The Yummiest Fast Food in Orlando

Satu'li Canteen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (666) • $$

"Satu'li Canteen is located in the Pandora section of Animal Kingdom. In the Disney universe this is one of the better quick service casual restaurants for those visiting Animal Kingdom. I had lunch there last week while visiting one more time this Park.It has indoor and outdoor seating and to save a little time I ordered my meal thru the app. I ordered the combination bowl of beef and chicken for my protein along with rice and beans for the base and for the sauce the charred vinaigrette for 17.49.The bowl was interestingly looking with the smoked chimichurri beef and chopped wood grilled chicken on the beans and rice. Taste wise, I liked it but while the rice and beans were good, I would like to try the same protein with noodles next time. The meal was also filling and somewhat of a bargain for Disney food. I give a 3 score here because the food was good."

Mrs Potato

★★★★★ 4.5 (515) • $$

"I have been wanting to try Mrs. Potato for some time and was so glad to finally get the chance to go. The restaurant is a little smaller than I anticipated, but they do have outside seating. There weren't many people there when my party of 5 arrived, so we didn't have to wait long for a table. A big rush did come in about 20 minutes later and there were people waiting to get a seat. The food itself was fantastic. Everyone loved their rosti--we all ordered and tasted around the table. The favorite was the rosti with shrimp, but the everyone loved what they ordered (broccoli cheese/philly cheesesteak/chicken). The also ordered a few appetizers and loved them all. The rosti is HUGE, so expect to bring home leftovers."

Beefy King

★★★★☆ 4.4 (499) • $$

"Just an Orlando staple, been here since forever. Always enjoy coming here, the orange shake is amazing and the roast beef sandwich was great. Only problem is I don't see a huge difference btw the jr vs XL. The price is $4 there might be a little more roast beef, but the size of the sandwich is about the same, the drink the same, and tater tot the same. Next time I won't upsize."

Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers

★★★★☆ 4.3 (515) • $$

"Freddy's located on Vineland Ave, by the Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets and by I-Drive, is a great place to get some burgers & fries!Reminds me a lot of this fast food chain we have in Boston, called "Tasty Burger". Serves patty melts, burgers, hot dogs, fries, milkshakes, etc. I enjoyed the bacon double cheeseburger from here and the fries were solid for what it was. Not bad for a fast food chain, I actually kind of liked it ;) Will be back next time I'm in Orlando !"

Shake Shack Winter Park

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (660) • $$

"First off, the outdoor lakeside views at this location are off the charts and now that the weather is starting to cool down, al fresco dining is sounding very appealing. Is the parking lot shared with Trader Joe's and other businesses an absolute nightmare? Yes. But at least the peaceful view makes up for it.Shake Shack has become one of my guilty pleasures and dare I say even one of my favorite burgers? Don't come for me, but their SmokeShack burger is freaking good. It's a cheeseburger topped with applewood-smoked bacon, chopped cherry peppers, and ShackSauce on a toasted potato bun. The sweet heat from the cherry peppers really hits the spot. Occasionally, this burger is BOGO on UberEats which really makes for a quick lunch for me & my husband at a great value. We split an order of fries and sometimes even a shake to round out the meal. I'm not a huge fan of their fries, but they need to bring back their BBQ seasoned fried they had for a limited time. Those were the best ones I've had there. The cheese fries are pretty good if you can eat them immediately while they're fresh. Otherwise they just get cold & soggy.I tried their crispy chicken bites for the first time recently, and I'm really impressed with the flavor. If I get a shake, I usually go for one of their seasonal flavors like key lime pie or peaches & cream. I know they just released their holiday shakes which I have yet to try. I'm also a fan of their fresh flavored lemonades and teas that change seasonally.I don't mind the easy kiosk ordering in the store. But mostly I appreciate that the food is prepared fresh and I don't feel super gross after eating Shake Shack, even if it is fast food."

Oh My Gyro

★★★★★ 4.5 (241) • $

"This place was good. I think the gyro was a bit too saucy which isn't something I'd typically complain about, but the sauce was thin and it was a total mess. Otherwise the flavors were there. It could've used a bit more meat too. The fries were seasoned well but they were undercooked and just warm. The samosas were great though and had an awesome spicy mint sauce with them. I'd eat here again but they could definitely button up their menu items to make them stand out against the other local joints. They are in a teeny strip mall right on 434 and were pretty dead inside. It's not really a place you'd sit in and eat although they have a few tables. It's more of a grab and go ambiance."

Sushiology

★★★★☆ 4 (281) • $$

"Great place with reasonable sushi. We got the fancy rolls, soft shell crab, & shumai shrimp dumpling. Everything came out delicious."

MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes

★★★★☆ 4.3 (180) • $$

"Mooyah has been our family favorite for burgers for quite some time. Everything is delicious, especially the fries and shakes!The sweet potato fries are the best I've ever had. Always crispy and just the right touch of sweetness. Food quality and freshness is always consistent.We can't forget the friendliest service. Cashiers are always welcoming with their smiles and they even go around and pick up trays. Restaurant is very clean and inviting."

Culver's

★★★★☆ 4.2 (187) • $

"This Culver's location is the best. The staff are so friendly. The food is always fresh. Always my go to spot for a good burger and cheese curds."

Huey Magoo's Chicken Tenders - Championsgate

★★★★☆ 4.4 (166) • $$

"It's pretty good for a quick and easy meal. The chicken is always crispy, and the sauces are awesome. I do wish there was an option for sides other than french fries, bread, and coleslaw. The chicken, from time to time, has that weird chewy consistency that chicken sometimes gets, but I dont know why and probably don't want to know. The watermelon ice tea is very sweet but so good. I like to mix it with some regular unsweet tea. So, the sauce and drinks are a win. The chicken itself is hit or miss. And the sides could use an upgrade."

Pongu Pongu

★★★★☆ 4.3 (147) • $

"Hungry after an expedition through Pandora? Did your Flight of Passage or Na'vi Rivet Journey leave you a bit thirsty?Head over to Pongu Pongu, which means "Party, Party" in the language of Na'vi, for a light bite or a refreshing drink. Stopped for a quick snack as an eco-tourist. Loved the visit to Pandora via Alpha Centauri Expeditions (ACE). The floating mountains, bioluminescent river and mountain banshees were quite magical.Grabbed drinks and three oversized pretzels with beer cheese for our party of 10. So nice to dip the hot pretzels into the creamy warm cheese dip. A perfect midday snack at Pandora-The World of Avatar."

PDQ - Clermont

★★★★☆ 4.2 (147) • $

"I like PDQ's chicken, I usually order the Chicken Tenders or Chicken Nuggets. I got the 4 piece chicken tender meal with waffle fries today. The chicken was a little overcooked and dry, but it's nothing I'd complain about. I got the PDQ sauce to go with the tenders, which I wish you can buy a bottle of it because it's really good. The fries were delicious and were not over or undercooked. I went through the drive thru so I can't comment about the inside. The drive thru staff were friendly though."

Loading Zone Philly Steaks

★★★★☆ 4.3 (136) • $$

"This place is fabulous!!!!! It is the closest we have had to Jim's on South Street since we left the Philly area!!!And definitely give their tots a try!!!! Sooooo good!"

Chicken Guy!

★★★☆☆ 3 (278) • $$

"Love the chicken here! I genuinely don't understand why this place doesn't get more positive reviews. It's all around one of the better "fast food" restaurants amongst all the rest and the food quality is consistent (prices are reasonable as well) so I'm not sure what else you can ask for. I do like spicy, but I'm not a fan of the seasoning they put on their hot tenders (I wish I could put my finger on what it is - but I find it overpowering). However, the regular tenders are delicious and on par with a sit down restaurant (even better in some cases). The fries are seasoned very well and they have a wide range of sauces to choose from. The "special sauce" is by far my personal favorite, with garlic parm coming in second place.The interior is fun to look at it. This location is clean, well maintained and the staff is very friendly. If you have a fast food craving and you're looking for above average chicken tenders, this should be on your list if you have yet to check it out."

Culver's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (173) • $$

"And I thought Chic-fil-a had long lines at the drive-thru...the drive-thru line at Culver's reached at the intersection entrance. Was no different inside. Place was full of people. The employees were bustling back & forth taking and serving people's orders. The dining area is large accommodating 2-4 people. The restaurant offers a variety of items such as:* butterburgers* chicken tenders/sandwiches* sandwiches* sides/seafood/salads* cold beverages * frozen custard (mixers, shakes, sundaes, cones)* kid's mealsA female employee was nice enough to be a bit patient as I decided on what to order. I finally decided on a crispy chicken sandwich basket (comes with fries and a drink) and a butterburger. After paying, I took a seat at an available table. My order arrived a few minutes later. Started with the fries which was hot and crispy. The crispy chicken sandwich was exactly that...crispy and very tasty. The butterburger was a bit bland, but it was pretty decent...I just enjoyed the chicken sandwich way more. I was too full to try their custard. Gives me a reason to come back."

Smashburger

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (174) • $

"Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed in this burger place. It was my first time here and most likely my last. My mother got the classic burger, which she enjoyed, and I got the avocado bacon black bean burger which I didn't actually enjoy too much. I ordered online, picked up immediately, but both of our burgers were lukewarm by the time I got home. For the black bean burger, there was way too much mayo I had to scrape it off - It really overpowered the entire flavor (I don't like Mayo on my burgers too much, I would have removed it if I knew they coat it on thick. You can see how much I removed on the plate in the attached picture). I only got 1.5 slices of avocado on the burger, which was disappointing given that I ordered an avocado burger."

