50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in San Jose

“Foods good but the prices are very high for a hamburger place.“

“the lettuce wrap was amazing. super delicious.“

“Really good local joint for excellent Hawaiian BBQ. So many good menu selections with bbq nix. Different plates, chicken katsu, kalua pork, etc. Staff is really friendly and helpful and they are always have good traffic and plenty of seating.“

“Half-pound (and up) fresh ground chuck burgers perfectly cooked. Plenty of menu options like turkey, bison, ostrich & more. The fries are excellent, and you load up your burger with all the fixins. Simply the best burger in the South Bay - even better that what Kirks USED to be.“

“Good chili dogs. When I ordered the order taker was conversational.“

“I was in San Jose for a conference and was craving Thai food, specifically something like red curry. I found Thai Elephant Express in East San Jose, and it ended up being one of the better meals I had while I was out there.

It’s set up kind of like a Panda Express, but for Thai food, and much better quality. Everything is ready to go, service is quick, and they get you in and out fast.

They didn’t have red curry, but they recommended the massaman curry instead. It wasn’t as spicy as what I originally had in mind, but it still hit the spot. It was rich, flavorful, and exactly the kind of warm, filling meal I was looking for. I also got the garlic chicken, which was solid and a good amount of protein.

Portions were generous. I got the two-entree plate for about $16 plus tax, and they packed it full. I couldn’t even finish it, which says a lot.

Food tasted fresh and actually satisfying. Unlike Panda Express, which usually leaves me still hungry or feeling off, this felt like real, quality food.

It was so good and consistent that I came back again the next day.

Service was fast both times, and people were friendly.

Overall, great experience. I’d definitely recommend it and would go back anytime I’m in the area.“

“First time eating here and it was a great experience! Staff was fun and seem to be enjoying themselves! GOOD FOOD!~“

“What can you say about In N Out burger. Best burgers 🍔 around.“

“My favorite place to eat 👍🏽“

“yummy chilly french 🍟 s friendly staff“

“Great value. You get a lot of food for the price. However, I am unhappy with the lack of refills of the fairly expensive soda. I guess that’s how they make their profit, but this isn’t somewhere I would frequent due to the lack of refills.

The food was pretty good. More flavorful than what I was expecting. I got the five flavors chicken and the house chicken (I think that’s what I was called but I don’t remember). Either way, I included a photo. I also opted for half chow mein, half fried rice.

Overall, the food was extremely filling and a little heavy, but it’s Chinese take-out, so of course it’s unhealthy and extremely calorie-dense. You weren’t going here for a light snack.

Not really a lot of seating. It looks to be in what appears to be a repurposed Taco Bell. There were flies flying around the interior, whatever. It’s to be expected in a place like this. I also found it quite cold inside, but maybe that’s just me.“

“Vegetarian options: Grilled cheeses are an available option

Parking: It's a busy plaza, so sometimes is hard to find parking directly in front of the store.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of seating and high chairs available. They have a kids menu

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of aisle space and tables reserved for those with a disability“

“Amazing food every time! I love love love it!!!!!!!!“

“I stopped by this Taco Bell in San Jose late at night after a long day of travel and needed something quick before heading to my hotel. I ordered the steak quesadilla and it hit the spot. It was hot, fresh, and had a good amount of steak and cheese. The staff was friendly even though it was close to closing time, and the order came out fast. The whole experience was smooth and exactly what I needed in the moment. Definitely one of the better Taco Bell visits I’ve had.“

“Koubby (think kibbee), balls, football-shaped, cracked wheat outer shell with perfectly seasoned ground lamb, onion and pine nut filling is my all-time favorite. Tabbouleh Salad, Gyros, Falafels, Onion Rings, amazing shakes and refreshing lemonade also worthy!“

“Was concerned it would be crazy but they were handling the drive thru well. No back up! Pick up was perfect. They haven’t started curbside pickup yet when ordering through the app. They have order windows and plenty of shaded seating outside. Everyone was very friendly.“

