21 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Paterson

“All food is very good, service too.“

“My first visit to Wingstop was a bit of a disappointment, as I tried their bone-in wings and found them to be underwhelming. However, a friend encouraged me to give it another go, this time with the boneless wings, and I'm so glad I did! The boneless wings were absolutely fantastic—tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked, with the Hot Honey flavor standing out as especially delicious (Garlic-Parm was a show stopper too, but skip the KBBQ). Great value for the quality and portion size, too.

While the parking lot can be a bit tricky to navigate, the kitchen area was impressively clean, almost laboratory-level, which was reassuring. The staff was also incredibly kind and attentive, making the overall experience much more enjoyable. Definitely worth a second visit.“

“Let me start off by saying how Great the food is here!!! When walking inside everything is very bright and clear with prices on absolute everything. I chose mixed fried chicken with fries and also got hot wings with fries. The most amazing flavor and how very fresh the chicken was. Chefs kiss!! My new Favorite chicken spot!! I cannot wait to try more. Thanks for the great service! A happy customer and will recommend to my neighbors and friends!!“

“The hot tenderloin is fantastic.“

“Everything was soooo good!We had the longaniza, morcilla, buche & chicharrón, it was all fried to perfection. That morcilla ??My Chimi de res was perfect! The guys in the truck were very nice and service was fast! We are totally going back “

“I found this gem by mistake, best wrong turn ive taken... the service was great, the burger was delicious, the bun was good on its own.. the fries were perfect. The prices are very reasonable and I appreciate the quality for the price. I cannot brag about this burger enough.
Photo barely made it.“

“The flavors are like those of Barranquilla, it is evident that the tartar sauce and the pineapple sauce are made by themselves.
We were a group and we ordered a little from everyone.
And all very good, top ingredients.
I would drive whatever it took to get back.“

“This has always been my Go-To Checkers, the fries are everything, and yes they also have funnel cakes aka funnel cake fries, if you are familiar with the area, I do recommend this location...“

“Amazing food high recommend the fudge cheesecake on a stick“

“me encanta la reina pepiada.😋“

“Had some paperwork to do in downtown and walking by the smells just got me I had to try a sandwich especially since I was in the company of my daughter. We ordered the Roma panini… it was so delicious perfect melt cheese and such a good pesto base , the chicken was so tender. Service was so friendly and inviting, the cashier made sure my coffee was just the way we wanted . Definitely the highlight of our day .“

“This place has been around for decades, and their fried chicken is by far the best I’ve had throughout Passaic county. It has a nice spice to it that separates it from others. Their beef patties are also delicious… and you cannot forget to order a burger!

The only concern is the location. They’re located in a dangerous part of Paterson; fortunately, nothing has happened whenever I visited, but always be on alert.“

“The food is very delicious, the staff is very friendly and helpful, they need to understand English better as they made some mistakes with our very large order but we love the overall price and quality of service. The Dj was very energetic which we like but we couldn't hear ourselves talking as it was my mom celebrating her birthday. We overall had a wonderful time together eating, drinking and dancing!! Thank you, we all had an amazing time.“

“Tienen rica comida y batidos a cualquier hora pero la picada no está buena. Tiene muchas papas francesas no tiene chicharrón. No tiene rellena. Y esta muy cara por unos pocos pedazos de pollo y carne!! They have good food and drinks at any time. However la picada is over price for some pieces of meat and chicken and lots of French fries. It’s missing pork (chicharrón) and Colombian sushi (rellena).“

“i don’t usually comment on stuff but wow was this place amazing i highly recommend it if you are around the area of New Jersey, Paterson. i lives they’re tostones so crispy and the perfect golden color as well as they’re perfectly seasoned chicken. and “herbo world” i agree with you they’re was a girl named valeria they’re when i went last week she was great so comforting and welcoming just how you say. i love this place!!“

“Food always fresh and delicious & very reasonably priced - Been my secret treasure 10+ years - the owner's work as hard as employees & greet everyone as family.
Best suited to go or for a small group to eat in for lunch.“

“I finally made it to Cocina Papa Andres after seeing all the hype on social media and it absolutely lived up to it. I ordered the chimi de carne de res, and it instantly took me back to the Dominican Republic.

The sauce was spot on, the meat was juicy and full of flavor (not dry at all), and the bread had that perfect texture, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They also nailed the balance with the cabbage.

Hands down, this is the best chimi I’ve had in New Jersey. Honestly, it can compete with some of the best chimis I’ve had in Washington Heights and Dyckman in New York.

I’ll definitely be coming back regularly, already looking forward to trying their fritura platters.“

“Local around the area and will always love this place to my core. I’ve been coming here since I was young and I watched the place change interior looks and saw the upgrade they had; proud of them! My family and I would have this place for Dinner time to time and it would never disappoint. Food is wonderful as always.“

“The Subway on Main Street in Paterson is always a solid choice! The staff is friendly and makes the sandwiches just the way you ask. Everything tastes fresh — from the bread to the veggies — and the place is clean and well maintained. Service is quick, and they’re consistent every time I stop by. Great spot for a quick, fresh meal in Paterson!“

“Huge thank you to El Boulevard Fritura y Chimichurri and especially the chef!

My buddy and I went after midnight the day after a snowstorm. A few other food trucks showed as open on Google but were closed, and this was the only spot actually open; which we appreciated right away.

Unfortunately, the roads weren’t plowed well and my car got stuck in the snow. The chef noticed immediately and ran out of the truck to help us. He even brought out a shovel and started clearing snow himself. That level of kindness and willingness to help late at night meant a lot. You don’t see that often.

On top of that, the pierna chimi was absolutely delicious; packed with flavor and loaded with meat. It had been a while since we had one, and it definitely hit the spot. Well worth everything we went through to get there.

Great food and even better people. Highly recommend!“

“Very surprised by this place. I ordered the rainbow bowl, the hot and sour soup, and the kani salad. Everything was fresh and delicious
And great portions for a great price. My favorite was the hot and sour soup
I will definitely be ordering again“
