“New management. The fries are now fresh cut instead of crinkled. I ordered a double cheese burger. It was delicious and huge. I actually had to eat it with a knife and fork. You are now advised, chili was good but very SPICY. Tamale is the normal american kind. Very happy with my take out.“

“This McDonald's has become my go-to in the area, and for good reason! While no place is perfect, the very few mistakes I've encountered here over numerous visits have been corrected quickly and with a smile. That's a testament to their truly kind and efficient staff.
Their positive attitude is infectious; it's easy to be kind in return when you're met with such consistently good vibes. It makes the whole experience, whether I'm using the drive-thru or opting for curbside pickup, genuinely pleasant.
The food is reliably good, hitting that classic McDonald's spot every time. Coupled with the great employees, it’s a winning combination that sets this location apart. I can't speak to the interior since I haven't been inside, but the exterior is always kept impressively clean, which I appreciate. If you're looking for a dependable and friendly McDonald's experience, I highly recommend this particular restaurant. They definitely know how to treat their customers right.“

You have an absolutely charming personality and made my mother in law’s birthday dinner an experience to remember!

We will be back and we will be sure to come when you are serving! Thank you Hector!!!“

“Great tasting Zabiha Halal food. We ordered the Gyros sandwich, Chili Cheese Dog, and Spicy crispy Chicken Sandwhich.

Zaid (owner) is polite and service was fast. Highly recommend.

“I went here to celebrate a birthday and I absolutely loved it. I got the chicken sandwich and my partner got the 8am burger with fries. They give you a mountain of fries. Both sandwiches were big and left me feeling full. The chicken is fried like a fish and I love the breading. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for varieties of burgers and a pretty chill restaurant environment. Parking was easy to find (street parking) and they have some games in the back while you wait for your food which is nice.“

“1st time trying this place in Des Plaines and I must say that the bumper fries, bumper chicago style hotdog, chicken tenders with the honey mustard sauce which was great paired together and the bumper burger was all amazing 😋 👌 Definitely a must try🙌 I also like that it's all Halal meat so it's never frozen always fresh ❤️“

“Amazing, you got to try this place.“

“Astonishing that it's still around. I was 10 when it opened in 1948 and to get a double decker at HH was close to heaven. Across the street was Prince Castle, long gone, where you could get a slider for much less money. HH was a splurge and it's wonderful to see it live today.“

“Really nice place for real good food. My family and I stopped in after a trip into town for an escape room. We had the foghorn chicken sandwich, burger, mashed pot and gravy, tenders, nuggets, and fries. The burger and mashed we're recommended by staff and were terrific.
Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. Recommend if you're looking for awesome food at a great price too.“

But unfortunately with the food itself it was very mid. (See reviews on bottom)

We got 2 sliders each (1 beef and 1 chicken) and the portions were very small compared to what was expected.

Review:
Beef slider 6.2/10
Chicken slider (spicy and juicy) 7.3/10“
