50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Cranford

“awesome. nice people. great food.“

“A friend of mine extolled the virtues of Shake Shack back in the day when they were in the park in NYC and had cameras set up so you could see how long the line was. Now there are bunches of them and they're all pretty good; some are just better than others. This one at EWR Terminal A is one of my favorite airport Shacks and I think does a better job than most. The atmosphere is very chill and they serve beer. Grab a window booth and watch the planes arrive at and push back from the gates.“

“excellent place recommended excellent service and very friend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Edit: Owner contacted us to make things right and looked for ways to improve. Changing my review because thats how you do business and take care of your customers. Will look to come back to give it another try.

(Original: Pretty expensive for such small portions and mediocre food. Might have to bring out the scale, doubt it’s 10oz of meat.)“

“it's incredibly delicious 😍🔥“

“DOES NOT RECOMMEND! U.S. Military Veterans, Do NOT go to Chick-Fil-A in South Plainfield on Veterans Day. They refused to give me the promotional free Original Chicken Sandwhich today, on Veterans Day, after showing my Veterans ID/Dept of Veterans Affairs ID Card. A 14-year Army Veteran, I am deeply disappointed.“

“it was good“

“Amazing and tasty food!! Great service and great prices! High quality meats and chicken, all halal, with proper certificates!“

“Baba's Hot Chicken is a fantastic local gem that absolutely deserves your attention. The chicken is delicious and perfectly cooked, and the fries are top tier! Crispy, fluffy, and seasoned with just the right amount of spice.

If you're a hot chicken enthusiast, Baba's can compete with the bigger names like Dave's. Don't miss out on this local spot!“

“My lady and I decided to try their protein shakes. I opted for the tiramisu, which I highly recommend. It’s a delightful way to conclude your workout. As a Tiramisu connoisseur, I couldn’t resist getting it. It was absolutely delicious, a perfect 10/10. A few days ago, I had their burger, and it was an incredible experience. I wasn’t expecting much, but it was like a homemade BBQ burger you’d get at a barbecue.“

“best tacos i’ve had in a long time hands down!! tacos were delicious, meat perfectly seasoned and cooked and the fresh handmade tortillas were a standout. beautiful presentation on everything, you can tell there is love in this food. would highly recommend!“

“Freddy's is awesome. Best burgers in NJ.“

“The best chicken 🍗 ever, ever“

“I love a good double Italian hotdog and the best place to get one is here! They have the freshest bread and the food just tastes incredible! They are reasonably priced and give you good portions. The only bad thing is that it's a cash only kind of place, so make sure to bring cash. The next time I near this area, I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“We were so hungry after work and school. Ended my work day at 8:30pm and was craving Spanish food. Did the research and found this restaurant. Super happy with food and even happier with the service. I had to order something affordable for the family and I scored! A BIG order in an aluminum TRAY and comes with a 2 liter. All for 24.00!!!!!!! The ladies in there were super nice and professional and the food was flavorful and on point! Will definitely be back!“

“Great food, great workers, amazing portion sizes.“

“The food is incredible , and the service was great“

“Absolutely great experience every time!
My local Subway never disappoints. The place is always clean, the ingredients are fresh, and the staff moves fast even when it’s busy. Everyone is friendly and they actually listen to how you want your sandwich made. You can tell they take pride in their work. My order is always right, and the bread is always soft and fresh. Definitely one of the best Subways I’ve been to — highly recommend!“

