50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near East Rockaway

“I love this place. It has amazing Venezuelan empanadas, patacones, arepas rellenas, and so much more. On weekends, you can enjoy hervidos 🥰 I come here ever time I can and it brings me back ❤️❤️❤️ customer service is excellent. If you have never tried Venezuelan food, you should order the combos. If you need to bring something to a summer party, bring a bunch of tequeños. The kids will eat them by the dozen.“

“I visit this Wendy’s location and it’s usually in the drive thru. However, the line was long so we decided to go inside. I met two young ladies behind the counter and the look on their faces screamed frustration. I waited until the customer completed his order. The cash was toggling between the register and the order screen to packing orders. I walked up and gently said to both young ladies to breathe and to smile. The food they’re serving will taste like their mood. I understand but it will be ok just breathe and smile 😊 service with a smile. And stop saying I’m sorry… instead replace it with thank you for your patience how can I help you… or thank you for your patience here’s your order. And remember to smile it will be ok… my thing is where was the manager. Came to understand that one girl it was her first day and the other was still new. I commend them for their job well done and I felt the shift in their energy after our brief chat. I do wish these young ladies the best of luck and always keep your chin up. 🤩🤩“

“I think this was the push for me and my wife to move from Florida to NY! We came here late last year as we visited some family and fell in love. Now we have been here since February and we pretty much stop there AALLLL the time. Luis knows our orders by heart and his family is the sweetest. I never get bad service and even if they are super busy they are attentive and apologetic. I will be back next week and the week after that..... I had to put myself on a restriction because it's so yummy! But its also the people that make the place!!! :)“

“My Wife and I saw this place while shopping at the Roosevelt Field Mall and never had it, so we decided to try. The server was very nice to us and gave us some suggestions and what was popular. We got the Works and Bacon Double chesse hot dogs and the pull pork poutine fries. The food was very delicious. We will definitely come back again for there food. Great job.“

“The Jerk chicken platter and hot wings make this halal stand out compared to others. Always have to get one or the other. The fried fish is amazing as well. The Halal eats burger is fine dining quality.
The portions is outstanding for the price. Never been disappointed with any item.
There is a wait time for items that are not a platter due to being made fresh to order so be prepared for that.
I hope this place keeps its quality and stays open forever.

Parking: The store front is located on a corner with both sides being a no-standing bus stop. But it is Queens so of course if you’re just going to pick up the food it’s perfectly fine. But during busy times those spots may be taken which leads to parking all the way down by Dunkin’ Donuts or in the parking lot of Stop & Shop across the street.
I’be never had an issue but something to be aware of if you’re not from the area.“

“We placed an order for a smash burger without the cheese - the restaurant accidentally put cheese on it and I was quite upset because we confirmed it many times (lactose intolerance)… the person who helped me was super super nice, he re-made the entire order AND had it delivered to us for free, AND was nice enough to add courtesy drinks. Genuinely it felt it was really sincere an apology and I actually really appreciated that. Will definitely order from them again (maybe I’ll just check my order next time though). Thanks guys for the professionalism!“

“it's incredibly delicious 😍🔥“

“Very nice Popeye's“

“Love Just Salad! This location definitely had its growing pains since it first opened. At first, the service was slow and the employee engagement was poor. This seems to have changed, I met Luis the manager and things seem like they are running well! Rams made my salad and didn’t an excellent job - made sure it was made to my liking and was engaging throughout. Great job turning this location around!“

“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!“

“buen servicio y atención amable“

“I love it here! Ronnie, Mohammed and the rest of the crew are BAR NONE! EVERY BITE MAKES YOU CRAVE FOR MORE! These fellas make the best gyros THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN! Juicy meat, fresh chopped vegetables, and savory sauces...you can't resist! Thank you fellas for gracing our neighborhood with your OVERALL GOODNESS! Keep on keeping on and God bless!💙💛💙💛“

“I just stopped in for lunch today. I had the spicy thigh burger meal, which includes fries & soda. I’m a retired chef & have tried numerous chicken sandwiches. This was delicious! Juicy, just the right amount of spice. The fries were also excellent! Not a fast food establishment, this is cooked to order.Both the young lady at the front counter & the young man working the kitchen were also very nice. Nice atmosphere! A pleasure, made my day!“

“Busy restaurant
Not as good as the food truck !
Food is rushed out like a fast food restaurant. Not made fresh in front of you -made to order !

