50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near South Barrington

“Excellent fresh made sandwiches and the chili was also very good. Very friendly and accommodating people behind the counter. Will definitely return.“

“Friendly and fast service“

“GrubHub left me hanging and cancelled my order without any meaningful explanation. Since I was still hungry and wanted dinner, I called the store directly. Boy am I glad I did! The manager took my call and commiserated with me a bit and suggested that I place my order directly with them via their website. Since I am just across the parking lot and can't leave my location (I was running out of time for my lunch), he graciously offered to run my order to me personally. JC showed up a matter of minutes later with my extremely tasty food and a smile!. I love their Lobster Bisque soup and mine was still nice and hot. Bonus... While on the website, I registered for the Cafe Zupas loyalty program and got a Free beverage! And, even though I have a discount on GH from my Amazon Prime account, my bill was nearly $8 cheaper! Overall, my experience today with Cafe Zupas Schaumburg has been stellar and I'll be ordering from them (directly, no more GrubHub) frequently and encouraging my coworkers and clients to do the same. Now where is that chocolate covered strawberry for my dessert. Yummy!“

“Great selection of fast foods. Fast, friendly service. Reasonable prices and the best hot Dogs in the whole Universe!“

“Best Subway I’ve ever been to. No joke! When I saw the 4.8 rating I assumed it was probably inaccurate or pumped up with fake reviews. Definitely not the case here. This is exactly how a restaurant should be ran. Extremely friendly staff, fresh food, and very clean environment.

They handled all my pain in the a$$ requests well…with a smile even. I always make sure to tip because of this.

Thanks guys! Keep up the great work and service!“

“Just had the best experience eating at popeyes today with my son. staff was great, food was so fresh and delicious. I don't usually choose popeyes when i come out to eat, but I definitely will be coming back way more often! If you haven't tried their nuggets, do it now!“

“It's your traditional Chicago-style hot dog venue I won't call it a stand cuz it is Brick and Mortar not a trailer like Portillo started in in Villa Park. The hot dogs are exactly the same cuz they're using Vienna skin on dogs so when you bite it you get that Crunch and that loud snap make you get all warm and fuzzy inside french fries are identical“

“I absolutely love having this boba shop so close to our home! I’ve been here a couple of times now, and Beck and Asem have always been so kind, genuine, and welcoming. You can really tell that they care about their customers and genuinely want you to enjoy your drink. They even take the time to ask if you like it and make sure you’re happy with it, which I really appreciate.

It’s also so nice to have a small, friendly local place within walking distance. I’ve really enjoyed my visits here, and the people who work here make the experience even better. They’re both such lovely people, and I’m happy to support them. Highly recommend stopping by! 🧋❤“

“There food AMAZING service takes kinda long time to make food Atmosphere AMAZING but please make your TV louder
This is Halal certified Big Bird is the best and french frices

Parking: You have SO MUCH PARKING

Kid-friendliness: There food is perfect for kids to eat just PERFECT“

“I love Cane’s ! I would super love them if they switched to tallow instead of seed oils. Seed oils are not healthy and it would be excellent if Cane’s made the change to lead by example so others would make the change too.“

“Hot dog had a rich Smokey flavor that isn’t your usual dog. All of the Chicago fixings makes this a great and unusual Chicago dog. Special Tuesday price made it even better! I have gone to other locations and wasn’t impressed. This location changed my mind about the Beef Shack! Well worth the visit even at full price!“

“Massive Doener with the REAL Fladenbrot (type of flatbread) just like in Germany!! Super yummy Garlic sauce and the Pommes (French Fries) are phenomenal - try it like the Germans do in Red (ketchup) & White (mayo). Owners are amazing, super friendly and just great to talk to (for me in German = extra treat 🥰) Go and check it out - you won't be disappointed and will go back for more 😉“

“Better quality for the price than Canes. A variety of sauces to choose from and lots of options for sides. Dining area is clean and the free ice cream cones is a fun touch.

Chicken tenders are large, very tender, and have a very thin breading for those that prefer that. Will be back to try their other offerings.“

“Great food. One of my favorite places best sandwich is 5 on rosemary bread.“

“I have been going there for many years . They treat you like family. I Highley recommended. Great food.“

“The people working are very nice, and they will make whatever you want if they have the ingredients. Ankit the owner is very community oriented. every time I walk in there I'm just visiting some friends.“

“****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.“

“Typical fried chicken, fish, shrimp, and fries place. Had the bone in wings and shrimp combo meal. This place seems to cater to takeout but has a few places to sit including outside. Wings were good size, the shrimp medium size. The parmesan sauce was salty as was the lemon pepper rub on the shrimp. The chicken without the sauce was not salty and tasted good. The fries were not salty so I think it was the sauces. The meal was served hot and service was excellent. Everything seems to be cooked as needed so keep in mind that it might take 15 minutes to get your meal.“

