FAST FOOD OPTIONS IN DOWNTOWN NAPERVILLE: Sometimes even “Foodies” need fast food.

Downtown Naperville has lots of locally-owned restaurants that we have reviewed. It also has lots of chain fast-food restaurants. And as much as we love our locally owned favorites... sometimes even “Foodies” need fast food.

Burger King Address: 506 South Washington St Phone: (630) 717-1261 DRIVE-THRU HOURS: 6:00 am - 12:00 am RESTAURANT HOURS: 6:00 am - 10:00 pm $

Every day, more than 11 million guests visit over 13,000 Burger King in 97 countries around the world. And they do so because our fast food restaurants are known for serving high-quality, great-tasting and affordable food. It’s the original HOME OF THE WHOPPER! This location has been an icon in Naperville for over 50 years.

Chipotle
Address: 22 E Chicago Ave Ste 103 Phone:630-718-9420 HOURS: Mon - Fri: 10:45AM - 10:00PM Sat: 10:45AM - 10:00PM Sun: 10:45AM - 10:00PM $

Everyone craves different foods sometimes. I crave Chipotle! The fresh made to order bowls, burritos and tacos hit the spot. Chipotle is committed to sourcing the very best ingredients we can find and preparing them by hand. They understand the connection between how food is raised and prepared, and how it tastes. With every burrito they roll or bowl they fill, they want to cultivate a better world.

Einstein Bros. Bagels Address: 22 Jackson Ave Phone:(630) 416-9888 HOURS: 5:00 AM - 4:00 PM Menu $

Einstein Bros. Bagels is your neighborhood bagel shop. They provide freshly baked bagels, breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, coffee, and catering. It’s a perfect spot to drop in and get a quick bite or coffee. I enjoy their turkey sausage sandwich, smoothie, and Caribou coffee.

Five Guys Address: 22 E. CHICAGO AVE. RIVER SQUARE Phone: 630-355-1850 Hours: 11AM-10PM $$ Menu

Five Guys founder Jerry Murrell's mother always told him, "If you can give a good haircut or if you can serve a good drink at a bar or if you can serve a good hamburger, you can always make money in America." Five Guys has been a Washington, DC area favorite since 1986 when Jerry and Janie Murrell offered sage advice to the four young Murrell brothers: "Start a business or go to college.” The business route won and the Murrell family opened a carry-out burger joint in Arlington Virginia. Under the guidance of Jerry and Janie, the Murrell family served only hand-formed burgers cooked to perfection on a grill along with fresh-cut fries cooked in pure peanut oil. They have hot dogs, burgers, and sandwiches cooked to order with your choice of toppings. Don’t forget the fries and milkshake.

Jimmy Johns Address: 19 W. JEFFERSON AVENUE Phone: 630-355-9411 Hours: 10:30 AM - 9 PM Website $

The story of Jimmy John’s begins back in 1982 with a young man finding his way in the world. He graduated from Elgin Academy High School in June of 1982. He graduated second to last in his high school class, so his options for college were slim to none. By August of 1982, he had four sandwiches for his menu. By 2002, Jimmy John's had grown to 160 locations, with many operated by dedicated Jimmy John’s franchise owners. It’s a local favorite that is known for being freaky fast. My favorite is the unsandwich.

Mod Pizza Address:103 S. WASHINGTON Phone: 630-544-3471 Hours: SUN - THU: 10:30AM - 9PM FRI & SAT: 10:30AM - 10PM $ Menu

MOD is a superfast pizza experience. Artisan-style pizzas and salads are individually sized, made on-demand, and ready in just minutes. Choose from over 30 toppings – the price stays the same no matter what you pick. The handcrafted pizzas are then fired in our 800-degree display oven and ready to eat in less than 5 minutes. MOD also offers milkshakes, house-made iced teas and lemonades, and more. The quality of the pizza is as good as you can get for a fast service pizza joint, the crust is fairly crispy.


