50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Island Lake

“Great food and the nicest people working to serve the best customer service! We will be ordering again in the future!“

“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.“

“Cute updated play area...“

“Great food and staff and the fresh cut fries were extra good!“

“Amazing, astonishing, yummy. The chicken here is so good. It can be a bit chewy and messy sometimes but it is perfectly heated. My personal favorite thing there has to be the bread. (I usually replace my coleslaw with another bread.) and the #1 thing we have to mention is the sauce. It truly could not get better.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Thursday morning, December 22, several family members met for breakfast at Egg Harbor in Barrington. This week was special because we were celebrating Christmas together while feeling the emptiness of a second Christmas without Marlene (wife, sister, sister-in-law). When my brother-in-law went to settle our bill, he was advised that someone had already paid our tab. Thank you, stranger, for your act of kindness. You lifted my spirit more than you can imagine. I hope to pay it forward. If you are reading this, I thank you and wish you peace.“

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

“Very good hot dog; they really grill it until it is hot. A "Shroomer" made as a grilled chicken sandwich is good. The burger is good and I have ended up getting a kid's meal last time so that I can try to eat less meat. I am more of a light weight person anyway. The inside of the restaurant could be renovated. They are still in the real old Kooker's building with the same old tile floor that Kooker's restaurant had when I was in high school. It is over 20 years later now. I have been willing to go back to Happy Burger to get meals. The people at the front desk are nice. I do admit, though, sometimes I end up getting a burger for $3 at fast food drive-throughs. Happy Burger (HB) burger tastes more like a fresh made juicy burger when compared to the McDonald's on the other side of the street. HB fries are not bad but could be better because when the HB fries come up and go into a bag, I have found they were a bit wet.Wet fries is a common imperfection with Chicago-style grills.“

“this place is awesome. I've visited probably a dozen times since they have opened. I've never had cold food here and everything I've tried is always good. Manager frequently walks thru the dining room to make sure everything is ok. Impressive.“

“Best hotdog and fries in town!! Fast service, friendly staff.“

“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.“

“Parking: Ultimate park space available and customer service is good, environment friendly.

Kid-friendliness: If the kids love chick fil a they will like it, I haven't dine in yet but maybe one day.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“reasonable for the pasta!“

“Did a pick up order from here today, and everything was delicious! It was our first time trying this place, and we will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Go to his Lake Villa Sammie for years , I have been to all their locations.Food is always delicious, owner is there often, not all Sammie has same food for some reasons.I don't care about their ribs tho but it is not a BBQ restaurant anyway.“

“Prices are NUTS, but this a great burger. Solid location too, pretty timely too, the majority of experiences I’ve had here have been very satisfying. Honestly speaking, 5 Guys in general is just one of the best burgers you can get around, even though it’s a chain. Honestly, if they dropped the price a bit I’d be here ALL the time“

“I love, love, LOVE this place. Super friendly staff and excellent food!“

“food taste is average compared to others. but as per the price it’s good. menu can be customized also if you’re a vegetarian. always a go to meal, the service is quick and love their tasty sauce sashes with the cute funny one liners.

Vegetarian options: while ordering online, you can switch beef/meat options with beans or potatoes. I’m not sure if we can customize order offline as well or not.“

“Friendly service and great food. Best Gyros in McHenry!“

“The thing I love of this fast food restaurant is that they always give me fresh food. I can't remember ever getting something stale or cold. The service is good most of the time and we'll the atmosphere, it's a fast food joint there isn't much to brag there“

“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.“

“Wow best Chicago hot dog I have ever had, service was great. My new go to place.“

“Burger and fries were both great“

“I have updated my review to 5 stars because they are one of the few fast food restaurants that has a good tasting gluten free hamburger bun.

Dietary restrictions: Though they have gluten free buns, they do not have designated gluten free cooking stations. I am not hypersensitive to gluten so I can eat their burgers and grilled chicken without adverse reactions.“

“Drive-thru on 11/23/2024 at around 3:20.

Got a chocolate shake and a large cheese curd. Asked if we could get the shake made w chocolate custard instead of vanilla, we were told no problem. Asked why they usually use the vanilla custard for the Choco shake out of curiosity and the employee explained why without any hesitation. He was young but was well trained considering who knew the answer for such a minor detail.

Food and drink took a bit but that's fine. Slow and well done over fast and rushed anyday.

We get our stuff. Chocolate shake was good considering my mother drank half of it in 10 minutes or so.

Cheese curds were the most freshly done curds I've ever gotten from a Culver's before. Not reheated old cheese curds, not undercooked or oversalted cheese curds, but hot and finely salted cheese curds.