“GERMAN DONER KEBAB - AN ENLIGHTENMENT If you're from Berlin, it feels like there's a kebab store on every other corner. So I can recognize and judge a kebab when I see it. Even just leaving Berlin and Brandenburg, the kebab experience changes within Germany. The further you get away from Berlin, the worse the kebabs get. Some time ago in New York, I discovered one or two places trying to make a kebab. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find a proper kebab in New York, despite the name kebab. What was being sold was called a kebab, but had very little to do with a kebab and tasted even less like a kebab. All the more enlightenment then... the recommendation of a friend living in Brooklyn. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. And then the first kebab there since 2018 here in New York. I can't even describe how happy I was. It looked like a kebab, it tasted like a kebab and came pretty close to a kebab from Berlin. Really well made. Incl. tax 12.51 dollars is a bit steep, but still good value for New York. The portion was good and filling. Everything is really fresh and well seasoned. The bread was just as it should be, thin and crispy. This was pretty much the best kebab I've had in a very, very long time (with the exception of one visit to Berlin). I will definitely go back there again. GERMAN DONER KEBAB - EINE ERLEUCHTUNG Wenn man aus Berlin kommt, hat man gefühlt an jeder zweiten Ecke einen Dönerladen. Ich kann also einen Döner erkennen und beurteilen, wenn ich ihn sehe. Allein schon Berlin und Brandenburg verlassend wird das mit dem Döner innerhalb von Deutschland anders. Je weiter man sich von Berlin entfernt, desto schlechter werden die Döner. In New York entdeckte ich schon vor einiger Zeit den einen oder anderen Anbieter mit dem Versuch, einen Döner zu machen. Bisher konnte ich leider in New York trotz Bezeichnung Döner keinen ordentlichen Döner entdecken. Das was da verkauft wurde, heißt zwar Döner, hatte mit Döner aber recht wenig zu tun und schmeckte noch viel weniger nach einem Döner. Um so mehr dann die Erleuchtung... die Empfehlung eines Freundes in Brooklyn lebend. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. Und dort dann der erste Döner seit 2018 hier in New York. Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, wie sehr ich mich gefreut hatte. Es sah aus wie ein Döner, es schmeckte wie ein Döner und kam schon recht nah an einen Döner aus Berlin heran. Richtig gut gemacht. Incl. Tax 12,51 Dollar ist zwar sportlich, aber für New York wiederum preiswert. Die Portion ordentlich und sättigend. Wirklich alles frisch und gut gewürzt. Das Brot genau so wie es sein muss, dünn und knusprig. Also das war seit sehr sehr langer Zeit so ziemlich der beste Döner (mit Ausnahme einem Besuch in Berlin), den ich seit langer Zeit gegessen habe. Dahin kehre ich auf alle Fälle wieder zurück. -------------------------------------------------“

“I had lunch with my little ones on the 1st of Sept. around 3 and the experience was far beyond; especially being that it was out 1st. These 3 were Amazing. The young lady as my introduction; very KNOWLEDGEABLE and PATIENT, to the 2 person (guy) with providing endless options making sure you’re going to enjoy your food, with ending the last person (another guy) who made sure he ended your experience with HUMOR. Job Well Done TEAM 💜“

“Went to this Five Guys location tonight and Mike and the crew were helpful, attentive, and seemed to be enjoying their time with customers and each other, which you really can’t say often at fast food type places much these days. We live in between 2 locations and usually go to the other one more often but their fries were better than I remembered tonight and I’m more likely to go to Westfield again next time we order. Thanks!“

“Always friendly and service is good. Food cooked and ready for pickup promptly. I love the board where you can add a sadaqa (charity) meal for someone to eat. You purchase an item on the menu and pin it to the board. When someone comes in who is needy, They just pick a ticket from the board and they can eat. What a novel idea to spread around.“

“We had an amazing experience at Jersey Mike’s thanks to Juan! He greeted us with a big smile and made us feel welcome right away. He was incredibly attentive and friendly, making sure our order was perfect from start to finish. He even took the time to suggest some great menu options that we absolutely loved. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about the customer experience, and he truly went above and beyond. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable, we’ll definitely be coming back because of you!“

“I place a pick up order and it says it’ll be ready at 8:30. I show up around 8:30 and tell the person in front that I have a pick up order. She just points to the screen and tells me to order. I tell her I had one for pickup and she shakes her head no and tells me to show her. I show her the confirmation on my phone, and she looks confused and goes to the back. She comes back and tells me to wait about 10 minutes. I already paid so I just decide to wait. It definitely took more than 10 minutes and I was just frustrated because how do you not know there’s a pick up order? It wasn’t even busy so I was just confused. I like to give her the benefit of the doubt cuz she probably honestly didn’t see it. It was just kinda inconvenient. The food was actually really good. I’m not too mad about it, just something to point out about my experience.“

“I recently visited Sumoes and had a really great experience. The food was fresh, tasty, and served quickly – exactly what you’d want from a fast food place. The menu had a good variety, and everything we ordered was flavorful and satisfying.

The staff was friendly and efficient, and the place was clean and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or stopping in with friends, Sumoes is definitely worth checking out.

I’ll definitely be coming back, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a quality fast food spot with great service.“

“Blaze is an incredibly delicious and reliable pizza place served by their wonderful employees. Ingredients are fresh, lots of personalizable options, and overall affordable. Special shout-out to the wonderful manager Ricardo who brings so much life to the place!!
Can't recommend enough.“

“Good and fast service good food“

“This is by Far the best Fast food restaurant and nonetheless that serves better than all the other restaurants has proven me wrong when I first went to go give their slice a Pizza a try. It is also autonomous, by the way it is properly managed by the crew and provided with a Big screen Cafe experience that offers Variety of food choices at this location which eventually leads to wanting to have dessert for a complimentary Finnish to this portfolio class mechanisms used in this chain- the best in the plaza so I was wrong.“

“Excellent service, very good energy when the client arrives, they serve you with a smile, especially Laura and Sofia, a positive energy, I recommend this place, the empanadas are tasty, an atmosphere to have a good time. Thank you Brisas Express for your attention.

