Mouthwatering Fast Food in Mesa

Eat Up Drive In

★★★★☆ 3.7 (213) • $$

"This is my boss and I's go-to Friday lunch stop!! We love ourselves a good, wholesome baked potato. My favorite is the broccoli cheddar baked potato! We always share the mixed fries and love the variety of textures and you have to grab some sauces!! We always top off with a frozen lemonade!The employees are super friendly and there's a little patio for outdoor seating, some seating inside and of course the drive through! You can't go wrong grabbing a meal from Eat Up!"

Lucky's Burgers & Shakes

★★★★★ 4.6 (442)

"First time at Lucky's Burgers & Shakes. Early Holiday lunch with Son. We both had the double charbroiled Burgers with cheese and fries. Place got busy for indoor dining or take out. Friendly service, great food.Hake to try a burger and shake next visit!"

El Salsita

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (46) • $

"Went through the drive through last Sunday, it took so long the guy in front of me shut off his truck while he waited. Once I got up to the window I could see why, they were packed! We got 2 chicken chimichanga plates to go. They. Were. Phenomenal. First off they were huge. Gargantuan. And oh so amazingly crispy on the outside. Topped with dollops of sour cream and guacamole like a crown on a large, crispy, golden baby. After taking a few bites, I got a taste of the chicken on its own and man that was the best chicken I've had at a Mexican place. They did not skimp on the beans and rice and they paired so well with that crunchy-shelled blimp of a chimichanga. After eating the entire thing and literally licking the plate clean I can confidently say they have the best chimichangas I've had in the valley so far. I can't speak for anything else on the menu but if you have a hankering for a beautifully crispy outside, wonderfully flavorful inside, chicken infused, absolute brick of delicious flavor, try the pollo chimi. You'll thank me after you wake up from your food coma."

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (58)

"Always good but notice the strips are getting smaller. I like the fries better than any other fast food restaurants."

Philly Steak & Wings

★★★★☆ 4 (163) • $

"I've wanted to come here a for a while now and I'm glad we did. My boyfriend and I got a gyro and a 10" Philly with onions and mushrooms with fries. The Philly was chalk full of meat and fillings, it tasted great, especially with the melted cheese. The size of the sandwich was "just right" as well, with left overs for tomorrow. The gyro was good as well but I think it could have had a bit more meat. It was a standard gyro, not great but not bad either. It hit the spot. The fries literally tasted like McDonald's fries. We half wondered if the vendor for the McDonald's next to the restaurant supplies their fries too, they are that similar. Next time I'd love to try a boba if the pearls are made and ready. I will definitely be back for a burger, and some different sides."

Jimmy John's

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (36)

"Not sure why this location has such a low rating. Place was clean, well staffed and sandwich was exactly what was expected."

Oscar’s Taco Shop

★★★★☆ 3.5 (213) • $$

"Overall, it stood up to the hype. Generous portion of carne asada in the soft corn tortillas. Pico de gallo and guacamole topped this one. And I tried a crunchy shredded chicken taco (they also have grilled chicken) that was topped with lettuce, tomatoes, & cheddar. Side of sour cream to layer on with their house red & green salsas. You know what, I also ordered a bean & cheese burrito to go so I could heat it up for lunch tomorrow! The cashier was really helpful with recommendations and the small dining room was filled with people making happy meal noises mmmm....ooooh.....yuuuuum :-)"

Salad and Go

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (25) • $

"2nd Visit report: I had a Cobb salad again. It was huge and delicious even better than the first one. It had a lot of white meat, tender and juicy and delicious avocado. Service by Felix was excellent. Salad and Go keeps getting better every time I visit.They get my vote for best salad chain in Metro Phoenix."

