23 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Norfolk

“Stopped in the Town Center VA beach location on my way back home from being here out of town. The food was fantastic and the service was top notch! Highly recommend stopping by to eat here. I had the brunch crepe for breakfast and the French press coffee…both of them were amazing!“

“Absolutely one of our favorite places in Norfolk. Whether with coworkers or family, this restaurant has never failed to deliver great food and amazing customer service.“

“We was looking for a Canes close to where we were staying in Norfolk and Waze led us to the NAS Norfolk. The food was very fresh and hot“

“I came from northern Virginia 3 hours away to visit Norfolk and we stopped by penguins in my opinion the mango flavor with mango pieces was the best combination out of everything.I recommend this place to everyone in Norfolk either live or visit penguins and they are way better than the slurpee at 7-11 cause they don’t have the natural fruit like penguins does.“

“I just had an amazing experience at Five Guys Burgers and Fries! I ordered the Little Bacon Cheeseburger with Cajun-seasoned fries and a vanilla milkshake. Let me tell you, every bite was fantastic! The burger was made from premium meat, cooked to perfection, and packed with flavor. The fries? Freshly cut and made daily, perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of kick. And the milkshake—absolutely incredible! Freshly made every morning with top-quality ingredients, it was the perfect treat to round out my meal.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by Emily, who was both welcoming and incredibly helpful. This was my first time eating here, and she really knew her stuff when it came to the menu. Honestly, with her knowledge and customer service skills, I’m surprised she’s not in management or a corporate role—she’s that good!

JR was on the grill, and I could tell right away that he knew exactly what he was doing. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the flavors really shined.

This definitely won’t be my last time at Five Guys. Thanks again to Emily for the exceptional service! If you haven’t tried this place yet, you’re missing out!“

“Love this place, such good food. I love their chicken and it’s like a true home in a busy world. They have the best chicken, but I would not recommend for vegetarians because there are very limited non chicken options. However, they have any kind of chicken you can want. So many sauces too. The bathrooms are clean and they have very fast service that is to die for. Also, they have a great work environment. All the employees seem happy and healthy and very productive and ready to help. Love this place and it’s a true gem in the rough. Chick fil a you have my heart and could never be taken away. Cannot explain how much this place means to me. I’m so glad I found it.“

“Store is well organized, prices are more than reasonable, customer service is neighborly and attentive. Gyros are divine comfort food, and the portion of fries is very generous.

I hear they were acquired by the Watergate chain this past week, and I'm not surprised at all!“

“giant fish sammich, grilled salmon“

“We were in rush to grab a bite. This location has very clean restrooms. We sat at a table, scanned the barcode, and placed our order. Shortly thereafter the food was delivered to our table with utensils and napkins. What more can you ask for?“

“Arby's food always hits nice when you go there, yk? The employees were friendly and happily refilled my drink 4 times. Lol
The restaurant itself was in bad need of a mopping in the lobby. The floor was quite sticky and visibly dirty, like it had been sticky for quite a while. We might have gone right after a rush. Anyway, the food outshined the floor situation. Would go again.“

“I was helped out by two team members. I think one of their names was Eva or Eve? She was very helpful, and so was the guy that helped as well. Definitely would recommend the salad. It was fresh and tasted great.“

“I was the only customer in here at this time and I just had to give an excellent review at this Hardee’s because when I walked in it was the cleanest Hardee’s I have ever seen in my entire life! I mean it was absolutely spotless!! Also, the young lady who took my order, Quanaisha, was absolutely superb!! She and her fellow coworkers are doing a remarkable job keeping everything unbelievably clean and providing absolutely fantastic service. This experience was like a breath of fresh air!! Keep up the great work!!“

“Wow, where do I start?! I placed an online order and popped in before the estimated time of readines. The gentleman (Earl) running the register immediately acknowledged my presence without neglecting the customers before him and assured me that my order would be ready momentarily. He remained attentive throughout my brief wait, all while managing the register and assisting with other duties. Earl is the Epitome of what great customer service looks like. Please let him know that he is greatly appreciated!“

“I dont know who the guy is at the window but hes very polite i enjoy him taking my order he needs a raise“

“This is just a Subway and with that said, this is also one of the most consistent, well managed, and clean fast food resturants I have ever been to. The owners and staff are fantastic and do an amazing job running this location.

