Burger Restaurants near Island Lake

“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.“

“First time patron, but passed by many times. In all honesty, I decided to pick up lunch on way to grandsons soccer game. Had gone to two other establishments before this one (others closed for some reason). Was pleasantly surprised. Order wasn't spectacular, Chicago dogs and fries ( but lots). While waiting, overlooked menu which was quite large. If everything is as good as hotdogs and fries, I'll be back. Thought prices were very reasonable.“

“Great place with hard working people. Be kind say please and yes sir or yes miss. There always there when this single mom when she's needs a break from dinner or a place for my kiddo to play when it rains. Thank you hard working McDonald's Staff.Kid-friendliness: Large clean play place with seating for everyoneWheelchair accessibility: Yes everywhere even at the play place tables.“

“I came here for me date night and goodness gracious me. The date was bland and basic, poor conversationalist while being way to into themselves. Like bro...who talks in 3rd person about fishing with your bros? Not even the tasty Moscow mule could fix it. Pretty sure he even told me 6 times about his crypto coins. It's 2024 like what are you doing bro. The food was also delicious.“

“Wasn't to excited about going there with friends, that was a mistake. We are there now at least once a week. Where can you get 2 delicious pizza's and 4 beers for under $30 on 1/2 price Thursday. Wait staff are always friendly and accommodating. I always highly recommend this place to family and friends. The Friday fish fry is always good also.“

“Finally was able to eat here. Delicious! We had the catfish dinners and I ordered a pepper and egg sandwich to go. The catfish was perfect. The collard greens were excellent!!! And the mac and cheese was great too! The owner was very friendly. Loved learning about her journey to opening Tangie’s . Will definitely go back for the fish, eggs and to try other items on the menu. Thank you!“

“I think the food is okay but I really don’t like when restaurants post prices that are lower than what they charge you. I placed my order based on what I wanted to spend and it came out much higher than that. I even got a soda because it seemed like an okay price, the lady asked me and I got the impression that what it showed on the menu is what I would get. The receipt shows they charged me more than what their menu says. That’s extremely frustrating (especially these days where it’s already much more than your used to). I feel like I’m spending enough with the posted prices, but if you keep charging more than that, I will not come here.“

“We stopped at this place for lunch recently. Very good food and fast service. Everything is reasonably priced compared to other hotdog places. Portions are very generous and fries are perfectly crispy. Cheese sauce on side was great and not watery, gyro was perfect and grilled chicken sandwich was very juicy. Would highly recommend it and will definitely be back“

“We played a show at the theater next to this place. Had dinner here. WOW!!!! The service was very good and friendly. But the food!! I had a huge burger with bacon, egg, and hashbrowns. It was huge and incredible. Wife had a chicken wrap, she said was incredible as well. The incredible food combined with the small town friendly atmosphere makes this place well worth the stop. I love how they "branded" the bun.“

“We’ve been here a few times, their burgers are very delicious. The fries are also yummy! Their customer service is great, very kind & helpful.If you like spicy you have to try El Diablo burger it’s very delicious & of course spicy! The Black Widow with added egg is also very good- it’s sweet.“

“This place is really awesome they specialize in hamburgers. Next to the railroad tracks lots of TVs good place to watch sports services good their beer wine liquor selection is very good. We'll be going back to this place many times if possible. Parking is a bit of a hassle but the food is worth “

“Great food and staff. Love going here! Kosta is an amazing server! He is on top of everything no matter how busy it is. He makes you feel like you're the only table he has. Friday and Saturdays are busy but if you get there at the perfect time, there's no wait!“

“This was my first time come here and the Fratellos subs and fries were amazing the sub was actually the best sub sandwich I have had in a while make sure to get extra peppers the customer service was great as well very adorable and family friendly“

“Eggville is the best place around for breakfast or lunch. There are many creative and well-prepared choices available, all with fresh ingredients and lots of care. The Cobb salad is superb, as are the many pancake, crepe, and egg dishes. The staff is very friendly, the restaurant is also super clean, and the only thing you'll regret is not dining there every day!“

“Buona Beef in Kildeer hits the mark for those craving an exceptional beef sandwich! As a connoisseur of good beef sandwiches, I can say Buona stands out, rivaling even my long-time favorite, Johnny's Beef. Their sandwiches are packed with flavor, tender, and juicy, just the way a beef sandwich should be. The welcoming atmosphere and friendly service only add to the experience, making it a must-visit spot for any beef sandwich aficionado. Definitely a top pick for me!“

“I moved from the Midwest a long time ago and haven't found a decent olive burger since. This place is pure nostalgia for me, retro drive in, amazing fries and olive burgers and fun menu. Definitely a hidden gem I'd return to if given the opportunity.“

“I mean I know I review 5 stars almost every time, but that’s because I give props where props are due. I had the double smash burger and it was Aaaaaaamazing! Cooked to perfection. Thank you for being our hidden gem. Every time we choose the Side Lot… we go home happy.“

