Buona - Orland Park

Took my female friend here for dinner. She got a vegan beef, I got a regular beef. We shared a large fry. My opinion of the beef was it had a bit too much kick to it, not entirely sure what it was as I skipped the peppers. The fries needed a lot more salt but were extremely fresh and hot. Also I thought the beef sandwich was on the smaller side compared to most beef sandwiches. The beef overall with price, size and taste all included, a solid 4/5. The fries were a 5/5 when we added salt, 4/5 as they were served. Was $31.00. Vegan friend races about her vegan beef with vegan cheese. We also had I believe watermelon strawberry juice that was quite good.

I’m a big fan of Buona Beef’s beef, combo, and burgers. I actually like the burgers better here than Portillos. It’s a plus that it’s fast casual food that’s also gluten free friendly. Dietary restrictions: They have a really good gluten free pita that you can get with beef, combos and the burger. It keeps me going back!

Came in with my neighbor and mom. We all got the same thing to go, and I bought a cookie, I was very happy as there are no nuts in the chocolate chunk cookies. So I was able to enjoy them without worry. Both employees that did the transactions were super sweet. The Italian beef sandwich was delicious and the fries were perfect. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend.

Only issue I have is the weight I gain from eating all the delicious food that is offered. But that's on me.

Used to be a fan of this place. Now they serve combo beef sandwiches on bread as small as a hotdog bun. You can see here in the photo that they cut the bread longways smh