Probably the best Culver's experience I've ever had and that it happened on a Saturday of all days - the day most employees of establishments tend to check out - is astonishing.

Will certainly make a point of visiting this location more frequently as opposed to the Huntley location. Am curious about their burgers if this is the sort of quality I can expect on occasion (at the very least).

Tell your employees they did a fantastic job and that this customer appreciates their work. Y'all made my day, no embellishment, no overreaction. Honest to God made my day.“

“Al tho, there is no indoor seating. But the staff are nice and the food was very affordable and the only grill and chill in Lake County in Illinois so far. I will comeback!“

“i can't speak on the past reviews but i'd love to shoutout a couple people. Arelia & Luis. had issues with the Taco Bell app, which is out of their hands, yet they delivered the best customer service EVER at a fast food restaurant. rockstars! thank you!“

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

“What a breath of fresh air. I know running a Subway is incredibly difficult with how corporate gouges the franchised locations, but this location stands above the rest. No skimping on ingredients, great attitudes and friendly employees. This is the Subway to go to.“

“We went to Panini Bar, as we had a craving for a panini this afternoon and we googled “panini near me”. This place came up. We ordered avocado panini (vegetarian) and Turkey pesto panini. Both were REALLY REALLY tasty. Avocado panini had a bit of spaciness to it (which I loved). Turkey panini was absolutely delicious with basil pesto. All ingredients were fresh and panini was nice and crispy. We rally enjoyed our food. The only thing we didn’t realize is that this is a deli, not a cafe. So there is no opportunity for dine-in. But we found a couple benches outside and had a nice picnic on a bench. Overall, great sandwich take-out place! Service was great too, very nice and polite.“

“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.“

“Ok, the menu is limited to mains of chicken tenders and chicken tender sandwiches. But the chicken is moist, and the breading is seasoned well. For me, the stars of the show are the Texas toast and the Cane's sauce. The sauce has a bit of a kick and is savory, and I dip everything in it. Cane's has become one of my favorite fast food joints.“

“Where should i begin. Great costumer service, everything was great. That young lady that works there with black hair and beautiful face, her service is amazing. Wish i could talk to her more.“

“We used to come here every time we traveled through the area and actually go out of our way to go there. We used to live in the area. I was always impressed on how the man behind the counter could remember the orders and not write them down. The food was always great. We were there recently and it seems they changed owners? The Italian beef is still good, I ordered a Chicago hotdog. There was no poppyseed bun and way too much mustard so that the bun fell apart. The hot dog itself didn’t taste the same either.They used to have booths with soft seats which were nice for elderly people. All they have now are long tables and small bar stools to sit on which was an option before. Hard to be comfortable. It’s a different person taking orders. I was disappointed and we probably won’t go out of our way to come back.“

“Double Butterburgers!!👍👍👍👍👍“

“Place is always spotless clean and staff friendly. Just be careful, they do NOT accept cyber/digital/email coupons only tranditional paper coupons

Parking: Watch carefully for the correct driveway. There are multiple small strips here, and the parking lots do not interconnect“

“Out of all the Taco Bell’s I’ve been at, this place hits the spot. Yeah, it’s a chain fast food restaurant, but at the end of the day, it’s open super late, the food is cheap and always good, and it’s filling. The staff is always nice to me as well. Never had a bad experience here. Shoutout to LZ Taco Bell!“

“I have never given any subway 5 stars before, but this location is the best because of how KIND this employee is. We went here twice and each time he was patient, and the second time we came here last minute and he still let my partner in for sandwhiches. He was putting everything away already and he works 12 hours a day! Because of this man honestly! Thank you so much for being kind! Sadly it is very rare to find a genuine kind person now a days! I had to leave this review.“

“Awesome food! Amazing service! The employees there were so nice and were so on top of it on such a busy day.“

“Actually very impressed with the visit in the drive through today,

Overall experience was great

Dave’s single was fresh and hot, and the special requests were followed!

Crispy chicken sandwich was hot and fresh as well as the cheese fries only issue was the fries were to salty but not overly salted!

Vegetarian options: Salads, baked potatoes“

“Served the food that i wanted instead of breakfast, was actually surprised with that.
New frosty was amazing (like, actually), and the fries were literally a new experience with the ghost pepper sauce. Burger was amazing, very crisp and tasty.
Overall, would prefer over McDonalds.“

“Love that chicken for Popeye's!! This location is the best in the area. Been eating here since they opened in Round lake. Only 2 times in all the years have they made a mistake on my to go orders and they were quick to apologize and fix it right away. Food is always hot and fresh. The sweet tea is fire. Highly recommend“

“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!“

“Best popcorn ever, and the stand adds such a good feeling to our little town!“
