50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Portland

“I hate to put this here because you reading this means I wait longer next time I order.... Alas, credit where it is due. Rightfully so in my top three burger places in PDX. My top place for smash burgers. B.Y.H. was but the prices and longer wait times drove me away. Life hack: walk up and order. Then, walk across the street and get an iced awesomeness, or hit the Oakshire up for an adult bevie while you wait. When the brick and mortar is open, I am sure the wait times will drop. Still though, don't forget their neighbors for dessert or nightcaps.“

“We happened upon this place while walking back to our hotel from the Roseland theater, but I would drive an hour to eat here again! The Dolma salad was overflowing with dolmas, tons of parsley, fresh veggies, a large helping of humus, tzatziki and a generous sprinkle of sumac. We truly enjoyed it.“

“The food was excellent and made to perfection! The staff were very inviting and so friendly. They treated us like we were family. An extremely pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“A simple menu of a few fast food basics, done well, at a fair price. I'm not usually a huge fan of 'beef' patties but these are very good - not too thick and blend into the overall burger nicely. The cheeseburger was a nostalgic experience for me. The nuggets and shakes are delicious. Updated from previous review on 2026-04-27“

“Burger was on point, fries were cooked perfectly and everything came out hot. That being said the person at the front counter was less then welcoming. They didn't say anything and rolled their eyes at me twice while I was trying to order. When you're wearing a mask there's not a lot to go off of. Needless to say next time I will get it to go and tip the kitchen staff personally“

“Excellent Bahn Mi (we had the Char Sui Pork) and yummy MoMo! We had the ones in a curry sauce.
We like spicy so we added the hot sauce for an extra kick!
The space is small and not fancy but very clean.
Service is excellent! Highly recommend!“

“I stopped here to have some dumplings for lunch and I'm so glad I did. The dumplings were amazing. I also got two different sauces on the side, one mild and one hot, and both were great with the dumplings. I'm so glad I discovered one of the best dumpling spots in the area.“

“We came here after a concert, food was great and served in less than 10min given there were just two of us and didnt order a lot of food. and customer service was good too. Atmosphere is outside, clean área, benches to sit. Yes, there is a pay to park parking lot área which can be limited when busy.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“The staff working this afternoon (5/8/26) were very friendly and helpful and asked great questions to ensure my salad was prepared as requested. I would say the service was above and beyond and the food is healthy and fresh. I would definitely go here again on my next trip!“

“Right off the freeway, super easy to get on and off the freeway from here. My son and I got a late night meal here after a Weird Al concert on Thursday Aug 14 2025. We were hungry and about 40 miles away from home, we got off the freeway, got our food and got back on the freeway in about 10 min. Food was fresh, served fast and super tasty. Thank you“

“Hands-down, best burger place I’ve been here in Portland area! Second time going this week after trying it for the first tim. Super friendly staff, and I usually don’t buy burgers or sandwiches cause I may can make a better one at home. I cannot re-create this delicious burger, great price, great taste, good vibes. Our fave is the deluxe boi burger, Crinkle fries With their seasoning are super Yum Yum, And love the chicken nuggets with nacho cheese. Highly highly recommend!“

“Great experience here! Always hot and fresh food.“

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

“This was one of the most enchanting, beautiful and downright fun meals I've had in Portland. We've lived down Hawthorne from this place for forever and finally tried it and it was SUCH a delight.

The portions. The atmosphere. The flavors. The presentation. The friendliness!

I ordered the seafood ramen and the best way I can encapsulate it is this: if you ever find yourself going on a first - no, SECOND - date with someone, come here and share the seafood ramen together. You will discover so much about each other.

This ramen is layers on layers on layers. It is endless. You will discover sea creatures you didn't know existed. It is a bounty. It is a treasure chest. It is a journey.

The whole experience was just so magical. Everything from the wonderful staff helping us pick out menu items, to the sake flight, to the gigantic and gorgeous ramen bowls, was perfection ❤️❤️❤️“

“I cannot say enough good things about love shack. The servers are always incredible, always great to chat with. The menu is creative and has a variety of many different things. The ribeye skewers and oysters live in my head rent free. We celebrated my birthday there this past week and they made it extra special.

