The Most Delicious Fast Food in Milwaukee

Algonquin Sub Shop

★★★★☆ 4.4 (394) • $

"My wife and I have lived in Algonquin for three years with our family of 7 but have not had the experience that is the sun shop.Today we ordered ahead via mobile order and picked up a large fry and the Al Capone sandwich. The order said it would only take ten minutes and they hit it right on the nose!The staff were friendly and engaging and very on top of orders as over twenty orders were being prepared during their lunch rush.This unassuming shop is easily passable when driving through Algonquin, but I cannot recommend it enough. The sandwich, which is their take on the traditional Italian, is the BEST Italian sub I've had in quite some time. What is crazier is the fact that their fries are even better! Whatever they season them with is the key.We'll be coming back time and time again. Only negative is their hours of operation. They aren't open as much as you'd think they should be with how successful they are."

BUBS SUBS

★★★★★ 4.5 (316) • $

"This place never disappoints, the best sandwiches in the area. The ingredients are always fresh and meats top class. Both the cold and grinders choices exceptional. Always greeted by staff with a friendly hello, kudos their attention to detail while making your sandwich shows. It's as you get the prefect sandwich as though you made it yourself (adding more or less vegetables and condiments) . Your first bite into the sandwich matches exactly what you expected it to taste like.Also the potato salad is very good too. Place is clean tables available. Great alternative to fast food hamburgers and chicken."

The Spot Drive-In

★★★★☆ 3.9 (271) • $

"Not sure the point of ordering ahead on the app if you're going to sit and wait over 20 minutes after the time the app stated. And then we got cheddar poppers instead of cream cheese ones. It took car hop almost 10 minutes to even come to our car. And now I remember why we hardly go!!"

Cafe India

★★★★☆ 4.1 (229) • $$

"Always tell people that this is a must try for Indian food. Not only do they have a ton of great traditional meat dishes, but they also have a lot of vegan options as well! Most things are marked veg but be sure to ask if you're not sure as the staff is very well versed on what is or can be. The place seems small but they have a huge side room to expand for larger parties or busier times. There is always tv on and Indian Idol is a favorite. Definitely worth coming in for any meal."

Fratellos Hot Dogs

★★★★☆ 3.9 (196) • $

"Food is always good. Love the grilled chicken sandwich and the Turkey sub. Sometimes i order the cheese fries or onion rings. I usually use the drive thru, and the staff has always been very polite."

Big Deal Burgers & Custard

★★★★☆ 3.7 (177) • $

"It was one of those evenings where you need a quick bite and nothing is working out. My son requested burgers, my husband and I try to eat plant based, so we chose a spot that had both plant based and beef burgers and...closed. After a couple more false starts, we just needed dinner, plant based or no.Enter Big Deal Burgers & Custard. It was a warm late summer evening and we entered and the restaurant was also quite warm. They didn't seem to have air conditioning. That said, they had plenty of outdoor seating, so we opted for that as there was a nice breeze outside.I ordered the patty melt and cheese fries. The patty melt was ample and delicious with caramelized onions. The cheese fries were also delish. Our cashier was so lovely! She was friendly and welcoming. They don't really have any vegan options and for vegetarian options, they had a grilled cheese and I think some salads (obviously, I dove straight into some beef but better options were available).Appreciated the reasonably priced dinner for my hungry family!Get to it!"

Kewpee Lunch

★★★★☆ 4.1 (144) • $

"So good. Burger and fries under $10. Bring cash though. Need more kewpee burger places."

Avocado Express

★★★★☆ 4.2 (111) • $

"We needed a quick bite and decided to try someplace different. It's evident that this restaurant took over a previous business. We were pleasantly surprised by the service. It was quick and friendly. A no-frills place with low prices. Thanks."

Luke's of Lake Bluff

★★★★☆ 4.3 (97) • $

"Few restaurants deserve a 5-Star for gluten free items, but Luke's gluten free pizza was The Bomb!! Excellent quality and the toppings were very generous."

Luke's of Mundelein

★★★★☆ 3.9 (117) • $

"Good food and good service Consistently good no matter what you order. You can't go wrong with Luke's"

Tony's Submarine

★★★★☆ 3.5 (122) • $

"I've been driving past Tony's Subs for years now but it's never been properly lunchtime so I never stop, but a good old fashioned sub is definitely my jam. Having had the idea of going in in my head for so long I kind of had a picture of what I'd see when I finally got around to stopping in. Tony's Subs is a not quite that. It's a bit too clean, a bit too managed. Where's the guy in the black beanie with the dirty white t-shirt chomping on a cigar butt? Where's the naked disdain for the customer? Where's the grease and dinginess? This place is bright and clean, orderly, and everything is good and proper.Our sandwiches came quickly. They were tasty and the bread was fresh. I was confused to not find any chips in the place, which was weird for a sub shop, but then I looked up, and sure enough, hanging from the ceiling in tidy little military rows were all the chips you can even imagine. So, the joint is perfect. They've got it all: hot sandwiches, cold subs, fries, mozzarella sticks, even shakes and cones! I've only had the one sandwich so far, but next time I drive by I'm going to make sure it's lunchtime so I can try something else."

