13 Best American Restaurants in Gurnee

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“my wife’s card was not working at the window and the cashier offered her the food free of charge. my wife came back trying to pay back for it once she got her card working. and the excellent Manager of the store still did not accept the payment 🙏🫶 Good People Among Us and Wendy’s has Wonderful people working hard for them . Definitely 💯 grateful and bless to have business with kindness for humanity“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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??“

“Delicious ham and ribs! We love both!“

“Food Review: Robin Hood – Gurnee, IL

Nestled in the heart of Gurnee, Robin Hood may not yet be the most buzzed-about spot online—but what it might lack in web presence, it surely makes up for in character and service. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt like a well-loved local gem: warm lighting, congenial chatter, and a sense of community that’s rare to find.

But what truly made the evening shine was our server, Brianna. Attentive without hovering, she struck that rare balance of offering recommendations, anticipating refills, and knowing when to leave us to enjoy our meal. Her genuine warmth set the tone for the whole evening.

Brianna checked in at just the right times, with a refreshing sincerity—you could tell she cared. When I asked about a dish’s preparation, her response was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, as if she’d be excited for you to try it too.

In short: Robin Hood in Gurnee might be easy to overlook online, but it’s a place where thoughtful service meets solid, satisfying food. If Brianna’s energy is any indication, this is the kind of “hidden favorite” that deserves more recognition“
