50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Riverside

“amazing food, amazing service, amazing experience!! found this place looking for vegan options & decided to go based on the google reviews. even with the pre-notion that they had 4.9 stars, my expectations were far surpassed! i didn’t catch the name of the guy who took our order but he was lovely & had great energy. for being a completely vegan spot, my socks were knocked right off. best chicken burger i’ve ever had. even my dad who eats real meat was throughly impressed. would definitely go again. 10/10“

“Can I sign up on the app?“

“Although it is a fast food restaurant the lady that took our order at the cash register brought out all the food and kept checking on our party of 12 like it was a 5 star restaurant. They were awesome and would definitely go back just because of that.“

“Honestly how could I give this or any other in n out less than five stars. I’ve only heard of one in n out in Utah that didn’t have very good food. Of course the food here is served hot and fresh. The service is fast and the employees are friendly. If there’s a long line here don’t turn away because it will most likely go 2 or 3 times faster than what you think. It’s right across the street from Home Depot, McDonald’s, and a gas station, and right off the 91 freeway on Madison Street. There is a secret menu to know about at this restaurant. You can ask for a Neapolitan shake to get strawberry chocolate and vanilla mixed in. You can ask for animal style fries or a burger to get your onions grilled. You can get a protein style burger to get your hamburger bun replaced by lettuce. Animal style fries comes with cheddar cheese and grilled onions and thousand Island dressing. They are amazing! There’s way more to the list. Maybe look up that secret menu on Google.

The drive-thru was packed and it took about 20 to 25 minutes to get my food. I'm surprised mainly because it usually doesn't take that long at In-N-Out. Could have been a difficult order they had to deal with. But I've never had to wait so long. And the french fries had a hollow weird kind of texture. The burger was great though. My son usually likes the french fries and he didn't eat them this time and actually said they were different. I thought he was imagining that. Then I tried the fries myself and noticed the same thing.
I'll come back and try again. Maybe it was just an off night. Thank you In-N-Out for doing your best to stay consistent.“

“Came in fir the once a year Venison sandwich, amazing, now just have to wait another year to get spoiled again!“

“My prior review of this location was absolutely scathing, so much so you'd probably have thought Chick-fil-A paid me to write it. Fortunately, the night manager who's lack of professionalism earned his store a 1-star review, must have finally been given the opportunity to be unsuccessful someplace else because this store is near perfect now. The food is always on point, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is fantastic💯.

Glad to have you back Raising Cane's (La Sierra & Magnolia). KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!“

“The food was extraordinary. I loved it, especially the chili cheese dog. It was lovely, and then the chili cheese fries was magnificent. I would so recommend it for anyone. If you are in the Van Buren area in Riverside, Calif Enjoy the experience of a lifetime at this Wiener Schnitzel“

“I go to this location all the time, especially to take advantage of the AC and the play area so my daughter can play. Today, however, my only intent was to take her for a few hours to play and leave. With being a single mom, I struggle at times financially and today was one of them. I went into the bathroom to change my baby’s diaper and she asked for some food cause that’s what we do. We play and then eat. I let her know that this time we weren’t going to get food at the restaurant cause there was food at home and we were only there to play. I said this without realizing someone else was there, especially a worker. To Elisa, you made my day. You are an angel on Earth and because of you my baby was able to enjoy her usual Chik Fil A experience. She was able to play and have her usual mac and cheese. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and thank you for giving her that gift. Even if it was as simple as her mac and cheese. Thank you. Nothing never goes unseen. You know who you are, may God bless you today and always.“

“The workers show good customer service and the cooks make the best food!“

“Great Food, employees are super nice“

“Bomb 💣!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Cobb salad is my favorite“

“Idk but there’s a really kind & helpful female employee who works here. (Approx 3pm 8/05/26) She’s very welcoming and brought out my food (and the person’s ahead of me), instead of just calling out our orders. Carl’s Jr has become a little too expensive, like most fast food places in CA now…but after Wendy’s, their hamburgers are my 2nd fav (for fast food burger chains)“

“Everyone is awesome and the food is on pointt“

“ALL YALL LISTEN UP
This is THE best chinese food I have ever tried in my whole life. This is real, authentic chinese cuisine. I been coming here for more than 10 years. I needed to write a review.

