    Service was super quick! The food (classical Italian beef was juicy) fries were hot and fresh. The beef bites are to die for. The space d bright with natural light of the sun and the large hanging orange lights. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I'll be back. Good food

    Super friendly staff. Less busy than Portillos and I think the Italian Beef tastes just as good.

    Buona Beef brings a solid beef into town. Portillo's has been consistently bad lately and they have lost our family's business.

    Everything was excellent, cashier was friendly. My Italian beef combo was perfect. I will come again when in the area.

    Definitely would return to, I can't say whether or not it's better than Portillo's as some suggest.

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.

    I ordered (again) and had another fresh and delicious meal with the kiwi smoothie. Everything…read moreabout the meal was good, from the breading to the way the fries were cooked.

When they put the sign up I was so intrigued as to what B&B would be. Much to my delight it was Greek American style! I grew up eating along this specific fault line of American favorites and Greek classics, so I was psyched to see something like that around here. As soon as I saw they were open I had to stop in. They nailed it here. The clean diner concept was friendly and comfortable. The family run business was putting out, for my money, the best gyros anywhere around! Spinach Pie, another classic and another must have. I got one almost every visit. They did a great job with American stuff, and even a few Mexican style dishes too! I'd get the taco meal a lot actually, it was a great hearty meal. The Greek chicken plates and the lemon chicken soup were some of the best here, these guys knew their way around a chicken! There's plenty more I could say, it's been about 3 years after all... this is a big loss on the community. Nothing hits quite like this spot, it had become a go-to for me. Can't decided what to eat today? Go to B&B. Multiple people in the group want different types of food? Go to B&B. Craving something light? Go to B&B. Need a hearty dinner? Go to B&B. Well, now I can't go to B&B anymore. The area is less inviting without them, it's left a massive hole here that likely won't be filled. Trying to buck up... I'm wishing the family all the best moving forward! They are still running their Facebook page for the business, with a post saying they will have more information soon. Whatever they plan, I hope to be eating their food somewhere not to far from here in the near future. Goodbye for now, hopefully not sayonara. And thanks for the good times!

On this visit we ate in and ordered a butterburger with cheese, the "new" chicken sandwich, and a large fry. So, our order came out wrong. They didn't offer us a receipt at any point and apparently we had been charged for this order, which was a double burger with cheese, the chicken sandwich, no fries. They quickly brought me out some fresh fries at no charge, which I figured averages out the cost of the double burger, so no big deal... but they should be paying a bit more attention. The food was mostly on point. The chicken sandwich is advertised as less dry and more seasoned and it hits those notes well. A good sandwich. The burger was good minus the bun, which was maybe old or stale. The bun on the chicken sandwich was excellent so it was odd to see such a difference. The fries were piping hot. They're good quality but kind of bland. After, I got a Concrete. With chocolate custard, peanut butter, and marshmallow. Again, no receipt, and I felt like it was missing the marshmallow. There were a few ice crystals in it as well, so while it was still good it wasn't up to the quality I expect. The place is still a nicer sit down experience than you'd get at other fast food places but tables weren't clean and needed a wipe down. Feels like they're missing the mark here these days, but almost certainly the best fast food burger you can get around here regardless.

The ButterBurger with cheese was juicy, flavorful, and that buttered bun should honestly win awards. It's not my first visit, and definitely not my last.

And I'm SO glad we did!!! We've now been back several times. Each time it's been everything we hoped that other visit would be and more. This time everything was just as we remembered from back in the 70's when we lived near another location - only even better! The onion rings are so good - just as they used to be! A few years back, we couldn't say the same. The person I've been with has tried a BBQ sandwich and a classic Coney Dog. Both were delicious! I was pleasantly surprised to find they carry both an Impossible burger AND an Impossible chicken sandwich. I opted for the chicken and added lettuce, tomato and special sauce. Omg! Soooo good!!!! Perfectly crispy breading on the outside, perfectly done inside and a flavor bomb on a soft bun. I'm so appreciative that they offer two solid entree options for someone not wanting meat. All of our orders have been freshly made and of great quality. I think this might be the summer of us making it through the entire menu. We've done root beer and root beer floats. Im not a root beer person - but Dog 'n Suds root beer is different and love that it's the same it always was. I love that they still have the original classics from the original Dog 'n Suds days - and that they brought back the magic in those options. But they've also expanded their menu with a bunch of great new options and that's fabulous (looking at you next, Dole soft serve!) The place looks freshly painted and everything is in great condition. We've been opting for eating in the car with the tray on the window like back in the day - but they have lovely tables in great condition set up too. The entire place is so clean too. Service has been wonderful - attentive and friendly. And who can't smile with some oldies to bop along to. Did I just say 'bop"? See? That nostalgia is creeping back in. Something old. Something new. Everything fantastic at the Grayslake Dog 'n Suds. Give this location a visit. Stat!
