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!“

“Heard about this burger joint...AND I wasn't disappointed, in fact it will probably take me a few months to eat my way through their eclectic menu and no doubt I'll enjoy the ride. Burger was excellent, but the caveat was the cole slaw, NOT your store bought or KFC, this was truly a chef Michelin rated green/purple slaw with an incredible dressing. To top it off, you have to eat the fries.... I didn't ask, but they seemed to be riced then fried...5*****“

“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!“

“I came by earlier today. I ordered 3 bowls. One for my friend and 2 for me and my husband. I was greeted by Ly. She was very polite and took my order and was very efficient. We started chatting about my newborn baby, overall very good experience and food was delicious.“

“Whats in that seasoning you guys put on the fries.. its really great. I'd love to see these guys do well and grow into something much larger.. very friendly guys, the vibe of the place is great. I got 2 sliders with fries and I topped it with honey.. Definitely one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've had.

Good luck gents, hope you guys do very well in the near future“

“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!“

“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 “

“Our favorite pizza in Dedham!“

“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.“

“This is my first experience of Chic-fil-a so I was expecting a fast food place.
Here I was welcomed with a smile from Delilah. The service was excellent, the place is really clean .
The food was tasty and hot.
In summery my experience in the USA has been fast food is a sacrifice. Not here, it’s fast food done well.“

“Great oven--fired pizza! Delicious thin crust.
The veggie Pizza had very fresh veggies with a good amount of fresh arugula scattered on top. Roasted garlic too! A sausage and mushroom pizza was also very good and filling. Wish there were some type of Dixie plates to put our individual slices“

“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.“

“If was awesome 🤩 we love it 🥰“

“The food was great, the chicken is fried well, the fries very soft and nice and the bread/toast was perfect. The sauce has a very interesting taste but overall very good. As an English person I really enjoyed it!! Very filling as well.😋😋“

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

“Had Amelia Cluck & Smash near Northeastern last week and I can confidently say I’ve entered my chicken sandwich era.

The Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich was easily the star of the meal. Perfectly crispy, juicy, and balanced with that sweet-and-spicy combo that just works. Honestly, no complaints there — a true 10/10 sandwich.

We also tried the smash burger, tacos, and churros. Everything was solid, satisfying, and exactly what you want from a quick comfort-food stop. Nothing overly fancy, but definitely hits the craving.

This spot really shines for what it is: a classic grab-and-go place. Quick, convenient, and great when you want something indulgent without committing to a full sit-down experience.

Overall food score: 7/10
Amazing chicken sandwich, good across the board, but very much a casual, quick-bite kind of place.

Safe to say chicken sandwiches might need to become a weekly ritual now.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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).“

“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 very good. The service was great and quick.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delish food, parking a little difficult“

“awesome burgers 🍔and fries 🍟“

“Fun cool and comfortable creative“

“The food was fresh and delicious. They had an excellent vegan choice menu. They also had good meat dishes. My partner had an amazing goat curry. I had a Bindi masala. The service was friendly and prompt. It was a snowy evening, so it was not very busy.“

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

“I’ve been to plenty of Subways, but this one in Roslindale is hands down the best. All Subways are not created equal—and this location proves it.

Shoutout to Jay. One New Year’s Eve, I dropped $40 in the store. He found it, held onto it, and waited for me to come back so he could return it. That kind of honesty is rare and says everything about the people who run this place.

The staff is always friendly, respectful, and on point. You can genuinely feel the difference when you walk in. Great service, good energy, and people who actually care.

Can’t say enough good things about this Subway. Roslindale does it right.“

“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!“

“Amazing pizza and staff always coming back“

“I can’t say enough about how delicious and incredible Garlic & Lemons is. If you’ve never been, it’s an absolute must. And if you somehow don’t love it, I’ll pay for your meal myself. My wife and I have hosted Christmas dinner parties and even had them cater for us every single guest was blown away.

No matter what you order, the food is authentic, flavorful, and unforgettable, and their customer service is truly top-tier. They’re organized, easy to work with, and consistently deliver exceptional quality. Honestly, if I had known about this place when I got married, they would’ve catered my entire wedding.

Do yourself a favor and check them out in Allston. You’re Welcome!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I had the Cantina Chicken Burrito at the Taco Bell on 85 First St in Cambridge, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were fresh and well-balanced, with tender chicken, creamy avocado ranch, and a nice kick of spice. The burrito was perfectly wrapped and satisfying without being too heavy. Great service and a clean, welcoming spot—I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“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! 😊“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food is amazing. But what I admired the most was the young man working at the register. When there were no customers to assist, he cleaned the tables, cleared the plates, and kept everything organized. I was very satisfied with the service. Unfortunately, I don’t know his name, but he deserves recognition for his excellent work.“

“steak burrito Santa fe chicken salad the best dressing“

“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.“

“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.“
