“Bro haha after getting some 🔥🔥 dogwalker pre rolls from next door then just saw this place on the way out and had to stop by I didn’t even have the munchies yet I just seen the sign. Then man the line was moving a bit too slow for my impatient self so I’m like man just go out and blaze one of these cones so I go out get blaaaaaaasted in like 5mins cause these were mini rolls then went back in and was looking at that menu and it was good man. So my turn to order I get the Tristian or whatever it’s the pesto pizza and I’m like yeah why not throw arugula on top after it’s done so they did it for me and then we got some cool looking sodas at the cash register. Wasn’t a long wait or a bad price at all we just chilled in the lobby there weren’t too many people in there anyway. Finally got my pizza and I could tell by the first bite it was going to be delicious. So I ate the whole thing happy as hell the entire time then I’m like dang bro I gotta get one to go so I got the same pizza only this time another gentleman made it and he was asking me what spice and whatever so I told him to just hook it up and then we just left but something came over me in the car and I just had to take a peak of the pizza. So I ended up eating the whole thing before I even got home haha my family was piiiissed showing up with an empty pizza box. Oh and they gave me a coloring sheet and crayon so I could draw and they said they liked my coloring. Great people and great food I will definitely come back here every time I get my stuff from the neighbors. Thank you again 😛“

“If I could give Flor 10 stars for customer service I would. I go to McDonald’s more times than I’d like to admit, but anytime Flor has taken my order she’s always been super nice & professional. It’s employees like her that deserve the raises & promotions. Overall this specific McDonald’s location has professional & friendly employees! Great experience everytime! 100/100!“

“Typical Taco Bell. I like the Chicken Quesadilla. Usually quick. Sometimes there are a lot of pending orders for pickup and their drive through is also busy. Sometimes it may take time for the orders to be served. Due to the delay one time they gave me some burritos (on the house) but I had to refuse it as I do not eat beef?

Parking: No reason to worry about parking at this location.“

“ 5 ⭐Better than Culvers and they have to compete with McDonald's next door. The burgers have really good flavor, a little bit of a longer wait because they are cooking them on the griddle when you order. Allow for a little extra time when you order. Of course the line is not as long as McDonald's so you're probably out much quicker. The food is always fresh and hot.

Vegetarian options: Salads and baked potatoes

Dietary restrictions: Ask

Parking: Lots

Kid-friendliness: Yes high chairs

“In general, Mexican food is tasty, and here it is still tasty, but in particular in this establishment they roast the chicken and serve it with the feathers, you can even see the chicken roasting even with the feathers in the kitchen, a huge point to improve. They must improve hygiene and keep tables clean for customers“

“Order# 36 I love this location! Its located in my neighborhood so its super convenient. Especially with the app now you can order online pickup and go. The staff is great there. My younger brother usto work there. Unfortunately now they are understaffed i think i saw a total of 3 employees just now 😳 sandy and the crew are really holding it down. Even so i still got my order in a timely manner and they even offered to bring it up to my car but i didnt want to bring them out into the cold. Out of all the burger kings in waukegan this and the greenbay location are the best. Thanks Sandy for yet another positive experience.“

“I usto leave this location as a last resort due to the rude, condescending service here but i have to say.. they have hired new help and it is wwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. My biggest complaint aside from food prep was the fact they issued sauce packs like Auschwitz limited rations. Literally 1 sauce pack for a number 9 and a chalupa on the side🤦🏽‍♂️ and thats if they chose to give you sauce. When you ask for more they give it to you one at a time and cut you off at 3. Not for the past few months! CHRISTIAN gave me one of the best drive through experiences in a while. I spent no more than 3 minutes from order to pickup! No hassle with sauces and he was very pleasant and professional. What a breath of fresh air considering this can't be said from many establishments in the area. Customer service is an antiquated tale now in days. I just wanted to take the time out and recognize christian for his outstanding customer 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.“
