50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Dayton

“I recently visited this Subway shop, and I was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience. The service was exceptional — the staff (Mr. Ashok) was not only kind and helpful but also attentive to every detail, making sure I had exactly what I wanted. The quality of the sandwich was top-notch, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors that left me satisfied and impressed. On top of that, the cleanliness of the store was impeccable, which is something not often seen at many other locations. If you’ve been disappointed by other Subway branches in the past, this location will definitely change your perspective and set a new standard for what you expect from Subway. Highly recommend!“

“We ordered Subs for nursing and front desk staff at the hospital for lunch. The manager Cody was helpful, and the subs were great. This is our favorite sub place! GREAT FOOD, and awesome service.“

“Yesterday, I visited this wonderful place. I first stopped by Kaizr, where Angie, a staff member, recommended it and mentioned that her friend Salma works at Buns. I just had to give it a try as well. Salma was incredibly friendly and recommended the Biscoff shake, which was absolutely delicious, along with the Hot Honey Chicken Fries, which were equally amazing.“

“Immaculate, upscale, and unforgettable—this deli sets the best standards. Gourmet sandwiches crafted with premium and organic ingredients, spotless interiors, and shelves stocked with curated products. Add in exceptional customer service, and you have a true gem that redefines convenience. Quality, taste, and care in every detail.“

“Awesome burgers 🍔 and fries - can’t wait to try one of the milkshakes next time - I’ll be back and not alone“

“My steak and cheese with mushrooms was delicious“

“Always friendly and courteous. Food is always tasty. :)“

“always love going to 5 guys. this location is the closest to our home... about 18 miles away. it's worth the drive when you have a craving for a burger. The only downside I have to say is the burger prices are a little high, I assume because of all the different toppings they offer? cheeseburger was about $12“

“Not a huge fan of spicy food because my stomach doesn't handle it too well but I must say that the food is good. I got a butter chicken bowl with rice and veggies and it had a tiny kick to it. It was delicious and I handled the spice just fine. Also like the vibe of the place and the friendly service.“

“First time back since 1973! Even better than I remember it. California cheese burger, fries and a soda. Served up in about 3 or 4 minutes, hot and fresh. I will not wait another 50 years to go back! LOL“

“We found this neighborhood eatery while searching for something different. The food was amazing in quality and taste. I like the shrimp bucket the most! I will probably ask to get this as a shrimp poboy on my next visit. We had the fish poboy, moms grilled chicken sandwich, shrimp, and the buffalo wings - these wings were meaty and perfectly cooked!“

“I ate at the Monroe store today. I had never been at a Buubakoos before and did not know what to expect. I had the pork burrito and it was off the hook. The place was spotless and the service was spot on. The manager came over and introduced himself as John and asked if everything was satisfactory, and it was more than satisfactory. You would think John was the owner not just the manager, he cared as if was his own business. It was good to see that. I will be back for sure, my new go to place.“

“We're never unhappy with our meals from Qdoba! Always fresh and filling!“

“Solid spot for a quick meal. The chicken is always fresh, the fries taste great, and the staff are friendly and polite. The restaurant is clean and well maintained, even during busy times. It can get a bit crowded and the wait is sometimes longer than expected, but overall the food and service make it worth coming back.“

“I could not recommend this location more. We all know that Chick-fil-A food is delicious. Despite it being fast food, it tastes so much better quality. The chicken nuggets don't look processed and extremely fake like most other fast food restaurants. But I think what makes Chick-fil-A even more special is the incredible atmosphere and 10/10 service they provide. Did they mess up your order? Don't worry, because they will happily correct it and often times give you something extra to make up for it. People make mistakes, but unlike many other restaurants, Chick-fil-A owns up to that and works hard to make up for it. But what I love about this location is the PEOPLE. In high school, my friends and I used to go here every time we had a half day. After a few times, some of the high-up workers noticed and would talk to us, and every time they see us they would ask why we had a half day. They are genuinely so friendly and kind and they make us want to go back each time. I love this location. It truly is amazing, I could not recommend it further.“

