Burger Restaurants near Mettawa

“This is my husband’s and my favorite breakfast stop while traveling from Illinois to Tennessee. Why can’t other McDonald’s be just as good? We always have freshly baked breakfast sandwiches with efficient and friendly service. Real clean too. Look forward to another visit on our next trip.“

“Delicious Food and awesome service !!! We have now been enjoying this Dengeos Location for 4 awesome years !!!

Kid-friendliness: There are highchairs and large tables to accommodate.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ample parking and ease of entrance.“

“The service was fine. Our server was polite and responsive. The atmosphere is casual. As there are lots of hard surfaces, the noise level is somewhat high. The food was good. The "black truffle" barrata is a ball of cheese on top of some stewed green vegetables. I detected no evidence of any truffles in the dish. No truffle aroma or flavor. Seafood pasta primavera was tasty with fresh seafood.“

“We went here for dinner tonite. Was just as amazing as what we remember when they were in McHenry!! We sure miss you in McHenry!!! Please hurry and come back 🙃😊 The staff is always friendly and very good customer service!! Always was a favorite place of ours.“

“The food is outstanding !!“

“Special thanks to Epic Burger for sponsoring the Pony Shop Juniors Cyclocross team, which practices over at Meadowhill Park in Northbrook. Speaking for my family, we've really enjoyed the chicken fingers, plant-based burgers and, of course, the smashburgers. We greatly appreciate their support.“

“Everything I’ve tried so far has been amazing! Fresh ingredients, clean establishment, and friendly staff. The steak and chicken Philly and burgers are my go to but the gyros are amazing as well. The fries are addicting! Give em a try and I’m willing to bet you’ll be a regular.“

“The service and food were awesome! I'd definitely recommend to friends and family!“

“found only in Illinois, I wish I had one in Florida, this place is amazing! fries crispy and delicious. price is extremely reasonable. I've had almost all the sandwiches and they are all delicious!! my favorite probably the honey hot chicken and Farmhouse burger.“

“We went with our Burger Club to Lucky Burgers (a.k.a. Jelly Cafe after dark or 4pm, whichever comes first).

Jelly Cafe is a breakfast and lunch place open 7am until 2pm. Then they switch over to Lucky Burgers which is open from 4pm until no one is there and they want to go home. Though technically I think they’re open until 8 or 9pm.

There are a handful of items on the Lucky Burgers’ menu: about 5 variations of their classic burger, a chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, and waffle fries.

When we went, the place was empty and never got busy. Which opened the door for one of the owners, Scott, to regale us with tales of days gone by from his childhood in Evanston and the famous people he knew, grew up with, and worked with. It was nice hearing these stories and it was nice to give Scott something and somebodies to talk to as well.

The place has a large parking lot and is nice and clean on the inside. There is a tiny area with slot machines and a small bar/counter at the entrance.

The burgers are all smashburgers. They come as singles or double patties. Go for the double as there’s not a whole lot of meat once they’re smashed. The differences are the toppings. Scott recommends their housemade dijonaise sauce which is good, but ask for it on the side. The cook slathers it on the burger and that’s all you can taste. Once I scooped (you read that correctly) the sauce off my burger, it was a pretty good burger. The meat is seasoned well and cooked nicely and the bun holds up (despite dripping in dijonaise).

We all shared the chicken tenders as an appetizer. Five nice sized tenders come in the meal and you can choose your dipping sauce. Scott recommended their honey mustard which was very good and the ranch wasn’t bad either.

He is also johnny-on-the-spot to refill fill your drinks. I seriously thought that I would float away.

The best part is the price. All said and done for a burger, waffle fries, and a soda, with tax and tip is like $15-$18 bucks.

It’s a nice place that I need to go back to and visit for the Jelly Cafe side. AND return for their burgers, tenders, and more of Scott’s stories.“

“Good 👍 food yummy 😋 good Customer service“

“Nice in hotel restaurant/bar. Service was excellent and loved the look of it. We had burgers which were very generous in size. Tasted good, partly because black Angus, but overall good. Got them to go since we weren't staying at that hotel. They were done and ready to go very quickly!“

“This restaurant was a great find. The cheeseburger and fried chicken bites were delicious. I highly recommend trying the chicken and lamb bowls. All sauces can be ordered on the side if you like your food mild. My kids loved the Nutella bubble tea and Oreo pudding. PLUS they have board games like Uno, Connect Four, Jenga, etc.“

“Standard BK, not bad, except, i feel they over salt everything at this location. The fries and nuggets have been super salty the last 3 times I've been. They always have fresh Tacos though, so that is good. And yes BK has a taco on the menu!“

