7 Best Fast Food Restaurants in The Dalles

“1961. The Farthing coin is discontinued, Barbie meets Ken, To Kill a Mockingbird is published… All overshadowed by the single greatest moment in hamburger history: The first Burgerville opens its doors. 40 franchises later, the restaurant is a watering hole, where, cheek by jowl, digital nomads & dirt-handed lumber-luggers jostle at the feed bucket like so many hungry hippos. But Burgerville is more than a restaurant.

For me, it was a wet nurse. An au pair in the absence of patty-peddling parents. Nursed on the teat of a strawberry shake, pampered in the creases of a Kaiser bun, I was Burgerville-nourished since nascency.

Back in the Beaver State, I recently made the prosaic trek from the Emerald City to the Silicon Forest. Though stippled with glimpses of rusticated bucolism, the drive lacks the zest that BV reliably delivers. Past the Randy Pape beltline, somewhere between Lebanon & “the grass seed capital of the world,” I sensed it was time to chow. I Pulled up to the city of crows & Four minutes later I was tailgating with my teeth in a No. 6 & my hand around a raspberry shake. Mmm! Hearthy undertones with plucky punches of piquancy. At the behest of the BV signature sauce, a stalwart patty & its troop of fresh vegetation masqueraded through the dark chambers of my mouth. A wonder all but forgotten as the first sip of raspberry refreshment filled me with summer fruit fields & a longing for more. The meal clung to my tongue & danced in my head the whole way back to Little Beirut.

On the whole, I’d liken it to this Honda Odyssey: a reliable beast built to make memories; take it out of the picture & the Western family collapses. Bonus points for a tidy bathroom. My best to you & yours.“

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

“I came in between 10:40 and 11AM. I had a build your own MOD. Dallas was AMAZING. Her customer service was very friendly, toppings were great, she had wonderful positive and friendly energy. By far she is my favorite pizza maker from all the locations I visit in Central and Eastern Oregon. I travel a lot for work and MOD is my go to lunch pick. The Dalles will be my #1 choice for MOD locations. Thank you Dallas for being such a great pizza maker and a nice person. Small acts of kindness can makes such a big difference in someone’s day.“

“We had a great experience at the Subway in Boardman Oregon
The staff was super friendly and they made me a really good size wrap
It was delicious and satisfying! And they have 24 grams of protein so it was a real score! A good little travel meal
Made the drive home more fun!“

“Honestly it has been years since I have sat inside a McDonalds. It was a rare visit when I was a kid. I dont take my kids to fast food all at often because of the quality of food. But this visit was super nice. The inside playground was well maintained. Super clean. Separate from the main sit down so the kids could be loud (mine kept it minimal but it was nice to not interrupt those without kids). The service was 100% on point. They walked the food out to us. They checked on us. Customer service was exceptional. The food was fresh as well which is always soo nice. Friendly staff. Smiles everywhere. A reminder to support our local businesses who support our youth ❤ Thank you for the pleasant visit.“

“awesome food very friendly staff and not that expensive at all, when you order a meal you get to choose your own drink size you want after you pay.“
