The Tastiest Fast Food in Phoenix

Chipotle Mexican Grill

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (259) • $

"I've dined at the Chipotle in Norterra several times with my family, and it's always a fantastic experience. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and exactly what you expect from Chipotle. The ambiance is pleasant, clean, and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual meal. The service is quick and efficient, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. We've never had any issues, and it's become one of our go-to places for a reliable and tasty meal. Highly recommend!"

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!"

Federico's Mexican Food

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (175)

"I've eaten here before and wanted to try their tostada this time . I had a bean tostada with the fixings. It was crunchy and fresh tasting, it hit the spot. Will be getting it again."

Del Taco

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (48) • $

"The only fast food worth eating. Del Taco is cheap, delicious, not-exactly-authentic Mexican food. Their beans and rice are vegetarian, and they recently began offering an entire menu of vegetarian/vegan items made with Beyond Meat. This location does not accept American Express for some reason. Maybe an Arizona thing? Who cares, order 8 items and your total will still be like $12.78. No road trip would be complete without a stop at Del, so we came here before a 6 hour drive home to California. This location is clean and the staff were super nice. I got the 8 Layer Beyond Burrito, which for some reason had all the meat on one end, and everything else on the other end. So, the first few bites were all sour cream, fake guac, cheese and tortilla. My boyfriend got some Beyond Tacos and we both noticed that the meat was slightly watery-an issue we have not encountered at other Del locations. Regardless, everything was tasty and kept me full for about 9 hours. Do yourself a favor and give Del a chance."

Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (14)

"This is a newer location in our area & we were excited because we do not have a lot of restaurants that's less than 8mins in our area. The first time we ordered from them our food was okay but we understood because they were only open for a month or so. We went 2 additional times after that & our food was always hot & fresh. Our only suggestion would be to make sure to season the chicken & or batter because it was missing. A tip: download their app for specials & to earn points for purchases/rewards."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (9)

"Of course Jersey Mike's has some of the most freshly made, delicious, stacked subs out there. But I don't know if they all have the same customer service as this one has. Every time I walk in they are so dang nice. They always have a smile on their face, and are eager to talk to you and server you. When I order ahead they are always right there ready to hand over your food. I love this location! Thank you for always filling my families bellies. Especially on those super busy days when we need something fresh and fast to grab and go!"

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."

Maskadores Taco Shop

★★★★☆ 4.3 (51)

"Good, fresh food at good prices. You place your order and they have you select your toppings before they complete it for you. Their salsa is actually spicy- like be careful spicy. They have multiple locations."

Pinnacle Grille

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (311) • $$

"I work down the road, so this is our go-to spot for lunch. Everyone loves the fries, whether the steak fries, skinny fries, truffle fries, or sweet potato fries. I've never had a bad burger or sandwich. My favorites are the Bleu cheese burger, club sandwich, and Pinnacle chicken as a wrap. The club is loaded with meat and very tasty aioli. Dawn, the manager, has been there a while and keeps everything running. We've held a few work events on the patio and they have always been accommodating. Plus, you can't beat the beautiful scenery with Pinnacle Peak right next door.Instagram: @msbusyblonde"

Burger King

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (52)

"The place isnt terrible. Its a definite step up from its sister location off of Miller Rd, but it still has its issues. Ive been here a few times and have been underwhelmed by its service. The only time it was a positive experience is when this location first opened. Now you're treated as a bother to the staff. I understand working a fast food job isnt the best experience, but you still have to be somewhat approachable. Also would help if you greeted your customers and not make them wait too unbearably long. The saving grace is that the food is pretty good for what it is. Havent really had anything particularly bad yet. The only thing that was bad was the wait for our food. People who had ordered after us were receiving their orders, while we waited wondering if we were forgotten. I might give this place one more chance, before i avoid it. Because I've gotten some iffy quality food and the service isnt something to admire. We'll see the next time if I'll actually come back."

Windy City Dogs

★★★★☆ 4.4 (85) • $

"Really great food. Always hot and the shaved ice is tasty. It's located in a nice quiet park with a baseball field, soccer field, splash pad, and skate park. There are no indoor tables but plenty of seating right outside. Also be aware there is no indoor door restrooms."

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."

McDonald's

★★☆☆☆ 1.5 (40) • $

"It's honestly my fault for even coming here. I was expecting terrible cold food and old food with a bunch of teenagers working but I wasn't anticipating how rude and careless they are and how they are just playing around at night. I would stay away from this location all together if you care about not your health but your food being sanitary."

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."

Salad and Go

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (41)

"I tried to walk up to make an order. Staff were nice but would not accept walk ups today. You can do a mobile check in if you have the app. I don't have the app and will consider getting it for the future. I was asked to use the drive thru. While the drive thru line seemed long (6th in line), it moved fast. I made my order of Thai salad and traditional lemonade. Staff are friendly and helpful.Their lemonade is just right! Not too sweet and not too sour, just enough lemon taste to know what it is. Good on a warm day. The chicken is somewhat spicy and still good. Good amount of ingredients including cucumbers, fresh greens, sweet red peppers and of course chicken. I have enough for later."

Carl's Jr

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (83) • $

"Hungry for a burger this evening, so the Hubs and I headed to Carl's.I do enjoy the Beyond Famous Star combo and chose that tonight, and he craved the Western Bacon burger combo.This location is freeway close and very clean.The employees were nice and the food came quickly. Hubby always orders large size and enjoys the soda fountain Dr. Pepper here :)The first time we came was when we realized two weeks ago it was open 24 hours . Just be aware that the dining room closes during the night, and the drive thru uses AI at the speaker. It was kind of strange, but OK. We'll be back. I love that Beyond Burger!"

