Fast Food Restaurants near Portland

“Great Dairy Queen location – so happy to have one nearby!

I recently moved to Cobalt and was thrilled to find out there’s a Dairy Queen just 5 minutes from my house. When I lived in Hartford, the closest one was about 20 minutes away, so this is a big win.

The store is spacious, clean, well organized, and very inviting. We stopped by after a trip to pick up treats for myself, my husband, and our guests. As always, Blizzard treats are a hit and instantly make everyone happy.

If I had one small suggestion to make it perfect, it would be to enjoy the filling throughout the Blizzard, not just at the very end.

We arrived close to closing time for inside pickup (around 9:15 pm, with the lobby closing at 9:30 pm). I initially thought it closed at 10:00 pm based on Google, but that’s actually for the drive-thru. Even so, we were welcomed, treated kindly, and had a great experience.

I’m very happy to have this as our new local Dairy Queen and will definitely be back — and bringing more people with me.“

“The subway in Portland, Connecticut is pretty much the only good subway in my whole area. Subway used to be the best fast food place, but they have all gone downhill. And this one in Portland is great because all the vegetables are fresh. The people that work there are not only friendly, but are very helpful and genuine. And no other subways are this good. This has been a long-standing subway and I come here as often as I can.“

“I’m new to the area and was so happy to find out this Burger King in Portland has a playground — that’s what caught my attention right away!

I came in with my three little girls and placed my order through the app. There isn’t an option to add your table number so they can bring the food over (like McDonald’s or Chick-fil-A do), but the manager noticed someone had ordered from inside the restaurant and brought it to our table right away, which was really thoughtful.

Everything was clean and tidy. I haven’t used the restroom yet, but I did notice there isn’t one near the playground area — which, as a mom, would be a nice plus if there was.

The staff were friendly and polite, which makes such a difference when you’re with little kids.

This will definitely be our new go-to spot.
The McDonald’s in East Hampton is closer, but since it doesn’t have a playground, we’ll be coming here instead — we eat, but honestly, we come for the playground! 😄“

“Great atmosphere. Food is delicious - great flavor and not cooked in seed oils. Love the energy of the restaurant.“

“Stopped into this location with my Son for his birthday today. Kyle was so kind to my son and made sure to make him feel special. More places need supervisors like these who put in the extra effort like this! We couldn't be happier the food was great and fresh! We will absolutely be going back!“

“Huge slices and reasonably priced drinks! Best Greek pizza I’ve had in a long tube! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“OMG🤤 I ordered from DoorDash spectacular experience but whoever made my grinder I want to bow at their feet because DELICIOUSNESS to the 1000th power🫡 it was EVERYTHING a grinder should be I felt like a pig grunting with every bite 😩 I really need to know who made it because I want to tip them big. The Newington location Fenn rd. has me in a grinderhold 🥰 I don’t have any photos because I ate the whole thing nonstop 🥴“

“Girl behind counter gave me a hard time when I didn’t get the fries I ordered. The manager came over and took care of it.“

“They make fresh fries every time I ask and never try to say they did if they didn't.

Parking: There is plenty of parking around the whole building.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are specific spots with extra space painted out for wheelchairs and ramps up the walkways.“

“I had an amazing dinner at Dar Party Pizza, and I can't stop thinking about it! If you’re a fan of classic cheese pizza, this place is a must-try. The pizza had the perfect balance of tangy tomato sauce and rich, gooey cheese, all atop a crispy, golden crust. Every bite was just so satisfying—simple but done so right. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. The cheese was wonderfully melty and had that delicious, slightly salty bite.“

“Went in yesterday and got a pretty decent size meal, it was right around dinner time and we did order ahead for pick up. They had everything all ready for us, the restaurant was clean. It was nice. The guy Geo was behind the counter, and he was super helpful, Took care of everything. I needed even asked me if I needed help bringing stuff out. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!“

“First time there. The chicken was moist and skin nice and crispy.“

“McDonald's on the Berlin Turnpike in particular always serves my food hot and who doesn't like a hot burger? The fries are always fresh when I get there whether it's morning or evening. The people that work there are pretty nice as well.“

“Tyasia is amazing she was walking by and I ask for help cause it was crowded and I was lost and she took the time to help me pick out a box combo and then she said I’m in kitchen so I’ll make your food extra crispy for you thanks so much ❤️“

“good food and faster Service 👍“

“Made a quick stop on our way down south about 2 weeks ago. The 2 guys were working with the NICEST people I have met in a long time offering water for our dog (my husband had kept outside) and making small talk. Great atmosphere and good food. These guys made our day on a long trip“

“People should apologize for miss judging this McDonald’s and not doing research before they post something on Facebook 1. YOU CAN FLY THE FLAG UPSIDE DOWN. A protester marches with an upside-down American flag. A protester marches with an upside-down American flag. EDWARD LINSMIER, GETTY IMAGES The code goes to extreme lengths to define the rules of the flag, especially with regard to the position of the "union," or the blue field with the 50 state stars, being in certain positions. Obviously the best way to fly the flag is on a pole with the union up, but you can also fly it upside down—with one catch: you have to be in some serious trouble to do so. Fly the flag upside down only "as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."“

“Do not go to McDonald’s at 1:30 pm -2:30 pm the high school kids are overwhelmingly they are 30 or more of them most of them loud and noisy and not buying anything and so far this school year nothing has been done about it. I will stop going there if this continues. I’m a paying regular customer and they completely take over and they scare people away.“

“I love to eat at this location only when it comes to Burger King 👑“

“It's good filling and fast. The resurant is very clean. Staff were friendly and efficient. Even with a line, there was no waiting. Fast stop for a good lunch. The resurant is hidden in the back of the building.

Parking: Lots of space“
