50 Best Burger Restaurants near East Dundee

“Loved everything about our first experience! Great food, service and atmosphere!“

“River Lee’s is exactly what a dive bar should be. The cozy atmosphere, dimmed by glowing neon signs, makes it feel like you’ve stepped into a time capsule in the best possible way. Nothing fancy, nothing fake — just old-school charm. The beer is cheap, cold, and served without pretense, which is exactly why I’ll keep coming back. If you’re looking for polish, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for character, you’ve found it. River Lee’s gets it.“

“Yummy 😋 Good ice cream 🍦“

“Had the ghost pepper chicken sandwich, boyyy was that delicious and spicy!
Went thru the drive thru they forgot my sauces for the nuggets had to go back and get them luckily we always check our order before we leave no biggie! Customer service was great and efficient
A lot of spots to park bathroom was clean“

“Although the food was very good and the band was excellent, the service had a lot to be desired. Several people at our table had to go to the bar themselves to get drinks as the waitress just wasn't coming back. Also, the drinks weren't always made correctly so the people at our table returned them.“

“Excellent food 👌👌
Fried Chicken,Noodles, Burgers, Every thing was great and Fresh.
Best Spicy fried chicken in Schaumburg/Stream wood area.
Asian lady at front desk was very nice .
Only (Negative) thing about this place is that They close at 9 pm even on weekends.
I think they should open till late.“

“We celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday at Tracks and it was absolutely perfect! The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the staff; i.e. Emily and Kelly went above and beyond to make it special. Our guests are still raving about it. Look forward to going back!! Sincerely, Glenn Fredricksen“

“Great service. Delicious food.“

“Ate there last night. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I’m pretty picky about vodka pasta and this one was the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant has such a fun modern 1920s vibe. They also have a kids menu so it’s great for date night or a family outing.“

“Best burgers and chicken strips.Check out the onion rings too.!!“

“One of the best Italian beef sandwiches I’ve ever had. Service was extremely fast and friendly and we got our food within minutes.“

“Excellent selection and an incredibly knowledgeable staff! Their expertise really enhances the shopping experience. Outside of their amazing meats, don’t miss the burnt ends dip in the cooler near the register—it’s absolutely delicious!“

“Just picked a random restaurant while moving our college kid into his apartment. Had no idea but the food was fantastic and Rhonda our server was fabulous!!! We are all looking forward to the next time we are in town and my college kid can’t wait to bring friends!“

“I have been going to Luke’s since the 80’s. I moved away and still go there. Never had bad food or service. I wish I still lived close it was my Saturday movie night go to go beefs.“

“This place makes me happy. Great staff, great food, adorable place!“

“Tonight I decided to venture out and try this restaurant my family has been RAVING about called Al’s Cafe in Downtown Elgin! I sat upstairs and had this lovely server named Marcie! She recommended the monthly special called “Moonstruck” and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The ambience, service and food is unmatched! If you are looking for a great night out I highly recommend Al’s Cafe!“

“Attentive staff, always checking on customers like us, fast in responding to your needs/refilling sides.“

“First time here , and won't be the last, everything we had was delicious. Michele N. was a great server !“

“Enjoyed a great healthy yummy family dinner 6 of us last night. Bison meat tender and I really enjoyed my warm Power Poke Salmon Bowl! Thank you for the great service!“

“We dined at the bar, and Anna the bartender was great! It was very busy, but she did a good job taking care of her customers. Food was great, as always. Thanks!“

“I just redeemed a coupon for a free meal, and it was delicious! Personally, even I thought the food I was getting was like, too much from just one coupon, which shows just how awesome this restaurant is! I can still remember drinking my delicious Fanta soda from this restaurant, alongside enjoying my awesome plant-based burger. Not so much the fries, but that’s ok, since fries aren’t really my thing, but you should still try this restaurant anyways, especially since their meat (beef, I think?) is halal, so that really makes this restaurant top all the other ones in town!“

“I hardly believe this, but I left today and they forgot to include my coleslaw. I got home and called to mention it. I was told they'd bring the coleslaws to me. I thought it was a joke, like doctors making house calls. Sure enough, they came to my door with the coleslaws, an extra, and a pint of blueberry cheesecake. Unbelievable! I've gone there since they opened. Now I won't go anywhere else. Caring about customers isn't lost! Wonderful people!“

“Loved our experience friendly staff and delicious food 🍱“

“my girls love watching the trains and atmosphere.“

“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)“

“I ordered catering from Eggville Cafe a friend of mine said their catering was amazing and I had a family gathering coming up I had to try it out! Everything was perfectly cooked they had so many different options to choose from I ordered the kebabs and a side salad, some potatoes some meatballs and a couple other things that they threw in everything tasted amazing. It was delicious and was reasonably priced if you were looking for catering for any event like a graduation coming up or birthday or family gatherings I definitely highly recommend them they were amazing and they got everything I wanted and more!!“

“If there's one bartender who always knows how to get your drink just right, it's Brittnee. With her warm and welcoming personality, she makes you feel like you're right at home as soon as you step up to the bar. Not only is she a master at crafting the perfect cocktail, but she always brings a smile to your face with her witty banter and infectious laugh. Brittnee is truly one of a kind and has an undeniable gift for making your night out an unforgettable experience.“