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 :-)"

Burger King

★☆☆☆☆ 1.1 (76) • $

"Walked inside the Burger King restaurant today and respectfully requested Burger King's best breakfast. Was told by the cashier that the Egg-Normous Breakfast Burrito was their best breakfast. Paid @ $7 dollars, and patiently waited. About eight minutes later I was handed a brown paper bag with a small burrito inside. Opened the burrito to inspect its contents. I was caught off guard when I inspected the breakfast burrito. This burrito contained a couple of small pieces of bacon, some scrambled eggs, some cheese, and a couple of small hash browns all wrapped up with a cold and broken tortilla. I did not eat the burrito, instead I left the unappetizing burrito on the front counter and told the cashier that this breakfast burrito was unacceptable. Sub-par is an understatement. This Burger King is robbing their loyal customers by advertising amazing looking food, then doing the old bait and switch, and then serving their loyal customers unappetizing food. Burger King will not earn many new customers by knowingly and willingly short-changing their loyal followers by serving sub-par and unappetizing food. Poor customer service, and unappetizing food."

Wally Burger

★★★★☆ 4.1 (178) • $

"I love this place and so do the kids. It's fast and delicious, however, and I guess we can't blame the business, it's a bit expensive, so if you're looking for a quick cheap burger, this is not the place, but quick and delicious and price is not a consideration, then come on over and get yourself a blessing while you're at it.Lots of superhero's and games to keep the kids busy and you'll take lots of pictures without the cost of going to Disneyland or Universal Studios! Lol, fyi it's in the Target shopping center. Enjoy!"

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?"

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?!"

Wendy's

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (47) • $

"While picking up coffee nearby I Decided to stop by the drive thru here to get some quick breakfast before heading towards home. This location is so tucked away in the back of this large lot that I almost didn't see it. In all honesty the only reason I did was because I drove to the end of the lot to get easier access to exit on to Anthem Way. There was no one in site and the drive thru was empty. Score for me so I could get in and out hopefully. I ordered and had my food in under five minutes. Service was ok but nothing over the top. He almost forgot part of my order until I asked. Vibe is basic as you already know if you've been to Wendy's. It's fast food so it's nothing fancy. The parking lot was clean and easy to get out to the street nearby."

Filibertos Mexican Food

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (24)

"The food was good. I got a veggie burrito and tacos felt the burrito it could've had more flavor, the beans portion seemed like a lot compared to other ingredients. I was impressed with their portion sizes and how quick the service was. Would definitely try again!"

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

"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."

Arby's

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (30) • $

"30 minute, or 1 hour lunches? That is the question. Why can't there be a 45 minute lunch? 30 minutes is too short to go grab food, eat and enjoy it and get back to work. 1 hour is too long sometimes and you sit there for the last 20 minutes of your lunch break writing Yelp reviews at work (shameless plug!)! A 45 minute lunch would solve all these problem. A man can dream! Anyways............The other day, I had a 30 minute lunch. I decided to get in my car and drive down Bell. It was either going to be Arbys, Carls Jr or Jack in the Box (closest places I could get to and from within my 30 minutes!). I decided to stop at Arbys because I saw a sign that said "2 French Dips for $6.00". Sounded like a good deal. Went through the drive through, ordered exactly that, and was on my way.I unwrapped these sandwiches and was happy with what I saw. The bread was fresh, slightly crusty on the outside, and soft in the middle. The sandwich had a good amount of beef on it, and the cheese was melted nicely. The key in this whole sandwich was "the dip"! They provide you with a nice sized container of au jus to dip your sandwich in. Since the bread was pretty sturdy, it absorbed all the au jus really well. I have to say, I was way more impressed with these sandwiches than I thought I would be! They were very large and filling, and tasted great! Pair that with the $6.00 price tag and it was a great value, too! I usually pass Arbys on my way to somewhere else. I may need to change that and revisit their food and check out some of their other newer offerings more often! These sandwiches were very good!"

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."

"What a very nice crew at this location! Stopped here after a facial to grab a snack and the customer service was excellent! Merle was AWESOME and deserves a raise for being AWESOME!!! I absolutely love their French toast sticks as they are the perfect for a light snack before lunch. Easy to locate this location and plenty of parking."

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (153) • $

"Mmmm canes is so good. I love how simple the menu is. This location is new to my area and I'm glad cause it's super close. The food and service is always great. The lines can get pretty crazy but move pretty fast. This time around I tried curbside and they came out so fast when I got there. The value is worth it for this chicken. Also, don't forget the amazing nugget ice, makes everything taste better. The Texas toast is so random but soooo good, I like making a sandwich with it. Did you know you can buy jugs of the sauce? I didn't until I was doing DoorDash and several times people ordered over 64 oz of it. I mean it is good so makes sense!I love their tea as well, mm so fresh!"

"They do get very busy but they are fast. The food is always hot and tasty. You can change out your toast or slaw for double fries. Everyone is very friendly. Dinning room is clean as they have someone to work only in the dining area."

Royal Bourbon Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.4 (9)

"It is very clean and inviting. The people working truly care and want you to enjoy the food! We tried the Philly cheese steak sandwich, cheeseburger, fried okra, and jalapeños poppers. Everything was cooked to perfection and very fresh okra. Prices were very reasonable too. Best thing is that they did not cook it all in salt. Low Sodium is fantastic to get a true taste of meat! I am very happy to give five stars and I will definitely be back to work my way down the menu."

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."

Chick-fil-A

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (38)

"We were in the area after a family event and arrived about twenty minimum before closing. Luckily the line was short because we were starving. Service was great and we had our food before we even reached the window. Everything was hot and delicious. Can't speak of the vibe because we only did the drive thru."
