Fast Food Restaurants near Riverside

“First time at this Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers and certainly not our last. Raising Cane's simple menu allows easy orders and quick service. I think only thing lacking was not having lemonade refills alongside the iced tea. This is a great deal for fountain drink lovers... however we try to stay away from soda.Ordered a kids meal and Chicken sandwich with fries. Sandwich has three well sized chicken fingers wedged between a bun, I found it a bit dry. Although after reading comments, I should have asked for a side coleslaw. Next visit I'll ask for that and their dipping sauce to help keep it juicy. Chicken is crispy nevertheless and fries fresh so the food was a well earned four star.The staff here was great, easy to get along with and the clean up crew was busy keeping the dining area spotless. This is one of the cleanest Raising Cane's I've visited.“

“Food was amazing, all the toppings worked together so well! The line went by incredibly fast, and our food came just as quick! Being there was so welcoming and fun, and as a sweet bonu s, you get great food for a great price! I was absolutely stuffed for like 5$! Amazing place, loved it!“

“It was our first time here and the food was delicious and freshly made, best Philly cheesteak I’ve ever had! The wings were so meaty and had great flavor as well. We appreciated how the staff helped us out with the orders and helping us choose what to try.“

“Was in the neighborhood and I stopped by. Italian beef sandwich is amazing. Loaded with beef. Only thing that happened was that I ordered an Italian combo and I got just a regular Italian beef. Giardiniera was not spicy at all and I do like spicy. Otherwise, will probably be back.Parking: There is a parking lot on the side of the building.“

“Great authentic middle eastern food. I tried the chicken kabob bowl. The chicken was very tender and everything was delicious. Perfect sized portion as well. The falafel is also delicious. Service is fast and organized. Support a family owned business!“

“The Steak sandwich is to die for, delicious! Good Cheeseburgers, everything is really tasty. Nice family run spot with amazing food. Don't over look this place, it's food is really good.Vegetarian options: No vegetarianDietary restrictions: Not here, this is tasty foodParking: You will find a spot on the streetKid-friendliness: No, it's take out basicallyWheelchair accessibility: Not accessible“

“2nd time coming here. Food is phenomenal. Never had chicken with honey butter or pimento cheese with fries. When you put the butter on the chicken, the melted butter, the crispy texture, and the juices of the chicken just melts in your mouth. As far as the pimento cheese goes, the sauce has a bit of a tomato hint blending in with the cheese when you have it with the fries.“

“I’m born and raised in Chicago and this was my first time at this place. Their beefs are good quite smaller than what I’ll get in the neighborhood restaurants but they’re good. Served with no cheese but you won’t miss it. I’ve went to this place 4/5 times since I found out about it. You won’t be “

“Lovely little restaurant with top quality food. My husband and I have been coming here for years. It's the "chipotle approach" to shawarma and falafel wraps and bowls, but the staff are always ready with recommendations and happy to answer questions. We love it, there's something for everyone. All of our friends we've brought here have requested to come again! Sam, the owner, is a wonderful person and remembers us by name. My only regret is finding out 7 years too late that they cater! Would have made our 2017 wedding even more magical.Vegetarian options: Falafel, all salads, grains, and toppings are vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Staff is knowledgeable and accommodating for dietary needs.Parking: Plenty of parking but the spaces are tight. Lunch rush is usually the busiest time.“

“This is an absolutely spectacular spot to stop. Quick service, terrific food and incredibly great prices. I wanted to get myself an italian beef while I was here in Chicago and Frannies helped me accomplish that goal in the best way possible. Thank you for the terrific experience and I will certainly be back.“

“Delicious menu and unique representation of Mediterranean food in Chicagoland.I personally think the space is small for family to comfortably eat but if you don’t mind then have at it. Bashka is a must have and rest is your choice! Definitely recommend!“

“I be doing doordash n uber eats, I've been getting orders from there for a while, today I decided to order me some food got me the steak jibarito that comes with arroz con gandules and some sauce on the side n let me sayyy it was delicious, I even got me the chicken empanada n I used the sauce from the jibarito on it n omgggg sooo good. I even got a Pina colada n omg heaven. And the service was awesome everyone so nice and also lots of things to look at while u wait they have a lil boutique. Totally recommend will be coming back“

