Mouthwatering Fast Food in Houston

JCI Grill James Coney Island- Humble

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (49) • $

"This is not the same James Coney Island of years past. First if all most the menu is considerably more varied. Yes you can still get those small steamed bun coneys. Yes they're still delicious with a little chilly and onion and cheese. However now you have a choice of hamburgers, cheese steaks, brats and a nice dairy dessert menu of milkshakes and ice cream etc. however the best part of the restaurant might be not the menu and certainly would not appreciate it if you go through the drive-through. It is inside where it looks like a classic 1950s style diner large, roomy and comfortable. It is a place where you may linger a while even after the meal. Unfortunately I was somewhat disappointed in all things not coneys. The brats was a bit salty and had almost a metallic taste. True I'm not a great fan of sauerkraut but the brats lack that snap and juiciness that you come to expect from a nicely grilled sausage. The cheesesteak was quite acceptable. Not to be confused from the Philadelphia version but still nice meaty choice. However be forewarned it is small but it is also cheap so get two if you think you really going to have it as a meal."

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (11)

"Literally the best Canes you're going to come across outside of Louisiana!! I don't know why this location is SO GOOD but it is!! Pull up to Canes and don't forget to ask for your bread buttered on both sides! Had no idea that was a thing. It's called a Bobby lol! Oh and give their honey mustard a try. They make it. Honorable mention..this beautiful Elvis art Customer service here is .... *chef's kiss*"

Smashburger

★★★★☆ 3.5 (84) • $

"Not a big fan of smash burger. They do make good food..the hamburgers are fresh and the fries are cooked with skin on from fresh cut potato's. The service was good. They cook when you order so everything is hot and fresh. My big complaint is the unexpectedly high cost for a regular burger and fries."

Firehouse Subs

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (28)

"I like the service nice fast and friendly . It's always good to stop a grab A great song by running around doing errands or for lunch."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (57) • $

"Sandwiches were made promptly and exactly how we requested them. They seem to use a ton of olive oil at this location. Everything was good and satisfying!"

Dairy Queen

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (52) • $

"This location is EXTREMELY SLOW. Like ridiculously horribly slow. I'm not sure what they have going on inside. However, I'm only taking one star off because they are Atleast nice and respectful, unlike the other location. This location has people working that seem to have manners and say nice things versus the other. And imo that goes a long way for a business! Oh and this location still flips the blizzards upside down. The end."

Church's Chicken

★★☆☆☆ 1.7 (12)

"One of slowest fast food places ever !! Had to wait 10 minutes for chicken it was the middle of the day on top nobody was in the drive thru or the inside doesn't make since will not b returning . Hire better and faster workers ."

Jimmy John's

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (38) • $

"A great and healthy alternative to fast food chains. I really liked the place. They were very nice. The sandwich was great. I will definitely come back."

Whataburger

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (87) • $

"At this point, I'm pretty certain I've sold my soul to Whataburger. Literally every time I see their iconic logo, I literally debate with myself mentally on whether or not I should go for it. This not only shows that their marketing is working on me, but it also is a testament to how much I enjoy their food.Compared to other Whataburger locations, this Westchase spot isn't going to be among the best. There are some days where they're on top of it all: pipin' hot food, southern hospitality service with quick drive thru experiences. Other days they're slow, sometimes orders are wrong, and super sloppy handling of the food / subpar presentation (i.e. terribly wrapped items, spillage, etc.)But like any fast food chain, every spot will eventually level out. This location does its job and I get my breakfast burger. One thing I will point out is that this spot is significantly better late at night than they are in the daytime. I'm not sure how to explain it, but the service is beefed up post midnight. Maybe it's a Houston thing for post nightlife eats?"

Subway

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (22) • $

"One of my favorite locations! This is our go to because they consistently are good. They do a great job with making sandwiches and never skimp out on the toppings. The staff is always really friendly and attentive. I've never had any problems with my sandwhich even when I order online. Definitely recommend this location!"

Whataburger

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (59) • $

"I have to go to Whataburger whenever I land in Houston. If you know you know. The food is consistent and they always have a new burger to try. I will be back. The service is fast and the staff has gotten a little worst but they do what they can. They all look the same and I've never been inside but the outside is always the same"

Wienerschnitzel

★★★★☆ 3.8 (27)

"Very good hotdogs. Service is quick and it's fast food so ambiance is as you'd expect. Place is clean and sanitary."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★☆ 3.8 (52) • $

"Oh, Jersey Mike's CYPRESS you never fail me! The hubby and I went for a quick lunch date today and we could not have been happier with our visit. First we were greeted by Miguel, the owner. Then we went to order and a wonderful young man, Cory helped us. I told him about my food allergies and we jumped right in and started preparing the area. He was so pleasant. Manners and everything!!! Miguel, you should be so happy to have this young man working for you. Your staff has ALWAYS accommodated me and my allergies! Thanks again for the great service and great sandwiches. We will see you soon."

