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).“

“Honestly, this is the best McDonald’s I’ve ever been to. I pick up a lot of orders for people at my place of work here, and every time the crew has been nothing short of amazing. They’re always very nice, apologetic when it takes awhile to fill an order (which is totally fine!), and the food is usually super fresh. No issues! Give everyone a raise, they deserve it!“

“This is my go to lunch spot. Great food, service and pricing!“

“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.“

“I recommend Leo’s for good food served by friendly people. Get on their email list for money-saving coupons. Keep this family owned business going!“

“I always love this place, the food here is always fresh made to order they always get it Right and they hire some of the most incredible people with great attitudes and exceptional customer service, the guys at this location was awesome!!!!!!!“

“ordered 2 chicago style hot dogs, Italian beef combo w/ mozzarella cheese and Giardiniera, jalapeño poppers and onion rings. $33.00 ☹️ the combo had barely any beef or Giardiniera on it. the onion rings were a big clump of a soggy greasy mess. the poppers were soggy too. They were not edible, threw them away. I don't know what happened, they used to be really good.“

“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.“

“10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Great food the gyros was amazing I think the New owner is doing a great job taking care the place“

“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.“

“Friendly cashier. And the music is awesome 👏“

“Great food very clean and the workers are very nice“

“Millers always have Great Food and homemade Root Beer Recommendations to Stop and give a try of their excellent Menu.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Fantastic Mexican food. Friendly Staff. Hidden Gem. Eat local.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.😊“

“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.“

“Came here after a long day of walking at the nearby amusement park. Place was not very crowded and we were able to order immediately and sit down. I ordered a mod pizza with several custom toppings. Pizza came out relatively fast, about 15 minutes, and were very warm. Pizza came out delicious and perfectly cooked. Pizza definitely filled me up fully. Overall, strongly recommend for a delicious pizza!“

“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.“

“My wife is Celiac so we always need to be extra cautious when we order out. Typically we play it safe with the BOGO Double Butter Burger Deluxe burgers w/o bread but tonite we were feeling like a change of pace so I took a chance a called to what other GF options we had. Olivia was an absolute rock star and knew all the answers to my gluten free questions. She spoke to me on the phone and then assisted with my additional questions once I was onsite to order. A HUGE thanx to Olivia for her patience and expertise and to Culver’s for offering those with Celiac Disease options when they don’t feel like cooking and want a quick bite out!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great experience at lunch during the week. Their team was kind & considerate of our group of 8. Thank you Culvers!“

“At 9:00 p.m., on Friday, December 16, 2022, our group of thirty-plus 6th through 8th graders, and their parents, converged upon 5555 Grand Avenue in Gurnee, IL. Our normal after performance ice cream place had closed early that night, so we set our sets on the next closest, largest and family friendly restaurant…McDonalds. We were loud. 30 kids singing show tunes at 9:00 at night, immediately following a theater performance? We were SO loud and ridiculously unorganized. Your employees, every single one of them still left at the restaurant at that hour, were so kind, patient, understanding, friendly, polite and hard-working. The manager on staff at the time, Cesar Lopez, managed it all beautifully and even kindly suggested we call ahead next time so he can be certain he’ll have enough staff on hand to handle another after-theater surge. While our kids were all mostly well-behaved and polite, it was definitely loud, controlled chaos for a good hour. We’re so very thankful for the extremely respectful way our kids were treated that night. The employees at 5555 Grand Avenue made what could have been a very stressful event into a…non-issue. Which, when you’re trying to corral 30+ adolescents, is a very good thing. You’ve found customers for life.“

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

“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! ❤️“

“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!“

“I wanted authentic Chicago Hotdogs and they delivered!“

“The employees here work hard and always have my online orders on time. Only ever had one issue where I wanted extra banana peppers and got a total of 4 of them, other than that the kids working here deserve raises. They are always courteous and respectful every time I stop here which is a ton.“

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

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