50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Forest Heights

“Don usually eat out but this sore was great. Very courteous ,food in record time.“

“The service was outstanding! The food was fresh abs hot !! Great place“

“Great food and very clean place“

“We were visiting from out of town and what a great choice to go to Primo Hogies!! The whole staff was incredible!! Food was great! If anyone is on the fence about what they want to eat, this is the place to go! Thank you guys!! Looking forward to coming back!!“

“If you're craving bold flavors, crispy fries, and burgers that pack a punch, Checkers is the spot! Every visit feels like a win, especially when you're handed a hot, juicy burger and a box of their perfectly seasoned fries—honestly, some of the best in the fast-food game.

The Big Buford is my go-to: loaded with flavor, stacked high, and always fresh. The fry-seasoned chicken tenders are another underrated gem. And don’t sleep on the milkshakes—thick, creamy, and exactly what you want to finish off the meal.

Service has always been quick and friendly, even during busy times. The drive-thru is efficient, and the food is consistently hot and made to order. I appreciate how Checkers stays true to what it does best: bold, no-nonsense fast food that never disappoints.

If you're hungry and want something fast, flavorful, and filling—Checkers delivers every time. Five stars, easily!“

“We went to the Mono (Georgetown) location and our burgers were excellent. The staff was friendly and the space was clean. There was outdoor seating enjoyed by many, but we chose to sit indoors and people-watch in the charming, bustling area on a Sunday afternoon. Great experience as out-of-towners!“

“Food was great - both chicken rice bowl and chicken nuggets. They also have great sauces - so many varieties. But most of all the service and caring from the staff is really above and beyond. I came in to get a snack with my kids and ordered a chicken bowl, and the guy gave us chicken nuggets to go with just for them. So so sweet and kind. Will always get my business 💖💖“

“This place is all about burgers, but I usually seem to come here during happy hour, which goes a little longer than most places (until 7, I believe). Nice outdoor space with good people-watching on 18th Street in Adams Morgan.

Happy hour has good drink deals and a few smaller versions of regular menu items, if I remember correctly. The mumbo nugs absolutely "slap" as the kids say. Think they're cooked in a sweet Thai chili sauce and come with mint leaves and cilantro and crushed peanuts. For someone who's spent a lot of time in SE Asia and whose favorite cuisine is Thai, I absolutely love these.

Fries are big ol' steak/diner fries and come with a delicious vinegar cream kinda sauce.

Last night I got a burger for only the second or third time and maybe I was especially hungry and/or the perfect amount of buzzed, or just happy to find a place still serving food at 10:00 on Thanksgiving weekend, but it was quite simply one of the best burgers I've ever had. I asked them to surprise me with their best chicken burger and they served up a "mumbo bun." It's the best burger I've had in DC for sure. I've heard a few people grumble about having to pay extra for fries, but the burgers are absolutely huge and have so much going on with them flavor-wise that I was glad I didn't order fries and could barely finish the burger on its own.

I've lived in the neighborhood for a few years now and overlooked this place until recently. Now it's one of my go-to spots. Nice people working there, friendly service, and they knock the food out of the park.

Parking: Might be tough to find parking right on 18th Street, but go up the side street (the restaurant's on a corner but can't remember what the intersecting street is) and you can probably find free street parking.“

“One of the best chicken sandwich places in DMV. Every single person I’ve introduced to the sandwich was blown away. Today, the owner’s son was working the counter and when i told him that his pops makes the best chicken sandwich in nova he had such a proud look on his face. Super wholesome family, fantastic chicken sandwich, give them a shot!!

Note: The photo i shared was a medium “chicken sando” with extra coleslaw and pickles.“

“Enjoyed coming here with my family. The young woman at the counter was so friendly. I told her I was hard of hearing and she was so patient with me. The young woman's name is Unique. She really cares. The food was good but the customer service was excellent. This was our first time in the DC area. We will definitely come back here on out next trip here.“

“Great service, clean, and delicious! Definitely a great treat!“

“I am very particular about my Mediterranean food and Miza did not disappoint. Chicken shawarma bowl with the garlic aioli was crazy and it’s a lot of bang for your buck. The customer service was also excellent. 10s across the board for me.“

“There was only ONE person working in that booth-style-kiosk, today. She was taking orders, fixing foods and taking money.

While she did her job, there was a lingering question on cleanliness, food safety, and ONLY ONE PERSON having to keep the whole booth/kiosk/fast-food joint, running.

FIX THAT !!“

“good boneless chicken wings, tasty sauces and flavors for the wings“

“I'm very allergic to pork and beef so I asked for a BLT with no bacon. The manager was so kind and offered to make me a veggie sandwich that included amazing grilled onions and mushrooms. My husband was very happy with his burger. The fries were great! Highly recommend visiting. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Kind acts that made a big difference in my nutrition needs during our travels. Will visit again next trip.“

“My husband, son and myself ran into a little bad luck and had our truck breakdown by the Brandywine Chick-fil-A. Situation could not be worse due to us being so far from home and having a camper attached to us. We had to unhook the camper and take the truck to a local mechanic shop and just wait. That’s when the GM Mr. Alan saw us sitting in the heat and stopped by to check on us. He listened to our story and with a little push he convinced us to come to his store and eat some lunch. We were afraid to leave the camper due to someone possibly stealing it and he even insisted on parking his vehicle in front so no one would be able to get to it. My husband was the stubborn one and still insisted on staying with the camper but he made my son and I go and sit in the A/C. He then treated us to lunch which was completely not necessary but a blessing at the same time. I am not sure when I will be in the area again but I know if I ever am again. This location will certainly get our business. The entire staff was so sweet and helpful! Thank you so much for the hospitality!!!“

“I had been to this food court before & felt like everything was way overpriced & not worth it until this time. Bread & Butter had breakfast all day & my mom & I had a homemade breakfast prepared quickly & at a great value!“

“Fresh hot and made to order burgers! Tasty every time!!!“

“Is a great place good food I recommended. Is really good“

“Bottom line up front: best cheesesteak I've had in Virginia

Having grown up outside Philly, I was really jonesing for a taste of the city that invented America this 4th of July. Philadelphia Cheesesteak Factory did not disappoint. Not only was the cheesesteak delicious, the price was exactly what I would have expected back home. Service was incredibly fast. And it's a small spot with just a few seats at the counter, like so many places up north. It felt like I walked through the door and teleported 200 miles away.

If you want a taste of Philly in the DC area, I can't recommend them enough.

Oh, and if you want lettuce, onions, and tomato, they call it a "cheesesteak hoagie", just like the good Lord intended. No notes.“

“I would love to jion them again“

“Friendly peoples with the best Mexican burritos in downtown DC.“

“Chicken and Mac was 🔥 🔥 🔥“

“Found this spot on google by searching “burgers near me” and it did not disappoint! I ordered the classic burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was juicy and delicious! It was the best burger I’ve had in awhile. Five guys who? Additionally, the customer service was on point as well. I will definitely be returning!“
