50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Morningside

“Absolutely loved this place. My friend and I were driving by and decided to stop for a quick bite. The seafood was out of this world for the price I got it at. Especially the oysters. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and a menu that makes you want to come back and try something new. Highly recommend!“

“Had a taste for chicken wings. It was good and crispy. The teller was nice but he was so into his phone that he was sitting behind the counter on the phone. I couldn't see him and he couldn't see the people come in. The other worker told him we were waiting and that's when we saw he was right there and when he came in view he had to get off the phone. It was decent but could be cleaned better or a face lift“

“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!!“

“Chicken and Mac was 🔥 🔥 🔥“

“Great food and very clean place“

“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!“

“Great quality and quantity for the price. You can get a chicken shawarma bowl with delicious saffron rice for $10 with 6 toppings, choice of meat, and 2 sauces and they are generous with all.

My only complaints were that I thought the beef shawarma was a little chewy and there were no water cups.“

“we LOVE Chick-fil-A anywhere, but this new on in DC is Amaaaaaaazing!!! Clean and neat! The staff is SO friendly! The owner is awesome and helps the community.“

“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.“

“I would have to give AC Catering a 5-star rating! The Food was delicious with such variety of choices, and the Service was impeccable! Both George and Michelle were extremely helpful and generous with their time and efforts. Total professionals! This summer, we hired them to cater our children's graduation party as well as our Priests' farewell party at our Chapel. Our guests raved about how delicious the food tasted. We will use them again and would recommend AC Catering to all our friends and family members. A class act!“

“Excellent chicken sandwich on a great bun that was not from a package. Super-fresh onion rings and fries. Fast service. The place looks run-down, with worn-out chairs and a bare minimum table, but it was a good place for lunch after visiting the National Building Museum. I would go back for the food, not the decor.“

“I placed a large order for my daughter’s high school volleyball team and needed to make several last minute modifications on the day the order was to be picked up. I called in and spoke with Lucky and the manager Olman. They both were extremely professional, pleasant, and assured me that the order would be filled correctly. They walked me through the process of changing the order and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was correct and my questions were answered. From start to finish the experience was 10 out of 10 - from ordering online, to making order modifications, to picking up the order (shout out to Alec for helping take orders to the car) - I couldn’t believe how smoothly everything went. And best of all the girls were happy with their meals! I can’t say enough how fantastic this experience was and how grateful I am to Olman and team for coming through for us. We will certainly be back!“

“Menu that they mail to people is very confusing because you call an the menu says delivery but when you call they do not delivery.

Please make the menu for clear so people know that it's DoorDash that they have to use not your own delivery team so make more clear.

The French Fries enough It's more then I can handle but nice and warm did not need to warm the food up.“

“Really good hamburgers and cheese Burger 🍔 every single time! Pleasant friendly staff, excellent service! Favorite place for lunch by Work!“

“The employees at this place are top notch, I was served super fast and they also had my back when some weirdo in line started video recording me. I had no clue who that weird man was but to the employees who alerted me and told me he was recording me then also told him to leave, I thank you very much for all that you did to help in that situation.“

“Me and my group of friends always come here to eat whenever we hangout.This spot is always our top go to place to go whenever we’re hungry and bored.The sushi here is amazing, especially the chicken teryaki rolls.The workers are so nice to us , and the place is overall amazing.However , I don’t really recommend online ordering.Sometimes the sushi will get smushed, it’s better to just order in person.But this place is honestly the best im genuinely impressed , the place is so quiet and calm whenever you enter its a great place to just chill.Me and my friends love it here!“

“The burger was great and it was empty so wait time was short but, they don’t give you the extra fries you’re used to. Ain’t no way I paid $6 for a little fry and they picked up some fries (one by one) with their hand and put it in the tray to dump into my bag. I watched them cause a lady just came back and complained. They said they put the fries I knew they was lying. It’s cool tho I just won’t be coming back I knew I should’ve got chipotle ?“