“The order was brought quickly. My husband loves to order fish here. The staff is very friendly. Everyone is good-natured. I like this kind of service. The only negative is the constant smell of fried meat and fish in the room, probably the air hoods need to be “

“Th Rail House has become my absolute favorite place to enjoy good food, good drinks with the greatest company with the bartenders, Alex, Jess and Mari. This place passes the vibe check, no judgement zone, accepts everyone as long as you don't act a fool! If you're looking for good food and an amazing drink you have to order their wings with the rail house sauce and the "Alex", the best combination.“

“First time here. Not much to look at on the outside, but nice casual atmosphere and good food inside, plus a great view of the lake.Shared corned beef egg rolls and pretzel bites. Our main courses were blt wrap, Reuben, and cheeseburger. All really good. See pictures. Finally, servers were very friendly. Will go back again.“

“It's a sports bar with good and we are not into bars or sports...so the atmosphere isn't our preferred space- but the food (especially chicken limone) is fantastic.We prefer the onion rings over the toasted ravioli. Not because the latter is bad, we just prefer the rings. Since we're not bar folks and don't drink alcohol, sometimes it feels like service pays too little attention, but not always. That depends on the night and the server's.“

“This is a really cute place. Inside it is comfortable and low key. I ordered the half Italian Beef sandwich ( w/ hot peppers) that was highly rated last year. It was quite good and not too drippy. I really like that they offer a half sandwich option. The fries were good. This is a place where you place your order at the counter, sit down and wait. They bring out your food once it is ready. I wish I took photos, but will go back and take photos later. This is a cool place with many, many options. Go see for yourself. You will thank me later.“

“First time here, I liked the name LOLWe had the chicken wings and Goat Curds (cheese curds). Tuesday is karaoke night. We didn't stay for that. No one wants to hear me sing. Hubby and I were given two tokens for a free drink next time we stop by and we will. I want to try a burger......Parking: It is very well lit up in the back of the building. You can enter from the front or back of the building and after a certain hour you can sit in front of the building where the window goes up. Cool....“

“First time at Vickie's yesterday! Food was great , the docks are decent and has a beautiful view. Really great spot for delicious burgers, salads, and sandwiches. Didn't get a chance to try the pizza, but really the whole menu looks amazing. Friendly service, fun cocktails, and a scenic waterfront setting make this a great spot for casual dining. The servers were polite and great by treating customers so well. They gave everything from bringing extra napkins to refilling our drinks without having to ask. Definitely will be coming back again !“

“They have amazing burgers! The bacon on them is super thick. They give you a ton of fries (they are waffle fries, the best). We get Chipotle mayo instead of the dijonaise. And they have $3 beers on Fridays. Its not usually busy when we go but the staff is great.“

“My favorite local place to grab dinner and a drink!! Delicious food and I feel like they have a new cocktail I want to try every time I’m there. Also love Cattleman's when looking for some fun during the week. The karaoke on Tuesdays and singo bingo on Wednesday nights is so much fun with friends!“

“Dairy Queen is one of my all-time favorites and my life. I always go there and get the banana split. It is one of my favorite things in the world and oh boy, does dairy Queen make it so enticing that I just keep coming back for more and more. I probably have had seven banana splits and the last week.Parking: It's somewhat difficult to park in there because you're trying to right off of main road. And usually it's all backed up and you'll be sitting in the main road waiting to get in there. But I got to say it's worth the wait. They do have plenty of parking though if you would like to park. There's two different entrances but that's most definitely accessible. Just sometimes hard to find a spot to parkKid-friendliness: It's very cuz of friendly all the food there is fresh made for you. My daughter loves dairy Queen. I share my banana split with her sometimes. And oh boy it's like I can't even eat it for myself but it's okay, sharing is caring.“

“Decent food, reasonable prices! Nice staff! The thing that really caught my attention was that the windows across the front were spotless clean!! That tells me alot!! The owner seems to care about his business!! We will return when we are back in the area!!“

“They have a great outdoor patio that often has live music. They have a menu you can order from and also grilled corn and burgers that they make outside. The owner comes by to say hello and you really feel welcome. Off to the slide they have playground equipment, basketball, and volleyball.“

“I used to always call LaBemi's the hidden gem of Crystal Lake restaurants.They had a short decline for a while but they're on their way back up ..!For those of us who enjoy Old Uptown Crystal Lake, there's nothing like these restaurants, taken ya back in time, in quaint old buildings Off the Corporate corridor on Route 14...“

“Kind of expensive. Like $10 for cheapest burger they have, and no drive threw. But it is a nice greasy yummy burger. Oh and i forgot to get the CAJUN FRIES!!! Oh man! Its only 5 guys and meatheads that have CAJUN FRIES ? 5 guys is way closer though. Gotta get my CAJUN fix!!! I'll be back!!!Oh and they got free peanuts!!! Did u hear that!?!? FREE FOOD!!! FREE PEANUTS ? ???“