When Im in the mood for some chow mein and teriyaki chicken, I don't think of no boot leg panda or pf chang. NAH I think of THIS place right here!!! SO bomb, I wish them ongoing success in their business forever. They'll have my business for sure. Portions and prices are extremely reasonable too.“

“My family and I love George’s, We tell all our friends and family about what a great place to eat it’s been for the last 25 years. I have never had a complaint until the last 3 months with my favorite chili cheese fries. Whoever is make the chili now is over doing it with the pepper 🌶️ It’s too hot and no enough chili for the mountain of fries Please go back to the original recipe and portion size. I would rather pay more and be able to enjoy flavor and enough chili to cover my fries. Thank you.“

“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“

“Staff is courteous, helpful and kind when I go in with my severely autistic grandson, who is prone to having meltdowns, and the women's bathroom is always clean (as is the rest of the restaurant).“

“We took my son to get his favorite meal (Mac and cheese) after a difficult doctors appointment, and when the manager noticed him through the car window, she came and gifted him and new little cow plush! he was so happy and she really made his day. thank you ❤️“

“pasele pasele si hay los mejores estilo rosarito .......Y KE SE TEKITO ............“

“I did the drive through, I saw that it split in two drove up to right side of the split and no drive through intercom so I could not order so I reversed it to the other side of the split luckily there was only two cars in line. By the time I ordered three more vehicles did the same thing. But I still enjoy wienershnitzel.“

“I don't often give five star reviews. However, my experience was exceptional. My pizza was outstanding (the crust thickness and fluffiness changes the pizza dynamic), the price was very low ($15 and I'll get three meals from it), and I found the dine-in experience relaxing.“

“Great food and and nice seating“

“No lines at midnight, fast good food“

“I had a great experience at Blaze Pizza! Michael was super friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my visit. His customer service was excellent, and he made sure my order was prepared just the way I wanted. It’s always nice to be served by someone who has a positive attitude and genuinely cares about customers. Definitely made my visit better, and I’ll be coming back!“

“was my first job.. i Loved working here 2002-2006.. good times..“

“in door dinning now let's go“

“Lee's Sandwhiches in riverside not only has the best coffee in town but the best employees. Everyone is greeted nicely and their orders are served quickly. If you have a chance swing by to pick up a coffee but if your hungry I suggest the "combination."“

“staff was very friendly and efficient with customer service! Food on time and Of course Delicious! 😁🤗“

“Muy buena comida y atención“

“Taco bell tostada salads are back their mini now but Thank God they're back , you have to get 3 to 4 to enjoy a good meal, came to spend time with my sis here in Riverside, a such a nice matured beatiful lady help us , I just ❤ when they have older people working ,love it really , it's better to have them working then fir them to be bored at home or frustrated taking care of grandkids.“

“Overall it is a good restaurant, they did get my order wrong, however I will not reduce my rating for that. The cashier was nice and the prices are reasonable.

The food on the other hand was very good. I would recommend. The only reason why it isn’t a 5/5 is because they got my order slightly wrong as they put lettuce when I asked for no lettuce.“

“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“

“awesome! fresh chicken. love the Mac and cheese“

“Really clean inside and very efficient staff.“

“The place had seating with views of the street. Food was fast and well cooked. Soda tasted like Coka-Cola and fries where frying. At the time I was there it might of been lunch hour for most of the Government building and staff so it was a bit crowded we found seating right of way.“

“Perfection, without a doubt recommend. This is the quality food you deserve to it, not that burnt msg noodles and dried up orange chicken from panda express. Panda will have limits to scoops but here, oh you will eat good because those big scoops are actually worth the price.“

“The lucky Greek is my family's go to for good fast food that doesn't taste like fast food! goof quality and great taste. love the cheese burger and fries. staff is always friendly. A must for me whenever I'm in town!“

“I ordered the chicken quesadilla and it was wonderful! The service was above best! I wanted a particular drink and the server tried to get the machine fixed and came back to offer another drink. Totally understood the problem, therefore it wasn't a problem since she handled this situation.“

“I have stopped by off and on over the years. The food and service was always a hit or miss. I guess the restaurant is under new management. I met the new owners, a nice young couple, they both seem very passionate about their restaurant. That definitely shows. When I stopped by today, the greeting and service exceeded my expectations. Not only was I greeted with a smile but they were really helpful and patient with my little one, who couldnt seem to make up his mind. Than my food came out , and believe me when I say the steak bulgogi was so delicious, tender , and juicy. The real surprise was the chicken for me, I am not a big chicken fan but this location is definitely changing that for me. The Korean spicy chicken was so flavorful, and juicy. So much so I order a chicken bowl to go. Needless to say I will definitely be back, maybe even make it a weekly night visit for me and my little guy . He got the chicken and veggie bowl. We are definitely a fan of the chicken. Lol“

“I passed by for dinner time and was happy to not see it long line at the drive-thru, from the time I got to the speaker box to order until I got my food at the pickup window I did less than 4 minutes. Was happy to find my jalapenos and onions were Crisp and fresh.“

“buenísimas me atasque 3 y ni deje nada“

“This restaurant was very good! Clean bathrooms walls floors, etc. Food is reccomend is the box combo with no coleslaw because the last time I ate coleslaw I had to call the police but that’s a different story 😅 the outside dining was good but there was a man who kept yelling at kids he was very tall and rude! 😡 but out of all is 10/10“
