32 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Fairport Harbor

“can’t say enough good things about this Subway. Every time I walk in, the team treats me with such kindness and care. They frequently surprise me with free items, and their genuine hospitality makes all the difference. I’m truly grateful for their exceptional service!“

“If you want an old fashioned, homemade oversized burger just the way you like it, then stop here. They grill it right when you order it so it takes a minute for you to get your order, but believe me when I say it is worth the wait. Juicy and prepared with the fixings of your choice, add a side of onion rings or fair fries and you can't go wrong. Milk shakes are delicious and all-in-all pricing is fair for what they're offering. Outside picnic tables or take it to a nearby park, or your home. No inside dining here, this is old school drive up dining at its very best!“

“Cannot believe the incredible value! Great food!“

“Went there today had GREAT food and AMAZING SERVICE!! Can't wait to go back!“

“We recently tried a variety of items at Long John Silver’s, and overall, it turned out to be a surprisingly satisfying experience. While the chain is best known for its seafood, the real standout for us was the chicken tenders.

The chicken tenders were exceptionally good—juicy, soft, and packed with flavor. They were cooked perfectly all the way through, with a crispy coating that didn’t feel overly greasy. In fact, there was only a very minimal hint of oil, which made them even more enjoyable. Every bite felt fresh and well-prepared.

Honestly, these tenders easily outperformed what you’d expect from most fast-food chains. In our opinion, they even beat Chick-fil-A in terms of juiciness and overall taste, which says a lot.

If you’re visiting Long John Silver’s, don’t just stick to the seafood—definitely give the chicken tenders a try. They’re a hidden gem on the menu and absolutely worth it.“

“I had a great experience at Subway today! The sandwich was made perfectly — the bread was incredibly soft, and the meat quantity was generous. The cookies were soft and delicious, just the way I like them. Plus, the dining area was clean and well-maintained. Great job to the team #S&L“

“My boyfriend and I ordered online pick up and he went to get it in store but ended up getting super dizzy and passed out onto the floor. The staff was super concerned and made sure he was okay and gave him water and some ice while he came to. They even went out of their way to make sure he was telling the truth about me driving us home to make sure he got home alright. I didn’t get their names but I am really grateful for their act of kindness. This never happened to him before and he was super embarrassed but I’m glad there’s still good people out there to genuinely cares for their customers.“

“This was my first experience at pulp ever. I had never gone to a pulp location because I had never seen the point of paying for a smoothie. Earlier today, I stopped by this location due to the heat and was overwhelmed by a huge menu. I was fortunate enough to have an employee assist me in choosing a smoothie that I would enjoy. I believe her name was Evelyn but I remember distinctly that she had blue hair. This employee gave me useful advice in addition to not rushing me through. My smoothie came out quickly and tasted delicious. Truly an unforgettable experience and I will be returning to this location in the future.“

“I came to this McDonald’s in March 2025 for breakfast and had a positive experience. While I expected it to be the typical McDonald’s - with familiar food, basic service, and a somewhat clean restaurant - this one is far better. The restaurant was clean, the service was outstanding, and the food came out fast and was good. When there was an issue with the order, the manager immediately came out, was very friendly, let us keep the original order, and quickly made a new one. The employees at the counter were also very friendly.“

“I had stopped through the drive thru tonight about 10 minutes before they closed and not only was the server super helpful, but they even went so far as to recommend new flavors of the lemonade and triple check my order to make sure everything was correct. I will most certainly be stopping again especially on the nights I work late.“

“They're nice people. They're careful when you have an allergy and they know how to make a good sandwich. Couldn't really ask for more.

For anyone wondering, they do have gluten-free bread. They use Udi's, and it does not come frozen (thankfully)!“

“Even though it’s winter, I find myself daydreaming about summer nights spent at Dairy Queen. I wish every DQ came with a Putt-Putt course, because the perfect evening starts with a quick round of mini-golf with my son—laughing at our terrible swings, talking about absolutely nothing, and savoring the simplicity of the moment. And then comes the ritual reward: a creamy, cold cone, dripping just enough to be perfectly messy, or one of those indulgent ice cream cupcakes that I can’t resist hiding in my freezer for later. There’s something magical about that combination—sunset skies, a little friendly competition, and ice cream that tastes like pure happiness. Whether it’s a solo indulgence, a shared mother-son adventure, or a spontaneous treat after work, Dairy Queen is more than a dessert stop; it’s a slice of joy, a moment frozen in summer, and the kind of place that makes life just a little sweeter. 🍦⛳✨“
