    Fantastic dranks.
    Wyn P.

    First time here in Buona (pronounced bone no) and it will not be the last night here, everything was too our delight. Let me mentioned those who made this such a wonderful delight. Chase the general Man was very pleasant, Leah was the cashier was awesome also, but saving the first for last was Natalie, she went over and beyond, fellow Windy city native, brought me extra peppers and a great conversationist. Our delicious meal was one beef regular meal and a combo beef and sausage meal, got the onion rings, they were incredibly delicious and the sauce that came with it knock it out the park. They also keep up with the windy city style by having the original rainbow cone inside the building, this place is a must see and not to be passed up, so please give this a try, you will not be disappointed.

    If you are looking for Chicago style food, this is definitely a place to give a try. I ordered an Italian beef dry, au jus gravy on the side, with a side of french fries and drink, and a bowl of chili. The beef sandwich was decent (definitely has some Chicago authenticity). A little drier than I anticipated. Thankfully I had the au jus gravy on the side. They au jus was seasoned very well as were the french fries. The chili was very good. Be advised it does come with pasta in it. You can add or omit items if you wish. Their menu has numerous options to choose from burgers to hotdog, as well as pastas. You can order your meal at the counter, at a kiosk, or on the mobile app. My order was prepared fairly quickly. The restaurant definitely has a cool vibe, and large seating capacity. Overall, I was very satisfied. I will definitely be back in the future.

    Soft opening was greeted with applause for the busy bustling time. Order your food at the counter or self kiosk. Self seating just like any fast food place. Now on to the food. I never had a sub sandwich dipped in any type of gravy or juice. I see why you must have your sub dunked. It brought more flavor and savory. Having it semi dry just wasn't the same. Ask for that extra cheese for your sandwich and that ranch for your onion rings. It was good. Now the price point wise I was shocked. It was on the higher side $20 for a meal with taxes and including a drink. I thought it was deep. But I guess you're paying for that loaded beef sandwich which I could not finish myself and the location. Dessert I peaked over but I just didn't have room.

    Quick reference for the storezc

    So hear me out... the food quality? Good stuff. We ordered two italian cheesy beefs, onion rings, and fries. Very well staffed (almost overstaffed for a 6pm on a Saturday) but slightly slow for dine in and take out. But here is the perplexing part. 1. Asked for my beef baptized... the beef was dry however... the foil and plastic it was wrapped in was drenched. See where I am going with this? Who is doing these baptisms with the foil wrapper on? 2. Asked for au jus on the side - "juice" on the side was not given. Probably overlooked - no biggie. Overall it was good - we just need some extra training on how to get the chicago beef right. Love, A resident Chicagoan that will definitely come back.

    Onion rings

    This restaurant serves Chicago classic dishes and is a very good deal. A regular sandwhich (that I couldn't even finish) was huge and delicious. The peppers were spicy which i like, and you can customize your "wetness". Onion rings were hot and good, and the root beer was very crisp. Service was good, they were busy (crowded even) but we were in and out within 45 minutes for 5 people (including eating time) with a large order. Its an open airy restaurant with bright orange colors everywhere. I will be back when I'm in the area looking for a good sandwhich.

    Really wanted to love this but sadly, did not. The service was great. Everyone was very nice, tables were quickly cleaned, and someone was walking around handing out free samples of the birthday cake icecream. They had a big tv so everyone could watch football, which we also enjoyed. However, it was $48 for two of us to eat and the food was not great. It LOOKS excellent, but the meat had little flavor. Nothing special about the fries, no seasoning, just a small amount of salt. And the marinara was watered down. Probably won't be back unless we want to give it another try in a few years!

    We wanted to try new things and here we are at Buono! We are impressed of how clean the restaurant is. Food is delicious and has a lot of options to choose from. We used the POS to order food and it was easy and fast. Service was great. There was a staff walking around cleaning the tables. That was so awesome.

I ordered their Greatest American Hero burger with Cajun fries. The fries were crispy and perfectly cooked. They were great. The burger was perfectly cooked and had enough lettuce that the fresh crunch came through. Joanie's Magic Sauce was served on the side. It was good with the burger but not the fries. This was my first trip here and I can recommend it. The burger was better than average. I'd give it a 7.8 out of 10. Other than the moldy smell, I can recommend it. The condiments are in small packets on a wall, which I didn't care for, but not the end of the world.

    While visiting Panther Creek Brews there was a non-descript food truck there with a hand-written…read moremenu. I took a look at the menu and it didn't really resemble what most food trucks offer. The offerings indicated someone who cooked using a bit of flair and looked like they knew how to enhance a dish with sauces. I selected the Rosemary Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas. Now these are not like any quesadilla I've had as a "appetizer" at many restaurants, this was a creative melding of intricate flavors into a quasi-soft shell taco/quesadilla. The grilled chicken had great flavor and the bacon and ranch really complemented the quesadilla. The tortilla was perfect, slightly crisp, and held the entire quesadilla together and didn't fall apart after the first bite. To top it all off...I got to meet the owners/operators Frankie and Tony Wong. This couple works hard, serve up great food, and are really fun to talk to. Highly recommend you like and subscribe to their FB Page. Their menu is a dry erase board and changes daily, I can't wait to see what special item they will create next. https://www.facebook.com/Myrootsfoodtruck

The TRIPLE LAYER TOMATO AND BASIL GRILLED CHEESE ON SOURDOUGH was delish! Soft, with a crunchy outside and surprisingly not too much bread. A good amount of cheese and flavor. I'd definitely recommend. CRINKLE CUT FRIES were over cooked. I'm sad to say I didn't even finish them, which is rare for me since this cut of fries is my absolute favorite! Just too crunch and the flavor was heavy on the oil, rather than potato. Total cost was $9 before tip, which made it one of the least expensive items on the truck. Customer service was professional. Food was made quickly and from order. Pretty good, IMO.
