12 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Issaquah

“Wonderful service with a smile. Great burgers where you can specify your toppings, awesome hot fries, and outstanding milkshakes.“

“I’ve always loved Taco Bell. The food is consistently delicious, and the combo meals are a great deal. It’s one of my favorite go-to spots for a quick bite. That said, I do wish there was more awareness around how items are fried. Frying things like chicken nuggets and fries in the same oil can be a concern for people with allergies or dietary restrictions. It would be amazing if there were clearer information or separate fryers to help avoid cross-contamination. Still a big fan, just hoping for a bit more care in this area.“

“I've been a Seattle resident my entire life and I've probably been going to Ivar's restaurants almost as long. Let's put it this way, I'm old enough to remember Ivar Haglund's commercials and his guest appearances on the JP Patches show. 😆

I've been meaning to write a review of the Issaquah Ivar's because I'm a local and I've always had such good experiences there. Truthfully, I didn't even realize there was an Ivar's in Issaquah until just a few years ago.

As a former restaurant worker (Shari's) many years back, I'm pretty picky when it comes to restaurants. Here's what I like about this one:

About the restaurant:
-It's clean.
-Bathrooms are well maintained.
-Tables are cleared quickly.
-The drink and condiment section (sodas, ketchup, tartar sauce stuff, etc.) always seems to be well-stocked with everything.
-Floors are clean too.
-Have I mentioned it's clean? lol
-The food is always served hot and fresh. Fries are crispy, fish is crispy, chowder is *amazing*, salads are good. My kids don't like the coleslaw (I think it's good) but they love all the other stuff on the menu.

About the people who work there:
-Great, personable customer service.
-The people who work there are quick when you need something.
-I'm not sure who the red-headed manager lady is but she's really attentive, helpful, and funny. Ever since she started working there, that Ivar's location has really improved on all levels. The previous management was OK but this manager really seems to go above and beyond.
-Bob - Have you met Bob? He's an older gentleman who works there and he's seriously an Issaquah legend. My whole family loves Bob! He is the kindest man and we always look forward to seeing him there. I mean, this Ivar's is good but Bob really sells it. He's definitely one of a kind.

Overall, I feel comfortable eating at this restaurant because they seem to run a tight ship. As far as restaurants go, it's one of the cleanest I've been to anywhere.

And now I'm hungry and need some fish and chips. lol.

(Sorry I don't have better photos. I'm one of those people who pretty much only take pictures of food.)“

“The food, service, ambience and quality at the Issaquah MOD location is top-tier. There are options for vegans, vegetarians, gluten-sensitive people (and yes, gluten-sensitive vegans, as well!)

The pizza and salad offerings are highly customizable.

It's clean and well-maintained, the ingredients are very fresh. I've been coming here for years and highly suggest it. The service is fast and friendly!“

“Fresh and hot, and very delicious... The workers and cooks here are happy, and made the food even better!!!
Perfect for a late night meal....

Ok this location is so good quality wise, had gone here twice in one day, breaking records JACK!!! GOOD STUFF!!!“

“good size. filled me up. great meats“

“Best smoothies and customer service on the planet 💥🥤🌍✨‼️“

“Traveling East on I-90 and needed a quick bite to eat so went here, ordered from their parking lot, got in line, got my order, on my way. I did stop to eat but you cannot access the parking lot from the drive-thru exit which would have been helpful. All good though and would stop here again. Very fast service which was very much appreciated!“

“Organic diced tomatoes - false claim. Additive: calcium chloride (CaCl₂) is not considered an organic compound. Organic compounds are generally defined as chemical compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds. Calcium chloride, being an ionic compound composed of calcium and chloride ions, does not contain any carbon-hydrogen bonds and is therefore classified as an inorganic compound.“

“It was delicious and the workers are friendly great customer service“

“my go to sandwich place. M only complaint is they don.t have delivery...“

“Been coming here for over fifteen years and decided to leave a review. Service is consistently efficient and friendly, and the flavors are always fresh. Wayyyy more options than Chipotle and the protein options have more flavor than Chipotle. Honestly the best tortilla soup I’ve had, even when including “proper” mexican restaurants. Highly recommend the Cholula chicken for whatever entree you’re getting. Such amazing flavor.“
