50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Newton Upper Falls

“I am on Keto and I got a Keto friendly burger wrapped in lettuce. It was so delicious. Thanks guys!“

“My husband and I love coming to banh mi cafe, it’s one of our neighborhood go-to’s. It’s especially great to pick up a banh mi for a little picnic across the street, or by the library, which is advised bc they only have three counter seats.

Everyone here at banh mi cafe is efficient and welcoming, so service is quick. You can easily order at the kiosk if you’re feeling antisocial, the the staff are open to answering questions too. I usually go with the standard deli meat sandwich which is phenomenal. I tried their bbq pork and their lemongrass tofu last night. Both were super tasty, but I’m always nostalgic for a traditional banh mi personally. However, the lemongrass tofu was honestly a sleeper hit. It’s really flavorful and has such a nice contrasting texture against their French bread. Highly recommend it here! Their fresh rolls are also fantastic—extremely crisp, I think they add chive in it? It’s great, whatever it is lol. I will say, in the dozens of times I’ve been, they have only sold out of bread once after 6/6:30pm, but when I tell you I was absolutely devastated…so get there early if you can!“

“Between the Buns in the heart of Norwood is a gem! The customer service is outstanding, with friendly staff that makes you feel right at home. Their array of sandwiches is impressive, offering something for every craving, from classic favorites to unique creations. The best part? The prices are incredibly reasonable, making it a great spot to enjoy a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place is definitely worth a visit!“

“The highlight of this place is the service! I met Ari there and she was amazing! Gave me recommendations and helped me choose among the options.
She is very friendly and attentive, not only her but all the guys that work there.
The food was fresh and tasty, even for take out!“

“This place is located in a plaza, so there is plenty of parking. The inside was clean, and it was quiet for a weekday during lunchtime. My order was ready within 5-6 minutes, and service was friendly.

- Combo #7 Slider + Fries: My first bite of the chicken was dry, but the rest was moist. The breading was seasoned well, but I didn’t taste any heat from the “Hot” spice level. Nothing special about the bun, and the coleslaw added a nice contrast, but I wish there were more on the slider. Wasn’t a fan of the fries because they were bland and not crispy at all despite eating them within 5 minutes. The sauce was good, though.
- Fried Oreos ($5.99): This was my first time trying fried Oreos, and they were surprisingly better than I expected. The outside was very flaky with a mochi-like inside. The Oreo taste didn’t change after being fried, but it had more of a brownie-like texture.

Not bad overall.“

“Our favorite pizza in Dedham!“

“I have been nothing but happy with my ordering from AK's. The delivery charge is minimal and the delivery is super quick. Even when I order around lunch time, with the order tracker, I can see it leave the restaurant promptly. Each delivery driver has been very friendly. I am in love with the soup of the day! Worth it, all around!“

“Clover is super fast and easy to order from, this location is no exception and conveniently located too where there aren’t already many vegetarian/vegan places. I do wish this location was open a bit later, but a lot of restaurants in Inman seem to close early, so perhaps an area-specific thing. I’ve never had a bad meal at Clover - all the vegan options have been great, and I appreciate that they change up the menu based on local, seasonal ingredients. My go-to is the chickpea fritter, the current lemonade flavor, and the rosemary fries. Just make sure you eat the fries right away, they’re wonderful but they do get dry!“

“I haven't been to Chick-fil-A in a while and everything is the same quality (although the grilled chicken sandwich is smaller in quantity/size)! Food tastes great, service is impeccable, fun and chill atmosphere, with a great music selection!“

“Very good, But I don't want to hamburger anymore“

“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.“

“OGGI is not one thing. Looking like a pizzeria at first glance, it is! With large inexpensive slices. But check out the menu of creative burgers and my own fave, a caprese smoked salmon sandwich with pesto. The high-end comfort food cooked with love by Steve is perfectly complemented by wine, beer, and full-bar offerings. Free jazz Thursday evenings and low-cover gigs many nights make this not just another pizza joint but a full- service jazz bar. Best post-pandemic discovery in the Square.“

“One of the better slices of pizza I've had in my life and the same can be said for the chicken ceasar wrap. Portion sizes and taste are pretty much unbeatable for the price in Boston- 10/10. The guy behind the counter when I grabbed my food was also super nice.“

“1. Ordering from the mobile app is so easy and efficient.2. Our order was ready for pickup before the suggested time.3. Upon entering the store, the crew member greeted and helped us with the pickup right away.4. Our order was accurate and well-packed. The bowl was delicious and comforting! The loaded tortillas soup bowl is my all time favorite!!“