“Lately, the service was a bit lacking. I ordered the 2 for 1 fish sandwiches and the bag came up short. I went back to get my order fixed, they made me a fresh order. Got home, the bag was light again. SMDH! COME ON!“

“As soon as I finished ordering my food, my phone died and I didn’t have any other way to pay. The entire staff went above and b gone to help me! They charged my phone for me and while they were doing that, they cooked my food and gave it to me to eat while I waited for my phone to charge. Thank you all for you astounding customer service, it is greatly appreciated-Paola, Cynthia, Jazmin and Aviel.“

“I came in for a burger and fries. I was asked if I liked seafood, and if I wanted to sample a shrimp crab cake slider. It was delicious . All the food was seasoned well, and a good portion. The atmosphere was good, the music was top tier, service was friendly. I would recommend and will definitely visit again. Thank you 😊😊“

“this is the best carryout chicken and the shrimp are great as well.“

“Honestly was VERY happy I tried this place I’m not from the area but this place did not disappoint I was going to go to McDonald’s but I saw this place was right across the street so I gave it a try and it was great, I was welcomed at the door by a nice Indian man with a smile behind the register and who was happy to help me bc I have never been there he explained what was on the burgers and how they were made from SCRATCH, even though I only got 2 cheese burgers it costed me 17.18 but for how good they tasted I was very very happy with that price compared to going across the street to McDonald’s and getting mediocre hamburgers, the hamburgers that I got from here were juicy and the toppings tasted and looked great on the burger and overall I was very very happy I stopped in today and if I ever come back to this area I hope to stop in again, if y’all do manage to read this today I was the guy in the brown work jacket.

Parking: There is not many spots but I was able to get in and out just fine.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a concrete ramp built in to the door it’s small but I think as long as someone held the door for you ya could get in.“

“I liked the location of this Mod’s Pizza in a nice walkable plaza. The restaurant itself had a beautiful classic western architectural style, the atmosphere, as well as the food was pleasant. I look to come back here again next time I’m in Maryland! 😊“

“Excelent hamburger and different options of foods“

“My first time trying this legendary favorite. The chicken was fresh. French fries hot. And I'm actually a fan of the Cole slaw. They have an outdoor seating option so you can bring your dog! Not to expensive at all. The serving sizes are pretty good as well. It's definitely worth the try.“

“The manager John at this location is a 10/10. We can’t thank him enough for his kindness and for making us feel how we did. His entire team was warm, polite and made us feel welcome- especially Michael who first took our order. He even made me a special coffee for my long trip post meal. The whole team Pitched in to help us find our son’s missing stuffed animal and while we didn’t find it, the effort put in was tremendous. We are unsure if someone in the community picked up a small stuffed black cat at this location but we are offering a reward if anyone did and can mail it to us. My 2.5 year old son adores this stuffed animal and is so sad it’s missing. The store has our information/you can message me here if you have any information. Thank you to anyone and everyone in advance and especially the team at Chick-fil-A for making a difference in our day.“

“We ate in J&J when staying I the area. The food was fantastic. Service was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.“

“Stopped on way to airport! Delicious and staff was very friendly and accommodating!♥️♥️Smacking my lips on the way home in Gastonia NC.“

“This location has great service and a very friendly and helpful staff. It's five guys so by now you know what to expect regarding the taste and recipe. Over priced burgers and everything ala carte. At least you always get a lot of fries. If you like five guys this is a good one as far as the staff goes. It's well ran and very clean.“

“This review is for Daria(? Red hair) working at 12am Dec28th. I've been in f&b my entire life and that was the best drive through order service I have ever received. If I still managed a restaurant I would have offered her a job and came back to convince her if she declined. I wish I could remember her name but it definitely started with a D. Great job!!!“

“I am sure Korean food is the best when tasted in Korea. That's why I'm not a big fan of Korean restaurants abroad. However this one, Rice Bar in DC satisfied me for real. 다만 제 느낌에 1회용 숫가락이 좀더 크면 좋겠고 젓가락에 일본어 적힌 점이 아쉽.. 그래도 또 들리고 싶네요.“
