50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Marina

“Delicious pizza with great crust. I would recommend the high rise crust especially. Employees are nice though sometimes, lines can be long and have longer waits. Ample seating is provided inside and outside and prices are reasonable. For the most part, the place is clean and well kept. To conclude, this is not a bad place to have a nice lunch or dinner.“

“Friendly staff members.Taking care of their Valued Customers; making sure they are satisfied and happy with their order(s)& visit. Will resolve any issue(s) right then --- whether it'll be replacing/suggesting an outage product with something similar. Or if an item(s) were missing or possibly not to the customers satisfaction --- they will make sure it's corrected.“

“I said it on Yelp and I’ll say it again!

The service here is great Veronica is always helpful whenever I go in to order! She's positive and offers remarkable customer service! The location is kept so clean! My sandwich always tastes and looks phenomenal! Thank you Veronica for always brightening up the day and making one delicious meatball marinara sandwich! Next time I'll have to remember to take a photo!“

“I have to say this Jack In the Box has the best staff in all of Marina. I frequent all the restaurants regularly and I have to say Gloria...is the kindest, human, beautiful person I have come across in a very long time. I am now devoted to Jack... McDonald's in Marina used to have nice staff but Matthew left and the manager there has denied EBT usage by saying the machine doesnt work. She is rude and makes the staff uncomfortable...people need jobs and we should be happy to serve...Gloria is a shining example. Give her a show of appreciation!!!“

“I was not prepared for the interior. By far the coolest Taco Bell I have ever been to, and probably ever visit. The decor and design of the restaurant is straight out of a 50's era diner.

I was greeted by a staff member when I entered and the food was pretty good. I highly recommend visiting this sure. I hope will certainly stop by again if I am nearby.“

“It was better than the Salinas restaurant. They were also very friendly.“

“Best hamburgers. Very fresh tasting.“

“it's a nice place to eat💯“

“good food. good musi. Service was wonderful“

“The burritos here are delicious as well as ginormous. If you’re starving, you’d probably be able to finish it in one sitting, but otherwise, I recommend sharing it or save it for later. I ordered the chorizo burrito along with an horchata, which were both very flavorful (btw you’re able to and even encouraged to get a refill on you’re agua fresca, which is super cool since I’ve never been to a restaurant that lets you do that:). Staff is really nice, the only thing that would’ve made the experience better is some background music.“

“I haven’t been to Carl’s jr in a while but let me tell you.. My family and I had went through the drive thru not too long ago and the service was great! Raquel helped us with our order. She was so kind and patient. with us. I loved our little experience so much that I just had to write a review ASAP!“

“I love salad vegetables, drink chicken sandwich , fries,“

“Just great 🍔 burgers! Service was excellent“

“Great tacos but the people running the drive thru really need to work on improving their English. Every time I go through I have issues with being understood, even when speaking slowly and clearly. It's frustrating to constantly have my order incorrectly put in despite me catering to the lack of English skills and trying to speak slower for them.“

“I'm in town for business and my partner and I happened to go in for dinner yesterday. Went back again this evening. Will be going by tomorrow to try a breakfast burrito before I leave town.
Growing up, I was very fortunate to have friends with mothers and grandmothers who were always making tortillas, corn and flower. There is nothing like fresh handmade tortillas.
This place is absolutely phenomenal. I am almost fifty years old and I have never gone to a Mexican restaurant that tastes homemade. I finally have. I cannot say enough good things about this food and the people that work there. This place is almost three hours from where I live and I'll be coming here as many times as I can.
Thank you guys for making this trip truly special.“

“To the last two employees tonight, April 11th, Thank you for making our samdwiches even after you had been closed for 11 minutes and things were being cleaned. I didnt get your names but you two are exceptional employees and hope the management recognizes you! ps the samdwiches were also made perfect!! Great Job Togo's!“

“This one always pays attention to product quality and presentation ❤️“

“best old fashioned greasy burger around 😋 patio burger is the best“

“Todo está súper delicioso mmm Thanks mi ♥️🧔♥️ hasta se olvidan de la dieta😂😂😂 a cuál ???“

“Wetzel’s Pretzels, Monterey

August 2026
My family decided to stop by and get their Cheesy Dog Bites and their Cin-A-Bitz. I think the Cheesy Dog Bites are new and they were absolutely delicious! The Cin-A-Bitz also came out piping hot and very buttery!

The place was packed but for good reasons! It was cold outside so I’m sure everyone just wants something hot to snack on.

Highly recommend to get these items. I would return if I’m in the area again.“

“Someone learned how to cook Sushi 🍣 Rice! Decided to give Poke House another chance for redemption, and they came through! Ono!! Shoots!!!“

“We had a good experience visiting El Pollo Loco.