Arepas El Cacao

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (208) • $

"This is a hidden gem on the side of the road which is not easy to get into. Know that the parking lot is tiny and there is only one road in/out. I might reccommend parking in one of the adjacent lots and walking through the parking lots. I'm sure that's frowned upon, but will make your life much, much easier when you arrive and depart. Also, the service is a bit slow, but, I don't think you'll mind once you have your food - totally worth it. Onto the food, it's excellent! The arepas have tons of flavor and are very filling; you definitely don't need more than one to feel full. I'm bummed that I haven't tried a smoothie yet. As I watched them be made, they looked incredible; definitely on the list for the next visit. I got the arepa with beef inside and I want to try others, but that will be a difficult choice since that one was so good."

Jollibee

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (206) • $$

"I'm glad to see a Filipino favorite here on Colonial drive. Okay now Florida has two locations. Now it's time to bring this chickenjoy to Atlanta or better yet, Marietta."

Golden Krust

★★★★☆ 3.8 (131) • $

"Come for the patties and the patties won't disappoint. The rest of the options have much to be desired, but the patties are solid and what they're built on. Most have a golden crust (imagine that) which is a container for various fillings. 5 Stars for the patties.They also have a bunch of sides (what I tried was 2-3 stars) and at times, their LTOs (Limited Time Offerings) can be good. We went when they had the vegan meat patties and they were out of them. I wish they had all the time. They have some veggie patties but I tried a bite and wasn't a fan. Their meat Patties are good too though. My visits here may be few and far between, especially with Island Thyme within walking distance to my home, but it's a solid place to stop for a snack if you're visiting Home Depot, Sleep Number, Michaels, or something else in the most inconvenient plaza in Waterford.I think they were on Undercover Boss one time, and they also have their products in the frozen food section of grocery stores, In fact, I just scored their Beyond Meat patties at Publix so now I may never have to endure the logistical nightmare of going here."

Shake Shack Mall at Millenia

★★★★☆ 3.8 (127) • $$

"You can't go wrong with a shake shack burger. I enjoy going to shake shack since their burgers are always up to par Everytime I do order. I've been to this location many time and it has always been consistent. It is pretty expensive for what you get, but worth it. Their bacon cheese fries are good as well. I enjoy their seasonal flavored drinks they offer."

PDQ Orlando: Hunter's Creek

★★★★☆ 4.2 (103) • $

"We come in here often and most of the time it is a good experience Today service was great we got our meal in 4 minutes but food temp was not there both the fires and chicken was lukewarmWe had the crispy chicken deluxe"

Chick-fil-A

★★★★☆ 3.9 (113) • $

"Always been a fan of chick-fil-a since I was aTeenager shopping in the mall on weekends. This location is great because my son loves to play on the small play area. Help him build and appetite and ware him out."

Chick-fil-A

★★★★☆ 3.6 (130) • $

"It would be nice if when being serviced by the drive thru everything asked for is in the bag.I'm from out of town and passed by on the way to my hotel just to get back to my room and realize stuff was missing. No one wants to go all the way back and when I called the manager seemed disingenuous and kept saying "that's unusual we have someone that usually does that" as if human error is impossible! I get it's busy and it's the drive thru but if your sole job is to add objects to the bag and only I'm not sure where the mishap happened and the manager could have been more apologetic about it."

Shake Shack Florida Mall

★★★★☆ 3.9 (110) • $$

"While wandering around the Florida Mall at lunchtime, I headed over to their food court area to find throngs of people crowded around every eatery and nary a table available. The area was so hot and stinky-sweaty I had to get out of there! Still hungry, I saw Shake Shack in a separate corridor and decided that was the place for me.I ordered at a kiosk. A Shackburger with fries and, because it was so hot and humid and my body was craving it, a gigantic bottle of water (rather than my usual milkshake). Do Floridians really get used to this heat and humidity?I took a seat in the dining area and my food was soon brought to my table. Both burger and fries were very good and I sucked down that entire bottle of water by the time I finished eating. If you happen to be at this enormous mall and don't feel like fighting mobs of people when hunger hits, check one of those mall maps to find Shake Shack and enjoy a great burger."

PDQ Orlando: Waterford/UCF

★★★★☆ 3.9 (103) • $

"This place is always very quick with a good portion of food for the price. I always get chicken tenders and fries with the buffalo bleu sauce and it's the best combination when I'm craving fried chicken. Definitely one of my favorite places for chicken tenders!"

