50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Jacksonville

“I was craving some good cevapi and it was recommended that I stop at the Balkan Cafe. It’s not a big place and the seating is limited, but the food is amazing. Kudos to Ado for doing such a great job. I’ll be back many times.“

“Dining at Hollywood Heroes and Subs was a very pleasant surprise. I went here with my coworkers. It is a little hidden gem. The entire team is welcoming and friendly. The price is affordable, and the food was fresh and fast. I really enjoyed my lunch. I will definitely be back and it was definitely worth venturing out to try.“

“my daughter and I had a great time at their 50s Daddy Daughter night. Thanks for so much fun.“

“10/10 great good & ppl !!“

“The food is amazing. I enjoyed the corn nuggets. It is fresh , sweet , creamy & delicious.
The lemon pepper season is very yummy. It adds a tangy & spicy flavor. I enjoyed it a lot with the Boom boom sauce, the chief special secret recipe.
The service is soOo quick & I appreciate how caring & sweet staff was. I highly recommend everyone who loves seafood to come & order their food from this location.
It’s halal & kosher certified as well.“

“Food is great ! Customer service is amazing thanks to Amber !!!! She was so sweet and helpful with questions we had. Will definitely be coming back“

“Love, love, love the food here. I’ve ordered their chicken over rice dish (get the crispy platter with fries, trust me!!!) at least 10 times and each time the bowl comes packed with protein. Such a good price for the amount you’re getting — and the sauces are divine!!!

And my mom loves their falafel wrap — she’s picky and doesn’t like many falafel dishes in Jax because she says it’s easy to get it wrong, make the falafels too dry, etc., but she was blown away by Baba’s Halal’s falafels.

I’ve also ordered the buffalo wings and wasn’t a fan — it was over-salted and not a great sauce-to-chicken ratio. Plus, it didn’t come with ranch, which I feel like should be a given with any wings.

My only wish is that they weren’t located in the Avenue’s Mall Food Court. I personally find that mall depressing/not very active, and because of that I don’t visit it too often. I think this sort of food would be see a lot of success and be much better suited somewhere like Southside or Beach Blvd or the Town Center or even San Marco. Until then, I’ll continue to use DoorDash to order food from here every week!“

“My philly chicken sub was made with pita bread instead of a sub roll. I wasn't told this when I picked up my order. Now it's literally falling apart and I have to eat it with a fork. Honestly love the food but wish they would make orders correctly or advise customers before making modifications, if they're out of sub rolls.“

“Listen, I can’t say enough great things about this spot!!! The reviews do not lie!! I often times am looking for a healthier option, especially late at night and I love that they offer grilled food as well as cheese steaks, seafood, just other options aside from fried food only. The fried food doesn’t disappoint either! Britney along with all the other staff is absolutely amazing. Their customer service is top-tier and the food is always fresh and well seasoned. I’m hooked! My family and I have been consecutive days in this last week and will continue to come. This is just pictures of what I had. Do yourself a favor and try them out, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“We love eating here! It’s a great value for the amount of food we get. Love the wings/fries combo and the family size platters. Oh can’t forget my fish😊. The staff is very friendly and they always have a smile and wonderful attitude 😊 Thanks, The Pence Family“

“Jeff and his team of amazing workers really out do themselves. The best chick-fil-a in the area hands down. The store is clean, friendly and fast. We come in with 15+ participants everytime we come and they are so patient with our IDD friends! This store definitely deserves to be highlighted because WOW they are amazing“

“This location has THE best customer service. They delivered the food to table, one drink had some leak on lid and the associate took it back to clean it off!! Then My Dr. Pepper tasted watered down i was just letting them know, so they knew. an associate gave me a different drink but one of the other ones went in the back and actually fixed the machine. Came out and brought me a fresh dr. pepper! BETTER SERVICE THAN A FANCY RESTAURANT!! GOOD JOB CHICK-FIL-A 👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼“

“Absolutely delicious! My brother brought home a platter of the fish, tenders, fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw along with an array of sauces and we were both pretty impressed. I’m picky about fried fish so I was prepared to be critical, but I’ve actually been craving their fish ever since lol. And the tenders have a great breading flavor to them as well. Both the fish and tenders weren’t greasy at all which is appreciated. The fries are also something I look forward to getting again, they’re not seasoned but they are some good crinkle fries. I enjoyed the coleslaw too, I even saved some to eat throughout the week with other things. The only “flaw” were the puppies being a little dry but nothing was truly wrong with them and the flavor was spot on so of course none went to waste. Their best sauce is this green looking tar tar sauce that tastes like garlic Parmesan. All in all this place has great, honest food especially for the prices from what we got to try. We live in St. Johns county, so all the locations are pretty far from us but we think it’s worth it to make the drive again. I hope the few negative reviews are just random slip ups because I really do think this place is a hidden gem for an affordable and delicious meal, which is hard to come by these days.“

