50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Oceanside

“This is probably the best In-N-Out we have been to. We are avid In-N-Out goers and this has the be the best we have been to. The food comes out quick, they seem to be very efficient. Jarod was all over the place helping people out, opening doors for people and cleaning up. I highly recommend this In-N-Out.“

“Busy but still quick. There is always a long line for the drive through so we dine in. But even the line seems to move quickly. Bit of a wait for dining room seat but there's always a table or two outside. That said, In N Out is always a win. Great food. Good price. Love it.“

“It was my first time here and I was greeted with exceptional hospitality by the man training his new employees who looked eager to learn. The food smells incredible and the restaurant was very clean and vibrant. FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE, I got the medium spicy slider and my girlfriend got the Mac and cheese slider. Definitely coming back for seconds.“

“We had such a great experience with L&L Catering! I actually went into the store beforehand to try the food, and Crystal was so helpful and welcoming. She made the whole process really easy and was so kind to everyone who came in.

The food for our event was SO good, and the service was amazing. All of our guests loved everything and kept complimenting the food! It made catering for our event so easy and stress-free.

We’ll definitely be using L&L again for future events. Highly recommend them!“

“I love it the service was fenomenal the food great“

“I had the carnitas nachos and they had literally 4 strands of meat. The "cheese" was liquid, the sour cream was a dollop size and had a million of jalapeño slices and 10 gazillion nachos o and maybe 2 spoonfuls of beans. Soup spoonfuls. Worst fast food ever. Boise Id“

“The drive thru is typically always quick at this location. The food has always been freshly made never cold, never room temperature either. It is always good.The one working the drive thru is very friendly and demonstrates excellent customer care. I enjoy hearing them say "you, got it" "would that complete your order?" (instead of saying is that all) "have a good night".“

“Food was prepared quickly - restaurant was extremely clean & friendly service! I highly recommend this location for delicious fried chicken, fried shrimp & fried chicken strips- and don’t forget the yummy sides- like Mac n cheese, red beans & rice, cole slaw, mashed potatoes w/gravy & buttery biscuits!!“

“This location has friendly workers and the food is made perfectly, also clean. Great customer service.“

“I tried to leave a survey on the panda survey but it didn’t let me highlight Anita the cashier at the time, she had great customer service and helped accommodate us, and was super nice about recommending additional items. I don’t frequrnet this location often but I will be back the staff from front to back was great!“

“Very Friendly Nice customer service“

“haven't been to jack in the box for almost 7 years since I moved to Nebraska. And I'm on vacation was just there yesterday and there tacos and breakfast sandwich was amazing and those curly fries. Made my vacation even alot better :-)“

“It's on the way home from work so I end up a couple of times a week and I got nothing to complain about , everyone's been nice , food is correct every time , drive through moved pretty quick , and best of all they got Baja Blast .“

“The food was hot and really a good. The service was great. The staff was friendly. I would definitely come back to this Taco Bell. Everything was made to perfection. The only thing I would caution against is the drive-thru because of how narrow it is. It literally gave me a panic attack“

“Yolanda was a great help at the drive thru window. Every time I come… she tells me I need to use my points and gave me some great advice on how to use them. I finally took her advice last week and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the savings. Thank you Yolanda!“

“Always love me some Firehouse Subs 😃“

“I had the carnitas nachos and they had literally 4 strands of meat. The "cheese" was liquid, the sour cream was a dollop size and had a million of jalapeño slices and 10 gazillion nachos o and maybe 2 spoonfuls of beans. Soup spoonfuls. Worst fast food ever. Boise Id“

“Great food better prices“

“They are amazing and made my whole day! I’m a healthcare worker and lately walking into any establishment after working a long shift is rough because a lot of places look at you and treat you like you have the plague. Not here. They were pleasant, thanked me for my hard work, apologized for the wait, even though I felt they were very quick, and gave me a free meal because of my hard work (or a big possibility that I looked worn and torn and they felt sorry for me lol). People don’t know how much this simple act means to us right now that are on the front lines with this crazy illness and being in contact with it on a daily basis. Our stress level is high and we are drained in ways I never imagined. I could never thank this staff enough for what to them probably seemed like a simple act of kindness but to me was so much more! 🤗 ❤️“

“Excelente atención muy amable personal todo bien caliente la comida solo para llevar 😁😁😁“

“Wendy’s is the Goat. I work near the Wendy’s, located near Oceanside High. The customer service provided by Karen/Erika is outstanding!! Erika is kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. She is very helpful. Karen is also friendly and helpful. They both deserve raises. I hope Erika stays at the Oceanside Branch cause her talents are going to make her a household name!!“

“Just moved to the area and the kids wanted pizza 🍕 I ordered it online and was able to come get it !
Everything was packaged in this nice Christmas box 📦 so cute ! We got a good deal with two pizza 🍕 and cheese sticks and cinnamon sticks everything was delicious 🤤 kids loved it !
Patrizia was so kind !
Definitely come check them out !“

“Just about the Best dang carne asada burrito I've ever eaten. I went here 4x in a week last time i was in SD.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING chili Verde carnitas plate. I have never had anything THIS good. EVER.

I come here straight from the airport when i land in San Diego. This is the BEST location.

