50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Parlin

“great chili 🐕, has3 today. Been going there since the70's“

“After one of the most stressful days of my life, I have give a shout out to this particular Jersey Mikes store. I’m a mom of three and had been running around ALL day for the sake of my kids. Getting two to before school activities, getting another to a different school on time, getting a call from school for one kid being sick, running errands, going to work, getting kids from bus stops, getting kid from after school program and a slew of other things I’ve blocked out ( you know “Mom stuff”) I decided to treat my littles to a sandwich for a quick dinner. It’s their birthday tomorrow so my daughter proudly wore her birthday crown into the store and proceeded to be her friendly self with the staff. We ordered our subs and went to pay but somewhere in my travels I misplaced my debit card. Embarrassed, I apologized to the staff for my negligence and promised to return for our food after going home to get my card. The 3 staff behind the counter simply smiled at me and slid the bag across the counter to my daughter and said “Happy Birthday”. That has got to be the nicest thing that could have happened today. Thanking them about 5 times and still promising to come back with payment I was told not to worry about it, all was good. Long story short, I climbed into my car with my kids and found my debit card between my car seat. I ran back inside to settle up now that I found my card, they still told me “nope, you’re good ma’am”. I just want to say how grateful I am and how sweet a gesture it was they made to a slightly overwhelmed mom. Thank you so much.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“Good food. Chuck is great“

“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.“

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

“like a lot of the other reviews, i have allergies and my order was treated with so much kindness and care. all of the staff members were super friendly and assured my order would be made as safely as possible. i have a strict gluten-free diet and was thrilled to try something new and fast. thanks!“

“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.“

“great burgers and loved their sweet potato fries“

“The best chili dogs we have found. Accommodating to my husband's crazy ideas and also the best party catering idea ever. Kid wanted hotdogs and chicken fingers for her graduation party and Joe put together the perfect package for us. thanks for everything!“

“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.“

“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“

“Great food, clean restaurant, great customer service. I like that they are closed on Sundays, more businesses need to follow their lead.

My only gripe is with the traffic getting out of the parking lot, it’s total mayhem on the weekends with all of the costco customers using the same exit onto Texas rd.“

“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.“

“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! 🌯🔥“

“Hamburgers are always great when they're during the storm with the heavy rain and the static through the drive through not to mention the guy taking my order's accent he was almost impossible to hear He got very arrogant and rude as I couldn't understand what he was saying“

“I have been here few times since they opened and it’s always been a great experience. The food is amazing and fresh. The place is very clean and family friendly. The staff is super friendly and go above and beyond for your satisfaction. I will definitely recommend this place to others. It’s very good value as well with good portions sizes.“

“I can’t speak on the atmosphere but I can tell you about what I had
- Salmon Bento Box
- Miso Soup
- Shrimp Lo Mein
I ordered through DoorDash because the family I babysit for wanted that ordered for the kids , never heard of this place but was willingly to try
All the food was absolutely delish !!!!!
I was so suprised that everything has so much flavor ! I was on the fence before since I saw some of the negative reviews on Google after I had already ordered , seems like they’ve made some positive changes because our food was hot and very very delicious ! Completely different than some had said a year ago“

“Best burger so juicy and delicious“

“Eating it too fast!
Authentic, delicious, fresh, affordable!

What else could want??
After a week workibg on the road, this was by far the best, healthiest meal ive had all week.

Highly recommend the red lentil soup, falafell, samosas and chicken pita!“

“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“

“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.“

“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 recommend QDOBA on rt 1 Edison 100%. they are friendly, accommodating and way cleaner than Chipotle. I made a mistake ordering and they immediately made a new one with no questions asked. They are continuously making fresh food for their costumers. I am always satisfied with my experience there.👍“

“Better than chipolte. Great food“

“Tienen una amplia variedad de deliciosos sándwiches y jugos naturales. Una excelente atención y servicio rápido !! Lo recomiendo 💯“

