50 Best Fast Food 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 always go to this Subway because they remember my order and my name every time I go in. The owners do a great job of keeping the restaurant clean. The veggies are always fresh as well as the bread. This location is much better than the one in Cary.“

“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.“

“Fantastic job on the $1 Special today! Line kept moving quickly, and workers were pleasant and upbeat (at least while I was there)!“

“very clean, great menu, personal service. highly recommend if you're in the area to stop by for dinner at lunch and they do serve cocktails“

“The chicken kabob dinner was amazing! Highly recommend this restaraunt for fast and casual comfort food. Service is impeccable.“

“Just had the best experience eating at popeyes today with my son. staff was great, food was so fresh and delicious. I don't usually choose popeyes when i come out to eat, but I definitely will be coming back way more often! If you haven't tried their nuggets, do it now!“

“We typically use the drive thru. We like your food, always fresh and tasty. Tonight I had the chicken avocado and strawberry salad. The salad was fresh, walnuts were sweet and crispy, dressing was very creamy. The only criticism I have is my chicken avocado and strawberry salad had no avocados. I do understand sometimes you can run out of ingredients or supply chain issues can interfere with menus. I would just ask to have this made known to us upon ordering or upon discovery, all in the interest of good customer service that you usually do deliver.“

“great atmosphere,quick and friendly.“

“The chicken here is controversial, this place will either be a miss or your go to for the best chicken you've ever had. I am the latter. Food seems to appear about 6 seconds after you order it and all the staff are happy and energetic.“

“Great food! I’ll be there many more times“

“Great selection of fast foods. Fast, friendly service. Reasonable prices and the best hot Dogs in the whole Universe!“

“Food was good and because they forgot my shake homie hooked it up with a large, the review if you you my booii“

“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.“

“We love Egg Harbor for the food, the service and the pleasant, bright interior. But please!! Bring back your Jump Start coffee!! 😋 That has always been one of the draws for me and I was so disappointed to hear it was not available any longer due to not having Kerry Gold butter or Coconut Oil. 😲😦“

“reasonable for the pasta!“

“After a rough couple of weeks, I really needed a win — and Sticky Fingers in Algonquin delivered in a big way. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine Southern hospitality.

We ordered fried shrimp, wings, and fries, and I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve never seen shrimp or wings this big. The homemade breading was golden perfection — light, crisp, and some of the best I can remember. The sauces were spot-on, adding just the right kick, and the fries nailed that magic balance: crispy outside, fluffy inside.

The little touches here really add to the charm. A bucket of lollipops and a bottle of Frank’s Hot Sauce sit on every table, and the décor gives the whole place a playful, welcoming vibe. Their canned soda selection is a nostalgic throwback — every flavor I loved as a kid — and the staff was so attentive and warm. Big smiles! They truly care about your experience.

Prices are very reasonable, and the daily specials make it even better (Lobster Sundays, anyone?). I even overheard other diners promising to return — and same here. I told the staff to get to know my face, because I’ll be back often!

Four more words: — Banana pudding. Caramel cake. 😮“

“We love our Algonquin Chick-fil-A! Everyone is so pleasant. We always get greeted with such a warm welcome and with a smile.“

“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!“

“The sweet owner walked across the tracks this morning to give my daughter an avocado egg sandwich before taking the train to Chicago. He heard my daughter wanted one and he was so kind to Bring her one. Btw my daughter enjoyed it on the train! Thank you again for your hospitality!“

“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!👍“

“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.“

“ordered 2 chicago style hot dogs, Italian beef combo w/ mozzarella cheese and Giardiniera, jalapeño poppers and onion rings. $33.00 ☹️ the combo had barely any beef or Giardiniera on it. the onion rings were a big clump of a soggy greasy mess. the poppers were soggy too. They were not edible, threw them away. I don't know what happened, they used to be really good.“

