20 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Fairfax

“We have worked with Charity, at the Fair Lakes Chick-fil-A, many times for our Waples Mill Elementary PTA and can’t be more complementary! They have supported countless events, we’ve made purchases from this store for our families, and today they donated 2boxed of coffee with all of the accoutrements for our PTA Board meeting. We are just incredibly thankful for their community, outreach and generosity! Thank you so much, you are a wonderful!! Sincerely, The Waples Mill PTA Family“

“The food was good. It was a bit confusing that they had two different pick-up spots for the food and ice cream. It was very busy so I couldn't even see that there was another counter. Seating was very limited. I had to walk around lots of people to get to anything. I don't know if I would bother eating in again of it was busy, but the food and ice cream were worth going back to pick up.“

“I’ve been to a couple of Afghan Kabob restaurants but this one was truly really great and tasty. The food was delicious and the customer service was the best. I highly recommend trying out Fairfax Kabob!“

“Food is absolutely exceptional here. I have traveled a lot in my professional career and never had chicken made so deliciously. Atmosphere is great and service as well, just a small building is only problem. It’s not even a problem really, can just use more room. Great place to get your lunch while working.“

“The food was delicious . I really enjoyed the fried yucca. It was light and crispy for yucca fries. I really enjoy the chicken, it was flavorful and juicy. The fried rice could have been a little better. It was sitting in the warmer for a while, so it was a bit on the dry side. Overall, great place to have something quick and convenient.“

“Flame Kabob is a gem of an Afghan restaurant, offering some of the best authentic cuisine in the Fairfax area. The food is nothing short of amazing, with perfectly spiced kebabs, flavorful rice dishes, and freshly baked naan that truly transport you to Afghanistan. Every bite is a testament to the care and skill of the chefs.

The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a simple yet elegant décor that makes it a comfortable spot for family dinners or casual meet-ups. The customer service is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and always ready to ensure you have a great experience.

If you're looking for delicious Afghan food with a cozy atmosphere and excellent service, Flame Kabob at 13037 U.S. 50 Service Rd is a must-visit. Highly recommended!“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Omg � best burgers by far Great service and what a team effort Well done I'm from Melbourne Australia � Would highly recommend this place soooo Fresh“

“The parking lot seems a bit cramped. The drive through is very slim so be ready to take it slow if it's your first time.
The spicy chicken breakfast sandwich was fire!!!! Best spicy Chick-fil-A chicken I've had by far.
They do frequently mess up orders so make sure to check“

“Food here is excellent! The street corn has so much flavor! Love the mango salsa!! I got a baja bowl with chicken and black beans; my boyfriend got a chicken burrito. Both were very good! We ordered via Door Dash, but will definitely give the restaurant a try next time for sure. Highly recommend. Get the street corn!!“

“Recently I took my team here for a team lunch for the 4th to have burgers and hotdogs… the team there was checking on us often and the food came out quick…. I but I want to highlight their limited pistachio “Dubai” chocolate milk shake… fire!“

“This is my go to Wendy's for a quick bite when I'm working an evening schedule. The food has always come out fresh and piping hot. I tried their Crispy Panko Fish sandwich for the first time and must say I was rather impressed. All the elements came together perfectly; the steamed bun, the savory, crispy panko breaded fish patty, oozing melty cheese, and a generous amount of dill tartar sauce. I like how they added pickles, which I thought helped to heighten the other flavors in the sandwich.“

“One thing ppl love to do on this campus is hate 😭 Like it’s a regular chick fil a. The place is a little ugly, sure, but their food tastes the same as every other chick fil a. If you like chick fil a, then you can go to this one if it’s convenient for you“

“TASTE (7.5/10): Chicken burritos were hit or miss. The cheaper one (possibly enchilada-style) wasn’t great, but the $5+ burrito was quite satisfying. The ground meat texture wasn’t my favorite, but it’s pretty typical for Mexican-style burritos. The sauces were surprisingly good, definitely a highlight.

PRICE (9/10): Very affordable. A solid choice when you’re hungry and watching your wallet.

SERVICE (8.5/10): The self-service system was smooth and informative, better than McDonald’s. Ordering was quick, and the way they called out initials was efficient.

ATTITUDE (7/10): Minimal human interaction, but the system worked well.

PLACE (8/10): Not crowded, and there was parking available. Clean and orderly environment. Nothing fancy, but functional.

CLEANLINESS (8/10): Everything looked clean and maintained. No complaints here.

ADDITIONAL FEES / HIDDEN COSTS (10/10): None. Straightforward pricing.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: Cheap, filling, and efficient. If only the meat texture were more to your taste, it could’ve scored even higher.“

“I recently visited Five Guys and ordered a little hamburger with all my favorite toppings— gladly discovered that every topping is free! The burger and fries felt fresh. I spent about $20, which is on the pricier side, but the quality and good taste made it worth it. Special thanks to Marelyn S, whose friendly and attentive service made my visit smooth and pleasant. I also loved their free peanuts—especially the roast flavor. Overall, it was a fresh, delicious, and welcoming experience, would be nice to repeat!“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had“

“Had an amazing tuna sandwich at Sunway. Sandra from Subway took my order and prepared it very well.

I would like to come again!

Parking: Accessible“

“I highly recommend the donuts. Visited Fairfax duck donuts about a month ago. However, the service was horrible. The staff was unfriendly, the cashier never greeted us and just took our order and passed it on to the next person. The T-shirt she was wearing was dirty and covered in flour. Maybe an apron that could be changed when dirty would be a good idea. The young lady who put the toppings on the donuts kept looking over her shoulder at a child who was crying and glaring at the mother. She was slow anyway and that made her even slower. When she finally gave me my order, again no greeting just slid the box toward me. I Commented I was missing missing one donut. Her reply was oh yeah I forgot to put that in the box. No apologies or anything. So as I said the donuts were great. Absolutely love them. But the staff need some training in customer service.“

“Good to see a business support the local Fire Departments and they have superb tasty subs....“
