50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Lake Villa

“No matter which location you're at, Sammie's always delivers the goodies. When in the mood for good ol' Chicago style grub, Sammie's name is always somewhere up there.

Really good food all around whether I'm craving gyros, a burger (I'm sorry, a Samburger), Chicago dog or Italian beef: Sammie's always does it right.

This location like others I've been to offers delicious grub at still reasonable prices, a clean dining space and of course friendly customer service.

Keep cookin' up that yummy Chicago style greatness and I'll keep coming back for more. I hope for continued boomin' business for decades to come for the owner(s).“

“Love this McDonald's! they know me by name. Any time there's an issue they are more than happy to fix the problem.

Parking: The parking lot is a little difficult to navigate. BUT if you can read signs and follow arrows it is a one way but small so you just need to make a little circle around the building ?“

“The girl at the counter, was very nice. The receipt said her name was Emily. I ordered an oreo milkshake which was surprisingly more difficult to order than i had planned. Originally i ask the Rainbow Cone counter for an oreo milkshake only to find out they don’t do shakes but the Buona side does. Odd. However, i had to ask the nice cashier what a sweet treat bit milkshake was because the description for the item was “ vanilla milkshake with sweet treat bits”

As someone who’s never been to a Buona location before i had no idea what sweet treat bits are. It would help your customers to know what the ingredients are before purchasing. So if you’re like me and don’t know what the “ bits” are, it’s peanut butter cups and oreo pieces and one other candy that i can’t remember. And you can order each of those ingredients separately in a milkshake. Overall good experience slightly disappointed in having to go to the other counter and not clear ingredients.“

“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.“

“Silly question I don't know about the atmosphere I go to the drive-thru. I get the jalapeno poppers sometimes they are not up to par. I had several with no jalapenos in it, one order was dried out and unedible. They give you sauce that you don't ask for and I throw it out. But I like their jalapeno poppers better than the other places around. Employees are generally nice.“

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

“Whoever was working April 29th at midnight, deserves a RAISE!!! I wish I got his name so I could put it in this review but wow he was a top tier employee. Food was immaculate, which is wild to say about a fast food establishment. Came out super fast. The employee forgot our two medium baja blasts but get this… when we came back through he apologized and upgraded us to larges!! Best Taco Bell I’ve ever been to.“

“You ever watch the American Pie movies?

Those crazy kids always eating at their good ol American burger joint.

That’s the Sammie’s vibes.

American, Chicago, Family owned.

Sammie’s truly treats their customers like family and I can’t say that about many places.

The owner Dom G might be the coolest guy in the world. Friendly, fun, and a breath of fresh air

If you want a good beef, burger, Chicago dog, or my personal favorite the chicken sandwich (fried ofc) stop by and grab a bite“

“Culver’s Grayslake is my 32nd Culver’s. As someone else in the reviews said, “You can’t go wrong with Culver’s.” I visited on Friday, May 23, 2025. Their ice cream always hits the spot and I couldn’t believe how great business was going. The staff was friendly and respectful and overall the mood and atmosphere of Culver’s in Grayslake, Illinois was awesome! (Written 5-30-25)“

“7/15/2024 @5:00 pm
Hands down one of the cleanest, friendliest Taco Bells I've been to in quite some time.
Walked in, and started tomorrow through the kiosk, a yound man (worker) said if we needed help not to hesitate to ask, which I thought was very nice since most young kids and even some adults these days don't want to even look at you and greet you when you walk through the door.

The dining room was super clean and the food was exactly what we ordered, pop wasn't flat like usual.

Thank you to the young staff at this specific Taco Bell. Keep up the good work and thank you for showing respect to your customers.“

“We took the grandkids there, they ate chicken strips, burgers and finished it off with ice cream. Great place.“

“I've been coming here late at night for years
I always have a great experience in drive thru
They always get the order right and they're quick taking the order
Food is almost always fresh, with very few times of overcooked food, but it's extremely rare
I'd rate this Taco bell the best in the area“

“The manager is always cheerful. The Staff is always friendly and Courteous. The food is always hot and delicious.😊“

“The staff was so sweet to my little one who chose to have his 7th birthday family dinner here out of any restaurant!! We got 5 different pizzas and the birthday not got his favorite... MOD style, reg sauce, dairy free cheese, mushrooms, tomato slices, plant based crumble, and... Oh yeah... Extra cheese!! Thanks MOD! Felix is your biggest fan!!“

“I just love how committed this people are to costumers. They really do their best to make you feel the most important thing for them. As a costumer I always feel so spoiled here. Make me want to come back every single time. And hey! Heads up! Have you tried the Reuben? OMG it’s so good!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good food served quickly. We love that there’s something for everyone.“

“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.“

“The chicken, of course, is great, especially the spicy. The staff work very hard, seeing as there is a mountain of fried chicken prepared before anyone orders. The best sides include red beans and rice and fries. I definitely want to come back to try the ghost pepper chix sandwich, etc.“

“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.“

“Haven't had/been there in so long. It's been like 6 or 7 years. Possibly like 2018 or 2019. Customer Service went well, Concrete Mixer is so good, Restaurant is cleanliness even the floors and I will be returning! Good job Culvers in Antioch! ❤️“

“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!“

“i like the place its confortable and good service“

“This is 2 or 3 times now in a row they've messed my order up in the drive thru. And it's a simple order of just a blizzard with 3 or 3 toppings. Not hard at all! They can't understand simple English let alone you can't understand what the worker is saying ether. Everything else is great as always!“

“Dog n Fries…get mine with everything pepper on the side…DELICIOUS 🥰“

“Vanilla shake is the best I’ve ever had! Food was excellent and staff was friendly! Highly recommend Fox Lake Culver’s!“

“I wanted authentic Chicago Hotdogs and they delivered!“

“My wife needed to eat I said Wendy’s plus I was so impressed with the girl taking our order. And for being out during this time I tipped her for being here.“

“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!“

“Clean and courteous, excellent soups and sandwiches“

“su calidad y buen trato todo es fresco y al momento“

“Always a delicious spot for lunch and dinner. Daily specials posted on the white board inside. Tacos never disappoint! I always get 2 tacos and some rice with a horchata. Dine in available but beware parking a little weird outside and if you're unfamiliar with unloading wheelchairs in a slight slant I would park in the side or exterior of the building of at all possible. Parking is limited and easier to pull into going north bound on rt 12. South bound you sit in the meridian until traffic dispurses. There are also signs posted for not parking at the local deli next door, just avoid the south end of the building actually.“

“Nice little DQ that isn't as busy as other locations so it's great for a little treat for the kiddos without crazy long lines.

Kids always get blizzards so it's an easy order, but they come out quickly and correctly do it's a win win.“

“I have never had an issue coming here, the employees are always very sweet and make orders in a timely manner. I absolutely love the icecream from here.Delicious stuff, keep up the good service!!

Kid-friendliness: Great place to take the family !!“

“Cute updated play area...“
