Fast Food Restaurants near River Forest

“I think this is one of the better McD’s around. I have received the wrong order a few times in the drive through which is disappointing. I tend to go in now and the problem is solved but i know that’s not for everyone. It’s also clean. I would go here, just check your order before you leave the parking lot.“

“Gene and Jude's is my preferred destination for Vienna hotdogs. I typically opt for mine plain with a double dog, and it consistently meets the expectations of both myself and my family. I've also tried their tamales, which are of high quality. The popularity of this establishment is evident from the long lines often seen outside. The employees are courteous and welcoming. I highly recommend this establishment and believe you will enjoy it as well.“

“Juiciest burger in Illinois! I've never been to Au Cheval, but several people have told me that paradise pups burger tops Cheval. The bun is tasty, patties are fresh, and the sauce is out of this world. Parking is a bit cramped and be prepared to wait but these burgers are WORTH 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“

“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.“

“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 “

“I’m OBSESSED!!!! Food is 10/10 & so is the service. The staff always greets you as soon as you come in and there is always great Kpop music videos playing while you enjoy your meal. The food is so yummy, definitely coming back ? (I ordered the rosé cup-bokki, original Korean corn dog, and the yuja ade. It was so good, my toes were literally curling every bite and sip I took of my food) <3“

“The batter is unbelievable! It is fluffy and tasty. The chicken is perfectly done. I just couldn't believe the batter. I don't think I've had batter on chicken like that before. Also, they accommodated my request of not wanting thighs in my 4 piece (I am not a fan of chicken thighs ( thighs are too gamey for my taste). So I very much appreciate that. Since trying it the first time, I have gone almost every week now.“

“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“

“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.“

“This place is special in a way that would almost makes me want to keep it a well-guarded secret. You don't really get this experience anymore, it takes a confluence of passion and community that's hard to come by in any era, let alone the modern, distanced, impersonal world we occupy now.This is the quintessential Chicago Mom n' Pop experience. Great food at ridiculously good prices served up with a smile and a friendly familiarity that makes you feel like you're right at home.The decor matches the patrons: humble, comfortable, working-class Americana and unapologetically Chicagoan to the core. You can tell most of the customers here are patrons for life, and with good reason. You always feel like a person here, not an order. They aren't just trying to turn over your ticket, they want to make sure you're taken care of.I can't tell you the last time I had perfect fries before this, like too-hot-to-eat, immaculate golden brown fries. I definitely can't recall ever getting them with a whole burger for under $7. I fed two hungry adults here for less than $20. It felt absurd, almost, like I wanted to pay more because it felt unfair to them that I'd pay twice that much at a lot of places.Just a positively perfect experience every time and we always make it a point to stop here anytime we're remotely close by.“

“I'm from Atlanta Ga ,and was visiting family and friends and we stopped in for a hotdog ..delicious ? and the fries tastes like McDonald's fries ( although they are not )lol I ate mine and my friends..nice atmosphere, and the gentleman who took our order was great ?“

“Found this place like a 3-4 days ago and coming here for 4 days in a row. The soup is really good. The atmosphere is good as well as the music. The staff is friendly always ready to help. The most liked dishes are Bishkek chicken and Beef soup. Recommend to everyone!“

“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.“

“Food is good, there is a strong language barrier with staff. I wanted to add ghost pepper seasoning (Fuego) to my salt fries. No option was in the digital menu for that. Had to talk to 3 people to get that done. They got it done though... But 1 out the 3 gave a little attitude vibe.“