Working in downtown Norfolk, I am very thankful to have them for a quick and affordable meal option.“

“I’m only giving five stars because the gentleman working tonight seem to be working by himself at that I was running the store like a champ and he was still kind at the same time. He deserves a raise because I stopped coming to this location because how badly it is managed, there’s never enough people working the people working normally have an attitude And half the time the food would come out bad, but I decided to give it another shot tonight and the young man that y’all have working is the only reason why I’ll still keep coming back because y’all got some issues to fix that y’all keep overlooking. it’s constantly busy, but y’all never have enough stuff because y’all probably don’t wanna pay people enough.“

“Pecan chicken salad sandwich 🥪, Orange 🍊 CREAM SHAKE and hot 🍟, Great service. N Military Hwy.“

“The Dairy Queen in the Ocean View area of Norfolk is a consistent and delightful spot for anyone craving classic American fast food and, of course, their iconic frozen treats. It's a reliable local favorite that delivers on its promise, making it a solid four-star destination.
First and foremost, the Blizzards are always on point. Whether you're a fan of the classic Oreo, a seasonal special, or a custom creation, they consistently blend them to perfection – thick enough to hold upside down, as promised! Their soft-serve cones are also a nostalgic delight, and the Dilly Bars never disappoint. When it comes to the frozen desserts, this DQ is a winner, providing that perfect cool-down on a warm Norfolk day.
Beyond the treats, their hot food menu is also surprisingly good for a fast-food joint. The burgers are consistently hot and satisfying, and the fries are usually crispy. It's a great option when you're looking for a quick and easy meal that isn't just about the ice cream.
The location in Ocean View is convenient and generally clean. While it's a standard fast-food setup, the staff is typically friendly and efficient, handling orders with a smile, even when things get busy. There's a pleasant, casual atmosphere that makes it easy to pop in for a quick bite or a sweet indulgence.
Why not five stars? Like many fast-food establishments, the dining area can sometimes feel a bit basic and could benefit from an occasional refresh to enhance the overall ambiance. While service is generally good, during peak summer hours or busy periods, there can be a bit of a wait, which is understandable but can be a minor inconvenience.
Overall, the Dairy Queen in Ocean View is a fantastic local spot for a consistently good fast-food meal and, more importantly, those beloved DQ treats. It's a reliable and pleasant experience that brightens up any day, earning its four stars as a go-to neighborhood favorite.“

“they do well here considering the high demand, but its frustrating that most of the time when i order a sunjoy with unsweetened tea, i am given one with sweet tea, so i end up paying an upcharge for a drink i dont even want. would be nice if i could get a discount for not getting a drink with a combo, or if they had iced coffee“

“Staff were very professional my cashier was Lanae and she also made my sub and as usual the sub was great because as we all know jimmy John’s have the best subs period!! I got the chicken bacon and ranch toasted sub and It was so so good I 100% recommend and guarantee satisfaction.“

“Picked up our evening meal to bring home ! Take out ! Fried fish meals !“

“Although I wish that the spicy Italian protein bowl was available, I had a great morning thanks to Britney. Britney's welcoming and positive attitude just brightened my day.

I haven't had such welcoming attitude since Japan. Glad that this site has an awesome lady like Britney.“

“Really can't complain. Went to the drive-thru for a sandwich and a nice coffee and came out the drive-thru with a sandwich and a nice coffee. The lady who took my order was just as friendly and nice as the gentleman who gave me my food. My sandwich was hot and my iced coffee was cold. I received napkins in the bag and a straw couldn't ask for more from a McDonald's drive-thru“
