Fast Food Restaurants near Gladstone

“Taco Bell is Taco Bell.

That is not an insult. That is the point.

Sometimes you want something fast, hot, affordable, and familiar. Taco Bell usually delivers on that. The menu is easy, the food is consistent, and when you are hungry, a burrito, tacos, or a Crunchwrap can solve the problem.

That said, keeping the sauces behind the counter makes no sense.

The sauces are part of Taco Bell. That is half the experience. Mild, Hot, Fire, Diablo — people know what they like, and nobody wants to ask for sauce like they are requesting office supplies.

Especially with prices going up everywhere, little things like that matter. If customers are already paying more, at least let them grab the sauces without turning it into a negotiation.

The food is still good for what it is. The staff keeps things moving. The order is usually reliable.

But free the sauces.

Four stars.“

“Hey, McDonald's is... McDonald's, right? Cookie cutter menu, expected furniture. But... there are differences: staff, cleanliness, etc. Gladstone McDonald's has a happy staff, clean environment. My favorite McDonald's in the Portland area.“

“My husband and I have gone into this Subway twice, and Jesse helped us both times. He made some of the best Subway sandwiches we’ve ever had. He really took the time to make them perfectly. Every bite had all the ingredients balanced just right, they looked great, and they tasted amazing. On top of that, Jesse was incredibly kind, calm, and polite both times we visited. His attitude and customer service really stood out to us. Employees like him make people want to come back.

To the manager or whoever is in charge reading this: Jesse deserves a raise, bonus, or some kind of recognition for the excellent job he’s doing! We will definitely be back thanks to him!“

“Came in with my sister and had one of the best burgers I’ve come across in a while. It was an open kitchen concept, burgers made in front of us, and the fries ordered on the side came with sauce automatically which we loved. Good fry sauce too. Bravooo!“

“I love this place: the service is pleasant, and the food is delicious. I’ve never had to wait more than 10 minutes for my order. I’d like to give a special mention to the Turkish coffee—it really is a wonderful, spiced Turkish coffee! Highly recommended!“

“Passed by this place several times & today we finally stopped in and gave it a shot. So glad we did!

We split the beef bulgogi bahn mi & spicy Momo’s. All of it so delicious and perfectly balanced. Veggies were pickled wonderfully & don’t pass up on the hot chai. Great fresh comfort food & kind staff. Ate it too fast for a photo. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Great beer and the food carts are awesome!!“

“The love that he put into cooking the food was absolutely amazing. He met my needs as a pregnant woman and understood me and listened to how I like my food and my allergies. He is absolutely amazing. 10/10 recommend will be coming back here often!!“

“We had our first meal in Oregon at Gyro Grill. What an amazing way to start our vacation! Food was cooked to order and so delicious. Gyro plate, chicken kebab pita w fries gyro burger and a bubble tea. Both the tzatziki and hummus seemed like they were made on the spot.“

“Awesome falafel 🥙 Awesome rice Awesome salad 🥗 Very decent price 👍🏼“

“Olga helped me out and was very quick and friendly! Absolutely will be coming back again! Delicious food!“

“Great old fashion homestyle burgers/food… I really like this place“

“Fast. Fry were good and so is the sauce. Chicken was juicy.“

“Such a unique and elevated dining experience at such a reasonable price! The broths are amazing and the portion sizes are generous and hearty! Our only one and small complaint is the chairs indoors are a little uncomfortable but this place is an experience truly worth your time and money!“

“First time ever trying bao, and I am a new fan! There were many options and the staff was kind to help explain the flavors and help me decide. There were also many options for service sizes. You could purchase only one bao bun, or you could try multiples flavors, I personally was satisfied with 3 bao buns for a meal. The shop is quite small inside so I wouldn’t suggest bringing a large group, but the service was quick and easy to take togo, it is definitely worth a visit!“