“Best portillos & barnellis in the Chicagoland area, hands down. Everything’s superb. Beefs, pasta, burgers, salads, etc. clean inside and friendly staff.“

“Their custard is great! Loved the chocolate and toffee.“

“Yummy Impossible Sliders. If I still ate meat (like in the 80’s), I would be eating the regular sliders.“

“Kooker’s is my favorite lunch time spot when I’m at the office for the day. They make their own natural cut fries that I love cooked well done. They have daily specials that are great deals, although all of their prices are fair. They have limited seating, but you can call ahead and pick up an order and I think they do delivery. When there, make sure you look at the specialty board that is to the right of the register. There you will find items that are not on the regular menu. Today I had the poutine with pulled pork—amazing. I highly recommend this locally-owned burger (and a lot more) joint.“

“I made a big order with many different items, Grando’s was quick making our order and the food was AMAZING! This is exactly the good ol’ chicago style food we want when we come to town! Will be back!“

“I normally don’t visit zupas due to a bad experience in this past at a different location but I decided to try it again the other day and this very sweet girl at the front greeted and helped me decide what i wanted, her name was lilly and she made me feel welcome. Not only that but i proceeded to order the turkey bacon avacado sandwich and it was great. Definitely Remedied my last experience.“

“reasonable for the pasta!“

“Really enjoyed my visit to this Subway! From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. The store was clean and well organized, and everything looked fresh and nicely prepared. My sandwich was made exactly the way I wanted, and the ingredients tasted fresh and delicious.

I really appreciate the attention to detail and the great customer service. It’s not always easy to find a place that consistently provides good food, cleanliness, and friendly service all together. This location definitely made a great impression on me. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend this Subway to anyone looking for a fresh and quick meal!“

“Glad you’re changing to Coke products. My family of 5, prefer coke over Pepsi. Pepsi is too sweet.“

“Always a great experience at the Crystal Lake CFA! Recently placed a catering order - everything was delicious, hot, ready on time and, as always, the staff were wonderful!“

“Standard Culvers. Nothing special about this location. Portions are ok. Average wait time at drive thru.“

“Great food! I’ll be there many more times“

“always busy, friendly staff and good food“

“Everything tasted great tonight but for some reason the bun just fell apart...“

“Food was good and because they forgot my shake homie hooked it up with a large, the review if you you my booii“

“Fresh and delicious food. Nice to have a halal restaurant in Palatine.“

“Everything is perfection here. I've never had an issue with their food or service. In fact, I've always been delighted by how nice the employees are. Really, folks, how hard is that? Thank you for actually caring about your customers. The food options are great & they actually taste good! Again, why is that so difficult for other businesses? Love them!“

“They have outstanding sandwiches. #18 is our favorite and is great as a salad, too, but you really can't go wrong. Everything is consistently delicious, high quality, and priced well!“

“Extremely great service and friendly staff! Food was prepared quickly and tasted great. Would recommend as a nice evening out with family when in the area.“

“We love Egg Harbor for the food, the service and the pleasant, bright interior. But please!! Bring back your Jump Start coffee!! 😋 That has always been one of the draws for me and I was so disappointed to hear it was not available any longer due to not having Kerry Gold butter or Coconut Oil. 😲😦“

“great place to hang out at“

“Franky’s is great, good food, fast service. Chicago dog!“

“My 2 1/2 year old grandson and I had lunch there today. The staff treated us with kindness and good service! We also enjoyed the beautiful fish pond!“

“This was my first time visiting this place. I must say, The customer service, food, and atmosphere was way above what I was expecting. I usually do not like custard ice cream(I have tried 4 places before here), my partner said just try it. But before we finished our food, I was given a sample and I loved it. I don't know what they do differently. But it was excellent. I'm definitely making sure when I visit again this Culver's will be my first stop for food.“

“ordered small concrete mixer.. asked for chocolate custard with Reese's peanut butter cups but received a medium size cup of plain custard“

“Yummy 😋 Good ice cream 🍦“

“Great service. Delicious food.“

“while they usually do great I ordered 2 of the big Kahana tubs today. I've never had one but as the sandwich and pictures show, it's not supposed to have lettuce. I had half my teeth removed a few weeks ago and lettuce is just not doable for me. highly disappointed.“

“Great service, and then some extra friendliness“

“Very good, better than any other fast food options. Friendly staff always willing to help and people who enjoy cooking. 1 star reviews can’t get much out of this place if they come in with a bad attitude. Great alternative for a quick lunch. Really good.“

“Love coming here when I’m in town“

“Tried this place for the first and definitely not last time on 1/4 (Orland Park location). Absolutely delicious! The person taking orders was so helpful and patient with our many questions. Service was quick and everything was so flavorful and cooked perfectly.“
