest jack n the box, On el toro.always nice and friendly love this jack. Keep up the hard work thank you guys for your great customer service“

“Great pizza and I have ordered it from time to time, but I am saddened to learn that John Schnatter is stepping down as CEO. Seems like he cannot be allowed to speak his mind. His reaction to NFL protests was not allowed? Is principle secondary to sales? Shame on you Papa John. I will still buy from you, but I think this sucks.“

“Clean, quick and friendly.“
