The food definitely stands out in terms of quality. It is most comparable to places like Canes , with the chicken/fries/toast combo. However they excel in comparison with their dirty sodas and other food offerings. The fries, cheese curds and Texas toast are all delicious snack options. Everything comes out hot and cooked to order. The portions are a good size and it all tastes fresh. The dirty sodas were a fun thing to try out. During my visits, I tried the "Toasty Marshmallow" (Mr Pibb) and the "Float On" (Barqs) . Both are sweet combinations and are fun treats. There's a lot here that makes them stand out from most fast-casual places and overall provide a quality dining experience.

It was FANTASTIC! I ate inside because it's all new, clean, small but still spacious and my tuna melt was the best tuna melt I've ever had! I will DEFINITELY be back for another one! It's all self serve and everyone was super friendly. There wasn't one thing to dislike! I'm a fan now!

After eating Fratellos hotdogs for the past few months, I got them tonight from Portillo's. YUCK!!!…read moreThe tomatoes were not fresh and mushy. The amount of relish that they put on the dogs made the buns mushy as well. I couldn't tasted any mustard either. They were just a huge disappointment. Lesson learned...from now on I only get my hotdogs at Fratellos!!! Also, it is much more convenient to order from Fratellos by phone and pickup my orders at the drive thru window. The service is fast and you'll always find a friendly face greeting you!

The food was generally good, however, the fries were a bit overcooked, and the chicken kabobs were also a little dry and hard.

I highly recommend having one as the place is a…read morelittle on the small side with a small amount of tables, two to three counter height rounds, and a bar with about five to six seats. We ordered some drinks (no one got alcohol) and some appetizers. We got the Low Carb Yuka Fries and while that is not my bag, they were good. I was pleasantly surprised. We also had the roasted red pepper spread, which everyone enjoyed. Two of us ordered the Ultimate Steak Sandwich. I opted to removed the caramelized onions. The other person let them on. I also removed the garlic herb sauce but replaced it with a chimichurri sauce. That really kicked it up a notch and was good for dipping the fries in. They're fresh cut fries, so they were good on their own, but the chimichurri again kicked it up a notch. We also ordered the chicken bowl, the avocado salad, and the Greek style lamb chops. We all loved our food and were too full for dessert. It's a quaint little place, cozy for intimate conversation or a night out with family and friends. I think the night was made a little more fun when a couple came in and was seated at a counter height table and were making out all night. It was a lot and gratuitous. The table next to them were visibly uncomfortable and that made it all the more enjoyable to witness. Dinner and a show. Who knew?

We continue to go to Culver's on occasion. We went recently and found them to be consistent with…read moreour earlier visits. I typically get a butter burger basket with a gluten-free bun. The meat in the burger is very good. Their fries are crips and tasty. And they have a good selection of fountain drinks, with my favorite being their root beer. While I'm pleased they offer a gluten-free bun, the quality of the bun isn't as good as I've experienced elsewhere. When it gets wet from the burger juices, the bun falls apart leaving a mess. I'd really suggest they try a different brand or make their own. Aside from that minor issue, Culver's is definitely one of the best fast food places in our area.

There are no Culver's in California, so my wife and I try to eat in one every time we go back to WI, IL, or TX. This time, we were alone after having dropped off my brother and nephew at the airport earlier in the day. So after a bit of thrifting, we came to this location (again one year later). It wasn't very busy at all. After ordering and paying at the counter, took back the tableside number back to a table. Drinks are self serve. The food came soon after, delivered to our table by our original order taker. We later realized that one can order directly from the table, using the QR code to have it delivered right to you. 6 piece Shrimp ($13.39) - coming with french fries and cole slaw. It's fried shrimp and was served hot, but the butterflied shrimp was small, with a lot of coating to make up the difference. Popcorn shrimp at other restaurants are even better than this. 2 piece cod ($15.69) - the cod was excellent here...thick fillets, served straight from the fryer. Definitely should have gotten the 3 piece. The fries were disappointing...it had been sitting for a while and were no longer crunchy or piping hot. Enjoyed the deli-style cole slaw. Both dinner came with a stale dinner roll, which we didn't bother eating. We knew we wanted custard, and chose the flavor of the day (Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch), using the free custard given for taking the online survey. It didn't work for me this time, with the peanut butter and butterfinger pieces making the already super rich chocolate custard, even more rich...felt like I was eating peanut butter cups..fine for a bite or two, but too much for me.

There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

Since there was a total of 11 and the seating is first come first serve, we decided to call to see if they had reservations. They did take our name and reserved a table. When we arrived we noticed a table was reserved and we were informed that it was our table. We sat and looked over the menus. When we were ready my 2 boys and I went up to place our order. My one son has major allergies so we spoke to the chef and he came back out to recommend the dishes he can have. It was great that he did so and gave us confidence that my son would be able to eat without worrying too much about the ingredients. I ordered the Shrimp Kalamakia with a side of the Greek Rice. My son with the allergies ordered the Pork Kalamakia with Greek Rice and no pita, my other son ordered the Traditional Pork Gyro with Greek Rice. The sides we ordered: Saganaki Fritters and Spanakopitakia. My son that ordered the Pork Kalamakia devoured it. He said it was tender and juicy and probably could have eaten 4 skewers. My Shrimp Kalamakia was nicely charred and seasoned, I squeezed some lemon and it provided a nice tang over the seasoning. The Lemon rice pilaf was soft and cook just right and was nicely balanced. I had one Saganaki Ball and it was delicious. My son had the Pork Gyros said it was really good and the Tzatziki sauce was creamy and rich with flavors. My in-laws bought the table desserts and I got the Baklava and my wife got Loukoumades (Greek Donuts with Nutella) and both did not disappoint. I really loved the citrus honey syrup in the Baklava. The Loukoumades had a crispy shell and nice a fluffy on the inside and the Nutella amount was perfect. This place is very good and well worth the price in my opinion. I loved the fact that they took the time to make sure my son with allergies was safe.

I tried the lemon pepper dry rub and the garlic parm sauce both were really flavorful. The real star of the show is the extremely crispy and juicy wings the skin was some of the crispiest and crunchy wings I've ever had in Chicago and with no breading it was amazing.
