    Beef with side of fries

    The meatball sandwich is delicious. We don't see the hype of the beef, it is ok but not the best. The staff is nice and the facility is spacious and clean with seating on the inside and seating on the outside. The portion size seems small for the price. Presentation is nice.

    Stopped here for a nice healthy salad for lunch. Ordered the new Mediterranean Salad w/grilled chicken. Could not believe the presentation, the quantity, or the awesome flavor. Staff was polite and attentive as usual. Highly recommend their salads. Just as delicious as their Italian beef sandwiches.

    I'm getting around to posting my review after several visits. This was my first visit to any Buona location as I'm not even a fan of Portillos and have eaten there several times. I'm not really an Italian beef person. I have to admit, though I did complain why Buona, this is a great addition to the area. Here's what I've had thus far. Burger with cheese - With everything. Cheese was an upcharge. This burger was huge as I couldn't fit the first bite, lol. Flavorful it was and cooked to perfection. The whole sandwich was not as flat as other establishments. Could have used other condiments on it besides ketchup. It was still hot when I got home. Fries - These were delish, hot, crispy, and seasoned crinkle fries. I eat these with SBR BBQ sauce. Yum yum. Chicken Parmesan - Had to try it and was not disappointed. I wouldn't order this one to go unless you separate the bread. But this was the bomb, lots of meat, sauce, and cheese. I did love the bread. It wasn't so think and heavy. The chicken was crispy enough for my liking. Recommend asking for it to be cut in half, it can be a bit messy. Overall... delicious!!! Salads - I'm not going to lie. I completely enjoyed the Chopped Chicken and the Crispy Chicken salads. These are very fresh tasting salads. If you can eat one of these bowls in one sitting, you're glutton for punishment and will be in a coma. These salads are huge and took me 2 days to eat. Very, flavorful salads. Grilled Chicken Sandwich - This too was a large sandwich. Flavorful, yes, but it was a little crispy around the entire edges of the chicken, but definitely tender everywhere else. If this is flamed broiled, it tastes as if it is. I'm not a fan of that taste with chicken. Rigatoni Marinara with Chicken - This was really good with the chicken. Noodles were perfect. I assume the marinara is the same as the parmesan. I'd order it again. Most other places, their sauce is bland to me. Not Buona's I forget to take pictures of the salads. Next time. One thing to note, there's an ice cream shop inside as well. I haven't tried it yet, one day. It's cold today, lol. Overall, not bad. I know I will return. Welcomw to the neighborhood and wish you all the best Buona staff.

    I'll give them 5 stars. Nothing negative. Bread was good, beef had good flavor, au jus was decent, fries were great. Wasn't the best Italian beef I've ever had, but it was fast, fresh, and delicious. I'd eat here again. Staff was fast and courteous.

    Kids beef mean with cheese fries

    Thrilled when Buona Beef opened a restaurant in SE Wisconsin! Absolutely love their beef and cheese fries. They have yummy salads and pasta too. I was disappointed to discover this location does not have pizzas on the menu like their locations in IL. Still definitely worth stopping in or driving thru, you will not be disappointed. The food is made fresh to order and served piping hot! You can get your beef sandwiches dry, baptizes, or dipped. The crusty roll with soft pillowy inside is the perfect vessel to hold the generous portion of Italian beef with their unique spice blend. You can add mozzarella and hot or sweet peppers. Also the restaurant is very clean and our dine in experience was great! Service was ok - as you order at a self service kiosk or at counter then they give you a number and bring the food to your table. It was Monday night and they weren't busy but there didn't seem to be a sense of urgency as I watched our order sit under the hear lamps for several minutes before being delivered to our table which was a bit disappointing but not enough to stop us from dining in again. We were one of three tables in the place so it wasn't like they were super busy. You can also join their rewards program where you earn points for food deals and their daily specials. Highly recommend. So Buona good!!

    Happy this location opened. In my opinion, the beef here is better than Portillo's. Have not tried the other items yet, but will go back.

The place is a mad house ... parking lot is full and be prepared for a grocery cart rally. Went on a Saturday morning. New guy in town for the experience. Multiple deli counters and fantastic choices. Service was excellent. Tried many cold cuts and salads. Hot dishes were popular with other shoppers but that wasn't a priority for us. Great breads to choose from. This old world deli is jam packed full of goodies. So many, we are returning today for another pass. Couldn't make it out the door without trying some of their chocolates. The triple dipped malted milk balls will put you in a coma. Highly recommend without any reservations. Allow plenty of time and grab a cart as soon as you enter. Bon Appetite !

We had already planned on visiting Franks Diner in Kenosha so we were excited to see that Tenuta's was just a few miles from Franks. After our excellent breakfast at Franks, we made our way to Tenuta's. We were both surprised and kind of excited when we arrived at an empty parking lot with plenty of spaces. It was when we attempted to go in that we noticed that they did not open for 15 minutes. Thus the empty parking lot. What happened over the next 15 minutes was something we have never experienced before. Cars began pulling in 2 and 3 at a time. People were walking up in groups to stand and wait for them to open. Keep in mind this was December and it was pretty cold outside. The closer we got to the time they opened, the more people that arrived. It kind of felt like black Friday shopping. People kept lining up and before you knew it, the parking lot was almost full. Wow. All for good reason as we got inside. Tenutas' is a one stop shop. They have pre-made foods, frozen foods, deli hot food, alcohol, of course some cheese, you name it. We picked up some Italian sausage, some frozen ravioli with their homemade sauce and a pack of their Italian beef. We really enjoyed the ravioli and the homemade sauce was delicious. Being a Chicago guy, the Italian beef was good, just not Chicago quality. The mild Italian sausage was very good and we look forward to enjoying the additional links that we have left. Very popular place that we would definitely visit again when we are back in the area.

I got the jalapeno cheddar brat, which came with your choice of potato and another side. I got the baked potato and pickled cabbage. Both were nothing special but good. The brat was great!

Brat Stop is a local establishment that's close to the highway and looked like something I could easily eat in the car, so I called in and ordered to go of a two brat plate with fries. I asked for a smoked garlic brat and a cheddarwurst, but I believe they gave me a Cajun brat instead of the cheddarwurst based on the flavor of the second one. I still ate it because I didn't dislike it and I didn't feel like going back to have them replace it, but if it was Cajun it wasn't spicy enough for how I like Cajun food. The smoked garlic brat was great and worth the $1 upcharge. I appreciate that the fries were battered and had plenty of crispy pieces in the box. Yes, I would stop again because the smoked garlic brat and fries were excellent, but I'm knocking off a star from this review for them screwing up my order.

We happened to find a spot on the side with the door that leads to the newish Tavern and being a bit hungry we stopped in for a bit. It is a nice little bar full of friendly midwestern folk. We sat at the bar and talked to the very nice bartender, the bar is full of several local brews, most we have never heard of. I think they have an open kitchen in the bar at times but today you could go around the corner and order food at the cafe and bring it back....so we did. The food is sandwich focused as you would expect. I had half a Pastrami reuben and chili with German potato salad. and my wife had a liverwurst sandwich..doesn't get more Wisconsin than that. We also had to get cheese curds, we can not eat at mars and not get them, I believe it's a law! The food is surprisingly very good and the beer was excellent as well. It's a great little place that I'm sure we will stop in everytime we go to mars. Very friendly people , great staff and local beer, can't beat that. The other thing is we had 4 beers for under $25, try that in Illinois. And don't miss the beer cheese and crackers that complimentary at the bar.
