Fast Food Restaurants near College Point

“Otherway Kitchen is hands down one of the best spots for authentic Dominican food! The patelitos are my absolute favorite — crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. And don’t even get me started on their fritura, perfectly seasoned, crunchy, and full of that real Dominican taste that reminds you of home.

The food always hits, the service is great, and the vibes are warm and welcoming. If you want flavor, quality, and that homemade touch, Otherway Kitchen is it!“

“Rosa and Anna have all the qualities of excellence in hospitality. From a management standpoint they have to multitask bilingually and deal with people who are in a hurry. From a humanity perspective they must be so tolerant. Corporate culture might think that hey it’s McDonalds it’s of a different class structure. This is far far from the truth

Rosa as a manager is a consummate professional and absolutely a sweetheart. Patient and polite despite adversity (rude people)
Anna is quick to resolve and can see everything through.
Be polite to all ! It’s good karma and if you can’t tip write a positive review“

“awesome fresh and flavorful food with fast and friendly service.“

“Great customer service and delicious salads and other food .“

“I spoke with the owner after an issue he was very professional, and this is my follow up.

He suggested the chicken tenders and it was very fresh, I also saw a couple order the fish and it was fried to order —it looked so good. Honestly I’m very grateful the owner was able to make it right. Will be coming back again!

The sauces are also really good, and they have my favorite bbq sauce on hand, try their special sauce!“

“I ate here with my best friend a while back and it was a late night bite. while not much area to dine in. it’s surprisingly clean and the ingredients were so fresh easily the best halal platter in the bronx area. and affordable too well worth it.“

“Visiting New York from Barcelona, I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious and well-prepared , the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I would definitely recommend it to both locals and visitors looking for a quality dining experience in NYC.“

“Only one word, EXCELENT . We really appreciated that they open a site in our neighborhood , the food is great, the price is accesible and the manner of the employers is really out of question so good.“

“Fast ordering with their kiosks. The employees were friendly, and getting food was easy. My only problem with Shake Shack (at airports especially) is that it is SO EXPENSIVE. $90 is just way too much for a couple burgers, shakes, and fries.“

“I got chicken over rice for $12 hands down best deal I’ve had in all of NYC as a foodie. It was my first time experiencing halal food so I asked bunch of questions to the guys at the line and they were very chill; they described all the toppings that I pointed to and gave me a GENEROUS PORTION. Chicken was well seasoned and tender, rice was also seasoned and chickpeas and hummus were decently fresh; everything tasted good even on the next day. This fed me for easily two days! It was truly amazing that I can get chicken,rice,fries(shocking for me) and veggie of choice for only $12 was so impressive. I’m definitely going back.“

“I stopped by Wonder and honestly it was a really solid burger spot.

The burger was super good. juicy, fresh, and actually tasted like something you’d want again, not just fast food filler. The bun was soft but held everything together, and the fries were crispy and salty in a good way.

Service was quick and everything came out pretty fast, which was nice because I was starving. Overall it’s just an easy, no-stress place to grab a really good burger. I’d definitely go back.“

“I went with my bro to try this chicken spot and it was top. I ordered the big back burger and it crushed !! The combination of all the toppings plus the special big back sauce was so good. My bro ordered the Alito fries , I tried some of the chicken - soft and tasty. We shared waffles and chicken as well. The waffles were great. The plus thing - all of it was halal! I definitely would recommend anyone to eat here and I will be visiting again soon!“

“This restaurant is a very clean friendly neighborhood place, where everyone feels welcome and the food is good and the prices are reasonable.“

“The chicken is exceptionally tender and succulent, complemented by the delectable seasoned fries. The customer service provided was impeccable, characterized by its politeness and friendliness. I highly recommend chicken is back which has become a favorite among my family and friends.“

“Love this place! The owner is super cool and the food is delicious! 10/10 taste and customer service every single time!“

“really good. The chicken was very juicy and flavorful. I finished everything before I even remembered to take a photo.

The staff were also very friendly and nice. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely come back again.“

“Only the best Chicken Shop in NYC 🥰“

“My Step-Son turned me on to this and we would go to New Paltz. It shocked me how good it was!! Been hooked since!! I was over the ‘Moon’ when Poughkeepsie opened! I am betting they will grow and grow!!“

“very tasty. great price. great staff.“

“Spud’s Slope is honestly amazing. The food is so good — the loaded potatoes are packed with flavor and always hit the spot. You can tell everything is made with care and the portions are solid.

