40 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Saint Paul

“I got the triple berry crepe with dark chocolate sauce and it was delish!! The star of the plate was the unassuming whipped cream. I’ve never had whipped cream like it before and it’s honestly the best I’ve ever tasted so don’t skimp on it. I also tried one of the croffels and was blown away by the many layers familiar to croissants made crispy by being cooked in a waffle iron. I can’t say enough about the flavors and textures experienced at Paris Crepes & Boba Tea. The cherry on the top is the speedy and friendly service. This place is a must try if you enjoy crepes and croissants. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“good food great prices amazing employees“

“The food was amazing! It was our first time and we loved it. The service needs a lot of work. There was a line but it moved fast and we were quick to place our order. It took 40 minutes to receive the food after ordering. Everyone else was receiving their food after a reasonable wait time except me and the couple that ordered right after us. I had to ask at the 30 min mark and then finally received it at 40 min. We ordered to eat in but received it all in a take out bag. We ordered a #1 (received a #1 but charged a #2 on the receipt) a #3 ( but only received 1 slider, tender was missing) and a #4 (but received and extra slider). We made it work since we got the total # of chickens that we asked for and could not wait any longer for them to correct it. The dining room is a mess! We were there for well over an hour and not once did anyone come out to wipe down tables as diners were leaving. Everyone that came in had to sit at a dirty table if they wanted to dine in. An employee, in uniform, was eating at the far back right corner table during dinner rush ( Friday night 5:30). When the employee finished they also did not wipe down the table and left it dirty for the next diner. The overall service is unimpressive for a location that just recently opened (Cicero, NY). We will go back because the food was fabulous but we will not be dining in and will definitely check our order before leaving.“

“You guys Rock... in every way!!! 💖 👍“

“Crazy how I underestimated Jersey Mike’s! I went for the first time recently, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. I ordered a tuna salad sandwich, and the fact that they make their tuna in‑house was a huge bonus. The staff member even recommended the best bread for it and kindly explained that they don’t use a toaster. They answered all my questions with patience.

When I took the first bite, it genuinely surprised me — it was so delicious. The celery added the perfect crunch. If you love tuna, you need to try it.

I’ll definitely be coming back. So happy to have this spot in the Frogtown community. Such a bright place ❤️✨🙏“

“Went to this location tonight and saw some incredible training in action. The new recruits were very friendly, obviously taught to them buy the managers on duty. My faith in humanity was also restored when I saw them bring a meal to a gentleman outside the restaurant that was clearly in need. They invited the man in as he appreciatively devoured the meal. I recommend this Arby's in particular based off these actions alone. I apologize that I didn't get the names of the staff.“

“Delicious burritos and chips. the Pico is great as well.“

“I ordered through doordash and texted my driver asking if he could make sure the condiments I requested were in the bag, I also asked if he could grab some sauces not available to order on the doordash app for me but he didn't reply. So I called the store nervously and spoke to a gentleman, explaining my situation and he assured me I did the right thing by calling 😍 he was so kind and courteous, making sure I got the sauces I wanted. I was pleasantly surprised that he wasn't bothered by my call lol
What a sweetheart!! Thank you!“

“We got diverted to MN and after being up since 2am, with no real food for 16 hours we were starving. We ordered the club sandwich with fries and wow! I realize we were hungry but honestly I'd order that again any day. It had a ton of ham and turkey. The bread was perfectly toasted. Perfect amount of mayo. Fresh leafy lettuce, not the spine. And the BACON was the star...amazing taste and mostly perfectly cooked and both chewy and crisp. Fries regular crinkles but hot and crispy and not hard. Robert and Yemata were great! I wish I had thought to take a before pic....but here's the after. Nom nom nom. Give them a try! We also saw the burger and it looked huge.“

“Valentines Day, reservations required. This was so fun!! We choose to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary, which so happens to also be Valentine's Day, at White Castle. The restaurant was decorated with hearts, balloons, decorated tables even included a candle. It was adorable 😍 We were warmly greeted at the door by staff. We were then seated at a cute table. All the staff were dressed in red and hearts. Smiles galore. We were offered a special printed Valentines menu. We enjoyed the table service, such a nice touch. When I made the original reservation, I included the comment that we were celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary. To our surprise the staff went out of their way to treat us to a bottle of sparkling juice served in champagne glasses. What a lovely touch!!! They really made our dinner extra special. We dined on cheese sliders, onion chips, shrimp nibbles, fish nibbles and chocolate shakes. Everything was fresh hot and perfectly cooked. Yummy !!!
Big thank you to the staff that made our 1st wedding celebration one to remember ❤️ Was a fun Valentines Date!!!“

