8 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Elmhurst

“I noticed Smashburger recently went through a rebranding, so I decided to give it another shot. We had some not-so-great experiences at this location years ago, which kept us from coming back—but after seeing the updated menu featured by YouTuber King Schratz, we figured it was worth trying again. I’m glad we did, because it did not disappoint.

The food and service were both excellent and fast, and the restaurant itself was clean and welcoming. The staff was friendly across the board, and Ashley at the register really stood out—she gave great recommendations and helped us choose some items.

Our order included the BBQ Bacon Burger, Smash Fries, Smash Tots, a chili cheese big hot dog, and milkshakes. Everything came out quickly, and the team even brought the food to our table. The Smash Fries and Tots were delicious , with a flavorful garlic, herb, and olive oil seasoning. The burgers were large, juicy, and had that perfect crispy crust you want from a smash burger.

The milkshakes were also a highlight. Made with Häagen-Dazs ice cream, they were rich but still easy to drink. The only downside is that the caramel flavor has been discontinued. I really hope they bring it back because it was a favorite.

Overall, this visit completely changed my impression of this location. Definitely worth checking out.“

“Been going here my entire life. It's been around since the 1930s and was recently remodeled. I prefer the previous look--- the new one is too sterile-- but it's only a small issue.

One of the cheapest and best fast food spots in the area.“

“I gave a five star for her atmosphere, although truthfully, I’ve never been inside. I know ordering Papa John’s in New York City might sound kind of crazy for somebody who is visiting from out of town, but their consistency is top-notch. It is exactly like the one at home (which I cannot say of the Papa John’s that we ordered from downtown in South Carolina). I’ve ordered twice, the first time, the driver called when he was here and I let him know that both my legs are broken and I cannot walk downstairs. This time, the driver called when he was about five minutes away. I guess he remembered me and he knew that a nurse had to come down to get it. Because he went out of his way to give me that notice, it was the freshest hottest food that I have had in the past month. I called the store because I wanted to modify the tip to give him more money, and they said it was okay, not to worry about it and just to enjoy my pizza. They have a really nice staff. I’m very grateful for them. Stuffed crust pizza with the garlic sauce- 10/10“

“The food is great, but the cashier often messes up my order. Even when I specifically ask them not to add a certain item, they still manage to get it wrong, which drives me nuts. Sometimes I just deal with it, but other times I feel the need to point out the mistake directly. I try to be polite, especially to the people preparing my dish, and I feel terrible bringing it up. However, the cashier needs to do their job and pay attention to my requests. I always make it clear what I want on my sandwich. The employees are great and always try to please their customers since they try to redo it and basically made it better, but the cashiers need to improve. Smh.“
