50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Austin

“Amazing food and awesome service! The beef shawarma is my go to and it’s always SO juicy, flavorful, and saucy! Absolutely delicious. The falafels were incredible too! So crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection! Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot on 620!“

“This food is amazing, and I'm not even vegan! Michael was super nice and gave me a free cookie. The BBQ plate looked, smelled, and tasted soooooo good. Vibes are great, and there's outdoor seating too for when it's not 105°F outside. Highly recommend for vegan and non-vegans alike!“

“Best burger and fries in the entire great state of Texas. Come to DFW P. Terry’s! We need your greatness!“

“Hey, this is always my go-to choice for tacos whenever I have to eat some in Austin and all. Their locations have really high quality food and very spicy salsas. The menu is pretty much remembered in my head by now. I really like the mole stuff and also anything with chicken and hard to spell words like fernando fernandino. You'll see once you go in order. They're all really good.“

“My large online order didn’t go through and I had no idea. I arrived at 8:20 and needed my order by 8:50. Eric at the Gracy Farms location didn’t hesitate- he asked me my order size and communicated with the kitchen to ensure they could complete my order in time for my 9AM meeting. All 50 tacos were ready by 8:40 and Eric helped me carry them out to my car. Excellent service from an Austin classic!“

“The food was so good. the wagyu burger is a must try. loved the bacon cheeseburger with bacon and grilled onions. nice atmosphere. we chose to sit outside. walking distance from sight seeing on the bridge.“

“We had a wonderful experience Gabriel Culiat will highly recommend this establishment to friends and family. Food was delicious and the service was amazing. Thanks“

“Been steady customer but last couple visits it's very obvious burger patty has become noticeably thinner and dry--- going back to Dan's!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Try for Chicago Dog Fans! We had an awesome lunch from Midway Dogs, a Chicago-style food truck that absolutely delivers on flavor and authenticity. The Chicago dogs were spot on—delicious, perfectly made, and just like you’d expect from the Windy City. On top of the great food, we had the pleasure of chatting with the co-owners, Bonita and James. They’re incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. It felt more like catching up with friends than ordering lunch. Can’t wait to go back for more amazing food and conversation. Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving a true taste of Chicago!“

“Best burger and fries in the entire great state of Texas. Come to DFW P. Terry’s! We need your greatness!“

“G Bob's is my dinner at least once a week. I've had everything on the menu. Nothing disappoints, so you want a Mediterranean meal, check out G'bobs food truck!!! 😁“

“Tried the Elote Dog and the Mad Dog with the spicy link, both were absolutely amazing! It was my first visit, and I’m already planning to come back to explore more of the menu. Great prices and super convenient location near campus. Highly recommend!“

“Great vegan burger. now we need is Vegan fries. 😁“

“I finally did one of the most Austin/McConaughey things I could do. I stopped at Top Notch Burgers in North Austin and snatched up the famous jalapeño burger and fries that apparently Wooderson ordered in the 90s movie classic Dazed and Confused.
The burger joint with dine in and carry out still has the drive in options creating a classic throwback serving fast and delish eats.
Whether you’re visiting Austin or live here, if you don’t have this in your list of places to hit up, as Wooderson would say, “it’d be a lot cooler if you did”.“

“As always, the staff was very friendly and professional. Food was great, but I’m sure you already knew that.“

“I loved this Dairy Queen, it was so clean and the staff were so friendly! I loved everything they do, showing the history of the franchise with mementos and his to their history. Showcasing the owner’s and supporting the community and even having cute little signs to save ketchup! Everything was amazing! I will definitely be recommending this spot for all my late night ice cream cravings!“

“I recommend combo fries I love it“

“Me encanto andaba de vacaciones de Miami y fuimos a cenar las hamburguesas riquísima y la atención súper“

“Super friendly! Great service“

“I was very excited to find this location in Austin, as there are no others in the area. It was so good! Haven’t had it in a while since today!“

“My girlfriend and I were looking for a good burrito and this place kept coming up in other comments and searches and it did NOT disappoint. The food came quick it was hot service was great! 10/10 would recommend and if you come across it definitely stop and get some!“

“The food is very good (I love the whole wheat tortillas the best), however, the staff is EXCEPTIONAL. So amazing! I was having the worst day when I came in, and Sunshine (apt name) made me feel so much better! The cashier was also super friendly and kind. I'm glad I came in at that time, and I will definitely be back“

“Delays happen in this industry but rude staff should not be tolerated. Zero sympathy for patrons waiting and met with a smirk on the face stating have a nice day doesn’t come across well to multiple customers including me. Good luck with your growth plans since the staff you employee can’t seem to service your existing locations. What took so long to build is hard to hold onto unless you address your shortcomings, competition is good.

