Non-Fast Food Drive-Thru Options

Noodle's and company, Panera... My kid's are pretty picky eater's and really don't like to eat out much so other then the other restraunts you listed I added on two more for you! If you tend on going to Noodle's and Co. try the pesto cavatappi, we LOVE it! Try it with the beef! It tastes like a home cooked meal! Ps... Sorry, just seen the "carry-out thing!, But believe me, I also have 3 kid's and so what I do is call it in so I can run in and get it, or sometimes I will ask them on the phone if they can bring it out for me and they have without any problem!

Panda Express in Bolingbrook has a drive thru. There is a Boston Market in Bolingbrook that also has a drive thru. It's still fast food, but not quite as bad....Chick Fil A is open in Aurora and Wheaton. I don't know about the Westmont area. There are more drive thru options west of the I-355.

What about some of the restaurants that offer curbside carryout? I know California Pizza Kitchen does this - you just park in a designated spot and they bring your food right out. Applebee's used to do this, but haven't been there in ages so not sure if they still do. I'm sure there are others - to me, it's definitely worth paying a small gratuity to the curbside server to not have to schlepp kids in & out just to pick up food! :)

I think Chili's in Downer's Grove on 75th Street has curbside carryout.

The Jimmy Johns in Berwyn has a drive thru, I don't know if they all do though. I wish more restaurants had a drive thru, since I'm with you; I'm not going to drag my three kids out if thecar and into a restaurant just to pick up food. Too much work, too much time!

The California Pizza Kitchen on Diehl in Warrenville by the movie theaters will bring it out to your car and they have a huge menu. You just order it, drive over, and they bring it right out.

culvers is good!!

also at outback, texas roadhouse, come out to your car

Some Panera's now have drive throughs.....

The Panera on Odgen in Naperville has a drive-thru!
