50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Poolesville

“We showed up at this Subway late last week as they were closing. They had a wonderful employee there named Pravit who pulled everything out of the fridge and made us two large subs. He had an excellent attitude and was very pleasant to work with.“

“Back in 2015 I came to this town for the Halloween attraction that they host and after we stopped at this McDonald’s. All these years later I still think about this McDonald’s, because everything was perfect. We were in and out even though the line was long out towards the street, everyone was friendly and smiling but the best thing, the food was delicious, fresh, crispy. To this day this location had the best chicken nuggets I’ve ever had from a McDonalds and I worked at one at 19. I hope you guys are still doing well. Definitely have to visit again when I’m over by that side of Maryland.“

“Delicious“

“Had an absolutely amazing experience here! The Southwest Salad was incredible, and the grilled chicken sandwich was top-notch. You can't go wrong with their waffle fries either—so delicious. Even tried the chicken noodle soup and it was super comforting and tasty. On top of the great food, the staff was incredibly polite and welcoming, always smiling. 10/10 experience, Chick-fil-A never misses!“

“Can’t wait to return! My husband tried Shah Halal for the first time, ordered the combo platter and really liked. The chicken had the right amount of spiciness, serving was generous and everything was fresh. I have eaten at several locations and my go-tos are the lamb salad and the lamb platter. So tender! I don’t care for spicy foods and the lamb is so flavorful. The staff was super nice, made suggestions, explained their cooking process and exceeded expectations. I learned the basmati rice is cooked in a healthier way in olive oil, different than other locations, and the manager has had professional training as a chef. We will return often to Ashburn as, 35 miles away, it is the closest locale to our home.“

“Lovely family who owned this place 👍🏾 very dedicated to their costumer ❤️ I recommend everyone to try their ice cream and food 🥘“

“Excellent food. Great staff. Very busy restaurant but went line went smoothly. So excited to have a Raising Caine’s in Northern Virginia! Fresh and great tasting.“

“Everyone who works there are very nice and friendly especially their Manager Ms. Andrea.“

“I highly recommend La Poteria in Clarksburg Outlets! The young man by the name of Andres is so helpful. He provided excellent customer service last week when we purchased the delicious empanadas and palitos de queso. We will return. Thank you!“

“The place was very busy tonight, but the staff appeared to work smooth together to get through it! They deserve a raise!!“

“I love Five Guys (I've worked at 3 of them) but the Ashburn VA location usually leaves me somewhat disappointed. In this instance I'm pretty sure there was sugar on the fries, not salt. and when I called to suggest checking the salt shaker, the response was disappointing. 😞“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“So my little boy and I broke down on rt 7 right before closing. Krystal and her staff welcomed us in to sit while we waited on a ride and tow truck as we are hour and half from home. Thanks for being so kind and understanding and taking care of my impatient little man with some ice cream. Krystal you made the whole night better and I thank you from bottom of my heart!“

“I recently catered my event with Falafel Inc., and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, everything was seamless. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Our guests are still talking about the wraps, fries, and all the delicious sauces!

A special thank you to Rony from the catering team. He was absolutely amazing to work with professional, respectful, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. His communication throughout the entire process made planning so much easier, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

The Ashburn location also did a fantastic job making sure every detail was in place for our event. Their attention to detail and outstanding customer service helped make the day stress-free and a huge success.

I highly recommend Falafel Inc. for catering. The food, service, and overall experience exceeded my expectations, and I’ll definitely be using them again!“

“food is delicious and the customer service are the best thank you very much 😍“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Service at the Dulles Chick-fil-A (Sterling) Just wanted to give a big shoutout to Yanci who was working the drive-thru window during my visit today. She handled my last-minute add-ons like a total pro—two large waters and some extra pickles (because you can never have too many pickles). Even with the change-up, Yanci was all smiles, super polite, and just plain delightful. Friendly, fast, and professional with a great attitude—and let’s be honest, that’s rare these days. She’s the kind of person who makes you want to come back just for the service. Thanks again, Yanci! You definitely made my stop a better one. Chick-fil-A, you’ve got a gem on your team.“

“Good food, good location and friendly staff.“

“I came here 15 minutes before close on a Friday, which I felt bad about. There were several employees still working and the hot was still prepared fresh and hot. The employees had a great attitude. Thank you for treating me like any other customer even so close to closing time. Service and food was great.“

“I've been going to Five Guys since the Murells opened Number 1 in South Arlington in the 80's. I was friends with two of the brothers, and my brother was a member of the first crew at that store. This franchise keeps true to the atmosphere and food, and I've been coming here for years. Which ever bakery they are using makes rolls that taste and feel closest to the original Brenners recipe. Oddly, I went last night and the only sodas they had in the dispenser were the Zero types. Strange.“

