13 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Poway

“Hands down, the best burgers. My go to is the Double- Double animal style (mustard grilled into the meat, grilled onion, extra sauce, extra pickles). You can get it on any of their burgers. To the Snyders (the owners of In-N-Out), PLEASE put stores in Florida!! We deserve this goodness too. 🥰“

“Have been here in Poway 3 times . It’s been fast and reasonably priced. Burgers taste good and sides do as well. Happy and will be coming back again.“

“The safest COVID-free take-out“

“I’ve been to this restaurant a few times, and it never disappoints. The pizza is thin, crispy, and loaded with flavor. I especially love the one with prosciutto and arugula. Staff always treats you like a regular, even if it’s your first time. Love that.“

“they are very courteous and the food is great. There is also a small play area for kids“

“The staff here are particularly friendly and attentive.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair accessible entrance in the rear of the dining room, accessed through the drive-thru. Though unlocked and usable initially, this door has been locked for the past 5+ years.“

“Good food, great environment…“

“Great sandwiches and a fantastic crew - friendly, welcoming and full of energy!“

“I stopped by for a Western bacon burger. It was as good as usual. I have been going here for years, and they are always consistent quality. But it's time to upgrade the restroom.

Parking: They are now open on Sunday, according to the new banner.“

“Jay was so nice and warm when I ordered my food today and he answered my questions clearly with a smile. Today is Sept 13, 2024 I went there around 6pm. The other staff with him needs to smile more like him. It brings joy to us customers but all in all they tried their best to be nice.
Just more smiles is my comment but they were all doing their best.
Kudos to Jay!!!“

“So, if you’re ever in Poway and craving some fast food with a Mexican twist, you’ve got to hit up Taco Bell on Poway Road. I've been there more times than I can count, and it's always a solid choice. They’ve got all the classics—tacos, burritos, and my personal favorite, the Crunchwrap Supreme.

One thing I really appreciate about this Taco Bell is how clean it is. The dining area is spotless, which isn't something you can say about every fast food joint. Even though it gets pretty crowded, especially around meal times, the service is super fast. The staff is really friendly and efficient, so you never have to wait long for your food.

The drive-thru is also a lifesaver if you’re in a hurry. The food is always hot and tasty, and the prices are great if you’re on a budget. All in all, Taco Bell in Poway is definitely worth a visit. It's my go-to spot when I'm in the mood for some quick, delicious food.“

“This is my favor McDonald's because their is plenty of parking space, good service and they always keep the place so clean and tidy. The workers are very nice too, they treat the place like their own store and always willing to help.“

“I love the workers and food here. Most of the time that I come here, I pick up or order the family meals. Once in a while, I order 1-person meals. The workers are always professional, even during peak hours. I always get the food warm and tasty.

I've always received my food at reasonable times. I would never mind waiting 25 minutes for a family meal or 15 minutes for a 1-person meal. I always expect that they're busy and that they can run into any unexpected problems. However, I've only had one serious issue in the past with an order that they were able to make, but didn't and prioritized in-person customers.

This was some time in 2021 or 2022. At around 1:50pm, I placed a 1-person order online before work (1 side, 2 entrees). I went to pick up the order around 2:05pm (15 minutes later). The order wasn't ready. I told the cashier about my pick-up order. The cashier mentioned that they were working on it. While waiting, I saw the workers taking new orders from several in-person customers. Some of those customers got their food immediately and the others got it about 5 to 12 minutes after they ordered. I ended up getting my food around 2:20pm, even though I had ordered my 1-person meal around 30 minutes before they did. This is the only serious issue I've had with this Panda Express. One of the workers apologized about the long wait time for a small order. Other than that, they've always been great with customer service, quality of food, and serving time.“