“Very tasty but very costly.“

“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. 👍🏻“

“It is good to have fried chicken in the house.“

“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 just started coming to this location. And now I'm stuck like a glue! 😂 I really enjoyed the mango and papaya smoothie. All their fruits are fresh and perfectly diced. ❤️ 😍 IYKYK! And the shrimp empanada!!!!! Yes. Jennifer is the best. Matter fact : All 3 ladies are the BEST! Lots of hospitality there! If I was yall, I would def go there and get check them out !“

“I had a great experience at Raising Cane’s thanks to Teresa Santiago. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and her positive attitude made the visit enjoyable. You can tell she genuinely cares about customers and takes pride in what she does.“

“Highly recommend their pizza, burgers, wings, chicken, gyro platters, gyro sauce, sandwiches, beef patties, and everything they make does not disappoint. GOD BLESS THEM ALL With abundant bounty in this world and eternally.“

“Dylan, Alber, Alex, and Darlin were very helpful and nice when it came to ordering my food. Dylan made my food to perfection. Alex helped me order two large sweet teas. Album was very respectful and nice at the front. Very great environment.“

“Shake Shack is one of the best fast food chain restaurants there is. From the excelllent options, Smokehouse burger is a favorite, along with chicken bites. My husband had a birthday last month, and he missed the free shake promo. Theresa, the manager, was very accommodating and presented John with a ‘free shake’. That was stellar! It’s a great shake!“

“This place is a reliably good choice for my family and I and I have always appreciated this restaurant. The cooks and owners are friendly and clean who are also experts in halal. This makes sure the food is prepared according to a standard that the community expects. I always recommend this spot for people wanting fried chicken, halal, or a late night meal.“

“Good food for burgers 🍔 and fries 🍟 lovers“

“The food was very disappointing and very slow. My food was so cold and disappointing. I never experience this at this location. I did tell the manager and he didn't say sorry or offer anything. Very disappointed. I guess I need to find another location.“

“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!“

“Always good at Chick-fil-A“

“From the very first bite, I could tell that these sweets were made with love, care, and top-quality ingredients. The freshness, aroma, and texture were absolutely perfect — every piece melted in my mouth and left a lingering taste of happiness. Whether it was the rich chocolate flavor or the traditional sweets, everything tasted authentic and well-balanced — not too sugary, just right.

The presentation was equally impressive! The packaging was clean, elegant, and handled with care, which made it feel extra special. It’s clear that attention to detail and customer satisfaction are top priorities here. I also appreciated the prompt service and friendly attitude — the team truly values their customers and makes the entire experience smooth and pleasant.

These sweets are perfect for any celebration, family gathering, or simply to treat yourself after a long day. I’ve already recommended them to my friends and family, and everyone loved them too. It’s rare to find sweets that bring such joy and comfort in every bite.

If you’re looking for something truly delightful, high-quality, and made with passion, these sweets are a must-try! I’ll definitely be ordering again soon. 😊🍬💖“

“Great healthy food! Highly recommend to anyone“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had an amazing experience at this Spanish restaurant in North Brunswick (671 George Rd). The food was fresh, full of flavor, and truly delicious! The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Everything was perfect — from the appetizers to the main dishes. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great food and great service. One of the best Spanish restaurants in the area!“

“Great service and friendly staff“

“Gave a 5 for the atmosphere although I haven’t been there. I imagine it’s top notch based off of the customer service experience I had with a young gentleman on the phone today. I made an Uber Eats order and called to make an adjustment to my sandwiches. The young man on the phone was professional and did not hesitate to make sure that my accommodations would be granted. I wish I caught his name but the call took place at approximately 3:36PM on 1OCT25. He was exactly what I expect when calling an eatery. Prompt, direct, and accommodating. No questions asked, no back and forth. As someone who works in the industry it was greatly appreciated.“

“This was my first time coming to shahs Halal food edison nj The food was very good amazing fresh The staff was very good. I highly recommend the place and the food if they have over five star I will give them higher star but they only have five stars so I highly recommend the Food and the place.“
