50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Portland

“Pros: above average smashburger and great fries
Cons: A regular sized double smash burger and small order of fries takes a hard hour.

This is a great burger to try for your smashburger leaderboard but is sadly not a serious place for people to eat food in any reasonable span of time, especially when PDX has a dozen other phenomenal burger joints.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The only negative is I'm from Canada and can't come here all the time.
I had the double burger and the nuggie and was gifted a strawberry shake. Everything was perfect. I have no notes.
Open a location closer to Canada is my note.
Great prices, great quality, great service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

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

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

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

“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!!“

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

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

“I never thought I would be writing a review for Evergreens at PDX but here it goes. After being delayed for hours, JetBlue gave me a voucher for some food. They don’t make it easy as you have to link your personal credit card in order to use it. I did not understand this at first. Shout out to the super kind manager (I failed to get his name) that gave me the food and told me that if I was able to get the voucher to work, then I could use it at a later time. In a world full of depressing stories, it is small kindness like this that gives me hope. I was able to get the voucher to work and I went back to pay. Thank you so much! Highly recommended!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Gloria was so incredibly kind and helpful and courteous. Carl’s Jr. is lucky to have her. She was patient and went out of her way to help me with a complex order. I would definitely come back here just because the staff is so nice.“

“Love this place, great people working here with delicious food and right next to a place to get a good drink and eat with friends outside, or to quickly grab a bite. Even if it's a burger place, I can't help but recommend the nuggs, they're the best.“

“This is the spot you will want to expose any out of town guests to Portland. Menu is amazing. The bomba salad is one of the best salads in town. They go light on the meat and heavy on the vegetables which leaves you full and satisfied. Cocktail program and now bunch. Make a reservation for sure.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“So I haven’t had a problem at this location until the day and it’s not really a big problem. It’s just the guy running the drive-through talk so fast you can’t understand what he says and then he can’t understand what you say.
After I ordered my big Carls with a Sprite and some ranch dip to go with my combo when my order came out, he handed me the bag and said OK. Have a nice day and I’m like my sprite. After he finally gave me my sprite I leave go park somewhere to eat and there’s no ranch dressing for my fries. That kid needs to slow down, speak clearly and listen to what people are saying. I’d repeat my order to three times it’s not that difficult of an order. I almost forgot. He only gave me one napkin one and I got a double big Carls. You know how far that one napkins gonna go. You need to teach the kids how to run the drive-through“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“This is the best Popeyes in Portland and has been for a long time I grew up in the neighborhood. They have never failed me. They are locally known as the best Popeyes. thank you to the team for being so efficient and continuously being that way“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I don’t really ever post any reviews but I really wanted to make a review after the amazing service the 4 men working provided (2 in the front and the 2 in the kitchen) today around 250pm. They were super kind, receptive and helpful today. Thank you for making my day better!! 🩵“

“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.“

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

“I'm really disappointed with Rudy the Manager at this location. I came to use my reward for the 25% milkshake which is good from 2pm - 5pm. I arrived at 2pm exactly. I made my order and scanned my QR code for the discount. When I noticed my charge on the screen, which already went through the total charge was still the regular price. They told me that the register was still showing 1:55pm and that they couldn't honor the discount. I told him it's 2pm already and that it's doesn't specify on the app that it has to show 2pm on their registers. I told him I wanted a refund, he argued with me and almost told me he can't refund me. I told Rudy that it's very misleading. As a Manager, he could've just refunded me and recharged me again for another milkshake with the discount since it's 2pm. He tried to tell me he couldn't refund but I stood my ground. He eventually gave me my refund. I will never patronize this location ever. Screw Carl's Jr and their stupid app. 🙄“

“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!“

“Dank bird. Love it! Really love it.“

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

“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.“

“I stop here pretty regularly to get a quick lunch and never regret it. Recently got the diablo burger and my lord it was delicious and very spicy. One of the few day food places that generally still have someone standing at the register and don't just walk past you as if you aren't there for 10 minutes. Good job carls jr“

“thanks for the food! sorry to the person who took my order at the drive thru tonight. I placed my order like it was my first day on earth. I just got off work and I swear to god it felt like I had half a brain cell left floating around inside my head like a desktop screensaver. anyway, yall work hard and I appreciate you being patient with me while I remembered how to connect my mouth to my brain 👍“

“Si la compañía no come.. pos no Ai. Negosio“

“Do NOT order delivery. Only order in-store. Workers are clearly being pressured by higher-ups to skimp on delivery orders. You will get a barren slab of pizza crust with a light dusting of ingredients, and you will pay a premium for it. In-store the pizza is fantastic.“

“Store 038562 is very clean and nice looking
Employee T is very respectful and very helpful. It was my first time in Pizza Hut and she helped me alot by giving me choices and letting me pick out my deal. Good job to the team at store 038562 keep up the good work. Yall will forever have a customer in me and Thank you so much T for the help.“

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

“We have only had good experiences here. Staff is friendly and food is hot. The dining area and restrooms are clean. A bit pricy but worth it for an occasional treat. I wish they would pick the music they are playing instead of having loud music in the back and another complet different music in the lobby very confusing and overwhelming“