“servicio rápido y muy amables“

“Considering how expensive everything has become, this place is like an oasis, offer tasty food in the heart of San Jose. Visiting on a warm night, the float hit the spot, and I genuinely like the fishdog!
The workers were friendly and fast, which again, seems rare for the Bay Area these days.
Visit before a developer tries to turn the place into another ugly over priced condo.“

“great food, $10.00 more than G Habit burgers.“

“Loved the food!! First time“

“My first time going here and I can confirm it didn’t disappoint . The food is fresh and delicious. Definitely worth a try. My favorite combo is sweet potato noodles with teriyaki chicken. Overall amazing customer service and great atmosphere.“

“Delicious!!! First time here so I wasn’t sure what to order. Ended up ordering the tuna lovers bowl. Next time I will customize it a bit more and it will be even better!“

“They have a gluten free Burger 🍔 offering with lettuce wrap instead of the bun. Their burgers patties are on par with In&Out (also offers gluten free lettuce 🥬 wrap). But so many more choices that can be lettuce wrap and their cross cutt fries are better than anyone else. Their service is fast and friendly.“

“I walked in at 9:50 p.m. and they close at 10:00 and I've worked enough service jobs so I felt bad for the employees and apologized that I was showing up so late but they were extremely kind and friendly and said they were more than happy to make my food.

Monceis was the manager from what I could tell and he is extremely personable and friendly. There was a guy named Chris on the grill and the entire crew was working hard but they were friendly.

The food was great as expected but the service was even better! I got the double bacon cheeseburger with extra mushrooms and fried onions and it was fabulous.

Parking: It can get packed during business hours but there's still plenty of parking!

Kid-friendliness: Every kid loves burgers and fries and milkshakes! ?

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“

“workers were the nicest people i’ve ever met, and the food was probably the best i’ve had from America. only thing id fix is their location; i wish i lived closer to this restaurant

my qualifications: i’m chinese and eat out a LOT“

“Honestly if price isn't an issue, Five Guys are near the top of fast casual chain burger shops.

They had a buy one get one free deal recently and at that price, it's a 5 out of 5 stars.

Fries are great too for pricing and overall definitely worth a try even at full pricing.“

“All is great, burgers are always 10/10 but my only complaint is that whoever works on putting the fries in the bag in the village oaks location... please give more, our cup of fries wasnt fully filled to the top. At most FG’ we’ve been to, we get a cup overflowing of fries 🤗“

“First of all, I like how friendly the cashier was. There's only one person at the front and I don't know how many inside making the food. But I love all their drinks, especially the fruit drinks. It was prepared. Really nice. The quality of their service is exceptional.

My favorite drink is the classic Hong Kong milk tea with the small pearls and salted cheese on top. Of course 50% sweetness, lowest ice and large size.“

“Flame broiled taste any time“

“Very clean, Very quick, because of no drive thru. Even bathroom is really clean and doesn't smell bad. 2 kiosks to order if busy and no one is there to take order right away but only if in super hurry because they will be there to take your order as soon as they see you finish whatever task they are doing ASAP! Usually, they are online always ready (90%) before I get there, and I am 3 minute drive away.“

“muy buenas las recomiendo para mí que hago tortas ahogadas“

“customer service food 😋 👌 🙌“

“lettuce wrap onion ring. ice coffee on hazel flavor with onion ring.. love it .“

“2024.12.22

They have a machine at the drive thru to take your order. Cashier is still human. Glad no one has lost jobs to robots… yet…
Regular chili cheese fries $3.99
Corn dog $2.29
Strawberry lemonade small $2.99“

“Convenient, quick, late evening availability. After a long flight into San Jose, we arrived late and were hungry. We stopped at this Taco Bell on our way home. Service was quick and easy through the drive-thru. Easy, pleasant transaction, although the prices are higher than I remember: 5 items = $24.“

“From the looks of it, this is a very popular must be southern style cooking.It seems to be always packed and I get plenty orders from Uber Eats highly recommended from what I could tell in the amounts of voters.I've been getting from this establishment.Fantastic thank you“