Chick-fil-A

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (142) • $

"I decided to try a new location as opposed to my normal location close to the mall. Breakfast time around 8 am was nice and fast. Everyone was polite like the old days. I heard my pleasure 3 times which was nice. I asked for sauces they explained them and made recommendations. All of this was through the drive thru speaker. All in all it was a perfect quick and accurate stop on my way to work! Excellent job am team!"

Five Guys

★★★★☆ 3.5 (122) • $$

"Delicious burger . The "little" is one paddy and the regular is two. Bacon cheese all the way = perfect. Love the free peanuts. A small fry is plenty to share as well. Drink machine has over 100 options between all the add in flavors. Very clean surprising with the free peanuts. Staff was very efficient and pleasant. Great first time at a 5 guys."

Chick-fil-A

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (129) • $

"I am updating my review as this location has undergone renovations and a clear change in management. Wait time has virtually been eliminated in both in restaurant and drive-through options. There is always a ton of helpful and friendly staff so kudos to them."

Chick-fil-A

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (152) • $

"This place is always packed but never any long lines inside even with a few people inside and some in the drive thru. The food is good but a bit overpriced, for $9 you get a combo meal with a sandwich and fries and a drink. Overall good ambiance, the places is kept clean and staff is friendly."

QDOBA Mexican Eats

★★★★☆ 3.7 (103) • $

"What a great lunch! I had a salad bowl with black beans and veggies as the main. It was one of the freshest salads I have had in a long time and I'm so glad I got it. It also had quite a few great add-ins which really added to the great flavor. P.S. the guacamole is free!!!I will definitely go back and you should go too!!"

Five Guys

★★★★☆ 4 (87) • $

"Five stars for food, not for ambiance. I love their burgers and hot dogs. The hot dogs are kosher which means all beef. I like the way they grill them.They have a lot of free toppings. The toppings that I like for the hotdogs are raw onions mustard tomato relish pickle on the side and jalapeño on the side. The toppings that I like for hamburgers are pretty much the same minus the relish.There are delicious free peanuts to Eat while you wait. You can have unlimited peanuts. Are usually drink water but I noticed there is a Coca-Cola 100 machine I think that's what they call them where they have all different so it is and you just push them to make your own combination of soda syrup that dress. The parking lot is small so you may have to walk a little bit."

Potbelly Sandwich Shop

★★★★☆ 4.3 (75) • $$

"I've passed the sandwich shop a couple of times in them, shopping village and never gone in. What a mistake. I wish I'd gone in on the 1st day it opened! These are the most incredible sandwiches and salads. Very very tasty incredibly good and a very, very clean spot, my daughter was the one that recognized the name and said that she had one out in the northwest and it was absolutely incredible so in we went Will be going back regularly now, my daughter was the one that recognized the name and said that she had one out in the northwest and it was absolutely incredible... so, in we went! And will recommend to everyone! !"

Culver's

★★★★☆ 3.6 (102) • $

"Wow, our visit definitely exceeded our expectations for a quick lunch. The drive thru line was busy so we opted to go in to place our order. The server was friendly and gave great recommendations and service was fast. I inhaled the double cheeseburger when we got home. The patty was crisp on the edges but so moist and juicy, the toppings were fresh and although we brought it home, the bun was not soggy at all. My husband got the grilled chicken and it was nothing close to what other fast food places give you, it was an unmodified piece of chicken that was grilled, just like it should be. Moist and juicy, not dry at all. French fries were crinkle cut and were fine, crisp and hot. We enjoyed Culver's much more than we thought we would and would be back to try other menu items."

Restaurantosaurus

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (121) • $$

"Restaurantosaurus, located in Dinoland, has evolved over the years from a standalone bar to an integrated part of the restaurant. Here, guests can enjoy specialty margaritas, cocktails, and a wide variety of beverages, all creatively named to enhance the experience. Drink prices typically start at $14.99. One of the highlights is the playful decor, which frequently features Mickey Mouse themes, adding a touch of Disney magic. The service is fast and the staff super friendly. If you're visiting Dinoland, this spot is definitely worth a stop to relax and enjoy a refreshing drink."

Culver's

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (112) • $

"We were traveling from Miami to Orlando for hours, and we're getting near to our destination. While driving in Colonial Drive, we passed by one of the Culver's locations, and since we were super hungry and thirsty, decided to stop, sit down and order some food. This location's cleanliness was pristine. My sister went into the women's bathroom and noted that they even had towelettes! Ordering is super simple, and the servers are incredibly friendly, patient and helpful. We ordered a "butterburger" with mushroom and Swiss combo which is one of their specialties, some onion rings and a chocolate "concrete" with cherries and and peaches add ons. My sister ordered a small butterburger with cheese, fries and a drink. The meat in the burgers was "smashed" which made them ever so delicious. The fries and onion rings crunchy and freshly fried. But the chocolate concrete was amazing! We loved Culverts (there's none in Miami or in MD)!!"