“Great food and great service!“

“I enjoy Five Guys,
I stopped in with my son, one thing you should be aware of, it's fairly pricey. but the personnel were fantastic. 28 bucks for a double cheeseburger, fries, a drink, and a milkshake, is a little steep. but that doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the food. I have eaten at several of these establishments, and they are dependent on the staff and how they prepare the food. this one in particular is one of the better ones.“

“I love absolutely every bite“

“Best burgers in the area!“

“The staff is very friendly. The food was good. The atmosphere was wonderful. I recommend you guys to get the hamburger there they have different ones.“

“Great cocktails. Busy even as the evening started to progress. My beet salad with shrimp was tasty. Pretty lake view“

“What a great lunch after a trip to the Botanic Garden! The double brisket burger was everything a previous review raved about. The mango habanero wings and sweet potato fries were also delightful. We sat outside to eat. Not sure where you would go on less nice days. This is a carry out place with self order on the Ipad.“

“I am a regular and love the street corn tots and loaded hush puppies. Please keep them. Love the beer though!“

“We stumbled in here a few months ago and it is now our go to hang out. Honestly, some of the best burgers and pizza around. Everything is made fresh (even their salad dressings and soups are made in house daily!). Become a regular and you will find family here!“

“Our server, Chris, was very helpful in suggesting meal options, and making sure we had everything we wanted. Our food was delivered quickly, and it was all delicious! We will definitely be back!“

“One of my favorite restaurants. I LOVE the salad with fried goat cheese & beets. Also the croque monsieur was really good 😊“

“I went to Lucky Scottie for the first time. I've been invited by a friend who sings but never made it. I was impressed with the place in Waukegan. I'll be back soon. Keep up the good work!“

“OMG this spot rite here is amazing A1 food no complaints💯“

“Discovered this place while browsing around the area looking for different places to try during my lunch hour: very friendly staff, very quick and convenient, the food was very tasty. Highly recommend!“

“I ordered over 250 boxed lunch sandwiches to kick off peak for my building this year. This Arlington Heights location was on time, super friendly and the food was perfectly fresh! This was also ordered to be delivered at 7:30 AM so they accommodated the early time for us - making all of our workers and drivers happy.“

“Deeeelicious! Everything on the menu is awesome. Nikko’s Burger, gyros, beefs!“

“I’m so happy for that they’re bringing back their original taste, quality and also upgraded menu. New recipes are so yum. Really good. Our whole family loves this place. Also the owner lady’s service is lovely ☺️
If you craving something like sweet and spicy, I highly recommend this one. I love their Tteokbokki, original wings, my kids love their bibimbap, original chicken burger, fries and of course their boba drinks. I can promise their whole menu is so yum 😋.“

“Simply amazing for the last 15 years running!“

“Still the best burger around“

“Went to Little Louie’s on a whim and we loved it. We got a Cajun wrap and cheeseburger with fries. All of it was out to the table very fast and it was excellent tasting. We aren’t from the area but it will be a place we stop at when we come back thru for sure“

“Muy buen servicio y amabidilad very good service and friendly people“

“So bummed, we were coming here a couple of times a month. Since the remodel and menu revamp, their delicious Blackened Steak Wrap is no longer available.👎“

“It’s a great place to bring your family“

“We had a wonderful waiter today named Luke. Friendly service and was very nice. The apple Swiss cheeseburger was wonderful . The staff is super friendly and we will definitely be going back .“

“****A cut above the rest. -Great and consistent food -genuinely attentive and warm service making you feel right at home. Many ingredients are organic—not because it’s a selling point, but simply because that’s how they do things. The flavors feel more like homemade Greek cooking than typical restaurant fare.“

“Franks for the Memories has officially stolen our hearts.. again! My boyfriend and I came back for our second visit, and it was just as amazing as the first. We ordered the boneless wings and fries with cheese sauce, and everything was absolutely delicious. The wings were packed with flavor, the fries were perfectly crispy, and that cheese sauce… heavenly!

Even though the place was busy, the staff had such a great, lighthearted attitude that made the whole experience even better. They were friendly, upbeat, and on top of it all, our food came out in less than 10 minutes! You can tell they care about both the food and the people they’re serving.

We’re so happy to have this gem near our house. We’ll definitely be coming back again and again! :)“

“Awesome experience, love that they support local youth sports organizations. Culver’s is awesome“

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

“Great pizza. Miss having one near us.“

“I've been here three times in the past year and have been wowed each time. The employees are always nice and accommodating. The food is perfect each time, the bathrooms and restaurant itself are very clean, and the space is welcoming! That's saying a lot from someone who worked in a lot of restaurants over the years and can easily spot issues. Bagels are chewy, thaw nicely after being in my freezer for a bit, and make excellent sandwiches. Thank you for the Windex and cleaning up my water bottle catastrophe ;)“

“Great food, friendly staff, low prices…what’s not to love?“

“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!“