“Bergen went above and beyond. She was super helpful and empathetic. My order wasn’t processed correctly online. She didn’t have to take my order, but she did. She is amazing. Every time I come in she is polite and helpful. Thank you Bergen.“

“I liked the hamburgers, they are delicious, they cook them right away, the delicious onion rings give you a very delicious dip.Parking: The parking lot is large and if you don't want to eat at the tables you can eat in your car or inside.“

“Just had a big baby double cheese burger, large dr. pepper, onion rings and sport peppers on side. the location wasn't busy and enjoyed the speedy service. they do take credit/debit cards for a 25 cents processing fee. Definitely recommend it.“

“Best Italian beef in the city. I come here because I was told they don’t dip the sausage in the Italian beef juice which is great because I want to enjoy an Italian beef without worrying about consuming pig juice.Quick friendly service, definitely worth trying if you are in the area.“

“I hadn't been here in about 15+ years. Finally came back. Ordered a sweet beef, hot beef, chicken tenders, & fries for $30. Everything was great! Prices are pretty low given the crazy inflation going on right now. Quick service. Will definitely be back“

“I tried two savory crepes and they were great. I'm a hungry guy and one crepe is a good amount of food for the price. There were two different veggie crepes on the menu, which I loved to see. There was at least one other that may be meatless, the mac n cheese crepe on special. The menu over all was extensive and fun to choose from. They had Deep River chips, which are excellent. Will definitely be back for more savory crepes and to try a sweet crepe. My one criticism is that despite eating in, our food was served on a paper plate and only plasticware was available. Eating a crepe with a plastic fork is a bit awkward. It would be nice if they had actual silverware when you're eating in.“

“Wow I don’t review often but to leave one here. I have lived in Albany Park for years and have driven or walked past this place lots. Saw a instagram by SuperGoode on it and thought I’ll give it a shot. It is phenomenal. Best burger in Albany Park, I will definitely be back.“

“Fry the coop easily has one of if not the BEST chicken sandwiches out there right now. The seasoned fries are also absolutely amazing. The reason I leave the three stars instead of five in service is because of how unfair the takeout is. SIDENOTE: I have no problems with the workers at all. These are the bags they are told to fill so they do it. The workers here are great people. I have come to this location for years (since roughly the second week of it’s opening) and the last few times I’ve ordered take out, the serving of fry’s has been SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than the amount of fries you get if you dine in. I get it, it’s just fries, BUT if I’m going to pay roughly eighteen dollars for the same meal I should receive the same amount someone who is dining in receives. The photos include ALL the fries that came with the order (I took the fries out of the bottom of the bag as well and put them in there).TL;DR: great food, takeout portion of fries is MUCH smaller yet still fully priced“

“The Best Filipino Food In The midwest And they always give US good portion And free sample To taste for next order Love The easy accommodation if you have a taste for pinakabet just Call them And they cook for you ❤️❤️❤️Love The kare kare And fresh Food every Day thanks Ruby Love your Food ❤️❤️❤️“

“Been going to Chickies since it was on 28th and Pulaski, love it, as good as when I was a kid. Everything is great here, Hotdogs, Beefs, Fries, and the Pan Pizza is delicious.Parking: Big lotKid-friendliness: Kids love the placeWheelchair accessibility: No problem“

“Delicious Better than most middle eastern food around. Bright clean looks like somewhere you might go in a beach. Usually there are Middle Easterners eating there. Ran out of vegetables for grilled veg platter today n it's delicious. Very simple decor and seating“

“Nice little neighborhood place. The hours are odd so you have to check if they are open. I think they close mon-wed. I found this place looking for queso birria tacos. For $15 you get 4 decent sized tacos with the consommé. Great meaty tacos, I'm a big guy and I usually could knock out 8-10 tacos. I could only eat 6 here. The guacamole was big enough for me and my buddy. They have a juice bar inside and we ordered off of the server's recommendation. She recommended a pineapple drink and it was solid. We ended up getting a second order of drinks for the road. They don't have parking but you should be able to find something across the street. Place is clean and the cook wore gloves. I appreciate when a place is clean and people are wearing gloves. The waitress/server was very helpful and had great recommendations. She was easy to talk to since I don't speak Spanish. There was a bunch of online orders and takeout which in my opinion is good. That means there's no old food, they sell it all and buy fresh. Bathrooms were clean. I noticed the table next to me ordered a latte and seen they had an espresso machine. I haven't tried the coffee so I can't talk about the quality. Just that they have an espresso machine. I like this place a lot. Very friendly staff, great food and great amount of food for the price. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you.“

