17 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Kingston

“I saw an article in a local paper and had no idea what to expect the first time I stopped in. I was in for a treat. The menu is basic but the results are superb. Example? Most anyone can fix mashed potatoes. Not everyone can do it like The Saucy Sailor. Same with every dish I've tried. It's something way different than any fast food or pub fare. I recommend it. I think you'll be glad you became a customer.“

“I had a great experience at this McDonald’s location on the morning of July 8, 2025, around 10:50 AM. Despite it being a busy time, the staff handled everything with speed, efficiency, and a smile.

A big thank you to Manager Rex for the fantastic customer service! it’s clear that he leads by example. I also want to give a special shoutout to the drive-thru girl (I didn’t catch her name) for being so polite, quick, and professional. Her teamwork with the rest of the crew was impressive.

Great job to the entire team for keeping things running smoothly and making my visit a pleasant one!“

“Every time I go, the food is always delicious and authentic just like they say, it feels like home. I highly recommend their menu and especially their churros!“

“😋 some good tasting 🧁 deserts“

“Great food, excellent service! I haven't actually been inside but the drive through here is incredibly fast every time I come here! The burritos, both breakfast and dinner, are always amazing! The staff here are also always super nice and they give you coupons each time you come for the next time! Excellent establishment!“

“The best cheeseburgers fries, and tarter sauce.“

“Fantastic Crew at 4pm on Aug. 27th 2019. Jeff made his famous fry sauce for us and it was perfection. Best Burger we have had in a long time. Kyersten and the rest of the crew were fun and friendly. Great Food and Great Employees!!“

“Fantastic Taco Time in the beautiful neighborhood of Ballard!“

“door dashed from them last night and it was delicious!! the chicken sandwich I had was amazing!“

“We stopped here for lunch when we were passing through. We had been traveling for a few days and just wanted a quick and easy lunch. We were glad that we stopped here!

We ordered at the counter and the food was tasty and quick. Our only complaint was the lack of seating for our group of six. We had to split into two groups when we sat down to eat.“

“Great customer service stood out on two recent visits. The food is ready pretty fast, but it is a step above "fast food." Only complaint is the overactive AC unit in the dining room. It is chilly, and the air blows so strong you have to secure your napkins and papers.“

“Okay, you definitely have to know what you’re getting into here - I mean, it’s a Taco Del Mar. But for a fast-food establishment, this is probably about as nice as you can get. It’s not technically as fancy as something like a Chipotle, but it’s got more soul than any of those corporate slop bowl places could ever dream of having, and it feels like it’s maintained in a much more loving manner. The food is tasty and comforting, and the employees couldn’t be kinder. If you’re in the neighborhood and you’re looking for a quick bite, there aren’t too many spots I’d recommend above it.“

“My two grandsons enjoyed eating here. Will take them there again when I visit!!“

“Good pizza and friendly staff! I usually order online which is super convenient. But unfortunately, there are usually at least one or two mistakes in the order. The staff always offers to remake it, which I appreciate, but at that point I don't want to wait so I just accept it as is.

I'd love to see a little more attention to detail from the staff, but the unlimited toppings and custom salads make MOD one of my go-tos in Ballard.“

“The icee machine was down so we couldn't get one of those. We ordered 2 sandwiches and the last that made them was super nice. She made the sandwiches perfectly. The food was alright but the seating area was really dirty. The walls had all kinds of splatters and what looked like someone had thrown food at the wall and it was just allowed to drip down the wall and dry. Not the nicest place to sit and eat so we gathered our food and left.“

“It's a subway, but definitely a good one, it's always clean, organized and everything is efficient. The one unique thing about this location is that they offer coffee and specialty coffee and monthly special drinks that are pretty good. A great option in base.“

“Hey, it's Papa John's. You're here because it's cheap, it's usually pretty quick and the guys at this location never mess up the order.

This isn't a date night dinner for 2, this is what you get for the soccer team after school, when you need to stretch $50 for a week worth of meals or for when the boys are over for some couch co-op gaming.

Be like me and abuse that 2 for $6.99 deal. Probably the most cost effective option in Ballard short of eating nothing but instant noodles.“
