50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Denver

“Always a good burger at Crowns. The pastrami burger is the obvious go to. Their patty melt is another good choice. They have thicker steak fries, which is not normally my preference but they are crispy and good.
The staff is always friendly and place is clean.“

“Lilly’s Cocina is hands down one of the best family-run food trucks in Denver. Their breakfast burritos are incredible, and the deep-fried breakfast tacos are next level—crispy, flavorful, and made fresh. Amazing food, friendly people, and you can truly taste the love. Absolute must-stop if you’re in Denver.“

“Wish I could give this place 10 stars. I got into an accident right in front of here on a cold January night and ended up having to wait 3 hours for the police to show up, and then another hour on top of that for the tow truck. The staff was AMAZING and let me sit here for a total of 4 hours until I was finally able to leave when the tow truck came. Since my car was totaled, there was no way for me to sit in it and wait for hours, so I don’t know what I would’ve done if they hadn’t been so gracious and sheltered me from the cold. The staff was extremely nice to me and really calmed me down after the whole experience. I was a complete crying wreck and the guys there went out of their way to make me feel better. They even offered me a free drinks while I was there! I can’t thank them enough! It really restores your faith in humanity. I hope to get back there someday soon to leave whoever’s working a big tip, to try and pay back some part of the overwhelming kindness I received that night!“

“Nice job, Cane’s! The chicken was nice and crispy, the fries were pretty good, though I think they needed a bit more salt, and it was overall a pretty fast and pleasant experience! Our cashier, Kai, was super nice! Great on a cold day. We took it to-go, and nothing spilled, and it was still warm! Would come again.“

“Best Dawg in Denver! Chicago Dawg is great and I trying the hot polish!!!!“

“We stop at In&Out every chance we get! The food is fresh, and quality for your buck! It’s just fantastic & the owner is faith based and leaves Bible verses on every fry container! You have to stop here and try it!!
Recommend:: the classic burger & of course a chocolate shake“

“Clean restaurant, friendly staff, excellent chicken. Price is mid range with meal averaging around $11 to $13 bucks. Was not a fan of raising cane sauce. It had too much salt and pepper and almost made me sneeze. Other then that it was excellent.“

“this is by far the best chicken selling place ive been to since moving to colorado 20 years ago!!
so refreshing to have eaten a balanced meal no fried just awesome good çhicken!! they have desserts too !! thank you!!! i will join the list for discounts.“

“Indian fast food with a twist, very clean & hip with healthy options reasonably priced yet super tasty. Must try their heavenly Butter Naan. Marshall ,the owner/chef & host has stayed open through pandemic, he is a fighter and this is a true American success story.“

“Always the best service at this location! Gabriella and Virginia have treated me with respect at every interaction and that is a rare treat!! And I’m a bit of an expert on Biscuits and Gravy and they always have the best B&G in a 10 mile radius. Highly recommended!“

“Awesome food!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“great food and friendly service.“

“Everything is sooo good here! I always stop by to grab something to bring home and eat after work.“

“Great food. Absolutely delicious!“

“The only complaint I have is that they read my order back to many times. At the speaker works well, but when you give a name for your order, it seems mundane to repeat the entire order again at the pickup window. Also, on many occasions, I have ordered unsweetened tea and gotten home with sweet tea. That's big because I don't drink sweet tea, so I have to throw it out.“

“All of It, The Burgers and Shakes and Cajun French Fries and of course the PEANUTS!!! I Just Love Those PEANUTS 💯😀😀😀“

“🪽🔥Fire wings and service was great🔥🪽“

“Chick-fil-A never disappoints! The staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming — seriously some of the nicest people. Huge shoutout to them for always hooking me up with an extra almond packet for my Kale Crunch Salad (it's the little things 🙌). If you haven’t tried that salad yet, you are seriously missing out. Fresh, flavorful, and just the right crunch. Love this place!“

“Fast lines through the drive thru. Great tasting food, my favorites are the jalapeno peppers and the number 2 meal. 😋 The customer service is always good I don't ever have any issues with the staff. Overall a great fast food restaurant!“