“So, we order firehouse from Uber Eats all the time... But for once we got off our busy schedule and went in ourselves. Big shout out to the awesome firefighters that do an amazing job here in the Berryessa area!!
Oh yeah, the sandwiches are to die for! Some of the biggest and best around, hands down!!“

“The place have great decor but it seems like they spent most of their money on decor and marketing. The packaging was very modern and pretty, however, I cannot say the same to the items inside those packaging.
Subpar burgers are too expensive to the point it feels like a novelty. The burger was a little bit too greasy and the bacons' texture tasted more like jerky. Consistently feels off. For example, in the google review and menu pictures the burger seems very appetizing. However, I am not sure if its my luck or something but my burger (A51 for $12) is not giving asteroid but its more of a hat with a brim (check my overhead picture attached to this review).
Their slushies are fantastic though. Fs will return just for the slushies ($4.50)

(Edit)
I moved it up from 3 to 4 after a grubhub order. I got 12 wings and a sushi for around 20 bucks with 4 dollars off deal and the food was pretty good although a bit generic. You can prob find other similar options out there however for the price, its not too bad. I'll prob order again for the slushies and wings but prob not the burger :/“

“service! great fresh burgers and fries“

“If you are looking for a good Mexican restaurant, well this the one the staff is very friendly. They don't make you wait a long time to take your order or make it. The lady Doña Elena is very nice and she always makes sure that her staff is on top of everything. Very clean place bathrooms are always clean. Let me not mention the food, the food is excellent the rice n beans are 😋.“

“First time eating here and it was a great experience! Staff was fun and seem to be enjoying themselves! GOOD FOOD!~“

“My husband and I go here all the time and get their party pack of chicken nuggets... 50 nuggets for 16.99!!! Absolutely can not beat that. KFC charges 35.99 for 50. And they are alwAys hot and juicy and they don't nickel and dime u on extra sauces like other fast food places Where they give you like 2 sauces and charge you extra for more. Definitely recommended!!!“

“I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!“

“Service is exceptional at this one guys. I've gone through the drive through 3 nights in a row now for dinner cuz I'm working nearby and I kid you not, I literally gave these girls a tip and I've never done that before I fast food place“

“I only went through the drive through so keep that in mind.

Drive up and they take your order right away. The menu is bright and clear. The speaker is clear and loud.

The building is old but it stands alone which is cool. More and more rare nowadays. The parking lot is huge. I saw a kids okay area which is also rare, though I can’t vouch it’s open for use.

Took about 10 minutes to get food with no one in line in front of me. Which tells me they probably don’t have many workers and also they don’t have stuff ready and waiting which I guess that’s good in a way. Fresher food.

I for the California Classic Double Cheeseburger and it was pretty good! And according to the menu only 420 calories. Also had a grilled chicken sandwich. Also pretty good. I’m gonna say this is a pretty good restaurant.

The price is good and it’s open 24 hrs. I’m calling this place a winner. Sorry didn’t take any pics.“

“The fact that this location is open 24 hours is a massive plus when you need food in the middle of the night. The burgers are always thick and filling, which is exactly what you want. However, late-night service can be a bit careless—they completely forgot to hand over the sauces I asked for, and the dining room was pretty messy. It's an okay option if you have no other choice late at night.“

“Rootbeer freeze in a frozen mug!!! 1hr free wifi in a quiet clean setting! Friendly staff! I was able to make a quick pit stop to get a contract sent out. I arrived stresses, left cheerful. A gem of a place. You cant loiter all day with the 1hr wifi limit, but this means you will actually find a table sonce people dont loiter all day. Beats Starbucks any day. And its a KFC A&W!!! Fun food options :)“

“I don't like the new site design with placing the order upfront and then waiting to pickup the sandwiches. it feels like a burger place then the old Togos. the new design is slower and I've had more problems, like getting the wrong sandwich in my bag since multiple people are working on a single order. if this continues to be an issue I'll find a different location to visit.“

“Just Love your un sweet Tea“

“I always get hot food & fast service, people forever friendly“