“you’ve proven once again you have the best customer service around. I was just at your Sugarland Crossing location this morning in Sterling, Virginia, and I picked up a curbside mobile order and upon arriving home, I realized it was missing one part of my order. So I went back and was offered not the exact item that I had ordered for breakfast, but it was a similar item. Your manager offered a cookie or some thing along with that to offer his apologies and really all I wanted was the spicy fillet that I had ordered but he was more than apologetic and was extremely helpful. These are the things that keep me coming back to Chick-fil-A time and time again“

“Great staff and the restaurant is always clean even when they are slammed busy. 10/10“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Great food and great service ! The only thing it doesn’t seem to give out rewards like other stores ? Love this store and visit it frequently!“

“The best eastern style BBQ I’ve ever had.“

“Anyone who’s complaining about the portions of the meat need to know that every Jimmy John’s does around 65 grams of meat for every portion, and this has never decreased since the very start of the franchise.

The food here was very fast; as me and my family were messing with the soda fountain, a worker handed us the entire bag with all of our sandwiches and napkins. I’ve been to a Jimmy John’s in Utah and the quality here was nearly identical which proved how streamlined it is! The only reason atmosphere wasn’t 5 stars is because I personally found the layout slightly confusing, but that’s all! I recommended it to my family and they usually aren’t big fans of subs but they loved their cubano and beach club.

I even ordered a sandwich with a lot of modifications and the worker got it down friskily. Much recommended!“

“Best DQ in the area! Good eats, nice staff, and sweet treats!“

“I accidentally placed my order at the wrong location last night. When I got there, the manager was incredibly kind and understanding. They went above and beyond by making my order at no charge. Thank you for the outstanding customer service and generosity—it truly made my night. Your kindness is greatly appreciated!“

“From the mall directory, I thought the restaurant is on the first floor. Can't find it until I looked at the restaurant info. It's on the second floor. Ordered a bacon cheeses teak with a loaded French fries. The employee was very friendly. The cook also very friendly with a warm smile. The foods were quickly done and packed. Looked appealing.“

“I had a wonderful experience at this Subway location. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the moment I walked in. My sandwich was prepared exactly the way I wanted, with fresh ingredients and great care. The restaurant was clean, organized, and had a pleasant atmosphere. It’s clear that the team works hard to provide excellent customer service. Thank you for making my visit so enjoyable. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this location to my family and friends!“

“We are sending a huge thank you to Jersey Mike’s Subs in Ashburn, VA, and especially their manager, April, and team for their support of Special Olympics on March 25th, the Day of Giving. Tyler B. had the opportunity to serve as the Ashburn, athlete representative, helping at the store, and greeting and thanking customers who stopped in for their support of Special Olympics. The atmosphere, food, and people were amazing - we are incredibly grateful for this opportunity and your support, and we love the gluten-free rolls!“

“We went for the Tuesday 2 pm - close special where you buy a bowl or burrito and large drink and get a burrito free. We tried the citrus lime shrimp. It was so tasty and generous! I love all the fresh, flavorful choices you can add--especially that guac and sour cream are included in the price.“

“The staff here are really nice and friendly — great service, no complaints there.
Tried the new Cantonese BBQ Brisket and unfortunately it was overcooked — came out charred and a bit dry instead of slow-cooked and tender. Everything else was solid though.
Would come back, just hope they get the brisket right next time.“

“I work in the area & this is my go-to lunch spot! Wendy & Patty are AMAZING! Very personable. I come here just to see my favorite ladies. You guys are so appreciated! Best Subway by far! I live in Winchester and never get Subway where I live because it’s not the same as when I visit Wendy and Patty, very thankful for them!“

“This is the only Subway in Sterling my family will get sandwiches. We always have a large order, they are always patient while my children choose what they want. The staff is always happy to see us. They are fast, efficient and always work with a smile. Make sure to tip your sandwich creator well, they work hard for you, and as we all know, a sandwich is always better when someone else makes it.“

“Nice Staffs, speed of service were great. AFFORDABLEprices. LOVE the cleanliness of the restaurant.“

“I had an amazing experience at this place. From the moment I walked in, everything felt clean, organized, and very well taken care of. You can tell they truly care about providing a great service and keeping a comfortable environment for everyone. The space is very pleasant, perfect for enjoying your time without any worries.

What impressed me the most was the people. You could clearly see the effort and dedication they put into their work. There was a young kid and his dad (I think) working together, and honestly that left a great impression on me. You could feel the respect, teamwork, and commitment they had. That kind of energy is rare and makes the place feel more genuine and special.

The service was excellent—very attentive, friendly, and always with a positive attitude. They don’t just do their job; they do it with pride, and as a customer, you can really feel that. Everything was in excellent condition, clean, organized, and running perfectly.

