50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Pittsburgh

“Outstanding food and great for takeout. They have seating, but it’s in the dive category for eating in. That’s not a bad thing. I love dives. But don’t expect fine dining. The people running the place are super courteous and prices are fair. Will definitely repeat!“

“I couldn't decide which loaded potato to get, so I asked what the most egregious thing on the menu is. They recommended the pot roast potato, which was definitely the right answer. It's an entire holiday dinner jammed into the biggest potato I've ever seen. It was at least half the size of my head. It cost $13, which seemed like a lot until I actually got it: this thing is a whole meal. Fantastic service, great recommendation, delicious potato. 10/10.“

“My wife and I had take-out this weekend. We had brown rice with meatballs and beef. We were so pleased that we are returning to sample the rest of the menu.. The interaction with the owner was positive and informative. Treat your palate to this adventure.“

“I’ve been lucky to travel and eat incredible dishes from all over the world. It’s so cool that I can still be absolutely blindsided by a dish. The Arepas Cabimera were truly special. The most texturally satisfying dish I’ve had in a long time. Amazing hospitality too!“

“Four years ago we would drive to Cranberry because this store was painfully slow. I have visited twice in the last month and everything has been quick and correct. Staff are very nice and the food is always fresh. The updated drive-thru makes things faster and the drive up (to my amazement) was a 5-10 min wait, during the lunch rush. Highly recommend.“

“My catering order was prepared today so nicely.. I love this Chick -fil-A, they have great customer service, their staff is amazing
Bronzetta, Daniela and Raven are wonderful!! Great job Chick-fil-A keeping the bars raised for hiring people that take pride in their work ethics.
Forever customer CB.“

“Absolutely the best Italian beef I’ve had since Chicago! Curtis and staff are always friendly and welcoming! This will always be a regular spot for me!“

“AMAZING FOOD!!! Everything is so fresh! They change their frying oil EVERY DAY… that is unheard of in the restaurant industry!! Also, my salad was super fresh, like veggies just cut fresh! Fried Oreo’s are the best we have had & as good as when we ate at the E Carson location!! This location & the Southside location are both great!! Fantastic owner’s & employees… they are always pleasant & accommodating!!! 1000% MUST TRY… trust me!!! Oh & they are open super late!!!!

Kid-friendliness: Booths in the back to dine in with family!!!“

“I had the best food last evrything was great the food the service thank you“

“Who doesn't like ChickFilA? It's a staple in the quest for great fast food. Is it healthier than McD's? Just by a small margin because grease is grease no matter what you're cooking or how you are cooking it. And Those Delicious Waffle Fries, fried in grease and totally all carbs.

Parking: Park wherever you'd like, but the drive thru works like a well oiled machine. It's amazing. He's using the same management techniques as Disney does. I know cause I attended Disney's College of Knowledge and was interviewed by Chick-fil-A. So, I see lot's of similarities.THE BEST CHOICE FOR FAST FOOD WITH A SMILE ?!“

“Holy crap, was this chicken good. Cole slaw and garlic bread and fries. Really rounds out the meal. Place was packed at 10 on a Monday. It is a college town and they were college kids, but it was still really good. And perfect after concert food.“

“I went to this fine establishment this past week. I was greeted ever so nicely by a beautiful girl with the name tag "LUCY". She was honestly very modest and lovely. She made great small talk with me and took my order so efficiently. The quickest I've ever received fast food. amazing. praise the Lord! Then, when I received my meal, yet again she was the one handing it to me. Horrah, I was thrilled! Thank you Lucy, for your service here. I hope they are paying you well. :)“

“Best fried chicken in the town“

“I ordered takeout from Layne's around 5:30PM on a Monday evening. Honestly, I didn't want to cook after a busy weekend. I ordered five meals: three three-finger baskets and two four-finger baskets. My son and I were able to park on Forbes right in front of Layne's, walk in with no wait. There were two employees working, and they immediately asked to help and serve us. The young lady also helped me use my Astro points (because I couldn't figure it out on the app). Our food was prepared and served quickly and everything was hot and fresh. My family LOVED our Monday night dinner from Layne's-- especially the Layne's sauce and crinkle fries! This quick dinner was a great idea! Thank you, Layne's!“

“I want to give a shout-out to Jay the manager for making the store brighten. Food is amazing very respectful man outstanding , very good leader very well customer service. I will mev r stop eating there I appreciate him in our community of the hill distric“

“We went in for some fries at 11am which was right before the lunch rush began. It took a little longer than expected even though I know that they cook them fresh. As we ate them, I realized that most of them were hard while several were quite dark. I'm not particularly a fan. It would have been nice to get some different fries, but I didn't have time to say anything.“