The customer service is great too. The owner is super nice, welcoming, and really cares about the customers, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely one of my favorite spots for comfort food. I’ll for sure be back.“

“Service wasn't to slow and it's a cute small spot so pretty chill. Family's frequent, however, I didn't like the stares tho felt like they've never seen POC but the food was really good. Definitely would go again but order to-go for sure“

“i order from here often and their food is so good & it’s halal! everything i’ve eaten from here has tasted fresh & well seasoned. They close around 2 am and always add new stuff/combos to the menu. Just picked this up before they closed. They are also very nice & have always had great manners. Me & my dad go here all the time lol“

“I loved it. I came in here yesterday after my graduation because I didn’t have a reservation at the restaurant I was planning to go to. And this spot made me glad I didn’t have that reservation. The bento boxes are only $15 that come with 1 protein, 3 sides, and a few extra vegetables. The boba and tea’s they have are to die for. And they’re so so so kind!!!!! I will be going here again soon :)“

“The best of the best 🙌🏻 I definitely recommend everyone to come check this place out 🔥“

“I've been here once, and got the double classic smack.

Was delicious: simple, hot, and greasy. A good amount of meat for a low price these days, and came out fast.

The place is clean and bright, and the staff were welcoming and friendly. Will be back soon!

Edit: have been back many times since, I stand by first impression!“

“My first time having the impossible burger here today and it was the best decision I made . The tots had magnificent sauce that came with it and i recommend having the wuu sauce . This will be a regular forme starting today , the service here was definitely one to remember shout outs to Scott !!!!“

“June 26, 2022. Walked to get our order of a Lamb wrap, chicken wrap and fries. First time there and a welcome place to the neighborhood. The staff are friendly, the place is new and clean and most important the food is very good. Will return many times. Check it out.“

“This place is incredible! The owner was extremely nice and welcomed us with complimentary falafel samplers while we waited. They turned out to be some of the best falafels I’ve ever had—perfectly crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside.
For our main meals, my wife and I ordered the combo over rice and the chicken over rice. The portions are massive; the owner really filled the boxes up to the brim. The meat was well-seasoned, juicy, and paired perfectly with the rice and sauces. Excellent food, massive portions, and top-tier hospitality. We will definitely be back!“

“Today. During my visit to fordham. I made a stop in checkers. To get a bite I had the most wonderful experience. As I have dietary restrictions because of food allergies. I am very pleased that the restaurant. Rep Awa was there too assure that my good was prepared without and dairy.“

“Usually, when you go places the fried chicken isn’t tender, but not with this place, I even ordered popcorn chicken for my son and it came out very tender as well as the fries were very crispy. This place is definitely a 10 out of 10 whether you are just coming for you or your children I definitely recommend. In my son‘s words, this place is a 100 out of 100. And the lady at the front she is very, very sweet.“

“Adorable and delicious stall near the center of DeKalb Market. Very reasonable prices, generous portions and options for all diet preferences. My husband and I split the fish + fries bucket and were blown away by all aspects. The fries were perfectly crisp and the addition of the spicy option, which had an excellent sweet undertone, kept us going back for more. The fish was fresh, flaky, and perfectly crisp. We opted for the garlic chili and sweet chili dipping sauces and both were packed with flavor and complimented the fish perfectly. We opted to sit at their side counter and it was a perfect, intimate atmosphere with great people watching for our date night meal“

“Taco Bell is always a solid choice! The food is flavorful, affordable, and there’s so much variety on the menu that there’s something for everyone. The Crunchwraps, tacos, and burritos are consistently tasty, and I love how easy it is to customize orders. Service is amazing and usually quick, even during busy hours, which makes it perfect for a fast meal. Highly recommend! 🌮“

“great location. perfect size. food is on point 💥💯🇪🇨 great portions and I jave never been disappointed! com on Come All!“

“Visited NYC from the UK and already planned to eat here after seeing the food posts and reviews and it didn’t disappoint ! Food was beyond amazing with loads of choice and huge portions. Was so good we visited twice during our short stay visit. A definite place to go if you want good vegan food 👌“

“Food is always great but its been about 7 times that I have went and the fried chicken has run out, and it takes 15-20 minutes for it to cook. I feel like they need to better manage the timing. Once they see that the chicken on display is half gone, they should already start frying a new batch instead of waiting for the last min where there's less than 10 pieces for them to now start frying the new batch. Also they have a limit on breast they fried in each batch. So if the few pieces are gone, you will now have to wait for the new batch to fry and that can take over 45 mins, especially if they are not ready to fry a batch. Other than that, the food is great and the staff are also very friendly.“

“Absolutely love this place! Great food, friendly people and excellent service.“

“Beautiful Venezuelan restaurant in New Rochelle with an amazing atmosphere, live band on Saturday nights, and a super Instagram worthy aesthetic. We came with our 5 year old and had a great experience.

