Restaurants in Gurnee

“Absolutely delicious dining experience; authentic Italian cuisine, attentive waitstaff, cozy atmosphere 👍🏼👍🏼”

“Went here a couple times while in town for work. Some of the best food I have had in a long time!! Best pretzel I think I’ve ever had. Will be back if in town!!”

“We were at the Gurnee location for dinner tonight. Gabby (Gabriell) was our waitress and she was amazing! She greeted us quickly, gave great recommendations, and she smiled the whole time. We will be requesting her every time we dine there!”

“Great experience; with no reservation, on a busy Saturday night, we were able to sit at the bar and had a wonderful time. The bartender was a pleasure, and so was his friend lol. Great steaks, drinks and atmosphere!! Seriously, his friend was dreamy!! Thank you Stevens for a wonderful evening, one my new sailor will forever remember! Love from Texas!!”

“Exceptionally large Margaritas! Portion sizes are quite generous as well. Nice environment except for the birthday (cumpleanos) celebrations led by the waitstaff. Way too loud and too frequent.”

“There is nothing about this place I don't recommend. The meads are amazing, their Cocktail Master is amazing at coming up with unusual combinations, and is great fun to talk to. The music mix is great as well (but possibly because I'm old 😁)! Overall, the place is extremely welcoming, with a selection of games and sofas so you can sit and enjoy your drinks and socialize.”

“Really love this please. The food is delicious there is never a time they have failed to impress. It has become a regular place for my mom, sister and I. The staff is so friendly.”

“Tasty food and this guy is so nice!! The soup is so so good. And the Jerusalem salad. Love the canned juices in the cooler! Huge cans of 100% juice in flavors we can't get elsewhere like passion fruit & watermelon. Generous portions, casual atmosphere. Appreciate the padding on the chairs. It's a relaxing place to eat. My family says the food is "amazing" "pita and hummus and shawarma are quite good.". We'll be back.”

“Our first time to Primo was a special occasion as it was not only our anniversary but also our daughter was in town to visit and celebrate. Ryan V was our server and was fantastic - personable, knowledgeable and attentive! The menu is large, but don’t let that intimidate you! Ryan walked us through the app and entrees and we had everything from steak, to fish and pasta! ALL were delicious!! We will be back for sure, and highly recommend!”

“Not as much fun as thirty years ago but still not bad.”

“GREAT SERVICE!! our waiter, June, was the best! he was very nice and so funny, good vibes the whole time! The food was so yummy and our waiters recommendations were very helpful!! thx!!!!”

“The food was good, the staff are friendly and desserts is a bomb. I usually dont eat with strawberry but the dessert was soo yummy that you can’t resist.”

“Just enjoyed an amazing meal! The sushi was so so good and the service couldn’t have been better. Don’t skip this restaurant if you’re in the mood for sushi!”

“Love this place, the service is great food is always consistently delicious”

“The service was great, restaurant was clean and the food was absolutely delicious. My family and I will definitely be going back again.”

“This restaurant could probably survive (with some lower cost) outside of a theme park. I only have tried one thing, the pulled cajun chicken and Mac and cheese) and they were really good. There's a selection of sauces at your table. If you have a dining pass, I would suggest visiting this place. If you don't, it will cost you a good penny (18-16 per entree, that does include a side).”

“10 STARS IF I COULD When we walked in around 5:15pm to go to the cafe the line was really long, so I ordered via app. Omg, Emily was very calmed and collected when people seemed kind of getting antsy. She acknowledged that I was there to pick up my food and gave me a heads up that it’ll take another 3 more min. I told her it was fine and that she was doing a great job and said good luck. She was very thankful. I’m more than pleased with her and would definitely recommend! Great hire manager. Emily definitely deserve a raise.”

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

“The food isn’t bad, it’s just expensive for what you get but you’re paying for the convenience of not leaving Great Wolf. There’s Dunkin, McDonald’s and other breakfast restaurants for cheaper if you’re willing to leave Great Wolf.”

“The customer service is top notch and the drinks have the perfect level of sweetness which can be customized. The toppings are also very good. This is why I keep coming here.”

“Used to go here all the time the salad and bread are the best . Now they charge $1 per roll like what ???? Who charges for bread at an Italian restaurant. Also $11 for A SIDE SALAD ?? This place has really lost it , food quality has also drastically changed. Paid $20 for a side salad and a tiny bowl of soup . Would of gladly recommend this place years ago but 💯 should unfortunately just close their doors .”

