50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Lake Barrington

“We went to Panini Bar, as we had a craving for a panini this afternoon and we googled “panini near me”. This place came up. We ordered avocado panini (vegetarian) and Turkey pesto panini. Both were REALLY REALLY tasty. Avocado panini had a bit of spaciness to it (which I loved). Turkey panini was absolutely delicious with basil pesto. All ingredients were fresh and panini was nice and crispy. We rally enjoyed our food. The only thing we didn’t realize is that this is a deli, not a cafe. So there is no opportunity for dine-in. But we found a couple benches outside and had a nice picnic on a bench. Overall, great sandwich take-out place! Service was great too, very nice and polite.“

“Ali always is kind to me and always recognizes me, he throws in free food occasionally and it is greatly appreciated, sometimes i don’t get sporks for my mac but this is the only popeyes that cooks the macaroni good and always is a great experience“

“This spot is a gem. Don't let it die Palatine. 20 minutes from NW Chicago. I found out about it from an Instagram food reviewer. Burger and shake were great. Open late on weekends.Parking: 12+ spots and HandicapWheelchair accessibility: Ramps and Handicap parking“

“There is a reason the line is always long here, the ice cream is amazing and it is affordable for the whole family. It may take you a few visits to perfect your order, but it is well worth it. I always go for the PB Sundae with chocolate ice cream.“

“First time here and the setting was definitely a vibe. Very clean and service was amazing. I got the Shrimp and Tender combo. The shrimp size and flavor was a 10/10 the tenders was good as well. I cant remember the sauce name, however. It was Spicy Fingers very own and it was full of so much flavor. Mmm coming back soon for sure.“

“For $40 we got a good amount of delicious food! The #15 tuna was a bit dry but tasty! You definitely taste the fish and it was pretty fresh! Fries were perfectly made and my wife said the #15 was okay. We didn't realize the potato salad was pretty small for $2.00 but it was packed with flavour. Would come again if I was craving subs while in the area.“

“So much sauce I almost got lost in the sauce! I'm a saucy gentleman but gosh darn was this a LOT of sauce. You see, some say I'm a messy eater...guilty as charged. I go full sloppy toppy on salads. I don't hold back and as you can tell from my pic, I did NOT hold back. That salad tasted good and so did the sauce. Could have done without the dirty looks from the staff. Sorry not all of us are perfect clean eaters. I'm a MAN and I make messes when I eat, besides, next time don't honor my request of that much sauce. Clearly not my fault they allowed for that.“

“This was my first time come here and the Fratellos subs and fries were amazing the sub was actually the best sub sandwich I have had in a while make sure to get extra peppers the customer service was great as well very adorable and family friendly“

“Today we were in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. It has been a year since we left a review. The dining room is the same and very clean! The person who took our order was really nice and professional as always! I ordered the 1/2 slab of ribs it came with a side salad, a 6" piece of corn on the cob, and fries which I upgraded to the baked potato for $1 more. The baked potato was quartered and a huge potion size so definitely worth the extra $1. The 1/2 slab of ribs had about 7 bones... so you got a decent amount! My husband ordered the Italian beef and added Provolone cheese for 65 cents which was well worth it! I posted a video for each of our food items. We loved our food and would definitely order it again!“

“I love the food. It's my first time to order food from here using UberEats and I was so I did. I told my co-workers about my experience. Will definitely order again :)“

Decor is a little more comfortable than your average fast food shop.Very busy and the tables available were dirty.Parking: Has a good amount of spots. A couple handicap spots and a few upfront spots for takeout are available.Wheelchair accessibility: The business had accessibility for wheelchairs.“

“Classic Chicago style hot dog/gyro spot. Good food. Fast customer service. Not a lot of room to sit and eat but I think that's how most of these type of restaurants are. Overall recommend trying it if you enjoy any of those classic chicago foods.“

“Place is always spotless clean and staff friendly. Just be careful, they do NOT accept cyber/digital/email coupons only tranditional paper couponsParking: Watch carefully for the correct driveway. There are multiple small strips here, and the parking lots do not interconnect“

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

“I came here to visit a friend on a Wednesday. We got seated right away. I've been to other Egg Harbor locations, but not this one. It has the same decor and vibes as the other locations. I got the San Antonio Skillet, which was great, but I wasn't super full afterward. Also, our server did not come to pick up our check after a while, so we had to go to the front and pay. Overall not a bad experience.“

