Restaurants in Algonquin

“I met former coworkers for dinner here and was my first time dining at this location. Our waitress Alane was fantastic and the manager Rob even stopped by to check on everything. We had appetizers, main courses and desserts. It was all fantastic! Alane made sure waters were filled regularly and other drinks were refilled promptly. The restaurant was busy, but felt cozy at the same time. We were seated in a booth and was absolutely perfect.”

“We just finished celebrating our daughter's college graduation at the Cooper's Hawk in Algonquin. I cannot say enough about the awesome experience we had. Starting with Angelina handling all the details to the planning of the event, to the room being set up just perfect; to Joel and Natalie who were the absolute best servers we could have had; to the delicious food (OMG the salmon) and dessert that was served; and of course, not to mention the wonderful wine tasting bar. All our guests were so impressed! Thank you, Cooper's Hawk, for taking such good care of us. You made our celebration one we will remember.”

“Went to Montarra for out 49th wedding anniversary. When my husband made the reservation he was asked if it was a special occasion. As a result every person we were served by wished us a happy anniversary and we received special souvenir menus acknowledging the occasion. Everything was outstanding from my Apple Pie Old Fashioned to the English Toffee Sticky Pudding (served on a plate with Happy Anniversary written in chocolate syrup!). The service was the best we've had anywhere and the decor and ambience is beautiful. Would give them a 10 if I could!”

“The food is excellent and the service is even better! It would be a great option for birthday parties!!”

“Welcoming! Nice atmosphere! Owner is a darling! Great deal! I love the rustic vibe”

“we spent our night tonight there together just myself and my fiance. we had an absolutely wonderful experience. The owners were the most wonderful people. It was nice and quiet just him and I with a little music in the background with nice dim lighting. The food was out of this world! Very generous food portions! we will definitely be thinking about this place for a while!!! Honestly I don't think we could have had a better night! Thank you for making our night special”

“I've eaten at many good sushi spots and this is one of my absolute favorites for so many reasons. Everything is sooo fresh, portions are large, and the staff is great(ask for Liam, he's the best)! Liam is especially great to making sure kiddos have a great dining experience too and is very attentive.”

“Been going there for over 35 years and just wanted to say this is the best bbq around the area. I just happened to read reviews and can believe that some people trash talk this place. They are obviously the the type of people who can never be satisfied. I give it a A+++++++”

“Great place with great service! Our waitress Jasmine is amazing! She was very attentive and always kept the drinks loaded! Overall great place with great servers!”

“Great craft brewery with tasty treats! Highly recommend!”

“Needs more bartenders like Zack”

“Took The Wife here for dinner. The food was excellent. The service was exceptional. I had the Ribeye, without any seasoning. It was perfect.
We'll be back.”

“Fantastic pizza, family friendly, and the steel tip dart boards are so cool! Would definitely recommend to anyone, if you like beer or not! We’ll definitely be back for that garlic pizza!!”

“Enjoyed the atmosphere and decor, very clean.
The service was Exceptional.
The miso soup was very good and the appetizers were right up there also.
The sushi was excellent...Wii for sure go back soon...”

“What a great place with wonderful cocktails, a large and varied menu and a happy vibe. Christian, our server answered our many questions about the food and emboldened us to try selections we’d never had before! I loved the charbroiled skirt steak, ceviche, those pork appetizers I’ve never heard of, and my frozen strawberry margaritas. Others at the table had enchiladas, tamales, sangria and beer. Christian kept it all coming. He made sure to tell us about upcoming events such as taco Tuesdays and live music, including mariachi bands. Oh, sign me up! It also appeared to be family friendly. It’s a large space with plenty so we could have a conversation with our friends. The outdoor seating area looked nice, too, but we dined in the bar. A fantastic experience.”

“Wow!! Great Service! The manager/ employee was very friendly. Not only is their service great, but the pizzas here are so delicious! You will not be displeased with their food ☺️”

“Cleanest establishment around! Great staff! Great variety of drinks! WON BIG! I'll be back!”

“My friend and I really enjoyed the Mexican Pappardelle. We had some issues with food our last 3 times there, but Montana, our waiter, remembered us and make sure the food arrived hot. I enjoyed the Petite Syrah, which won an award at the Illinois Fair.. Service from Montana was great, too.”

“Went there on a Thursday night and it was surprisingly busy. We had a party of 8 people, we called ahead of time, but they said that we didn’t need to make a reservation. I like that the online option to make a reservation. There was not wait upon arrival, just time to set up table. Food was excellent, I didn’t really know what to expect since it was our first time dining there but I loved the bread and oil with Parmesan sauce. We ordered calamari and my kids loved it. I ended up getting an egg pant parmesan and it was super good! I will say that the portion sizes are huge! The only reason why I didn’t give a full 5 star rating was because our server was very nice, but he kept on forgetting about us. The rest of the staff was treat really friendly, we will definitely go back.”

