“Just popping on here to say I really like this Crumbl location! I’ve been a big fan of Crumbl for about 4 years now and this location always has consistently great treats. The employees at this Vernon Hills Crumbl are always friendly. I’ve had some nice, light-hearted experiences during order pickup, and they’ve always been efficient and professional, too. I’m easily giving them 5 stars — without hesitation!“

“muy buena atención, productos de buena calidad , rápidez y se mantiene muy limpio .“

“They have the best ice cream! So good I normally only eat 1 scoop but when I go here I get 2 or 3 because they're so good. The employees are so nice, especially the teenage girls. The girl with blond highlights and the girl with dark hair are so sweet! On vacation I went to a gelato place, thier gelato was FULL OF SUGAR all I tasted was sugar but here I actually taste the flavor. The flavors are so good. I 100% recommend the banana and strawberry .I would have given this place six stars but it only goes up to 5.“

“Ice cream is the best around“

“I came here with my kids who were really excited for ice cream and boba, and we were very happy with the quality and service. Superman milkshake was so good, strawberry smoothie with tapioca was my favorite! We all had a blast and Jerry made us feel very welcomed! This will definitely be our ice cream and boba spot.“

“they were very friendly n accomodating to their customers😘“

“Need more syrup on the banana splits. Ice cream was good“

“My husband walked by Graeter’s with our daschund Teddy today. One of the employees was handing out super cute Graeter Icecream dog leashes and a cup of dog icecream. What a treat! We already loved Graeter’s icecream and the delicious flavors, but now Teddy is a huge fan too! Thank you!“

“Es la mejor peletería de la zona“

“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.“

“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.“

“Crumbl Cookie never disappoints! Every time I walk in, the store smells amazing and the staff is super friendly. Their cookies are always warm, soft, and full of flavor. I love that the menu changes every week because there’s always something new and exciting to try. The presentation is so cute, and the pink box makes it feel like a little treat every time.

My favorites so far are the chocolate chip and any of their seasonal flavors — they’re always perfectly baked and taste homemade. If you have a sweet tooth or just want to brighten your day, Crumbl is definitely the place to go! 🍪💗“

“My 4 year old son loved it here!!! He was so proud to have designed a donut (which was actually just the cookies and cream option from the menu) but he watched them make it and decorate it and then showed it to everyone he passed. He said they were the BEST donuts he’s ever had! I had the cold brew with sweet cream which was solid.“

“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!“

“😀We Love It Welcome La Michoacana Premium Gurnee“

“1st time visiting this establishment. Very friendly and nostalgic atmosphere. Had their 1/3 burger and onion rings. It was fantastic!! Best burger I've had in a long time. Actually meaty and fresh not one of those frozen smash burgers. Can't wait for my next visit. Hope to try something new, if I can convince myself to skip the burgers. And did I mention very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!“

“We had a great experience for my sons second birthday. The truck was the talk of the party and the kids loved it. Very professional and reliable.“

“This location is always clean, very welcoming and has friendly workers. They are patient with you ordering and making customizations. Very short wait time for food. Chicken was hot, crispy and had a great taste. Always enjoy stopping by for tenders or butter burgers. We love ordering the family size onion rings!“

“I have to shout out the kid who was working December 13 at 4pm. You were polite, friendly, and despite serving both the counter and the drive thru, you didn’t get flustered and acknowledged everyone’s patience. Thank you for being so kind when I called looking for a cake for my daughter after another location chose not to tell me they were out of stock of what I’d ordered and already paid for (to anyone reading, STAY AWAY FROM THIRD LAKE LOCATION). You helped me make sure my daughter had the cake she wanted for her 18th birthday. I appreciate your willingness to serve others!“

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

“The wait is lengthy but SO WORTH IT. This is literally the best pizza I've ever had, and I've been to Italy. 😆 the gentleman making our food was so attentive and you can tell he put his heart into the food. We had the pesto pizza and wings and both were 🔥🔥🔥 I will drive an hour to go here again!“

“The Italian beef sausage combo was delicious. The only thing I disliked about is was the amount of Italian beef (they were very skimpy with it). The gyro is also also delicious. The pizza slices are okay.

The cashier was nice but needs to be a bit more welcoming“

“My husband and I stopped by today to get 2 shrimp dinners. it's my birthday and that's what I wanted to be my birthday meal. The shrimp dinners were very good. There were !ots of shrimp and fries, all crispy and delicious. We will be back again soon. The food was great!“

“great restaurant very good food and service“

“VERY overdue but the homie and homegirl on shift were both extremely chill. We had to stop for some ice cream and it was two little girls that we had with us and they were understanding of kids being in there and they threw us a couple of extra apple fritters. Homeboy was wearing like a Japanese belt or something like that which was also very cool.“

“Cold Stone is absolutely amazing! The flavors are rich, creamy, and clearly made with care—every scoop tastes fresh and delicious. There are so many options to choose from, from classic favorites to fun, unique flavors, so there’s truly something for everyone. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. The shop itself has a cozy, happy vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your ice cream instead of rushing out. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to anyone who loves great ice cream! 🍦“

“I went to the store today about 230 place was packed and counter was busy I ordered a cappuccino blast and I wish I got the kids name that made it but he was young and so polite I asked nicely please make sure it's blended and he said no problem first one he put to much ice so before he served it to me he started over and I tell you what it was the best one I ever drank he said sorry for the wait but he nailed it and I was so proud of this kid I wanted to share thanks again cause I treat myself once a month from my diet and it was so worth it“

“Delicious and community minded!! Thank u Culver’s“
