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.“

“Very good food, we opted to try this place instead of taking the kids to somewhere like mcdonalds and paying almost the same prices. Fries were delicious! The kids meals came with a slider cheeseburger, chicken bites, fries and juice so they got to try a little bit of everything. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend for a quick bite to eat.“

“Great place to eat and excellent service .“

“GREAT food! The double slaw burger was amazing (and no Cole slaw like I was thinking). The onion rings were delicious and very generous portions. I look forward to going back soon.“

“Always great food! Love the seasonal menu.“

“Great friendly service! They know their products and are very helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed and very clean! The burgers are really good ( and I’m not a huge burger fan). The chicken tenders are so very tasty! The breading is just right. Perfect flavor, perfect texture and the chicken is real and tender meat! This place is a CAN’T MISS!!!“

“The food genuinely surprised me. It was flavorful and juicy. I had the cowboy with a side of fries. The fries have a perfectly crispy exterior and soft melt in your mouth interior. The seasoning blend used is excellent. I have to say they were the best fries I have had from a restaurant fast food or traditional. I chose this place to celebrate my wife graduating from Navy boot camp in Great lakes. For her first burger, fries, and shake in two months. Thank you for excellent food and atmosphere. The gentleman at the front was very polite and attentive. Also nice muscles bro! The prices are reasonable for what you are getting“

“Amazing service ! Bar tender Jimmy was absolutely great. My boyfriend and I stopped by for a quick drink and soup before the movies and had a Good time thanks to him!“

“I have wanting to eat here. So last week we were in the neighborhood and they didn't disappointed. The Texas Burger was very good. The FF were alittle well done. But we left full. Our server was there by herself and did a excellent job. I watch her stay on top thing. We are definitely coming back.“

“Staff is always friendly, gave us a free t-shirt as well. Food is amazing every single time! Best chicago style food in the area.“

“Still the best burger around“

“The perfect "old time " ice cream and food stand!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Good 👍 food yummy 😋 good Customer service“

“I had not been to a Five Guys in forever, but what an experience here! Tai (sp?) has the best customer service skills! Personable, bubbly, funny--she's a keeper! The guy on the flat top was singing along to the tunes, grooving. Great atmosphere, awesome staff.“

“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!“

“Always visiting this place before the show but this time decided to attend after Sunday 5pm show. Service was amazing, it was 11 of us, and kind hostess Sandra could figure it out very quickly even if we had no reservation. Our group enjoyed food even if it took a bit longer than we expected. Will be coming back for sure.“

“There is a home flavored taste to all the dishes. Very home style foods every time. very spacious atmosphere inside or outside .“

“Best burgers in the area!“

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

“Great food and great service!“

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

“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.“

“Oh my gosh this place is so friendly and accommodating. I wish there was one near where I live!
Food is fun; you get to check off on the sandwich bag what you want on your sandwich. They take it and put it on a pulley line and make your sandwich!

Also, the atmosphere is peak; they have chess! 🙌“

“I love absolutely every bite“

“Yummy burgers and fries! We had fried pickles too“

“prices very reasonable, friendly staff. attentive service.“

“I really enjoyed celebrating my birthday on Sunday for brunch. The food was amazing the drinks were delicious and the service was excellent. The servers were very attentive. The DJ was on point as well. I will for sure be back for brunch soon.“

“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“

“Great pizza. Miss having one near us.“

“Absolutely the best gyros I have ever had! They cut the pita in quarters, so it doesn't get grease soaked. Tomato slices were thick and fresh! Next time I'm craving gyros, they will be from Nikkos!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We celebrated my mom’s birthday at Field House in Deerfield and it was honestly such a special experience from start to finish.

The atmosphere is beautiful—warm, inviting, and perfect for both an intimate family dinner or a bigger celebration. From the moment we walked in, the team made us feel so welcomed and taken care of, which made the night even more meaningful.

The food completely exceeded expectations. Everything we ordered was incredible—from the homemade cheese curds (a must!) to the nachos, and my personal favorite, the lobster gnocchi. The menu truly has something for everyone, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor.

What really stood out was how accommodating and kind everyone was while we celebrated. They made my mom feel so special, and that’s something we’ll always remember.

If you’re looking for a place that delivers amazing food, great energy, and a genuinely memorable experience, Field House is it. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“This is the second time in a week that we've chosen to eat at this restaurant. It is so delicious. I could go back 200 times and always pick something different. And I'm sure every single time it would be hot, spicy, perfect, and delicious. Such great choices. I highly recommend this Korean chicken and boba restaurant.“

“Ten years ago began my obsession with Frank’s corn nuggets. In high school, every time I had a dollar to spend, I’d head to Frank’s for an order of corn nuggets. Any time anyone asks me what my favorite food is, for the past ten years it has been Frank’s corn nuggets. Today, for the first time ever, I ordered corn nuggets and they were sold out! I told the owner about my long-held love of these fried treats and how I now live in Wisconsin but often travel to Mundelein specifically to have them. He says he has been trying to get the product in but unfortunately couldn’t get his hands on them lately. I sighed, and ordered a corn dog (closest corn substitute on the menu), onion rings, and sweet potato fries. All were great! At the end of my meal the owner surprises me with a small order of corn nuggets he had searched his supply for after I told him my story. Just great people and great times at Frank’s for the Memories as always! Frank’s holds a space in my heart forever and always and while they don’t have the corn nuggets today I will continue to return for the care and welcoming feel they always provide.
Thanks Frank’s“

“I don't even know where to start. We went after graduation with our sailor. It wasn't crowded and everyone was so nice and so helpful. We ordered individual meals and an additional deep dish pizza (which was DELICIOUS) and it wasn't too expensive at all. Everyone enjoyed the variety of their individual meals and we definitely loved the pizza. The customer service had a great hometown feel and we felt right at home.“

“Best people work here Food is great Pride in ownership Known Peter for years“

“We love the welcoming & friendly staff to my husband and I as well as my dog when eating on the comfortable and shady patio! The menu is very interesting & diverse ! Hard decisions each time! The cheese curds are delicious and unlike any other restaurants”s version! Highly recommended!!!!“

“Good food and very friendly owner“

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

“Excellent food and friendly staff with great prices!“

“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.“
