18 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Crystal Lake

“Great gyro platter, enough for me and my HUNGRY boyfriend to share! Very friendly and courteous staff, highly recommend.“

“There are no words. Wonderful!!!“

“reasonable for the pasta!“

“Really enjoyed my visit to this Subway! From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. The store was clean and well organized, and everything looked fresh and nicely prepared. My sandwich was made exactly the way I wanted, and the ingredients tasted fresh and delicious.

I really appreciate the attention to detail and the great customer service. It’s not always easy to find a place that consistently provides good food, cleanliness, and friendly service all together. This location definitely made a great impression on me. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend this Subway to anyone looking for a fresh and quick meal!“

“Best chicken in Crystal Lake! Raising Cane's slaps the hardest. Their chicken tenders are goated and perfectly seasoned (and honestly, you don't even need the sauce). The fries are cooked to perfection and have an amazing crunch👌 and that Texas toast slaps! Skip the KFC, skip the Popeyes, skip Dave's Hot Chicken because Cane's is where it's at! The only place that even comes close to competing with Cane's in terms of chicken quality is the legendary Taco Bell. But Cane's somehow is even better! 🤯“

“Their custard is great! Loved the chocolate and toffee.“

“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!“

“my local jersey mikes is trash. this one in crystal lake is awesome. very friendly staff. last time my card wasn't working and the girl hooked me up. I like her the most at that store“

“Burger and fries were both great“

“Food was pretty good. I decided to try the gyro and was impressed. My friend's food looked good and their French fry were really good. The only thing I didn't like is they had the sodaachine behind the counter. They had a pretty extensive menu so I will definitely have to come back and try some more of the menu options. Located in crystal lake right off 14 so it's fast and easy for me to get in and out of there especially if I'm looking to have lunch and I'm rushing.“

“Absolutely love the soup and sandwiches! Head and shoulders above both Subway and Panera. And a shout out to the young man who made our sandwiches today. He dropped the mustard bottle on the floor while making the sandwich. What really impressed me was he picked it up and placed it in the sink, and grabbed a fresh one. It didn't matter that there was no way any dirt got in the bottle, he did the right thing.“

“The service I have received at Pop’s has always been exceptional and the popcorn 🍿 is the best anywhere. They make great snacks for any event such as weddings, birthdays, or even work events. I will continue coming here for their tasty hot dogs 🌭“

“Had a great time here at Arby’s :-) Customerservice was awesome also!“

“Yo! This place is off the chains! Probably the best Dairy Queen in the country imo“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars

I ordered Subway online and got the Meal of the Day — the tuna sandwich — and it was fantastic. Everything was fresh, made exactly the way I requested, and ready right on time. The tuna was creamy and flavorful, and the bread was soft and perfect.

The online ordering was smooth and easy, and my food was packed neatly and stayed fresh. For a quick, affordable, and satisfying meal, Subway really delivered. I’ll definitely be ordering this again!“

“I ordered lunch and needed to have it within 15 minutes and Jonathan happened to be the delivery guy for the job and arrived in perfect time and was very polite! I will definitely be calling back and hoping Jonathan will be delivering again! Thank you so much!“

“I came here on Friday, November 28, 2025 while I was in that part of Crystal Lake and it was really positive for my first time there. It was a slow lunch time on Black Friday and the employees were really positive and nice. You could tell how happy they were when the regulars arrived periodically. The food was good and I was even given a free coupon by one of their regulars which was sweet. (Written 12-6-25)“
