I've tried a pineapple coconut one and a raspberry one. Both were fantastic. I've also had a chicken gyro, hot dog, and their beef/sausage combo. Everything was delicious and I would definitely reorder.

Basic sub place in Lake Villa for those looking for cheap ass food. It unfortunately isn't that…read morecheap however. Sammie's only has the cheap taste it seems. Mostly subs, but there's some other things to get. There's fries, gyros, hot dogs, and greasy slop like this. A lot like an independent version of Subway but not as good. In fact it's a pale imitation. The atmosphere is pretty depressing, and it's not exactly clean inside, explaining why so many customers get takeout. It's about $9 for a Veggie Sub, pretty high. Just has the basic vegetables. It's nothing special at all. This may be the healthiest thing on the menu to be honest. Has lots to get as far as sandwiches of course. It's just not that impressive to be honest. There could be improvement for quality.

The meat and cheese was freshly sliced, the veggies were perfect, they understand what "extra pickles" means, and their spicy peppers were lights out. It's a bit divey, but in the best way.

Not horrible but nothing to write home about. This is a pic of a the largest turkey sandwich they offer; like no meat on there Definitely need to add some more meat or offer an "extra meat" option. The food was tasty on a scale of 4 stars but the high price, lack of meat, and kind of messy built sandwiches bring it down to a 3 star. Try for yourself, I'm happy to support local and pay a bit more but needs to offer more, especially to retain new customers. Also.....when the sandwiches were being made I wasn't asked what condiments I wanted on anything, I think all of the meat used was cheap....it also seemed like an imposition to be a customer ordering food from them, mom and daughter didn't give the most welcoming, friendly or helpful vibe. not much love or appreciation shown for $100+ purchase

The big bro…read morehot chicken sandwich is amazing, the wings are huge, this is the only place I order fries from, I branched out last week for the chicken tikka (amazing) and this week I tried the butter chicken- it was soooooooo good. The boba drinks are great too! It does take awhile for the food to be prepared because each order is made fresh, but if I don't feel like sitting in there for too long I order online and pick it up. It is always worth the wait!! Everyone there is super friendly! This is one of our favorite places to go to.

I wanted to love this spot, but it's definitely far from perfect. The place itself is bigger than…read moreit looks which makes dine in an actual option. Unfortunately it's not very clean... so that's not a very appealing choice. Dirty tables, sticky floor, empty boxes strewn about. It doesn't show much care for the business, which is a huge red flag. They have a very limited menu and it's not very logical. We had the broasted chicken, a two piece, and the number 2 meal. So the broasted chicken was good. The piece weren't as big as I would have liked but had good flavor and doneness. The tender that came with my meal was quite good, the spice level was accurate for my heat level choice which is hard to achieve. It was a bit on the salty side. The slider... first of all this is not a slider, it's basically a full sized chicken sandwich. It was overdone. Good flavor but tough. The fries were fine, nothing special but not bad. They have pictures on the wall that don't represent their actual food. I always hate when businesses use these generic stock photos. They even have a poster for a latte they don't actually have on the menu. Everything was made fresh at least, it didn't take too long to come out but it was obviously prepared to order. If they would clean up a bit and work on their inconsistencies I could see ordering here regularly, but as it stands I won't be back for a while.

It was so fun to find it on a corner like a standalone house with a full parking lot. They also have an enclosed patio which I can only imagine would be so fun during the summer. We got the cherry cordial cold brew, and the matcha flight. The cold brew was good, it had the hints of cherries with in. I loved the matcha flight, honestly the vanilla matcha as basic as that sounds was my absolute favorite but I cannot wait to try the chai flight! For breakfast I got the caprese sandwich and my husband got the breakfast burrito and we split it. Both were great, the caprese sandwich was delish! I keep thinking to myself I need to try to make that for breakfast now because it was that good! And for our sweet treat dessert we got the carrot cake whoopie. It was good but it felt like there was too much cake to the filling ratio, I almost feel like it needed to be half the amount of cake. Overall a great experience! The staff was nice and the shop was so cute to hang out and work in! Can't wait to come back and try more.

We live over an hour away but if we lived closer, I would be there at least once a week. Prices are great, food/meat is really high quality and fresh and it's all made to order fast. Will come again whenever I am in the area.

The brisket was better than the pork. The only thing I wished was that I wanted it to be more smoky. The barbecue pork was decent, but I would definitely want to try the ribs during the weekend. He was very nice and very accommodating and added in some sweet pickled jalapeños, which were phenomenal. The brisket sandwich was definitely a good hit. Had the coleslaw and mac & cheese...and that was not bad at all!Had a little bit more mayo than expected with a tad of vinegar, which was OK. Overall, it was a very good lunch/dinner. (by the way, I liked the Kansas City better than the Texas but Texas sauce was also very good! They make their own homemade sauce by the way ) Nick was a great conversational piece and they are going to be starting with a food truck pretty soon which is gonna be pretty neat. He does take a lot of pride in his work, and it shows! So I guess keep an eye open for that. Nice job, Nick. I'll give you the next star an update this review once I have your ribs. Is that a Deal? (because I'm a big-time rib guy.) Thanks again Nick!

The smash burgers are as good as they sound from the menu, and the fries are amazing too, I'm usually not a fan of the coated fries but however they make them here they do it right. Their homemade cucumber side dish is great too. Very nice alcoholic drink selection, soda wise they do have Pepsi but don't let that influence you, the place is a really great one to stop at. Parking was plentiful but it was a little odd trying to find the place, I'm guessing mid summer it's tough to get a table so be prepared. Michelle at the bar is fantastic too! We will definitely be back for that smash burger and to try more of the menu.
