    Dining area!

    I've been coming to this location for years, since they opened! Today the experience was great and food was great as always! Alexis took our order and she was professional and respectful. Sincere the (Asst. Manager) always makes sure customers are taken care of and if everything was to perfection! Carla always makes sure tables are cleaned and customer service is excellent. Appreciate this location very much!

    There are just some places that are always a safe bet and of course Buona is one of them! So much so that my mother in law requested it for mothers day. And that is saying something as she is really picky! HA! This is our first time at this location and it looks to be rather new? Very nice inside and out. Inside is nice and modern/touristy. I was surprised going through the menu to find an item I had never noticed before, the Big Joey's Beef. Not sure how I could have missed it but I ordered this one for myself. I am sure glad that I did as it was amazing! Slow-roasted Italian beef, spiced just right layered on fresh Italian bread. Topped with Hot Giardiniera, sweet bell peppers, and melted mozzarella. Its pricy, $12.49 but is also really good. I loved it. The rest of the fam got regular Italian beef sandwiched with sweet peppers. And each got a side of potato salad. My father in law could not stop raving about how good the potato salad was and of course everyone loved their sandwiches. We are all picky about our Italian beef and don't care for any other place that makes it other than Portillo's. Buona's menu is good and I can't wait to return for another item as well. I didn't give 5 stars due to the food not being hot enough and the wait time was far too long, 15 minutes.

    We always get our food to go and the orders are always marked correctly. Skinny bread with one each ordered baptized, dipped and dry.. one for each family member. One of my favorites to order for beef.

    What is this ? Give people what you charge them for, this was the size of a chip and this is supposed to be Italian ? Hard working people that go to a place to eat want to see there moneys worth

    Regular beef, dipped with hot peppers.

    Visited for national beef day, you get 1 regular beef with 1 free topping. I got a regular beef with hot peppers dipped. The beef was good, meat was plentiful, and the peppers were very good. The beef itself was missing flavor it was very plain tasting. A lil dash of seasoning, and it would have been perfect. Also, I ordered online for a 1045 am pickup and even though they were VERY busy, my order was ready at 1045am.

    Brought my dad here for a Father's Day lunch last month after he told me that he really enjoys the food at this establishment. When we arrived, there was a line of cars in the drive thru but we wanted to go inside and sit anyways. We walked right in, no line no crowd and available seating everywhere. After we ordered, we found a booth and sat down. Our food came out within a normal time frame. After I took the first bite of my cheddar and beef croissant sandwich, I could definitely see why people like eating here. The flavor is definitely there and throughout the entire sandwich. My dad got a salad and the classic sandwich and ate it all. It was a really good time. Customer service was nice. The place was clean. Food was scrumptious. And the atmosphere was pleasant. I'm sure we will be back for more soon.

    Clean restaurant inside and out. Good service. They bring the food out to you and clean up the dirty dishes and table when you're done. The food is cook to order so it's always fresh. You can't go wrong with the Italian Beef sandwich or hot dog. They also have other items on the menu such as pizza, salads, etc. They also sell beer.

    6 Pc Breaded Chicken Tenders

    I came to this Buona on Tuesday after getting my car repaired. I had a promo in the app for a free item, so I figured I'd come try a few things. I placed an order for pickup through the app, and by the time I arrived my food was ready. I was so happy to see that they followed my instructions in the notes for a lettuce bun, and it was so well packaged in a plastic container. I also tried their chicken tenders which came with 6 pieces, and the portions were decent. The chicken was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and it's definitely a hidden gem. Most people don't come here for chicken, but I decided why not -- yolo! I'm so glad I tried it. I'm really hoping their Italian Beef menu will be a bit more progressive for those like me who needs to be a on a yeast free diet, hence why I went with a lettuce bun. I'd love to see an Italian Beef bowl, where you can still have all of the shbang without the bread. This location has plenty of free parking on premise, the restaurant was really clean inside and out, and there were plenty of tables and chairs for dining in. The staff were all so friendly, I was greeted right away when I entered, and while I made it to the pickup area another member of the team offered help at the pickup shelves. I'm blown away by the amazing service at a fast food restaurant -- keep it up! I also got really lucky that they weren't super busy yet around 11:30am. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back. I do recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for fast food, Italian Beefs etc. They also have several locations across the Chicagoland metro area.

    I really like Jersey Mike's. Maybe it's me, but the sandwich seems like it's a lot lighter with the…read moremeat lately. One of the reasons I like Jersey Mike's is the fact that I didn't have to search for the meat between the bread. I stopped going to other sandwich shops because of the lack of meat. Maybe it's tariffs and/or shrinkflation, I don't know. I don't want to say it's the location because the sandwiches were better in the past. I just know that I'm paying what seems to be more money for less sandwich. I actually wouldn't mind paying more for the same sandwich quality and be happy, than to pay more and get less of a sandwich and feel cheated. If I can't be happy, why should I keep spending my money? I know businesses need profit, but big businesses can absorb some extra expenses...because we as consumers are tired of being cheated.

    I'm a fan of Jersey Mikes subs, but right now I'm not eating bread and decided to try a sub in a…read moretub and was disappointed. I decided on the number 8 add pickles and hot relish. I ordered online which was easy peasey. 10 minutes later I arrive for pick up. Staff was there and doing there job nothing spectacular about the service. Once I received my bag it felt light, but I just figured it was due to lack of bread. Get home and this bowl was pretty underwhelming and did not include any mayo or bacon. It lacked any type of flavor this was nothing like their sub sandwich. Overall disappointed and will never order a sub in a tub again. ALSO please double check your order before leaving and make sure everything is included.