“About a month ago, I was returning from paddle boarding with my wife and our 4yo and 2yo daughters. It started raining fairly hard and traffic got insanely backed up on i225 when my oldest daughter suddenly had to use the bathroom very urgently to a point where she was crying from holding it in. The first fast food place (or any place really) we came upon was this Chik-fil-a. After getting her out of her car seat, I began frantically running towards the door with my daughter in my arms all while she was balling her eyes out. As we approached the store, an employee somehow noticed our distress from inside and was kind enough to open the door so we could keep running towards the bathroom. Upon reaching the restroom, I suddenly felt my stomach drop and almost erupted into a panic when I noticed keypad locks on the bathroom doors. Before I could frantically turn around and seek help, that same employee who originally opened the door for us was right there already punching in the bathroom code for us while saying, “I got you. Don’t sweat it.”

I never got his name but that young man was truly a gentleman and a scholar. Hands down, he saved that day for us. He didn’t have to open the outside door for us nor did he have to recognize my arms were preoccupied with my wailing daughter and input the bathroom code for us rather than simply tell me when the code was……but he did. Thank you to him. Your small gesture of kindness might not have been a big deal to you but it definitely was for me and my family. That day, you were our hero. Thank you!“

“Ben’s fast food is delicious and very high quality. The meal is so much more than just, “healthy.” It must have taken a lot of effort to create such perfect dishes!

People commenting on the portion size. The portion size is very normal to me. I still have leftovers. And you can’t beat the price :)“

“I just want to say, Candy (I probably spelled that wrong my apologies!!) Is the sweetest! She had amazing customer service! I didn't get the other gentleman's name, but he had glasses, longer black hair, and the best attitude!! The crew tonight was wonderful!! Thank you guys for making our night!“

“Drive thru is very effective at getting your food is you quickly!“

“The staff here is WONDERFUL!! Staff can make or break a place. The staff here hands down makes it!! Very welcoming and kind! Manager was one of the best!! 10 out of 10!!!i wish I had gotten his name!! But he knows who he is!! Fabulous!! Keep up the kind work. You are making a difference!!“

“I specifically came here for their new Fried Ice Cream as Colorado was the only state I visited that sold fried ice cream somewhere near. There’s 3 tables with umbrellas each to the right of where you order. They’re mainly known for their burgers, fries, and sides though it seems.

It was my 1st time visiting a Good Times restaurant so I was confused as to where I’d order and pick up my food but while I was browsing the menu (right below) these small windows opened and there was a staff member and I just payed right there and I just stood there waiting till I got my food from the same place I payed at. Overall, nice 1st experience. I liked the fried ice cream a lot too.“

“This location is one of the best locations. I've gotten the chance to visit many,(SW Plaza, Arapahoe and Quebec) ect. The staff is always pleasant and accurate. The Don Quixote salad is so refreshing it's become my go-to order. The GM Sarina truly cares about the staff as well as the guest experience. It's become a part of my regular routine because of how incredibly nice the staff is. Shout out to Sarina and her team. Please keep up the great work guys! See you next week. 😁🥗“

“This place was amazing All their food was cooked hot and fresh I so happen to be in the area and decided to try something new and was really glad with my choice. They do want you to check in on a kiosk but are more than willing to help you navigate it or take your order in person if need be. By far one of the best burger joints in the Denver area.“

“wife and I stopped in for an after sex lunch. lovely place and lovely people.“

“My hamburger was really good! Thanks for the birthday coupon. Glad I gave you a try.“

“First time at Freddy’s…went through the drive through. Alison was so kind and patient explaining the menu and differences in the shakes. Got the Oreo concrete and Dr Pepper float with the original Freddy's smash burger. All delicious…I was a happy to wait a few extra mins because I knew they were making them fresh, and fresh it was. I’ll be back! Thanks Alison!“

“Great customer service! Isai was friendly, polite, and professional. The food was prepared perfectly and was cooked fresh. I also really like that they have the old school soda fountain machine here. The atmosphere was good but could use updating. Overall my experience was great and I truly appreciate you all taking pride in your work. Thank you!“

“If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about doing things right, Skwash is the person you want. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and stress-free. They communicate clearly, show up on time, and go above and beyond to make sure everything turns out perfect.\n\nWhat really stood out to me was the professionalism and the pride they take in their work. You don’t see that everywhere. It’s rare to find someone who’s not only skilled but also friendly, patient, and easy to work with.“