“The food are so 😋 yummy , the service is great 👍 & affordable price”

“This is a takeout-only spot, as all the tables and chairs have been removed. That said, I really enjoyed the food. You can tell it was prepared with care, and the quality exceeded my expectations, especially given some of the mixed reviews. The ingredients were fresh, and the food was served piping hot, which made for a great meal.”

“My husband had asked for a seat near the windows, so we could see the Waterpark. The host did everything she could to make sure we had one. Eric was our waiter, and he was so polite and patient with us. I had asked about the shrimp pasta and getting it without meat, and he informed me that a plain pasta is definitely available. It's just not on the menu. We also ordered the specialty drinks: the Firefly and the Stawberry Lemonade Vodka. They were delicious!”

“Good seafood reasonably priced”

“Fast professional wonderful service”

“Great food and wonderful customer service. If I lived here I’d definitely eat there often.”

“I can't recommend Taco Pros enough!

This place strikes the perfect balance between a quick bite and a full-service dining experience. Unlike other Mexican restaurants that go heavy on stereotypical decor, Taco Pros opts for a more modern and casual ambiance that feels fresh and welcoming.

The food is consistently fantastic—flavorful, fresh, and satisfying every time. Despite the quality, their service is impressively fast, comparable to a fast-food restaurant, but with that extra touch of care and attention you'd expect from a sit-down spot. It’s ideal if you’re on a lunch break or just craving a quick, delicious meal.

For those in offices, Taco Pros offers excellent catering options with trays that are perfect for any meeting or office event. My kids and I are regulars here, coming in at least twice a week. It’s easy to see why they’ve grown so rapidly in the past five years, opening multiple locations. Taco Pros really nails it with their combination of good food, great prices, and a comfortable atmosphere.

Kid-friendliness: Ask for their 1 Taco kids meal, FF or rice and beans. It's great for kids 10 and younger.”

“The service was great, the food was made fresh to order. The dirty rice, mashed potatoes, and mushrooms was really good. The chicken was hot and crispy I definitely recommend. I give 5 stars”

“A great hidden gem for homebrew supplies! They have a little of everything from fermenters to grains. The owners offer helpful advice and are super friendly. Its great not to have to go all the way to Libertyville for supplies. The hydroponics/gardening items look high quality too!”

“My fiancé and I went for breakfast at the Gurnee location yesterday. Both mens and womens bathrooms were out of order. No additional bathrooms for the employees!!! How can a restaurant be able to be open without facilities for patrons let alone the employees working an 8 hour shift!?!? Our waitress pleaded for me to call OCHEA!! She also said it is not the first time!!”

“Amazing food! Great service! Lovveedddd the street corn in a bowl!”

“I arrived at the Shawarma King doorstep—starving and without an idea of what to order; I was assisted with gusto, hospitality, and was out the door with an absolutely delicious dinner in record time. Highly recommend this clean, quick, and friendly spot!”

“Had a little confusion with some of the cookies we got but I called and spoke to Julia and she was So Kind so sweet so amazing, she helped my sister out and we got our orders. 10/10 best Crumbl cookie location and customer service”

“Visited for breakfast a few days ago and had the best French toast I've ever had; they do their Cinnamon Roll French Toast right. Our server was super friendly, the kitchen was backed up a little but she made sure to check in frequently and keep us updated. Super cute inside too, definitely recommend for easy breakfast!”

“Stop in for the canolli and stay for the food.”

“i differently mrs fields cookiea general should more location mass and new york city and all states and city and town”

“Me and my wife came her today for the first time and everything we tried was amazing. Our waitress was amazing! We will be back for more! 5 out of 5!!”

“Man, where do I begin. The food is always top notch but the service at this location is on another level. I gotta shout out the cashier there, Ali, who answered all our questions, gave us quick service, and was extremely personable and patient with us while we ordered. Wingstop is always great, but Ali made our experience truly special.”

“My favorite pizza in the area! Gluten-free friendly, amazing food and even better service. I had a large pickup order today for myself and my family and when I arrived the kitchen manager came out to describe that they had to restart one of the pizzas, offering to let me go now with the rest of my order - plus the messup free for extra snackage - and that he would come deliver the remake himself in a bit so I didn’t have to wait. The entire staff was so friendly, kind and accommodating during the pickup and communication process. If you haven’t had Kaisers, what’re ya doin??”

