“Great Managers and employees, friendly service����“

“My daughter is not a burger person , Boba Burger is one of her favorite places to eat!!! #Makayla from Chicago PD“

“Small and mighty. Had a fantastic bacon cheese burger and fries! Much needed in our neighborhood. My new spot.“

“Been coming here since I was a kid! I moved up north and haven’t been back in years and as God as my witness it tastes like I never left. Thank you for the nostalgia!“

“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.“

“I have ordered from here before and really enjoyed the food. I accidentally placed another order twice today and they called me immediately to rectify the situation. I was a general manager of restaurants for 21 years and this was exceptional customer service when a lot of places would have just taken my money. I really appreciate the extra mile and it's because of situations like this that make me a repeat customer. I will be back and if you haven't tried their pizza, you should!“

“Tried "Smash It" today, and it definitely lived up to its name! The moment I walked in, the aroma of sizzling patties and fresh buns had me hooked. The burgers were the perfect blend of crispy edges and juicy interiors. Their "Smash it double cheese burger " was a game-changer—simple yet packed with flavor. If you’re on the hunt for a burger that’s both nostalgic and innovative, "Smash It" should be your next stop. ?“

“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.“

“Great tasting Zabiha Halal food. We ordered the Gyros sandwich, Chili Cheese Dog, and Spicy crispy Chicken Sandwhich.

Zaid (owner) is polite and service was fast. Highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: All Zabiha Halal“

“Small, clean location with a small bar. Looks like it's set up for karaoke too. The gentleman who took my order was very polite. He also helped in the kitchen. The menu featured Korean and American food.I wanted wings but I had chicken twice the day before so I went with the Kicken Burger with bacon instead. It was $16 for a combo, which seems a little high but the time I spend in the area the more I learn it's about average.I got to watch them cook the burger patties on the flat top and then give them a nice char grill. It was huge, almost overpowered by all of the toppings. A big slice of grilled onion, a hunk of tomato, lettuce, bacon... I had to remove some of it to enjoy the burger.The burger itself was well seasoned and tasty with a grilled bun and good sauce. Yes, the sauce was kickin' it a little bit.It came with standard crinkle fries but they were crisp and there were lots of them. More than I could finish.“

“Delicious burgers. Personally don’t like the fact that I can’t order from a person anymore even when standing in the restaurant. Will revisit if they ever start functioning normally again.“

“Love the food and there open late!!“

“Hey my Chicago peeps you all have to go by SMASHBUGER at 4709 west foster and say HI to two of the greatest managers in town Mrs Genesis. And Mrs Dee Dee. For the freshest and I mean the freshest Smashburger this side of town tell them the BIG O SENT YOU ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😎 Guy’s“

“Today was my first time trying this place and I was impressed with my big and delicious Merkts cheeseburger and waffle fries. I'm definitely going back to try other things. The staff was very friendly and helpful, too. I was too hungry to remember to take pics.“

“First , the smoke and aroma comin’ out the roof exhaust pipes . Lol 😛 Known for their hamburgers , dogs , apparently everything else on their menu is good . Being a member of Chicago Italian Beefs fB page , I just HAD to try theirs . Pretty darn good ! 9.0/10 Sweet n hot , dipped , nice crinkly fries 🍟 comin’ for da ride , and a tamale 🫔 to wash it down . Nice job guys at the PP in Des Plaines !!!“

“Made fresh to order. I’ve tried plenty of their menu items and enjoyed everything!“

“Best gyros ever“

“Budacki's is a classic neighborhood stop for fast eats. It boasts a broad menu of comfort food, from Polish dogs Chicago-style to gyros and Korean fare. It's not a large or contemporary space, but around rush hour, you'll find it full of regulars from blue and white collar workers to young families and school kids. If you're visiting, there are other spots that do something similar. But if you're new to the neighborhood, be sure to make the trip, and you'll easily find yourself a regular too.“

“I had to try it today before going back to FL delicious 😋.“

“Such a great place and lovely staff! We got the BWB Smash Burger, Beyond Meat Burger (always a treat to find good vegetarian options), fries and a traditional chocolate malt and everything was delicious, good quality and service was impeccable. Really lovely and friendly staff. Will be making this a regular place to eat for sure :)“

“Great first experience. Love the smash style burger and toppings. A+.“

“The staff was very friendly and polite. As for the burgers, I really liked one called something like the Chicken California. Also, there’s a promotion where if you bring a receipt, you get the second one for free. I really like that place.“

“I got the combination plate, it was a lot of food and everything was 🔥 they also gave me a scoop of hummus to try which was also good“

“Love this place. I've been here a few times. The hot chicken sandwich, nachos, and fries are always great. This most recent visit I tried a double smashburger with smash peppers, spicy chopped cheese, and onion rings. The burger was probably the best smashburger I ever had, the beef and bun tasted really fresh, burger patties were crispy and seasoned, and the sauce went really well with it. The chopped cheese was really good, and onion rings were crispy, hot, and seasoned. Highly recommend this place. Everything I've had there is good.“

