The food definitely stands out in terms of quality. It is most comparable to places like Canes , with the chicken/fries/toast combo. However they excel in comparison with their dirty sodas and other food offerings. The fries, cheese curds and Texas toast are all delicious snack options. Everything comes out hot and cooked to order. The portions are a good size and it all tastes fresh. The dirty sodas were a fun thing to try out. During my visits, I tried the "Toasty Marshmallow" (Mr Pibb) and the "Float On" (Barqs) . Both are sweet combinations and are fun treats. There's a lot here that makes them stand out from most fast-casual places and overall provide a quality dining experience.

It's in the pricier side, but in line with Canes and others in this space.

Perhaps we'll give it another shot, but never had that happen before, where not one, but everyone in the group got sick.

We went to Johnnie's Beef for a $7 Italian beef sandwich…read more The gentleman at the register took my money, but failed to give me a receipt with an order number. I thought nothing of it... Until 5 minutes later. "Beeg mija!" a middle-aged lady yelled from behind the counter. Her eyes darted angrily around the diner, looking for a landing strip for her palpable annoyance, "Beeg! Mija!" The gentleman behind the counter glanced nonchalantly in my direction. "BEEG MIJA!!!!" she screamed. I stared at her from across the restaurant, confused. Our eyes locked like a heat-seeking missile from a 1980s action flick, finding its target. She thrust a stubby index finger in my direction, "Ju! Beeg mija!" I walked to the counter, "Italian beef?" "Jes, da-meet! BEEG MIJA!" she hollered, incensed, and threw the bag in my direction. I intuited she must have been attempting to say, "Big meat. Hot." Mind you, that STILL made no sense. "How the &$@ would I have gotten that from that?!" I hollered. "EETS'A BEEEEEG MI-JA!" "Ok, lady."

It has the unique Dr. Pepper flavor mixed with Portillo's vanilla shake and then blends an entire slice of house-made chocolate cake straight into the cup. It is definately worth trying.

Ok. I get it. Wisconsin's finest, right? After a couple earlier "not so fantastic" visits I…read moredecided to get a plain 1-patty hamburger (no cheese) and the grilled chicken sandwich. A bit pricey- almost $15 for those two alone! So let's do a drive-thru review: 1- service was quick, but they quickly slap a number on your rear view mirror and tell you to go park and wait. I went and did that. 2 - while waiting, I noted it took about 6 minutes for the sandwiches to come out. 3 - The guy who brought out the food was nice and pleasant - natch. Now- I decided to look at the hamburger first. Not too big. The burger bun was almost chilly, not warmed up at all. A bit of mayo too - not a bad thing. First impression of the hamburger: kind of meh. No real "flavor" to it. Hardly any salt or pepper. There was nothing that said "savory" to me. and the bun just was sub-par. I think it was supposed to be a butter burger bun, but Culvers? You're skatin' here. This bun should be warm ir not mildly toasted! So- it was "meh". The grilled chicken sandwich- same bun issue as above, sorry to say. And the same lack of spice-flavors. The chicken was just- meh. Culvers - THIS is why I'm not enamored with you. There's no effort, only a high price. Give me a bit more flavor. Give me buns that feel like they didn't just come outta the cooler - as these did. I'll then be back. But for some reason I just don't see that changing. Culver's is too invested in this poor experience to try just a bit harder. And more's the pity, as I really, really wanted to like them.

I honestly do not understand the hoopla for the place as all they offer is chicken tenders, even the sandwich is chicken tenders on bread. Also the lack of dipping sauces turns me off big time. I mean I dont like Cane Sauce (call me crazy), but is it too much to ask for BBQ, Buffalo, Hot Sauce, or even Ranch for my chicken. Now if we do decided we want chicken tenders (as its the only reason to go there), we go through the drive thru and bring it home where we can eat it with the dipping sauces of our choice. Just a big PITA for chicken strips. I will say service is pretty good and the place has a decent vibe to it and the it is pretty clean on the inside.

Was out with Wife doing errands, she mentioned a penchant for a burger. I took a quick reconnoiter…read moreon Yelp and saw Kuma's here. If you read my Yelp on the original location, you'll learn I was quite impressed with the unique qualities of the bread and circuses therein. THIS store, however, is not a funky old Chitown corner tavern, repurposed into a brilliant resto as the original is. It has the appearance and feel of a corporate outpost with NONE of the intrinsic vibe and atmosphere of the paternal iteration. It's a big room, with an enclosed "patio" that had even less charm. One of the great things about the original is the non-exclusive yet cordial service, hinting at rough trade, yet somehow I believe this is a manufactured behavior, for fun. Kind of like if Ed Debevic was a hardcore outlaw biker. (IYKYK). The servers here were kind of cheerless, and aloof. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was yum. A wedge salad was next, and that too, was pretty tasty. So I started to think, "Ok this isn't the original Kuma's, but the Schaumburg audience is going to be a bit different than the Northside Hipsters". When you're aware of circumstances, attitudes change. Wife played it safe, eschewing all the ooga-booga burgers of the menu and just going for a regular burger, ketchup, mayo, tomato, onions, no cheese please. Cooked medium. I, however, remembered seeing someone on TeeVee having a "Plague Bringer" supposedly redolent of Garlic and fiercely chilli'ed. Right up my alley! I bid the Waitron to bring it with all speed. The burgers appeared shortly. Wife noticed the tomato on her plate had an unsavory black & grey area in its innards. obviously rotten. How the expediter ever let that get out of the Kitchen, I dont know. It was sent back an returned with an excuse it was a bit of olive that got mixed up with the tomato. I immediately checked the menu to see if they OFFERED anything, anywhere with black olives, and there wasn't anything there. I asked the same of the Waitron, and got the same answer. As wife didn't put the tomato on her burger, it was shuffled to the side. Wife said the burger was nothing special, And neither was my "PlagueBringer". The expected Garlic onslaught was nowhere to be found, neither was the anticipated chilli pepper sting. All I could taste were the french fried onions (the same ones you find on greenie beanie casseroles during your Grandmother's Thanksgiving dinner) heaped under the top pretzel bun hood. A segregated bite found the burger patties un-seasoned and not terribly tasty (both mine and Wife's burger). What a bummer. They gave a very small discount on the burger as an apology for the offending tomato slice. We don't go into restos with a defensive attitude. We HATE sending things back, and will only take a discount or comp if the kitchen or service ABSOLUTELY shit the bed. Wife had the queasies for the rest of the day thinking other vegetations on her burger (or the burger itself) had evidence of mishandling. Fortunately, there was no food sickness. Yes, there was heavy metal music playing very loudly throughout our visit, making conversation difficult, but I knew that would prolly be the case on the way in. The whole thing was disappointing. I was hot-to-trot about the original store and how they seemed they were taking a stand against any restaurant taking itself too seriously. It wouldn't surprise me to learn the folks who financed this outpost mandated some marketing fuck to whitewash the "Heavy Metal" concept, as seen in countless corporate restos based on a charming, small joint, and having none of its original DNA. Doug Sohn was so right to never franchise "Hot Doug's", lest the accountants make a pudding of his concept and vibe as they obviously did here with Kuma's I should have known when I walked in the front door and did not see a placard with the "house rules" nearby. It's a one star. The Old Fashioned and Salad weren't THAT good.
