    Buona Beef
    Grace C.

    Best Italian beef, hands down. I tried a few other popular ones and can say Buona has mastered the trifecta: juicy beef, supportive but not cut-the-roof-of-your-mouth bread, and the most flavorful giardiniera. I had it a few times to be certain Some of the other purveyors had beef that was too dry and flavorless or soggy bread and giariniera that looked better than it tasted. The staff was always friendly (especially at the Rainbow Cone station) and there's plenty of seating. Clean and well lit, easy for anyone - families, individuals, couples, and/or folks with mobility challenges. Will return on each trip to Chicago!

    This location in Lake Zurich just opened up about a month ago, we've ordered take out 3 times since they opened and they have delivered great food and service every time. We are frequent customers of Buona Beef, used to go to the hoffman estate's location a lot when we lived near that location. We were so glad to find out they were opening up a new location further north. This location is special because it has a Rainbow Cone attached to the restaurant, where you can get ice cream and drinks too. We typically order hot dogs, burgers, Italian beef or their pizza and salads. You can't really go wrong with any of their options, I haven't had anything I didn't enjoy. I've been impressed by their service at this location, as a newly opened location, the speed of service, quality of food, and most importantly getting our take out orders correct every time so far. I can't tell you how many times we've ordered pick up at a fast food or a restaurant in the past year where the order was incorrect or missing items. If you've never tried Buona Beef, I'd highly recommend it. Great food all around!

    This Buona Beef location just opened and is definitely a must stop. The beef sandwich was on point, the service was quick and friendly. Plenty of employees, including a trainer were on site ensuring that everything flowed smoothly and from what I witnessed, it did. A spacious dining room including a high top bar table to sit at allowed me a great view of the tv and a little view of the kitchen that showed the hussle behind the scene. Smiles were plenty and the music was great even playing one of my favorite songs. The attached Rainbow Cone offers many hard to resist options and helps to make me want to come back that much sooner. Don't forget to be a part of the rewards program. I'll definitely be seeing you all again soon!

    Wonderful atmosphere with stunning views of the lake. The vibe is relaxing and inviting, making it…read morea great place to unwind. The food is also excellent, featuring a variety of options that cater to different tastes. Overall, it's a delightful spot to enjoy good company, beautiful scenery, and tasty meals. A visit is highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a pleasant dining experience by the water.

    Per website: "We charge a fee (a "minimum") to reserve a table when you make the reservation, which…read moreis then used towards your entire bill (food, beverage and/or gratuity) on the date of your reservation". Per staff on phone: yes you have to pay the $135 minimum. No one said anywhere that I don't get the fee back if the money is not spent. We had a table for two. Drinks were great. We shared an appetizer which was ok, a 3/5 if I had to rate it (fig and pig flatbread). It just so happens that we were full and ready to go. We come up to pay and they're like yeah you're not getting your money back (our bill was just under $40). I had to rack up a bill of $90 or so more in food to fulfill the $135 and we had to go so I said don't even warm it up we need to leave. So there I am with 5 boxes of food and they don't have 1 bag to give me. The salad to go was great. The rest was garbage. So disappointed. Sitting at picnic table just outside of restaurant next time and bringing everything of my own. Such a rip off. Fix your website and warn new customers next time. Maybe buy some to go bags too. And increase quality of the food. Yuck.
