27 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Pacific Grove

“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.“

“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.“

“Best hamburgers. Very fresh tasting.“

“Came to this location on a chilly Tuesday evening just to order something small. food was fresh and delicious. The worker Ashley was super nice and kind. She would check on us and make us feel welcomed. Her smile is beautiful and i hope to see her again! Thanks again Ashley!“

“Just great 🍔 burgers! Service was excellent“

“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.“

“Papa Chano's is a beloved local spot known for its hearty Mexican comfort food, generous portions, and friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere. Guests appreciate the authentic flavors, from sizzling fajitas and flavorful tacos to satisfying burritos and classic enchiladas. The casual setting and quick, welcoming service make it a reliable favorite for both locals and visitors looking for a satisfying meal.

“Absolutely delicious and very satisfying experience! The food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The portions were generous, the prices were fair, and the service was quick and friendly. Everything tasted authentic and homemade, especially the tacos and enchiladas. Papa Chano’s is a great spot for anyone craving real, comforting Mexican food in Monterey!”“

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

“How did someone invent the pepperoni pretzel? Well it’s here with other pretzel creations both large and small. This venue,
shares a space with a cookie, coffee and ice cream shop. Yummy combo
Aceesible restrooms in central Cannery Row area and van accessible paid parking in garage“

“This place is consistently good. Everything is freshly made, the staff are friendly and work quickly to get the product out to customers. Prices are very reasonable and everything is fresh. Is it the best pizza around? No. But when you're in a hurry it's good enough. Hard to go wrong here.“

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!“

“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.“

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.“

“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 🐔 😋“

“We called ahead to order the chicken shawarma and subbed out some things to make it gluten free. They said that the falafel is gf, and while I'm not celiac I still think that something about this meal ended up disagreeing with me and the falafel seems the most likely since the other ingredients are pretty safe. Otherwise the meal was good, but the falafel was pretty hard on the outside.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“As always food is great as expected! A note to Mgnt n owner if you want one WC for employees only, pls provide a sign. After small children leaving a mess in the one for all WC I really didn’t want to use that WC Lol. However you did have a Women’s WC, saw a customer leave that one, but an employee ( Caucasian) tried insistently to persuade me to use the filthy one!? Always looking forward to enjoying a meal at Panda, without That kind of experience. Thank you“

“This Jack in the Box is an oasis in the food desert that is lower Munras avenue. Who has time for delicious meals cooked from scratch at way better eateries like The Wild Plum, Krua Thai or even The Great Wall? I know I don't. Just this week I grabbed two tacos for the wifey, a spicy Jack wrap for yours truly, hamburgers for the kids and a large curly fries for the whole family in less time than it took to write this review. I don't get high anymore but if I did I'd hit that l8 night stoner menu fo sho.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing crews,got my food quick. Definitely going back“
