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.

While I consider myself a foodie, I had little interest in driving around the Waukegan area the night I visited Anastasia's. At first it appeared to be a great choice--myriad people in the bar area talking, eating, and reacting to the televised game. I ordered a glass of wine to start; the pour was rather skimpy. Tempted to order another, I realized a single glass was on the border of my daily alcohol per diem?! I decided to forgo the pizza special for wings and cheese curds. The resulting dishes provided a healthy amount (see picture), however, taste (as other Yelpers note) was average. When you rack up $55 for cheese curds, wings, and a glass of wine, AND you leave feeling 'meh'--for me, Anastasia's is an easy, "Well, I tried it..." experience. I think my next two visits for work will be branching out to the surrounding area for alternative dinner options.

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.

I took two bites and put it back on the counter and walked out. Never did that before in my life.

I love the Shrimp Scampi and if you are into lamb, my foodie brother in law (a master chef in his day) stated the lamb shank is the best he has ever had - hands down. Great atmosphere with an owner who will be checking with you at your table, doing everything to ensure your meal is memorable. Worth the money - I have eaten here 20 times and I have never had anything here that is not outstanding. I have been dealing with fine dining restuarants for 46 years in the spirits business and have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the U.S. Destino's is as good as it gets - and it'sright nearby - kiddie corner from Great America.

Service was quick, the price was reasonable, and the matcha was perfectly balanced between all ingredients. I was tempted to grab a snack like a pastry or avocado toast for my drive but again was in a bit of a rush and indecisive! This will definitely be a go to coffee/matcha spot when I'm in the area!

With St Patrick's Day coming up, my boyfriend and I were craving a Rueben. Where better to go than…read morea deli! We got there about 3 pm on Sunday (March 8) and the place was nearly empty. 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.
