Wow! Driving by here many time and finally stopped in. For those doing the same, your missing out. I got just the Philly steak n cheese. Mouth watering. Doesn't look the prettiest but then again all I got on it was cheese n onions. And it was still delicious!! Every bite!! I can't wait to try the deserts! Bomb Phillys though!
CYOC is simply the best! My wife and I live in Fox Lake, so we were regulars at that location, but now that it's closed down, we make the drive to Waukegan because it's just that good and the staff is incredible. I had been on the waiting list for their seasoning(also the best), so I asked the woman here if they had any to sell, and she said they didn't, but then proceeded to go in the back and fill up an entire cheesecake container with seasoning FOR FREE. Like I said, the staff has always been top notch. If the wonderful woman that helped me sees this, please know that my wife is going to absolutely lose her mind when I bring this seasoning home! If you've been on the fence about trying them, don't wait, just go.
I decided I wanted to try this location. On a Tuesday evening about five p.m. This location was really clean. The young lady that took my order was very nice and patient. I didn’t know what I wanted. I decided to try the Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Supreme combo meal. It was kind of expensive but it was so worth it. Cooked fresh to order, plenty of French fries and a Dr. Pepper.
With all honesty, the food was better than what I expected. I got the Philly cheesesteak fries and this meal was rich in flavor. Fries were seasoned to perfection. They use quality steak! Veggies and cheese was fresh. Will be back.
CYOC has always been a great place to eat. Tonight, we went to the Waukegan location. There was no ice in the drink machine. No napkins and no paper towels in the bathroom. The sandwiches were great and the fries good. The drink machine had one spout not working (that's better than the N.C. one which has multiple broken ones or just out of stock).
It's sad that the Fox Lake one closed and I fear that maybe this might be a sign of possible futures for the two remaining. I hope not because they make great food.
Pretty good little place, friendly people, and fast service. It was pretty tasty, I went with the “chicken works” cheesesteak sandwich. The chicken was a little bit too salty in my opinion, so next time I’d probably tell them to not add any extra salt. Otherwise pretty good. I didn’t try any of the cheesecake though.
Tried this today for the first time, very tasty! Fries are seasoned well, the chicken deluxe Philly was more food than anticipated, definitely a good value. The cheese cake is delicious too, I thought with so many flavors it might be too generic but it was great. Only downside is it was a long wait for delivery (45 minutes at lunch time), but it's a 5 minute drive so I just picked up.
Love their food! Really good flavor and fills you up! Best steak n cheese sandwich ever! Their fries have the best flavor!
They also have bomb cheesecake! All different kinds of flavors. Kind of expensive, but worth it!
I had the king philly chicken and steak. It was delicious, flavorful and juicy, and there's like a dozen different cheeses to choose from to top it with. The fries are seasoned and crispy. And the sandwich was massive, easily two meals for me.
Good food, at a reasonable price... They advertise philly cheese steaks... Not quite the same, but still good... Very friendly staff...
