“Pretty decent. Pretty safe with the new safety measures put up now. Menu selection is a bit small compared to others, but a good amount of choices for me. Travis Scott burger with some fries and a water to wash it down is pretty good. Would recommend.“

“This restaurant was a great find. The cheeseburger and fried chicken bites were delicious. I highly recommend trying the chicken and lamb bowls. All sauces can be ordered on the side if you like your food mild. My kids loved the Nutella bubble tea and Oreo pudding. PLUS they have board games like Uno, Connect Four, Jenga, etc.“

“Grabbed a bop bowel for dinner here and it’s hands down one of the best I’ve had. I had a great serving of veggies, chicken, and sauce. You have to grab the fresh kimchi with your meal because it’s spicy good. My son had a bowel with beef and from the very first taste he said this place is so good…give them a review.“

“The girl at the counter, was very nice. The receipt said her name was Emily. I ordered an oreo milkshake which was surprisingly more difficult to order than i had planned. Originally i ask the Rainbow Cone counter for an oreo milkshake only to find out they don’t do shakes but the Buona side does. Odd. However, i had to ask the nice cashier what a sweet treat bit milkshake was because the description for the item was “ vanilla milkshake with sweet treat bits”

As someone who’s never been to a Buona location before i had no idea what sweet treat bits are. It would help your customers to know what the ingredients are before purchasing. So if you’re like me and don’t know what the “ bits” are, it’s peanut butter cups and oreo pieces and one other candy that i can’t remember. And you can order each of those ingredients separately in a milkshake. Overall good experience slightly disappointed in having to go to the other counter and not clear ingredients.“

“It’s a great place to bring your family“

“Discovered this place while browsing around the area looking for different places to try during my lunch hour: very friendly staff, very quick and convenient, the food was very tasty. Highly recommend!“

“I recommend Leo’s for good food served by friendly people. Get on their email list for money-saving coupons. Keep this family owned business going!“

“God bless Egg Harbor Cafe and all personal, The best service“

“We have never had a bad meal at Mean Weiner. We have ordered in and eaten in the restaurant. We have made many changes to our orders and have never had a problem. Everyone is always friendly and super polite. The value is outstanding. I highly recommend trying Mean Weiner. You will not be disappointed.“

“The service and food were awesome! I'd definitely recommend to friends and family!“

“Crispy Korean style corn dog!! All of them are great especially with Korean ttokbboki, chill paste with chewy rice cake!! After the main dishes, finished with a bubble tea! Ttokbboki was best around this area!!

Vegetarian options: Good!! You can ask as well!

Parking: Huge parking lot!

Kid-friendliness: All the menus are great for kids“

“This restaurant doesn’t have indoor seating. If you want to sit and eat, you will have to sit outside. Overall, the food including the shakes rock! Great place to grab food on Washington St in Waukegan!“

“Delicious burgers, fried chicken, ice cream, etc.“

“Niki's Gyros is my absolute favorite spot for a quick bite. The staff is friendly, and every single item on the menu is outstanding. Under the new ownership, this already unbelievable establishment has only gotten better. The fact that the former owner Bill is still cooking at night adds to its appeal. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more highly - it serves the best gyros in all of Chicagoland.“

“Food was good, mu daughter was amazed of sa fan andvthe decorations“

“Mediterranean power bowl w/tofu instead of chicken“

“Reasonable prices, Good food“

“Very efficient drive-thru and friendly associates for an early morning breakfast order. The breakfast sandwich was great, and I'm stunned that I haven't gone to Wendy's more often. The parking lot was wide open in the early morning, and traffic on Half Day was congested with kids heading to school.“

“I always love this place, the food here is always fresh made to order they always get it Right and they hire some of the most incredible people with great attitudes and exceptional customer service, the guys at this location was awesome!!!!!!!“

“Friendly cashier. And the music is awesome 👏“

“Went through the drive through I waited a few mns for my food. I gor a cheese burger and cheese curds. They came out piping hot! This is awesome and they held the heat in well.

It was really good.
The curds could be better if they added garlic to them. I love their cheese curds.“

“This is our first time in Chicago and eating at Raising Cane. The staff was very friendly, helpful and had our food out in less than 5 mins.“

“Great food very clean and the workers are very nice“

“Great food the gyros was amazing I think the New owner is doing a great job taking care the place“

“This is the first thing my sister wanted after her graduation from basic training. All of the workers in there were super nice and all of our food was so good. I just wish they had cheese sauce when we went. The play place was nice for the littles with us.“

“For a fast food spot, this place went above and beyond. The staff greeted us when we walked in and thanked us on the way out. One team member was cleaning and wiping down tables the entire time we were there, and the floors were spotless. You rarely see this level of cleanliness and customer service at a fast food restaurant.“

“The only bad thing is you need to get there right around lunch. Once they run out of something that’s it for the day. Excellent homemade food and super nice people.“

“A restaurant worth trying, delicious.“

“Awesome experience, love that they support local youth sports organizations. Culver’s is awesome“

