50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Torrance

“Very great customer service. Fela was amazing super sweet and showed me how to use my points. Very clean. My food was served fast, but taste pretty great comparing to other Carl’s Jr I’ve been before. Food was warm!!!! I will come back to this location instead.“

“First off all, I went to the Hawthorne blvd location during the heatwave and it was nice and air conditioned! So that was good. But everything was super clean and the guy at the counter was really friendly and nice as was the guy bussing tables. And the food was yummy! I dunno what they put in that rub but it’s delicious and Dave’s dipping sauce is amazing! Plus I like it cuz I’m a vegetarian and they have cauliflower.
5 stars from me!!!“

“I went through the Drive Thru and the person in front of me paid for my order. I went ahead and paid for the person behind me. I’m wondering how many paid it forward today.“

“By far the best Chick-Fil-A in the area! I just love the welcoming atmosphere, the staff seems so happy and the food just tastes better! During the shut-down, this became our go to for breakfast and lunch for me while I was at work.“

“I don't eat red meat anymore but when I did I ate at In & Out Burgers and their food and french fries are really really good. Highly recommend! 😊😊“

“Been for years ..! Love it“

“the burgers and the fresh house made onion rings and fresh ice tea.“

“me encanta la comida y un buen servisio limpio“

“Good place to stop 🛑 if you’re in a hurry and want a meal. Love the Ruben dog they have delicious!“

“I originally learned about Red Rock when I was in Japan. A local girl told me about this roast beef place that serves this tower of thinly sliced roast beef with a horseradish yogurt sauce.

I don't even like horseradish, so that didn't exactly sell me lol, but somehow the sauce doesn't really taste the way I expected and the whole thing works.

So when I found out there was a Red Rock in Torrance, obviously I had to see how it compared.

I came right when they opened, so it wasn't busy. They make everything fresh to order and even have a sign telling you to be patient. I ordered the smaller roast beef bowl and added the egg. Still good, and the egg definitely makes it better.

But the surprise was the hamburger steak.

It was only around $13, and normally this isn't something I'd get excited about. I'm usually not a huge fan of giant meatball/meatloaf-type things because I feel like the inside never has enough flavor. Then this came out covered in this super dark gravy and I wasn't expecting much.

It was bomb.

I actually think I liked the hamburger steak more than the roast beef, which I absolutely wasn't expecting. The roast beef is still good, but I'm really glad I tried something different instead of only ordering what I already knew.

There were several other things I wanted to try, including the omurice, so I'll definitely be back. There's also a dessert place next door that I need to investigate next time because apparently one stop wasn't enough lol.“

“I ordered the fish and chips plate and they were perfect. 4 generous portions of fish and the fries were fantastic. Each one was super chrispy.“

“Great chilli dogs and fries. Surprisingly good ice cream. Very reasonably priced for fast food and drive in lane is normally fast They also offer senior discounts And don't forgot the classic polish sandwich“

“Muy rico recomendado para toda la familia“

“Very good Quality fresh products“

“Great Burgers and an Awesome Crew Member

My go-to, fast food burgers have been at Carl’s for years because they taste great. Although they are also consistently prepared well at other Carl’s stores I’ve been to, what makes this one special at 24010 Hawthorne Boulevard is an employee named Maria.

She is there on Saturdays when I often take my mom for our burger fix. Besides moving quickly and being efficient, she’s always very friendly. Plus, she remembers our preferences from previous visits. For example, when I order a single drink, she always hands me two straws, knowing my mom and I will share it.

I was especially impressed with her one day when their computer system for the registers went down. When I pulled into the drive-thru to order, she said through the speaker that they could not give any receipts and asked if that was okay. I said sure, and she took my order. When I pulled up to the window to pay and get my food, she had already used a calculator to total my order manually. This gal kept the store open and kept taking orders even as the company computer system was down! Wow! This kind of dedication is rare, and she should be commended by someone at the Carl’s corporate level for all she does. From me as a customer… Thank you, Maria!“

“To Corinne- your kindness and interactions were significant. You didn’t know that we had been in and out of the hospital for the last week taking care of a sick family member. And yet you went above and beyond to simply treat myself eating alone with my one and 1/2 year-old son. Thank you.

This is truly your family’s neighborhood Chick-fil-A. Let me give you a few examples - Besides being quick, clean, and very nice:

1. 25 minutes after I ordered I walked back to the counter and she asked me if I wanted more sweet tea. Attention to detail and memory was amazing.
2. She noticed my kid wasn’t playing with the toy and asked me if I wanted an ice cream! Came directly to my table without being asked. Guest awareness.
3. As a random gesture of kindness, she bought me a be-our-guest card to come back for another kids meal because she recognized how much my year and a half year-old was enjoying it.