Noodles & Company Address: 207 S. WASHINGTON ST. Phone:630-369-3332 Hours: 11AM-10PM Menu

Noodles & Company is an American fast-casual restaurant that offers international and American noodle dishes and pasta in addition to as well as soups and salads. Noodles & Company was founded in 1995 by Aaron Kennedy and is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado. It is one of our family favorites for fast fresh noodles. Some of our favorite items are Penne Rosa with Chicken, Mac & Cheese, Butter Noodles and Japanese Pan Noodles.

Potbelly Sandwich Works Address: 236 S. WASHINGTON ST. Phone:630-579-1234 Hours: 11AM-9PM $ Menu

For those of you who love hot sandwiches in a casual setting, this is a good place. Long before sandwiches were toasted and cookies were on straws, Peter Hastings and his wife owned an antique shop in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. This quirky shop was doing well, but the determined pair knew they could always do better. In 1977, they decided to start serving sandwiches to their curious, collecting customers. As time passed, the little antique shop slowly turned into the neighborhood lunchtime getaway. With lines reaching out the door and around the corner, customers enjoyed toasty warm sandwiches, homemade desserts and even live music in this unique atmosphere. In 1996, entrepreneur Bryant Keil purchased the original shop and set out to spread the Potbelly love across the country, creating shops with the same neighborhood feel as the original. Today, the Potbelly magic continues as a publicly-traded company, with more than 400 neighborhood Potbelly Sandwich Shops across the globe. My favorite is the Flat Bread Turkey Breast Sandwich.


Smoothie King Address: 22 E. CHICAGO AVENUE Phone:630-946-6804 Hours: MON - FRI: 7AM - 10PM SAT: 8AM - 10PM SUN: 10AM - 8PM $ Menu

Every Smoothie is expertly blended with real fruit and fruit juice, nuts or veggies, plus the high-quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and more to help you reach your goals. They are committed to blending a more nutritious Smoothie — one without artificial preservatives, flavors, colors or any of the ingredients on their “No No List.” Our favorite is the Berry Punch.

Meson Sabika--What to Order at Our Favorite Restaurant

Meson Sabika is one of our favorite restaurants (period.) We love the food, the service, the Sangrias and the setting. Over the years we've had many awesome meals here with friends and family. You need to make a reservation well in advance for this one though. Visit their  Website  &  Menu After much experimenting and countless trips, here is a list of our top 10 favorite plates. This is a ranked list of our favorite plates, but the style of this restaurant is to order a few at a time and see how far you get. So we typically start with some of the lighter plates (olives, cheese, shrimp, etc) and work our way to the heavier plates until we're full. Top 10 Favorite Plates 1. Aceitunas Alinadas--Spanish Olives  You'll get a free sampler of these, but you'll want more. 2. Tostada con Centollo --Alaskan king crab toast points topped with avocado 3. Pipiranna de Buey- -Skirt steak, sautéed onions, and potatoes in a blue cheese sauce 4. Gamas a la Plancha

The Best Thing to Eat at Giordano's of Naperville

When you have friends from out-of-town, it's always fun to make a stop at a traditional Chicago-style Pizza place, and the Giordano's in Downtown Naperville is the perfect spot. Three of our daughter's friends made the 12 hour drive from their homes in Texas and Oklahoma to Naperville so we took a brisk walk to Giordano's. We tried three different pizzas and two salads and after an official vote, we can rank the best Chicago-style pizza and salad to have with out-of-town college students. Salads The Wedge Salad House Salad Tie: We tried two salads and the vote was a tie for the best. (But since I write the review, I'll say that the wedge salad was the best.) 1) Wedge Salad: This is not your traditional 1/4 head of lettuce wedge. It's spears of lettuce with fresh bacon bits and onion shallots. The ranch dressing isn't too over-powering and compliments the ingredients. 2) House Salad: An assortment of lettuce types, including arugula, which I lik

