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!“

“Welcoming and very upbeat spit to grab a quick take out order or sit and chill while you eat! Very clean! Food was AMAZING! Mark the owner was super kind to us and made sure we enjoyed everything we ordered! We came from NW Arkansas to visit the area for Halloween and stopped here because we heard the “lobstah” rolls were delish! They didn’t disappoint!! Go grab one! We have the Maine and the Connecticut! Both were delish! Oh-and the fry sauces are a must try!!“

“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!“

“Stopped for an early dinner on a Friday night, and built my own bowl. The salmon and tuna were very fresh and tasty. The toppings were generous and great quality. Portions were generous. Service was friendly and helpful. Very good experience overall. Would definitely come back again.“

“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!“

“Our favorite pizza in Dedham!“

“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.“

“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 “

“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.“

“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 meal felt like a little adventure: sandwiches dripping with flavor like treasure spilling from a chest, fries that crunched like stepping on autumn leaves, and lemonade that sparkled like bottled sunshine. Everything worked together in perfect harmony- playful, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. 10/10, would happily risk sandwich stains again.“

“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 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.

“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.“

“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.“

“This store is about 2 blocks from my office and I find myself over there at least 2 times a week. The offerings themselves, which are varied and excellent, the staff, and the physical environment are all perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch. As an architect, I appreciate the layout of the store, which is congenial and encourages communication with others.“

“The food was delicious and the service was very good. Nice people, nice atmosphere. I do recommend this place.“

“Best chicken bites! Highly recommend ♥️“

“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.“

“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.

“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!“

“Quaint little place that feels authentic and coupled with fantastic service. The owner who works the bakery is very sweet and accommodates your requests. Bakery items are so tasty and you will come back for more. The display of flatbreads are extraordinary as they are lined up for your viewing. A must for breads and tasty treats. The custard filled bombolone is the best (and my favorite).“

“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!!“

“The service was very enthusiastic and kind and friendly. The vegetarian food was great! (Chickpea “egg” salad, warm za’atar pita) I like the atmosphere of the interior, but, pet peeve, chairs scraping against floor drive me nuts and the volume of people talking bouncing around was hard for me.“

“Seven Subs is totally consistent - the subs, wraps and sandwiches are stuffed to perfection and made with quality ingredients. My personal favorite The Turkey Club- ITS ALL GOOD! Mike is also a genuinely wonderful person so we all enjoy supporting his local business! Wishing you the very best!“

“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!“

“Delish food, parking a little difficult“

“Fun cool and comfortable creative“

“awesome burgers 🍔and fries 🍟“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This should be your ONLY spot for food in Terminal B. Fresh, thinly sliced rare roast beef. No nasty looking brown stuff. Soft sesame seed bun, Au Jus, cheese that had already half melted when I lifted the top bun. Damn good and only $13.“

“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 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.“

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

“steak burrito Santa fe chicken salad the best dressing“

“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!!!“

“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“

“Was my frist time coming and when I walk it was surprised cause never thought it would be great place they had nice crowd guy taking orders was very nice and helpful and took his time then u can eat some peanut why you wait awesome.“

“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.“

“Great Pizza.....Gotta love Maria“

“I came to the Waltham 5 Guys on a late Tuesday night around 8 PM with a serious problem. I am a salesman in the area and because of an accident yesterday I was stranded with some of my belongings 15 minutes before I had to meet with a client. After allowing some employees to search my belongings so that they could determine I was telling the truth, they let me temporarily leave my belongings at their establishment. It was the difference between making money and not making money. I cannot thank Lester & Eddie (the gentlemen who did me the favor) of 5 Guys Waltham enough for their compassion, patience and kindness during a busy night, while still fully performing and servicing other paying customers. It is rare to find this basic humanity at corporate franchise settings. With a single act of kindness, Lester & Eddie transformed my night from one of desperation into one of joy. For that, I cannot thank them, and 5 Guys, enough.“