“So happy I found this place ❤️”

“Just picked a random restaurant while moving our college kid into his apartment. Had no idea but the food was fantastic and Rhonda our server was fabulous!!! We are all looking forward to the next time we are in town and my college kid can’t wait to bring friends!”

“We celebrated our 27th Anniversary tonight at Port Edward with dinner on the boat. I grew up going here as a kid and had not been there for 30 years. It was as amazing as it has always been and exceeded my expectations with the fantastic service from April and the kindness of a sweet woman who had worked there for 50 years named Cynthia. They went above and beyond to make sure our night was one to never forget and all of the food was delicious. I highly recommend to everyone to come and enjoy this experience for yourself! Thank you to April and Cynthia for a perfect night!”

“The food is amazing! Reminds me of my Grandma's home cooking! The portions are worth the $!”

“Thank you Taylor Street Algonquin! We appreciate your customer service and very delicious pizza. 😋👍”

“We came tonight for the first time for my husband’s birthday. Food was so good. Service was excellent! The cook even came out to ask us how our food was. We will be back!”

“We go there frequently for dessert and coffee and we love it each time. Today we picked up a birthday cake and it was delicious. We recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a great atmosphere, great dessert and great coffee. You should try their breakfast, it’s delicious!!!💙”

“Food tasted great! Friendly staff and amazing service. Will be back!”

“Very delicious and amazing Polish food. I really recommend it.”

“BEST peanut butter smoothie bowl I have ever had! Staff is super knowledgeable and they have everything you could ever need for your healthy lifestyle. 10/10 recommend and I can’t wait to go back. Thanks Digz!”

“By far the best guacamole I’ve ever had! Love the burritos as well. However, I tried something new fish fries. Absolutely amazing! I’ve tried three different Mexican restaurants in town and this is the only one I eat at.”

“Loved our food tonight, trying the place out for the first time. Good fish, good choices. Let me try the sauces to decide which. Love that they have more things than just poke bowls. Will eat here again.”

“Great pizza. The management came out of the back to show me the pizza cause he was concerned it was to over done. So he was so kind and deliver another pizza. Great management and most of all Great pizza. 5 stars. Great experince. Thank you.”

“The garlic parm fries are addicting… so tasty!!!”

“We had such an amazing experience with Lindsey!!! She was so sweet & kind ❤️ went above & beyond to squeeze me in for my little gender reveal I was doing with my husband! The cake was by far the most delicious cake we’ve had! The texture, how moist it was, the frosting & piping work was perfect!! We can’t recommend her enough 🤗 thank you again Lindsey for helping be a part of our special day!!!”

“I just got Dave’s from the drive-thru. I can’t express how much I absolutely adored Morgan who was taking my order and was as sweet as can be! She’s such a hard worker for a young girl. I wish there were more people like her not only in the service industry, but also I wish there were more people like her in this world. Dave’s, if you have an employee of the month, a plaque of some kind, a raise, or a scholarship, Morgan deserves that and more! I work in the service industry myself and it’s not easy, you definitely come across people who are hard to get along with. Even though most of the time people are trying their best. If anyone ever has something negative to say about this store or Morgan, it will be the guests' who is in the wrong, not Morgan’s! I can’t wait to come back and hopefully see her again the next time I order here!”

“Had an exceptional experience using Bella Vista for catering a recent bridal shower. Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend!”

“Delicious ice cream and the kids cone is the perfect size for my 3 year old!”

“Good food and friendly wait staff. Love the small town vibes you get even though Alg is growing so much.”

“Great Chinese food. Especially the Oriental Delight. And the best egg rolls in the world. Nice people, they appreciate your business”

“All very delicious. Jimmy's love and passion shine through in every delightful bite! The scones? I try scones everywhere else, I always wish I could eat one of his instead!”

“Delicious! Fast and friendly service. I prefer their chicken and beef over any of their fried selections like sesame chicken, but the freshness of the food is always on point. I love the Mongolian beef and any of the fried rice (though the specialty rice with all the proteins in it is my fave) and my husband loves the moo shu beef and the straw mushroom chicken. We also enjoy sharing the garlic chicken which is probably my overall fave on the menu. The egg rolls are also my absolute favorite and I order them every time. The peanut sauce makes them so perfect and savory.”

“✅ Friendly service

What’s not to love about this restaurant?
My husband and I have been on a mission to find the best, authentic Mexican food in the Algonquin area. We, along with our friends and family, agree that this place is it! And we also love that they’re closed on Sundays.”

“Delicious! Service was great!”

“Enjoyed a great healthy yummy family dinner 6 of us last night. Bison meat tender and I really enjoyed my warm Power Poke Salmon Bowl! Thank you for the great service!”

“We were driving thru IL and I found this taco place on my drive. Decided to give it a try. Ended up getting steak, chicken and pork tacos to try. I would rate my favorite in the order. I would come again if I passing thru. Some places in the past have a little station with onions, pico, etc. Be nice to have that. That’s my only complains.”

