21 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Pacific Grove

“I love Jersey mikes but this was my first time at this location. The service was slow, but they were trying and were pleasant. They over charged me and I didn't notice until I was home 20 minutes away. The charged me for a regular sub when I got a mini, so I am a little salty about that.“

“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.“

“Best hamburgers. Very fresh tasting.“

“Just great 🍔 burgers! Service was excellent“

“When I crave fast food I like this particular Carl's Jr. location in Seaside. The restaurant is kept impeccably clean and the customer service is very friendly. Everytime I have visited I have had a good experience. The burgers and fries, etc have been good. Delivery however is something I cannot recommend . The burgers were horrible and my order was wrong. Fries were old and stale. Overall this restaurant is alright for dining in delivery is a hell no.“

“Stopped by for lunch here with my lady and the food was very delicious. The staff are all very friendly and kind. They have a chip and salsa bar which is a plus because you get to choose how much you want to eat and the chips are freshly cooked. If you're in the area, this place is a definite must to stop in and grab a bite to eat. We'll definitely be back here in the future. Thank you Papa Chano's.“

“This is a solid place to get a burrito for the road. The staff is friendly. The Super Burrito is always good. But the quesadilla is soggy and the cheese on the Carne Asada fries is weird. I do love that it has a drive thru, though; so it's my go-to in Seaside.“

“Attention Mod pizza lovers, this is the same concept where they build a pizza in front of you, but the crust is even better because it is structured and yummy. Immediately upon stepping in, we were greeted with multiple hellos and welcome in’s- that always makes an experience better from the start! After they had put my pizza in the oven, I realized I hadn’t added the crushed garlic and I briefly mentioned it to my boyfriend next to me. The employee heard me and immediately offered to add it and insisted on it which was so kind. As for the pizza, it was delicious- I had a vegetarian pizza, the roasted broccoli topping is the best. The bathrooms were impeccable which made for an overall great experience (p.s. to the girls: there is no mirror!). One of the best parts was the design of the place, as well as the atmosphere. The tall ceiling and windows made the space roomy and “fresh”. The chill indie beachy guitar music made us feel like we were relaxing by the beach as we watched the sun set through the large windows. As for the seating, there are many option. My favorite were the booth tables because there was a comfy back rest (pictured) and were clean. Shout out to the 7pm crew for being friendly, hardworking, and overall great workers!“

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!“

“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.“

“Picked up a Taco Bell Taco Party Pack for a chill night with the fam, and it hit the spot! Everyone got their favorites—crunchy and soft tacos, loaded with seasoned beef, cheese, and lettuce. It was hot, fresh, and ready fast. Perfect for a quick, affordable family meal where no one had to cook or clean. We added some sauces, laughs, and good convo—exactly what we needed. Will definitely grab another pack next time!“

“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.“

“This Panda Express is pretty much what you’d expect. The food is reliable, the flavors are consistent, and most of the time it’s fresh. Every now and then some of the less popular items can sit too long and end up a little cold, but when it’s fresh the flavor is great.

Wait times are usually around 5 to 10 minutes, which isn’t too bad. I usually get the Bigger Plate with Orange Spicy Chicken, Walnut Shrimp, and Beijing Beef, and it always hits the spot.

Overall it’s a solid and dependable place when you’re craving Chinese food on the go.“
