18 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Newark

“This is the best lunch spot on main street. Great value for money, and the staff are really nice“

“We decided to check out Shah's because it's conveniently close and has extended hours. Let me tell you, it was an excellent choice! From the moment we walked in, the service was impressively fast, and the staff greeted us with warm smiles that instantly made us feel welcome. The environment was spotless, setting the perfect stage for an enjoyable meal.

Now, let's talk about the food—absolutely delicious! We ordered the chicken over rice, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. Each bite was juicy and packed with flavor. The trio of sauces—red, white, and green—complements the dish beautifully, and if you’re a fan of spice, you’re in for a treat! I can't believe I didn’t think to ask for extra white sauce, chickpeas, and pita to elevate my dinner even more. Next time, I’ll definitely keep that in mind!“

“They have a great young staff here we stopped in on a busy Saturday afternoon and the service was amazingly fast. Food was hot & served almost immediately. Raising cane's on the east coast is not as good as the west but this location does it right. Playground right next door is great when you have kids“

“Good, I mean really good, chicken tenders withinteresting, mostly Asian, flavors.

Not only that, but it's a bargain! Wait till you feel the weight of chicken in each order. You won't be left hungry.

Folks at the counter were very helpful. Not all the flavor names are obvious to American ears

I encourage you to give it a try. We did for take-out. The seating is more cafeteria than most.“

“Good , but recently I saw a team member bringing a fork to a customer , but n his way he dropped the fork ,pick it up and gave it to the customer.(cross contamination) A manager was behind him but i don’t think he was aware of it . Excellent service fast and nice people ,quiality is good 👍“

“Best fry’s award!!! 🥇 they were super fresh and crispy! The seagulls and crows were really confused this morning. They were putting up the Christmas lights and the guy on the roof was getting a mean look from the crow. I felt concerned for him cause that bird 🦅 had a look of come any closer and I’ll take your eye out. His home is obviously the light next to the building and he’s willing to defend it like a Marine 😂 also the school gulls were a little upset. I think they love on the roof and so they were not a fan of the Christmas lights either. But it was a great opportunity to make a LILO and Stitch joke as the birds eat the chicken out of the trash. I have bird feed but I’ll feed them somewhere else to make life easier on the staff and cleaning crew. God bless. Staff has big ladder 🪜 NRG 😂“

“Gary service and great creams!!“

“Great bowls and burritos! Well above the chain options. Food is fresh, delicious and place is clean and customer service friendly.“

“Always good food. The staff could take a bit more care with the customers. Maybe I yroduce a tip system and lower their wage? Just kidding. I just wish the employees cared more about how they address cuatomers. The inside was a sticky mess.“

“Today train very hard , I was shocked at how the rain water poured into the restaurant. It’s time the owner fixes the roof I know you can afford it it’s time to invest in your business“

“This has to be the BEST Taco Bell ever! 2nd time in 2 days getting 6 crunchy tacos each time. It looks like the tacos were made from a machine! So perfect, no overflow, nothing soggy, crisp all around tacos still 5 mins away from home! PERFECTLY made!!“

“The service at this location is always great. They are very friendly and courteous. This last time I went though the amount of fries received was definitely lacking. Usually the put a scoop into the bag which didn't happen and the cup wasn't full. For the amount I paid for fries expected and have received more. I thought maybe the policy had changed but when I went to lunch at the location near Univ of Delaware, they did it like they always do. Maybe they were running out of fries that day. This is still my go to Five Guys primarily because of the staff.“

“I’ve frequented this location due to the consistency of food quality, especially with the tenders. At the other surrounding locations, the tenders tend to be dry but at this one, no matter the time of day I’ve come they’ve always been juicy, full of meat and fresh-tasting. Please keep it up!“

“I could have not asked for a better team today (8/9/25) at this location. Currently on a bus tour when our tour guide decided this was the place to stop. Dropping 50 plus people on a group of 4 employees. But let me tell ya, you never would have known that there was only 4 employees here. They took charge with a positive attitude and produced 50 plus subs in no time!!! The young lady was memorizing orders while the gentleman were all working in tandem. Needless to say, I am impressed and I am writing this to say those 4 employees need a raise. They took what could have been a less than fortunate situation and maybe it an absolute spectacular show of peak team work performance.“

“I was here on April the 8th, ordered food, and while waiting gun shots rang out!!! We evacuated, and I never received my food, and forgot about it!!!! I came back, explained to Ms. Maya showed her my order on my app, and without question nor hesitation, made my order over and honored my word!!! And this was a while after it happened!!! Says a lot about how they feel about their customers, and the integrity of their name!!! Employees represent every business, and they found and hired a jewel when they hired this pleasant spirited young lady!!! Thank you!!!“

“There Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers and Cheesy Baked Potato’s are everything 🙌🙌🙌“

“Very helpful and friendly plus very good cheeseburger!💕“

“I always ask for extra lettuce, in my bowl, cause I don’t get a lot of toppings. They put maybe a mouthful more. Wow, can you spare it.. I only get meat, bacon, rice. Plus not a single person in that place knew how to fix the soda machine. All of a sudden it just stopped, so as far as I’m concerned, they owe me a lg soda.“