“Wish there were more Five Guys locations around. Their burgers are SO much better than your average quick serve fare. Fries were solid too. We waited briefly to place our order bc there was no cashier present, and they weren’t super friendly when they did arrive, but I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area. 🍔 🍟“

“Broke my ankle here, like wicked-bad. Completely my own fault, because I can’t walk. 💯 on the staff being accommodating and helpful. Before this, they’ve always been amazing, too. Unless something changes, they will always be awesome.“

“Just ate there today with my brother and had the double bacon cheeseburger and it was amazing!!!!“

“In an unlikely location in the heart of the issues on 82nd this restaurant is my go to because of the great customef service which defines the phrase fastfood. You are in and out so fast that im impressed every time. Eating out has become a very expensive trip out for the individual and the family. This place howeve,r is reasonbly priced and the food is excellent -especially the rootbeer freeze -which is second to none. Check it out its worth the trip.

Parking: Easy to access with multiple entrances.its also easy to exit being in close proximity to a traffic light“

“A real gem in the university district! Having been to Hawaii and eaten authentic plate lunch I can assure you the other reviews are incorrect. The restaurant is clean and spacious. The food is prepared well, tastes excellent and is priced very reasonably for the large portions. Something hard to find in the area. Another rarity is the owners take the time to get to know their customers. You can expect to be asked if you want "the usual" if you dine more than a few times. It is refreshing to see hard working small business owners still making it work.“

“Had them for the first time and had it delivered. Had the big burito: Caritas, black beans, rice, lettuce and cheese. With hot sauce on the side. It was one of the best burritos I ever had.“

“Great Chick Fil A. Food is great like other locations. Crispy chicken. Fluffy buns. Very friendly staff.

They have the screen board with wait time, table time etc. Self service for kids drawing paper and crayons. They also provide one-time use serving mat for toddlers. Very considerate and thoughtful.

In this location, the game “spot the cow” is popular. Basically if kids under 10(?) find the cow in the store, they can claim a treat. Very fun.

Seats, booths, high tables in the store. Easy to find a table. Parking lot in the front. Convenient for everyone.“

“I visit this particular Five Guys often and I haven't had a bad experience yet. The employees are friendly, the food is freshly made, and you get to have peanuts while you wait for your food. If you're getting fries, I highly recommend the cajun fries. The banana milkshake is delicious and my husband loves their salted caramel milkshake. Bonus: they have Mello Yello.“

“It took the family here one afternoon. We haven't been in such a long time. Absolutely. Couldn't believe how huge of a root beer float. We got for only two dollars. Not only that, all of the food was perfectly prepared. Hot and delicious. It would always recommend.“

“Wow…what a great pizza! It’s definitely worth the trip! We had it last night and will definitely be doing that again! So many options, reasonable prices, and do not get me started on the taste! Support this local, PDX, small business. Their pizza is sooo much better than the commercial guys! And we love pizza! Hit up a delivery service if ya can’t make it there and have them bring it to you! It’s worth it. I promise!“

“Great veggie burger, quick and kind service! Shoutout to the employee who was working the drive through window around 12:15PM on 8/14/26 - they took the time to figure out what the veggie burger patty was made out of for me. Really sweet, seemed to go the extra mile, and I loved his cool leather jacket!“

“Super good food. TONS of vegan options. Friendly, fast, delicious. Located at The Lot so great outdoor seating.“

“I had the seared ahi tuna. So delicious 😍 Such a great environment to escape away on a Saturday or any day.“

“I'm special needs and I was having trouble with the app and David stepped up to the plate and helped me get my free burger he helped my anxiety go down and I felt comfortable around him while he was helping me very nice young man. Will be back soon great service!“

“Super clean environment. The person taking my order was very patient and helpful helping me choose since everything looked really good. Had the double western and it did not disappoint. Favorite burger by far. Also tried the new vanilla ice coffee and was surprisingly really good. I would definitely be back again.“

