“I very much enjoyed the pupusas, sweet corn tamales, and corn atol. Prices were reasonable. The very clean dining area had amazing art. Great options for vegans and vegetarians and omnivores.Parking: On the side of the building and easily to spot and access.Kid-friendliness: Kind, patient, and accommodating to my kids and the food is not spicy.“
“Panera is a great place to take a break and meet regularly with friends. Food is high quality and well prepared. Staff is always friendly and smiling...If you become a regular, consider joining the coffee club...If you're a dessert person, nothing beats a Panera fruit ring...simply delicious.And the nice thing is they are consistent from location to location...“
“Build your own bowl: start out with a base including purple rice or sweet potato noodles, can not decide? Go half and half.chooese a protein from steak, Korean BBQ, chicken, spicy chicken, or tofu. Extra protein is only $3 (perfect if you are splitting a bowl - which you could easily do). There are seven veggies, including kimchi, scrambled eggs, and cheese to add to your bowl, top it off with one of 6 sauces. Pineapple and avocado are premium toppings at $1.50 each. I found the Korean BBQ tender and flavorful. The broccoli is oven roasted, bringing ou the nuttiness. Seriously, two people can split a bowl or plan on lunch tomorrow. ? On the beverage station is a crock of hot Miso soup, it is included in with your bowl. I found the soup needed salt.“
“After growing up within the Latino community, eating authentic Mexican dishes, and learning how to cook within that community, I'm pretty particular about the Mexican food establishments I give my hard-earned cash to, because I know what good Mexican food is and it is often not what you get...Cinco Hermanos gets my money happily!As such, I often have certain requests that may not be on a menu, but I know are doable, based on my knowledge of Mexican cuisine. Not only do they happily receive my request during my phone order, the request is always executed correctly and to my liking.My husband doesn't like certain things in his burrito, and when ordering from other places, those things were either in there, or replaced with other "fillers." He orders the same exact thing every time, so he has often been disappointed...and his requests are easy like no lettuce and no rice inside the burrito...no biggie, right? The first time we ordered the way my hubby likes his burrito, from Cinco Hermanos, not only did they get the order right, they added some extra meat in the burrito as the "filler." That's customer service and attention to detail right there!I love that their tacos ARE NOT GREASY!! We love tacos al pastor, but they are often bathing in grease, which is actually just laziness on the cook's part...I know, because I make them at home, often. I usually don't like to order carryout tacos as a result, because they arrive home soggy and greasy...NOT the experience I've had at Cinco Hermanos! The tortillas rarely have any extra grease on them and the meat is the same. Any tacos I've ever ordered from them arrive home intact, non-soggy, and as delicious as if they were just prepared in my own kitchen!I also really enjoy their green salsa...it tastes like homemade. You can tell that they used fresh ingredients and that it was made in smaller batches. It's hard to explain, but trust me when I say it is one of the best green salsas I've ever had, including some homemade authentic versions. It's a little warmer than most, so be prepared for that, but it is crave-able!If you're looking for a stellar caldo de res, this is the place! Not only did it taste like the thousands of caldo's I've enjoyed in Mexican kitchens over my lifetime, it was served the way you'd be served in said kitchen...plenty of meat and veggies in that delicious broth! My typical experience ordering caldo to-go, is a container with a lot of broth, one or two small pieces of meat, one small carrot, more cabbage than anything, and half a potato...not even enough meat to make a decent taco to eat with the broth. I ordered this one weekend I was sick, and let me tell you, it hit ALL the right spots! Rich broth with an abundance of meat and veggies...exactly the way it would be served in my home kitchen. I was floored when I opened the container and saw it, and then more pleasantly surprised when I tasted it...perfection! Just know that it's only available on weekends and totally worth the wait! Oh, and one of my requests, LOTS of limes, was absolutely fulfilled, happily. Hats off to this place for great customer service!I've not had one thing on the menu that has displeased me, nor has my husband. Not one.Not only is the food delicious, the service is impeccable. I have certain requests when I order carryout, not excessive by any means, just certain things we prefer, like only green salsa and no plastic utensils necessary. At other places we've ordered, 8 out of 10 times, there's a bunch of red salsa in the bag - along with the green - and a bunch of plastic forks that end up in our garbage can. EVERY SINGLE TIME we order from Cinco Hermanos, the instructions are followed to a T, which tells me that they're good business people and not throwing their money in our garbage can. As a business person, I find that smart, admirable, and a likely indicator of how they run their business on every level.Here's a good "tell" if a Mexican restaurant “
“I got the Classic Philly- and it was outstanding! It literally just melts in your mouth, cheesy bite of deliciousness. I also got the cheese fries which were also phenomenal and definitely can tell made out of REAL potatoes versus a frozen bag of fries.I’m not even mad I got it all over my work clothes eating in the car because I have a 30 minute lunch break. My only disappointment was I called twice and no one answered the phone and went to voicemail.I don’t know why this establishment didn’t have more people in (maybe because it is Sunday) because this is the BEST sandwich I’ve had in the Lake County area! I will be back again!“
“The service here was excellent, and the food was beyond my expectations!! I got a Denver omelet and some raspberry cream cheese crepes. Wow, they were so good! It was a busy place on a Saturday morning, but we got seated after only a five minute wait. I would definitely go back again.“
“Small gem just off 176! Great BBQ!! My wife had a pulled pork sandwich and I had the hot sausage - both were terrific!! Very nice staff also. I spoke with Debbie, who was so nice and informative. If you like BBQ, definitely check this place out!!!“
“We’ve been here a few times, their burgers are very delicious. The fries are also yummy! Their customer service is great, very kind & helpful.If you like spicy you have to try El Diablo burger it’s very delicious & of course spicy! The Black Widow with added egg is also very good- it’s sweet.“
