“I have the pleasure of eating at sharks in Des plaines this is extremely exciting because we don't have any near our area. The food was made of fresh to order they did it so quickly and the hospitality was out of this world! I got French fries chicken tenders shrimp and catfish nuggets and let me tell you they were to die for. The catfish nuggets were so good they still had the skin on them the shrimp is super juicy and the chicken tenders. I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family and I give it a 10 out of 10! If you are in the northwest suburbs and you want to taste of the South you have to stop here“

“We just popped in for a take out. We got there quick service that fast food restaurants promise and the friendly service one by now hoped and expects to get at Popeyes. The last time I had Popeyes food was in Florida, before Covid.
The automated ordering system is new and efficient.
The chicken was really good. We asked for half n half spicy, and got it. Just a little spicy. Really tasty, and really crispy! The biscuits that came with the man were fresh and great, and the cajun French fries were really, really good!
In all, a wholesome meal that the tastebuds gave a standing ovation for!“

“Omg! I'm a stickler for good service. The young lady working the cash register around 6:30pm on July 1st was AMAZING 😍. She greeted us, took our order with a smile, and chatted with our children about our recent plane ride after bringing us our food. And on top of that, the food was ON POINT - like seriously so good. The restaurant was clean and the music was a vibe. We will definitely visit Raising Cane's again in the future.“

“My FAVORITE five guys hands down!! Went in and got out in max 5 minutes! Someone took my order right away, all I get typically is a little Cajun fry with a side of mayo. It's always the best I've ever had when I get it here.

Fries were fresh, perfectly cajuned and portion was generous. I am so thankful for a location that does it right.

Thank you Five guys Des plaines for taking care of me and I will always be back!“

“I had order $6 biggie deal for dine in. I had cash the kiosk wasn't understanding me . My double stack chicken nuggets was good . Fries were warm I ate them first I hoping hot fries. Restaurant was very clean. Staff was very nice. Then I got large chili to go so I could eat it when got home because dark out I was walking. Chili has huge pieces of ground beef. I should be smaller pieces . I almost choked on one of huge pieces. Chili taste good but not worth price of chili anymore. It was $4.88 for large chili“

Her customer service goes above and beyond. She went out of her way to explain to me the 50/50 iced tea process when others would just hand it to you. Make sure she's recognized.“
