    Salad with extra chicken
    Chelsea C.

    Buona's menu surprised us! This restaurant makes it simple to order healthy options. I highly recommend their salad with extra chicken! The severs here were helpful and kind. The restaurant was clean and the food was delicious. This is definitely going to be a staple spot for us.

    Peppermint shake. Like running your leftover candy canes through a Vitamix.

    Date of visit: December 6, 2024 We've driven past the Pleasant Prairie location a few times but as my husband isn't a roast/italian beef fan, we never stopped. But while meeting a friend near Lake Geneva, he suggested this place and we confirmed that the menu had chicken, decided to give it a try. The location appears quite new and has the bright, shiny feel about it that confirms that thought. Staff was overall friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated both the displayed menus and the kiosks for us newbies to get a feel for the food and the ordering. I went with the cheese beef and thought it was quite good. My only issue was there were a couple green peppers hidden in the sandwich--thankfully I caught them first, but this would have been a significantly lower-rated review if I hadn't! The fries were much better than I expected them to be given their appearance, which resembles Culver's, but I loathe the thick, mushy fries that Culver's serves; this is leaps and bounds superior to Culver's fries! I am a sucker for a milkshake and tried the peppermint because it is the current limited flavor. If you love candy canes, you will leave your spouse for this shake. If you're just so so on candy canes (like me), your marriage will be none the worse for this shake and you'll wish you tried the peanut butter instead. Only other issue here was when the food was brought out. Two staffers brought us an extra sandwich and both seemed inordinately confused about how that could have happened and what to do about it, making for an awkward 90 seconds of everyone looking at each other, both us and them, before we got out the receipt and confirmed that the three people in our party did not order four entrees.

    Chopped Chicken Salad

    Delicious, fresh, made to order and LOADED!!! I'm keto, so this was ordered without the pasta and tortilla strips. Also subbed the house dressing for Caesar. Went through the drive thru, quick process and was ready at the window (vs having to park and wait). Friendly cashier. I think this is very close to my ultimate favorite Portillo's chopped salad, but way, way closer in distance for me. Will try more of their options! The protein bowl is next on my list of things to try.

    This is the "go to" place for Italian beef for years. Food is tasty and the staff is friendly. This is a brand, new location, just opened for a couple weeks. Not to mention immaculately clean. Not a big fan of the Rainbow Cone! I wish they would've put Pizza in this location. I've been to locations that have it. Seating inside and outside, and plenty of parking. Job well done.

    Very unflavored Starry, mostly just carbonation.

I ordered through the McDonald's app two sausage McMuffins this morning at 5:50 in the a.m. there were no cars in the Drive-Thru except mine. I waited over 10 minutes for them to come on to the microphone to take the order. I placed the order and I was specific about customizing one of the sausage McMuffins to not have any cheese on it. My friend is lactose intolerant and he cannot handle cheese. When I got to the Williams Bay here, and gave him his sandwich, written on the wrapper was no cheese, and the sandwich had extra cheese on it. I will never return to this restaurant, even though the manager when I went back in the afternoon told me I have a free sandwich coming. It isn't even worth it!

The most important thing to note before dining here is that if you want a crispy pizza experience this isn't the kind of place for that HOWEVER their pizza is absolutely delicious!

The Mickey Mouse pizza was a big hit with my daughter and the pepperoni & honey pizza my husband and I split was the perfect size, cooked to perfection. The sweetness of the honey drizzle paired with the spiciness of the pepperoni was spot on. For dessert we couldn't pass up the nutella calzone with came with a size of fresh strawberries. The flavor profile of this was amazing, the only downside was that it was not cut and was very difficult to cut, but other than that, highly recommend.