Corinne was top notch. Staff looks happy. This is why you come back to specific locations“

“Love the Beef & Cheddar sandwich and the curly fries at Arby's! I have a question, though - do you (the Torrance store) honor the scannable coupons sent by Arby's corporate? We've had experiences at the Long Beach Arby's where they said they don't honor those (but they "made an exception" for us. Awkward :/“

“I've been to plenty of fast-food restaurants, but this Wendy's consistently stands out because of how well it's run. Whether I'm stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or just grabbing a quick snack, the experience is always reliable and enjoyable.

The biggest difference is the staff. Everyone seems genuinely friendly, hardworking, and focused on providing great service. Even during busy times, the team works efficiently to keep things moving, and orders are prepared surprisingly fast. On the rare occasions there's a long drive-thru line, it never seems to take very long because the employees are incredibly organized.

The food is another reason I keep coming back. Everything tastes fresh, hot, and made correctly. It's clear that the staff takes pride in maintaining quality, which isn't always the case at every fast-food location. Consistency is important, and this restaurant delivers it every time.

The location itself is clean, modern, and well maintained. The dining area is comfortable and inviting, and the drive-thru is spacious enough to accommodate larger vehicles without any issues. It's easy to see why so many locals choose this location regularly. Great service, fresh food, and an overall welcoming atmosphere make this one of the best Wendy's restaurants I've visited.“

“It's silly someone would leave anything under a 5 star review for this Taco Bell. The staff is excited to serve, atmosphere is fresh, and food is handled with care. Sure, Taco Bell's all serve the same food for the most part, but this location separates itself from the rest with customer experience. Daniel & the team call us by our names when we enter. This team differentiates itself with quality service. Will always be returning.“

“This is the best POPEYES around. Forget going to Carson or the one on Hawthorne ! The cashiers always help you get the best deals. 2 of them are my favorites and they deserve a raise. Most of the times customers come back for food, but sometimes customer choose to come back because they like the feeling of being welcomed and treated with respect. Nowadays everyone in fast foods have this grouchy face no smiles. I don't mind spending $20 for a meal for myself when I know my food was made and packaged with love 🤗“

“This flame broiler was a good experience today. Food was fresh, tasty, and competently prepared. The chicken had a little gristle, but not too bad. Everything else (beef, onions, rice) was great. Service was reasonably friendly. Restaurant was clean.

Let’s talk about sauce. Sauces were behind the counter, but the cups were filled up AND given out generously. This makes such a big difference. Thank you.“

“Food is awesome. Love the chicken fingers“

“Stopped here on the way to the Chargers game for some pregame food. The drive thru line moved very quickly and all the workers were very polite and friendly. We ordered Spicy chicken sandwiches and chicken strips. Both were perfectly prepared and really delicious. This location is definitely a five star experience with both the delicious food and great service.“

“erica ventura, jollibee manager in nevada 😂 3 mixed jollihotdog grabe. No Sympathy. merong videos“

“This is the best cheeseburger I have ever tasted it in my entire life. I think they should run experiments on how the burgers are made because they taste too good to be from this planet. The service is amazing but I would like to give a special thank you to the employee, Vincent R. the coolest, most nice guy ever extremely helpful, caring and kind This dude deserves a raise. The atmosphere in which are in feels clean to the spec. Truly thank you five guys for making the best food I’ve ever tasted in my life“

“Summer of 1976 was Steve's Burrito the only thing I ate for three months and have craved a Burrito every day since, not joking I live in MA. But have raved about them in every conversation about taco or burritos ever since then. Love you guys have an awesome day“

“I’ve been going to shake shack for a quite awhile stopped for some shopping so i quickly went to grab a burger. Delicious burger came out quick and fast service all around. A guy there I believe Jose C wonderful and helpful person gave me some recommendations for the next time need more people like him.“

“We love Eat Fantastic!! They have the best deal in town- the lunch box. It’s $14 for a burger, two big chicken tenders, and fries. My husband and I split one lunch box between the two of us and it’s plenty. It’s genuinely some of the best & juiciest chicken I’ve had in the South Bay! Our other favorites are the chorizo breakfast burrito, the French toast plate with side of chorizo and egg, and the hash brown breakfast plates. The ingredients are good quality, it doesn’t taste cheap at all. The good quality + great prices make us come back here over and over again.
Also the servers are amazing, note to the owner: give them all fat bonuses!!! I cannot recommend this place enough, just go. (Also nobody asked me to write this review, I just really love this place and want more people to go lol)“