“The best place to go for a quick sandwich after a night of drinking, or a quick no-frills lunch. The subs are great, the pizza puffs are heaven, and the cheese fries are amazing! How did I gain 20 pounds in 6 months?Parking: Depending on the time of day, the lot may be full, but there is street parking if the lot is full“

“A really great little place. My go-to for grilled burgers. If I had to say anything negative, maybe the sides of feta are a little small for the price. But I can always get that at the grocery store.It's somewhat greasy, good food when you have a taste for it.Dietary restrictions: I have a fish allergy, and I've never had a reaction from any of the food. So they do a good job keeping the fish/shrimp separate.“

“Went to Lulu's with family I had two Polish sausage meals they were cooked hot and fresh My other family member had a gyro sandwich that was delicious well proportioned.I look forward to coming back for a nice down-to-earth place if you have time ,I suggest you please stop by You won't regret it.“

“First time trying this awesome location! So happy I decided to give it a try. Yari was so kind and gave me great suggestions to choose from. I love that this is a family owned and ran business. The chicken was juicy, seasoned to perfection and the sides were great as well. Loved the broccoli and sweet potato Fries. The add on was the IPA beer that was a HIT (media naranja). Oh yeah the design in the store was so unique! I’ll def be back.“

“I went there today and I had to write a review. I found them on Google and live in a near by neighborhood. The food is delicious!!!! The restaurant was very clean and hand sanitizers were everywhere. The customer service was great!! I’m so glad I found them and don’t have to travel the city for jerk. Keep doing a great job!!!“

“First time here today, delicious burger ? I'm glad we chose here over a simple sandwich. I did see almost everyone either order a burger or beef. The char smell brought me in...I observed a lovely lady cooking sausage ? looked super delicious...May have to try that next time.“

“My names Moe, I love this place countless times they have shown there true colors. This is a real as it gets review. I live in the area been coming here for yearssssss. Last time I was leaving work and I lost my wallet. I was driving up to the resteraunt. I called and asked if they could accept cashapp. Sal told me to come on in and get him next time. What customer service. I’m coming in tomorrow for lunch that’s for sure. Could not recommend them more!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite order is the 4pc broast plate“

“Horrid! As a native Chicagoan I never expected to be disappointed by a neighbourhood hot dog stand. Yesterday, for the first time I went to Jr’s Red Hots. For starters they messed up the order of two hotdogs with fries. Instead we received two overcooked polish sausage with greasy fries. I couldn’t consume more than two bites of either. It was obvious the grill and oil from deep fryer aren’t routinely cleaned. Failed on a grand scale!!!! Never going back to Jr’s.“

“Thank you geos!!! I always get the rueben, I'm addicted to it now. I love the garlic butter fries and I usually sneak a few bites of my boyfriends gyro, always so delicious. He got the burger today and it was great!! Your service is always so friendly and I appreciate kindness and care you put into your restaurant!! My dog was so happy with the little treat too!!! Thank you again!“

“I stopped for lunch while I was in the area. I had the two hot dog special. The hot dogs were very good. The toppings were all right, could have used a little more. The dog only had one small piece of tomato.The fries could have been cooked a bit longer, but they were plentiful.There are about 5 tables and one that runs along the window.The people were friendly and helpful.I will return the next time I'm in the area.Bicycling: The streets are very busy and don't seem bicycle friendly. I did not see any outdoor seating.“

“Today’s experience is on 1/12/24 a Cold Saturday afternoon.Service was great (great as I even left a smal tip)Food was fastBread was FRESHFries were fresh and HOTClean bathroom and dining roomWorkers got along great and it showedWe liked it ALOT“

“I love their Gyros. I just wanted to say that I think it is insane that they have no menus at their place to take home with you. That is a great way to get continued customers. Also they only stay open until 9 pm. Many people get hungry for fast food later than that. Oh well, I think they lose business by doing those 2 things.“

“Best sub shop in the area. The deli meat and bread are super fresh. They give you double the meat and cheese you would get at a chain. The shop has a real personality to it and makes probably the best Italian sub I’ve ever had. Amazing experience overall will definitely come “

