I am a tried and true GGG (and anything Guy Fieri) fan. I was in the area for work and started researching GGG locations. Paradise Pup was the closest to my hotel and looked great so I gave them a try. It did not disappoint. It is a to go restaurant but has picnic tables in front. When I went it was about 40 degrees but they had a steady stream of patrons. The service was very friendly. I got a burger which was featured and onion rings. The burger was soooo delicious. To be honest, the onion rings...were typical onion rings. Good but nothing exceptional.

I've been coming here for years and it is always amazing. One of my favorite burgers around, ever. Thick CHAR grilled meaty patties on a sesame hallow roll. Super nice folks running it too. Very Limited Parking. Come Hungry.

Hamburger with Fries
This restaurant is a gem. The prices are very reasonable for the quality that you get. Forget those mystery meat McDonald's burgers and come here. Service is very friendly too. I got the Char Swiss Burger and throughly enjoyed it. The chocolate banana shake was great too.
Parking is a little limited. You order at the front window and are given a little fob that rings when your order is ready. Easily the best burger place I've been to ever.

I have no idea how an establishment that, from the outside, appears the same as any other dog/burger/beef joint out there, smashes it clean outside the park with their grub.
One of my best friends recommended we go here as we take our burger game seriously. Now how to phrase this...y'all have no business cranking out burgers this incredible 😂 like... seriously, an absolute flavor nuke.
Perfectly done fries, a superb and thick patty of beef done to *perfection*, only thing I missed was a soda to wash it all down.
Only real issue here is the distance from where I live in Lake Forest, to Des Plaines. I literally cannot wait to come back. 🍔🍟🥤😍🤩

You have to go for the cheddar burger. Huge and juicy. One of the best I've ever had. Onion rings are above average too. I highly recommend

Cheddar Bacon Burger
The food was good, the parking was bad. That's the short version of this review if you only want to read 2 lines. This business has little parking and the parking available is very tight and hard to pull into. I have a pickup and had to basically make my own spot. Nevertheless I had heard good things about the food so I wanted to try it out. I did not know that there was no indoor dining or even a warm waiting area. When I walked up to the area to order I did see that initially there had been a set up for that. At some point they changed it, likely during covid etc. So we ordered, then waited in the freezing cold for the food. I will say that they had a buzzer so you were able to wait in your car if you wanted. I ordered 1 of their special burgers, the 3 layer fries, and an oreo milk shake. The food is basically what you would expect from a sonic like burger establishment. The burger was nice, plenty juicy and filled with flavor. The fries were OK. The milkshake was middle of the road. The food was good enough that I would order there again. However, not unless it was a whole lot warmer. There was no where to dine so I had to either eat in my truck or find a place to take it to eat. That's fine for a pick up order. If I'm on a lunch break or something and I want to sit somewhere I think I'd be better off going to a business that at least has a small area for that. The cashier seemed indifferent when we were ordering. Not necessarily rude though. I got the feeling that this business was an in town favorite kind of place, and the attitude of some of the staff reflected that. I'm not from in town and I also wasn't that impressed. Good food, but not sit and freeze for 10 minutes good food.