“Delicious (pieces of) pizza and foccacia, very tasty! I took a 'small slice' and that was more than enough for lunch for me.
And bread, rolls and Italian products for sale. Couple of places to eat locally. Very sweet service.
Had a delicious lunch!“

“I think their chicken wings really taste like McDonald’s spicy chicken wings in China! ! ! ! There is nothing like Korean fried chicken in Boston, but every time you want to eat domestic taste, this is the fried chicken! And that chicken fillet roll really tastes like the old Beijing chicken roll “

“I ordered the Big Burger and Strawberry Love shake and they were delicious. Staff member behind the counter was very helpful. I ordered from the app and had a little trouble getting to the payment screen and staff member showed me how. Food was prepared quickly and was hot. I noticed another customer didn't want to use the tablet to order and staff member took her order at the register. I read other reviews criticizing everything I found perfect. Updated from previous review on 2025-09-11“

“If was awesome 🤩 we love it 🥰“

“I’m honestly glad that I waited to post my original review with a lower rating and thought through the experience a little bit more. As always, I find it a bit harder to review fusion spots. Not just any fusion either, but one that is all over the world map. It’s easy to just nitpick one dish and use it to judge everything else; but what about that is remotely fair?

For example, their Beef Rendang (a dish that I’m very familiar with - including the different regional renditions) is more like a hint towards what “real” Beef Rendang is. I don’t even need to speak on behalf of the Filipinos regarding their adobo (which I also grew up on) who are infamous to show up on public forums to criticize and say “that’s not how my grandmother makes it” (lol).

What did come to mind is the old quote that many often find negative but actually was meant to be a positive phrase (if the last part isn’t so often omitted). “Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than a master of one”.

That definitely applies here with their style of food. There’s a lot going on and a good portal to the true potential of each dish. Definitely give them a try! Portions are good and the food is definitely tasty!“

“ㄧWhen I walked into the store, a waiter came over to inquire and order. This person ordered a set meal (sandwich, fries and drink), and chose the Chickpea Fritter for the sandwich. The fried chickpeas were served with a lot of lettuce. , cucumber and salad dressing, added to the sandwich, although it is refreshing but relatively tasteless, but I personally don’t like the falafel too dry. The rosemary fries didn't have much seasoning or saltiness, but I personally thought they were pretty good. I chose ginger lemon for the drink, which has a light ginger taste but no sweetness. The overall taste of the meal is quite bland, maybe you can add some pepper to make it more delicious. Friends who like light and refreshing meals may like the meals here.

“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.“

“Had the famous falafel sandwich at Clover in front of Harvard—easily one of the best I’ve had in a while. The pita was slightly toasted on the outside, giving it a nice crunch, and the filling was super juicy and packed with flavor. Fresh, satisfying, and definitely worth the hype. Will be back!“

“awesome burgers 🍔and fries 🍟“

“My first couple of veg*n outings in this town were terrible, so everything since has been a delightful contrast. None less than Clover. Unsure why this chain is not entirely vegan - surely they could replace the cheese and sour cream (and egg) with vegan substitutes - but anyway I had the Mediterranean Bowl: falafels with chickpea and eggplant salad (could not identify any eggplant), pickled red cabbage and a green tart tahini dressing on the side. Very, very tasty. Tho be warned - if you don’t like your meals drowned in tahini, perhaps best to request this on the side.“

“I got them on Uber eats but I feel compelled to write this because this my second order and their flavors and food is on point. I live a pretty hectic life and the last thing I need is takeout that’s lackluster. If you want comfort food where you are still eating good for good price, Maaz is it! Their spicy chicken sandwich hits the spot and their lamb and chicken rice plates too!! You gotta try them once and you’ll be hooked!!! I’ll be coming back to try more foods! I would post photos but I just inhaled my sandwich ? someone give the cooks a hug for me“

“The CLEANEST and FRIENDLIEST fast food restaurant i have ever been to. Beatrice and her daughter Angel are amazingly helpful and create such a positive and exciting environment for the customers. The bathrooms are kept clean, the tables are wiped down, the windows are spotless. Drive through service is always speedy aswell. 11/10 for service from this location.“

“Best chicken bites! Highly recommend ♥️“

“Good place to grab a decent sub. They’re not trying to reinvent the wheel… Average sub is about $10, $11. Only real complaint is that the subs are either slightly overpriced or slightly undersized… take your pick. But very friendly. Quick, when it’s not too busy and plenty of place to park and wait.“