“So 1st time here tonight and it was a special occasion for us made more special by our server Stephanie she was friendly and attentive without being overbearing....awesome job!! Also the food was great from the pretzel with warm carmel sauce yep! Filet was really good dessert amazing will be back ?“
“Been coming here for 15+yrs and it never disappoints. Great food and a great value in a world where everyone is jacking up their price to absurd levels. Have had catering done for a large party, have had delivery, and stopped in for food many times and it’s always been consistent and good food. This place hasn’t changed a bit for as long as I can remember and I mean that in the best possible way!“
“I went in the drive thru so I can't say anything about the atmosphere. What I can say is that Portillos always had good food; I get hot dogs w/ everything on them (no peppers) and cheese fries. The line moved pretty quick and the workers were friendly. I would go again“
“First time visit. Had a good experience. Rachel took my order and was very polite and personable. It was a pleasure chatting with her while waiting for my (to-go)order. While waiting, I also watched a team of employees work well together (even through the were short staffed). Our food was pretty good. Personally not a fan of the baked potatoes as mine was overcooked. Highly recommend the Cuban sandwich.I spoke briefly with the GM (Sunshine) and commended her on everything. People just don’t say thank you enough these days.Looking forward to returning.“
“Mr. Submarine is so much better than some of the other competitors out there. Specifically that one team with the green and yellow colors. Their bread is second best to my favorite red and black team, and the service is a little more helpful. I have heard that other locations can vary in quality, but when my local Polish deli has closed, I come here for a decent sandwich. The employees are always patient with you and make sure you're comfortable with your decision on toppings before they actually place them on your sandwich. I definitely feel like their vegetables are fresh, and the meat is tasty, but not top quality. Again, I am comparing a chain to Euro-style sandwiches. I'm not expecting top tier, but I am definitely happy with the sandwich I get, which is always the Mr. Sub. This location is hidden in a Mobil gas station, which I would have never found had I not searched for places to eat in Fox Lake. I barely know the area, having moved here from Chicago. Definitely check them out. What's also cool is that if there are other incidentals that you need from the gas station shop, it's there for you to purchase along with your sandwich. Love it!“
Pizza • $
“Great food, great people. Ernest is a great guy. Kind and friendly staff. Warm and inviting atmosphere. The pizza is FANTASTIC. The oven they have looks really cool for one but it perfectly softens yet crisps the fresh dough. Think of MOD pizza with fresh ingredients. The staff was informative about how they prepare and store the ingredients without me having to ask. They had a wide range of toppings for their pizzas. If pizza isn’t your thing, no worries! They got something for everyone! Would definitely recommend!Vegetarian options: They have plenty of fresh veggies ranging from artichoke to olives to mushrooms.Parking: Huge lot! Bring all your friends!Dietary restrictions: I don’t eat meat or many processed foods. They had a wide range of unprocessed, fresh, and natural options to choose from.“
“I ordered a regular Hammie for lunch. When it came, it was a "SkinnyHammie." instead. The store manager, a very nice young woman,had my order remade and did not charge me for either one. I thinkshe deserves a "thank you"for being gracious.“
“My local favorite for the best pizza of all of them. Fast service. I just happem=ned to be driving home and stopped in at the Gurnee location. Ordered a pizza to go and it was ready in less than fifteen minutes. Was perfectly done to expectations.Parking: Handicapped to the door !“
“Best pizza in the world!Only giving 4 stars in my review because I wish I didn’t take thaaaaat long.. hopefully someday we will be able to order in advance so we won’t have to wait up to 1 hour for deep dish already seating in the table.“
“Great deals and great brews are on the grill at Hello Folks. Be sure to don your VR gear and locate the hrósa hot spots for an out of this world gaming experience. And here at Hello Folks they offer something called "lof" Ice. "lof" Ice is imported from Iceland and goes great in any soda pop or cocktail. Patrons often order just the ice just to gaze deeply into the cubes to witness anthropomorphic apparitions of praise and tribute for our Veterans. Be sure to try the "Bang Burger" for just a buck your sure to get lucky on a Tuesday night disguised as a horny swan.“
“Just went there from Kenosha. Haven’t been they are since I moved from Minnesota. Had a hiccup or two but it’s all good there was only one lady working who can you blame? The pizza is still fantastic and the service was great. She was definitely a hard-working woman great job and will definitely be going back, I just wish they had one in Kenosha“
“I ranked it a 5 because of the combination of inexpensive and tasty food. They have a pretty good loyalty program, so make sure you join it. The app is pretty easy to use. I always order ahead on the app, then pick it up in the restaurant and don't have to wait. Lastly, always check your food. They make a lot of mistakes. My wife and I go here a lot.Vegetarian options: They offer tofu and it's pretty good because of the sauces that they use.Parking: It's in a strip mall so basically they never fill up in their parking lot.Kid-friendliness: It's a loud atmosphere, so it's kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: It's not very wheelchair accessible unless you have someone bring the food out to your car, which they do as part of their regular operation.“
“Typical Portillo. Food is good. Order takers are short-temered, servers seem like you are bothering them when you pick up your order. They are too busy flirting with each other to catr about your order. Even when you are right there and able to watch the package your food order, they just throw things around and ignore you completely. If you can put up with that, the food is worth a visit.“
“I’ve gone here at least once a year since like, forever, and it’s always great food, great service. Happy to support a good small business. Yes prices have increased, but so has gas, rent, your groceries, and more. It’s inflation people. Will always continue going here! The fries are my “
