    First time at this location. Washroom was very clean. Everything was good. Except they were very stingy with the meat!

    Long drive thru

    I waited in this line for a long time; over 20 minutes, this place is busy!!!!! I would've pulled away, but I was stuck in the inside lane. The strawberry avocado salad is great! I wish they offered it with a different nut because I don't care for walnuts, but it was still good. They have well kept grounds. I like how they have a screen for you to review the menu before you get to the actual ordering screen.

    Hard to say if I would refer people to this specific spot! bueno beef is always good especially the locations with a rainbow cone attached. This location is great if you live in Mount Greenwood or Beverly but nothing over the edge to drive a long distance. I recommend getting the beef wet because for some reason it absorbs into the bread and can taste dry if you don't like dry taste then get it dipped

    I came to this Buona location for the first time today. I decided to come to this location since I needed to head to the Original Rainbow Cone in the area. I'm so glad I came. Special shout out to Kaylah (I hope that's her name. I found it on my receipt) who went out of her way to make my experience great today. She informed me that Buona does offer a beef bowl, which is a huge game changer for someone like me who can't have bread. I was also trying to redeem my birthday beef, and she made it happen by ringing me up as a regular beef but she added instructions to say make it like a beef bowl. After I paid for my fries and cheese cup, I saw and heard her tell the kitchen staff again to make it like a beef bowl, and the instructions were also translated in Spanish by another team member. I am truly thankful and appreciative of such great service. Everything was accurate and exactly how I expected it to be. The fries are some of the best I've had, outside crispy and inside soft. The cheese is melted to perfection, and the beef bowl was packaged nicely. The portion can be better, but I do love how there's a good amount of gravy to pepper ratio. I added giardiniara to my beef bowl. Kaylah was also very knowledgeable about what the regular beef already comes with. There's also free parking on premise and plenty of seats indoors and out on their patio. I don't mind a short drive, and I am looking forward to making this my new Buona location for when I have a craving. I'd recommend this location to anyone in the area looking for Buona and fast food.

    Italian beef dipped with mozzarella cheese and hot peppers!

    Chicago born and raised. I was in the area and craving a "beef" walked right in no line, no wait. Hi, can I get a Italian beef dipped with mozzarella cheese and hot peppers please" . A few moments later, the order was bagged up and ready to go. The beef was flavorful with lots of peppers just the way I like it. Good service here as well.I will be back!

    This is one of the best shakes around if you didn't see my fist review go read it.

    This is one of the best shakes around if you didn't see my first interview go read it. When I tell you, this absolutely blows my mind. It really does good people. Good food makes everyone so happy. And if you ask employee to do something, they always have a smile on their face and they'll go do it for free.

    I get the chicken salad I love it. Although I do notice there's less chicken and less blue cheese, but it's a great place to eat

    The Beverly location service is awful, the food is never made to order. This location is clueless when it comes to business concept.

    Food is always great. The beef is tender and juicy. For something different try the protein bowl

    Been twice. Passed it bunch over the years. They pack a lot into the space. The shipping…read morecontainers certainly catch your eye as you pass the building. First time I came in got southwestern chicken soup. Spicy without being overwhelmingly hot. Lot better than progreessos version of the soup. And a grilled cheese that came with fries. Grilled cheese is an outstanding sandwich one that I don't eat as much since I'm not a kid anymore but it felt all warm, gooey brought back childhood memories. Second time I came got jerk chicken salad. Flavorful, zesty. The jerk chicken didn't have the taste from like an actual jerk place but I liked it. I got the Maplewood fat pug for a beverage. It also looks like they sell beer to go.

    I wanted to start off 2026 with a great review. Me and my wife recently celebrated our 5-year…read moreanniversary together and I thought why don't we go somewhere nice in Chicago. I wasn't going to go to the Heart of the City! I wanted to come here after researching places worth dining in at. I was not disappointed at all. Parking maybe a bit of a challenge but this place is always busy and I can see why.Seeing how awesome their patio was, I'm sure this place is even more wild in the summer. The menu itself is very comprehensive me and my wife do enjoy is checking out their vegan menu . I personally tried their salmon burger and a boozy shake . Their food was absolutely delicious though it was a bit hard trying to find a seat to dine in at . I absolutely thought there was a second floor to this building but I was wrong. Restrooms are single stall . The food prices are not bad at all . The police are always here ordering food as well though I don't like that they're parked in front of the bus stop . Great selection of beer and other liquor as well . Since there wasn't any parking at all because the parking lot was full we did have to park a block or so away . In all honesty this place was incredible and worth my time driving out to Chicago for !