Follow up 1 week later: Today I gave Taco Deli a 2nd chance and they exceeded my expectations. Service was great and food was very good. If I’m going to ding them for something bad I better give them props for something good.“

“I loved this Dairy Queen, it was so clean and the staff were so friendly! I loved everything they do, showing the history of the franchise with mementos and his to their history. Showcasing the owner’s and supporting the community and even having cute little signs to save ketchup! Everything was amazing! I will definitely be recommending this spot for all my late night ice cream cravings!“

“Took over the old Quiznos. Varied sandwich and salad menu and boba tea! Well made with fresh ingredients and a very friendly staff. Highly recommended for a good lunch or anytime you need a sandwich .“

“I will never go into this Popeye’s location ever again. Disgusting, dirty, horrible service inside. Most of the people in there were either on drugs or insane. Half the sodas were out, no lids. All they care about is the drive-thru, no desire to take care of things in the dining area. I tried to find some water to clean the mess & dried catsup off my table, but there was some homeless guy in the bathroom with his dog (yes, dog in the restaurant). So I tried to get water from the soda fountain, but water wasn’t dispensing. Line of people 10 deep, no one taking orders in front. People were getting rude and irritated. One guy got kinda hostile and mouthy. It took 30mins to get my order...and I had to ask them for it. My mashed potatoes were not warm, but the chicken sandwich was awesome.“

“Great place for some quick BBQ. Worth trying and the sides are what make this place even better. The cream corn and potato salad are some of the best. Also don't sleep on the turkey, it is hands down the best smoked Turkey in Texas. The half chicken is also really good. Pork ribs are fine, babyback ones are delicious, and the moist brisket is a go to for many.“

“Excellent burger and fries. The burger was sooooo juicy and bun was perfect. The battered fries were to die for. It was a hot day but most tables were in shade and there were fans around so the heat wasn’t really a big deal. Really a perfect way to spend a quiet afternoon by walking along the river and coming to get a tasty meal!“

“I’ve been enjoying this awesome joint since middle school (25 years ago) and it never gets old! Every single item on the menu is cool as Austin is. Highly recommend this establishment at least once a week if you can afford it. And you will be able to afford it because they have reasonable prices!“

“Best chicken tenders and fried fish! I literally have to drive 6 miles just to get to them, but it’s totally worth it. They beat any other chicken, tender fast food restaurant with the quality of their food and the flavor. I just wish they had them more in Austin.“

“Passed this place a hundred times before checking it out. A friend finally brought me, and I was surprised at how tasty the tacos were. This is not Taco Bell! (I've visited a few times now, and I've liked everything I've tried.“

“Great quality, fast service and the management team is outstanding.“

“Fast service , friendly staff“

“I had their chorizo breakfast tacos and my goooooodness!!! Best tacos I’ve ever had!“

“I didn’t catch his name, but the young gentleman who helped me with my order on 10/7/25 around 5:30 PM was outstanding! He was friendly, helpful, courteous and gave great recommendations. He seemed like an all-around great guy! I’d love for management to recognize him for his excellent service and positive attitude.truly rare in today’s world.

Awesome!“

“I went to the one downtown FtWorth TX and it was AMAZING and the Customer Service was 💯 👍🏾 👌🏾 thanks David!! I highly recommend 😋“

“The food was delicious we had the brisket hash and the puff pastry . I tried the homemade Sangria and it did not disappoint. The customer service was excellent and our server was very attentive The handwritten birthday card signed by the staff and the dessert treat was a nice touch. It was my first visit but I definitely will return. The only problem was parking, not enough of it behind the restaurant but I loved everything else.“

“Great prices for fresh burgers and fries! I’m so glad there is a new location in Spring, Tx. I highly recommended!“

“Overall a great place for food when you are in a hurry or on the go. I've had the breakfast tacos (picadillo and beef fajita). Also, the hamburger meal and onion rings. The food is really good and reasonably priced. The tacos were pretty small but good. The tortillas are very thin but also really good. They also have a really good mango drink with lots of pulp right next to the register it's super good. They did get a couple minor things mixed up on 2 of the orders but nothing horrible.

It's located inside Weird convenience store, which I love! Staff is friendly and store is very clean and uncluttered. And I'm very impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms as well.“

“Best burger and fries in the entire great state of Texas. Come to DFW P. Terry’s! We need your greatness!“

“Great foods.. Love it. Amazing foods.. Sandwiches , chicken wings, and good fry rice.“

“This is 100% the best Taco Bell my girlfriend and I have ever been to. We’ve ordered from the app 3 times now and it has been such a magical experience each time. Not only is our order always super accurate but the employees are always delightful as well! Specifically this last time shout out to the guy working the drive thru on Wednesday (7/23) around 12:50PM! GREAT energy! My quesadilla with extra creamy jalapeño was LOADED and so fresh tasting!“

“Rosa is a woman of compassion and character and deserves a raise! She was working the drive-thru and I wasn't feeling well because I was extremely nauseous due to pregnancy. I could barely order and was trying to keep it together. She had compassion on me. She asked if I needed water and got me a large ice water. Her kindness was very genuine and even made me cry because she was so nice. I have been back to this Arby's several times because of her. I have always had a good experience.“

“The food was amazing!! 5* The burgers are where is at!! We sampled different options from the menu but the OG Cheeseburger was absolutely the BEST!! I've ever had!! 💜🤩“

“Food was great, hot and fresh. Store was very clean. Management should be commended. Would eat there again.“

“This particular Popeyes has the best employee ever. Miss Patricia. Super friendly, funny, and sweet. I'm glad I opted to come inside to order in lieu of the drive thru. She made my day! The chicken was delicious of course, but Patricia is the big draw here. Give her a raise immediately!“

“Really good made-to-order tacos and torts. The red sauce is like fire! Great carnitas and the migas and bean taco rules.“

“The employees there, especially Caroline, one of the front workers, are always kind and swift help and provide excellent service. The restaurant appears to be cleaned thoroughly throughout the day. Kudos for all that they do!“

“Very quick and friendly service“
