50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Lake Villa

“Me and my family LOVE this Sammie's specifically. It has a homie atmosphere inside, the workers feel like they're in sync and are very nice to the customers. The food they make is addicting, especially their chocolate shakes. When my family and I move, we'll most likely get Sammie's on the last day we live in this area.“

“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!“

“Reasonable prices, Good food“

“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.“

“great atmosphere,quick and friendly.“

“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!“

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

“Food was good, mu daughter was amazed of sa fan andvthe decorations“

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

“I’ve ordered at this location several times and the food is consistently good, fries always hot and fresh. I ordered pick up from UberEats today and accidentally ordered at the wrong location.. which I didn’t realize until I came to pick up my food… A gentleman named Teal was working behind the counter and said he would call the other location right away to cancel the order and remake my food for me! He was so kind and accommodating and gave me zero issue. I am very pleased at the quality service I received today. Of course food was delicious on top of it. Thank you so much Teal!! 🙏“

“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.“

“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.“

“Friendly cashier. And the music is awesome 👏“

“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.“

“The best food. I love Sammie’s!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“I was there this afternoon picking up lunch. The NICEST gentleman was working in the drive thru window. He asked where my smile was and that it’s a shame to see a beautiful woman without a smile. So that made me smile! He then handed me my food and said,” Have a great day my sunshine!” He completely made my day. What a kind man with a very positive, welcoming attitude!!“

“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! ❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Andreas was super friendly, completing a huge 20 pizza order and was still able to keep up with the morning rush.

His female coworker had the door open at 10am even though it doesn't open till 10:30am. She offered to take a break and help my order as soon as she was completed. By happenstance, I was just checking the place out.

And I'm glad I did.

This place is exceptionally clean.

They're very tidy and organize.

The thin crust mad-dog pizza is out of this world!

Again, another location worth visiting.If you're in the area!“

“While picking up dinner tonight at the Antioch location, the fire alarms had went off. The team was really assuring that there was no real emergency. Though it did create a communication barrier being so loud, the staff remained calm and friendly. To make up for it, a gentleman passed out cookies to those in line. This location is very clean and you can tell the staff takes pride. Can’t wait to continue to make this our go to comfort food place!“

“I wanted authentic Chicago Hotdogs and they delivered!“

“The Subway on Rollins Road in Round Lake was an excellent experience from start to finish. The restaurant was extremely clean, from the dining area to the food prep stations, showing great attention to hygiene and detail. It was also very spacious, making it comfortable to dine in without feeling crowded. The quality of the food was outstanding—everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. I was also impressed by their phenomenal speed and efficiency, as my order was ready in no time without sacrificing quality. Overall, it was an impressive visit, and I will definitely be returning soon“

“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!“

“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.“

“Everytime I've ordered from this location the order is accurate, tastes great, & fast & friendly service. I deliver for uber eats so I see a lot of restaurants over & over & notice grease marks & fingerprints all over many front doors, dirty counters, etc but not this location. Everything always looks clean, they have lots of hot food they keep making while selling so much, so theres always plenty. All the employees are always running around working hard, nobody is ever just standing! And they are all very friendly. Everybody seems to put in teamwork so everything runs efficiently. There is an amazing crew here & with that being said they must have one awesome manager! I cant say enough good about you guys! Way to go & keep up the good work!! -Rachel-❤️“

“i like the place its confortable and good service“

“All the employees are nice. There’s a lady that’s been working here for a while and she’s the best - always friendly and cheerful and if you have to wait on something, she always let you know right away. The food is hot and fresh and the treats just seem to taste better at this location.“

“Clean and courteous, excellent soups and sandwiches“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Taco Bell drive-through and was served by an employee named Liliana. From the moment I reached the speaker, Liliana greeted me with the kind of cheerful enthusiasm that instantly brightens your day. Not only was she pleasant, but her patience and thorough knowledge of the menu were evident as she answered several questions I had regarding different menu items. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she had a knack for making you feel like a valued customer.The order was not only taken accurately but was also prepared perfectly, a testament to Liliana's attention to detail. It's rare to encounter someone who demonstrates such dedication and efficiency in their work. Liliana's work ethic was apparent, and she managed the bustling drive-through with grace and competence.Employees like Liliana are the backbone of customer service-oriented businesses. Her hard work and stellar performance do not go unnoticed and are worthy of commendation. I believe she would be an excellent candidate for a bonus in recognition of her outstanding service. Moreover, with such a display of leadership qualities and operational mastery, she is undeniably ready for a promotion to a managerial position. Liliana is a true asset to the Taco Bell team, and I look forward to my next visit, hoping to receive the same level of exceptional service. Five stars all the way!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“The BEST people and always fresh! In running a business I appreciate how nice they are to me and my family! We are regulars! The specialty burgers ROCK And I LOVE their pop choice because I � COKE ZERO! Awesome place!“

“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.“

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

“We had ordered Taco Bell the other night for pick up on the app, and once we got home, we had food missing, and the food just wasn't good. They were very skimpy on meat as well. We called in, and the gentleman said he would have our order replaced and to ask for him or Sandra. I went back today, and Sandra (manager) was EXTREMLY nice and helpful. Our food was fresh and delicious! She even threw in a cinnamon twist. Thank you so much for making it right with a smile on your face, Sandra! You ladies always do a wonderful job during the day shift!“