Beef & chicken is chopped up into cubed not served like patties (you would get from the truck )
New - Clean restaurant /not like the board of health violation the truck was.

Prices are less then the food truck

Overall good but missing the made to order authentic taste got from the truck !“

“honestly wasn't to impressed, called for curbside pick up. very long slow line, after getting in had to wait for a spot , the kid went to 2 other cars before he bought us our order. waffle fries where uncooked , they screwed up our nuggets an forgot one of the sandwiches we ordered“

“Valentine's Day at White Castle was a bucket list experience I had been trying to achieve for years and it was totally worth it! They do a great job of making it a true experience from cloth tablecloths, roses and a photo op. We would definitely do it again and everyone should experience it at least once!“

“Update: No longer HMS verified. I will never be eating here.

I’ve ordered from here a few times within the last couple of years, so you could say I’m a loyal customer. Restaurant could use some work from the inside for customers who like to dine in. It doesn’t seem like they give particular attention to the customer experience but it is fast food like Dave’s so that is to be expected. The spice levels are not on par with Sam’s Hot Chicken in Hillside which they are allegedly partners OR share recipes with (I am unsure). I wish the price wouldn’t increase practically every time I order food from here. There needs to be transparency with payment methods and tax, which other customers have brought up. Once I came during lunch time, they refused to apply the lunch time price specials which is a bummer. Please don’t advertise deals you won’t actually enact, it’s extremely disappointing. However, the food is good enough for me to keep coming back. Ordered from here last night and got the single slider but was given a single tender instead.“

“The fries are awesome and the “Secret Sauce” is good too! The burgers could be a little bigger. The shakes are DELICIOUS as well!“

“I love their pizzas. They have a brick oven that they make their pizzas in and it really brings out the authenticity of the pizza. Their pizzas are sized just for you to eat. You have a choice of ordering a bigger/“regular” sized pizza that you’d often see at other pizza places but their pizza size makes it so easy for you to just eat that by yourself and go. One recommendation for when you go is definitely the bbq chicken pizza! I love the bbq chicken pizza. I get it all the time but it may be a little too sweet for some as said by others that have tried the pizza but i dont think you can go wrong with bbq chicken pizza even if you do find it a bit sweet.“

“muy bueno el pollo frito y el pollo asado“

“The chicken is fresh, tasty and halal❤️“

“Tried it today after contemplating for a while. The server answered any questions I had and has a very friendly and approachable demeanor.Coming from the Island background of Jamaica I tried the Curry chicken wrap. It was so good, it didn't need no sauce. The server recommended the Butter chicken, and I came back 2 hours later to try it and he remembered my order. The food is freshly made to order. Very impressed! This will be my new lunch/breakfast spot.“

“Halal Boys in Fresh Meadows is a solid late-night halal spot open until 2 AM, perfect for quick, satisfying eats. I grabbed the mixed Kofta platter with beef and chicken, swapping the fries for pita bread. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned (8/10), while the beef landed around a 7/10. The fries were awesome, and the fast service and generous portions make it a great value. With a huge menu and cheap prices, it’s a top pick when you want variety without breaking the bank.“

“Came in once last week and once yesterday, a bit later during the night. Since it was this late on a Sunday I didn’t expect the food to taste that fresh. Despite this, I still got my order tasting fresh and arriving quick (<5 mins) and could see workers diligently cleaning in the kitchen and a younger man wiping down all the tables, sweeping the floors and cleaning the bathroom. I had went inside the bathroom after he was done and it was spotless, something I would never expect to see from a fast food place. The manager was very nice and I could tell he’s trained his workers well. Will be coming agian.“

“Wendy's is still the best among the burget places. More money but more fresh and tastes better! How about some coupons?“

“Ordered through UberEats which was quick. The food was packaged nicely and arrived hot and fresh.
I had the Oreo Waffles with saucy tenders. While they overdid it with the Oreos which made the waffle very sweet, the waffle itself was tasty. The tenders were great, they put adequate amount of sauce and the chicken was tender.
Co-worker had wings and fries which he gave rave review for.