“Very cold but we manage.
Can you also tell people to keep their hands from off the glass because it’s a sanitary issue. Nobody knows what is on anybody’s hands. Anything can fall off their hands and arms. Please let your employees be more on a watch out with this and this is not the first time.“

“I been coming here to this location for a while now. Sometimes during the day but mostly nights for late dinner. The staff during both day and night are very friendly and I have nothing negative to say about the service or the food. The food I receive every time is fresh. I don’t mind eating here at all. In fact, I’m actually a regular costumer and eat from here quite often. Great place, food and staff. 👍🏻“

“Love the cauliflower and the modability for someone like me who doesn't eat meat. Love the new breakfast burrito!!! Everytime I go in my food is always ready quickly and everyone I have met who works here have been really really kind. Good service and much better then buying from some huge chain. The food being tasty and big portions is a bonus!“

“We had a great experience here. The food is excellent. The fries were awesome. The shakes are fantastic!! My family and I were passing thru and were welcomed as if we always go there. After today's experience, I will definitely make another trip. I also recommend others to go here. The food is great. The service is on point and It was very clean. And don't forget the free peanuts. Get some free peanuts.

Kid-friendliness: They have kid size burgers.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp and bathrooms are wheel chair accessible.“

“Great service and friendly staff“

“After a long day at Six Flags I was starving. I never had White Castle and always wanted to try it. I stopped by this location and got 2 meals for myself and my girlfriend. The staff was very nice and apologized for a slight wait. The food was great, I wished there was a White Castle near where I am. I went in and ordered, there’s also a drive-thru, and you can do an online order as well.“

“Five guys a little Costi. You pay for what you get awesome Burger 🍔 and the french fries are good too!!“

“On the upside, the bacon double cheeseburger was one of the best I’ve ever had at a sonic. The limited time pink flamingo drink was tasty and I was glad it was available in a small size.
On the downside, I always forget how sweet their onion rings taste (but they tasted very fresh! It’s clear they keep up with changing out their fryer oil)
And they forgot the cheese I requested added to my chicken sandwich.
All in all, great location. I hope they keep up the good work. They helped create a simple happy memory for me and a friend.“

“My order was ready when I got to the restaurant. My meal was prepared exactly as ordered. The food was not hot(just warm). I had to put it in my microwave before eating it. The portion for my grilled chicken bowl was not as large as usual. Everything however, tasted good I will still be ordering from this restaurant again however I will place my order in the store instead of online.“

“One this particular day after passing by habit burger multiple times , I decided to walkin with a few of my family members( who were also unfamiliar with the restaraunt).I didnt know what to order but I saw a picture of grilled chicken salad near the register that peaked my interest. I spoke with the cashier and he informed us to take a seat and review the menu for a little while . After chatting with family and enjoying the air conditioning for a bit we decided to order. The nice young man at the register was so pleasant. He helped us with our orders and brought the food to the table when the food was ready. The prices are really affordable ( 7 dollars for a burger without french fries ) french fries are 4.99 extra , the salad was maybe 12 dollars. ( My family referred to the place as similar to the original Mcdonalds from the 1990s when food wasnt microwaved but cooked fresh for the day and had better quality)“

“We love getting ice cream here, be it summer, winter, or any day in between. Just happened to stop by on the first day of spring, when this location participates in a free vanilla code giveaway (no purchase needed). The only crazy part was the number of folks in line ahead of us. Fortunately, we got the ice cream in 25 minutes. Other times I have tried the Oreo Blizzard ice cream. Simple irresistible. Highly recommend this place.“

“We were having a stressful morning and not at all together with our order. The young man taking our order and collecting payment was extremely patient and polite. So was the lady who gave us the food. Honestly best customer service I’ve ever had at any Burger King!“

“Absolutely great chicken wings are out of this world, moist and the 3 peice chicken was phenomenal smoking hot chicken was made the way chicken is supposed to be made , will not be disappointed!!!! Look at them bones , the DOG wouldn't want them bones !!!!“

“Big thanks to the tall bearded gentleman taking orders at the front around 7 PM tonight. I dropped my wallet without noticing, and he kept it safe for me—really appreciate the honesty. It was my first time here, the food was great, and the service even better. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I want to start off by saying I would give them 6 stars if I could.