Sammies

★★★★☆ 3.6 (111) • $

"Person who was at register was not friendly at all didn't even ask if we wanted our food to go or to eat there very unprofessional but other then that food was great"

Taqueria Campena

★★★★★ 4.6 (60)

"Restaurant is clean, there are four, four seater booths but no public restroom. The lady who took our order was really nice. We came here for dessert. We ordered horchata and a piece of flan and it was huge and the best flan I have ever had! They don't have fountain drinks but this is normal for Mexican restaurants. Maybe next time we are in the area we will stop in here for lunch or dinner."

Antioch Pizza Shop

★★★★☆ 4 (70)

"My absolute favorite pizza. Truly the best around. I'm never disappointed with my food. The cheese is so flavorful it's obviously high quality. The pizza sauce 10/10. They truly do pizza the best. 10/10"

Big Jacks

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (110) • $

"Menu needed an update. Fries are hand cut, we had burgers, Itilian Beefs and a polish. Food was good."

5 Points Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (75) • $$

"The service was good, ambiance was OK there's not too much I can say about a greasy spoon. I ordered the gyro, fries and a drink. I went against my better judgment. I knew I just should have ordered a polish. Anyway if you need a quick bite to eat check them out and order something simple like a hot dog or polish. JS"

Sammies

★★★★☆ 3.8 (63) • $

"Basic sub place in Lake Villa for those looking for cheap ass food. It unfortunately isn't that cheap 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."

Fred's Frozen Custard & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (50) • $

"Great find!!! The service was awesome, the girl at the counter had on a hamburger hat, so was so friendly and helpful. We tried a cheeseburger and the BLT, seasoned fries and chocolate shake and witches brew shake. The burger was great it's greasy and messy in a good way. The BLT was also super good. Fries perfectly cooked and seasoned. While we were eating outside the chief came out and checked on everyone.Great burger!"

Burrito Express

★★★★☆ 3.9 (55) • $

"If you're looking for a taste of Taqueria Chicago in BFE Illinois, look no further. The burritos here smack! My coworkers love the tacos too. You have the option to order them American or authentic street-taco style. If you order a side of pico de gallo, you will get almost two cups of this heavenly garnish at no charge. The staff hooks you up for sure. As for the salsa verde? It's nectar. Everybody always wants to talk about how you rank as a culinary expert based off of how much heat you can handle. You know what? This fresh salsa verde is guaranteed to get you to stop in again all on its own. It's not just about the heat, but it's also about the flavor. There is more garlic to taste than what I normally come across and it's wonderful. The only thing I am going to change when I go back will be removing the lettuce from my steak burrito. I feel like the lettuce doesn't compliment everything else that's going on with it, and it adds a weird texture. I absolutely love how no refried beans were used to make the burrito. It didn't sit like a ton of bricks in my stomach. You gotta eat here!! Yum!"

Pallas Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (86) • $$

"This is a very nice restaurant. The breakfast variety was fantastic. Staff was very attentive and considerate. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were good. I definitely would stop here again."

Tamales Diana

★★★★☆ 3.5 (64) • $

"I have had good tamales here. Both their regular tamales and the Oaxacan tamles are good. My favorite is there Oaxacan style tamales. They are delicious. The difference between this style and the regular tamales is that the Oaxacan style are made with banana leaf while the regular ones are in a corn husk. They make a few different varieties of tamales (pork in red sauce, chicken in green sauce, peppers w/ cheese, etc.) but not all kinds are available at all the times. The last few times I have called them for tamales, they have not had Oaxacan tamales. :-(I like their tacos too. In this recent visit, I had their goat tacos. They were really good. I thought the meat would taste gamy but it didn't. They were the special of the day (on a Sunday) and the taste was on point. Aside from their tacos and tamales, I have only had their nopales quesadilla at Lake County fair which was da bomb.I like this place and would here again. I am due for another visit as I write this since I haven't had their Oaxacan style tamales in a while. Check them out."

Shake Shack Hilldale Center

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (71)

"Ordered a ShackBurger, fries, and new dreamsicle and tiramisu milkshakes for pickup. I grabbed the food and did a quick review to make sure I had everything and noticed the dreamsicle milkshake wasn't filled up completely which was disappointing. Most places it wouldn't bother me, but their shakes cost $6.50 each which I consider a premium price. If I spend $6.50 on a shake, I at least expect it to be full. I understand it is with frozen custard, but Kopp's in Milwaukee also makes shakes with frozen custard for about a dollar less and they serve you a full cup in bigger size.Their burger and fries are ok. Not my favorite in town, but decent. The staff are friendly as well. I just feel you don't get what you expect for their prices."