“The food was very good and it came in large portions. The staff members were polite and worked fast. It was a really cool atmosphere and I loved the pictures and stories displayed around the restaurant.Definitely would recommend. 5 out of 5”

“Out of all the places I’ve ever been for this type of food. This is by far one of my number ones. The staff are very friendly and courteous, and their food is awesome.”

“I love Culver's. Their food is top tier quality. The customer service is always great & my order is always correct. They even give you coupons in your bag from time to time. I'll always visit them, especially if I've had a rough day. They also have a veggie burger for non meat options. Enjoy!! 💕”

“Service was fine, portions a little smaller,but good. And STILL NO DIET ROOT BEER, which prevents my friends and I from coming more often!”

“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!”

“Great staff, the bubble tea is a must have. Try it now if you haven’t done so 😊”

“Fast friendly and convenient location. Food portions are perfect forbthe price, staff very friendly and attention to detail in food orders. Will be going back.”

“New to the area and my husband recommended i try this little gem out. I loved the location, the food was delicious and I love the organic, vegan, plant based ingredients for all of their food and drinks. 10/10 for sure! Will definitely be back soon.”

“I went to this place just today, the waiters were amazing, so kind and on top of stuff. The place is so big, and although they were busy, it was very sanitary. The food was amazing and had many options. The atmosphere overall was so great, everyone was so nice and it was decorated beautifully. Overall, I give this place a 10/10, definitely would recommend.”

“Thanks for the wonderful confetti cake for Halloween 🎃”

“awesome food and service. will be back!”

“Always a great treat whether I'm with the family or not and especially on a hot summer day/night, Cold Stone really hits the spot. But even when it gets cold out, still fun to go to even during a brutal Chicago area winter.This is probably the one ice cream parlor around compared to others that has a huge emphasis on toppings/creations which is definitely their strong point.Always a great selection of flavors between their regular year round and seasonal flavors, prices still seem reasonable although the high-end ice cream chain has never really been cheap and customer service remains consistently good in an always spiffy clean/sanitized atmosphere.CSC obviously does battle with competitors such as Oberweis up the road and Graeter's. When it comes to taste and quality, this place lives up to the price and my kids are well worth it anytime of the year.Only con (which doesn't drag down a 5⭐️ rating) about this place is the parking lot which can be greatly limited especially on wknd nights when nearby Giordano's gets packed. You may find yourself having to park east across the street from Starbucks and walking a bit of distance.”

“Very, very good lunch menu! Family owned, I will definitely be back!!!”

“Must-Read-Review!
If you're a fan of flavorful and aromatic dishes, the Hyderabadi Biryani is a must-try. From the first bite, you'll be transported to a world of rich, vibrant spices and tender, perfectly cooked meat. This biryani boasts a harmonious blend of saffron, cardamom, and cloves, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. The rice is fragrant and fluffy, with each grain perfectly separated and infused with the savory depth of the biryani's spices. The garnish of fried onions and fresh coriander adds an extra layer of texture and freshness. Served with a cooling raita or a tangy salan, this biryani is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. Every aspect of this dish is executed with precision and passion, making it a true five-star experience.”

“Good fast casual food. Huge spuds 🥔, great sandwiches/soup/salads, & sweet tea.”

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

“Tried it for the first time today and holy mole was it good. The place is small but very well taken care of and very clean. I got the Bravo Burrito w/ steak and it was an excellent level of yummy spicy. Beans and rice were good, less salt than i am used to for a mexican place, but honestly liked that. Overall, i am so going there again and am excited to try other things.”

“This is a solid pizza joint. I’ve ordered delivery 4-5 times. Good ingredients, speedy delivery and consistent results. Plus the delivery guy is a nice guy and seems genuinely proud of the pizza. I compare it to to Rosatis, but I like this better, and that’s with zero shade. In conclusion… if Jimanos is in your neighborhood hood, you should give it a chance. Ps the BLT Pizza was awesome. I feel like I invented it in 2002… But immediately thought it was better than the one I made. Only complaint… Too much bacon. But then I say that out loud and it sounds stupid. You can’t complain about too much bacon. That’s dumb. Everything that was supposed to be crisp was crisp and everything that was supposed to be hot was hot. Almost like a McDLT…”

“They had a delay because they ran out of dough. I would like to think it is because they had a lot of business, but I didn't ask. Delay was short and no problem.

