13 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Crystal Lake

“The cashier was smiley and friendly. Received our order pretty quickly, too. The reasons I didn't rate 5 stars is because the toast was barely toasted and a bit soggy, and the chicken tenders seemed very small for the price. Not to mention, half of the breading came off of one of my tiny tenders. Overall the flavor was decent. The Canes sauce is the only reason for the 4th star. Had a much better experience the time before. I'll have to give it another shot a different time.“

“reasonable for the pasta!“

“Always a great experience at the Crystal Lake CFA! Recently placed a catering order - everything was delicious, hot, ready on time and, as always, the staff were wonderful!“

“I always love coming here. The customer service is exceptional and Yash is one of the most kindest and warmest employee here. You always get positive vibes here. It’s one of the better subways to eat at. Sandwich making is exceptional here!“

“Burger and fries were both great“

“I visited the Crystal Lake Culver’s on Saturday, May 24th, 2025. I am an avid fan of Culver’s and I have visited 35 locations in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri and Kentucky. As a resident of Crystal Lake I visit this Culver’s very regularly. The food was excellent and the service was quick. I definitely recommend the ice cream and the chicken. 5/5 I will definitely be back very soon. (Written 6-3-25)“

“We used to come here every time we traveled through the area and actually go out of our way to go there. We used to live in the area. I was always impressed on how the man behind the counter could remember the orders and not write them down. The food was always great. We were there recently and it seems they changed owners? The Italian beef is still good, I ordered a Chicago hotdog. There was no poppyseed bun and way too much mustard so that the bun fell apart. The hot dog itself didn’t taste the same either.They used to have booths with soft seats which were nice for elderly people. All they have now are long tables and small bar stools to sit on which was an option before. Hard to be comfortable. It’s a different person taking orders. I was disappointed and we probably won’t go out of our way to come back.“

“There are no words. Wonderful!!!“