“Jamese did an amazing job. Although I was initially upset about the wait time for my food, Jamese apologized and kept me informed. She double-checked each order and expressed gratitude for my patience. Considering the restaurant was busy and understaffed, Jamese handled everything efficiently, taking orders, packaging, and delivering. Her efforts, along with the other staff, were impressive.“

“Wow! What a great pizza venue. We walked into a line of 12 people ajead of us but with 7 minutes we were greeted at the counter but soany smiling and polite employees. Kudo's to management. All the employees seemed pleased and happy to be working. I didn't feel like a customer at all. I felt like family.

The line moved quickly. It was our family's first time. It only took us 5 minutes to figure out the menu, so easy. Ordering was accurate. The 3 gentlemen on the line were amazing. Asking us if we wanted extras for our pizza or Oregano. Yes please! At end the cashier that rang is up, was so patient, and went over our orders. I loved the way they use the paper to write and circle our orders.

The restaurant was clean, easy to use fountain machine for soda's. Wait time when we say down was probably 10 minutes but we also ordered salads and cheesy bread. The salads were great too! We ordered 1 each of the Caesar and Caprese. The cheesy bread and pizzas were perfect. We love the thin crust and it wasn't burnt. That young girl turning those pizzas in front of the oven, she's good. Thank you so much for an amazing dinner tonight. Red vine with mozzarella and basil, cheesy bread no pesto, build your own 1 topping with bacon and a half pizza with a salad. $56.00 with tip. We'll definitely be back and recommend this place for a great bite for dinner.“

“I grabbed lunch here the other day and it was pretty good overall. The line moved fast and the staff were friendly without making a big deal out of it. My burger was hot and the fries were crispy, maybe a little salty but still tasty. The place looked clean enough and I found a table easy. Prices felt fair for what you get, nothing crazy. I wouldn’t say it changed my life lol, but if you’re hungry and want something quick this spot does the job nicely. I’ll probably come back when I’m in the area again.“

“We ate here for a late dinner. We ate a gyro and shrimp fettuccine alfredo. I prefer to over season and add more salt when I prepare my food at home. Still, the food here is really good not over seasoned or salty was delicious after I added some table salt. Not bad at all... clean and relaxing atmosphere and great customer service. At the end the girl behind the counter asked me how was it and I really appreciated how attentive she was. I will visit again I will try and kabobs next time.“

“Very good customer service 😊“

“I absolutely recommend this Chick-fil-A to everyone. The food is always delicious and the service is top notch. Sherry is so sweet, along with everyone else. I can't get enough of the spicy chicken sandwiches and don't get me started on their lemonade.....it's the best around.“

“We eat at Culver's at least twice a week, never had a problem before today 3/11/26. We always ordered the same thing, 4 , 2 piece fish dinners with added sides. We got home and didn't have one of the dinners w/onion rings, we drove 4.3 miles to get the dinner. We gave the young lady the recipe and showed her which dinner was missing, the one with onion rings, we parked and when they brought the order out, we checked before driving off and still didn't have the onion rings. We LOVE the food, so could we please have someone check and verify the order before it goes out to the customers in drove thru. Thanks Curtis Houston 🤔“

“Quality food & exceptional fast friendly service...“

“Great staff!! Amazing food and atmosphere. All the staff are always very polite and knowledgeable about the menu. They dont make you feel rushed. The food is always fresh. We come on different times of the day and always get exceptional service!!“

“Amazing food, I love their tacos. And my fav hot sauce of theres is their Jessie sauce. It’s sweet with a kick. Highly recommend them 😁“

“Jason C is the best employee ever, he needs a raise. I came in STARVING because I didn’t want to stop at Bojangles…I’m on my way to college, he made my night! He was so nice and polite. The food 10/10. Super clean, super amazing, I would go to this Five Guys if I were you!!“

“I dont eat burgers, but this one was exellent“

“I like the food here but sometimes they can get carried away with the lemon pepper seasoning.... It was waaaaay too salty tonight. But it was hot and good. The young staff are always pleasant and accommodating. Will keep returning for the experience.“

“My husband and I love coming here. The service is great, and quick. There’s a young lady there - Terryauna Myers - who always provides us with excellent service. Her manner is very sweet and friendly; she always gets our order right. She goes the extra mile to make sure we are taken care of. Thanks for the great experience Hardees Team!