The Spot Cafe

★☆☆☆☆ 1 (1)

"Wish I could give 0 stars. The food is decent quality and freshly made, but that doesn't matter since the service is terrible. ALWAYS mess your order up or ALWAYS have miscommunication with the orders. They forgot to put my husband's order in so he had to wait another 20-30 minutes, and even after all that they forgot his fries! They wouldn't give him a refund and said fries would take another 20 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous. It's always complete incompetence."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (35)

"I ordered online using their app. The sandwiches were ready exactly when they said and they tasted amazing! This was our first time ordering from Mike's and we'll be adding it to the regular rotation. This would be a 5-star review except for one small nit. We ordered 4 sandwiches. When I arrived the place was empty and the three workers were hanging out in the back chatting. So it wasn't busy, at all. I get home and the 4 sandwiches are not marked or identifiable in any way. We had to open all the sandwiches and figure it out ourselves. We all had different types of cheese steaks so it was a little challenging. Is it too much to ask that you write the name of the sandwich on the wrapper when you have no other customers?"

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (41)

"This review is for the employee that was working on Tuesday 10/24 during the dinner rush.The line to order was about 6 to 10 people long and she kept her cool. She was friendly and helpful and not at all mad / annoyed that the line was long. Thank you for the great customer service!The food was good and we waited about 10 minutes for our order. We ordered a 12 piece spicy chicken family meal and it came with Cajun fries, mashed potatoes, and we got an extra small order of coleslaw. We also got 6 biscuits, a strawberry biscuit (dessert) and two drinks. Our total was about $50.The food was delicious, the dining room was clean, and the service was great! Thank you!Oh and the strawberry biscuit was not good, that's a pass. It was too hard and dry."

eegee's

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (151) • $

"I have been coming here non stop once a week for the past month because I just recently became obsessed with their frozen eeges.Jungle juice has been the flavor of the month and omg its delicious! I ended up downloading the app for rewards and I have already been gifted some good coupons and a few items for free.The bacon ranch fries are really good! The fries are hot and crispy and they make sure to load them up. I have only been thru the drive through and the employees have always been friendly. Service has also been fast. If you have not tried their frozen treats, what are you waiting for?!"

5th Street Burger & Fries

★★★★★ 4.6 (360) • $$

"Burger Fact: Americans alone consume approximately 50-billion burgers a year. The average American eats a hamburger three times a week!A friend of mine is the biggest 5th Street Burger & Fries fan. After some unrelenting provocation from him to try this place, a group of us decided to grab dinner here for takeout.The first visit was a $90 order. We're talking Nashville hot fries ($5.99), Steakhouse burger with chicken substitute ($12.99 + $1), 5th Street Burger Fries ($13.99), PB & PJ Burger ($11.99), Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich ($11.99), Chili Cheese Burger ($11.99), and a Steakhouse Burger ($12.99). The burgers were pretty decent, but the fries really weren't anything special. Just pass on the fries all together, and you won't be mad. I had the PB & PJ Burger, and while delicious, when comparing it to other PB burgers around town, they're good --- I've just had better. I wouldn't mind ordering this again, but I have my eyes set on the Chili Cheese Burger.Tip: Check your bags before heading out the door. They almost left out one of our burgers, and while the cashier was super apologetic and nice about the whole thing, the cook kept arguing and insisting that the burger should be in there. Just look in the bag. We never even left the property, so no underhand stuff is happening."

Rosie's Taco Shop

★★★★☆ 4 (73)

"Food is great quality, fresh, and I've not had a bad experience with their food. I usually use the drive through more but nothing is better than great Mexican food at a great cost."

Salad and Go

★★★★☆ 4 (8)

"Lettuce celebrate the newest Salad and Go in Gilbert!I love Salad and Go for many reasons. It's a fantastic concept with a variety of options. Salad and Go provides quick, customized salads or wraps that can be made to be gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan. I appreciate the availability of tofu, which is rare for fast-food chains. Not to mention, the prices are affordable.This particular location is conveniently positioned between my gym and my son's gym, with other gyms nearby. That was smart on Salad and Go's part. It has become my go-to for a healthy meal, especially after a workout when I don't feel like cooking.I have visited the drive-thru several times, usually for a salad, but occasionally stopping by for a cold brew. My favorites are the Thai salad and Jalapeño Ranch salad (minus the bacon) both with tofu. Each time, the salads have been fresh, prepared correctly, and the staff has been welcoming."