I believe Johnny was the name of our server, and he was the best! I made a note on our reservation about how we knew we wanted oysters and he had 2 dozen ready for us when we got there. 10/10 as always, thank you Love Shack!“

“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“

“This is how fast food should be done. Granted, the wait is often way longer than it should be, but I can't justify removing a star for that alone. The burgers are INCREDIBLE! They use great ingredients and keep it simple. The cheese is melted, the patties are charred perfectly, and the sauce and veggies are wayyy better than those at other burger joints. Despite slightly high prices and outrageously long lines and wait times, this place gets 5 stars without hesitation.“

“Wanted to try something new and this place looked great. Staff were super nice, the vibe inside was amazing and the Cold Noodles + 2 Bao was so good! I had two pork buns and the flavor was delicious, easily the best I’ve had! The sauce for the Cold Noodles was great, with just the right amount spice to make every bite taste wonderful. $19 and I left feeling stuffed, great portion sizes! Plus, or food came out surprisingly fast, didn’t even feel like 5minutes before it was brought to us.
Definitely plan to come 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.“

“Everything everywhere is over the head expensive including this place but since everything is that was my only complaint about Carl's Jr and Hardee's is that it's expensive otherwise my opinion is the best tasting fast food customer service is just what you would expect and on this visit service was excellent people were friendly and I had no issues“

“This Jersey Mike’s has amazing subs! I have come here quite a bit since they have opened and I love getting their chicken bacon ranch and their clubs!“

“Very well made food. The fries were hot and crispy. it came with the right amount of salt and ketchup packets. The drive through staff was nice and friendly and I did not have to wait long for the fresh chicken patty yum. The only thing was the trash people left around the building made it kinda displeasing.“

“Hot delicious food (had a mushroom burger). Super clean lobby and really, really great service“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“It's the sandwiche shop,but the meat is freshly sliced for every sandwich. They're very careful about crossing contamination with dietary restrictions. Which is very important when someone at home has celiac disease. The staff is very kind and accommodating. They are so popular that it gets a bit busy at lunch.“

“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.“

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

“I've had Jake Brake a few times now since moving nearby. I've tried several options recommended by Pan and enjoyed each. I absolutely have to recommend the baked chicken and French toast stacker. They were quick and professional, and seem to stay on top of things even when it's busy. Definitely going to keep returning!“

“You know it, they have good burgers!!!

Sometimes a little slow, so be sure you go at the right times.

I had an issue with my order once here, and they made it right immediately for me to fix it! Great customer service!“

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

“Solid teriyaki, consistent, flavorful, good portions, and a great place that has lasted and endured. I like the salad, the vibe, a great lunch spot. Call it in and just know it’s popular and busy, it’s worth it. It’s busy for a reason and they usually have it on point during the rush. Great community, and like I said, solid. You know if you go, and if you go, you know.“

“This is some of the best Indian food flavors in Portland, and it’s in the mall food court! Very generous portions, great prices and very friendly service! I highly recommend Bombay Wala! Thank you for all the “extras” and such wonderful food!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“We were just looking at the juices to see what they had and she got us a couple samples to help us decide what we want. They were all good but the banana was amazing. My only regret is I didn't get my own and my girls drank it so fast. We will be back.“

“This is best shaved ice on the west side! I love the mango since it has both fresh slices of mango and mango jelly. The staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“I swear this McDonald’s location has the NICEST, friendliest, sweetest workers out of any fast food place I’ve ever been. I can’t express enough how enjoyable it is to speak to people here. Every time I’ve come in the last two years, I leave happy! :)“

“Mod is one is the best, how can you go wrong when you choose all your own ingredients?!

It's a shame how expensive everything is. I can't justify spending $14 a pizza now when not long ago l used to get the same for under $8!“

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

“I called about a catering order and the manager took like 15 minutes to help and answer questions. Highly recommend!“

“I love this location, the food is consistently great and service is impeccable. Particularly, Aurora is always amiable and kind, even when I have dined in the late hours of the night. The dining area is spotless and I have literally nothing to complain about. I would HIGHLY recommend visiting this location, you will not be disappointed.“

“Got here a half hour before midnight. The guy at the drive thru was super nice, and patient as we had a family coming home from the airport so you can imagine what ordering was like. Super pleasant, food was prepared well - like commercial worthy - I hope these folks take this much pride in their job all the time because I was definitely impressed.“

“I visited this location on Wednesday, 3/18 around 1:30 (for the higher powers that be) before our flight - these three workers need a raise! MOD pizza is always good but what really stood out was them busting their butts! It was so busy and all three did not stop moving. They were working so hard to keep up with all the orders and had a great positive attitude! 🙏“