“We have started coming to McAlister's Deli more frequently. We are seniors and usually order the Choose 2 off the menu which is just enough for a good lunch choice...a half sandwich and a cup of soup. The ladies who work there are very kind, helpful and respectful. We enjoy the variety of sandwiches offered and the food is great!“

“I always love coming here. The customer service is exceptional and Yash is one of the most kindest and warmest employee here. You always get positive vibes here. It’s one of the better subways to eat at. Sandwich making is exceptional here!“

“They have outstanding sandwiches. #18 is our favorite and is great as a salad, too, but you really can't go wrong. Everything is consistently delicious, high quality, and priced well!“

“yes, this is attached to a gas station.

it does not matter. this place has the best bacon cheeseburgers of any fast food place in the area, the best chicken sandwiches of any fast food place in the state, and the best fries of any restaurant anywhere in the United States

i was fortunate enough to have Diego as my cashier he was so great. I was particularly impressed with how patient he was when i had trouble deciding what i wanted.

Diego treated my order with such care“

“Burger and fries were both great“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Always a great experience at this Subway! The crew is super friendly and welcoming, always greeting with a smile. They make my sandwich exactly how I like it every time, and the store is spotless and well-kept. Highly recommend!“

“A hidden gem!
My fiancé and I were looking for places to eat and we saw the panini bar, we were a little confused when we first pulled up, but we did some digging and found out it was in the LB Mart.
We got a turkey pesto and chicken chipotle panini, these were both SOOO good!
Definitely recommend this little hidden spot if your in the mood for a panini!“

“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.“

“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“

“Ordered a hot dog, Italian beef, fries and a drink. The beef and fries were great. The hot dog was pretty good. Only negative is the prices which are up there. The order was $26. It wasn't that long ago that my wife and I could go to a casual sit down restaurant and get 2 full dinners for $30.“

“Vincent was very nice and welcoming right when we walked in, they got our frostee but Vincent was quick to apologize and replace it with the correct order. Just moved to the apartment complex across the street and will DEFINITELY be coming here a lot!“

“Whoever was working April 29th at midnight, deserves a RAISE!!! I wish I got his name so I could put it in this review but wow he was a top tier employee. Food was immaculate, which is wild to say about a fast food establishment. Came out super fast. The employee forgot our two medium baja blasts but get this… when we came back through he apologized and upgraded us to larges!! Best Taco Bell I’ve ever been to.“

“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!“

“Tried this place for the first and definitely not last time on 1/4 (Orland Park location). Absolutely delicious! The person taking orders was so helpful and patient with our many questions. Service was quick and everything was so flavorful and cooked perfectly.“

“The same people are here every time I come (maybe I come to much lol) but absolutely an amazing environment and I’ve brought family/friend visitors here as well and they’ve loved it . Tommy’s everyday special is my go to ! Their polish sausages are also good .“

“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)“

“Great service. Delicious food.“

“Great service, food came out very quick even though we were a group of 5. Typical canes, great toast and fries, the chicken and sauce was very favorable and well seasoned. The staff was super nice, they gave my friend an extra piece of toast and when I asked for more sauce, they gave it for free.“

“yannin said she’d take care of our big order herself. She did amazing with time and reassuring us with the accuracy of the quality of food. Everything was highlighted on the receipt to make sure everything was there. Very satisfied with her service overall with serving with a great big smile“

“Love your sandwiches. 5 times better than any other sandwich place in the area.“

“This Taco Bell has the best service. The staff is always super friendly and respectful. It’s more like a Chick-Fil-A than a Taco Bell with its service level. I’ve noticed that quality of Taco Bell varies by location, and their food is always top notch in my opinion.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“The burgers here are made fresh to order. Super high quality food.“

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

“hard to believe, but Taco Bells (all) are very well run: ingredients always very fresh (they never miss on that), big menu, easy to & lots of modifications, staff is very well trained, stores are very clean & updated, open real late,. Great great value.

Sure, not authentic (those are good), & not a restaurant or high-end, but good. Even after many many yrs, better than ever.“
