    Grilled Cheese  French Fries
    Ethan E.

    Always a good spot for our post-show tech crew outings in high school. It is a pretty decent location for some hang time with friends but I wouldn't say I was too impressed with the food. The place is clean enough , though the interior has been the same for a s long as I can remember. The menu is also very big, with a wide variety of choices for all 3 meals of the day. The salad I had was okay. It was supposed to be a Caesar salad, but it came with way more toppings that one normally would. The dressing was nice, though the vegetable were wet so it didn't stay on well. I also tried the mozzarella sticks as I always do. They really weren't much to go home about, and I didn't enjoy the marinara a whole lot. I would also like to add that the plate presentation was slightly lack luster and not super neat, though I know this isn't exactly "fine dining" . The grilled cheese sandwich was my main, and it was honestly just ok. Not close to the worst I've had but I feel the flavors could have been brought out a bit more. It may have been slightly overdone, but I'm not sure that was the issue. The fries that came with were good, but that's all I can say really. The presentation for the sandwich was better, but I do appreciate the pickle inclusion. I think I will always have a soft spot for Continental seeing I have many fond memories of theatre hangs, and even a Bar-Mitzvah once in their banquet space. I do hope this place is able to last, but also able to be upgraded on the inside. It's nice to have these kinds of places in the area, so I wish only the best.

    Sweet and Sour Cabbage soup

    I have been meaning to stop by The Continental Restaurant for a good while and have never been able to make it. Boy was I wrong in not visiting sooner. I went with my wife and mother and we all thought the food was great. We started with some bread which was very good and then we had some soup. My Matzah Ball soup had the biggest matzah ball that I think I have ever had. My wife's Sweet & Sour Cabbage had such a flavorful broth and was chock full of cabbage goodness. My mother really liked her lentil soup too. I think we were all pretty full from the bread and soup and then they served our actual entrees. We tried out the West Coast Burger, the Continental Club, and the Chicken Salad Sandwich. All were very good, but we had to take most of it home due to filling up on bread and soup. Our waiter took good care of us and I look forward to returning.

    This restaurant is a classic of the Buffalo Grove area, Been here for ages. I've been visiting this place since the early 2000s The restaurant quality is good though they do run out of soup by evening rush, take note of this if you want soup best come earlier in the day. Green phosphate soda isn't available but they made a cool black cow and I had a good drink experience I hadn't done before so I'm perfectly happy. The hygiene audit is where things get messy. The women's bathroom is within acceptable limits but on the lower end of acceptable cleanliness. The men's room is outside of normal acceptable limits with damaged fixtures and aged units. Worth noting the women's room handicap stall someone was rude enough to leave a brown bomb in the toilet.. Come for the food, stay for the WiFi, don't use the toilets here. Seriously you'll regret it.

Our…read morelarge group had the entire restaurant to ourselves from 5pm - 11pm and it was everything a private event should be. Service throughout was consistent and of great quality. Staff members were on top of their game, taking care of 50+ people who were ready to drink/eat and have a great time. Whenever I had an empty plate it was quickly removed to make room for another. This casual yet elevated bar offers delicious drinks and food. I did not have any alcohol but from what I was told the drinks were strong and tasty. The food hit the spot for me. We were provided with a TON of food, to the point where to go boxes were put out since there was plenty to bring home. My favorites were the Buffalo Mac n cheese, cheese curds, and chicken tenders. They also had veggie options which I appreciated since this was a carb heavy event. For dessert there were cookies which was the perfect way to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth.

    Up to last review. Still delish!…read more I had the pot roast French dip with a side salad. It was delicious. One of my friends also had the pot roast with fries and the third person in our party ordered a quinoa salad, which looked delicious. my friend ordered coffee and they made a fresh pot for her. How many other places at dinner would do something like that? Service was very good atmosphere wonderful and I have enough left for lunch tomorrow!

I asked the other customer if they had ordered yet, and they said 'yes'. But, some worker decided wiping the tables down and informing me that somebody was "in the back" and "iss gon' be a ten minute wait anyway" was more important. So I said, "I'll just go across the street then" to which the worker replied "Fine". This location lost a customer today. I hope ya'll care about that.

Not the best way to start an experience. When I knocked on the door, it was opened by the cashier. I ordered and they happily accepted my coupon. I ordered a chicken sandwich, French fries, and a soda for $6.99 before taxes. Everything is made fresh. They did not start cooking my food until I ordered it. I could hear my food in the frier in the back. It took almost twenty minutes for my food to come out. I was especially hungry on this day and I did not think that the wait was appropriate for what I ordered. The food tasted fresh. The French fries were good but were way too salty. The chicken sandwich tasted fresh and had a good crispy crust on it, while still being juicy. It was a big chicken breast. It was a good value for the money. The sandwich was very messy. There was a spicy sauce that was put on it, that I didn't ask for and didn't like. The sandwich fell apart halfway through eating it. I did appreciate that honey mustard and ketchup dipping sauces and wet wipe were included in the bag. Overall, I found Crown's Fish & Chicken to be a new restaurant with a lot of potential to be great. I look forward to going back and trying some of their other items.