“The order was brought quickly. My husband loves to order fish here. The staff is very friendly. Everyone is good-natured. I like this kind of service. The only negative is the constant smell of fried meat and fish in the room, probably the air hoods need to be “

“Recently went to the Daddy Daughter Date night they set up. IT WAS ABOVE AND BEYOND AMAZING! I thought it was going to be a nice little reserved set up so we could eat and have some fun but they did what chick-fil-a does and made it INCREDIBLE. They had actual Unicorns, fairies and mascots there and activities for the kids. (they ran it very efficiently as well) As always, the service and the food was great too. Very happy with the night and I will absolutely sign up again.“

“Yolanda is the best server one can have. Very happy to see her every Wednesday night.“

“This place is awesome! Best gyro and wraps in town. Great prices as well for the quality of the food. The food is made fresh every time and comes out delicious. The people who work here are honest and actually care about your experience. I come back frequently! ???“

“Usually great service and people, but you guys missed the mark tonight. The delivery person outside tried to give me at least 3 different orders that weren’t ours, and when we got home the chicken nuggets were missing the sauce, and the chili was missing the toppings and sour cream. Not a great outing tonight.“

“Breaking Bread is the perfect local spot to get some of the best food in Cary. It's very clear the folks there care very much and have a passion for what they do. Every visit is extremely enjoyable, as the staff are always friendly, and the food is always delicious. I can't recommend Breaking Bread enough, as it is more than worth the price. One of the best local spots I know.Parking: As a part of the Cary Square Mall, there is plenty of free parking available close to the store.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly with an appropriate atmosphere and menu options kids will love.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and wheelchair ramps are available.“

“Dairy Queen's ice cream is awesome. Got a cookie dough blizzard with extra cookie dough and a churro dipped ice cream cone and they were great. Great service there too. Also make sure you bring money smaller than a twenty dollar bill. There's a sign on the window that says to use small bills only.“

“Parking: Available at lunchtime.Kid-friendliness: The mini beef or chicken sandwiches would be good for a kids lunch. Treating the kids to a milkshake will make them very happy. Regular ice cream for the shakes are blended not frozen dairy products.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs are acceptable to entering, eating and leaving the facility.“

“Culver's in FRG is always clean, quick and friendly, and the food is always hot and fresh. Always a good experience and the staff is happy to accommodate and fix any mistakes if they happen.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options and non-meat mealsParking: Large free parking lot with handicap spots near the front door.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, has a kids menu and meals for a variety of prices.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramps and spots are available.“

“We used this location as a meeting spot to interview a potential wedding planner. Very clean and quiet Culver's restaurant. The restaurant staff was not quite as accommodating as the Waukegan-Fountain Square location, but we received what we ordered and enjoyed our time there.“

“Walking into Luke's beef for the first time, I did not know what to expect. When that first taste of burger touched my tongue, I saw everything. All the answers of life were clear to me. People say you can't buy happiness, I disagree. For less than 15 bucks you can buy a burger from Luke's beef which is the equivalent to heaven on earth.“

“Awesome food! Amazing service! The employees there were so nice and were so on top of it on such a busy day.“

“Great food and the nicest people working to serve the best customer service! We will be ordering again in the future!“

“First I wanna say I normally don't write reviews but today felt needed. I stopped into this mod location and I had the best experience of my life at this location. First I was greeted by a young man named Mathew he was nothing but helpful and was also very charming. After he took my order another young man named randy made my pizza lickady split. I would 100% recommend this mod. Best experience I have ever had at a fast food restaurant .“

“I was here with my daughter for dinner one night. My chicken sandwich was rubbery. It didn’t have a good texture to it at all. I’m not sure why, but it’s never happened before here. The rest of the meals were great. We are always greeted with a smile and with friendliness. An older gentleman brought our food out to our car. He was very sweet. I didn’t catch his name tag, but we liked him a lot.“

“The workers are very nice. The service is fast and they usually get everything right. The tacos taste great.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it's wheelchair accessible I also have to put this in it feels like the workers really want to be there and really want to work“