This is definitely one of those places you recommend without thinking twice. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and most importantly, amazing people behind it all. They truly earned my respect, and I will definitely be coming back. 💯🔥“

“I came into this location and was warmly welcomed by Ms. Janay. She was kind, friendly, and made my sandwich with so much care. I also enjoyed seeing Evan jump in to help her while providing great customer service to others. It was wonderful to witness such teamwork and a positive experience!“

“I ordered delivery for myself and my kiddo's dinner tonight and my sandwich was incorrect (everything else was fine). I filled out the customer survey on the receipt and within MINUTES I got an email about a full refund! I would have been happy with maybe just a free sandwich coupon, but you all went above and beyond to make it right. Thank you!“

“Some times they take a bit, but the sonic Smasher burger is made to order.... and it's so good!! I got a bacon cheeseburger Smasher and so juicy and delicious.
Also they can make a diet, cherry coke that's delicious! Tots are usually good as well“

“Thaddieus and Mustafa Took care of me and my coworkers. Food was fresh off the grill and they showed exceptional customer service As well as hospitality I do appreciate both of them. They were running the show and was it the best show I’ve ever experienced at Jersey Mike’s, yes it was.“

“I exceptionally recommend this restaurant! This restaurant had clean facilities, friendly staff and customers, delicious and hot food, and relaxing atmosphere!

Mr. Jorge is Arby's world-class ambassador! He welcomes his guests and his photographic memory to remember every customer's name lends Arby's personal touch to world-class hospitality! He makes you feel welcomed and appreciated! You feel you matter!“

“My first visit to a Potbelly... it was simply awesome! Tried the Wreck, added bacon & avocado �����!!!“

“Thank you to your employees today and your GEn Manager for making me a keto friendly and gluten free sandwich option... I asked for a pickelwich...and they delivered! It was delicious!!!!!“

“I recently had an outstanding experience at the Taco Bell/KFC combination restaurant, and I can't wait to share how satisfied I was with my visit! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and attentive, ensuring a smooth and pleasant ordering process. Their friendly demeanor set the tone for what turned out to be a fantastic dining experience.

I ordered two Cravings Boxes, making specific requests to accommodate my dietary restrictions—I can't have beef or pork. The team was incredibly receptive to my needs, seamlessly replacing all the beef with chicken without any hesitation. This thoughtful attention to detail made me feel valued as a customer and showcased their commitment to excellent service.

The food itself was absolutely delicious. The chicken substitutions were perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful. Every bite was a delightful combination of classic Taco Bell flavors combined with the savory goodness of KFC's renowned chicken. The variety of sauces I got elevated the taste experience even more. Each sauce added a unique kick, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the meal.

To complement my meal, I ordered a Diet Mountain Dew Baja Blast and the Mountain Dew Electric Blast—the vibrant yellow one. Both drinks were refreshing and provided the perfect balance to the rich and savory food. The crisp, fizzy flavors were just what I needed to round out my meal.

Overall, this visit was nothing short of exceptional. The staff's accommodating nature, the delicious food, and the refreshing beverages all contributed to a five-star experience. I highly recommend this Taco Bell/KFC location to anyone looking for great food, fantastic service, and a reliable spot that truly cares about its customers' needs.“

“One employee named Hobel gives excellent customer service w/a pleasant attitude! I just got a turkey sandwich I generally try to eat healthy for the most part. I was shockingly surprised they carry fresh coffee and it taste very good not bitter and better then starbucks drip coffee!“

“The chicken here tastes better than at other locations. To me, it’s obvious at a glance that the store is well-managed. The inside is always clean, and the staff work quickly and courteously. You can tell the whole team works well together.“

“Well Mom wanted a blueberry salad for her 80th birthday so we got that and they were kind enough to give her a chocolate shake and a sugar cookie. Thank you so much! Thanks Miss Taylor!“

“A very good place to go to get a custom made sandwich. Employees are very helpful and provide an excellent service in constructing your sub based upon your personal choices. They have a big variety of bread selections, veggies, meats and condiments for your hot or cold sandwich. Best of all, the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies are delicious. Sometimes the line to order may seem long during lunch but they quickly move people through so waiting is not a problem.“

“Most pizza hit branches quality differs day to day. This one I have been here a few times and same menu item quality remains the same and good. Example cheese sticks and pan pizza , flavor, crust golden, cheese amount, taste always the same so this my new favorite branch at Algonkian parkway Sterling!

Parking: Next to gas station so maybe park at a open gas space or seven eleven parking have to be used“

“The 3 guys working tonight 07/31/26 ( one at the register, sweeping the lobby and the other chef who made my absolutely delicious patty melt) thank you so much! Excellent service and excellent food! I came in about 15 mins before closing and they took great care of me. Very kind, very nice and welcoming. Thank you so much give them a raise 🙏🏽😇.“
