Bellalukes

This was my first time trying Bellalukes in Lake Zurich, and my review is based solely on the beef/sausage combo I ordered. The sandwich itself was decent in both size and flavor, and the fries were very good—they made them well-done just as I requested, which I appreciated. However, my main complaint is with the giardiniera. The cup they provided was tiny and half-filled with oil, leaving very few actual peppers. There’s no way that amount would be enough for a sandwich like this, and I’m certainly not going to dump all that oil onto it. When I asked for another small cup of peppers, I was met with a bit of resistance, which was disappointing. I’m new to the area but grew up in Chicago, surrounded by some truly top-notch beef joints, so my expectations come from that experience. I would

The food is EXCELLENT! We typically order the Italian beef or the combo which are full of amazing flavor. Our other favorite is the Chicago dog. Always fresh and perfect. And the fries…. hot, fresh, and the absolute BEST! Service is always courteous and prompt. The eating area is always clean. My only negative would be that it’s typically on the chilly side in the dining area. We’ve been to Island Lake too, but find Lake Zurich to be better. Keep doing your best and don’t change a thing aside for a few degrees on the thermostat! :)

I usually love this place, and have been coming here once a week for a long time. Their portions are large, and the fries are usually great, but not this time. I went through the drive thru at 12:06 pm 1-16-26 as I had a busy day with a lot of errands to do, and as soon as I reached in the bag for a fry, uh oh, it was bad news. They were half way cooked, if you held one up it would bend over and fall as it was a limp, soggy, greasy mess. I contemplated turning around and returning them, but I was already a town away and had a lot more stops. Usually the fries are cooked and crispy, this was the first time this happened. The hot dog was hot and the drink was good, and for these reasons I gave two stars instead of one. What really made me sit down and write this review though is the t

Very friendly staff...it was my first time here and was treated very nice. Food came out quick and hot. Nice portion of fries...crispy and perfect amount of salt added. Definitely will be back...worth the trip from Aurora.

Disappointing. Bellaluke's has been very good in the past but this visit was a bust. Overpriced ($21 for burger, small fries, small shake) and poor quality for the burger and shake. Fries were fine. Requested no lettuce (hate it!) and the hamburger was slathered with it. :(
