Buona Italian Beef & Giardiniera Pizza
Felicia D.

Had the Italian beef pizza and came to write about how good it was! My son normally has a pizza while I get a beef sandwich. Well today I decided to try the pizza with the beef and it was so tasty, and the giardinera on it add some tang and made jt amazing. We also had shakes which are so good here. Service was great also - we picked up and it was ready to go. No complaints.

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

Cheese Cup

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!
Paula W.

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.

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.

Au Cheval was unfortunately a pretty disappointing experience for us. We arrived around 5:30 PM and…read morewaited nearly 2.5 hours for a table of four. We understood that it was busy, but being texted that our table was ready only to wait another 15 minutes in a tiny entry hallway was frustrating. When I asked for an update, the hostess was dismissive, which made the situation even more unpleasant. Once we were finally seated, it took about 10 minutes for our waitress to greet us. We ordered wings and single burgers. The food was hot, but our burgers and fries came out at completely different times because the kitchen was supposedly "backed up." For the price and the hype surrounding this place, I expected a much better overall experience. The burger was decent, but honestly, nowhere near worth a 2.5-hour wait, and the prices felt high for a burger and fries. I can appreciate that restaurants get busy, but the communication, service, and timing of the food could have been much better. Overall, I wouldn't wait 2.5 hours to eat here again. The food was okay, but the experience just wasn't worth it.

Yesterday, my colleague and I went to Au Cheval and I'm still in awe. We went without a reservation…read moreduring lunch and had a 30 min wait. We were sat at the bar in front of the chefs who were back there whipping it up. We ordered the Roasted Bone Marrow which was ahhh-freaking-mazing! It was the perfect balance of salty and savory. It was served with toast. I ordered a lemonade which was yummy. She ordered a coke. We both ordered burgers and an order of fries to share. They came huge and very good. I kept mentioning that my fries were one of the best. We are kindly given a key lime pie which was to die for. I'm not even a dessert person and I couldn't stop eating the slice. I will be back the next time to I visit!