Wendy's

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (24) • $

"Average expectations for Wendy's location. I ordered my food and it came out in about six minutes which seems fine to me. Staff were friendly and the place looked clean. Will return. Large parking lot present with the usual drive-through available also."

Pollo Campero

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (35) • $$

"My family and I love pollo campero. We've ordered from them multiple times. Their fried chicken is always consistently well seasoned, although not the crunchiest fried chicken we've ever had. The spices in their chicken are very unique to them. We actually enjoy their fried chicken more than Popeyes, although pollo campero is more expensive. We also tried their fried chicken sandwiches, which were also delicious. Again, their fried chicken patty was well seasoned and it went well with their pickles. Their pickles were sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. The pickle texture was good too. I even enjoyed their mashed potatoes side, which reminded me a lot of KFC's mashed potatoes. Overall, I'd definitely recommend trying pollo campero if you want to try fried chicken that's not from the usual Popeyes or KFC chains."

Wendy's

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (28) • $

"This Wendy's is the closest one to my job therefore its the one that I frequent the most. Lately I have been going for the 4 for 4 deal. Its where you can get a small burger or chicken sandwich with fries, nuggets and a drink for $4. It's a cheap lunch and pretty filling. Of course they serve their full menu also but this is the driving force for me to come here. Their drive up service is pretty fast and efficient. For now they will be my go to Wendy's because of their close proximity."

McDonald's

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (40) • $

"Yall know I had to come by and get my large iced coffee. This place has been the only McDonald's to make it exactly how I want it.. bravo!"

McDonald's

★★☆☆☆ 2 (15)

"The best McDonald's! In my experience they are always fast and friendly and the food is hot and consistent."

Shake Shack Katy Freeway

★★★☆☆ 3 (59) • $$

"We came here for their soft opening and ordered via drive thru. Customer service was ok. The people who greeted us in the beginning were helpful. But, the drive thru had a lot of staff that weren't proactive. A customer in front of us had to come out of his car to ask where his order was despite there being three attendants outside. The parking lot also looked unfinished because there were parts of it that were concrete and other parts that were gravel. As far as the food goes, it was pretty good. But, there's room for improvement. We ordered their Shack burger and Chicken sandwich. The beef patty was flavorful, but a bit too salty. However, the veggies were fresh and the potato bun was fluffy. The strawberry shake was fragrant, although a bit sweet for my liking. The cookies and cream shake was also a bit thick. I think the staff could've blended the cookies in more thoroughly so that it would be easier to drink the shake through the straw. It was still delicious and creamy. The chicken sandwich was juicy, but again, it was a bit too salty. They didn't have the veggie burger at the soft opening. I really wanted to try it. I guess I'll try it at the SL location.Overall, the food was good. I think this location just needs to iron out their food seasoning and consistency, training of their staff, and finishing their parking lot."

Pollo Campero

★★★☆☆ 3 (47)

"I should start out by saying I didn't get to eat there, but the customer service was amazing. I tried to place an online order for a Campero Bowl, and they called me within like three minutes after placing the order to let me know that they were out of some of the ingredients and we're not able to make the bowls right now. She advised me to cancel the order online. *ps the 2 restaurants next door had signs up that said City Issue no water so Im assuming thats why they couldn't provide my request* It didn't allow me to do that so I called back and hit the buttons to speak with customer service. And the lady I spoke with had a personable attitude and positive and quick in solving the situation. She confirmed that she had my order information and then she was going to reach out to the restaurant location and put me on hold. within three minutes.,She was back on the phone with me letting me know that she canceled the order and has already processed the refund & confirmed the amount of refund, then apologized for the situation. So while I am still excited to try their food when they are back in stock, I was very impressed with the customer service. Because you don't get that anymore, especially not at a fast food restaurant. Very professional!! it was so easy to get the problem solved that I am going to definitely be giving them a second chance, so they are losing one star just because they were unable to provide my food."

KFC

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (10) • $

"Of course the Colonel is still alive making the best fried chicken bar none anywhere ,this particular restaurant is clean and neat the staff is friendly it's run well and my family and kids like it there it's Kentucky fried chicken just a staple food"

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (107) • $

"I love Cane's! This location never disappoints. Food was hot and crisp and the sweet tea is on point."

KFC

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (35) • $

"Me and my boyfriend went in for a quick bite for the evening, after ya know a gym session. But its okay thats how we make gains. We wanted to try the new spicy chicken, I would say i give it a 3.-ish. It was fresh customer service was good, just downside was that there was not much spicy sauce in the sandwich.Also it wasn't spicy as it said it would. I mean also the chicken portion was a bit small. I give it a solid 4 because it was overall good customer service and it was clean. I'd come back if the sandwich had more sauce, i had to add more hot sauce to the sandwich."

Subway

"Didn't get anything (and the couple in front didn't either) because there were roaches crawling around the counter."

