    All this chicken and a small piece of bread and barely any salad
    Shell P.

    I have had it with this location. They are not consistent and I can't stand hit or miss establishments. I go here often especially being the location closest to me. But, I will be traveling to Frankfort going forward. I hate it because my food is usually good but lately I've been getting crap. It started with my most recent combo sandwich bread tasting old and literally crumbling. They "might" have gotten away with it if the sandwich was dipped as I requested. Instead, they just wet it so nearly half of it was DRY and very stale! Then, I went to Frankfort just because I was in the area and decided to finally try the caesar sandwich and it was so delicious I decided to get another the next day BUT from Flossmoor. I had to eat over half the chicken by itself because they gave me such a small piece of bread it couldn't hold all the meat (see photo) and very little salad on it. Food should be made the same no matter the location.

    Beef with hot peppers and cheese fries

    Maybe the very best Italian beef sandwich ever. Ordered the Chicago way beef, hot peppers, plus cheese fries with an extra order of fries. Wonderful

    The regular Italian beef with nacho cheese was very good but pricey for size. It was around $10 plus tax and I don't think the size is worth it. At least mine was not. A good part of my bread had no beef at all. The fries were good. Service was quick through drive thru.

    Rainbow Cone!

    Love the Rainbow Cone addition ! Drive through is fast and they always get your order correct! Dining room is clean and a friendly dining experience. A great addition to our community!

    Avocado Jack burger and French fries
    Julia L.

    I always have a good experience at this location. I sometimes have to wait for food, but never more than 10 minutes. I love the crispy French fries. They are my favorite of all time! I love how much avocado they put on my burger. Staff is friendly and I have never had a complaint about the food!

    Buona restaurant in Flossmoor Illinois was not worth the time and health risk taking during this pandemic. After getting up enough nerves to go outside, I stopped by Buona to grab a quick meal. Because I like seeing the preparation of my meal and observing the cleanliness of the environment, I normally don't use the drive through. I order two pesto turkey sandwiches, one salmon sandwich, and an order of large fries. I asked for extra lettuce and sauce on the sandwiches. I also had a $5 coupon which I was not allowed to use. Bottom line, instead of turkey on my sandwich I got chicken . I called the manager, he explained that they were slicing the turkey a different way...blah..blah...blah. He wanted me to bring back the sandwiches which was no problem had we not been in a full-blown pandemic. Not worth the trip & health risk

    I hadn't been to Buona in years and this was my first time at this location. Honestly, I wasn't that impressed with the Rosemont location so I didn't have high expectations when I stopped in for lunch one afternoon. I had a burger and my sister ordered a hot dog. We also had fries and drinks. My sister didn't like the hot dog at all. She said it had a weird after taste and definitely seemed like an off brand. She didn't eat it all for fear of getting sick. She also said that there was so much relish on the hot dog that the bun was soggy. The burger was okay, but nothing special. One thing I noticed was that the burger was larger than the bun so some of the beef hung over the bun. The fries were just okay. The restaurant had a nice crowd and the service was reasonably fast which was a plus. The atmosphere was quiet and inviting. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the electrical outlets placed near some of the tables is very convenient if you're dining in. I probably won't return to Buona anytime soon.

    The Buona Beef restaurant in Flossmoor is located in a good location with an ample amount of parking. The food is cooked fresh and has lots of flavor. I love the fries. The building its self is very contemporary and it's a clean establishment. On the other hand, the customer service needs improvement. When you ask the workers to add more ingredients, they don't listen and are very stingy. These sandwiches are very costly, so being stingy on lettuce peppers, and condiments is not an option. So the sandwiches are decent, but they are not worth the money when you can go to other restaurants and get more products for a cheaper price. Update: In May 2020 I ordered an 7" Charbroiled Sausage Sandwich. I can say that the food was very skimpy. You have to pay for cheese and sauce to be added. You can visit other restaurants in the area for the same prices and receive a better quality and portions of food. My sandwich was dry, small, and disappointing to say the least.

    Vegan Italian Beef, Invite This to your tastebud party, you'll thank yourself later!!!!

