41 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Boston

“My wife and I stopped in for lunch today after walking a good portion of the Freedom Trail. We were pleasantly surprised at the numerous gluten free option and even more impressed with the quality of the food. The portions were generous as well, and neither one of us was able to finish our meal.

This is a tiny spot in downtown Boston, on Milk and Broad, just a couple blocks from the freedom Trail.

It is a great spot to get away from the heat and humidity and have an incredibly delicious meal that tastes home made.

Stop in and grab some really delicious comfort food, especially if you need gluten free options.“

“We stopped by here on Halloween needing some fuel for our trip to Salem! It did not disappoint! We were welcomed with smiles and free falafel tasters. It was a Friday special so we had extra falafel with the falafel bowl order too. I ordered the falafel bowl, which was INCREDIBLE! My husband had another bowl which I can't remember what it was called but it had egg in it - he also enjoyed this. There is a small seating area inside and some additional seats on the street. It was reasonably priced for the centre of Boston and I'd highly recommend! Updated from previous review on 2025-11-29“

“Clean restaurant. We came in on a Sunday night to get my daughter some chicken while we tried other things. Asked for no spice on the tenders. Flavor was a bit salty but overall the chicken was juicy and the portion size was generous. Fries were a bit of a let down, didn’t seem fresh.
Cashier was very friendly.“

“Good iced coffee 😝 and the people are very nice“

“This was the BEST DISH my son and I had at the "3rd Annual New Bedford Food Truck and Craft Beer Festival" held on September 14, 2019. The flavors were amazing and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We look forward to seeing you at future events. 😊“

“food was surprisingly fast and cheap, i thought maybe the noodles would be greasy and taste cheap, but nope these were actually very high quality noodles. this spot is a life saver for living in the area. tofu is extremely soft but the flavor was good enough for me to forgive it. i added some of my own vegetables and sauce to this and had it for lunch and dinner and had a great time. do not be foolish and live here while being ignorant of ding ho.“

“Outstanding service! Fast delivery to table of excellent quality food. A little pricey but what airport restaurant isn’t pricey. Would recommend to anyone. 5+ stars!“

“Jonah is an amazing manager he’s very nice and welcoming and not the fake kind either he’s genuine and I was taken aback. Greg was great with taking our order there was a slight miscommunication with the order but when i brought it up to Jonah he fixed it immediately and was sincerely apologetic. This is officially my favourite chick fila now.“

“Ordered their double turkey burger with lettuce instead of a bun and a garden salad. Ate the salad first and it was big, which was phenomenal. The turkey burger was juicy, the sauce was great and the lettuce wrap was green and not some iceberg junk. I would definitely order from there again. Oh, and the price was great too.“

“Great burger! Friendly, attentive staff. Thank you for a great day out!“

“delicious poki bowls and creative poki burritos. Ramen was great too“

“I was in Boston for a day and needed something to eat to hold me down for a few hours. I found this place inside a whole foods. It was weird. Nobody was there to take my order. I thought it was closed, but the hours stated it was open. I noticed the option of placing my order online via a QR code. So I did. 10 minutes later my food arrived. For the record, it was 1 BBQ burger. It looked like something you'd get at McDonald's. And tasted like the Rodeo Cheeseburger at Burger King. Actually brought back lots of memories from my childhood. Really good in a junk food kind of way. The menu actually had lots of options, all fast food inspired. I would love to go back and try it all. A bit pricy tho.

“This place is one of my favs. I go here all the time. I love building my own pizza, the food is great, the owner is the best! There is plenty of seating here, its good for you and your friends or you and the family. I definitely recommend this place.“

“If was awesome 🤩 we love it 🥰“

“I’m glad to see chicken tender chains migrating north, and Raising Cane’s is always a welcome sight. Compared to Foosackly’s and Zaxby’s, Cane’s lands in third place for me. They have the biggest tenders of the three and the best toast, but their fries are bland and overly salty, the chicken isn’t as well seasoned, and the prices are on the higher side. Still, I’ll take any southern chicken tender spots making their way up here.

Service was fast, and the food was good as expected. The interior was a little dirty but nothing extreme, and there’s some outdoor seating available—though it’s sparse.

