  • Maria: Fodraks feels like home. Flavio Jose and all the staff, always take good care of us. I like Greek chicken with salad, and the kids have chocolate banana shake with fries and chicken tenders.
  • Noreen G: Fodrak's by far has the best french fries! Can't beat their fresh cut fries. The taste will amaze you.
  • Leonardo H: The best fries in Libertyville are made fresh everyday by my friend Jim Lappas at Fodrak's! His french fries are the best in Illinois, period!!!
