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.“

“Good price and quality. I always order it with the sauce on the side and one time they forgot the sauce and it still tasted amazing without sauce. I often order it without sauce now lol. Other places drench everything in sauce to mask the taste of low quality meat but not here. The meat is great quality and very flavorful on its own.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“The food comes out super quick, and is delicious! The staff are super helpful and efficient, providing quick and great service throughout every visit. Whenever I can, I make sure to stop by this specific location just because of the atmosphere! I love to have my lunch at the rooftop.“

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

“Ivan was polite and efficient he went above and beyond to make sure the large order was correct and remembered the small details of 9 sandwiches the service was the best subway is lucky to have Ivan as an worker one day soon hopefully he will be an owner he has what it takes productive & positive it’s the best subway location in the city especially when Ivan is working 🫡🥳“

“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.“

“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 👌“

“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. :)“

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

“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.“

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

“Very friendly staff and excellent food“

“Family friendly… nice view“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came from Toronto and decided to try this place out while we were staying in an AirBnB nearby. Holy smokes, one of best eats we had in NY our whole trip. We really fell in love with Brooklyn and this deli had the small town, family run charm that grounds you. Delicious, a must try.“

“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.“

“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! 🍛“

“I live 1&1/2 blocks from this truck and the food is amazing! The guys are so nice! The wait is short and the food is out so fast! They started with a cart and have been able to move up to a truck which gives you an idea of just how good they are!!! Get a meal and have a picnic in Central Park, that is a winning combo!“

“Food is always good. I have no complaints about that and the atmosphere is always good vibrations. Anytime I walk through the door. The cashier aren’t really friendly. I get it because if I work an 8hr. shift and it’s the end of the day. I’m tired too. But they can be a little more friendly, smile, and courteous. Everything else is great.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“The staff were super nice and into the holiday spirit i love it. I was unsure on what i wanted to eat and the person at the cashier was super helpful and patient with me. I got my food pretty quick. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was clean and full of that holiday spirit. I will be coming back.“

“100 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ for United Fried Chicken.
It’s my first time trying, i order 9 pcs chicken with fries and chicken rice with the sauce on the side .
Usually other place will only give 1x2oz if i request sauce on the side, but here, they gave me 2x 4oz !!
This place so generous, even the fries !
My daughter is a picky eater, but they ate all the chicken rice without 1 pc rice left and my little one she loved the crunchiness from the chicken skin, they even liked the white sauce ❤
And also the owner so nice 👍
Highly recommended ❤“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“