Dietary restrictions: They accommodated our allergy well.”

“Very clean and kids love it. We will definitely be back.”

“Best burgers I have ever eaten. Gyro's are great. Try the chicken sandwich too.”

“Five Guys is great when you want a messy burger and nuts. Otherwise, it's expensive. For two of us, it was $38. For two cheeseburgers, 1 fry, and two drinks.”

“Delicious ham and ribs! We love both!”

“Thank you so much for everything you do and the amazing food!! I really appreciate the Vegan friendnly and Plant-Based choices!!”

“Always a treat to stop by”

“Clean and courteous, excellent soups and sandwiches”

“We had such a blast ice skating at top shelf!! Was hesitant at first because of overcrowding but it seriously was perfect!! Price was so fair and the food was surprisingly fantastic. We are picky pizza lovers and it was so delicious. We’re definitely making this a monthly thing for the family, I highly recommend coming here if you need something fun to do- alone or with a group!”

“Literally the perfect corn dog. On the first bite, I got gooey cheese, delicious breading, and spicy Flamin hot Cheeto crumbs. Absolutely delicious. Will definitely go back to try the other flavors”

“During our cross-country trip, my girlfriend and I visited Gurnee Mills Mall. Before leaving, we used a gift card to get Auntie Anne's. Although the gift card had a balance large enough to cover the food we ordered, the machine wasn't accepting it. Thankfully, the worker was helpful and understanding. He resolved the issue and made the situation good. The food we had was super delicious. I would give it a 5-star rating!”

“FINALLY got to try Paradise Pizza tonight and it is so so so delicious! The garlic butter and breadsticks 🤤 and the pizza 😍 We ordered ahead on the app hours before we arrived. The app is so easy to use and so convenient. we will definitely be back! 💙”

“Went for the first time with my kids and our server, Mel had a heart of gold! She was very friendly and attentive. She had a smile on her face the whole time and made our experience that much better. Thank you Mel!”

“I am a tour director in Chicago. My company booked Giordanos on Belmont for 2 bus loads of high school students at 6pm. We unexpectedly got there at 5pm! Luis and his team were able to seat and serve us in short order. Thank you Luis and team. Giordanos pizza is the best!”

“Great experience Owner of Comfort Gurnee recommended and even provided a gift card to try your ice cream !! He’s a big fan !!!”

“This is the literal greatest food on earth. If you disagree you should shove a letter opener directly through your head. Lord Jesus was reincarnated into a bucket of chicken and fries and came to this place. Everybody who is saying it is too slow it's because quality take time you uncultured swine. Greatest food of all time.”

“Always fresh veggies”

“They give you free samples which helped me to decide where to eat lunch. No regrets! They give you so much food for a good price. Service was quick, staff were friendly. I had chicken teriyaki with fried rice and vegetables. The vegetables were surprisingly yummy and I love that there were no onions in it. Will eat here again.
The teriyaki sauce is on the sweeter side, so if you don't like that, you might want something else.”

“That Smash burger was the truth . I'll be returning for another! The waitress was beautiful and didn't miss a beat. I even saw her checking on us very professional!”

“This was the most amazing chicken I have ever eaten and I mean EVER! It was melt in your mouth chicken tenders like none I have ever tried. It was real chicken! Nothing pressed together but actual chicken breast battered in a delightful coating. AMAZING!”

“Friendly staff. Clean. Fast, but inconvenient to access for busy morning commuters. LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION.”

“Always friendly and fast.. Haven't had a bad experience here.. Peppermint Mocha Frappé...”

“Delicious food, friendly staff and great dancing 😊!”

“Went for my first time with my husband and friend tonight let’s say was amazing service and food. Shoutout to Samantha to be one amazing server, was very attentive on our needs and our orders. The food was hot and on point plus fast service. Also Chivis amazing host helping out Samantha and the rest making everything run smoothly. We will be back when we are in town. Best Mexican food in Burbs of Chicago.”

“Friendly cashier. And the music is awesome 👏”

“I have to say the staff here are so fantastic & fun. Very respectful for being young adults.The store is clean, our smoothie & acaci bowls were beyond delicious! Definitely check the gurnee location out.”