“Only go once a year...Cheat. Right across from New Balance where I go to buy SUMMER shoes every CINCO de mayo.“

“Chick-Fil-A at The Mall at Robinson is a fantastic place. The service is excellent and so is the service. Jay Yanak, who is the manager, is one of the nicest managers that you will ever see. The workers here are very friendly. I will be going there in the future.“

“Can’t come back home from Dallas without going to the hot dog shoppe!!!! Makes me extremely happy!!!!!“

“I went here this afternoon for lunch with my mom and twins. It was the most professional McDonald's I have ever been too. The employees made the food quick and the order was correct. The gentleman who walks around helping people in the dining room was great and very helpful considering my twins are a handful. This was the best McDonald's experience Ive ever had.“

“Just here to state that the person review under this is a complete and utter lie. I don’t know when the last time you may have visited this store but it was definitely not a week ago. May god bless you in ways to help you with your situation in life and guide you on a path of honesty and righteousness. This store has gone through many obstacles to be where they are now and I’ve watched them as a repeat customer get better and better so please reframe slandering this place for whatever reason you may have“

“Daughter got the steak rice bowl and loved it. Wife got the fajita burrito and loved it and I got the chimichunga and it was amazing. We also shared the guac and chips and that was excellent!

Overall the price is good and the food is big. This is definitely our go to place when at the mall!“

“Manager of Scott Township is wonderful! He drove part of my missing order down to me (we share the same plaza). Just wanted to express my gratitude. Thanks again for being awesome :)“

“Very good food fast moving food“

“Probably one of the top places to get a good burger in PA. No, I'm not kidding. They deserve McDonald's fame, given that MCD sucks and should be replaced by this place. The employees are very friendly and nice. I'll definitely keep coming back.“

“fast friendly service good prices. clean.“

“One of the friendliest drive thru staff during dinner/late night you'll find in the Pittsburgh area. Kudos to them for always (at least) seeming like they care about ya. I worked restaurants for 13 years. I know it's hard to wear that hat day in & day out.“

“I've been to many, many different Jersey Mike's around the entire country - even the original one in Point Pleasant. The staff do a phenomenal job here and make this place the best one out of all the ones I've been to. It's always clean, the food is really good, and service is top notch. Over several visits the last few months it's been consistent too. This is a well deserved 5 stars. Thank you!!!“

“Great burgers , fries & milkshakes“

“Just went through the drive thru! It was close to their closing time, I just got off work from my job, so with nothing ever open after 11 pm. or 12:00 pm. I ended up there! The employees (2) were very polite & also made sure we had what i ordered. Some employees, by the end, like near closing time, usually rude or seem to rush through, and I would end up with everything that I would have ordered!

Wheelchair accessibility: It has plenty of ramps and wide doorways, so wheelchairs can get up on the curb, go in the doorway & the counters are a good height just so they are able to order on his on!“

“I love this place, I really do. Today was different though. I waited nearly 30 minutes for my food, but I will say the food was incredible. The service was not good. The person at the counter was utterly disinterested and was on their phone, my order did not initially go through their paging system (Best way I could describe it). The strips were amazing though. Today I just had bad service I guess. The employee at the register was busy on his phone and seemed annoyed with the presence of customers

I will return. Perhaps this employee was having a bad day. The fried pickles were a little salty but they were excellent with the chicken strips. 8/10.“

“I hardly ever do reviews because I feel like when you do a negative one nothing ever gets done and we need to do a positive one. There’s no recognization, but I have never had a good turnout coming to this Taco Bell. The employees are extremely hateful, rude unhappy they never want to fix an issue other than make you feel guilty for making a mistake on your order, the last time I was at Taco Bell I sat in the drive-through line for 22 minutes and did not move I was late going back to work and unfortunately did not get any lunch that day today. I took the chance of going back today and I met the sweetest person sunny if there is one thing I want the manager to look at is Sonny’s personality. She is the sweetest person that has ever blessed that store. She needs to be in charged here“

“Came here after dealing with another locations horrible service. Put in my large order and man the proficiency of this place is great. The staff are so friendly and applied for extra minutes wait when not needed it was a large order. Everyone loves taco bell come here.

Vegetarian options: Has large selection of non meat options and can make anything to non meat for you

Parking: Lots of spots to park.