Dogs On the Chain

★★★★★ 4.6 (36) • $

"Always great food and staff extremely friendly. I visit at least 2 times a month . The machines pay out too!!"

Naty's Fast Food Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (37) • $

"Have you ever craved fried chicken, fries, and catfish nuggets with extra lemon pepper? Well, I did this week. So I visited Natys in Madison. The best Chicago-style chicken and catfish in the city! The only place in the city where you can get chicken, fish and a taco at the same place. I recommend that you call ahead and place your order. This is not a place where you sit down and eat but you pick up and eat at home. Another suggestion is to get the mild and the hot sauce for your food #iykyk. If you are ever on south-side of Madison make sure you visit."

Leo’s Chicago Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (39)

"Some of the best tacos around here!! They're never greasy and their hot sauces are SO good!We've had a few other items and, again, can't really beat their gyro for this area either. SO good!!"

Burger Hub

★★★★★ 4.6 (27)

"Dang! The burger and fries and top tier! Everything was fresh and tasted amazing!!! Service was good. You order and then pick yours up when your number is called. They have seating inside. A lot of people were coming in and taking to go orders. The restaurant is simple and convenient! I can't wait to try more off the menu!"

B52 Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (65) • $

"Everything is excellent, good soups and sandwiches!! Great service. Have been going for years!!! Love the airplane atmosphere."

Valley Inn

★★★★☆ 3.8 (34) • $

"Sometimes when I'm on my way home from downtown, my instincts take over and my car automatically guides ourselves to Valley Inn in Pigsville. Don't ask me where it is. I cannot find Valley Inn in the daytime. It's somewhere under Wisconsin Avenue. You can't get there using any GPS or Google Maps. You only can get there on instinct and intuition. And once you do find it, you're in for a great evening with most down-to-earth and friendly locals Milwaukee has to offer. This is just a great, old school hometown bar somewhere north of Miller Park, but south of Harley-Davidson's Highland Avenue plant, a little west of the Domes, and east of Wauwatosa.Find it. You'll be glad you did."

Tom's Drive In

★★★★☆ 3.7 (31) • $

"I 100% recommended Tom's it has the best food ever in my opinion. Everyone is always so nice and don't get me started in the food, from the cheese curds to the shakes it is all amazing"

Oasis Chicken & Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (18)

"A coworker brought in the some of the chicken platters to share. It was amazing the perfect amount of spicy and great flavor. Can't wait to try more dishes from this place!!!! Highly recommended giving them a try"

Zazing Primo Pizza, Chicken & Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 3.5 (31) • $$

"The only go to pizza place in North Prairie. Hand tossed or thin. I opted for hand tossed, which was pretty good. The Hawaiian had nice chunks of Canadian bacon and a small amount of pineapple would like to see more toppings. They are pretty quick on the order was less than an hour during prime time parking and friendly enough staff. Didn't get a picture of the pizza because so hungry forgot to take it, but it was very good. Next time. I will try the thin."

Buona

★★★★☆ 4.4 (18)

"Clean, efficient, foods great, the orders are always correct. You get your moneys worth!"

Culver's

★★★★☆ 3.6 (23)

"Highly recommended to go to Culver's by the locals in the area. Ordered Chicken Fingers with BBQ Sauce and Honey Mustard. There was also a vanilla milkshake. The prices were affordable.Not bad. It was decent! Found it fascinating to get a sticky note."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (20)

"Never a disappointment when going to JM. Food is always good. The service is always friendly. They can get a little busy during lunchtime but have enough seating room to accommodate if you plan to dine in.Alway my first choice sandwich shop because I can depend on everything being fresh the bread is always nice and soft. My goto sandwich #17 famous Philly or Chipotle steak and cheese. For the hot subs. And the deli subs, I love the fact that they slice the meat as it's being ordered my goto cold sub #13 the original Italian."

Root River Center

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (22) • $$

"After being closed for a while, this place recently reopened under new ownership. The new owners appear to be doing a great job so far. For their amenities, Root River has a bowling alley, volleyball leagues, and a banquet hall for parties and other special occasions. Also new: the Swagger Sports Bar. They are open every day for lunch and dinner. My husband and I were here recently for a retirement party for two of his colleagues. The banquet hall was very spacious. The hall can accommodate 200+ people and has a full bar. The staff was very nice and made sure everyone was taken care of. If you are looking for a place to hold your wedding or other special event, I would recommend checking this place out."