“Been coming here since they opened. Consistently good food and friendly staff. Love the burgers and paninis. It’s livelier than the traditional diner, partly because of the bright walls, and a great place to eat!“

“Their chicken asados are always so good this place is slept on surprised they don’t have a line waiting outside 💯“

“Came here after a long day of walking at the nearby amusement park. Place was not very crowded and we were able to order immediately and sit down. I ordered a mod pizza with several custom toppings. Pizza came out relatively fast, about 15 minutes, and were very warm. Pizza came out delicious and perfectly cooked. Pizza definitely filled me up fully. Overall, strongly recommend for a delicious pizza!“

“Nobody up at the cashier so had to put in my order and pay for it at ome of the kiosk Would have been great if someone s was up at the cashier takin my actual order“

“The place is very nice, neat and clean, very quiet. Food was good.“

“I'm confused by the dud reviews- This was the best lunch ever! Left the DMV (ugh-lol) across the street and treated myself to a mother cruncher and fries & my wife got a burger and mozz sticks- Food was SIZZLING HOT! Service was fast! Was it the "friendliest" fast food chain ever? Maybe not, but I was too excited about my fries to care! The next time I have to go to the dreaded DMV and wait for 2 hours, I'll be back here for lunch- It'll give me something to look forward to :)“

“Clean and very sunny interior with fast wifi. Often has balloons and decorations. The menu is the same as what I've encountered at other McDonald's establishments. I usually use the app to order $1 large coffees and then when I see the nearby Starbucks smile at the money I just saved myself.“

“Most times that I go to Arby's on Green Bay Road in North Chicago, it's for the Reuben Sandwich with Crinkle Fries. They make a delicious Reuben, but with that sandwich, I always get the Crinkle Fries. They are fresh made every time.....hot and crispy with a creamy center. If you thought Mickey D's had great fries, you'd be right, but these just might change your mind about who's are better. They're that good.! And don't forget the Jamocha Shake!!!“

“I had a nice experience with my granddaughter. The staff was very friendly and attentive to her. My only issue is that when ordering fries they don't fill the box. I always get 1/2 of what the box size is.“

“To the staff at Libertyville Culver’s, thank you so much for taking care of Hanna during her Special Needs Transition Pathways work program. Hanna loved working there. Not to worry, we love Culverts and Hanna will be back!“

“Happy Susan Simms has brought this iconic spot back to life! The menu now offers vegan choices as well as those “dogs” we love. Couldn’t resist the chili cheese dog! Warm bun -perfect amount of cheese and chili. A yummy blast from the past back and better than ever😀“

“This is the best Taco Bell I’ve ever been to! The workers are amazing and so efficient and kind. They always get my order right (which as a vegetarian is sometimes a problem) and are so sweet. Seriously the only Taco Bell I go to they are on top of it and this location is so clean and fast. I wish all Taco Bell’s were as good as this location.“

“This is the best McDonald’s I’ve been to in a very long time. The young lady who took my order, took my payment and gave my food: she was very professional and very quick. My food was hot, and tasted good. This was a great experience dispite the late hour of my visit. Thank you!!“

“I want to thank Nikki at MOD Pizza for her kindness and support. She was so thoughtful in offering dessert to the individuals from Aspire and even provided fun activities during lunch. Her generosity and welcoming spirit made the experience extra special for everyone. Truly above and beyond service!“

“ 5 ⭐Better than Culvers and they have to compete with McDonald's next door. The burgers have really good flavor, a little bit of a longer wait because they are cooking them on the griddle when you order. Allow for a little extra time when you order. Of course the line is not as long as McDonald's so you're probably out much quicker. The food is always fresh and hot.

“At 9:00 p.m., on Friday, December 16, 2022, our group of thirty-plus 6th through 8th graders, and their parents, converged upon 5555 Grand Avenue in Gurnee, IL. Our normal after performance ice cream place had closed early that night, so we set our sets on the next closest, largest and family friendly restaurant…McDonalds. We were loud. 30 kids singing show tunes at 9:00 at night, immediately following a theater performance? We were SO loud and ridiculously unorganized. Your employees, every single one of them still left at the restaurant at that hour, were so kind, patient, understanding, friendly, polite and hard-working. The manager on staff at the time, Cesar Lopez, managed it all beautifully and even kindly suggested we call ahead next time so he can be certain he’ll have enough staff on hand to handle another after-theater surge. While our kids were all mostly well-behaved and polite, it was definitely loud, controlled chaos for a good hour. We’re so very thankful for the extremely respectful way our kids were treated that night. The employees at 5555 Grand Avenue made what could have been a very stressful event into a…non-issue. Which, when you’re trying to corral 30+ adolescents, is a very good thing. You’ve found customers for life.“

“good service and friendly atmosphere #they tried to help .with a sincere hospitality“

“Great food at Max’s Dawg House! Burger and potato wedges were phenomenal“
