“THE BEST BURGERS AND SWEET POTATO FRIES IN ILLINOIS PERIOD! PLEASE GIVE YOUR EMPLOYEES A RAISE, they are all very kind and helpful! Also the turtle sundae was very delicious. The establishment is very spacious and clean. I love visiting places where the employees are having fun while still providing excellent customer service. It almost felt like i was in the krusty krab with a lot of spongebobs and no squidwards. ??

UPDATE 8/10 this time i had the classic chicago hotdog and sweet potato fries! Unfortunately this time around the hot dog was not all that great, very bland and actual weiner didn’t have much flavor and the sweet potatoes were a bit burnt, but i think this is a minor mistake than can easily be fixed in the future! Can’t wait to be back!“

“I like the place. Very friendly people working there and the customers. But it is no ones business how much I spend or win, and I hate having someone stand behind me and watch me play. The guy was with his wife, he should of been standing behind his wife and not standing behind me and this other lady was complaining about it to. Its very wrong. If hes not play then he should wait for her on the sofa. You just dont know if they are gonna be waiting for u outside to rob u. I will try again 1 more time, if it happenes again. Im out of there.“

“I have been to Stellas at least a dozen or so times. I can only speak for myself and share my experiences. There have been at least 4-5 different people working upon my visits. The staff have always welcomed me to the establishment an have always asked me if I wanted something to drink and or something to munch on at no cost to me no matter how much I ate or drank. That being said I’m sure there’s drinks or eats at a cost. No persons or employee has ever watched what I did or how much money I spent. I know it’s called gambling for a reason. I don’t play around with money I can’t stand to lose. Thanx Carrie n Candi“

“Always a Panera fan. Good food, made fresh. The only suggestion I have for improvement is that they use the Pick-up Parking Spaces more often for the drive-thru. It would make things flow better - and honestly that's what those spaces are for.“

Friendly staff, great food, and amazing atmosphere are just some of the things that contributed to my unforgettable experience. Not only was there little to no wait time, the workers were very patient and kind towards me while I was ordering my food. After receiving my food, the least I can say is that I was simply blown away. The portion sizes are immaculate and the flavors are unlike anything I’ve had before. I will definitely be returning here for my future meals and I can’t recommend it to others enough.“
