40 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Pasadena

“We wanted to thank you for helping make our sweet 16 an enjoyable and delicious experience. The food was amazing and well prepared and you always kept us updated with any suggestions or thoughts on ideas that may pose an issue. Thank you so much and appreciate your professionalism too“

“This location is much cleaner compared to the ones I’ve visited in Pearland and Baytown. The food is made to order. I love hot food! The staff is nice and my Freddy’s Double was extremely meaty and cheese. The fries are always the best part of the meal, well seasoned and thin.“

“Went there Thursday evening thru drive-thru. Ordered roasted chicken. Was horrible. Smelled rotten and bad. The beans and rice also has a smell of sourness to it. The food was not hot. Very bad eating experience. Will not be going Back. Yuk and Yuk. Spoiled food.“

“Amazing, extremely clean, the service is always great. Very courteous. We got the $7 meal deal ( I know it used to be $5, inflation) it hit the spot. Burger was delicious and the sundae at the end was just the right amount. Keep up the amazing work. ?“

“The current run of the Philadelphia Cheesesteak is terrible. The steak looked and tasted similar to canned sliced beef. The cheese sauce would run on a level surface. But at least the bread and vegetables were fresh. Would I feed it to my pet alligator - probably.Would I feed it to my pet dog - definitely not.“

“so excelentes trabajadores“

“I came in on 02/23/2025 around 6:50 and my experience was amazing.The team was working hard to get orders out.I especially want to shout out Kimora, Austin, and I didn’t get the name of the guy who was prepping the dough, but him as well.The 3 team members make sure to create a positive atomosphere during a quick rush with customers and effectively get orders out on time.100 percent will be coming back due to these employees.10/10 recommend anyone else who decides they would like to try out mods.“

“Nice place to go. Lack of communication or almost no gratitude expressed. It's like hi welcome to Hartz and paid for meal and that was was it. Nothing explained, no one asked if we needed anything, had to find utensils on my own made our own way to beverages. Kinda felt dry about the service, food was OK no wow factor for its price.“

“It's an all-around great dining experience. I'm just not crazy about waffle fries.

Kid-friendliness: There's not an option for seniors so I went with the next best, kids. Most ppl don't know that Chick-fil-A gives seniors a free drink, any day,any time. Now Ya Know!!“

“Yes! Delicious food and LOVE the blizzards! Today I couldn't afford 3 kids meals cause my card didn't have enough money, so I could only pay for two. But the manager gave me the third for free! Thank you!“

“Jessica, Dakota, Marlen, these are the managers of Golden Chick in Baytown and they're Awesome. I have a special order that have to be made different and they are always WILLING to accommodate my order. I would like to say THANKS SO MUCH FOR WHAT YA'LL DO❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Great customer service, always smiling ALWAYS FAST 💨 I love MY canes 🥰“

“The people here are very respectful, kind, and polite. The food is always hot and fresh. The restaurant is kept clean. The fountain drinks are good. We really enjoy coming here when we're passing through Pasadena between medical appointments for my mother. Good experience indeed. 🫂🫶💝👬🏳️‍🌈“

“Inside Walmart; this place has fantastic service and the food tasted like the McDonald's Food you crave for. Fries were fresh and the well made Quarter pounder with cheese hamburger was delicious. I'm not a big fan of McDonald's, and I probably eat it once every 2 or 3 years. I had to give props to this place because it was 5 stars in all categories and super convenient.“

“I got the Philly Cheese Stake big kahuna with no jalapeños and added mayo, ranch and chipotle sauce on white bread. It came out absolutely amazing iv been looking for that kind of Philly cheese stake for years and nothing I have gotten has upheld to a good Philly cheese stake but that right there hit the exact spot iv been trying to itch. Thank you so much to the staff who made it.

Kid-friendliness: They also gave my 2 year old a free bag of chips because we had to wait a little bit for our food. Super friendly and respectful.“

“Food was served fresh and experienced great service. Hilda packed my order neatly and correctly and for the most part my sauces i requested were avaliable and in bag . Will be placing more mobile order's here in the future. Drinks were placed in drink holder ,also food was bagged and labeled with my name and receipt which was signed by preparer . Didn't wait at all everything was fast and simple for pickup. Thank you jack in the box staff.“

“Hands down the best Jack in the Box i have ever been to. Which is crazy because i dont expect anything special when going to a fast food joint. The service was fast, the food was fresh and hot, it was not undercooked or overcooked, everything was exactly as I ordered it, and the staff was relatively friendly. I also didn’t realize how diverse Jack in the Box’s menu is, there’s a lot of great stuff to choose from. Thanks for the great experience guys!“

“carnitas y el pollo. tostadas y las riquísimas tortillas“

“If I eat taco bell, it's always at this location. Taco bell is dope, the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because my order was wrong. I got a beefy 5 layer burrito instead of a different item I ordered. And I got one of those burritos that have rice in them instead of the OTHER item I ordered. I didn't check my order until I got home, and I wasn't about to waste gas and drive back to swap it. So I just ate it. Thats the only problem I've ever had. Other than that they're legit.

Vegetarian options: Nothing is vegetarian here lol.

Dietary restrictions: Avoid place if you have acid reflux or heartburn or indigestion issues.