“Manager Melissa was extremely helpful. I had to call to change my catering order that I messed up on. She was polite and took her time to explain to me that what I can do is place an order online and she will add it to my doordash order. Melissa went above and beyond and made sure I got my order correct, and had the necessary condiments.“

“By far our favorite Chinese fast food to Go in the South Bay!! Delicious fresh Chinese food. Customer service has always been great. You get charged by the weight of your plate. We definitely recommend this place if you are in search of Chinese food.“

“Erika is the person who took our order and after explaining it was my first time using the app she helped me navigate it and also helped me learn how to collect points and as well recommended us a burger that was good. And greeted us as we walked in and took our food to our table.“

“I was in drive thru and had a difficult order and they got it right! ❤️“

“Issac’s service has been above and beyond. He ensures my order is correct, he makes genuine conversation with me, and he makes me feel like a valued customer. Thank you Issac for showing that hospitality is not dead! Keep up the great work!“

“La comida esta fresca. Sus empleados son amables.“

“much better than rascals!“

“Friendly Staff, but.... they only have an 80% chance of getting the order correct. Lack of focus and a lot going at once here for some. But it's all good. I get to try things I would never order, so I'm expanding my sandwich knowledge“

“Every Table meal subscription is amazing. Delicious, healthy foods at a very fair price. 5 dinners only $38. The best part is my area has brick and mortar stores where I just walk in and buy my meal prep for the week...Meals cooked in a local kitchen by real chefs with local fresh ingredients. I'm busy all the time and although I love cooking it's hard to cook for just one person. The majority of meals are 600 calories or less. An easy way for me to stay in my calorie deficit. I just had the chicken schwarma bowl and it was soooo good. Tasted just like a home cooked meal. Highly recommend“

“Brother Daniel
Was such a helpful respectful polite individual with very welcoming attitude and attention to detail .
He was very happy to serve me and had a humble yet eager to serve demeanor great atmosphere and clean environment.

I give the location a ten 10 star rating it was very clean in the restaurant ,and the food was quick fresh made to order ..

I believe Daniel deserves a raise and a promotion.“

“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“

“M encanta los desayunos y su amable personal todo muy limpio y el cafe es lo mas rico“

“Loved it my food was warm was done fast clara was at the window she was very helpful and nice she helped me with learning how to use my app since i didnt know what i had to show her to earn points she was very helpful nice and patient with me loved the customer service come to the carls jr totally recommend and they are open 24/7 also the fries were super fresh“

“Order was absolutely correct, exactly what I requested. The food was great (as always) and delivery was on time. Food costs are higher everywhere for everyone, but when quality and service exceed expectation, it's a little easier accept . Keep up the good work TOGOs😸“

“Good tasting food n nice people. I had the 4.99 double hamb While my wife had the egg rolls. Very good.“

“Been going there since i was a kid . I love the remodel“

“Always friendly! I've never met an angry Chick-fil-A worker! Always A smile and never feeling rushed or hurried to give my order! And they move pretty efficiently. I think thrre may have been once or twice when I had to pull over and wait for my food but 98% of the time it's hot and ready“

“I had such a great experience at this Carl’s Jr! Manuela went above and beyond with her service—she was friendly, fast, and made me feel truly welcome. You don’t always get that kind of warm, genuine customer service at a fast-food spot, but she really stood out. My order was fresh, accurate, and came out super quick. Manuela made the visit so much better with her positive attitude and professionalism. Thank you, Manuela, for turning a simple meal into an awesome experience!“

“I got the nacho bell grande from this location and it was reasonably priced, my mother liked it and I would recommend it to patrons.

The clerk was nice and respectful as well and very patient which was a big plus!

Location is neat, atmosphere was kinda awkward (cuz some people were staring at me while eating) otherwise everything was good.“

“Decent place considering the location (near a wal-mart) and while taco-bell is almost as bad as Del Taco for making tiny burritos for $7.00 (I remember when a burrito supreme was $2.89 and HUGE!) at least this place is clean, and the drive through people will toss some hot sauce in. A few times I was not given my sauce, but I keep a stash at home.“

“This is one of the Best and fastest Wendy's I have ever been to. No Wendy's in Georgia compares to this one. The food is hot and fresh, the vegetables on the burgers are the freshest I ever tasted. It's clean inside and all the employees are top notch, they are all so nice and friendly. Can't wait to get a craving for Wendy's again. The employees are very courteous and nice. The A rating should be A+++, it's very clean and the workers get out your orders the fastest I have ever seen. Keep all the workers because they make a great team.“