Wheelchair accessibility: Has ramps near door that I could see“

“Great service & pizza was delicious.“

“I order from here all the time because the sandwiches are delicious! Today, they forgot the mayo and pepper relish on both of our sandwiches so they were very dry and boring. I like to order online to customize my sandwich but what's the point if they skip the ingredients you want to add??“

“Harmarville location was my family's savior today! Sonics in Pgh Mills never took our order so we went to Burger King and our grandchildren were VERY happy! There was a long line (it was 1p) but it moved very fast about 3 min. And we had our food they got the food right even with my picky grandson. Thank you for saving the day!“

“employees are pleasant and efficient

Parking: parking lot is set up poorly but there is a parking lot, there is a HUGE pot hole at the parking lot entrance that needs filled

Kid-friendliness: kid's meals“

“As a long time follower of the Liver King, I had long contemplated starting out a raw meat diet for its numerous health benefits. I I really didn’t expect today to be the day I would start, but oh boy was I delighted! When I came to this Arbys to order a crispy chicken sandwich, I truely thought I would have a normal experience- and while the chicken looked normal from the outside, I was quite enamored by what I found inside! Raw chicken! What a delight! My life is forever changed thanks to this arby’s. You know what they say, arby’s has the meats and boy are they raw!“

“I LOVE this place. I am so mad they closed the other locations. The staff here is nice and they give you a good portion of food. I always get a bowl and I never leave hungry. Sometimes they have to wrap the bowl with cyran wrap so it doesn't come apart. Also, the food tastes so good. They have NEVER gotten my mobile order wrong . I can't say the same for the other popular competitor that.

Vegetarian options: You pick and choose what you want in the food. So you can just NOT add meat to any option.“

“I only come for breakfast, but they are ALWAYS consistently good. The woman taking payment is very sweet and the people at the food window have always been a pleasure. The breakfast food is always consistently good and I’ve ordered it A LOT. No complaints.“

“This is not my first experience at Papa John's pizza. However, this is my first time going to Papa John's Pizza on Babcock boulevard. I have to say that I am very impressed with the quality, customer service, and price of food on a busy Friday night. My food was well made. My food was piping hot. My food was reasonably priced at 3 large two toppings each pizza for just $35! Came with plenty paper plates and napkins. Most importantly, my food was absolutely delicious! Thanks to the kind gentleman that waited on my husband. He talked about how friendly you were for the whole car ride home! Good service is hard to find nowadays but you pitched it right to us! I will be a returning customer!“

“I haven't received my meal yet. I'm a senior citizen 1st time delivery customer. I called with concerns about my order. The young lady(Carley) assisted me was courteous, kind and patient with me. I wanted to publicly say thank you and acknowledge your work ethic. Management reward this young lady.“

“Last night we went to the drive thru and ordered a bake potato, they were sadly out of it but didn’t know that until we paid and got to the window. Shawn went above and beyond our expectations to make sure we were given good service, he offered anything we wanted and was very apologetic. Thank you Shawn for your great service!“

“my favorite food is the salad the most because it's more healthy than anything else. I ordered from you guys today and the girl from the register she did not put any souce in my bag of food for my French fries.“

“I was wondering why people kept turning left across two lanes of traffic to get to this McDonald's, so I went. Fast service, nothing incorrect with our order, breakfast sandwich so hot and fresh the cheese actually melted. A+ McDonald's.“

“Haven’t eaten TB in years and my first visit back did not disappoint! Staff was super friendly, even double checked an add on request when I got to DT speaker. Drink wasn’t sitting with ice melting they filled cup after handing me my food, and gave plenty of sauce! It’s little things like that that make a difference! Will definitely be back! Thanks everyone you did a great job!“

“Already had rated this location 5 stars but coming back after another great experience. My mom called and asked for two cats on a birthday cake - the woman working let her know she would likely have trouble fitting two cats. My mom asked if they could please try and let me tell you - they did a PHENOMENAL job. Not only did they fit both cats, they just happen to look EXACTLY like my cats. They also did this without seeing a picture of them. We were over the moon, my mom said she almost got teary eyed LOL. Absolutely get your ice cream cake here! AmazIng job!!“

“The Young Man and the Young Lady AT this store is ALWAYS Very Helpful to me Always When I come to this Restaurant They ALL help me with my food order Always Very Good and they Are All Very Good Young Men And Young Ladys and they ALL heLp me Always When I come to the Restaurant and They Don't Rush me THEY Let Me take my time and Help me Get my Food order And They Are ALL VERY Friendly Young People WHO Work here and that's Why I Like Going here And They ALL Show Respect TOO Everyone And They Are Just VERY GOOD AMEN ?✡️?️‍?☮️??“

“The manager, Matt, is a damn good guy. Food is always on point, employees seem to actually enjoy being there and that translates to epic service - every time. highly recommend this Firehouse.

Vegetarian options: I think they only have one veggie sub and maybe salads... My brother's a vegetarian and he enjoyed his sub

Parking: It's in a strip mall - type plaza with a shared lot. Plenty spots.

Kid-friendliness: It's a sub joint, about as kid friendly as it gets. Plenty of room for strollers too.“