Parking: Drive thru available

Kid-friendliness: It's kid friendly. As far as I know, they have never had a problem with kids. Kids don't seem to have a problem with them either. They keep it G.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, if you are in a wheelchair it is possible and fairly easy to gain access into the facility.“

“This Wendy's has very nice employees but like every fast food place nowadays they always make you pull up and wait even when no one is in line. I hate that. Nit the employees fault..it's just a false way of measuring how longitude takes to get a customer out.“

“Best pho noodle soup I've ever had. Everything on the menu is worth trying. Don't forget their flavored Thai teas with boba 🤤“

“Very clean! All the workers are so nice and polite. Nice to see workers spending the xtra time they have keeping the restaurant clean. Food is perfect.

Parking: Parking Pavement new!

Wheelchair accessibility: Very spacious.“

“The only thing I ever get at McDonald’s anymore at this location is just french fries and occasional coffee. But I hate their hamburgers every time I’ve gotten a cheeseburger there I live 1 mile not even a mile from this location when I get home to sit down to eat, the cheese is not even melted, when they handed me my order last time before I even drove away, I unwrapped the hamburger and the cheese was not melted! I even told them when I placed my order to be sure that my cheese is melted and they don’t listen. Most of the people that work there cannot understand English anyway, I don’t mean to be mean but that’s just how it is the next time I drive by there this week I’m gonna try to get the phone number to the owners and call and tell them. Another thing that I don’t like is that they don’t sell any breakfast items after 10:30 really who wants to eat chicken nuggets or cheeseburger or french fries at 10:30 in the morning? lol“

“Drive-thru was great. I had a semi complex order with substitutions and add-ons etc. and she didn't hesitate putting them in correctly, double checked my order with me, and then the kitchen delivered everything correctly. This doesn't happen at every Taco Bell.

Vegetarian options: One of the better fast food veggie friendly places, if not the best.“

“My first time eating there chicken chicken was great and French fries and fried was yummy 😋 Iam from Arkansas“

“I’ve always had pretty good service ordering on the app and picking up in the drive through. The manager is stingy but the kids at the drive through are always nice. The location is easy right off of the beltway and close from the neighborhoods.“

“We have eaten at a lot of Dairy Queen in different locations. We feel the DQ on Spencer hwy in Pasadena is the best. They have very friendly and helpful employees. The place is always clean. The food is always good. That is why we eat there often. Today Gina M waited on us. She did an excellent job. She ran the register, served customers, and visited with them. Thank you for running a business we enjoy going to.“

“Well staffed, excellent service, good food

Edit 7/12. The consistency at this place is a literal coin flip. One month it can be good, one month it’s bad. Ordered a 4pc chicken nugget kids meal and they gave me everything but the nuggets. Go if you like to gamble with your order“

“Doctors orders,Potassium levels low ,go to Dairy Queen & have yourself the Best Banana Split Ever made by the Sweetest Crew,I just love Our local Dairy Queen on Red Bluff!“

“Sonic been doing good lately. Whatever got yall boppin around with them skates on serving up the cherry limeade like you proud to do it, is working sonic.It looks good on you!Them chilie cheese coney be on. That hot fudge shake is the good good for real.I highly recommend you get the hot fudge shake with the whip cream and cherry. That is just holy moly poly for real goodness.“

“Amazing people and great service! I loved the place specially Mr. Taha which was super nice.“

“Food comes out hot & the order is always right. If food isn’t ready the employee asks me to move up, tells me why, & thanks me; which is not how any of the McDonald’s I’ve been to are. It’s become my favorite place since I’ve moved in the area“

“I come here usually during the week for lunch a couple times a week. Great food and great service. My order is always correct and the food is hot and the fries are crispy. Very friendly daytime staff. Consistency keeps me coming back 👍🏼

Also, I have no problem waiting a little longer as long as it means fresh, hot food 😋

Patience is a virtue“

“Food is always great here! I’m basic so I always get the Philly cheesesteak with everything! Fries were fresh and my sandwich was the right amount of everything. Considering we were served at a busy hour the food and lobby was overall a good experience. The manager took my order and served me very kindly 🫶🏼“

“Me gusta mucho el cafesito mmmm y los biscetes y los presios muy economicos mmm rikisimos“

“To those of us that like Jack in the Box this location is a showcase. Everything from the parking lot to the tables were sparkling clean. The food is what you have to expect from J'nB which is a good decent food for the price. The crew were hustling but maintained composure to be friendly and courteous.“

“my granddaughters like making Tik Toks in the bathroom! lol“

“It’s always clean, quiet, I’m often the only one in here. The employees are always very friendly, I’ve never had to wait, they are always well stocked on ingredients in addition to the extras (chips, cookies). My sandwich is always well prepared and everything is crisp and fresh.“

“Everything was very good. Restaurant is clean, veggies were fresh . I liked my sandwhich but as a former subway manager I feel inclined to mention that the artist who made my sandwhich did not follow the formulas.... I ordered the same sandwhich from two different locations and they both tasted completely different because the store by Kroger followed formulas and this one didn't . I eat my sandwhich anyway it was still very good. Just something for management to look at it's a small pet peeve of mine“