Two Hands Korean Corn Dogs

★★★★☆ 3.6 (5)

"I've been wanting to try this restaurant and finally had the opportunity to do so, today. I was greeted quickly and didn't wait too long for my food. I paid $14 for a corn dog, fries and a drink. They offer a variety of toppings and fillings. I don't like spicy so I chose the Two Hands dog with mozzarella and sausage filling. It was absolutely, amazingly wonderful! I told everyone I spoke to today about it. The fries were a bit spicy but I liked them. I chose a fruit punch slushy and am excited to try other flavors. Definitely, check this place out. It's sooooooo good!"

Old School Grub

★★★★☆ 3.8 (108) • $$

"We stopped in after setting up our both upstairs. One of the owners are a sweet couple and so so friendly. They had karaoke which made it fun. I had the cod dinner and it was awesome. We are from the Midwest and have had a hard time finding a good beer batter fish fry. My husband had the Hatch green chili burger and also enjoyed his food. We were impressed by both the owners stopping at our table to welcome us and thank us for stopping in. It was truly a great experience. Our waitress was also very attentive. Everyone was wearing a mask and it was a clean place."

Hot Dogs La Yaquesita

★★★★☆ 4.2 (44)

"Amazing Sonoran hot dogs!!!! I missed these from LA sooo much. I would go here more often if I lived closer :(. The truck was pretty easy to spot, it's in a parking lot with plenty of parking spaces. When we went, there was also a stand nearby with a woman selling delicious looking desserts. There aren't tables or chairs for dining, so we sat on a ledge/wall near our car. We got the Yaqui (original; $6) and the Chile-dogo ($7.50). They were amazing! We couldn't tell much of a different between the Yaqui and Chile-dogo in terms of taste (and presentation is very similar too). Both came with a chile pepper on the side. These hot dogs are LOADED!!! I've never had such loaded Sonoran hot dogs, but I loved it! They are on the smaller side, but that's why they're less than $10 (which I think is a great price for these). If you are very hungry or just eat a lot, I would recommend getting more than one. One was enough for me to get to a "good full" because I wasn't starving at the time. It was really messy to eat, so make sure you get napkins. There wasn't any spice to our hot dogs, so next time I want to try one that is spicy; I loved the Yaqui though. The workers were all very friendly and the service was relatively fast considering it was decently busy at the time. I can't wait to go back!"

Salad and Go

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (23)

"I love salad and go! Amazing prices for amazing quality food. This location just opened, of course it's busy, this is expected! I promise you it's worth the wait. The staff was working hard and they were so sincere about the long wait. I wanted to go there so I was totally okay with the wait. My go to favorite is the BBQ ranch with tofu wrap and the basil blueberry lemonade! Total for two meals and two drinks were $18. Can't beat that!"

Jollibee

★★★☆☆ 3 (482) • $$

"Did I earn my card back, G?? Psmooth972?! I'm giving this Jollibee location a solid 4 stars!! It's got a really pretty storefront, I'll start with that!I was gonna hit up the drive-thru, as I was in somewhat of a rush, but it was closed off, so I had to go inside. The place was well kept, and the dining room got a lot of sunlight from the huge windows. There was one person ahead of me. When it was my turn to order, I got 2 Peach Mango Pies and the Palabok Fiesta, finally. I was given one of those beeper thingies and thought it might take a few minutes, but to my surprise, it beeped in about 2!I walked up to the counter, and my bag was ready to go. It had everything plus a fork so I could start digging in. As soon as I got in my car, I couldn't help myself, lol! I grabbed that fork like there was no tomorrow and tasted the Palabok Fiesta for the first time ever.Now, here is where the 1 star went missing. The palabok is not horrible, but it could use a lot of improvement. The sauce is very bland and somewhat thicker than what I'm used to. The bihon noodles seemed to also be slightly overcooked as it had a mushy consistency. Besides the 2 slices of hardboiled egg (which I later discovered was actually 5-ish, they were stuck together), there's some kind of toppings like maybe ground beef or pork and what looks to be ground up pork rinds. Now, I can't go spilling my mom's secret recipe, but the sauce here could definitely use some additions to it. It's just a plain sauce, kind of like gravy. Overall, it was pretty decent for a fast food joint, but it needs some lemon wedges or calamansi!! If you don't know what that is, you're missing out! The citrus juice will definitely take it up a notch.Now, I am curious to try the Palabok from another location yet again to see if the noods are the same. Stay tuned for my next Jollibee review!! LOL"