Drinks were around $16, apps ranged from $5–20, and the $60 mixed grill was absolutely worth it. As a mixologist, I loved the passion fruit and classic mojitos. Very authentic, fresh, and served with a flower.

Food was amazing, Catarina gave us great service, and they even gave us complimentary shots at the end of the night. We also got lucky with street parking right out front 😂 Definitely coming back.“

“Ivan served me at 818 3rd Ave. He took great pride in making my sandwich. He was also very polite, friendly and professional. I had to tip him. If you want great service visit the Subway at this location and I pray Ivan be the one to serve you.“

“Nellie at Chi-Fil-A went above and beyond her duty to ensure my order was correct, she paid attention to detail, all the ingredients was apetizinglly placed in the delivery bowl and did I forget to mention that she delivered this with a smile and warm conversation. I love the food at Chick-fil-A, it taste that much better when you know your order is handled with care thanks to Nellie.“

“I had the hainanese chicken with liver over gingered rice, really well executed and super delicious. Absolutely loved the taro in coconut milk too , not too sweet, lands all the flavors I wanted in taro. Service was speedy and attentive, I highly recommend this place.“

“This is my fist time having Raising Cane’s in NYC and wow, this was very delicious. The food tasted very fresh. There’s plenty of seating and I went around noon - prepare for long lines. The service is great and they’re constantly tidying up. I highly recommend for a quick pit stop. Don’t buy KFC or Popeyes.“

“I recently visited **Shah’s Halal in Elmont**, and I have to say, this location truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the environment felt spacious, clean, and very welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable dining in, whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down with family or friends. The availability of **free parking** is another huge plus, especially in an area where parking can sometimes be a challenge.

Now, the food—absolutely delicious. Everything I tried was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The **wings were the highlight** for me. They were mouthwatering, tender, and came in a variety of flavors that really stood out. You can tell they put effort into seasoning and preparation rather than just serving something basic. The platters and sandwiches were also well‑portioned, satisfying, and reasonably priced, which makes the whole experience even better.

The staff deserves special mention. The employees were extremely **friendly, polite, and helpful** throughout my visit. They greeted customers warmly, answered questions with patience, and made sure orders were prepared quickly and accurately. The **service was fast**, but never rushed, and the positive attitude of the team added to the overall experience.

Overall, Shah’s Halal Elmont delivers on taste, service, cleanliness, and value. It’s a spot I would happily return to and recommend to anyone looking for delicious halal food with great customer service. A truly enjoyable experience from start to finish.“

“Very nice Popeye's“

“What a pleasant surprise! Unlike typical NYC fast food spots, this location features a clean environment, well maintained outdoor area, fresh food, and most notable, an ENGAGED ATTENTIVE staff. I was incredibly impressed by Daisy's hospitality. I have never written a fast food review before, but this exceptional experience needed to be commended.“

“One of the best food trucks in NYC. Absolutely delicious and fresh food. If I were to make a list of top 10 food trucks in New York this would for sure be on that list. They serve actual steak and their chicken is phenomenal. Highly recommend stopping by here and giving them a try“

“I got lunch there today and loved it!“

“The chicken was really good“

“Absolutely loved everything I ordered. Quick and tasty!“

“Checked out Halal Muchies after so many people told me about it and they did not disappoint!!! Cooked perfectly, super tasty and great portions! I hope this place is around for a very long time!“

“I recently tried this spot and was seriously impressed. The food at Dave’s Smash Burgers is fresh, flavorful, and made exactly how you’d want it. The smash burgers are juicy with the perfect crispy edges, and the portions are generous for the price.

I also loved the variety on the menu—from classic singles to loaded triples, plus great sides like fries, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks. The milkshakes are a must-try, especially the Oreo and Fruity Pebbles flavors, which really stand out. Everything tastes made-to-order and high quality.

The service was quick and friendly, and the overall vibe feels welcoming and laid-back. Whether you’re craving a quick bite or a full meal, this place definitely hits the spot.

Highly recommend if you’re in the Bronx—this is a hidden gem worth checking out!“
