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.“

“Absolutely amazing food wait staff also amazing the owner is very personable. Love this place and everyone I brought loves this place as well.“

“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 🥴“

“this has been a great way to keep updated with the on goings in town.“

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

“The atmosphere was very lively but it was quite loud. Lots of customers so that's a good thing. We took that as a good sign of quality and we are glad we stuck it out and our wait time was only about 10 minutes. We got the box and the sandwich combo. Best chicken fingers ever.. hands down. My guy kept saying they have good tea. No photos cuz we ate it all.“

“Everything was amazing !!!!!!“

“Our number #1 spot once spring hits ❤️we love coming here food is very good 😍Been coming here for long time highly recommend“

“Nice little place 8 tables or so outside.. My grandson and I shared a medium sundae as a treat price is right ice cream was great approved by my grandson...“

“Great place to eat ice cream with your family ❤️“

“Yes, I am giving a five star review to a Subway. Others may be good, but we have literally driven by others to go to this one. The store is always spotless, the staff is pleasant, and they don’t skimp on the food. Got a BMT last week and the gent making my sandwich didn’t like the look of the cucumbers, pulled the whole can and got fresh ones. Not the usual ‘dig til you find some that look passable.’“

“good food and faster Service 👍“

“I stopped at McDonald’s for a quick bite, and it was exactly what I needed at the moment. My food came out fast, the order was right, and it was an easy stop without any hassle. Good option when I want something quick and familiar.“

“Very nice stop on a hot evening ( :“

“I order a 4 pieces KFC meal . It was Overrall distant but the drink ( pink lemonade ) was actually kool-aid without Sugar .“

“I had to come write this review today! I visited this store and received amazing customer service from Angelina! It was busy. She was very pleasant, patient, helpful, and had a smile as well! I greatly appreciate that! I have worked at McDonald’s for a long time! It’s rare to receive this kind of service! Thank you Angelina! 10/10 I will return.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Decided to give Jersey Mike’s a try and see what all the hype was about. Let me tell you…THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I had a simple Turkey with lettuce and tomato, but elevated to the 10th degree. My mom got the Portebella Cheesesteak and she absolutely LOVED it! We’ll be back for sure!“

“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."“

“This location has a friendly staff but the soda machine is absolutely disgusting. For decades the Berlin Tnpks Mickey D’s machine has made the drinks unbearable to enjoy. I avoid getting drinks from there for that reason. They either aren't cleaning the soda machine or they do nor clean it out properly. Please look into this matter. Im sure I’m nor the only one who feels this way.“

“Good fast food at a reasonable cost is prepared quickly. Friendly staff too. I often add a slice of my own tomato at home to the one they give you. Makes it even better.“

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

“Just had the pleasure of meeting Tony, who whipped up the best veggie patty sub I've EVER had at a Subway.He was super friendly & positive, which is a rarity in fast food workers. I remember when subway workers used to be called "sandwich artists", Tony was just that. Got it made perfect & quick!Give that man a raise or at least some kudos!“