“Food was Hot and tasty Service very pleasant staff Only thing we did not Know or Hear Coffee was self serve and Cup was set by the coffee pot not given to us Do My Husband finished his meal and I asked where is your coffee they never put it on the tray....... NEXT time we will know“

“Read abt the great review. came and tried it Good as review. classic juicy beef patties and soft bun. Should try at least once.“

“Good service and food. We were there right before closing. Great job“

“Today 4-20-2025 I went to this location two young girls were working around 1:30 pm and I order a small Oreo Blizzard but was charged for a Medium size instead. I come here for weeks now and I know how much for the small and it’s 4.69. and not 5.15. Any ways update: 4-22-2025 around 2pm went to this location and told them about this small incident and younger lady cashier she apologized and So I bought a medium sized Oreo blizzard and got a upgraded to large to balanced it off. Thx ladies! That’s what I called taking care of your customers! I will be back again and again! Now it’s 5 stars not 1 star lols“

“The customer service here is nicer than chick fil a and that’s a tough one to beat ! 💪🏽“

“Great Staff good location“

“There is a shelf near the ordering counter that I’m guessing was built for online order pick ups. People tend to take bags that aren’t there’s so it makes sense this store has stopped using it, but it would be extremely helpful to put up a sign above the shelf that says you need to check in at the counter for pick up orders. I’ve never been to this store so I didn’t know I had to, I waited an extremely long time waiting for my order to be placed on the shelf before I overheard someone else walk right up and get their order right away.“

“Excellent customer service, me & my husband will be back! Great sandwhich & soups!!“

“Very good food. good costume service“

“Mary is an amazing employee! I hope she is compensated for how wonderful she is. She went above and beyond to make our airport fast food experience much better than expected. I’ve never had a waitress at McDonalds but she was so helpful and kind. Especially working during the holidays!“

“Got great service here tonight! 7/7/16 aprox 10 pm. The young ladies were extremely pleasant and sincere. Had to wait for fresh food which is A-okay by me!“

“I ordered the beef ribs and pork ribs with their 5 cheese baked Mac and cheese and it was absolutely delicious!!! The pork ribs were a bit salty but if you eat it with the BBQ sauce they provide it's amazing I got them with the side Mac and the Mac was soooo good! You can tell there are 5 different cheeses and it wasn't dry! The pork ribs came with about 4 ribs and a few ends. The beef ribs are pretty big and came with 2 and an extra end. Next time I order I will definitely be getting just the beef ribs in my opinion they were better they had a bit of spice to them and weren't too salty! Baked Mac and cheese 9/10 just wish it came with a little more. Pork ribs 6/10 they were too salty but decent. Beef ribs 9/10 perfectly seasoned just wanted a little more moisture.“

“Fridays I usually get a deluxe combo, a woman named Veronica always takes my order and she somehow makes sure I feel valued and appreciated. She also always have a positive attitude and creates a calm vibing atmosphere, she deserves a raise for how much hard work she has put through to ensure customers get there orders right!!🤑🤑“

“friendly staff , quick @ lunch Portabello grilled w/ veggies , I enjoyed ! Going back .“

“I haven't had Taco John's in years. I used to live in the Midwest, but I moved to Texas, where they don't have them. I just moved back to Minnesota last month. I must say they have not changed, and that is both a good thing in my opinion.

Taco John's isn't expensive or high quality, but they are good. They hit a nostalgia button for me that takes me right back to the 90s, just delicious, cheap, salty food.