“This is the cleanest fast food restaurant on 82nd I've seen. Bathrooms are very clean, including parking lot. A lot of homeless people hang around out side due to the bus stop being right on the side walk near the building but had no issues with them. The service has been the fastest I've seen in a while less then 5 minutes after Ordering. Even when asked to site out front to wait for meal. Great place love their Oreo large shakes they have now they really hook it up. And the plus side is the drive thru is open 24 hours witch is great for that late night munchies.“

“The dogs are the best around, 👌 They have a good variety of flavourful toppings and it's always fresh yet quick!“

“I really liked my cheeseburger and the french fries were great too. My order was up for quite a while and no one told me. I had to ask where it was at because it was taking too long. And it was right in front of the guys face. But the food was really good.“

“Like most Carl’s Jr.’s the service is good to average, the burgers are great with high-quality ingredients from a fast food perspective.

I had a lettuce wrap a Big Carl with an extra Patty and a chicken patty too it was great!!“

“Absolutely one of my favorite teriyaki spots near Portland! The incredibly kind and welcoming lady that works the chash register members my order every time!! That kind of customer service is rare and it doesn't hurt the food/ portions are great.“

“the food just tastes good. burgers are always good. one weird thing, they dont sell coffee“

“Really great car shows , friendly people ....... and free also“

“Give it a try and enjoy their great selection of Mexican Food Enchiladas, chilaquiles, burritos, tortas, tacos, birria tacos, etc 👌🏼🤌🏼🙌🏼 Pictures coming soon...“

“The best tamales in Portland, and they are fresh and organic.“

“These lil pizzas are perfect for two people or one with a big appetite. No need to spend $50 on a whole pie when you can custom build your own to order and have it come up super fast. Next time I order a thin crust I might ask them to bake it longer so it achieves the crunch that was missing today. The choices are vast for each category. If you aren't the type to wing it, I'd suggest looking up the options beforehand.
There is a large patio outdoors as opposed to the highly industrial interior of exposed metal beams. Staff was friendly and efficient, patient with an obviously new customer.“

“Hell yeah, taco bell is already the bomb. On top of the fine food, this nice black man called me by name to had me my food. He cares, and he showed ip to work today. I appreciate him.
Moreover, the sauce packet station was clean and organized.“

“Quick drive through service. great food, friendly employees.“

“Jalapeno poppers are life.“

“Fun little spot! I stopped in for pizza 🍕 week 2026. Their slice called Happiness is a Shawarm Gun was quite tasty. Many people were ordering different slices from pizza week so that tells me that their regular fare must be good. Prices were quite reasonable ❣️ My slice plus a white claw was $10. They do not have a full variety, in case that is of interest to anyone.“

“Love this place!!! It is consistently fresh and doesn’t take long to get your bowl!!!“

“I’m going to start off by saying I usually do not go to Carl’s Junior. I’m not a huge fast food fan but I was really impressed by this visit.
I was very indecisive, but Edgar helped explain the menu to me and gave me great suggestions. He suggested the Cali XL and it was SO GOOD!! He was so friendly, accommodating, helpful and gave really great suggestions. Usually when I go to fast food spots I can expect basic friendly service but it’s very clear that Edgar is passionate about his work. I am blown away by how exceptional his service skills were. Every suggestion from the meal to the drinks and treats were phenomenal. I will definitely coming back, hoping that Edgar is there, and trying more on the menu! I hope his service is recognized and that the other workers can follow because I am very pleased with this location!“

“It was very clean people are very nice got my Pizza fast and very GOOD“

“Amazing experience! Even though their hours are temporarily restricted, they were very kind and I was fortunate to be the LAST car in the drive through! And the food, as always, is yummy and my kind of comfort food!! Especially after a long day (a Monday no less)!! Thank you!“

“This is always a solid choice with high quality food. It's very expensive now, the same as a sit-down restaurant. So as long as you know that going in you'll be fine.

Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian options such as their veggie burger and of course fries. If you eat seafood, there's also good halibut choices“

“Always my favorite part of the day seeing them 😊“