Awesome staff. Fast service. I spoke with a nephew of the owner here and he was very appreciative of my praise and very receptive to feedback. There's nothing negative about my experience here, at all. It's simply an amazing establishment.“

“It's a fine KFC. Food was fresh, service was quick, main area was clean, staff was friendly. French fries were amazing, highly recommended.KFC- spring for real plates!!! Handing out paper serving trays are not an attractive look for eating your food. If you want your product to be considered food, served like food. Presentation matters!“

“I had a great experience at Carl’s Jr.. The food was fresh, the burgers were flavorful, and the fries were hot and crispy. The staff was friendly, and my order was prepared quickly. Overall, it was a delicious meal, and I would definitely come back again.“

“JM is a great sub eatery! I always reccomend it to all friends and out of towners.“

“The food as always is great and why not a full 5 stars, is the commercial I saw that says you can swap your fries for free; To either onion rings or chicken fries, I decided to swap for the chicken fries. I was then told there would only be 4!!!! chicken fries and if I wanted more then I would have to pay more.“

“I haven’t had a bad experience at this Carls Jr and I go here for lunch regularly. You can tell they care about the presentation because the food looks like the picture. The cashiers are super friendly, espeically in the drive-thru. Great food and service at this location.“

“I go here once in a while to pick up a meal, it's quick and easy, I haven't had any bad experience, my only complaint would be the pricing and the options, it's a pretty small place but it's good chinese! probably overal one of the better options nearby“

“Lo recomiendo todo el lugar es mui limpio y mui amables“

“Food was somewhat poorly made, burger was falling apart. I keep coming here because they're few of McDonald with playground. They also doesn't have a changing table for the babies in neither regular/family restroom. So keep that in mind. Love that the doors in playground area turn on and an loud alarm goes on if they are opened.“

“I've been going to Jack in the box for a long long time.. it is much more expensive than it ever used to be but that's not necessarily their fault as inflation has hit everything for all of us...

Every once in awhile I'll treat myself to a dinner with my favorite ultimate bacon cheeseburger.. it's a childhood favorite of mine.

Staff are always extremely friendly and I definitely give them a thumbs up for that but the price of the food and how much they give you could definitely be increased...

Thanks again Jack in the box for childhood favorite items. I'll continue to come back every once in a while

Is it the best food? No.... Is it the cheapest? No... But Jack in the box definitely has a flavor and a favorite burger of mine that every once in awhile I love to get and it is good... I enjoy it...“

“Love Jersey Mike's it's the only subs we eat. Jersey's or nothing“

“On Sunday I tried Subway's turkey & ham protein pocket that I chose. WOW 😲! It was very delicious 😋, well-flavored, fresh, nutritious, ambrosial, irresistible 😁, and heavenly 😇. I loved it 🥰. Your restaurant is nice and peaceful. Your employer is kind and courteous.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Arely is that girl

We don’t usually write reviews, but this one is way overdue. Me (Anthony) and Joaquin come to this Jack in the Box on Oceanside Blvd & College religiously—late-night cravings, post-drive-thru therapy sessions, whatever—and honestly? Arely is the only reason we keep coming back.

She’s not just good at her job—she’s phenomenal. Always bubbly, friendly, fast, and just has this natural energy that makes the whole place feel less like fast food and more like somewhere you actually wanna be. We’ve dealt with the manager before and... yeah, we MUCH prefer Arely. No disrespect, but she just handles things better. Period.

She makes you feel seen, she gets the order right, and she manages to be super professional even when it’s late and she’s probably exhausted. Plus she’s cute as hell and has that glow that makes you smile back without even thinking.

Jack in the Box—if y’all know what’s good for you, you’ll do whatever it takes to keep her happy. Because for us, she’s the face of this location.

Give her her flowers. She deserves it.“

“One of the better KFC’s. Chicken is always moist and favorable, they don’t serve the old pieces that been sitting around under the lamps. Sometimes drive thru takes a minute but that’s cause they are making your food fresh. I don’t mind waiting for fresh. Great customer service service every time too.“

“Update: Great Follow-Up from Store Manager

I originally left a terrible review because I was really disappointed after several delivery orders from Papa John’s arrived missing my salads— every single time. ☹️ It felt like a frustrating pattern of careless mistakes, especially with no follow-up or resolution from customer service. For a national chain with premium prices, I expected better service and accountability. That said, I recently decided to call the store directly to see if anything could be done. I spoke with a manager named Eric, and I have to say — he completely turned the experience around. Eric was kind, understanding, and professional. He genuinely listened to my concerns without making me feel like I was just complaining. He even acknowledged that it’s their responsibility to make things right & offered me a free salad on my next order as a gesture of goodwill.

While the repeated mistakes were disappointing, I really appreciated Eric’s approach and willingness to make it right. Because of that positive interaction, I’m willing to give this location another chance as it has been a lifelong favorite pizza place of mine. thank you so much, Eric!“

“Its a great place as you pass either north or south on I-5, easy on off access, very close to to the off ramps. Manager seemed to be on top of the food quality watching and checking the prepared food, I was happy to see him check the food. Facility was clean.“

“Huge shout out to the young lady that is manager in the opening shift. I come just about every week day and the restaurant is always well kept and I can tell the employees are happy to be there. The food is always great and the portions are good as well. :)“

“There's not really any customers in the dining area whenever I go in. In their defense, I don't go during peak hours (lunchtime, dinner time). The service is usually quick. The
I do kinda wish they had outdoor seating with shade, I can't remember if they used to have outdoor seating in the past.“

“Dining room open late into the night! The few McD that opens late when you need it.
Sun thru Thurs till Midnight and Fri thru Sat till 1am! Restrooms available for customers. Free refills but have to ask at counter. Parking in shared Lowes plaza.“
