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.“

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

“10/10 great good & ppl !!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Review of Breakfast at Hardee’s – River City, Jacksonville, FL

I recently had breakfast at the Hardee’s in River City, Jacksonville, FL, and I must say it was an excellent experience from start to finish. This location stands out not just for the quality of its food but for its exceptional cleanliness and outstanding staff.

Food – 5/5

I ordered the ham biscuit along with a cup of coffee, and both exceeded my expectations. The biscuit was fresh, warm, and perfectly baked—flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. The ham was generously portioned, slightly smoky, and had just the right amount of saltiness to complement the buttery biscuit. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying.

The coffee was hot, smooth, and well-balanced, without any burnt or bitter aftertaste. It was a great way to start the morning, pairing perfectly with the biscuit.

Cleanliness – 5/5

This Hardee’s is, without a doubt, one of the cleanest restaurants I have ever visited. The floors, tables, and beverage station were spotless, and even the restrooms were well-maintained. The attention to cleanliness is truly commendable and sets this location apart from many other fast-food establishments.

Service – 5/5

The staff at this Hardee’s deserves high praise. They were friendly, welcoming, and extremely efficient. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a genuine willingness to provide great service. My order was taken promptly, prepared quickly, and handed to me with care. It was clear that the employees take pride in their work, and their professionalism made the visit even more enjoyable.

Overall Experience – 5/5

If you’re looking for a great breakfast in a clean and welcoming environment, the Hardee’s at River City in Jacksonville is a fantastic choice. The food is delicious, the restaurant is impeccably maintained, and the staff goes above and beyond to make customers feel valued. I highly recommend this location and will definitely be returning!“

“Quality food at great price. ❤“

“Fresh fast food with large menu options.“

“Awesome friendly 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!“

“Went through the drive-thru. Ordered, and was told to follow the car in front of me. I did, but the car kept going and I was confused as to where I should have stopped. Not familiar with there way of doing things. Staff was very nice and the single w/o cheese and fries was very good, and hot too. Burger tasted like it was first class quality and cooked perfectly. I'll be back“

“great food excellent service“

“Been coming to Five Guys for over a decade now and the quality of their food is always top tier no matter what city I’m in. Best cheeseburger joint hands down, with great customer service - something that other fast food places just can’t replicate“

“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.“

“I work there.7days a week“

“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.“

“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“

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

“I have never had a good experience at a five guys restaurant before. From the food being prepared bad, to a location forgetting to put meat on my to go hamburger, I’ve just despised this franchise. However, this time I have a different opinion. My girlfriend was hungry and wanted to get fries and a shake. I decided to get something as well. The food was very flavorful and the fries were cooked and seasoned to what I would consider perfection. I still feel it is very overpriced but this location ran things smoothly and took care with the cooking of the burgers and fries . Well done.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Always the best burgers and 🍟“

“I have not tasted food yet but as I sit waiting for my order, I want to commend a young man named Carlos. Treat him right because somebody looking for a good customer service representative in any field just might try to snitch him from you. 🤠 He was really singing the praises of five guys. Thanks Carlos❗ (maybe I'll remember to come back here and post a review of the food)
Well... The food was OUTSTANDING! I'll be back. 👍“

“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.“

“Never known I needed a Venezuelan burger in my life till today. Absolute flavor in every bite. Was not disappointed! Fries were pretty decent and tasted natural.

The language barrier was a nice touch to keep it authentic. Minimal English on the menus, Love it. Surprise me. I'm not picky. Point and eat.

Anyways, overall great mom and pop truck with seating and plenty of parking. Cozy neon lights at night. Well done.

Note: I came late at night (11pm) and I waited 15 minutes for a burger. During peak hour I could only imagine the difference in wait times. THEY DID SUGGEST AND ENCOURAGE CALLING AHEAD.“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Clean store.“

“we always visit the sheik Everytime we are in town. the best there is“

“the food is insanely good i love eating here!!“

“As I walked in every employee was welcoming great customer service the shift manager Ms.Raegan was very polite work well with her team all valued the customers with superior work ethic. I would post my food but it was so hot and fresh we ate it . But thank you all so much

Kid-friendliness: Welcome kids ask what they would like just great all the way around“

“They have great breafast bowls and great people! Where appreciation started here the year I was shipped overseas in 2004 and in the 22 years since being as its the 22nd of the first month of the year I thank you for your continual dedication to providing excellence in food, service, and community! One of the greatest ways to show appreciation is with a smile and God smiling today with beautiful weather and beautiful skies.“