Five Guys

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (7)

"The food is good. I love their food. The customer service is lacking. Avont was friendly and professional but that's it. The rest of the staff seemed put out by having customers enter the restaurant. If it weren't for Avont's pleasantness I would have left. Also, I didn't order as much food as I wanted because of the poor service. I didn't want to agree with the other negative reviews but sadly I do."

Sonora Taco Shop

★★★★★ 4.5 (209) • $

"OMG!!!!!! 100% amazing!!! Best place I have been and cheapest meal during our Arizona vacation! We found them from the Moon Baseball Road trip book and it did not disappoint!! We order at least one item from the whole menu. Everything was amazing!!!! We enjoyed the pastor meat the most but also got the steak for several dishes. The ladies behind the counter was super sweet. They helped us order, let me change my meat last minute, and even made our little ones meal even better by adding cheese!!!"

"Stopped in for a couple of breakfast burritos. I had bacon and wife had the sausage. Really good!!!!Did the drive thru and service was very goodOutside of building and parking lot was very clean and lots of parking"

Hope's Frybread

★★★★★ 4.6 (189) • $$

"I LOVE stopping on the side of the road up in the White Mountains and getting Fry Bread from those selling this goodness from a cart/tent...not many places can match them. I've heard great things about Hope's Frybread and checked it out today. Super friendly staff and the place was clean. Lots of seating inside along with some merch if you're interested. You order at the counter, take a number and have a seat...they bring your food out to you. I got the Navajo Taco and was concerned it wouldn't be big enough. Make no mistake, they're NOT the size of a taco :) It's about the size of a personal pizza. It was amazing! Chili beans with meat, cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato and salsa. I added the hot sauce to give it the extra kick. On a scale of 1 - 10, I'm coming back here again for sure! There's a hamburger option on the menu I wanna taste!"

Auntie's Soul Food & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (11)

"Fried chicken was crispy and juicy. Texture of the crust really was perfect and light. The fried fish had the same coating which is flour but I don't think it had any cornmeal. Just in case you have a preference that's good to make note of. Would LIVE it if they at some point have a spicy version of the chicken. Had cabbage and a spinach pasta (forgot the name) which was flavored really well. I could eat that pasta all day long and I'm not normally someone who goes for pasta dishes. Friendly service as well. The location is behind the emergency room and by Maricopa High School which is somewhat tucked away but worth the search. Will definitely be back!"

Arby's Roast Beef

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (53) • $

"My food was delicious, everything was on point! Fresh friendly service. James went above and beyond for us. That man ran my cup of cheese out the front door. Just to make sure we got it. Awesome service. Will be back!!"

★★☆☆☆ 2 (61) • $

"Everytime we visit this location our food is ALWAYS fresh!! Employees are usually nice and we never mind waiting a little for our food to come out fresh. Keep up the good work!!"

Gracie's Tax Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (133) • $$

"DJ Thursday night played The Specials to Fleetwood Mac. Big patio in the back with lots of seating. Bar has seating too. They have food as well. A dive bar with punk flair. Their parking lot is South of Gracie's, only 10 spots or so, best bet is to come early to snag a spot (like I did) or park in the neighborhood around it using the street parking available."Chopped Cheese" for $9 was good. Imagine a diced hamburger."

Salad and Go

★★★★☆ 3.6 (52) • $

"Just an update on the speed of this location. They were averaging about 30-40 seconds per car. Being 9 cars behind it took me a total of 5.5 minutes to enter the line and exit. They have drastically improved their speed today."

