50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in New York

“The Best burguer i tasted 😍“

“Went there in Lower east village Manhattan to have halal Tikka rolls. Had to wait for a good 45 minutes for our order. Small place run by a family, I suppose. Rolls were good and spicy. The place was so so with little attention to regular cleaning since they appeared really short handed. Hope they can improve the ambiance further.“

“Delicious fries, friendly staff, and it’s super fun to try the different sauces! I loved bringing my daughter here when she was small and then heading right over to Washington Square.“

“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!“

“best french fries 🍟my kids loved it we will be back“

“Good food with a price you cannot beat.“

“Only the best Chicken Shop in NYC 🥰“

“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.“

“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“

“Mangia is one of the BEST corporate catering in nyc delivering fresh, delicious meals.“

“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.“

“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 👌“

“late review but great vibes all around! I stopped in to grab some food and watch the second-to-last Knicks game on my phone, and the atmosphere was awesome. The night crew was friendly, the food came out fresh, and everything was on point.

The manager had amazing energy and was a huge Spurs fan, even though they ended up losing that night 😂.

Food was a solid 10/10, service was great, and the team made it a fun place to be. Keep up the great work. I’ll definitely be 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!“

“Every time I come here they take my order in less than 20 seconds and somehow it comes out in less than 20 seconds like as soon as I get to the front of the line my order is done like its absolutely incredible and the workers here are really nice :)“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“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.“

“Ray has so many delicious food choices.Deep fried oreos,deep fried twinkies,The egg creams are sinfully good as well as the soft serve ice cream.My favorite are the belgian fries.“

“Possibly the greatest doner sandwich I’ve ever had. The harmony between the oil and vegetables, along with the homemade bread was absolutely outstanding.
Divine. If you’re reading his you have to try this place, highly highly recommend.“

“Great burger, not too big and crinkle cut fries. Perfect.“

“Me encantan las hamburguesas y el servicio es rápido y excelente“

“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 :)“

“Yakisoba tastes almost the same in Tokyo street food!!!!! Love it!! okonimiyaki is also good! The chicken (karaage style) is also a must try. Another thing i like is they prepare the food fresh. Can’t wait to visit again. :)“

“Went to the one in Charlottesville Virginia. By far one of my favorite chicken restaurants. Just need a raising canes in Harrisonburg Virginia and that would be perfect.“

“Very friendly staff and excellent food“

“Chick's deluxe sandwich is the GOAT chicken burger in NYC!
Great place to grab one, fast and welcoming staff. Guy Josh was specifically helpful! The man take the work responsibly and needs a raise 👏
Definitely, my first go to place for Chick-fil-A in a city“

“Family friendly… nice view“

“I had the Fat Western Boy, and I can EASILY say it is in the Top 3 burgers I have had in my life. Like, eaaaaasily.

The burger was incredible, the mix with the patties, the taste, the cheese… The cheese was godly. I truly enjoyed it, like, a lot. I wish I had bought two of them, or three, or four.

The place is small, yes. Nevertheless you are having a burger. No need to be sitting and talking there for hours.

If you visit NYC, this place is a MUST.

Plus the guys in the back were listening to some Spanish bangers that made the wait even shorter.

Imma visit for sure every time I am in NYC, I honestly have zero interest in trying any other places because from all the places I have been to, this place is fire. Therefore, the search has ended. Case closed, guys!“

“Hamburguesas deliciosas y las papas con salsa de queso!!!!“

“I Love this place because the food is Really Good Here I Like the Workers At This Restaurant And I make a new friend at This Restaurant his Name is Mohammed And it's A Very Nice Place and The People and Everybody is great here and it's very clean and yhr place is Nice“

“My favorite chicken in New York City great spin on Indian Street food and the spice level can go off the chart on that big rowdy sandwich! What are you waiting for get your butt down here and have some of those delicious chicken!“

“Supreme quality burger, 🍔 excellent staff, wonderful business - can’t recommend enough. 5 out of 5 enthusiastic thumbs up.“

“Great late night place to grab a bite.“

“Great little pizza shop around the corner from the Beacon theater. They had probably 8-10 different kinds of slices. I got a cheese slice and a pepperoni, and they were both excellent. Cost $9 total, and it was more than enough food. The exotic slices are obviously a little more, but still very reasonable.

As good as the pizza is, what really sets them apart, and the reason I'm leaving a review, is that the guys working there were so kind and welcoming. Most NY pizza shop workers tend to be cold, direct, and sometimes downright hostile. These guys are the opposite of that. They smile, ask how you're doing, ask if you have questions, point out where everything is, and they thank you for coming in. That alone makes it worth going out of the way to support them.“

“This little breakfast-to-go spot is an absolute hidden treasure in New York! The breakfast is incredibly delicious and made with so much care – hands down one of the best I had in the city.

But what truly makes this place unforgettable is the team. They are unbelievably friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. From day one, I felt like more than just a customer – I felt at home.

I loved it so much that I came back every single day during my stay in New York. That says everything! If you’re in the area, don’t even think twice – this place is a must.

Absolutely amazing experience!“

“Tucked into the buzzing streets of Hell’s Kitchen, Famous Halal Foods delivers exactly what New York street food is known for with its bold flavors, generous portions, and a personal touch that stays with you.

We went for their combo over rice, a hearty mix of tender chicken and flavorful meat served with rice, veggies, fries, and their signature sauces. The portion size was more than satisfying, and every bite packed a punch.

The combo gyro were equally impressive, well-stuffed, perfectly balanced, and ideal for a quick grab-and-go meal without compromising on taste. The flavors leaned toward the spicier side especially since we opted for extra spicy sauce but it only elevated the experience for those who enjoy a bit of heat.

What truly sets this place apart, was Mohammad Salim who the man behind the counter. His passion for cooking shines through in every dish. Warm, friendly, and genuinely hospitable, he went the extra mile by offering us bottled water without us even asking. It’s rare to see someone who treats food not just as a business, but as a craft and a way to connect with people.

If you’re in the area and craving a quick, delicious, and soulful meal, this spot is absolutely worth a visit.“

“Well! All I can say is “I felt like Home”. Super cozy vibe, great service and excellent food combos. Cheers to the team! 🍛“

“The greatest Halal in the city. Hands-down the best vibes, menu, and flavors. These guys put in the work and you can seriously taste the love. I live in the area and they’ve been there for me reliably since before COVID and all through the frigid winters. THE quintessential neighborhood halal spot.“

“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.“

“豉油王大蝦、軟殼蟹、炸魚仔、豉油王炒麵、勁多薑蓉嘅白切雞、三餸嘅菜。“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“Came during the winter months, they had heaters which was great to stand under. The food was pretty good, I saw it was $10 on Instagram but there prices changed to $12-15. For that price the portions feel too small. Plus side, the food matches the Google photos.“

“todo biem y rápido lo máximo“

“I had an amazing experience at this Corn Dog restaurant! The corn dogs were perfectly golden and crispy on the outside while remaining juicy and flavorful on the inside. The batter had just the right amount of sweetness, making every bite delicious. The portions were generous, and everything was served fresh and hot. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Most of the staff was lovely and friendly but the small man in black was very rude after 15 minutes and me asking politely if my order was ready he mumbled something an stormed off ! Luckily the young man who served us came over and got are order
Maybe if you work with the public you should learn some manners

“Family friendly… nice view“

“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“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“Got the lemon pepper wings and fries and it did not disappoint! Wings were crispy juicy and the lemon pepper was a rub, not a sauce. It was seasoned just right, not too much, not too little. Fries were golden and hit the spot too. The service was quick, everything hot and fresh. Definitely coming back!“
