50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Dunellen

“Food & service is always top of the line every time I go. Sometimes I get there 10 mins before closing but the cooks are nice enough & still willing to take my order. The girls are a great vibe and create conversation with you while they make the food from scratch & still comes out a chefs kiss. You can tell they make their food with a lot of love & passion by the way it’s served & the taste you get from the first bite. If I could rate this business out of 10 stars, I’d give it 11: best of the best in the Tri-State“

“We were in the area and decided to check out this place bc of all the great reviews and I’m so glad we did. This place is amazing and the food is so so good!! We ordered the hummus, chicken chapli and beef chapli with qabuli palow (traditional rice with carrots and raisins). It’s so favorable and so fresh. They bring out the largest piece of naan bread ever with your order or hummus and food btw which I totally forgot to take a picture of ??‍♀️ oh and the people who work here are so lovely!“

“The food was very fresh and tasty! Good portion sizes too. I got the chicken tikka with butter sauce platter and it was amazing a little spicy but just enough to be flavorful. I also tried the dessert item they offered and it was my favorite part it was still warm when they brought it out.“

“This was our first time trying Pollo Campero in the U.S. and was really blown away on how delicious it taste like back home in Guatemala.The Yuca fries are to die for. They are soft, moist, and crispy on the outside.The chicken was delicious and juicy.Our order came out as expected. The chicken was extra fresh out the oil.The staff here were very welcoming and helpful.The restaurant is clean, especially the two bathrooms (you will need a code from the cashier to unlock the bathroom doors), and quiet.This is located in a busy area but there is parking at the back of the restaurant!I highly recommend stopping here to grab some fresh chicken to eat!“

“Idr her name I think she’s the owner.. my sister Tiffany took me here and the food was AMAZING I had breakfast there again today! It’s the cutest cafe and they have WiFi so if you’re working you can just sit in and enjoy your food while working! It’s PEEFECT“

“I really enjoy this place! Great food and a party supplies section. They'll even inflate your balloons ?? (no, seriously)It seems you can't go wrong with anything on the menu but it's the sandwiches, paninis and wraps that keep us coming back. Actually just had a gyro and enjoyed that, too.As a convenience store, it rates above average. The party supplies were actually clutch on a few occasions as was its variety of other treats and snacks, most conveniently located.I recommend this shop to anyone willing to find it when they're passing along on their route. . .it is located in Hidden Lake Towne Centre! ?“

“We ordered the new Ultimate Cookie Blizzard and it was amazing! We even met the owner, Lou, and his daughter, Donna, and they were great to chat with. We sat outside, enjoying our Blizzards. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors as well as parking.“

“During my commute back from New Brunswick on April 1st, I stopped by White Rose Hamburgers for a meal, despite the day’s drizzle. As I arrived around 10:30 AM, the diner was barely busy. The parking lot had only a couple cars: If I had driven here then would have been ample space. From the outside, the place looked considerably plain, for a Manno-produced dining car (it was likely bricked with stucco)---the interior, in which clean stools and countertops lined the walls, was not much different, though there was a plethora of mid-late 1900s memorabilia for decoration. As soon I walked in, the two staff manning the counter and grill asked what I wanted; there were many regulars who already knew, though I wasn't one of them.I ordered a large coffee, Cali cheeseburger, and fries, which cost ~$15. I took a seat at the main counter (only 2 seats there), and only a couple minutes afterward was my meal ready. The coffee was standard, but the burger and fries are to die for---this burger is the type that melts beautifully. The meat synthesizes with the rest of the ingredients to create a harmonious sensation of flavor with each bite, equally juicy and savory in tandem with sour sweetness. The fries were especially crispy, with an audible crunch in each bite; their only downside was the amount of salt I put on them. Though pricy, it is impossible to go wrong with burger and fries at White Rose.“

“One of the best place for Indian food especially if you are missing Indian street food in US! One of the best vadapao and Dabeli you can find here.. don't forget to try the UNLIMITED PANIPURI while you are here! Must visit place!Will definitely recommend to everyone.. must try place!“