“reasonable for the pasta!“

“Pretty good place and service is wonderful.“

“They are by far the best dq in the suburbs. They are not stingy with toppings. Sure the price reflects that sometimes but will you rather pay $8 for a blizzard with 2 Oreo cookies in it or $10 for one with 8 Oreos in it? I love the Oreo blizzard and Reese’s. Though no fault of their own…I wish the Reese’s had less choco chunks and more peanut butter stuff ❤️. Regardless i appreciate them and always thank them!“

“I have been going to this place for over forty years and they still have one consistent problem that never gets solved. They short me items in the drive through. It doesn't happen with the dine-in and the food is always hot and fresh. I just wish they would teach the workers to count burgers and fries when they put them in the bag for takeout.“

“Goodness last night I ordered a pizza puff and a couple pizzas and I’m still thinking about that pizza puff. Literally clapped my hands after eating it. So good. Pizza was great to but that pizza puff gave me life.“

“The BEST ice cream around and the best customer service! love this place and will continue to return! Worth the drive from south elgin! I love the limited edition flavors! I am a kid at heart so i am a sucker for the cotton candy and fun fruit flavors!“

“This was my first time going to a Steak ‘n Shake. I really was impressed by the ordering method if doing it on the screen inside. The inside of the restaurant is nicely clean. The old fashion theme is really nice too. I got the triple steak burger. Dyammm, It fills you up! If you want to easy a lot, go here! The fries were also good but the cheese on top could have been a bit hotter. Overall, not a bad place to stop by, or even before you go to the movies!“

“one of my favorite bars ! awesome staff , food, drinks, entertainment, even events !“

“I had the Beast double combo, added bacon , extra cheese and lettuce. I have to say, the burger was pretty good. I wish it had a little more sauce and mayo but it was really good. It's up there in price but you do get full. I would like if they had more advertising or anything to let you know it's a ghost menu. I drove around a few times because it was a pizza joint and couldn't see any signs of Mr beast burgers. I will be back but I hope Mr beast makes these adjustments.“

“This is a new Culver's, still great food, in a modern package. You must try everything but for your first time go with a butter burger, cheese curds, and leave room for custard of your choice.

Next time (there will be a next time) look beyond a burger and try the cod, pot roast sandwich, or soup.

Nothing will disappoint you....

Remember, don't forget the custard!👍“

“Burger King in Elgin really lets you 'Have It Your Way'! My vegetarian girlfriend and I went on Sunday to try their new Philly Melts. The manager was super cool about making two Impossible patty versions for us. Those new sandwich buns were bomb too - they should definitely add a 'create your own burger' option with them. Staff is always friendly and goes the extra mile. Solid spot, will be back for sure.

Vegetarian options: the impossible patty is bomb!“

“Portillo’s never misses. The food’s always hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor. You can tell the crew actually cares about getting orders right, even when it’s busy. The Italian beef with extra gravy is unbeatable, and the chocolate cake shake should honestly be illegal(it’s that good). Prices are fair, portions are huge, and service is fast. You can’t go wrong here; it’s Chicago comfort food done right.“

“ordered small concrete mixer.. asked for chocolate custard with Reese's peanut butter cups but received a medium size cup of plain custard“

“We were first timers here and the worker did a 10/10 job helping us decide and upsold us a bunch! Good for him! Everything we got was 10/10 and since it was our first time he threw in some chicken bites and tenders for free. We will be back!“

“the best ice sceam for all ages🥰“

“Burger and fries were both great“

“McDonalds is getting way overpriced and food is....ok at best. Thought I'd try Culvers in FRG. Was NOT dissapointed! For about the same price you get a DELICIOUS, HOT, LOOKS LIKE THE PICTURE burger, huge portion of hot crispy fat fries and a soft drink of your choice! I'm not one to take pictures of my food, but I did! It was a masterpiece! Loved it!“

“This place is fricken awesome! I love them employees and i love the food. Everyone is awesome and they work very good as a team. Good job boss man for hiring good employees! I recommend this place so much!!! The new root beer floats might be the best thing ever, i would get with your meal.“

“I’ve been to different Dairy Queen’s.

This is the first one that actually filled the cup with Oreos. I order a medium blizzard oreo with extra oreo.

To my surprise they filled it with Oreos!. Unlike other places that I ask for extra oreo and you can’t see any. This place filled it up im super happy I will definitely be back here.“

“Shout out to south Elgin dairy queen! My dad is a frequent flyer there always picking up icecream for my mom in nursing home❤️ Today they gave him complimentary chocolate malt to take to mom❤️❤️❤️🍨🍦. Nice to hear kindness like this still😊“

“I like their food meun and chicken nuggets and fries“

“Great chicken fingers!!! But if someone in charge could please fix the menu on DoorDash for the mozzarella sticks? It says it comes with marinara sauce, but then makes you select from a list of sauces and marinara is not a choice. So one time I just picked a different sauce and got that sauce and not the marinara and the other time I picked no sauce and didn’t get anything. So if marinara sauce could be added to the sauce selection so there’s no confusion that would be wonderful.“