Chick-fil-A

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (86) • $

"5 stars for this location! In true Chick Fil A fashion, the line is always sooo long, but I'm always in and out in no time! I've stopped by this location numerous times and don't think I've ever been disappointed. Staff is always polite and quick to get cars through the drive thru and my wait usually isn't long when choosing curbside. Of course, I've everyone's favorites: sandwiches, nuggets, salads, and the wrap is really good as well. This time I decided to try tot Lemon Kale Caesar Salad but a modified version. I went with regular nuggets instead of the grilled (sorry for the grilled nugget lovers, this review is not for you..I've tried them, but they aren't my thing) and with a basic ranch instead of when Cider VinagAbsolutely delicious! There is a perfect balance of iceberg and kale and the regular nuggets and parking add a bit of crunch and additional flavor. Not sure if it's a seasonal item, but this salad is my new go to salad at Chick Fil A. They definitely knew what they were doing with this one! Not sure how long it'll be offered (its seasonal), so try it while you still can!"

Salad and Go

★★★★★ 4.7 (10)

"Crazy to think I can get minimally processed, highly nutritious and reasonably cheap whole foods, quickly and from a drive thru! And if you break it all down, it's fairly tough to beat that price making all these things at home yourself. Healthy, fresh, fast, simple yet tons of options, scrumptious, never ending mix and match options; and maybe most importantly, outstanding food quantity for price imho. drive thru only (no dine in but ordering online is easiest). When my kids found out we were having dinner here they were excited (first visit went well), imagine that for a 6 and 8 year old, the food MUST be good! Man I hope they stay in business, seems almost to good to be true!"

"Horrible service - only one employee working waited 30 minutes for sandwich.... AWFUL....."

American Deli

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (31) • $$

"Best wings & peach fountain drink in the city! We have a location in my hometown in Jackson & this is all folks would talk about. Now I see why. Anytime I'm in the area I would stop here to eat. I usually get the wings & mix 2 sauces, with the fries and peach drink. Food is always hot and crispy, definitely eat it while it's hot. They sprinkle a little seasoning on the fries so I would ask for more or dip it in my wings sauce. But definitely my favorite place to go for wings."

Taco Bell

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (25) • $

"I usually go to this location in the evenings. They tend to make their food better than other location that I have tried. Rarely does the burrito feel thin or disproportionate with the ingredients. Sometimes you don't get the same consideration with your order.Whatever you get, try it grilled. If you're like me, you won't be disappointed."

Whataburger

★★☆☆☆ 1.6 (94) • $

"Today being Sunday and 12:30 drive thru was packed both lanes. So decided to go inside Line was long but service was fast and I had my food at table in about 5 mins.Had a free burger offer on app the new bacon double cheeseburger.Really good but I warn everyone if you don't like blue cheese crumbles (which are pretty strong) don't order. I actually like blue cheese and they were a little string for me. But it mixes well with all the toppings so no big deal.Plenty of tables, no parking issue since it seemed that most cars were in the drive thru.Look forward to my next freebie!!! Thanks whataburger"

Wendy's

★★☆☆☆ 1.6 (42) • $

"Cleanest Wendy's I've ever been to. Most are old, dark and ran down. This one is newer and cleaner than any other that I've been to. Stopped in to grab some lunch; I was greeted immediately and order taken quickly. I'm doing Keto so I had to be strategic with my choices. I ordered the Baconator with no bun, add avocado. Delicious, Hot and Fresh! No complaints on this end!"

"Who ever made my candy cane iced coffee today thank you for putting the candy pieces in it the way I like it. It made me smile it made my day."

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (73) • $

"Popeyes has been a popular and busy fried chicken establishment across the nation and also different countries in the world. Honestly, I don't frequent often but the fried chicken and biscuits are quite good. They rolled out 2 new chicken sandwiches years back and people were accosted, assaulted, addicted, excited, and even m*rdered over that sandwich. I refuse to eat that sandwich based on that alone but truly those sandwiches are still selling out like hot cakes!I have a love hate relationship with meat and eat very little so sides are my jam!I love the hot, crispy, and well-seasoned French fries from Popeyes! They are delicious. I get a large and re-warm the leftovers in my air fryer and they are good as new!Okay, their lemonade is so refreshing, tart, and sweet. It is Minute Maid I think buy SoOoOO good! I always get the large with extra ice. So good!"

Chipotle Mexican Grill

★★☆☆☆ 1.6 (103)

"Pretty much like every single other review here, yeah management was pretty bad. Also, I guess by the rude cashier I can only get a large cheese quesadilla online? But I've ordered it before at the restaurant? She had a really mean attitude ( kinda scared me because I'm not confrontational ) My little bowl was fine the food isn't bad, but then the next morning I got sick, I don't think I've ever gotten sick from a chipotle before.Edit: all of my neighbors and family have been getting sick from this location, we are guessing that they do not take care of their food. DO NOT go to this place!!"