“These guys are great, I came on probably their busiest day of the year (National Burrito Day), they got my order perfect and was able to make my food surprisingly fast considering how slammed they are. They are surely over worked and are being so brave ??Only complaint is the absence of the impossible meat :/“

“Your classic five guys experience. I've been here a few times now everything is consistently great which is what I come to a place like five guys for.Kid-friendliness: High chairs and a low key atmosphere mean you don't need to stress when you bring your kids.“

“This is my favorite KFC and I live out of town. I will drive out to this one and bring it home because it that fresh. It's always hot. No attitudes, they actually Smile at you. I love it.Parking: Limited parking and it is blocked when they are busy so its hard to park if there is a line and sometimes spills out into route 22.“

“This McDonald’s has all the qualities for being one of the best examples of a “Good Mcdonald’s” Pricing is on the lower end for a McDonalds Franchise. Food is constantly fresh, quick. Service is always great, restaurant is always fresh & clean including bathrooms.Side note: They had all the WcDonalds Promo Branding that had recently been launched on 2/26/24“

“First time to a Blaze Pizza and I somewhat liked it. Pizza was good, with lots of topping options to make it your own. We ordered a regular crust and a high thick crust, we liked their regular better, it was thin, crispy and good. What I liked the most was how fast you can order, choose your ingredients and by the time you pay and get your drink, they call you to pick up your pizza. It’s sort of a Chipotle or Subway, but pizza version.Vegetarian options: Build your own, you can add whatever you want.Dietary restrictions: They have different crusts for pizza“

“In drive-thru they have made multiple divisions with ropes and waiters stood at the starting point of rope holding ipads to take orders but the display menu is in the middle of the rope way. Both the students were leisurely talking to each other on oneside, being the first time visitor to particular location we have moved to the menu board and the students were shouting behind. We stopped car and asked, they said we need to order there itself but we said we need to go through menu board, one student annoyingly came up to menu board and took order. By the time we have collected our order few things are missing and chicken was not crisp. Mostly these days in drive-thru, orders are given recklessly thinking we are not going to see the customer back as they are moved and gone from the place.Parking: There is a vast parking. Better go for dine in.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at this burger restaurant! The limited seating created a cozy atmosphere, and the quality of the burgers was outstanding. The friendly staff and quick service made it a delightful visit. Highly recommend!“

“Made the mistake of getting the chili dog at another place in Middlesex today. It was OK but cost me $7.25 for one dog! Middlesex Texas Weiners are the best! The food is great, the people are nice, and the value is good. I always get 2 dogs, fries, and a soda, but usually only eat one dog so I have a nice snack later. I just read a really nit picking review about here and can only say that the reviewer needs to get a life. Been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. Sometimes come here twice a day, for breakfast and then Chili Dogs for lunch or dinner. And with Summer coming the parking lot car show will start up and the good times will roll again! ?“

“Food - the flavor of the food taste great but my food is always cold. There is no warmth to it whatsoever. Cold chicken, cold beans, cold rice, etc.Service - I’ve gone and had really good service. I’ve gone and the food service prepared sloppily prepared my food. Was rushing me as I’m telling them what I want on my salad. I was the only one in the restaurant; I didn’t understand their sense of urgency. Nor why they grossly put the food together like they did.Atmosphere - good/typical“

“I just my love, this Popeye's who the manager name is mohammed i've been knowing him for a while I've been coming here well. Over 9 years is popeye and the manager is so friendly everyone is so polite and it's also very inviting when we have a conversation we always want to make sure everyone is take care of and the food is always fresh in a place that's always clean. I grew up in a somba said area and to come back home to visit my mother to come here and to go to the Popeyes. It's very exciting. I'm treated as if I'm family here. Keep him here, cause he's a great supervisor and he also is very friendly to everyone in the neighborhood. Everyone knows him personally by his name, and thank you very much for keeping Popeyes here. Thank you twenty four“