I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger and Cajun Fries. That Bacon Cheeseburger was absolutely delectable. The Bacon was crispy. the patty was juicy, and the sauces were fantastic. Here are my go-to toppings if you want help deciding: Mayo, Ketchup, A1 Sauce, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, Jalapeños, Green Peppers, Grilled Mushrooms, and Grilled Onions. Their Fries are very filling and their seasoning is fantastic, though they aren't crispy if that's what you're expecting.

The employees are always friendly and helpful and the food is consistently great. I always tip the employees because they go the extra mile when preparing your food. I've eaten burgers that cost 2 to 3 times as much that I'd take Five Guys over. Five Guys isn't cheap, but it's 1000% worth the money.“

“Excellent chicken. A true “hidden gem”. Hole in the wall that you’d never expect. Chicken is fresh and always moist. Seriously. Better than PopEyes and KFC, honestly can’t even compare it to them.

Grilled Chicken salad is a made fresh, the grilled chicken was seasoned well, and veggies were crisp. Service is quick and prompt; No Frills. You tell them exactly what you want, they will provide.

Fried chicken was crispy and moist as mentioned before, was seasoned evenly. Go try it yourself before this place becomes famous.“

“I'm normally not a Jersey Mike's fan because it failed me plenty of times in the past, but this one was delicious! The bread was soft, and the sandwich was fresh. It didn't have mayo and all the condiments on it, but the sandwich managed to still be good. Normally, a sandwich is dry without them. Maybe I'll give the other Jersey Mike's another chance, but preferably this location.“

“I usually don’t review fast food but this Taco Bell makes every Taco Bell I have ever been to look like trash. Staff was very polite and happy. Food was hot and didn’t taste like it’s been sitting. The serving of meat in our meal was generous. Wasn’t skimpy. Worth everyone penny. I would have paid more honestly.“

“I don’t understand the negative reviews, but to each their own. This McDonald’s is located in a huge, busy Walmart and mostly everyone stops for food during their trip. Although there is a very high amount of customers the line moves quick and efficiently. I’ve never had a bad experience with any of the employees they are always respectful and never rush you if you have any questions despite the restaurant being a fast paced environment. They’ve always tried to accommodate me whether I needed sauce, straws, ice or ect. They are doing a really good job at this smaller location even better than some with larger locations. I hope the employees are treated well by McDonalds Corporation as they deserve it.“

“Very good hamburgers and fries. I recommend this place.“

“Big THANK YOU to Jersey Mike’s Subs for supporting healthcare workers!“

“Was very busy in the drive through so went inside. I tried to use the kiosk to order but it didn't give me an option to input the coupon I had, so cashier placed order for me and was ready quickly. Food was very enjoyable. Our first baconators!“

“Best Philly cheese steak sandwiches ever. The staff is very nice. The restaurant is super clean. We simply love it here

Dietary restrictions: Not many options for gluten free or vegan

Parking: Strip mall parking available

Kid-friendliness: Very kids friendly place

Wheelchair accessibility: The place jus wheel chair accessible“

“Good place to taste a good soup and some delicious sandwiches or wraps, exquisite breakfasts. The attention is very careful. Delicious freshly brewed coffee. And you can try your luck with the lottery. Buen lugar para degustar una buena sopa y unos ricos bocadillos o wraps, exquisitos desayunos. La atención es muy cuidada. Delicioso café recién hecho. Y puedes probar suerte con la lotería.“

“I love this Burger King location. I rarely ever eat fast food, but when I need something quick, this is the closest place to our house. The staff are always incredibly friendly, and the food is always hot. They truly treat me like a Burger Queen. It’s still just Burger King/fast food, so adjust your expectations accordingly, but it’s about as good as a Burger King/fast food can get. Plus, they’re not skimpy with the ketchup. Major bonus. This may not be a 3-Michelin Star restaurant, but it is certainly a 5-star Burger King.“

“Had a wonderful experience at Subway this past week. As I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and genuine welcome from the staff, who were quick to take my order. Despite it being a busy work hour, the entire process went by surprisingly quick, and I was in and out of the establishment in under ten minutes.
Overall, this establishment is well-kept and fully stocked. The employees were kind and extremely well-trained. My sandwich was not only fresh and tasty, but also carefully crafted.
I highly recommend this Subway if you're looking for a quick, delicious, and reliable meal during the day.“

“This place reminds me of Rutgers grease trucks or Cherry Valley in LI.

