If you have never had middle eastern cuisine before then you're missing something that the taste…read morebuds will definitely enjoy and what is it you're wondering. It's shawarma and the authentic taste of what comes together in an explosion of taste and flavor is undoubtedly delicious when you walk into the shawarma king your nose signals to the brain to get your taste buds ready if you're not already salivating over the smell. But once you've taken a bite you'll definitely come back for more and you will not be disappointed i have told plenty of foodies that are looking for something different besides the typical burger and pizza, so give shawarma king and your taste buds will appreciate it

4 Stars for Shawarma King in Gurnee…read more This is a pretty convenient location and directly across the street from Six Flags Great America, and also close to the 294 highway. The food I had was pretty tasty, I got to try the chicken and beef shawarma plate - very expensive but very tasty, big portion enough for 2 meals. I also tried the beef kifta kabob wrap with a side of falafel- delicious! They threw in an extra falafel as well, thanks! There is also plenty of seating inside if you want to dine in. My only negatives are they do not give free cups of water, you have to buy a bottle if you want a drink. And they only include one tiny cup of hot sauce with your order. Overall, it was a good experience, if you want Mediterranean and you're in Gurnee it's not a bad choice.

Told me to wait in my car and they'd bring the shake out to me and that they would give it to me as apparently I wasn't charged for it. I offered to drive around and pay for it to pick it up and they said no that's OK. We'll just bring it to the car. They never did. I had to call the restaurant then a guy came out to my car without the shake and told me I had to go back around and pay for it, which is fine. I offered to do that 10 minutes ago. Disappointed. Now I got a cold burger and nobody seems to care. A horrible service would not ever recommend a Culver's.

The lady that waited on us was very nice, but it's all about the pizza. It was still floppy and soggy, however, it was lukewarm at best. If you're selling slices, you can at least throw it in the oven for a few seconds to warm it up. It was flavorless almost had a weird taste to the crust. I took two bites and put it back on the counter and walked out. Never did that before in my life.

The prices may be a little high for some people, but you certainly get a well-made meal! We enjoyed the pulled pork with the cornbread, mac & cheese, and the green beans.

The service was quick and friendly The beverage station was Pepsi and right across from the condiments, easy to get in and out if you were in a hurry! There are different types of seating, whether you like high chairs, booths, or typical with not so typical design, straight chairs, and tables!

The restaurant is so much bigger and livelier and were so excited to see all of their success. Definitely come early to be able to try their brisket and Tony Mac!

Our waitress came quick enough to get our order, it's just that the food took a while. Maybe the side with counter walk-up is quicker. I ended up getting the catfish sandwich with fries and of course tried all the bbq sauces with the fries. The catfish was fried perfectly and the seasoning on the outside was quite tasty. Made for a very good sandwich. The fries were a little soggier/more oily than I would like, but I did use them to try the sauces. None of them were overly spicy, just a good flavor. I think my favorite was the Memphis which had a nice smokiness to it. For dessert I did end up ordering the key lime pie and was very happy with it. Tangy and refreshing! I somehow managed to save some for the next day and it was just as good. Overall, the food was good and the staff was friendly, it just took a while to get the food. There was a lot of to go business, so that's maybe the best way to order.

God bless you young lady.

A Great New Addition to Gurnee--Beef, Shakes, and Rainbow Ice Cream!…read moreI dropped by the brand-new Buona Beef in Gurnee to grab dinner to go! It's located on the west side of town, safely away from the craziest of the mall traffic. Just a quick heads-up on navigation: if you're heading east, finding the entrance can be a little tricky. You have to turn left at N. Hutchins Road and spot the side road tucked behind the tall swamp grass! Inside, the restaurant is beautifully clean. It took about 10 minutes to prep my order, which included two Italian beef sandwiches, a side of potato salad, a Caesar salad (both prepackaged), and an order of their arancini beef bites. You get three to an order, and while they taste good, they completely fall apart the second you take a bite, so be careful! I actually watched a video on their history and learned they use a commissary kitchen to ensure the flavor stays consistent across all locations, which makes sense. It's a solid, reliable local chain and a really nice alternative to the usual burger or chicken franchises. As a massive bonus, there is a Rainbow Cone ice cream parlor right inside the building! Our office actually had their truck visit us before, so we already knew how good it is. I couldn't resist bringing home a gallon of the rainbow ice cream, a slice of cake, and the four sugar cones they pack up for you to scoop at home. I even signed up for their rewards program. With a huge menu that covers everything from beef and burgers to fresh salads, it's a great, handy new spot to have in the area! BTW, service was a little slow. Maybe they are still training?

Terrible customer service, avoid this place like the plague. I contacted their online customer support and told them after spending $30 on 2 sandwiches I expected just a bit of better service. McDonald's has friendlier people working the counters.... I will never go to this location again, nor recommend it to anyone. read more

I chose the "spuds" (twice baked potatoes), and southwest chicken & avocado salad. -The salad was not great--avocado was a bit mushy, the chile lime vinaigrette wasn't the best either. -The spuds were not what I normally think of as twice baked potatoes.

The turnaround from order to table was pretty quick...and we found out why. The one positive thing about their Rueben is that it was LOADED with corned beef...albeit room temperature and even pockets that were cold. The bread was only toasted; the sandwich is typically grilled. There was hardly any sauerkraut and the 1000 Island dressing was weird (tasted like there was some horseradish in it?), This is near Gurnee Mills so there is a dearth of other, better fast food options. Would maybe go again and try a different menu item...but with so many other options, it would be a last option (aka- everyplace else is closed so not likely). Very disappointing.
