Mouthwatering Fast Food in Philadelphia

CM Chicken

★★★★★ 4.6 (127) • $$

"Delicious fried chicken! I recently went here to get the tikku chicken to go. The ambiance is plain but plenty of seating. Given the spiciness of the wings, I wish the store had pitchers of water available for customers if needed. I got my chicken within the promised 15 minutes and absolutely loved it. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, sweet, and spicy-make sure to have plenty of napkins! Although a bit pricy at over $18 after tax, I got a good portion. CM Chicken also has the added advantage of being by Drexel's campus and a four-block walk to 30th St. Station (and the best-looking restaurant nearby if you need food)."

Kumamon Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (105) • $$

"I like this addition to the local food scene. We go primarily for the robatayaki - but everybody that's had the raman rave about that as well. BYOB is a big plus in our book. Service can be a little sketchy occasionally , but great price points on the menu and selection. This is on the "regular" list...."

Have-A-Burger

★★★★☆ 4.1 (71) • $

"After really trying doctors appointment, I needed comfort food. This place is attached to a funky hockey rink, the parking is crazy but the food speaks for itself. I live close enough to as many greasy burger and fry places, this is not one of them. I'm not sure of the origin but they have been here for a while. The staff are very quick and friendly. I placed my order online to get in and out faster than having to wait behind a bunch of hockey kids and their entire families. The value is worth it. This is a surprisingly good burger place."

Cluck and Gills

★★★★☆ 4.1 (39)

"Saw a tik tok about this place and had to check them out. Came on a rainy night and there was still a crowd outside! Order ahead wasn't available, so we had to order at the window. The food is made to order so it does take a while for food to be done. The crab fries are delicious and the crab was fresh. The shrimp were missing something, I'm not quite sure what it is."

Nifty Fifty's

★★★★☆ 3.6 (50)

"The milkshakes are simply delightful. They varieties that they offer is above all the rest. This particular NF's doesn't have an eat in space. The service was very prompt and the people are pleasant."

Rock N' Rolls

★★★★☆ 3.9 (38) • $

"I was craving cheesesteak eggrolls and Rock N' Rolls popped up in my search results for cheesesteak eggrolls near me. I was happy to discover a place specializing in eggrolls. I couldn't resist ordering a selection of eggrolls to try. I started with the cheesesteak eggroll I was craving, then added a chicken cheesesteak eggroll, a veggie eggroll, and an apple pie eggroll for dessert.This place knows how to cook an eggroll! Each one was perfectly cooked and crispy with just the right amount of filling. The cheesesteak eggroll was delicious and satisfied my craving. My only minor gripe is that it could have used more cheese. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chicken cheesesteak eggroll I ordered. It was replaced with the Buffalo chicken eggroll. While it was tasty, it needed a dipping sauce to cut through the heat of the Buffalo sauce. You can order a dipping sauce with each eggroll, but since I didn't order this I had to drink water to deal with the heat. I did get a refund for the missing item. The veggie eggroll was as good as an eggroll gets without meat. I'm a big fan of apple desserts in general and the apple pie eggroll did not disappoint. A delectable dessert that provided a sweet ending to my meal. I do plan to order from Rock N' Rolls again when I want a cheesesteak eggroll. And maybe next time I will actually get the chicken cheesesteak eggroll to go with it."

Supreme Oasis Bakery & Deli-Philly

★★★★☆ 4.2 (27) • $$

"So this place is amazing! I had the fish nuggets, Mac n cheese and string beans! I also had the pineapple upside down cake and bought a bean pie for good measure! Everything was good!! Everything! Here's the thing though, it isn't a restaurant. It's like a stop in and pickup spot! Probably cuts down the overhead for the owner but you just order and grab food and leave. It is really cold, so wear a jacket... and they have great veggie and vegan options from cheese to non-meat options of the meals they serve! It's pretty awesome, no pork products whatsoever so that's a plus too! I'll definitely return! Pretty good soul food and the staff is super friendly!!"

Uncle Tomy's

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (36) • $

"I like this place, little corner pizza shop that serves wing, soup, cheese steaks, salads & etc.The wings are good, sauce on the side so they arent soggy. Pizza is good. No complaints, orders are on time, quick service, your in & out. Staff has always been nice, friendly and remember me when I come back. No kids or drug dealers hanging out on the corner, so I can walk in and out with out feeling like I'm gonna get jumped. Overall, 5 stars!"