Naperville Farmer's Market--Now OPEN

Don't let the summer pass you by without a trip to Naperville's Farmers' Market.  It's open every Saturday (rain or shine) in the Fifth Avenue Station parking lot and definitely worth the trip. Location:  Fifth Avenue Station, 200 E 5th Ave, Naperville, IL Hours:  Saturdays 7:00AM -12:00PM (Rain or Shine) Parking:  Parking is free and there is plenty of it. Naperville's open-air market is sponsored by local farmers who bring their fresh fruits, vegetables, perennials, honey, baked goods, and so much more to sell. There are over 40 vendors with samples and stories about how their products were grown or made. The market is open every Saturday, beginning the first week of June through the last week of October. FOODIE PRO-TIPS:  -Most of the vendors take credit cards, but you can also bring cash. -As the summer starts to wind down, many of the berries and fruits seasons will also end. So go soon to get what's left from this year's harvest.

10 Best Ethnic Food Restaurants in Downtown Naperville

We have a varied taste with an appreciation for foods from different cultures.

We love going to restaurants with atmosphere and flavors that transport us to another time and place. The list below is our top spots for Ethnic Food in Downtown Naperville so far. Feel free to add your suggestions. 10. Green Basil     Vietnamese  Basil's authentic Vietnamese cuisine is delicious. This quaint restaurant is tucked away in east of Main Street with plenty of parking. The Pho Ga, chicken soup with bean sprouts and the Bun Bo Xao are favorites. This isn't the flashiest, but a great place to go for a nice lunch or dinner. Menu 9.

Phone: (630) 362-6872 Website  |  Menu Hours    M-Th 11am-12am, F-S 11a, - 2am, Sun 11am-10pm $$ A new restaurant opened on Washington St. during the pandemic - Hizemans. They describe themselves as an elevated sports bar with the  biggest & best TVs in the area, giant wings, & great food. Walking in we were impressed with that atmosphere and friendly wait staff. We would recommend it as a great place to watch a game and hang out with friends.  Our server recommended the wings. They were not traditional wings, but giant wings (like fried chicken) with different sauces - Classic Buffalo • Tangy BBQ • Hizaki Teriyaki • Chili Garlic • Honey Sriracha • Gonzo Sauce (Togarashi.) Of course, we had to try this specialty. He ordered the wings with the classic buffalo, tangy bbq, and honey sriracha sauce. Make sure you have lots of napkins for this yummy, messy dish. We also tried the Hizeman Burger, Bad Goat Salad, and Funnel Fries for dessert. There is a

As we enter phase four, that indoor area will soon reopen as well, once their current flooring project is completed. What we ate: Banana Nutella Crepe I am a big Nutella and banana fan, so I was excited to put them together in a crepe. It was sweet and delicious. It reminded me of a crepe restaurant I have been to in New York City in the Plaza Hotel.

Gyu-Kaku: An Authentic Japanese BBQ Restaurant

Phone:  (630) 536-8270 47 E Chicago Ave #108, Naperville, IL 60540 Website $$$ Gyu Kaku is a terrific new Japanese BBQ "Yakiniku" restaurant in Downtown Naperville that we are very excited about! While Naperville has its fair share of Japanese-style restaurants, this is the first traditional Japanese Yakiniku restaurant to open in this area. If you think you know Japanese, you're in for a nice surprise in this authentic Japanese Yakiniku BBQ restaurant. We lived in Japan for 5 years and love all types of Japanese food, but a lot of Japanese restaurants in the states serve a Western version of Sushi or are a Hibachi steakhouse where a chef provides a meal and gives a performance. We enjoy both of these, but we're especially excited to see Gyu Kaku open in Downtown Naperville because it offers a more authentic version of a traditional Japanese BBQ Yakiniku restaurant. What is Japanese BBQ--Hibachi or Yakiniku HIBACHI Restaurants:  Most American's th