“🔥 Highly Recommended! Flame On Peri Peri is hands down one of the best spots for flavorful, juicy peri peri chicken! The spice levels are just right, the portions are generous, and the service is fast and friendly. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or dining with family, this place never disappoints. Don’t miss the loaded fries and their signature sauces — 10/10!“

“Best burgers in the area!“

“We've known about Elephant & Vine for a while and just got around to eating there. It was super yummy. The menu is limited but the food is great. I had the mammoth burger. The Elephant sauce was the star for sure. My honey had the Korean BBQ chicken sandwich which was amazing. He definitely ordered better. We also had the buffalo cauliflower wings. The sauce was great not too spicy, very smooth. The ambiance was nice, modern but welcoming. The service was also great. Our order came out quickly so the fries and tots were warm and crispy. We will be back for sure.“

“Great food! fast service for carryout!“

“The food was incredible! Best ive had in a while. We got the mixed plater, it comes with rice grilled chicken and kabob. The chicken was very Juicy and the flavors were spot on. Also got some appetizers, the baba ganoush was so flavorful and very delicious. The service was outstanding! Highly recommend 10/10“

“The chicken kabob dinner is a must-try when really hungry, and the grilled chicken pita is a go-to for a quick meal!“

“I have never left a review until this moment. Pls go to this restaurant. I had the chicken taco meal and my partner had the pastor tacos special. Very well priced and amazing food. All of the salsas were especially delicious. The staff are delightful. My belly is full and my brain is happy.“

“Fast and delicious as always 💯“

“A nice little fast food joint off of Dempster and Gross Point Rd. They serve up lots of good and intetesting pizza, wraps, burgers and more. All of their food is Zabiha halal certified.

Keep in mind there are no tables to eat inside, this is a takeout/carryout only place.

I recommend Chicken 65 wrap, Malai Chicken wrap, and Meat Lovers pizza.“

“Good clean burgers that don’t leave you feeling dirty after eating them, with a great selection and great prices it’s satisfaction guaranteed.“

“This restaurant is really outstanding and really great for the image of Evanston's southern end. The food is fantastic and I very much enjoy everything from the Bacon Temptation Omelette to the Spicy Poblano Omelette to the Crispy Chicken Sandwich to the Cowboy Burger. All of the food is fabulous and very well prepared, the variety is wonderful, and the coffee is always fresh. And above all, Ivan and the waitstaff provide customer service that's 'above and beyond' in every way. They're very kind, compassionate, efficient, and accomodating to everybody who comes into the establishment. Keep up the great work!“

“This is my first time at this restaurant, and I was told it's good. So far, the Chicken Tender Lunch Special I ordered is great.“

“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“

“My friends and I, had breakfast here today and the service was awesome. I was seated quickly, and had many items, to choose from on their menu. The waiter was super nice and friendly and checked on us a few times to see if we needed anything. The ambiance was great, the food was fresh and a lot of it. I took my leftovers home. Thank you Dem and staff for a GREAT service. Take care“

“A cost-effective hamburger restaurant. I ordered a 1/3 double burger and a 1/2 angus burger out of the combo, and it was juicy and had a lot of cheese and meat flavor. The fries are freshly fried and crispy, and the unique seasoning gives them an appropriate salty taste, making them delicious to eat.“

“I recommend the Vegetable and FuFu“

“Came in around midnight and tried this place for the first time. I got the grilled chicken rice bowl and it was delicious - it had that real authentic taste. The flavor on the mango habanero wings were amazing, sweat and not too spicy. I will be coming back to try the Philly cheese steak.“

“I came for a drink but left impressed with the food.“

“I'm so thrilled this spot never closed! It has the most friendly staff and great soft serve that suits me and mine. Our family loves to stop here on the way out of town, and it is always packed! I think the parking is weird but because the staff is quick, we don't wait long.
Again, thanks for never closing over all these years!“

“Thought I was going to my favorite burger joint Meatheads and was surprised to discover Epic burger in its place. Although the burger was great, the fries were very disappointing. .

In my judgement the fresh cut fries meathead served were far better than the lightly batter ones they’re serving now. I detest battered fries and pray they go back to fresh cut non battered fries like Meathead served

Very disappointing as Meatheads fresh cut fries were far superior. Too bad as I may not be coming back any time soon“

“The best burgers, hotdogs and those fabulous fresh cut fries!“

“1st time trying this place in Des Plaines and I must say that the bumper fries, bumper chicago style hotdog, chicken tenders with the honey mustard sauce which was great paired together and the bumper burger was all amazing 😋 👌 Definitely a must try🙌 I also like that it's all Halal meat so it's never frozen always fresh ❤️“

“Great service and friendly people. Been on my list for ages!“

“Erin was our server and was awesome. The chicken sandwich I had was amazing. The Mexican corn side was also amazing. My father had a burger which was huge and he said delicious. I will definitely come back again.“
