My first review of the year is going to go to a place that holds a special place in my heart, as it…read morehas not changed since my childhood. The food still tastes exactly the same, and is absolutely delicious no matter what you order! The service is still impeccable, quick, and friendly. The character of the space even though the locations have changed remains the same. There is a casual feel with kind of a diner vibe as well and still has some of the old claw machines and the like that you remember from childhood. Whether you're getting a quick bite to eat with a friend, a casual fun first date, or a group outing, there is something for everyone. One of the things I love is that they do not rush you, and also they have the good ice. They offer Pizza, a variety of appetizers, pasta dishes, hot and cold sub sandwiches, and a good variety of salads. Like I said, there's something for everyone! Stop in soon!

What a hidden gem in an unassuming strip mall! We'd been wanting to visit here for a while, and…read morefinally made the trip after a long Saturday out and about. It was empty when it arrived, but filled up on our way out, telling me it's a popular place for the younger crowd. Either way, you know you're in for a good meal when you see the huge doner rotisserie spinning. The owner (at least I'm pretty sure he was the owner) helpfully walked us through their sauce selection and even offered my MIL some sauce samples. She ended up getting the hot dog with veggies, while my wife and I got sandwich combos (17 for the sandwich + 3.50 for fries and a drink). I was going to share my combo with my preschooler since they don't have a kids meal, but the owner thoughtfully offered some fries with chicken for him. We definitely had to tip well for such nice service. So this is no ordinary sandwich, and the pictures don't do it justice. In pics it looks kind of like a pita pocket, but this thing has some HEFT. Filled with veggies, meat, and sauce, it got a little messy but was really tasty. The veggies were fresh, and it's hard to top meat sliced right off the log. My MIL said her unique hot dog was good as well. To me it looked like a Chicago dog from another dimension, but I also want to give it a try next time. Protip: Ask for your sauces on the side. They're almost too generous with it on the sandwich so it's nice to have a little more control with it. This will definitely enter the rotation and will be letting our friends know as well. Great stuff!

Ordered there Saturday night for the 1st time. Walked in and ordered and the food didn't take long…read moreto cook waited under 10 mins. For the food Ordered the Triple burger and regular fries it was seasoned good and was a good smash burger If for the price it's not bad compared to buying a burger meal at McDonald's or Burger King. So if you want to support a local business I would suggest you trying this place out for a Smash Burger.

I will never give an order through the drive in at this location, they wait is pretty long to get your order. Instead I order it in advance and indicate a drive-thru pickup so that by the time I get there the food is ready. I will also say sometimes they could do a better job at packaging the food. When I pickup my food if I order a burger or italian beef its packed up nicely, but the fries are not. By the time I get them home they are already cold and stale.

My husband and I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was juicy on the inside and crispy/flaky on the outside. When we took our first bite it popped and crunched in a very good way! Yummy! My daughter is 10 and she loves the biscuits here! She is a very picky eater, so I am glad she gave them a thumbs up! Will be back again for sure! There are several wall plugs if you need to work during lunch / dinner!

It's quite unfortunate how much this franchise has slid down the totem pole these days, since they…read moreclearly have life left and a message to send. Steak'n Shake has become of my buddy and I's go to meal spots, even though the location that was nearest to us (Randhurst) has closed it doors for good (RIP). The ability to get a great milkshake and some great food is tough to beat, though I'd certainly rank some local establishments and places like Portillo's much higher. Every time we've been to a SNS recently, its been sorta dead. A few people roll in occasionally, but it doesn't seem to get jumping like it used to. It would be nice to have a more lively feel inside. The self-order kiosks are new but useful, so no complaints there. For starters , some onion rings. A classic fried snack, and here, they do em' right, a Solid 8/10 . I went for a grilled cheese combo as my mains. The sandwich was great, and I enjoyed every last morsel. The fries are okay, they tasted good but nothing to write home about. My buddy had the garlic double steak burger , and seemed to like it, though not amazed by it. Of course no SNS meal is complete without a milkshake! I tried the cotton candy one, and my what a delight it was. Perfectly sweet and just right touch of that classic CC flavor. My friend had the Butterfinger one, and he gave praise for it also. They got some banger shakes here, lemme tell you! A great meal all around, one can never go wrong with Steak 'n Shake.

No more taking your order at the table. Ok, so the ordering part was easy. I didn't quite understand the part where you get a scan code on the receipt on order to fill your drink. An employee helped me with that. I wish they would just fill the drink as part of the order. The food was very good. Hot and fresh. And those fries cooked in beef tallow! What a great change. I'll be choosing Steak and Shake more often. Tasted better and was less expensive than the place with golden arches.

Kid-Tested, Taco Snob Approved!…read more I was skeptical when my kids said their school lunch tacos and quesadillas were the best, but it led us to discover Manny's Burrito Express--and now we're hooked! Tucked away in the same plaza as Sprinkles, this place is a hidden gem in the Schaumburg food scene. I've tried tacos all over Chicago, and Manny's definitely measures up. The steak tacos, shrimp tacos, and chile relleno are all fantastic. It's affordable, family-friendly, and the owner is wonderful. Highly recommended for a quick, delicious dinner!

Been coming here for so long but sadly I will not anymore…read more The prices have become unreasonable for simple Mexican food ... a burrito is now $13.59 they ask for a tip and then add a credit card surcharge ...

I had a coupon for a buy one/get one offer but I cannot use the kiosk to redeem it. I had to use the counter but no one is ever at the counter after 7pm. They are all busy with drive thru orders.

I love Lucky Monk. My friend and I have come here a few times for Happy Hour because they have…read moregreat Happy Hour food deals, which I appreciate a lot as someone who doesn't drink much. The deal is half off apps, but if you enjoy an adult beverage, the house-brewed drafts are also half off. M-Th 3-6pm, dine-in only. At least that's what it is right now. I feel like it changes, so maybe call beforehand to confirm. I only got pics of the nachos this time, which really doesn't do it full justice because they're bigger than they look in the photo. Food is always good and consistent, there's nothing really to complain about regarding service or prices, and parking has always been really easy, though that could be because we typically go on Tuesdays. I imagine weekends could be a little bit busier, but the place is pretty big, so even if you have to wait, I don't think that you'd be waiting that long. The vibe is also casual and low-key.

I get together with old friends once a month at various restaurants. On this visit, there was just…read morethree of us. I chose this place for this month's lunch. I had been here with my daughter about 12 years ago and remembered enjoying it then. We all had burgers and craft beer. My friends went with the Mad Max (burger of the month) and I went with a peppercorn and blue cheese burger. It was thumbs up for all of us on the burgers as well as the beer, which was unique and delicious. I took no pictures that day and just enjoyed the outing with friends, but I was especially impressed with the taste of my burger. I abstained from adding any of my usual condiments, and decided to try it as is, with just their sauce. Best decision ever! The sauce was amazing and the burger was cooked a perfect medium. Like many restaurants, Luck Monk offers their regular menu, plus flyers on their specials, including beers and cocktails. Four days later, I went right back there again on my own, to formally review it with photos. I had to go with that same peppercorn burger, because it was just so good, and to make sure the first time was a fluke. It wasn't. I tried out their chili as well, which was also good. This chef knows what he is doing. This stand alone restaurant is easy to get to, and has ample parking. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and looks high end, though I found the pricing to be reasonable. It would be a great spot to take clients for a business lunch. It's elegant looking , but unpretentious. The hostess and servers are wonderful. I highly recommend the Lucky Monk!