The food was good, and the staff were polite during our visit. There was also plenty of seating available inside the restaurant, making it easy to find a place to sit.

Overall, we enjoyed our meal, although the price felt a little high for what we received.“

“Onion rings and frys cost the same. I always get Onion rings. 1st they are made fresh to order. 2nd they taste better. Recommend with ranch dipping sause. No real atmosphere in the drive through though.

Highly recommend ranch with breakfast Hashbrowns.“

“We stopped coming here about a year ago because it just wasn’t what it used to be. It’s usually kinda bad… but out of desperation, we went back one time and it was great! My husband went back a different day to order and hopefully run into the person who made it last time to let him know he did great. The sandwiches were once again perfect and he got Dylan’s name and this review is for Dylan! We will be back if we see him working“

“An employee working there has 17 years in that location.. everything he makes is made with gratitude and appreciation with love from within.

Vegetarian options: All veggie subs available

Dietary restrictions: Dietary restrictions are accommodated if applicable

Parking: Park in front or around the corner. No parking problems

Kid-friendliness: As far as I know. Children are welcome!“

“We ordered the Classic Falafel Wrap and a Make Your Own Wrap to go, and both were absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and was made with quality ingredients.
The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. Great food, great service, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“I had placed an online order got my food left & as I was eating I received the incorrect 1 of the items I got 2 hard shell tacos when it should of been 1 Dorito shell taco & 1 chalupa supreme & the nacho chips regardless of the incorrect item I at least received something rather than nothing but I just wanted to inform someone about it I wasn’t expecting anything in return but Gabby was so hospitable that she wanted to do something to resolve this problem I appreciate you Gaby 10/10 for your service thank you for your kindness“

“They're always wonderful, kind, quick, and so friendly. I've always loved subway, and I've been to many, all over the continent and a few overseas... this is by far my favorite.

there is a shorter, a little older, extremely kind, woman who works there and has for many years. She was there back when I was living out of the area and my visits home she would let me practice my (awful) Spanish to order my sandwich so I wouldn't forget (since I lived where there were virtually ZERO Spanish as a first language speaking people 🤦🏼‍♂️). Now that I'm home, and i order it through the app mostly, she always makes me feel confident in knowing my sandwich is going to be exactly what I ordered and never misses a chance to say "hola" as I pick up and go. She not only deserves to be recognized as an amazing employee - she deserves a raise. I would go out of the way to get a sandwich from her, as opposed to any other subway or sandwich shop. Honestly.“

“About 11.40 Monday July 24 2023 there was only one female worker she had a long line. The lady had a smile on her face. Fast but not sloppy. Great worker. I was impressed. Fast and yet attented everyone with a smile. You hardly ever see that.“

“My wife and I will be paying a visit to the Presidio in a few weeks. We have many fond memories there from 1986/1987 when I was a Polish student and she was a Czech student, both of us U.S. Army. We met there and were married in Pacific Grove on our lunch hour. In our minds it's a magical place (and a superb language school) that expanded our horizons. We're returning to the U.S. after many years overseas.“

“Foods ok serving size is not they get a spoon full to put on your plate and then shake half of it out and then give it to you I like the walnut shrimp that they charge you more for and then give you 4 or 5 shrimp come on put some shrimp in there and then if you say anything to them they just look at you with a blank stare like your crazy other than that its pretty good pretty crowded in there“

“Wendys - if yall like the food the Seaside one is an excellent Wendys. Chili is spicy/sweet, Baconators are big and not flat, the fries with skin on and good and well salted. We were not disappointed, our favorite Wendys foods are prepared with care, here. Good job.“

“I accidentally ordered from the wrong location thinking it was here on the app and the staff was so kind the whole time asking if I needed help and checking for my order even tho it wasn't here. Ended up ordering another sandwich from here to go and picking up the other one I accidentally ordered at the other location on the way home.“

“Busy place but they manage to get through everyone quickly. Even has a drive through. Much good to say about this place, only thing I was uncomfortable with was that the busier it gets the more people are packed in together, even for the patrons eating there they have another one standing right next to their table, too close for comfort for me. Other than that, I fully recommended“

“The food here is always great. We always call a head of time just to make sure the chow mein and orange chicken is ready sometimes it sells out QUICK! The atmosphere can be a be loud and hectic, but it’s. A great place. We get our food to go.“

“Ahh… a trip to Taco Bell, it’s always a gamble , a 50/50 it either goes exactly how you expect and hope to experience Taco Bell… or your trip to Taco Bell can go completely in the other direction. After a long day of travel, I found this Taco Bell in Seaside with my companion, we went to town on those ordering tablets, and this Taco Bell delivered, great food, environment, and refuge before falling again spell to highway hypnosis.“

