“This is a wonderful place to eat. No matter if your on a date, with family or friends. The food here is fantastic, the atmosphere is wonderful the waitresses, waiters, hosts and cooks are very good at what they do. Yes it can be pricey but the food makes up for that for it is so delicious!”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I think for a while this wasn't as good tbh but I decided to try again. now it's really good again. Generous ingredients, great taste, and not that expensive. Always good coupons too”

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

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

“As long time patrons of Cucina Bella, we had high expectations for my daughter’s bridal shower, which were far surpassed. We had 56 guests; the restaurant was closed so we used the entire dining room and bar area. The exposed brick-walled room has such character and warmth; we added only a few table centerpieces and candles. The delicious food was served family style and each table had plenty (we took leftovers home)! It was high quality, very fresh, and all dishes were served at the correct temperatures.
Our menu included bruschetta, grilled calamari, house salad, penne marinara, gnocchi with vodka sauce, chicken Francese and tiramisu. This penne marinara is a flavorful departure from a typical mostaccioli dish. My daughter’s favorite is the gnocchi with vodka - the gnocchi were pillow soft and the sauce perfectly robust. The tasty chicken was tender and savory. Can’t tell you how many guests said they literally wanted to “drink all of the sauces”! They raved about the scrumptious food, mimosa bar, bloody Marys, ambience and service - and they are still talking about it!
Kim and Lindsey were amazing and did not miss a beat in providing top notch service for the large group. I have no idea how they did it all and did it so well - all in good cheer! Erin is a terrific event coordinator, very responsive, thorough and professional, offering suggestions and lots of patience! High praise to the kitchen staff as well. All helped to create a most memorable experience for us. Thank you!”

“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!”

“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!”

“I found the most amazing coffee and pastry shop today on my way to work. The coffee was amazing and the pastry I had was the best thing I have ever eaten!! If you haven’t stopped in, what are you waiting for?!”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“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!!!”

“great wings and great people”

“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!”

“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.”

“food is amazing! thank you sal (:”

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.”

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

“The food tastes amazing and there are large portions”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“Gotta be the best Chinese food in the area. The food is very flavorful and cooked properly. The quantity to cost ratio is also great. Overall considering everything, #1 place to go.”

“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.”

“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+++++++”

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

“delicious and unique flavors that taste super fresh. And lovely employees.”

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

“Jeff provided great customer service when we partnered with him for catering one of our events!”

“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!”

“I went in earlier this week for some deli and was helped by Alyssa. She was attentive and helpful with what what new item i should try. Shes a hard worker give her a raise!!!”

“At Georgia's Restaurant and Pancake House they have reasonable prices, large menu, and great tea selection for breakfast and lunch. I will definitely be there again soon!”

“A hometown, homemade, come down to a Mexican - American restaurant. A diamond in a rough with the right combination of pleasure and comfort. Do not let this place disappear! With plenty of vegetarian options, it's made for everyone.

Vegetarian options: It has a section on the menu for us veggie!”

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

“Daily Projects coffee is by far the best coffee and chai tea I’ve ever had. And I’m not a burger person nor a breakfast eater but I had their DELICIOUS burger this morning (long story none of which has to do with alcohol or otherwise) and it was DELICIOUS!!”

“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.”

“09/2024 update, was having a rushed day so i online ordered....so distracted that i ordered it wrong!! By the time I realized my husband was already on hisway to get it. I called and said have you already made it? They said yes, why did i ask. So i explained what happened, but told them i wasn't upset as i like what i accidentally ordered! They said "ok". You guessed it, it was remade by the time my husband got there. How nice is that???
Everything is amazing . First off they are so excellent with the covid situation. We got the egg foo young there because because our no longer favorite restaurant was closed. Thank heavens they did. I have NEVER had such a light and delicious egg food young in my entire life. It's do good you're afraid to try anything else!Then I find out they have curry?? Holy crap. Fresh veggies and the mushrooms, the chicken incredibly moist and delicious. My son had the kimchi, husband the sweet and sour chicken. We got the dinner specials, which, of course was a huge amount of food...egg rolls perfect, egg drop soup amazing, the chicken fried rice so yummy ?. All of it under $30. Great food great service.”

“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.”

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

“I’ve lived in Barrington for 30 years but I’m fairly new to Algonquin. I have to say I love this bar/restaurant. The people that work there are so nice and friendly and 100% trustworthy. Maddy, Olivia, Chevy, Pierre and Mike are the best and help run the place. I enjoyed karaoke on few Thursday and Saturday nights and play Darts about once a week…the Dartboards are in tip top shape. Finally nobody is more fun and talented than Gio the guy who sings along with the crowd. This place has normal prices. Dave”

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

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