9 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Carpentersville

“Just had the best experience eating at popeyes today with my son. staff was great, food was so fresh and delicious. I don't usually choose popeyes when i come out to eat, but I definitely will be coming back way more often! If you haven't tried their nuggets, do it now!“

“After a rough couple of weeks, I really needed a win — and Sticky Fingers in Algonquin delivered in a big way. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine Southern hospitality.

We ordered fried shrimp, wings, and fries, and I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve never seen shrimp or wings this big. The homemade breading was golden perfection — light, crisp, and some of the best I can remember. The sauces were spot-on, adding just the right kick, and the fries nailed that magic balance: crispy outside, fluffy inside.

The little touches here really add to the charm. A bucket of lollipops and a bottle of Frank’s Hot Sauce sit on every table, and the décor gives the whole place a playful, welcoming vibe. Their canned soda selection is a nostalgic throwback — every flavor I loved as a kid — and the staff was so attentive and warm. Big smiles! They truly care about your experience.

Prices are very reasonable, and the daily specials make it even better (Lobster Sundays, anyone?). I even overheard other diners promising to return — and same here. I told the staff to get to know my face, because I’ll be back often!

Four more words: — Banana pudding. Caramel cake. 😮“

“I had a strawberry mango salad,chicken nuggets, sweet tea it was delicious I would have it again“

“I have been going to Luke’s since the 80’s. I moved away and still go there. Never had bad food or service. I wish I still lived close it was my Saturday movie night go to go beefs.“

“The man that took our order, and was at the first window that a young girl said his name was Tony… Someone give Tony a raise! He is the nicest McDonald’s worker I’ve ever met with such a positive smile ready to serve me with such a delicious meal, I don’t know if it was just because everyone was so nice but the food at this location was exponentially better than any McDonald’s I’ve ever had!“

“Such kindness…. Long day ….my sweet senior Bella had surgery on Thursday- I went to get her favorite 2 chicken tender (kids meal) the gentleman who worked the window offered her a pup treat! Little did I know it was a small scoop of ice cream with 2 adorable placed bones - it was darling and she licked it up! You made this little rescues day! Thanks for sharing your Bella story too- wish I got your name - you deserve a raise! Kindness always wins! Kudos to the Culver’s Crew!“

“Drive thru service is always quick and consistent. I've never had an order messed up, even with customizations.Shout out to Omar who works the window during weekday lunch. Bro recognizes my car in the drive thru and has my mobile order pulled up before I even get to the speaker. Never seen him upset or mad at a customer before, even during the rush.“

“Employees very nice and #6 very good.“

“I have been going to this place for over forty years and they still have one consistent problem that never gets solved. They short me items in the drive through. It doesn't happen with the dine-in and the food is always hot and fresh. I just wish they would teach the workers to count burgers and fries when they put them in the bag for takeout.“