“great outreach with Salinas PD👮‍♀️👮‍♂️❤“

“Loving the new sub place and it’s taken me so long to leave this overdue review. As I was looking for their phone number to call and see if they had power since power has been going off in the area, I was simply appalled at how many ignorant reviewers there are. As someone who has served in the hospitality business for well over 15 years, the water cup, the complaining about teenagers learning their first job, to the water cups, all these one star reviews from Karen’s are petty. Complaining about water cups when there is a Starbucks next door is redundant. Complaining about kids learning on the job is also redundant. Complaining about “possible” cross contamination- you can tell when people are completely ignorant to state protocols. Every time I’ve been into this establishment, and interacted with the staff, I immediately get the validation that these “kids” understand how important my business and my health is to them. They are proudly working to make my experience an unforgettable and safe one. From watching them wipe EVERYTHING down (and holding up the line) to ensure GF guests are safely served, to switching out gloves to ring me up- not sure why none of these people have a conversation with any of them- Adrian, the GM, will tell you himself how he prides himself on coaching these kids to help them develop their characters as they navigate through school and work. Whether they have someone from corporate or not, I’ve been here plenty of times to say that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting their corporate leaders, they always make you feel like you’re a friend who’s just in for a delicious sandwich, whether my sandwich touched lettuce from the previous sandwich or not, is irrelevant. As long as my sandwich wasn’t made on the floor, I always feel safe ordering a sub from people who take public safety, serious. People need to stay at home and make their own sandwiches if they’re not happy with the store’s protocols, at least your dogs and cats aren’t rolling around this establishment.“

“We had a good experience at this Jack in the Box.

The food was served hot and fresh. We placed our order through the mobile app to save time, and while there was still a short wait, it was reasonable.

The staff were polite, and the parking lot appeared to be clean and well maintained during our visit.

Overall, it was a solid stop for a quick meal and everything met our expectations.“

“Good job David, served me pretty long time ago but was super professional and fast and made my day that day so I asked him wat his name so I could write ✍️ him a review later well a hecka a lot of time later and this is it I hope he’s still working there very good employee great service from subway ?“

“Jesus, I think he’s the manager, if not he should be, has always gone above and beyond. He’s always kind and thoughtful especially on one of my hardest day. I was spending the last day with my old dog, & made a stop at BK. Jesus showed compassion by listening to our story and offered my puppy a pup cone, which I didn’t even know you had! He was able to enjoy his last moments with a sweet treat. Thank you for giving us a forever memory 💕“

“This gal came of her shift, at 8:06 pm tonight, and STOKED my 7 year old boys… and me. She had the Christmas Spirit and this was the last place we expected it, and actually, the first Christmas Spirit of the Season. My kids said that was so nice… and I agree. Merry Christmas to you wonderful lady. 🎄“

“Went for the new smash burger combo. Sat at the drive in booth for 15 minutes pressing the button. Realized I had run out of time and went through the drive thru instead, was served instantly. Food was good because its sonic but the original roller blade experience has been left in 2012.“

“Blanca took my order in drive through .
She was very attentive, polite, my food was very much fresh 😋 and delicious as always 😋 .
Sometimes I walked to the park and after that, I stopped by This 🍗 KFC, because this is my favorite location 😋 😍
My baby and I really enjoyed this chicken 🐔 😋“

“10/10 I had a great experience at this Subway location. The restaurant was clean, well-organized, and the staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They took their time making my sandwich exactly how I wanted it, and all of the ingredients looked fresh. My order was made quickly, and the customer service really stood out. It’s nice to find a location that consistently provides good food and treats customers with respect. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend this Subway to others“

“I love eating here. The honey walnut shrimp is my favorite! We've eaten here twice, and i can't wait to go back. The servings are great for the price! It's clean and kid friendly. The staff are friendly as well. It's right next to trader Joe's and across is Chipotle. The parking isn't that bad either.“

“We had a good experience visiting Subway.

The staff were polite and helpful during our visit. This location is connected to Baskin-Robbins and shares the same staff.

Our visit went smoothly, and the restaurant was easy to access.

Overall, it was a good experience with friendly service.“

“I had a good experience at McDonald’s. Ordering ahead through the mobile app helped make the process quick and smooth during my visit.

The parking lot looked clean, the line moved quickly, and the staff were friendly throughout the experience.

This location also provided paper straws instead of plastic ones.

Overall, it was a fast and convenient stop with no major issues during my visit.“

“I have been comming to this location for about a year now. this is the best mcdonald's I have ever been to much better than the one by the wharf.The dinning area is spacious and clean the employees brought my food to my table within 5 minutes after ordering.“
