50 Best Burger Restaurants near Fox River Grove

“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!“

“I have been to many McDonald's over the years. It's quick, convenient, and allows me to go about my day. I usually do not think about the service I receive at any McDonalds location; however this one is different. Every single staff member I've had the pleasure of interacting with has been polite, efficient, and overall good service.“

“Such a great menu and unique items! We tried as much as we could in one meal and will definitely be back. Our server Abbie was awesome.“

“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“

“We had an amazing dinner and service with my two daughters for the youngest 8th grade graduation. They treated us like queens and we ate like it also!!“

“Great service. Delicious food.“

“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!“

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

“Tried the new menu item Gyros. Hope they keep it on the menu. They were great. The Tzatziki Sauce which makes a Gyro was perfect with enough cucumbers. We now have a new place to go to for Gyros. Last, I had just about everything on their menu and everything is delicious.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“This is my new favorite place. I just wish we lived closer. we had the gyro, French dip and beef nachos yesterday and it was amazing….and the staff is awesome💕“

“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!“

“Great place to end a day and start the weekend“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Every time I go to this location the food is fresh and the staff is so friendly and fast. You can tell that there’s a huge passion for perfection from the general manager. She goes up and above to ensure that her store is clean, her food is excellent and her service is implacable.“

“Usually great service and people, but you guys missed the mark tonight. The delivery person outside tried to give me at least 3 different orders that weren’t ours, and when we got home the chicken nuggets were missing the sauce, and the chili was missing the toppings and sour cream. Not a great outing tonight.“

“great atmosphere,quick and friendly.“

“Pretty good place and service is wonderful.“

“reasonable for the pasta!“

“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!“

“My family of six ate at Culvers in McHenry on Tuesday, Dec 31 about 1:30. We were greeted with a pleasant hello. The lady who took our order got it right and was pleasant.Since were a group of 6, I figured it would take a little longer to get our order. That wasn't the case. Not only did the order come quickly, but is also accurate. That was wonderful! When we were nearing the end of our meal, a gentleman, (Jude, I believe) can around with free samples of the flavor of the day (Mint explosion). Never has that happened at Colvers to me in the many times I eat at different Culvers! What a nice touch! Upon leaving, we got a cheery Thank you, have a great day and happy new year. I wish I lived a little closer because Culvers in McHenry would definitely be my go to place. Thank you for good food and the kindness you all showed.“

“My daughter and I went in for lunch. We were on a time crunch in between her sporting events. Brian Harris, the General Manager, was very friendly and very attentive. He was coming around to the tables and checking on us and other guests to make sure that everything was to our liking. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back.“

“If you want to sit by the water and enjoy a nice night out and great snack food (Italian Beef bites) and burgers, I recommend The Longshot. Go see Lisa on Friday night and tell her Krista and Lori sent you!“

“I love this store my family and I have been going to this store since I was a little kid. I got my wife a custom Ice Cream cake for her Birthday and she loved it. Highly Recommend!“

“Everything tasted great tonight but for some reason the bun just fell apart...“

“We love picking up a quick lunch here, our go-to are the Chicago style dogs. Always a treat for a work lunch!“

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

“Amazing service and food! I love coming here because the staff is always so nice and professional. When I ask to customize my food, the staff is always eager to give it top quality! The restaurant is always clean, which is something of a rare commodity now days. Highly recommend it!“

“Celebrated my birthday there the chocolate bomb was Awesome!!!“

“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!👍“

“Delicious food, friendly & speedy service :) I asked them to cook the turkey bacon on my avocado toast a bit more and they quickly and graciously crisped it up for me. They also have the best hash browns around. Get your own hot sauce/ketchup/etc condiments in the attached Pride convenience store“

“Yummy 😋 Good ice cream 🍦“

“Their Friday Night Fish Fry is a favorite of ours!“

“Kooker’s is my favorite lunch time spot when I’m at the office for the day. They make their own natural cut fries that I love cooked well done. They have daily specials that are great deals, although all of their prices are fair. They have limited seating, but you can call ahead and pick up an order and I think they do delivery. When there, make sure you look at the specialty board that is to the right of the register. There you will find items that are not on the regular menu. Today I had the poutine with pulled pork—amazing. I highly recommend this locally-owned burger (and a lot more) joint.“

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

“the best ice sceam for all ages🥰“

“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!“

“Burger and fries were both great“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you haven't tried this place, I strongly recommend it. The DAILY specials are EXCELLENT. The Chopped Salad is so gooood. Staff is friendly. An overall 5-star experience.“