“Been coming here for years!! With new owners this place is still a gem great customer service very very nice staffI drive an hour just to come and eat my jumbo shrimp !! Always fresh they have much more to choose .. I recommend this place to anyone that love fresh hot delish yummy Shrimp and much more“

“Great place for great food. Arguably the best mom and pop shop around. I've gotten to try at least a quarter of the menu and everything Is tasty. They even serve soft serve ice cream! The one thing you can always expect is hot food fresh of the grill or out the fryer!Aside from great food. They also have great service. I once had an issue with an order and it was handled professionally. I have no complaints, just love for this gem of a restaurant!Will definitely keep coming back!“

“I come to this portillos every weekend and the food is consistently amazing! Always hot and fresh! But the real reason I'm reviewing is because the staff is so nice and amazing! Special thanks to Lalo in the drive through for always being so kind and cheerful!!!“

“Food was good but we drove a long way to eat there their seating inside is. Very limited. They had only like 10 tables for 2 that was disappointing and then their ice machine was broken for drinks. We did get one table in one room and the other couple we were with was in the other room.“

“The food is so delicious it hit the spot we are definitely coming back and it's every good size the French fries there so good we definitely coming back to Marco's restaurant we are in our last vacation and we wanted to try something new I really recommend to come this place“

“If you read any of the reviews for Al's Drive In online, people have a ton of nostalgia for this place. I find nostalgia for a restaurant can play a negative role for those who don't have the association, but that wasn't the case for me who only ate here for the first time today. The Chicago dog and super taco were solid but the combination fried rice was the hero for me. Never thought l'd find this kind of wok hei flavor from a Chicago Red Hots institution in Maywood, IL that would remind me so much of the fried rice I grew up with at my Chinese immigrant family's restaurant in Arizona. Honestly just throw in some bean sprouts and you'd have a 1:1 copy. I may not have the same nostalgia that a lot of the usuals have with Al's, but that familiar taste of home is so present in every bite of this fried rice. I'm immediately transported to teenage me devouring a large combination fried rice at my own family's restaurant after working a full day's 12hr shift in the summer and immediately passing out in my bed when I got home. I wish I had started coming here sooner.“

“Somewhat quiet place to get a meal. Tried their shakshuka and was pleasantly surprised with how good it tasted. The staff were incredibly hospitable and were very helpful with answering questions. Their house made jam was also amazing and went really well with the English muffin.“

“Updated review 4/16/2024:My previous review was a 1 star review based on unprofessional management. So far since then I haven't seen much hostility toward the employees unless it's from impatient customers who struggle to comprehend that they're not the only people waiting.Anyways, I've received exceptional service lately. Mainly from a very kind tall man with a beard and slightly longer hair. I wish I would've asked for his name.There's also another taller man who has a little stubble and glasses, he always greets me and calls me sir, which is cool because I'm actually transgender and I get a confidence boost each time I see him. Thank you. :)The food has improved as well, and their speed is top notch. I will admit Friday night was very busy BUT the employees handled it very well and professionally.Thank you for your hard work, guys. Anyone who says "fast food isn't hard work" is SO wrong. It's a very stressful environment and it's clear you have amazing employees who work extremely hard to keep the quality high and the wait time low. :)“

“Their ingredients and burgers are always fresh. Customer service is off the charts. I love eating the Culver's deluxe with a side of onion rings. And for free dessert I fill out a survey and get a scoop of custard (usually flavor of the day). Delish!“

“Classic Chicago hot dog stand with all of the standards I'd expect of such a place. Everything is char grilled, so don't go expecting steamed red hots.The location itself has limited seating inside. But there is a large patio outside, weather permitting.Absolute must try for any chicago hot dog lover.“

“For a first timer the food was good but I purchased the Italian beef combo and it good BUT my sausage was a bit charred on both ends and I had a couple of burnt fries as well but the food was overall good. The downside the cashier didn’t let me first my order she kept interrupting “

“this place is amazing!!! we got there probably 45 min before they closed and they still served us with a smile. we got superman, butter pecan, mint chocolate chip,and cappuccino crunch. oh and a pretzel with cheese, they had so much stuff to choose from we didnt know what to get. its almost like being at a carnival /icecream shop . JUST TRY IT YOU WILL BE HAPPY YOU DID!!!!!!Kid-friendliness: the also have icecream bar like a icecream truck would have . but there is so much to choose f“