Salad and Go

★★★☆☆ 3 (68) • $

"This SaG location can be easily missed; for me as I turned right I did not initially see it tucked away but GPS did not steer me wrong. It shares the lot with the laundromat. When it gets busy the line will wrap around the building with just enough room to get by. As much as I love SaG's menu, sometimes it's nice to try something new! I decided to try the new Brussels Caesar salad with chicken ($5.74). At first I wasn't sure the Brussels, golden raisins, Parmesan crisps, and balsamic onions were going to work- that's a lot of different textures and tastes! But trust me- it works! Not only does it work, it's delicious!! The balsamic onions and golden raisins added some nice sweetness to the robust taste of the roasted Brussel sprouts. My only minor gripe would be that the brussels weren't even in size- they were either small or very hearty. Try the new Brussels Sprouts caesar while you can- it's my new favorite!!"

Maskadores Taco Shop

★★★★★ 4.5 (331) • $$

"Maskadores is still our local taco shop and we always bring our family and friends who are visiting as well. The food is always consistent and we really enjoy their tinga chicken and al pastor. I love how you can pick your own toppings and they are very generous; the tacos are always stacked. They updated their location and are still working on some renovations, overall the expansion looks really nice. Staff is always friendly and super fast even with long lines. Their churros are fantastic and always a must with your meal."

Whataburger

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (33) • $$

"For the most part, this location has not been a huge problem. The prices are fair. On the rare occasion, we have problems with not receiving parts of our order and it can be a hassle to have to go back or speak to customer service, so I recommend checking your bag before you leave, also check the temperature of your food. Staff are nice have never had bad customer experience otherwise."

5th Street Burger & Fries

★★★★☆ 4.2 (67)

"Was going to try Big Nates BBQ for lunch but I didn't feel like spending 20+ for lunch today.. Then I saw this burger place and it was close so I thought I give it a try.Little before 11 so only one table so my food was quick. Menu had good selections of food. I decided to go with spicy western burger. You can't go wrong with spicy. Wanted to try the fries so I opted for combo pack. I asked what makes it Nashville hot fries, she said seasoning.. I said meh... I'll try it. Burger looked pretty good. With the onion rings added I literally had to squash my burger so I can eat it.. I mean I tried without it first and I failed.Fries were hot, crispy and the seasoning was better than I expected. Burger... Well..... My first bite I was like hmmmm where is the flavor.. Where is the spice.. I was disappointed to see that they used canned jalapeño instead of fresh. Fresh makes it so much tastier IMO. Over all burger was grilled way I like it. Just under medium.. But it lacked in flavor so many ways. I don't know what constitute this burger western burger, (I know I know the stuff that goes on the burger). It really lacked flavor for me at least. I felt like I was eating just Ole regular burger. Was it bad? No, did I love it for me to say, I can't wait to try the other style of burger? Nooo. I did try the burger with the two sauce that came with it.. One tasted like water down bbq but too sweet for my taste.. Other one. Not bad.. I forgot the name of it. At least fries were pretty good with the seasoning. After spending $21 bux for burger combo I said to myself... Should have could have would have went with my first choice.Oh well, at least I tried something new. This place just wasn't for me."

Angie's Lobster

★★★★★ 4.7 (26)

"Today I came back to Angie's for their 1/2 pound burger and fries meal. It was a different experience. I went through the drive thru, and after I got the drinks from the window I was asked to pull around to the other side of the building to wait for my food, even though there was nobody behind me in the driveway. So rather than wait for my order in a shaded covered driveway I had to pull around into the sun and wait for almost 10 minutes. I now know that this was because they only have frozen beef patties, and cooking a half pound frozen burger takes a long time. My burger was still very raw in the middle, and I couldn't even eat the center part because it was very raw in the middle still. I love rare to medium rare meat, but I couldn't even eat the center of this burger. Angie if you want to succeed in this business then you have to make the customers happy, and you are closer to doing that at the Chandler store than ever, but some minor details are derailing your work. Why don't you have malt vinegar in this store? Why don't you allow customers to have the breakfast potatoes all day? Why do you even serve crappy shoestring fries, when you have wedges that people will return for? At least make them an option to the crappy fries! I really want to see this place do well here,so I pray that they'll listen to me!"
