Isabel Rodriguez If you aren’t going to Carmen’s for breakfast, you are missing out! We ordered several different dishes to try and they were all delicious. All homemade! I am not really an horchata person, but their horchata is amazing! The staff was very nice. 100% recommend.

Ed Brill Loved it. A classic old school red sauce Italian place with so much more on the menu. Friendly, attentive service. Solid cocktails and bar selection. Delicious breadsticks. Red checkered plastic tablecloths. Lots of variety. Cheese curds were inhaled before a photo could even be snapped. We will be back!

Michelle Barbosa I ordered the cemita de al pastor and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was full of flavor and perfectly seasoned, and they were not stingy with the avocado at all, which I really appreciated. The bread was soft and held everything together nicely. For my drink, I had the horchata and it was really good. You can actually taste the cinnamon in it, not overly sweet, just smooth and refreshing. I also ordered nachos with cheese. The cheese itself was very good and had great flavor, but the chips are homemade and for my taste they were a little too greasy. I would personally prefer them crunchier without feeling like I am biting into oil. Overall, great food and flavors. I will definitely be back for the cemitas and horchata. Just hoping the chips get a little less oily next time.

Sylvester F So many great things I can say but they will never do justice to visiting Poppy’s in person. Definitely one of the best stops in Waukegan for a burger, hot dogs, gyro or italian beef. The prices are great for the portions you get, and they never skip on flavor at all. Great customer service, staff is always friendly and the rare times I’ve experienced a problem they never hesitated to solve it. Parking is a little tight but if you come at the right time you will have no problem. Been coming here for some years and theres a reason I always come back, keep doing what you are doing.

Sylvia Najarro We had to switch our mother’s birthday indoors last minute and Juan’s Chuck Wagon was able to accommodate our party. We were a fairly large party and felt so welcome! Food was terrific, service was top notch and they even provided waffle sundaes to our party to celebrate our mom’s birthday! Will definitely consider their event space for future gatherings!

Stacey Davis First time visiting here and we were not disappointed at all. Not only was the place adorable and very pleasant. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!!! The staff was very attentive and helpful. We got the El mexi, the butcher skillet, and the western scramble. They were so delicious and ample portions. The carmel ice coffee were the best. Definitely recommend everyone visiting and trying the wonderful food here. We just wish we werent just visiting the area and actually lived here so we could come again often.

S Washington I love the heck out of this place. Food is great. I have yet to have bad service or food here. Wings are so big and crispy and hot off the stove. Staff are great, not too talkative, but always respectful and have a smile. Atmosphere is great too. The rice bowls are outstanding too. You will be taking food home if you order wings and a rice bowl. K-pop music thats not loud playing in the background. The Boba is awesome too. This is a must stop by anyone who likes wings. I drove 20 miles and this is my 4th visit in the last 4 months. Its worth the money. Thanks CM Chicken. Please open one in Southern WI.