“The workers taking the order were great, the food was good. The huge problem was the bartender! After I ordered my food (while waiting) I decided to have a beer. I sat down and asked for an IPA; the bar turned out a menu in front of me and I explained that I had ordered. That’s when he said that I was supposed to order from him if sitting at the bar and to remember that in the futur (in a rude tone). I sled of if I could still eat there and he said “I never said you couldn’t eat here” in an even ruder tone. That’s when I walked away“

“Love this place.. I don't do the potatoes in the gyro (yee-roo) but they are on point.. add feta if you like“

“Burgers are a little salty, but cooked to order and always hot. Got my receipt and it had a senior discount on there. First time this has happened to me and I'm in my low 50's, so while the discount was nice, the ego was bruised. 😂“

“Muy rico todo y muy amables me atendió una señora muy amable“

“Shoutout to Kenneth & Chris for helping us out with a messed up DoorDash Order. We had ordered DoorDash from here, dasher never brought the pizzas we ordered. They remade fresh ones for us to pick up. When we mentioned the salad the dasher did bring to us smelled like cigarettes, not only did they remake the salad for us but gave us an additional one. Excellent service was provided at its best! After a long day of work, their kindness helped make things better. Thank you Kenneth & Chris! Y’all are the best!“

“First time there! Awesome food.“

“Stopped in for a breakfast burrito with my husband. We ended up trying that and a few other items. The breakfast burritos were amazing. Perfectly crisp bacon and ratio of fillings. Plus a house made tortilla was just the icing on the cake. Next we tried the quesabirria taco. Hands down best thing I’ve eaten in a while. Last thing we had was the churros. I got a dulce de leche filling and my husband got just regular churros. They were both so delicious and freshly made. Everything was just so delicious we will definitely be back again.“

“The staff is very friendly and attentive. Food is great.“

“One of the few places in the area to find a reasonably priced breakfast or lunch.Everything I've tried has been pretty good.It can get busy around noon, and wait times are inconsistent. The salad bar is a good option for a grab and go with a minimal wait.“

“Was pleasantly surprised, I like that you can build your own thin slice or thick crust pizza. My daughter ordered chicken, black olives and spinach topped with ranch and I ordered one with Italian sausage, rustic garlic, and black olives both thin slice and our pizzas came out crispy and delicious. The service was excellent and I like that the pizza is brick oven fired, really clean and like I said great service, will definitely come back and if you want quick and quality pizza this is the place.“

“I had the Italian sub. The BEST sub I have ever eaten!! The way they toast the bread is delicious. The balance of flavors was perfect. Yum! Highly recommend!!“

“Very friendly“

“Freaky Fast? More like teleportation.

I swear I barely finished hitting “Place Order” before someone was already knocking on my door like they’d been hiding in the bushes with a sandwich ready. These people must use wormholes or time travel—there’s no other explanation.

The sandwich was so fresh it practically winked at me, the bread was perfect, and the delivery driver looked like they’d just come out of hyperspace. If NASA had Jimmy John’s running mission control, we’d already be living on Mars eating #12 Beach Clubs by now.

Bottom line: delicious, dangerously fast, and possibly violating the laws of physics. 10/10 would risk a sandwich time paradox again.“

“clean place, delicious food 😋🤗“

“They have one of the best breakfast Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwiches. It's always fresh and taste great. They always meet you with a pleasant interaction through the drive through. To me, that always enhances my food and the experience.“

“The guy at the counter was rude, assuming, I ordered. GRILLED ONIONS, AND GOT REGULAR ONIONS, AND A LOUSY BUN, THAT FELL APART. it was about a week old It was done on purpose a lot $$ for lousy food.“

“If you're wondering how McDonald's became the near trillion-dollar operation that it is today... just know that it started out with basically this business model.

The only real problem with good times is that you are paying a premium over most of their fast food competitors... to be fair the food is better, but with the strip down location and streamlined menu it should be 15 to 20% cheaper“

“Loved the prime rib sandwich, now just need a utah residence. I've eaten more expensive sandwiches for the same price if not more expensive, and Snarfs prime Rib beats them. Though wish gluten free was more affordable or had a sourdough, and couple more ingredients like avacado and olives. But even without I think the prime Rib is one of the best sandwiches you can buy, better than any deli sandwich place that's local where I live.“