“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.“

“LOVE NICKS! Great service, family owned, upbeat & inviting staff ? good energy all around, you can feel the mutual respect amongst the ranks & I love that. Happy employees = happy customers WHO COME BACK. *Nicks drive in* is the perfect example of this & my family always runs it back?NOW... FOOD? Nick's is known for their HOME-MADE GYROS & they are delicious by ALL accounts!! If you like gyros, you will LOVE theirs! Nicks makes burgers, hotdogs, mozzarella sticks, chili, popcorn shrimp, shakes & many more options, kids meals etc. Sit down & stay a while or drive-inn & drive out.I've been coming to nicks since I was a little girl getting lunch with my grandpa or grandma. Saturday night dinner out with dad. I think I may have even had a birthday party at Nick's in the mid 90s. Nick's is family. Iykyk & if you don't know.. GO FIND OUT.Yesterday I called in a pick up order& forgot my brother's milkshake on the counter. & instead of getting all the way home & changed out of my 'heavy snow storm--triple layered clothing' only to realize my mistake.. "NICKS" was calling me. AMAZING SERVICE !! Many wouldn't do that over a milkshake, thank you ?Anyway, TLDR..? Go to >> nicks drive -in chicago. You're welome ✨️?Parking: Alot of space to park unnless it's busy. NBut it's quickKid-friendliness: Alot of space for kids to be kids“

“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've worked in Morton Grove for 26 years and we have patronized this location often and have always found the food to be consistently great and the service to be Timely and I'm actually on my way there this now! Highly recommend. The Greek gyros are phenomenal and I also love the American Style. Stop by if you're in the area you'll be glad you did“

“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.“

“Got the Blazing Bowl. The chicken is moist and packed with flavor. The sauces that they use have just the right amount of heat to let you enjoy the flavor and feel the heat at the same time. The Mac and cheese is also very creamy. Generous portion sizes are also a plus.“

“I was told this Dairy Queen was at this location for over 65 years and had that fantastic atmosphere for my day gone by. I enjoyed my ice cream treat and so did my wife and we were very happy coming to this location and we'll again. This location at a narrow parking lot in back because it was on a major corner but I no problem in parking or enjoying my Ice cream.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Food is amazing! I always get the combination platter and it’s so delicious. Best Baba Ghanoush I’ve had- it’s my favorite thing on the menu. Can’t forget the baklava- so good! We always pick up & it’s easy to order online & my order is always correct. This is our new favorite local spot!“

“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“

“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.“

“Awesome place, modern, cozy. Our 2 and 4 kids loooove to eat pasta and dine in. not just thay make pasta from scratch bit they are using organic chicken for our favorite pasta. pasta is usually done in 5/6 minute and portions are big. If you like Europian flavor for both interior and food this is right place for you!“

“Went to this location I got to say the best one so far by far there was this wonderful lady who was so Polite, professional, and courtesy. I believe she was manger named geneva if I recall right the sandwhich are already amazing but when they make it with extra love taste even “

“This is an institution in Skokie! I wish you could give it more stars. The hotdogs are sensational. The burgers are the best around the french fries what dreams are made of their chicken breast sandwiches satisfying any non-meat lovers appetite everything there is excellent. The staff is great the owners great, thank you so much for being here and providing the great food. If you're in Skokie, do not miss this place the chain that begins with P and ends in OS cannot compare.“

“The most delicious burgers are grilled here! They also have very tasty homemade seasonings you have to try! Staff are amazing and very friendly. Whenever I have the chance to stop by I always get the burgers and enjoy it. There is free parking spot and they open late night if you get hungry and your fridge is empty!“

“Wow. Best burger I’ve had in awhile…. Very simple but everything was delicious. The employee recommended the smash sauce instead of cheese for dipping fries and I’m glad we listened. ?Kid-friendliness: Smaller burgers for the kiddos was also helpful so they weren’t wasting part of a huge sandwich“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“The entire crew at the Peterson location is the best in the city! Special shout out to Jason for his exceptional customer service and for going over and beyond to fix my order from another store. I would definitely recommend this location and is set as my preferred location!“

“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.“

“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“

“Unbelievable beef sandwich, and the pizza is great, too. Definitely my favorite beef sammie I’ve ever tried! Perfect fries. Love a restaurant with SoBe Lifewater - feels like a blast from the past! This restaurant is immaculate. The theming is fantastic, the space is clean, and all of the booths/tables/etc are in excellent shape. You really notice since everything is hot pink and turquoise! Just obsessed with this place“

“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!!!“