    Recently I've Chosen to follow a mainly Pescatarian Diet, so when Hubbysweetcheeks makes a request for me to pick him something up to eat at certain places, I am elated to find Plant Based fare on the menu. With that said, let me tell you about Buona Beef's Vegetarian Italian Beef, Oh my goodness!!!! That sandwich with the hot peppers is foot stomping, mmmmmmmmm invoking some kinda Delicious!!!! The stacked shaved layers of yummyliciousness is seasoned to perfection!!!!! Hat's off to Buona Beef for Being Inclusive on their Menu, I Love Italian Beef and now I can Enjoy it Again, without the sluggishness I used to encounter for indulging on such. Another place to add to my list when I don't feel like cooking. Stop by Buona and Try it, I'm telling you, you will most definitely enjoy it !!!!!

    Went to the restaurant on a Friday immediately after work. It was rather light with diners…read more However, staff was slightly scrambled, albeit very attentive. Since I was solo, I sat at the bar. I wanted to start with spinach artichoke dip. There was none. So, I ordered carrot and black bean tacos. The tacos were a good backup. Those who lean towards vegetarian would like them. I must say that I was expecting some heat from the jalapeños. For my main dish, I had the shrimp and grits. It took a few swallows before the flavor kicked in. The sauce was tasty, but was maybe a notch above mildly seasoned. I have a feeling that the tomatoes in the recipe added a little acidity. With the addition of spinach, this dish landed in gourmet territory. From what I gather, the restaurant has been under new management for a few years. It feels like they are working out kinks. I will give them a few months before I try them again.

    Honestly, speaking, I wish I had better things to say however, I have to be honest. My reservation…read morewas at four. The doors were locked until 415 and that was because I called. I'm not really gonna talk about the ambience, because for me it wasn't there, but that is not the basis of my scoring. The old-fashioned made by our waiter was good, excellent, perfect. We wanted a margarita, but they let us know that they did not have the materials needed to make it. They also did not have the ingredients to make a few starters and entrées on the menu so their limited menu became even more limited. The food, we ordered crabcakes, and a colossal honey glazed shrimp. The crabcakes came out and they were flat, they looked like what was supposed to be one crabcake broken into three. The shrimp came out and instead of having colossal shrimp we had small shrimp, maybe even baby shrimp. We addressed the concern with the shrimp and they said they're not going to charge us for it. With our pasta came a side salad, the salad and the salad dressing, which was a lemon vinaigrette, was good. When we received the pasta, there was only four pieces of sausage, the chicken was unseasoned and the sauce was cheese sauce with hot sauce added, no other seasoning. Nothing about the pasta was Nola.

I ordered a Riesling... too sweet, tasted more like a Moscato, 6/10. Caesar salad, was perfect and I added cucumbers .50 more. Perfectly crispy, well dressed 10/10. I also ordered the pot roast 10/10 which I didn't eat much of as I was full but everything tasted perfect seasoned and tender vegetables, roast. Sauce was perfect with the mash potatoes too. Service was perfect. She answered all our questions, was patient and attentive. Jaaniyah 10/10. Be aware, this last part is the business/credit card companies and not the server. A 3% surcharge for credit cards is already added to receipt, as well as an 18% service charge. It's not always clear who all receives the service charge as it is not listed as gratuity but it cannot be removed. So do your math's if you're looking to tip 20%

    The food at Stoney Point Grill in Homewood was honestly disappointing, and the menu was not what I…read moreexpected at all. For the pricing, I expected much better flavor, quality, and overall creativity. The shareables were overpriced, the drinks were mid-level at best, and nothing really stood out enough to justify the cost. The space itself is nice and works well as a social spot or sports bar atmosphere where you can sit, talk, watch games, and enjoy company. That part of the experience was probably the highlight. However, the service was also lacking because the restaurant seemed noticeably short-staffed. It took a long time to receive attention and proper service throughout the visit, which added to the frustration. Overall, the location and atmosphere have potential, but the menu, food quality, drink execution, pricing, and staffing experience need major improvement to match the type of establishment they appear to be aiming for.