“This is an amazing sandwich shop. Nice prices for the amount of food you get, but the bottled drinks are a bit expensive, but chips are a decent deal. Workers seemed really nice, and they make sure you get what you ordered. Lots of options and the food there is absolutely delicious. I'd definitely come back another time!Dietary restrictions: There are options for gluten-free.Parking: There are a number of spots since it is a small restaurant, so it is fairly easy to park and go inside.Kid-friendliness: It is all alcohol free, and has an outdoor seating area where kids can play a little bit. It's very kid friendly and nice. There is also a kids' menu section. The sizes for kids' meals are nicely portioned and have plenty of food to eat for them! I see kids in the Potbelly when I go in, and they seem to enjoy it.Wheelchair accessibility: There is lots of wheelchair accessibility including no stairs ty get inside, and there is a small button you can press for assistance that is by the cash register.“

“very friendly fast service, nice atmosphere and always very clean place, food is always great.“

“Prices are NUTS, but this a great burger. Solid location too, pretty timely too, the majority of experiences I’ve had here have been very satisfying. Honestly speaking, 5 Guys in general is just one of the best burgers you can get around, even though it’s a chain. Honestly, if they dropped the price a bit I’d be here ALL the time“

“Every thing in this place is so good, the food was delicious and fresh, the staff were so friendly and nice.The place was so clean, the tables, the floor and the food trays .the bathroom was so clean.I enjoyed eating there, I tried new item ( buffalo wrap) was good but small.Overall one of the best locations of BK“

“Very good inexpensive food. The service was great, the guy was extremely educated about his job and extremely honest. The ambiance of the restaurant was very classic and calm and there was nice music with a view of IL 120. During my order the guy accidentally clicked 2 Italian beefs and before giving the food he simple apologized and gave the money back for the extra sandwich. Very respectful.“

“I always go to this Subway because they remember my order and my name every time I go in. The owners do a great job of keeping the restaurant clean. The veggies are always fresh as well as the bread. This location is much better than the one in Cary.“

“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.“

“The food and custard are the best at Culver's“

“I don’t often leave reviews on restaurants, especially chains, but I feel the need to today. As I was in the dining room waiting for my food Tuesday evening, one of the workers appeared to have had a medical episode and seemed to have collapsed. I have to commend the staff and particularly the managers for their quick response and handling of the situation. I believe they stopped taking orders so all employees would be available to help if need be. I don’t know what the policy is on responding to an emergency but the staff deserves more than a pat on the back for their responsiveness and their very clear concern, they probably saved that kids life. Kudos to them.“

“I saw a BOGO deal online for blizzards if you ordered using the app but couldn't figured out how to get the deal. I went to dairy queen in Algonquin off main Street and the girl working the register helped me figure it out. She was so warm and welcoming and friendly and really made the experience great!“

“Best Subway ever! Sandwich makers know their craft and even though this corporate location is farther than others, I make the drive for the outstanding service. I have ordered there many times and have yet to be disappointed. Sandwiches are consistent and well crafted. I highly recommend this Subway amongst the sea of mediocre locations, this one really stands out and all other stores should follow their lead. I always order through the app and sandwiches are always on time and waiting for me. Sum it up in 3 words, Yummy yummy yummy!“

“Haven't had Jersey Mike's in a while and they did not disappoint. I got the Philly cheese with lettuce, tomatoes, Mayo, pickles and banana peppers on cheese bread. It was the best and I will be back soon. Very fresh food with a clean environment and great staff.Dietary restrictions: They now offer gluten free bread for their subs which is a plus. Most places don't have gluten free bread and this is a plus you just don't know until you ask.“

“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.“

“My good friend Maureen threw a party here for her granddaughter’s 9th birthday a few weeks ago and the owner/manager Selena went above and beyond to make her day special! She set up tables and extra crowns. There was Halloween coloring sheets for the kids and she made ordering meals and getting drinks for a party of 13 easy!“

“best gyros! fries changed over the years, they soak up too much oil.“

“Very good inexpensive food. The service was great, the guy was extremely educated about his job and extremely honest. The ambiance of the restaurant was very classic and calm and there was nice music with a view of IL 120. During my order the guy accidentally clicked 2 Italian beefs and before giving the food he simple apologized and gave the money back for the extra sandwich. Very respectful.“

“Always friendly service and food made as we like to order. This BK has always been great! The last time we were there, I noticed how carefully they put together the sandwiches, and see that other reviewers make mention as well. This is not something you experience everywhere. Keep up the great work!For negative reviewers, small inconveniences are part of life. You can't say that every meal you've made came out perfect, or that you tell yourself to hurry up if you're cooking too slow. If your order is wrong, kindly let them get it right for you!“