Overall, a great addition to our rotation of take out restaurants. I would recommend this spot.“

“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!“

“Went to Chefs Corner this morning for breakfast. Got an omelette and it was absolutely delicious.. FANTASTIC place. The staff was awesome. Thank you Mary Ellen for your hospitality !! 👍🏻 Can’t wait to go back …“

“The food at Arby’s is BETTER THAN A HAMBERGER!!!“

“Was coming in and had to stop and wonder if they were closed cause the lobby was so clean it looked like it ain’t been touched in hours
the cashier greeted my very kindly unfortunately the ice cream machine was broken but ended up being recommend the milkshake which honestly might’ve been better the cone i wanted ? great experience“

“terrific wonderful staff“

“Awesome place. Get the J*** Wings or the Dope Burger! Can't go wrong. The cross cut fries are wonderful. Please get Jamican Ginger Beer and this place would be perfect!“

“Yup.... laxative burgers they don't have this in Georgia“

“Great place for food with family and friends. Im one of the most repeat customers of them. Everyone is welcoming there. Specially the manager Mirja. He literally can read customers minds. Food is very good. I love there wraps. Soo yumm and u can have it anywhere on the run.“

“The orders are made fresh.
The soda machine doesn't work properly the day of my visit, the ice was served on the side and when I asked for more the guy makes some faces.
The place keeps an old fashion style but they can improve the lights and the cleanliness of the place.
The service was fast, but the staff were rude and if you ask for something they make faces or give you attitude.“

“Awesome service and delicious food. definitely 5 star Deli“

“Lived in Florida. Closest White Castle was in Orlando.

But visiting family it's less than 2 miles away.

It was worth the walk and had a bunch of chz burger sliders. It's absolutely worth the Dine-in

Will visit again before my vacation ends.“

“If you haven’t been to Taco Bell lately, you’re missing out on some seriously delicious upgrades! 🔥

The Chicken Chalupa is crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and loaded with creamy goodness — a crunchy lover’s dream. Pair it with the Nacho Fries, which are golden, perfectly seasoned, and even better with that signature cheese dip 🤤

Obsessed with bold flavors? The Cantina Chicken Burrito and Avocado Chicken Burrito are packed with juicy grilled chicken, creamy avocado, and fresh toppings — both hearty and satisfying.

Looking for something filling but lighter? The Cantina Chicken Power Bowl is the perfect balance of protein, rice, veggies, and flavor — clean and craveable.“

“Ordered through a delivery service but the food is always in point & amazing . I order atleast 1-2 times a month & had to put a few people on . The quality & service are always AMAZING , this is the only take out style halal food I’ll eat ! Thank you guys for true quality food!“

“I dont usually review fast food restaurants but I just had to this time. This was such a nice gesture, since my order is always vegetarian. The Taco Bell is always great with my orders and this employee had excellent customer service and is manager material!“

“El pollo frito muy bueno me gusto el pollo y el sabor me gusto mucho excelente servicio 💕💕💕“

“Not your typical McDonald’s! Instead of the usual modern design, it’s housed in a stunning historic-style building full of charm. The beautiful architecture and classic white exterior make it worth visiting even if you’ve had McDonald’s a hundred times before. Same food as any other location, but the setting makes the whole experience unique and memorable.“

“Just a little place in a busy shopping center with a phenomenal chicken sandwich and wonderfully cooked waffle fries. I will definitely be back.

Kid-friendliness: Lobes the food

Wheelchair accessibility: Door is wide enough to roll right in. Ramps to the lot are located at each end.“

“Honestly, I highly recommend it.
Very high level of cleanliness of the people working there, the food and the place.
Shawarma, kebab, rice and grilled chicken
I ate everything
Very very delicious and tasty
Especially Arabic spices“

“Arby's is so yummy that I make a special trip to get it“

“Excellent quality, excellent service, guac is not extra!

They treat you with respect and dignity. When you order triple chicken, they give you triple. They do not scrimp.

This is the only Mexican chain restaurant that I will go to. The other one's portions are disrespectfully small.

QDoba gets an A+“

“I’m a regular customer at this Texas Chicken location, and they never disappoint. The place is always clean, the food comes out fast, and everything tastes fresh. What really makes the difference is the night manager—he’s amazing! Super friendly, hardworking, and always makes sure customers are taken care of. Honestly, this is the best Texas Chicken I’ve been to. Highly recommend!“

“We took a table while the kids played. The food was very good. My chicken Caesar salad was very fresh. I was pleasantly surprised! Our waiter Waldys was super attentive and friendly. We all hit it off. Great place to spend a few hrs. And the kids couldn't be happier!“