“Just had my first burger with Cajun fries from Five Guys and I understand the cult factor now.
The employee who took my order (according to the receipt, Derek P) was super friendly and patient (I was overwhelmed by the sheer selection of toppings and ultimately decided on “all the way” without mushrooms).
The burger was prepared very quickly and tasted great - and the fries: they deserve multiple awards. 🤤 Unfortunately I only had a small portion.“

“I went here after my Harvard reunion and it was the very best vegan meal I had the whole time. The crispy vegan chick’n sandwich (although not actually crispy) was delicious, with pickles inside and a tasty creamy red sauce. The bread (pita) of it was exceptionally good. They also gave me a little sample of the Sichuan mushroom sandwich, which was also extremely good and I’d get it next time. They never had a veg place in the Science Center when I was here at school!“

“It is a Dairy Queen. Some seats toward grass. Decently friendly, they made one of our 4 orders twice and as things coming out separately older kid grabbed cone for younger and they already had it...so yeah stuff happens as busy, this time extra, assume if cone not made they seem like would just fix order.“

“Delish food, parking a little difficult“

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

“This place is going to become one of my favorites. I can't believe this is all vegan!! The Nashville Hot Mushroom Platter has fried mushrooms with spicy sauce and salads on side. Crunchy and yummy. Also tried store-made ginger soda. Definitely different from ginger ale. It's less sweet and has more natural/real ginger flavor. Was not as bloating despite being carbonated. Really enjoyed the combo for lunch. Also packaging (eg the cup for the soda was made out of plants per label?!) is environmentally friendly as well ?.“

“Burgers are the best! Service is always friendly absolutely my favorite!!!!!“

“It's ok but sometimes they don't make my coffee right“

“For chain roast beef, they are remarkably consistent. The chicken and fish are good as well. Today, I found the floors to be sticky, but not dirty, like too much soap in the mop water. I was surprised they charge for extra tartar sauce and then give ten packets of ketchup for one order of fries. The prices are reasonable and I recommend them as an alternative fast food restaurant.“

“Nirvana is one of our favorite Indian restaurants. We dine here often. The food is consistently good, the service is fine, and the ambiance is nice. We wish those large TVs over the bar were not there. No one seems to watch them, but they distract.“

“Fun cool and comfortable creative“

“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“

“MI NIESTOS Y MIS HIJOS SOMO FIJOS EN DELICIOSO EL DIA Y TODAS SU COMIDA EL LUGAR IDEAL PARA TODAS LA FAMILIAS“

“We visited this Five Guys location in the evening, just before its 10 PM closing time. We ordered a hamburger and a cheeseburger, both with a great variety of toppings to choose from, including grilled mushrooms, mayonnaise, ketchup, tomatoes, lettuce, and more. The cheeseburger was as rich and flavorful as ever, making it a fantastic option for customizable burgers.

We also got the signature Five Guys fries, which were delicious and came with a fun touch—a small whiteboard in the store displayed the origin of the potatoes used that day, which happened to be from Idaho. Although we didn’t order drinks this time, it’s worth noting that they’re very affordable, at just over two dollars, with unlimited refills. Overall, Five Guys offers a consistently satisfying fast food experience that never disappoints.“

“Great for spending extraordinary moments with friends“

“One of the better McDonalds I’ve frequented for lunch. I’ve been here multiple times over the last few weeks and the food is usually hot and fresh (hot fries) which can be hit or miss at fast food joints. The staff seems to have a good system during lunch rush and the wait is minimal even when the drive thru line is long.“

“Never in a million years would I rave about a Burger King, but this one is really good. My Whopper was fresh and not soggy like it usually is, and the ambiance is terrific with lots of sunlight and great comfortable tables.This is the one to go to. I actually enjoyed eating there.“

“The food is always fresh and delicious! Love the ‘Shroom burger and the crinkle-cut fries.“

“Nicest employees, but please, bring back breakfast until at least 11am. No one wants to eat lunch at 10:30 in the morning. It’s very frustrating because I want to give you my business, but I have to go to Dunkin’ Donuts if I want a breakfast sandwich for breakfast because you’re only serving lunch at 10:30am. Thank you! 😊“

“Amazing pizza and staff always coming back“

“We had a problem with the online ordering for party today (outdoor) but the staff at Dedham took care of everything did a great job we had our food when we had originally planned - everything fresh , delicious and enjoyed by all. Thank you!!!“