I couldn't find the button to write a new review so I'm adding in this space our experience with the manager of this store, Petrice (I hope I spelled that correctly). She is professional, courteous, and friendly. She always greets the customers. She keeps the store clean. Petrice provides a great experience for the customers. We appreciate her presence at this store!“

“When I tell you this is THE best chick fil a I’ve been to, I really mean it. The staff are always extremely helpful and there are almost never mistakes on my order which is surprising because this location is usually quite busy. Sometimes I’ll even ask for a side of pickles and they are glad to give me a little extra. 10/10.“

“I love this place. Especially this location. I come here 3-4 days out of the week , in the mornings , and just by my voice they know EXACTLY what my order is without me having to say it. They are so kind , respectful and helpful. Always smiling and always making sure we felt heard. Our orders are never messed up nor wrong. They have nailed it at this location!“

“I stop by here on my way to work I was the only car in line got to the window to pay a young lady look like she had pajamas pants came to the window for me to pay attitude wasn't pleasant at all I waited about 10 minutes for my order a other young lady brings the order I told her thank you she looked at in walk off. That was my first time at that location leaving from the window was a lil confusing and im guessing they was chilling before I came up and when I made my order for a meal funnel fries and a apple pie they probably felt like that was too much because it showed with there action 3/25/26 around 2145 my food was fresh though“

“I love hardee's foods. Employees are nice managers are mean“

“Quality food at great price. ❤“

“I. love. work. at. my. job“

“I work there.7days a week“

“Awesome friendly service!“

“Fresh fast food with large menu options.“

“great food excellent service“

“Great food! The Manager was very friendly and professional! They were having trouble with their credit card machine today & we were still able to get our food. Thanks again you guys are awesome!“

“The Arby's located on Beach Blvd near St John's Bluff Rd is my favorite, as it was the one my late husband and I went to most. He really liked the French dip, and I liked it too, but now I really like the classic Greek Gyro. They have a plentiful menu to choose from and will fix fries with no salt for me when I ask.“

“Best pizza in Jax. Very thin and crispy crust and perfect toppings. I ordered the Caspian and it was 10/10. We ordered two 11” pizzas and 2 drinks and it was around $30. Love the fact you can fully customize a pizza and there are no limits and extra charges for toppings.“

“Cheronda provided great customer service throughout drive thru visit. From my first interaction on the intercom to the end before I drove off, Cheronda was super friendly. She’s an example for setting the right tone for the day. Thanks for making me smile and making my day. 👏👊“

“First time at Hardee’s and I enjoyed it. Michael took our order, extremely nice guy. Everything (counters, floor, tables) was clean, soda machine clean and restocked, food was fresh, French fries were nice and hot. Overall very nice experience!“

“This is one of my Favorite spots to eat, Everything fresh and good food, just trying to figure out if you're ordering fish or scallops or shrimp,why are we paying for tartar sauce,I seen a dollar charge for two tarter sauces and sometimes not in bag and have to ask for it, and wait till they come back from inside getting it,after ordering fish and scallops 😭“

“Consistently great food and service. The staff is kind and provides fast service, no matter how busy they are. The chicken is always juicy, and the waffle fries are perfectly crispy. The soup is a delicious and comforting favorite, especially since they always give me extra saltine crackers. A reliably excellent fast-food experience.“

“first time at this location young lady with glassed took my order was very helpful and kind and made this visit outstanding and plan on coming back soon .reason for visit had a job in the area“

“Everything was great if you’re wanting some fried chicken, french fries & cole slaw. It was hot, fresh and the sauce was pretty good too. My only complaint is there is nothing “healthy” on the menu like a grilled chicken or a salad so when the kids want their chicken i’m stuck either not ordering or getting fried foods“

“Me and my family are from out of town and decided to try this place. Highly recommend the food, wait was a little long but ok because at least I know the food was cooking lol. The young guy at the counter Markell (sorry if spelled wrong) was so kind and gave us suggestions on the food. Give him a raise!“

“Always the best burgers and 🍟“

“Omg I love this place and the guy on the drive thru is stooopid.“

“Surprisingly good fast food burgers. Five guys has become our go-to for fast burgers. We appreciate the ability to customize, that we can see the kitchen and the fact that nothing is ever frozen.

The difference between this five guys and other locations was the burger. Well done, without being burned and NOT greasy. Whatever they're doing, they're doing it right.“