“Finally a great local Thai restaurant. The food was fresh and amazing enough for me to write a review. I believe everything was made from scratch. Everything was fresh and delicious. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!”

“I really love their crispy chicken! Friendly staff.”

“So far everything I have tried I thoroughly enjoyed. The bacon rancher was awesome last night!”

“We typically use the drive thru. We like your food, always fresh and tasty. Tonight I had the chicken avocado and strawberry salad. The salad was fresh, walnuts were sweet and crispy, dressing was very creamy. The only criticism I have is my chicken avocado and strawberry salad had no avocados. I do understand sometimes you can run out of ingredients or supply chain issues can interfere with menus. I would just ask to have this made known to us upon ordering or upon discovery, all in the interest of good customer service that you usually do deliver.”

“First time here and Cameron was bartending! I came in and ordered a drink that isn’t the normal for most bartenders, wine spritzer! Cameron was super patient and let me talk to him about how to make it and the second round he was like “let me do this to see if it tastes better, and it sure did! His first time he made a better drink than bartenders who’s been at it for 20+ years!! Super sweet, conversation with him was fun, Cameron alone made the experience amazing! The pizza was really good as well!”

“Great ice-cream with an incredible selection. Everyone who works there has always been very friendly and extremely helpful. And for the quality and quantity you receive there, the prices are more than reasonable”

“Large selection of proteins, vegetables, sauces, and noodles/rice. Very clean. Courteous staff.”

“this place is amazing! food & milk tea is perfect you can tell they’ve put a lot of effort & care into their business the gentleman who helped me & my boyfriend was working alone it was very busy & he was so kind & quick paced absolutely love this place!”

“The food tastes amazing and there are large portions”

“Love this place! Great Golden Shrimp!! Of course Boba tea, mmm!”

“Great place for a coffee and a healthy meal.”

“Love your sandwiches. 5 times better than any other sandwich place in the area.”

“born and raised in chicago which obv has some of the best chinese food. that being said, when i tried this place yesterday i was blown away actually lol. the chicken pad thai was some of the best i’ve ever had. such a good portion and sooo fresh. the crab rangoon was also amazing! had the perfect amount of filling and wasn’t overly breaded/crispy.
i will deff be coming here more often since i’m living near by and am super impressed with the quality! ❤️”

“Relaxing environment friendly staff and patrons!! Definitely recommend”

“love this place eeverything about it”

“We love our Algonquin Chick-fil-A! Everyone is so pleasant. We always get greeted with such a warm welcome and with a smile.”

“Went here for the first time tonight and the food was amazing. My daughter and I had the Boti Chicken and it was so flavorful. The serving sizes were large as well. Hands down one of my new favorite places to eat in the area.”

“I stayed 15 mins after close because my driver was so far. They let me stay till they came and i will be forever grateful. pizza is always amazing and tastes wonderful.”

“Awesome people work here!
Hard working attentive and know how to make a miscommunicated situation so much better! Thanks and we will be back like Arnold says ha”

“Attentive staff, always checking on customers like us, fast in responding to your needs/refilling sides.”

“Best bar pizza in town, loaded with toppings and cooked to perfection! Always a great time due to the great environment.”

“the best ice sceam for all ages🥰”

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

“Love their happy hour specials great staff highly recommend 5stars”

“Just has the best Pumpkin Cheesecake crepes! I highly recommend them! Even the whipped cream was the real deal! I’ve never had a bad meal here, and the waitstaff was very nice!”

“deliciosos, sabor unico y exelente servicio y pagas con cupones. exelente.”

“The staff was very generous in correcting a mistake on our order, THANK YOU Riverview!”

“The workers behind the counter, Estephanie and Yannin, were so kind when we were ordering and made sure our food came out on time. The food tasted amazing as well, I will be coming back!”

“The food produced by this establishment, is extraordinary! It’s extraordinarily delicious and retains so my e of the most stellar traits about authentic, East Indian cuisine!!? It excites & stimulates tastebuds, we “Americans”, routinely never even experience, nor KNEW WE HAD!?with our boring, fattening & fully processed diets!? With our “fast food”? Learn about another culture!? Because, the East Indians have certainly figured out, ‘what’s delicious, about Food!?” Amen, me & all whom I introduce, to this place? Just love it, and can’t keep going back for more!”

“I went today and this was by far the best experience I’ve had at a Dunkin! The gentlemen working was very kind and worked quickly. He made the best oat milk shaken espresso I’ve had and filled it with a very appropriate amount of ice which I really appreciate (other Dunkins always fill it to the brim with ice, leaving very little room for the actual drink). Highly recommend.”

“Great service, food came out very quick even though we were a group of 5. Typical canes, great toast and fries, the chicken and sauce was very favorable and well seasoned. The staff was super nice, they gave my friend an extra piece of toast and when I asked for more sauce, they gave it for free.”