The best thing is the Potato Olés, these are the star of the restaurant and would have them over McDonald's fries any day of the week, and twice on Christmas.“

“This is one of my favorite sandwich chains. Before I had food sensitivities, I used to love getting the 1/2 sandwich and soup cup combo with chicken and dumplings soup or cream of chicken wild rice soup. I can no longer have wheat, so I like that they have a pretty good GF bread here. This store location has very limited hours, and I felt the food was quite overpriced ($16 for sub, chips, drink combo with a mediocre tasting sub), but I was pleased with good customer service as the worker agreed to serve me 2 min before close and was quite quick making my sandwich (very simple order at least.) I enjoyed the outdoor table.“

“I actually like this Taco Bell because it’s consistently average — and I mean that in a good way 🙂🌮 There aren’t any big problems or disappointments, but it’s not doing anything wildly amazing either. It’s just reliable, simple, and exactly what you expect every time 👍✨

If you’re not sure what to order, I’d recommend the number 8 with three Doritos Locos Tacos — it’s a solid choice and pretty satisfying 😋🔥 The flavor is always on point. And honestly, the cheesy roll-ups are one of the best deals on the menu 🧀💛 They’re simple, tasty, and great for the price.

Overall, it’s a dependable spot when you’re craving something quick and familiar.“

“Love ❤️ ‘em! Been eating ‘em for years! Buy ‘em by the sack!“

“Rough tasting food, burrito Shell hard, then nice enough to remake it but this time the beans were stuffed and didn’t taste great, in fact icky. I go here enough to one that is not the norm.

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegan offers

Parking: Construction happening, parking always tough

Kid-friendliness: Not much to do

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes eat access“

“Sent my husband to get some greens for me, they didn't have any so I got the cabbage, the next day they didn't either and the sweetheart who runs the place felt bad, I would call but she's so busy, but it's ok that she was out, the cabbage was fire, and I'll come back repeatedly. The corn bread was also really good. Gotta support mom and pops businesses, especially when the food is so good“

“Shrimp great, NO dipping sauce Fries great, NO ketchup Butter in sack, NO Roll Slaw great, NO fork“

“Without another chance to try a Wendy's for the foreseeable future and having not been to one in years, I went for the breakfast burrito.

It's on the smaller size for the price (I think it was $5). The taste is ok, but it would have been better with tater tots instead of the fries/wedges it had in it.

The service is good, the guy was friendly and learned my name quickly.“

“Love the chicken sandwiches & fruit options“

“UPDATE: they finally removed the AI robot ordering system and the line moves much faster. Appreciate them finally listening to customers! Updated to 5 stars from 1 star.

ORIGINAL: Drive thru is ALWAYS backed up because they use an AI ROBOT to take orders. It’s extremely inefficient because it can’t even understand simple things like “add a side of nacho sauce.” Just ASK to be connected to a team member and you’ll be able to complete your order in a quarter of the time that the robot will take. It also asks so many unnecessary questions like donations, adding extra items, etc. I absolutely hate this ordering system.“

“Best Taco Bell I’ve been to for a long time, the crunch wraps was perfect. I was so full 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰great customer service
Food was delicious and prepared fast🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“I got a small meal on a cold, slow Sunday night. The drive-thru has that ai speaker, which I normally dislike, but this one was working very well, and had its thoughts displayed on a screen. Very helpful. With it being slow, my food was cooked fresh. The guy at the window was very friendly. Plus, it's open 24 hours! It's easy enter- enter on Rice Street.“

“Food was okay (not a big sandwich person) Nick helped me okay and he was great! I am from Iowa and he helped me navigate around and figure out where I needed to go! �“

“I have always had good sandwiches @ Sun Ray JJ's... but today's mighta been the best one yet! Kudos to the awesome guys @ JJ's this morning. My Bootlegger #14 sandwich was freaky fast and so good, totally hit the spot! ++ Nice to see people at work and enjoying each other's company. Everyone was so happy! Thank you!“

“The individual working here are hard working and take on so much since they are under staffed. I went in today inside to order and one gentleman was running both the counter and drive through. Another was filling orders while I believe two people worked making our food with care. *** THEY WORKED HARD. THEY HUSTLED AND DELIVERED. *** Yes sometimes we all make mistakes Let's be patient and if you don't have time to wait don't go through ANY drive-through and turn your stress onto another individual without understanding there situation. If you only have 10 mins to spare that's on you. I applaud 👏 ✌️ 🙌 these individuals working full speed to satisfy to the best they can.“

“There's always only one person working and they have one work speed only but ithe food quality is always on point. Plus typically nobody's gonna beg you for money or cigarettes walking out the door as in other places of downtown Saint Paul. Rip Saint paul“
