17 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Albany

“So very disappointed at SHORTSTOPS hamburger, shakes, and fries. Was made fresh drove to Hyak Park (5min drive) tots so piled with salt and the mass amount of grease left the food soggy and grossly over seasoned, notice the amounts of grease on the bag and every napkin soaked in grease, the tots containers soaked in grease , and the soggy squished buns. Went to get my money back because 2 meals $40.50 is outrageous when you cant even eat it. The thin gal with long pretty blonde hair rolled her eyes at me saying well they are greasy burgers. I said the shakes were great and my child was starving and ate the burger that was on top away from all the grease. I would be willing to pay for that but wanted a refund for everything else. So spent 40.50 got refunded in cash $15. Not fn cool. fyi 2 shakes and a double chz burger is $23 (still over priced for size and quality compared to lets say Hasty Freeze) Hire some decent cooks that can recognize they fuc@*d up. And do the right thing instead of still purposely screwing over customers and trying to gaslight folks that thats how burgers and tots are supposed to be. you should be ashamed of how your employees represent your establishment and what they are serving to the community. ZERO stars. first and last time I will spend money here.“

“Quite possibly the best taco I've eaten. Can't go wrong with the crunchy tacos - chicken, shredded beef, or ground beef, all amazing.“

“I haven't had this Great of Breakfast Sandwich, it was hot, fresh and did I Say tasty. I got buy one get 1 for a dollar so good I can't seam to Quite Quench my Taste buds they soon will know me by name, I personally recommend the Sausage, egg, cheese, Biscuit. As said I will be there Tomorrow am for more!

Parking: Parking good plenty of it but might need a short walk if big rig but worth it.“

“It's an A&W. Exactly what I expected food-wise. Fast, reasonable prices, decent food. There's also a sit-down area with booths if you want a break from driving.

What prompted me to leave the review was the staff. The guy working as the cashier was working like it was a sales job - great attitude, great service. I think he was the manager?“

“Delicious! My husband and I were blown away by the taste and freshness of the shawarma, the salad, and the falafel. The falafel was the perfect balance of crispy but still moist inside, I've been saddened by so many dry falafels over the years but these were the best I've had in Albany by far! Can't wait to come back! 🤤 The vinyl igloos were a great touch to the shared outside space too, perfect for the drizzly PNW weather.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options nearby for pickier eaters.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible but I doubt a wheelchair would fit in the vinyl igloos.“

“The only fast food restaurant I go to for burgers and seasonal favorites like sweet chili cauliflower. I know the burgers I order have the best beef and raised in Oregon too.

Dietary restrictions: Lettuce wrap is available instead of the bun.“

“We arrived right before closing and the drive-thru gentleman was still very kind and surprisingly in a good mood. We made a fairly large order as my family and I were driving from CA and food came out fresh, with enough sauce for my kids to try all of them. Top-notch customer service!“

“We stopped at this little place for a dessert, since we heard they have the best smoothies, milkshakes and frozen desserts in town! When we got there the lady mentioned they also have birria tacos, pozole and menudo! The pozole got our attention real quick, so our plans changed to lunch and dessert. The pozole was absolutely delicious and so full of lean meat that I don't see how they can be making any money here! Seriously, there was over a half pound of pork in my huge bowl of soup, as well as lots of hominy! I'm not usually a fan of pork but this meat was delicious and lean, more like huge chunks of fall-apart-tender pork roast. My husband had the Fresas con crema (Fresh strawberries in fresh homemade cream) and said it was to die for! You've got to try this place! Prices are very reasonable, especially for the amount of food you get! Service is excellent and so is the food!The photo of my soup is only about 1/4 of what you actually get!“

“Great People, Great Food, Great Atmosphere“

“Excelente food and service I’m very happy 😃“

“First off, I'd like to say I drive to this Arbys from Corvallis because I'm not a fan of the location on 9th. Food is hot and tasty, and the place is always clean with plenty of seating. Not always the friendliest staff but not rude - just more interested in mingling with their coworkers than helping you. Arbys is never cheap, but you probably know that coming in - if you want hot food fairly quick then this is a good option.“

“This place never fails to amaze!!!! The food is always fantastic. The customer service is quite above par!!! The prices are decent and the atmosphere is something to be remembered. Classic all around burger joint that brings back memories for young and old alike. If your in the area and need a snack, a meal, a cold refreshing drink, then stop by and enjoy the perks of an all around good time.“

“One of the better breakfast burritos that I have had in a long time. I got the ham, and my wife had the sausage. They were nice and hot. Ham, egg, potato, and cheese in every bite. Not just clumped together in sections. I really liked how they diced the potatoes. So they were cooked all the way through opposed to some places using thicker potatoes that seem to be undercooked. It was a little pricey, but what isn't nowadays“

“I see so many bad reviews from people on things out of the workers control. I've been going to this Taco Bell for years and just went again tonight at 12:50 (middle of the night) and got the same great service and food that's as good as it can be being Taco “

“I like posting reviews when it involves a negative so that others can be cautious.
I like posting reviews when it involves a positive so others can choose the business and make their own day that much better.
In my opinion, Wendys of
Albany has carried a 5 star rating for years now. My experiences with them says amazing! Fresh condiments, Hot patties, Fresh and quality breads. You can tell excellence by the line of cars and Wendys excells in moving the line through quickly also!⁷8“

“Best fast food in town and it’s not even close. The Mexican crew in the morning and lunch time, is the best crew I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m serious. They are so friendly so fast so honorable. I don’t know how they got such a perfect team here. Lightning in a bottle. I promise you, you will never find this kind of work ethic anywhere. I’d come here just for the hospitality. Absolutely unmatched service. Unmatched human beings. This is what life is worth living for, seeing these kind of people exist is an absolute honor. Raises my spirits every time I come here. Damn they’re good. The only bad thing about this place is eventually I have to leave.“

“We were on a road trip through southern Oregon and one of my road trip traditions is stopping at DQ for a dipped cone. For this trip we ended up at the Albany DQ. It did not disappoint.

First off it’s not a new, fancy DQ. It’s got that amazing old school DQ aesthetic, including that slate/powder blue exterior paint and tables outside that are bolted to the concrete. Brings me back to the days when they used to hand dip the Dilly Bars.

Second, they had CHERRY dipped cones. Not just chocolate and whatever weird flavor they are featuring but CHERRY. As a dipped cone fan, this is like finding a rare gem. I have given up on ever getting a butterscotch dipped cone but still savor a tasty waxy cherry dipped cone. It also wasn’t dipped so the dip was thin. It was nice and thick. NO COMPLAINTS.

It’s a long story but we ended up on a second road trip in Southern Oregon shortly after and I insisted we would go to the ALBANY DQ. We even missed our turn off! My kids complained, saying all DQs are the same. Well, they ate their words because their banana split was perfect, their brownie sundae had the perfect balance of brownie to ice cream, and my second dipped cherry cone did not disappoint.

Seems a lot of haters are reviewing here. Let me put it this way: I’d sit in drive through and deal with rude employees to visit the best DQ ever and get a cherry dipped cone vs going to a shiny corporate DQ where you only get the chocolate dipped cones.“
