First time here and they have an extensive menu. Lots of choices of hot dogs, hamburgers, salads,…read moreItalian beef and sausage and ice cream. We ordered a double cheeseburger meal ($11.99) with perfectly prepared Krinkle cut fries and a Gyro meal ($12.49) with those same perfect Krinkle cut fries. These meals came with drinks and we ordered mozzarella sticks as an added side (4.99). The cheeseburger is pretty ok and the gyro was really tasty. Service is friendly and quick. The dining room is not big but has a combination of tables, booths and counter seating and there is also outdoor seating. The restaurant appears to be clean and in good repair. I want to return to try some of the other menu items.

I came at 2PM on a Friday, pretty off time. Service was impeccable and restaurant and bathroom were…read moresuper clean. Whole place had a great vibe, a little more family style. I got an italian beef dipped no pepps with mozz; beef quality not good but they pack it in there so you're full by the end. The dip was interesting, I'm used to Portillos where it's a bit soggy but this was not at all, kind of nice it doesn't get everywhere but still some flavor, but maybe not enough. There's a huge amount of fries for the order that are crinkle cut and well done. And you fill the drink yourself (so free refills) but there's no lid on the styrofoam cups. Whole thing cost me $16.33; nice place, can't say I recommend this order.

We were excited about Big Norms. We moved to Waukegan and like hot dog joints. Here's our…read moreexperience: 1) Adequate hamburger. Nothing special. 2) Gamey italian sausage with "lumpy" texture. Ordered sweet and hot. The sweet peppers were microscopic. Bun-no texture--supermarket quality. This is a signature thing in Chicago but not here--mushy. 3) Wanted onion straws per their website. Not available. 4) Cashier was miserable--no small, nor personality. Over charged me! Told me it's automatic! I have no problem tipping when a waitress comes to my table. I'm obviously handicapped and I had to walk up to the counter, place the order, and then when the order is ready, I had to somehow out, juggle it to bring it back to my table. NO TRAYS! 35 bucks for two sandwiches some onion rings and a couple of soft drinks. Never again. There's better in town. I see no reason to return.

We were in town for my son's Navy graduation and were determined to find a place that serves Chicago style hotdogs and boy were we thankful to have found Luke's!!! We normally don't eat hotdogs but we had to try it to see what all they hype is about these famous hot dogs. Luke's has totally given me a new outlook on hotdogs! If you want a FANTASTIC experience, you need to pay a visit to Luke's!!!! I highly recommend this place. If I ever end up in that area again. I will definitely be back!!

Needless to say I won't be going back or recommending my Neigbor's.

A Great New Addition to Gurnee--Beef, Shakes, and Rainbow Ice Cream!…read moreI dropped by the brand-new Buona Beef in Gurnee to grab dinner to go! It's located on the west side of town, safely away from the craziest of the mall traffic. Just a quick heads-up on navigation: if you're heading east, finding the entrance can be a little tricky. You have to turn left at N. Hutchins Road and spot the side road tucked behind the tall swamp grass! Inside, the restaurant is beautifully clean. It took about 10 minutes to prep my order, which included two Italian beef sandwiches, a side of potato salad, a Caesar salad (both prepackaged), and an order of their arancini beef bites. You get three to an order, and while they taste good, they completely fall apart the second you take a bite, so be careful! I actually watched a video on their history and learned they use a commissary kitchen to ensure the flavor stays consistent across all locations, which makes sense. It's a solid, reliable local chain and a really nice alternative to the usual burger or chicken franchises. As a massive bonus, there is a Rainbow Cone ice cream parlor right inside the building! Our office actually had their truck visit us before, so we already knew how good it is. I couldn't resist bringing home a gallon of the rainbow ice cream, a slice of cake, and the four sugar cones they pack up for you to scoop at home. I even signed up for their rewards program. With a huge menu that covers everything from beef and burgers to fresh salads, it's a great, handy new spot to have in the area! BTW, service was a little slow. Maybe they are still training?

If you're looking for some good ole American food with a scrumptious shake, check out Sammie's!…read more They're totally underrated. I love their shakes and they have a bunch of options. I've tried a pineapple coconut one and a raspberry one. Both were fantastic. I've also had a chicken gyro, hot dog, and their beef/sausage combo. Everything was delicious and I would definitely reorder.

Basic sub place in Lake Villa for those looking for cheap ass food. It unfortunately isn't that…read morecheap however. Sammie's only has the cheap taste it seems. Mostly subs, but there's some other things to get. There's fries, gyros, hot dogs, and greasy slop like this. A lot like an independent version of Subway but not as good. In fact it's a pale imitation. The atmosphere is pretty depressing, and it's not exactly clean inside, explaining why so many customers get takeout. It's about $9 for a Veggie Sub, pretty high. Just has the basic vegetables. It's nothing special at all. This may be the healthiest thing on the menu to be honest. Has lots to get as far as sandwiches of course. It's just not that impressive to be honest. There could be improvement for quality.

Then I get a notice saying 8:20-8:30 so I reach out to grub hub customer service to find out out y its delayed and they tell me the driver is in route to get my food and it will b here shortly. A few minutes later I get a text saying my order has been canceled. So again I reach out to grub hub to find out y and they tell me that when the driver arrived at the restaurant they were closed and my order was never started. First and last time I'll ever try giving this joke of a restaurant my business

I'm mixed on this review so I'll explain. I've been in twice and once was great and once not so…read moremuch. The pizza is pretty good. Chicago area is a tough place to compete for pizza but by the slices here are just fine for lunch. The chicken wings are banging. Good stuff. My problem was the hot dog visit. One co-worker and I each got the two dog meal and waiting a fairly long time for being the only ones in line. I'm a south-sider and expect a Chicago dog to be good. These weren't. Luke warm at best and the bun was crumbly and not fresh. The fries were ok. This is a new location and right by my office. I will be back and really hope they get past the growing pains. There has been a few similar establishments on this corner so they need to come with the thunder if they want to last. Best of luck Kobie!
