50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near South Brunswick

“There's a reason this place has 4 stars for a fast food joint. I got my 10-pc nugget app joining reward, with two chicken BLT biggie bags and an extra sandwich. I have to admit that they have me impressed. I don't really eat fast food from the three burger restaurants, but this Wendy's by far is some of the best I've had it recent years.“

“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.“

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

“One of the best Burgers I have ever had in my life. I love their smash beef Burgers especially SmashMelt with Double Beef Patties. It is my go to order and one of my top comfort foods.

Their Vanilla Milkshake is also really good. Mozarella sticks are just average.“

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

“My steak and cheese with mushrooms was delicious“

“Zac's Burger in West Windsor is hard to beat for the great food, the reasonable prices and the very pleasant service. A great meet-up place in the middle of town.“

“Great lace to eat one of my favorite“

“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!“

“I work in the mall, and come here often for a quick bite to eat. The management and all of the employees here are so friendly, approachable and professional. I’ve never had a bad experience here, and they always have me coming back!!“

“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“

“I ordered 4 platers of sandwiches for The Arc Middlesex Hidden Lake/Wills Way Fall Festival, and everyone enjoyed the variety of sandwiches provided by Vim and Welsh farms deli. This is our agency's 2nd time ordering; we will order again for future events.

Thanks Vim“

“Delicious! I was new to the place so we got a variety of items to try, on the recommendation of my brother.
I had the mama's favorite chicken sandwich and the chicken was juicy, tender and flavorful. Everything was fresh from the mozz to the spinach.
We also had the herb parm potato slices which were flavorful.
My partner had the mango chicken salad, the home made salsa was so good he wanted to take some to go (unfortunately they only do small batches at a time!)
We took two orders to go- smothered chicken and the 5 way chili. Even reheated, the smothered chicken was phenomenal! My brothers favorite is always the 5 way chili!“

“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“

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

“Lemongrass beef box comes with white rice and pickled veggies. DELICIOUS!!!!!“

“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.“

“The self order kiosks are out of order, the party pack chicken nuggets and the family pack nuggets both have the same amount(45 nuggets) the difference is the family pack is $10 and the party pack is $24.99. no one knows why... Lol. All in all clean quick and pretty decent staff.

“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.“

“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 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!“

“The Hillsborough Wendy's employees are SO NICE.Ive been there in person a few times (and last year). They are very polite and do add ons even if you already did a mobile pickup/order. It's very rare to see a fast food place with nice ppl and manager. The food tastes great and hot. The breakfast meal is 😘. I love Wendy's but by far one of the best Wendy's. I'm gonna go thru drive thru this week and order more“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I've always enjoyed the food here. The falafel is great. The potato wedges are wonderful. I've had friends and relatives get the burgers and chicken platters and they all loved them. Nice selection of desserts. You should go in and see the selection which is more than what is available on the website. The workers have always been very nice. I wouldn't try eating there. Just get takeout. It's a little hard getting in and out of the few parking spaces in front on this very busy road but it's worth it. The pizza is okay, but if you really want pizza I would go to a pizza place. You can't be all things to everyone, but their falafel, chicken, sides, and other meat dishes all seem to be spot on here.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“It’s pretty good but I’ve only been here once. I’ve tried a lot of Asian fast food places and their food is better than average. The lo mien is tasty, not too salty or dry. I also got the sesame chicken which was tender but just a lil too strong with the seasoning (kind of salty). The tofu was reallly good!! Nice customer service too.“

“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.“

“The chicken is more hot and fresh than any other place I have ever been too! Like I mean you take a bite and it is steaming from being so hot, which is so rare and welcome. The wait is long, but you know it is because they are actually making it fresh when you order and the quality really shows!!!
And the breading on the spicy chicken especially had really good flavor!“

“Tiny little place. Good food especially for the price. I got a pork special. Rice and black beans were really good. The small side salad was good including the dressing. Pork was thin cut and pretty good. For $11 this special was very much worth it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
I stopped by the Taco Bell in New Brunswick, and overall, it was a good experience. The staff was friendly and efficient, and my order was ready quickly. The food was fresh, and my Crunchwrap Supreme was made perfectly. The dining area was clean, but the drink station could use a little more attention for refills.“

“Been going to this location for a couple years now. Always loved it with the service and food, but lately it hasn’t been it. The food is still dope, but the wait time is awful now. I had to wait more than 30 minutes the last couple times i went, when just a few months ago, it would only take 10-15 minutes for my order to be ready. New staff or management or something is causing this issue.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 love the frappes so delicious“

“Love taco Bell. This place was clean and the service was fast. Ordered when they were busy, but it didn't matter. They had two lines of employees making meals. And employees were friendly, sometimes hard to find in fast food establishments.“

“I've ordered and been here several times over the years. They've gotten somewhat better with not messing up the meals or omitting things. Thankfully ubereats refunded, but it's still annoying. The drive thru sometimes can be a long wait. I really only get the nuggets & fries from here, so I can't attest to the rest.

Parking: There's several places to park. Handicap, curbside pick up“

“Inside could use a touch up, I'm pretty sure there was someone camping in the men's room. The amount of meat on all the burritos, tacos, and nachos was less than adequate bordering on rip off. Huge scoop of beans though 😒. Ice in the drink was at maximum capacity. While waiting for the 5 or so items I drank half the drink, when going for a refill I knocked out half a cup of ice. Yes 10 mins and the ice was still to the cap. Guy behind the counter was extremely nice, kept apologizing for the wait (it was slammed at the moment from walk-ins and drive thru) guy told me to use the women's room to wash my hands because men's room was locked or occupied by a camper or possibly someone with intestinal distress code brown for the entire time I was there. Nachos and dirty greasy hands isn't a good combo.
If they didn't skimp on the meat and fixed the men's room situation it would be 5 for 5. They have good people working this location.“