Overall, a solid option if you’re craving chicken tenders, even if it’s not the best of the best.“

“If you’re looking for a healthy quick bite stop by Clover Food Labs, a couple blocks away from South Station. The staff is friendly and the food is always freshly made. Got to meet my former manager Jasper who I worked with at a few locations between 2015-2016. As always, it was a pleasure.“

“Food made with love is something that you can’t just find anywhere, but you can with one bite into any item on the menu at Graffiti Pizza and Street Food. My fiancée and I went tonight, I ordered a regular slice and I got the Pizzaiola sub. The slice was simple, however the taste of homemade ingredients slaps you in the face. The pizzaiola sub was something extraordinary. Half a pound of chuck steak, delicious vodka sauce and homemade mozz on fresh Italian bread… can’t beat that. For dessert we got homemade pumpkin pie. Don’t tell her but my grandma couldn’t make a better pumpkin pie on thanksgiving day. Everything was great, phenomenal date night and the owner Dave is a gem. One hell of a spot, We will be back.“

“Wonderful place to have dinner. With your friends.“

“It was a fine Five Guys branch. The food was good as other Five Guys branches.
I was ok with the order because you could order over a kiosk and you could take the time to find what you like. However, finding a parking was very hard.“

“Chicken/Lamb combo with rice was absolute 🔥. I got it with all three sauces, white, spicy and green. Huge portion and delicious also got the Horchata which was really good. Can't believe I order on Uber Eats all the time and hadn't tried this place yet will be ordering again all the time! Also they had a promo so the chickens and lamb and rice was only $12.50 instead of $17. What a steal!“

“Reasonable prices, no forced tipping, AND the waitress offered to throw out my trash?! In this economy, the fact that the food tasted good is the cherry on top. My only suggestion is to change your interior designer because it felt like I was dining at Trump Tower with all the gold...“

“Best chicken bites! Highly recommend ♥️“

“I work in the area and i go to this location frequently. The staff is always super friendly and the portion sizes are excellent for the money considering it is right outside of North Station. I find that other places in the area are far more expensive and not quite as filling.“

“Outstanding service! Fast delivery to table of excellent quality food. A little pricey but what airport restaurant isn’t pricey. Would recommend to anyone. 5+ stars!“

“I have been coming to Oliveira's Express a few times per week for a few months. The food here is very authentically Brazilian, and reminds me of the fare I have when I am in the country. Prices and variety are excellent, and I find this to be a great choice for an inexpensive takeaway meal.“

“Delish food, parking a little difficult“

“3 of us stopped here for dinner. Service is great and friendly. I had to go to the bar to order our drinks since the waitress was not very familiar with the liquor menu. We had the vegetarian and non-vegetarian platters for appetizer. We also had briyani, vindaloo and aloo channa - with garlic naan. Food was fantastic - really enjoyed it. We finished of kulfi and gulab jamun. The desserts felt store bought and were nothing to write home about“

“Quick and friendly service!“

“Excellent staff very friendly and knowledgeable comfortable atmosphere 2 thumbs up“

“Great quality, reasonable prices. I love popping in here after work for an empanada and a slice of cheese, for $4.50!!! They regularly have a pork shoulder roasted (pernil). Slice of cheese is thick and made with quality cheese and dough, unlike all the other cheap places that do ultra thin crust.“

“Their burgers are top of the line. If I want a big burger, Five Guys is my go to. And when they have the BOGO offer, the value goes crazy. And the burgers never miss.

Only critique is I wish the fries were always super crispy. I've gotten the cajun fries maybe 5 times and one time it was crispy and were some of the best cajun fries I've ever had from anywhere my entire life...and the other times they're a bit more soggy, but the taste is there (even when they're made fresh) and they're just fine.“

“The Food was Fine, but they failed to mention that a Small of Mac IS HUGE, too big, I could only eat Half, theres TOO MUCH, it's a me problem sure, but still would not go again, im not not recommending going to here, it's just my personal experience, they should specify how much you get (Yes i dont like wasting food)“

“Delicious chicken sandwich“

“This is THE place to eat if you’re at TD Garden. The cheeto popcorn and walking tacos are beyond delish. The staff was really accommodating in making my walking taco without beef for me. I’m gonna be dead honest, the walking taco was the best part of the game (since unfortunately we lost lol)“

“Good Shawarma, great people.
The service was attentive and friendly, they ask you what you want in it, and will follow your preferences. The shawarma was good and plentiful. The only drawback was a pre-cut meat, whereas, freshly cut meat from the spit makes all the difference between good and great. Still a good Shawarma and also fairly priced“

“I was so happy when I was told about this food truck!This is like the perfect food after a night out.The food is amazingly delicious! That sandwich with the special sauce it’s to die for! Definitely need to try it. They also have other types of fast food good for after you drink and their prices are very reasonable. I wish this tru k came to Boston, MA Financial District during lunch time.The service is amazing; the girl is so friendly!They accept credit cards. Don’t go on a hurry though, there may be a huge line... worth the wait though.Can’t wait to go back!“

“Best burger king this side of the railroad I'll tell you that much“

“Best quality McDonald’s food I’ve had in a long time and a clean/well managed establishment. I ate in and actually felt like I was eating at a legitimate restaurant. Manager was very friendly and is clearly great at his job given my experience at this location.“

“Una de las mejores hamburguesas que e comido y la atención muy rápida, felicidades“