Shake Shack Suburban Square

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (56)

"All Shake Shacks are the same, but this is the one my baby liked.... So , 5 stars!!!!"

Brooklyn Dumpling Shop - Philadelphia

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (32)

"It's an Amazon Locker-style "dumpling" spot, so it feels odd to really rave about or put it down or give it too much thought. It is what it is. Pros:+ Even though there's a wall separating you from the staff, I peaked my head in to see what was going on and the woman working was very sweet and helpful.+ The peanut sauce is very good.+ Open until 2am on weekends for your late night snacking needs. + Super easy order ahead process for those who want to walk in, scan a code, and be on their way.+ Leaning into the Philly love with their graphics and murals.Cons:+ Unfortunately most of the items we ordered (KBBQ dumplings, peanut noodles, soup) fell flat. The dumplings lacked flavor, the peanut noodles lacked substance, and the soup would really only be great if you're sick and need some heat in your sinuses.+ The impersonal vibes are not for me. I would much prefer to support real people and have the service experience when I stop by. Essentially, going somewhere a bit more delicious where I can also say hi to a human and engage in that way.+ We ordered at the kiosk since this was a last minute decision and the food still took about 15-20 minutes to be ready.I don't think I'll be back but glad to have at least SOME kind of fast casual food option open late on South Street."

Shake Shack Springfield

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (27)

"Sigh...maybe I'm a urger snob but...I used to love shake shck but this last burger was just eh. The portions are smaller and its giving upscale Mickey D's. No shade all 2024 I swear. The shake was.chill tho."

Rock N Rolls

★★★★☆ 3.9 (12)

"Finally made it to the brick and mortar after years of following on IG when they sold the rolls out of ShopRite. So because it was my first time and fam was in town we decided to do them all. The chicken and beef cheesesteak, the crab, the salmon, the general tso's chicken, the jerk chicken. We also did the sweet combo rolls. We took our rolls and a couple of bottles of wine and headed to our god mother's to surprise here with a night of rolls and wine! It was a hit! She loved the salmon rolls, filled with tons of salmon and so tasty. I loved the beef cheesesteak, general tso's and the crab rolls. One thing about these rolls is they are packed with yummyness and perfectly crispy on the outside and not at all greasy. The dessert rolls were all amazing but those funnel fries were so good! Staff was super friendly and suggested some items and you can tell they love what they do, all smiles. Meer was super sweet and blessed us with the sauces which they have plenty to choose from can't name them all but my fave was the habanero one. I'm due to get back and get me some mo!!! Rolls and wine for the win!!!"

The Broomall Grill

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Wow! I've been to a fair amount of gas stations with quick serve restaurants and this is by far one of the best I've had. The gentlemen that run the BP and Broomall Grill have got the right recipe. Fantastic breakfast at a minimum cost. We ordered enough food for a basic breakfast for 5, 3 adults and 2 children. We ordered 2 omelets, which come with toast and tater tots, the meat and the western which were HUGE, 4 pancakes, which we definitely underestimated, 2 waffles, and a sausage egg and cheese bagel. REAL EGGS, REAL MEAT with every food item. This is a fill up, besides the gas pump, that should be recognized for good eats. I wish I was hanging around to give the lunch or light dinner items a try, tacos etc. I love to support local diners and small businesses whenever possible. This spot did not disappoint. Thank you for a REAL breakfast."

Taco Bell

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (15)

"Super polite and accommodating staff. Dining room is sparse to maintain social distancing. (If you're reading this in the future just laugh at the struggle that was enduring covid). I asked for a cup of water for my little girl and was given a bottle of aquafina, I didn't order it but was told not to worry about it. Very nice. Food was prepared as specifically as it was ordered. I hate sour cream but my wife loves it and many places mess it up when we both order similar food items. Beans and rice is a great addition to their menu. Glad this location came in, very convenient spot, especially on Sundays!"

Chaat Wala

★★★★☆ 3.8 (5)

"Samosas are great; samosa chaat is even better. They 100% understand what "vegan" means, too! They've kept the coffee and ice cream from the previous tenants, and added kulfi."