“"US Fried Chicken" in New Jersey is a hidden gem for fried chicken lovers. The restaurant is super clean and well maintained.The staff is super friendly, making you feel right at home. The fried chicken is fresh, crispy, and incredibly delicious. They serve it up perfectly, and you can tell they care about your experience. If you're in the mood for fantastic fried chicken, this spot is a must-try! Everything is Halal!“

“Delicious ?. You already know. Why I/We stop at the Is nearest Wendy's. Always fill the hungry appetite.Kid-friendliness: The staff was Ready, Willing and Able. Keep up the excellent hard work ?. We keep on serving even out of uniform.“

“The Jersey Mike's in East Brunswick stands out for its exceptional Chipotle Cheese Steak. The perfect blend of tender steak, melted cheese, and the smoky kick of chipotle creates a flavor symphony that's truly impressive. Coupled with their fresh ingredients and friendly service, it's a go-to spot for a satisfying and flavorful sub experience.“

“everything was awesome ? we enjoyed the cajun fries we had ordered a little ( portion size) fries , but quantity was like a large Macdonald fries Quantity was much fresher for obvious reason that it’s freshly cut Cheese burger was fresh & juicywe will be coming againservice nice & friendly ❤️“

“I had the opportunity to visit 2 Much Sauce for the first time. I was attending a MMS Christmas dinner and it was a good experience. The food was on point too, the staff were very professional and I loved the decor of the restaurant!! Definitely worth a visit!“

“Great place to find multiple Indian food options from chaat to biryani to North Indian to Chinese under one roof. Some counters are pure vegetarian so that also is helpful for folks. All in all a good spot to have some quick bite with a group.Vegetarian options: Some counters are pure vegetarianParking: Lot of parking spots availableKid-friendliness: Lot of kid friendly options“

“I so every so often stop here to grab a quick bite either going to work or heading home. Last time I was here it was soso nothing much just in and out. However, stopped in to grab a quick bite on my way to work. The gentleman behind the counter was what service should be. Polite while he had to refill an item, his team member stepped up to help and greeted me asks what I wanted. Took my order all in good stride. He offered a promo for a beverage. But here is where this young man Chuck deserves a review. Once the costumers where seated he stepped out and checked on each one of us! I have never seen a quedoba employee go out of their way to check on their customers. Customer service, awesome and friendly attitude and atmosphere…WOW!!! This location has a amazing team hopefully management takes notice.“

“At the Jersey Mike's Subs Metuchen location, I must admit, I was initially taken aback by the long wait. However, my patience paid off when I saw the sandwich artist meticulously crafting my sub. What followed was nothing short of culinary artistry. I ordered my usual Jersey Mike's sandwich, and I can confidently say it was the best one I've ever had. It was so impressive that I regret not taking a picture; it truly resembled a masterpiece. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the ingredients were fresh, and the attention to detail in its preparation was remarkable. While the wait may have been a bit lengthy, the end result was worth every minute. If you appreciate a sandwich that's more than just food, but a work of culinary art, you must try the subs at this location. It's a reminder that good things come to those who wait, especially when it comes to crafting a sandwich this exceptional.“

“They have both outdoor and indoor seating, which are both good. Their staff is really nice and helpful, and the dining room is generally clean regardless of how busy it is. They have yet to get an order wrong for me, so that's a plus! Good food, nice staff, and location.“

“Please give the entire staff that was working today 3/11/24 around 2:30pm a raise. The person at the drive thru was super friendly. And whoever made the food? 5 stars. My market salad was loaded. Tried the tortilla soup for the first time and it was so good. I only write good reviews to a place if I’ve had multiple good experiences at the place. And this specific chick fil a never disappoints.“