“We used this location as a meeting spot to interview a potential wedding planner. Very clean and quiet Culver's restaurant. The restaurant staff was not quite as accommodating as the Waukegan-Fountain Square location, but we received what we ordered and enjoyed our time there.“

“We had our Christmas party at Mary’s Hideway. We were a party of 11. Mary and Carla were very attentive making sure we were taken care of. Service and food was great! Variety of food and drinks and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!“

“Not sure i will go back. First time I had the beef. Juice tasted watered down. 2nd time had the double cheeseburger meal. Almost 16.00 and the sandwich had no flavor to itRound 2 my friend really wanted to go here. I was skeptical. Stpped in for a late lunch and I got a juicy beef with sweet peppers and mozzarella. My friend s combo beef and sausage with hot peppers. Today they where both spot on! Resturant was clean and the service was very good.I will go back“

“I've been here a few times and I've always been satisfied but today I am moved to tell you what a good experience I had. The food is good. It's a little on the pricey side but I'd rather keep it local when I want a simple hot dog lunch. The woman who greeted me and took my order was so warm and friendly, and she made sure I walked away with a smile on my face. The place is bright and immaculate. I will be back.“

“Every thing in this place is so good, the food was delicious and fresh, the staff were so friendly and nice.The place was so clean, the tables, the floor and the food trays .the bathroom was so clean.I enjoyed eating there, I tried new item ( buffalo wrap) was good but small.Overall one of the best locations of BK“

“I was here with my daughter for dinner one night. My chicken sandwich was rubbery. It didn’t have a good texture to it at all. I’m not sure why, but it’s never happened before here. The rest of the meals were great. We are always greeted with a smile and with friendliness. An older gentleman brought our food out to our car. He was very sweet. I didn’t catch his name tag, but we liked him a lot.“

“Who doesn’t like a nice fast food meal. Culver’s has great food items to choose from, but their choice of ice cream toppings is absolutely insanely AMAZING. I asked for a random choice of ice cream and topping and they delivered without a fuss. I will say that the restaurant was nicely clean too.“

“The service was slow but not due to the workers. More due to management not properly staffing the establishment. The bartender/waitress deserved some large tips for handling the plus 30 people in there today. I just went in to pick up three pizzas and had to patiently wait to be served. But she had an almost full bar and another 15 people at tables. Food was good but it seems management is lacking.“

“Ok, let's face it, all hamburgers are not built the same. When you crave a GOOD burger, Five Guys should always be on the list. All the food is good and the French fries are some of the best.As far as this location, the staff was welcoming, immediately engaged customers, and were efficient in making all orders.Centrally located near most shopping in Crystal Lake.Yum, Yum, go get you some!“

“Very good inexpensive food. The service was great, the guy was extremely educated about his job and extremely honest. The ambiance of the restaurant was very classic and calm and there was nice music with a view of IL 120. During my order the guy accidentally clicked 2 Italian beefs and before giving the food he simple apologized and gave the money back for the extra sandwich. Very respectful.“

“I haven't dined here in about 15-20 years, but it was so GREAT to be back! I had the Cajun Sunrise Burger, bacon cheese fries, onion rings, chopped salad and strawberry shake! Everything was so fresh and delicious! Service was quick and efficient too! Loved the clean, woodsy organic interior and the cool 80s and 90s pop tunes playing overhead (brought back fond memories of my high school and college years)! I will definitely come back to the Barrington Meatheads location!!!“

“I saw a BOGO deal online for blizzards if you ordered using the app but couldn't figured out how to get the deal. I went to dairy queen in Algonquin off main Street and the girl working the register helped me figure it out. She was so warm and welcoming and friendly and really made the experience great!“

“Best tasting burger I've ever eaten, and trust me I've enjoyed alot of burgers in my day. All natural fries are amazing. Also if you dig it, I recommend trying the poutine. So so good. Service was excellent. Food was cooked fresh and fast. I will be back very soon! Thank you for spoiling my taste buds. ?“

“My good friend Maureen threw a party here for her granddaughter’s 9th birthday a few weeks ago and the owner/manager Selena went above and beyond to make her day special! She set up tables and extra crowns. There was Halloween coloring sheets for the kids and she made ordering meals and getting drinks for a party of 13 easy!“

“For the people of Carpentersville and the surrounding area it is a good place to spend a pleasant and fun time, it has pizza, pasta, wings and more, very good seasoning and flavor of the food, on Thursdays it has a special and drinks before 10:00pm and they have karaoke night and on Saturdays they have a DJ, you can eat, drink and dance in one place, they also rent the place to celebrate a party although I recommend that if it is family it is during the day, the attention of the waitresses is excellent and I know Good place because you've been there often.?????“

“Young man named Deacon is always amazing at the window. Super capable, kind, and helpful.Makes the experience great. Which is huge since my kids repeatedly ask to go to Culver’s. It’s crazy how much a cashier at a fast food window changes the experience so much.Keep it up Deacon!“