Kid-friendliness: An atmosphere for the champions of the house“

“You really can't go wrong with any of Red's food.And such reasonable prices compared to other island vendors. My personal favorite is her sweet onions and bacon dog, and her chili with potato sticks. Sounds odd I know, but trust me...she has so many unique toppings to make any combo. Then my other fav is an open faced loaded knish. She also does burgers, and baked potatoes, and thee BEST CUP OF CHILI!!! RUN, DONT WALK!!! YOU'LL BE HOOKED.“

“The hot dog & hot sausage combo with the works is the best!“

“As I was walking to my car today, my bag ripped and most of my fries fell all over the parking lot. One of the workers saw what had happened and was kind enough to run out and offer us another fry. Unfortunately we were in a rush to get to an appointment so I really didn’t have enough time to go back in. But as I was backing out, he came running out with a new order of fries! So kind and grateful for going above and beyond! We appreciate it! THANK YOU!!“

“I was in the mood for a couple dogs and never been to this place so no better time to try them. I ordered two all beef dogs one with mustard, sweet red onions, and kraut and one with mustard raw onions and chili. These aren't pushcart dogs they are big beefy boardwalk style dogs, very filling. My only gripe is I wish the chili had a little more kick and I had to deduct a point because they didn't have yoohoo or chocolate milk.“

“Yes a new restaurant it’s about time finally fish and chicken Thank goodness.“

“Good food and service, peanuts are a plus! The downside: there weren't 5 guys, only 3 guys and a girl“

“This is a fantastic place to get delicious. Fast food. Chick-fil-A beats out the others. The value can't be beat. Get the number one meal and ask for mayo and Chick-fil-A sauce. Put a packet of mayo on your Chick-fil-A sandwich and bring the Chick-fil-A sauce home to improve whatever it is. You eat at home. The baffle fries need nothing. Get a lemonade if you can handle the sugar“

“This McDonalds was very clean and has been modernized. They have an order kiosk, which I did not use, but the food was delivered quickly to my table. The Big Mac was tasty, but maybe a bit too much sauce which made it a little messy. But, overall, about as good a McDonalds experience as you can have.“

“Blue raspberry Misty was awesome on a hot day!“

“New York Fried Chicken is a Halal Restaurant I'm so I go there offen when I go to my bank Central Jersey Federal Credit, I always order the Grill Chicken Salad, I love how much grill chicken that I get in my salad, I have never tried the other salad ingredients, the service is great, they are very nice and polite, the atmosphere is excellent, the cleanliness of the restaurant, the seating in the restaurant, the seating is nice and comfortable, the prizes are reasonable, no I have nothing else to share, my overall impression is awesome no there's nothing else that I have to add, I would tell a friend to go to New York Fried Chicken and enjoy themselves, my favorite part of my visit was looking at the menu while I waited the different varieties of food, it's to many items to recommend they all look good, I can't recommend a few dishes not right now I would have to have a menu, the menu offered alot of items, I have nothing more to say at this time you are welcome“

“Thank you for making the BEST cake!! I came in a few hours before graduation and asked to decorate the cake on each side. The woman who decorated the cake did an amazing job!“

“I could eat from here every day! Elizabeth was missing an actual GOOD Ecuadorean restaurant.(I’ve tried them all) The prices are great and the food is delicious! They also have daily lunch specials which include soup, entree and drink. Also, staff is so friendly! Love them!“

“Clean and welcoming...I was greeted by the friendly manager at the door who also began searching up my order and packing it.

I was then graciously assisted by the personable and professional Shanyce G. as she knowledgeably answered my questions about menu items while I waited.

I also appreciate the assistance of the person who finished packing my order (this occurred at roughly 11:30 on 10/6/2025...I write this so they get credit but because I also don't like describing people by race and/or perceived gender).

Positive experience! Would come back!“

“My family frequently orders breakfast delivery from Oscars. Their food is delicious with generous portions and delivery is always quick. Our favorites are the French toast, omelettes and Taylor ham cheese and egg sandwich. Their French toast is especially yummy. Better than any other breakfast place I’ve tried. I’ve also ordered lunch, and our favorites are the chicken fingers and turkey burger. The chicken fingers are large and juicy. Their wings are also good.“

“Bubbakoos never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made exactly the way you want it. Their burritos are packed perfectly with generous portions, and every ingredient tastes high quality. The staff is friendly, quick, and makes you feel genuinely welcome.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or craving something satisfying after a long day, Bubbakoos hits the spot every time. Clean place, fast service, and consistently great taste. Highly recommend! 🌯🔥“