“I have always loved Arby's if your going to do fast food Arby's is In my opinion one of the A lister in the Fast food industry and their food is always fresh. My favorite is their BLT on their whole grain bread. A little mayo lettuce ( yes it's green and crisp,not brown and wilted in dual need of a vegetable makeover ,) The bacon is cooked perfectly and they don't just slap on 2 little like shrunk bacon that takes you an hour to chew because it's really just fake bacon ,not to worry. Their food is cooked the way it's supposed to be and if you ask them to cook it a certain way they will. For the kids as I said in the beginning they are the A lister healthy is in that review. Your children are safe eating too hat rather than ( other fast food restaurants that you would rather they didn't eat. But give it a taste. You may be pleasantly surprised. Do you know what Barbies favorite Fast food is? Arby's of course. I'm being silly with the Barbie comment because my Goddaughter loves anything to do with Barbie and has been bugging to see the movie,she said since Barbies real because she is making movies does she like Arby's? What was I. Going to say definitely not. I said absolutely girl.“

“The staff here are spectacular. By far the cleanest Qdoba I’ve been to and the food always looks fresh and they don’t skimp out on everything. Compared to Chipotle in town this is 20x better. It’s great coming in for lunch and seeing the same smiling staff members who always make sure you get what you want and more!“

“Great food and serviceVegetarian options: One or two optionsParking: Warren nj lots of parking in mallKid-friendliness: Service is great and kind employeesWheelchair accessibility: No stairs or height changes everything’s the same height and wheelchair accessible“

“The food was so delicious. We had the empanada sampler, which you can never go wrong with. We also had the Havana sampler that has pernil, ropa vieja and chicharrones de pollo. Everything was perfect. The pernil was particularly good. So we'll seasoned. You know how sometimes you get it other places and it's disappointing because it's bland? Not at Havana. I was very impressed!“

“I come here all the time and never write reviews on anything. The food is amazing, chicken platter is my go to. When I came in last week two guys asked if there was work and the guy at the front told them they were fully staffed unfortunately but he gave them two sodas free of charge. Today when I went in my meal was 11 and I honky had 10 when I told the guy at the front I’ll grab change out of my car he said just give me what ever you have it’s ok. I really like the food but the service and humanity of the I think owner is why I keep coming back. Give this place a try.“

“Desi Galaxy express’s live panipuri and vada pav are authentic delights that bring the flavors of India to life. The panipuri bursts with flavors while the vada pav offers a satisfying savory bite. Don't miss out on these delicious treats!“

“Absolutely insane quantity of food for the price, especially with the lamb/chicken and rice platters. I have been to several halal food places around here and no one comes close to the portion sizes of these guys. It's great, one of my go-to places for rice bowls. It also tastes great, you really get quality AND quantity.“

“Adam is one of the best managers I have ever met. His attention to detail is fantastic and the store runs like a watch. The food is consistent, fresh, and the rest of the staff follows his lead. I've met the owner, I expect no less from him, and the extras this store offers are an absolute bonus that many would Enjoy!Fast food, and "fast retail" in general is hard. Part of it of course, is keeping the customer happy. I think the bigger part, based on my own experience, is getting people hired in the store that are willing to meet these expectations. It's very hard to grab people who are willing to meet these expectations, let alone exceed them! Especially for fast food, or any retail experience which doesn't involve a full store, you're mainly dealing with high schoolers or inexperienced people. What many customers don't understand is that it is very difficult to both stay competitive AND hire people that are willing to work both the hours and the schedules that are required for these types of vusinesses , and give 120% daily.Both Adam and his franchisee understand that in order for this Burger King to be successful, they need dedicated staff who are both trained and experienced on operating the equipment, and care enough about the customers experience to push themselves forward in their own careers. I strongly believe that Adam and his franchisee have managed to find the best possible employees for this location.If you consider that they could literally hire anyone, and have not, but rather have hired staff who want to work and put the effort in every day to make sure that US , the CUSTOMERS , have the best experience... This is what everyone should be looking for as far as fast food is concerned. It's one of those things that's often overlooked.I guarantee if you go to this location, you will get not only the fastest possible checkout process, shortest wait times possible, but more importantly you will be greeted with staff that have been personally vetted and trained to be among the best . This store is absolutely Immaculate inside both in the back and in the front, and the overall store management pushes very hard to maintain this image.“

