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.“

“10/10 great good & ppl !!“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely WOW. I got the lamb platter and split it with my boyfriend. Enough to feed 2 people with drinks for 20$ OR LESS. Amazingly friendly staff and I can’t even begin to tell you how fresh and delicious my food was. Totally will come back. 🫶🫶 (I got the white sauce on top super nice sort of light like a tziki sauce almost)“

“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.

“Chick-fil-A excels in drive-thru management, making them a model for other fast food chains. Despite a long queue, I was quickly moved to the front, and my order was accurate. While the fries were just warm, the overall experience was enhanced by the staff's exceptional politeness. I always appreciate their cheerful send-off, wishing customers a blessed day.“

“Chick fil a always rocks! Their management team should run for president. They have great, personable employees, they keep prices affordable for good, hot food, they deliver the product in fast, efficient and FRIENDLY manner. And your order is always right and even has napkins, straws, ketchup, and salt and pepper. The line can be wrapped around the building out to the street, and they still treat you like you are the most important person of the day. All other fast food restaurants should take note. Chick fil a managememt for president!!!“

“Honestly, this Whataburger location delivers the best customer service I’ve experienced at any food establishment. I stop by often in the mornings, and every employee consistently greets me with warmth and a smile. The thoughtful gesture of handing the bag off with two hands is such a small detail, but it really makes a difference.

The food is always made to order, hot, and fresh. I’ve never had anything less than an excellent experience here. On one occasion, I accidentally placed my order at the wrong location, but the staff here handled it quickly and without any issues.

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but this Whataburger truly deserves it. From the service to the food, they get it right every time!“

“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 👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼“

“Quality food at great price. ❤“

“great food excellent service“

“The management team and staff were awesome at this location. I had a large order for a retirement party and they worked very hard to make sure my order was done first thing that morning. The food was hot, fresh and delicious! The guys even helped me carry my order to the car. A special thanks to Michelle, Michael, Jeremy and the breakfast crew for your outstanding customer 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 😁“

“Fresh fast food with large menu options.“

“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 & exceptional fast friendly service...“

“Let me start with the service first! That young lady was amazing! She made sure our drinks were topped off, she gave us a full service treatment! She was very nice and accommodating.

Food was good, the burrito was just okay, but the chimichanga was great. The sauces were on point! The queso was good too.

Overall, if I lived here, I would be back.“

“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“

“Of course, this is a well-known chain. It has slowly migrated from a low end purveyor of subpar chicken to a service oriented higher quality fast food operation. In fact their service orientation and speed are second to none so it really puts the fast in fast food.

My favorite part isn't the ubiquitous chicken productsbut rather the well prepared healthy options, especially the kale salad. It's excellent! I know that's a bit shocking but it really is quite good“

“Today was a great day. I’ve been to this location about four times in the past year and it’s always pretty good but today was amazing. Today I had the pleasure of eating the absolute best burger at five guys ever and I have visited several in different states and locations. Nate was on the grill today and the burger literally melted in my mouth. I normally take half of my burger home to have later but today I scarfed the burger down so fast nothing was left it was perfect. The fries was very well made also, the place was clean which I’ve always seen it clean, the cashier was really sweet and I noticed that the manager was hoping around helping out everywhere. From now on I’m going to check to see if Nate is working the grill and I think I will be visiting more often. I almost took a burger to go I had to talk myself out of it.“

“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.“

“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“

“Always the best burgers and 🍟“

“I work there.7days a week“

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

“never would have expected biscuits n gravy at this eatery? wow they sure do change things up besides the usual breakfast items love McD's!)👍“

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

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

“Great food. Friendly staff. Clean store.“

“Tried it today for first time. Food is ok. I don't use much salt on my food, but some things need salt. Fries need salt. Theirs have zero. Chicken is bland. Their sauce is needed to add flavor. Won't say I'll never go back but would not choose them over others.
They need to use more environmentally friendly packaging. Styrofoam is not goid to environment.“

“Love PDQ! They have some awesome milkshakes too!“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
I have eaten here many times the past 3 yrs. Once I tried the burger & fries I was hooked. And the extra large serving of fries! Don't get me started!
My husband also liked it very much. Altho he has sinced passed away, I remember his reaction. He could tell, as I can, that the food is fresh.
Trying different toppings on the burger and the various milk shake and soft drink flavors is fun and delish!!!
Good job guys!!! See ya soon!!!“

“The chicken livers are great!“

“Mark and Preston at the Hodges location are doing a great job today!! Fast, courteous, and professional. Keep up the good work!“

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

“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!“

“I have been going here for years I spend a good 60/ 100 a week here, the guy manager was so rude to me. I won't be going here ever again. I'm always respectful to everyone at this establishment. But once I'm disrespected I will take my money somewhere else. The rest of the staff are always so nice and sweet“

“Years ago I stopped because it was horrible. My daughter talked me into going back and when I tell you they changed everything EVERYONE is nice and polite. It's a nice place to go now I haven't been to one this nice in years.

Kid-friendliness: Absolutely kid friendly“

“We just tried it for the first time and we had nothing but, positive experience. We tried pretty much everything on the menu. We had salad, chicken strips, chicken nuggets, chicken sandwich, milkshakes. Also, I'm guessing it was the manager, he was more then nice and accommodating.“

“I love that you can create your own pizza and do it in front of you. The ingredients are very good quality and the crust is very thin (love it). The pizza is out very fast and the personal size makes it perfect to have several pizzas to share. We will go back soon.“

“I would say this is a hidden gem, best tacos in Jacksonville hands down! The food was so good I forgot to take a picture. Tacos were great, & the guys working the truck were so sweet and kind. Will definitely make this my family’s new taco Tuesday spot, gps will confuse you, they are in the Prime liquors and smoke shop parking lot.“

“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.“

“I really like the friendly staff, ice cream is great and they have burgers on a lettuce wrap. Delicious!“

“This Hardee at 95 and Norwood is magnificent. The professional staff are friendly, helpful, and kind. The location is perfect and the facility is always clean and neat. The managers and area manager as well as the co-manager are especially caring toward the customers as they are served. The food is very good as well. Kudos to this location and its staff.

Parking: Perfect

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
