Gianelli's Drive Thru Reviews
Great gyro platter, enough for me and my HUNGRY boyfriend to share! Very friendly and courteous staff, highly recommend.
Well, we wanted to love Gianelli’s Drive Thru.
The menu looked amazing with tons of great options. The decor was super fun, the place was really clean, and it wasn’t busy at all. There was one car in the drive-thru and just a few people inside. Honestly, it looked really promising.
But after we walked in, someone said, “We’ll be right with you”… and then never came back. We waited at the counter for 15 minutes while staff walked by and completely ignored...read full review
First time there. Definitely not my last. Had the Chicago Dog and fries. And an Italian Beef with sweet. Both 5 STARS!!
Next time I'm ordering the "Bada Bing".
The menu is huge. So little time.

Gianelli's Drive Thru is a cozy, low-key restaurant that offers a variety of tasty options like the half Italian Beef sandwich with hot peppers. The Chicago "Vinnie-Beef" Stuffs are highly recommended, and many customers enjoy the hot dogs, which are a local favorite. The restaurant also features lots of grilled classics like burgers. Gianelli's is located in a quieter part of Crystal Lake, near the Snap-On plant, making it a hidden gem known for its excellent food and great service. Customers praise the friendly staff and fast service. The homemade chips, beef, and gyros are particularly popular, with many saying they are highly praised. The char-grilled chicken Caesar wrap is a standout, especially with added croutons for extra crunch. While the mozzarella sticks are average, the marinara sauce is delicious. There is plenty of seating inside for those who want to eat immediately, as well as picnic tables outside. The dining area features different styled tables, creating a comfortable and relaxed environment. The drive-thru offers quick service with food served hot and fresh. The menu includes a Euro platter and the Santa Fe wrap, which has been described as truly delicious. Overall, Gianelli's has a lot to offer, making it a place customers look forward to returning to.