“Not from the area and didn’t know there was a sticky’s in this side of the state. Had Ash as our server and he was great with explaining things to my step brother (who is on the spectrum) about what the sandwich’s have and what sauces they have. Great customer service with a friendly guy behind the “

“Got some sandwiches tonight. I mean they had a tight shift team tonight. Great group of workers. Great music. Great service. Great sandwiches made. Not messy. They were all doing their part; Cleaning, cooking, servicing. Young men (Xavier, Arlin, Elton,Chris) doing grown men business thangs!! Not playing around, not joking. Just serving customers the right way and keeping the location clean and top notch!!! Thanks guys. PS Keep that play list going!! I didn't want to leave ?“

“I moved to the area about 2 years ago. I never could seem to find a good pizza spot and this place is IT! Always exceptional service. The staff is polite and always attentive and the food is always cooked perfectly every time. This place is way better than the other unnamed pizza spot in town! Keep up the amazing work!“

“The two gentlemen behind the counter were very pleasant. They have a decent menu selection. For the most part, it does not matter if you get a half or a whole sub because you’re not getting a deal by getting the whole sub. Example: most half subs are $7.99 whereas the whole sub is $15.99. There are a few where the whole sub gives you a $.50 savings. Today I did get a cheesesteak with extra provolone cheese, onions, hot peppers and a special hot sauce that they make. I’m glad I got the extra cheese because it definitely needed that and the condiments that were on there were very good. The meat itself didn’t taste like anything special but it wasn’t bad. It seems all of their cold cuts are Thummann’s which is high-quality. I do believe that the cheesesteak sub needed more meat. The meat itself did not even cover the bread end to end. One one end of the sub there was nothing but the bread by about 1.5” and 2” of nothing at the other end. So about 3.5 inches of the 16 inch sub was just bread. In all reality, I believe you are better off going with a half cheesesteak and double everything so you get a full sandwich with half of the bread. I cannot speak for any other sandwich as this is the first time I was there and the only item that I did purchase, as far as the entrée goes. I did get a small thing of potato salad, which was some store-bought stuff just scooped into little containers that was just meh. My meal of a cheesesteak, small potato salad and a Diet Coke can came to just over $20.“

“I’m pretty picky with foods that I like and I’m trying this kind of food for the first time, but I really liked it. I thought the sauce was amazing. The food was great and there was something about it. It did not feel like junk food and I didn’t have much guilt eating it. Definitely coming back for more. And I’m so glad they’re Halal!Dietary restrictions: All their food is Halal.“

“Rutgers Wings Store is an absolute gem! The wings are flavorful, juicy, and perfectly crispy. The variety of sauces is impressive, and the service is top-notch. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. Whether you're a fan of classic buffalo wings or daring flavors, this place has something for everyone. Definitely a must-visit for wing lovers! 5 stars all the way! Brand new but I love it“

“Stopped in here today and got the Big Mac deal for $2 and the 99 cent drink. I'm not sure if anything was wrong with the big mac, it's just hard to eat because it falls all over the place especially with the little pieces of lettuce, but the beef itself starts to slide out of the burger while trying to hold it.Also the soda was a little weak. I usually get a little bit of Dr pepper mix with diet Coke, and I noticed that the Dr pepper came out almost clear.“

“We stopped for a late lunch. He ordered a chicken bowl, and I ordered the Mango Jabanaro chicken bowl.Scrumptious. A lot of flavor, the right amount of heat, and fresh ingredients. Would recommend and I already found a location local to me to enjoy again!The alternative rock playing in the place was also great. A nice change from the general music usually played in most places.“

“I'm a resident of Sleephollow for over 15 years and have been a frequent customer at this branch . I cannot express how professional, courteous, and kind the recent round of staff at this location is. Additionally, the quality of the food is amazing always fresh & got. Bravo to the General manager and the entire staff.“