Think greasy spoon hoagies - so you know what territory of "sandwich" you're getting into.

We got the Sanchez (chicken, mozz sticks and I opted for no fries) and the cheesesteak (not like the real Philly cheesesteak but still pretty tasty with extra cheese).

Only takeout available, and a half size was plenty enough for us!“

“I normally don't write reviews but our experience was so positive at the Somerset Street McDonald's location in New Brunswick. I have two small daughters and am 8 months pregnant and we were on our way back home after a long road trip and decided to stop in. The staff could see I had my hands full and helped me through the door and everything from the service to the food to the exceptionally clean environment was wonderful. I reached out to the HR Team to let them know how positive our experience was, and they were so kind and appreciative. I wish every fast food establishment was run the way this one was.“

“OMG!! I happened to stop into Big Bully Bites last night! What a pleasant surprise! I ordered buffalo garlic wings and they were the BEST I've ever had. Great size, perfectly cooked and just so well prepared.
As an added bonus, the owner is such a cool guy! Do yourself a favor and stop in, it won't disappoint!!“

“I love the frappes so delicious“

“online ordering went through online but when I went in person, apparently none of my orders went through. the person handling my order checked my online receipt and filled it. it was just annoying that nothing was ready when I arrived and there was no apology. the employee wasn't rude and I understand she wasn't at fault so I am leaving a 3 star rating.“

“It was my sons birthday today. I called the manager at east Windsor Chabelle. I wanted to see if they can deliver the happy meals to my sons school since my husband and I both had to work. She told us we would have to do it through door dash. That they don’t deliver. To request her store and they would be more than happy to put it together. So we called door dash and they told us that our happy meals will be sent to my sons school by 11:45am. We paid and thought great. The only issue would be that it had to be a different McDonald’s. One that’s closer to the school. I was fine with that. I go to work thinking everything is great. My son left happy and couldn’t wait to get to school to eat McDonald’s. My husband decides at 11:45 to call to make sure it was delivered. They tell him I’m sorry we can’t deliver we don’t have any Dasher’s to deliver the happy meals! My husband calls me at work and of course I immediately start crying!!! It’s 11:50am and no happy meals are being sent to my son!!! My son is supposed to have a happy meal party without happy meals!!!! I didn’t know what to do. Thank goodness the manager at the East Windsor location gave me her personal number in case I ran into issues. I called her crying!!! She said it was her day off and she could call her staff to get all the happy meals done within 15 minutes. My boss found coverage and I was able to go get the happy Meals and get to my sons school. Got there 10 minutes late but the kids were so happy. I’m so grateful to our McDonald’s and their awesome manager for going above and beyond. Thank you to God to her and her team.“

“awesome place to eat at !“

“On 9/17/2025 at around approximately 10:00 p.m. the, what I would assume to be, manager on duty, helped me in a moment when I needed someone to lend a helping hand. If it is possible I would like this review to go up the chain of command, all the way to the president, and I would recommend a big raise for this gentleman for being so kind and caring in a moment of need. He had such an impact on my being that I will go forth and try to emulate his kind behavior so that others can be helped. It was an excellent reminder to me that there are wonderful, caring people still in the world. In the future I will be back to shake his hand and thank him a thousand times more.“

“I was on a road trip and actually wanted to use the bathroom, but who can go into McDonald's and not order, especially if you saw they had spicy chicken nuggets I was so excited that I had to try it and was happy that i did this is like the chicken nuggets you want to eat while watching superbowl. I still don't understand why the small fries are almost $4.00. I mean, while Trump was working there, did he raise the price after working in the drive-through ? Ok, they have very nice workers. The Christmas tree was up and nicely decorated. The inside and surrounding area was very clean. I live in Brooklyn, and if I am ever in the area, I would definitely drop in here but just would not pay almost $4 for small fries. There is also handicap parking and a door wide enough to fit a wheelchair.“
