    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 !!!!!

    While having a lazy moment recently, I went back to Whata Taco to place an order. I ordered a two…read moretacos dinner that came with Spanish rice and frijoles. I also afforded a quesabirria that came with consome, Spanish rice, and frijoles. For the tacos, I explicitly said that I wanted cilantro and onions on the tacos only. When I got home, there were lettuce, tomato, and quesa fresca, not cilantro and onion. I ordered in Spanish, so it's disappointing that the order was wrong. The taco dinner was not bad, nevertheless. They redeemed themselves with the quesabirria, though. The steak was proper. There is still something about Wha Taco that I can't pinpoint. I can't say if it's the empty parking lot all the time or if it's something missing in the flavor. It's not a bad pla e, but something is off.

    I ate at this restaurant on October 24, 2025. I was starving and decided to stop after driving…read morepast. When I went inside, the customer service seemed fine, and I ordered three tacos for around $11. Unfortunately, the cashier didn't mention that I could have gotten five tacos for the same price because of a daily special I didn't notice. That left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Other than that, the tacos were very good. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this location, but it was a quick and decent option for a meal. The restaurant was clean and well maintained.
