Restaurants in Antioch

“Highly recommend! Wow. What an experience at The Vegas Cafe in Antioch, Illinois. The food and drinks were excellent. We had the stuffed French toast, a skillet, pancakes, strawberry waffles, and a breakfast wrap. For drinks, we ordered hot chocolate and iced tea and everything was delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is truly amazing. From the hostesses to our server to the bussers, everyone was hardworking, kind, and genuinely caring. You could feel it right when you walked in. They wanted you there and treated you so well. Then there is the owner, Helen. She is an absolute gem. She introduced herself and spent time talking with us about her family, the business, and getting to know us. Even before she mentioned she was the owner, you could tell by the way she carried herself and interacted with guests. She clearly cares about her staff and her customers. When Helen found out we were there celebrating my mother’s birthday, she went above and beyond. My mom is still talking about it. We are so thankful to our server Callie, the owner Helen, and everyone at The Vegas Cafe. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back.”

“Since its transformation into Taylor’s on Toft, this bar has established itself as one of Antioch’s most polished and welcoming drinking destinations. The owner—often found behind the bar—sets the tone with a warm, personable presence that immediately makes guests feel at ease. Her cocktail craftsmanship is equally impressive: the Manhattan is exemplary, balanced and precise, while the martinis are consistently excellent, executed with confidence and restraint. The ambiance strikes an ideal note—refined yet relaxed—making it a natural choice for a pre-dinner aperitif or a lingering post-meal nightcap. During a recent visit, a live singing group added a festive touch, infusing the space with genuine Christmas cheer without overwhelming the intimate atmosphere. While we have not yet sampled the food, dishes arriving at neighboring tables are beautifully presented and look enticing, suggesting the bar program is thoughtfully complemented by the kitchen. Taylor’s on Toft is a standout in Antioch: a place defined by gracious hospitality, expertly made cocktails, and an atmosphere that invites return visits. Highly recommended.”

“Literally walked in 5 minutes before closing time and they still served us and were polite about it! I honestly would've understood if they turn us away but OMG was I happy they didn't! The price for one gyro I thought was a bit high(I'm used to a 2 gyro for that price any where else) definitely could see why the charge was so high. I only was eating what kept falling off the gyro and started getting full!!! HUGE portions excellent tasting meat and the cucumber sauce THE BEST I've ever had!!!”

“Kenara (sp?) is a gem! There was a problem with the cupcakes I ordered for my daughters birthday. They were so busy, and it was a big fix, so I didnt really expect them to fix it. Kenara came out from the back a little bit later and had redone the cupcakes so they were EXACTLY what I had ordered. I was so surprised and thankful. She stayed calm under pressure and was so polite the entire time.

We order cakes and cupcakes from here often and the food and service is always wonderful. This was the first instance of something not being exactly what I ordered and they fixed it 100%. Also, everything is delicious!”

“Had the pleasure of dining here today with my wife while on a short vacation, and it truly stood out as an exceptional experience. Food: Whoever is in the kitchen deserves a raise—everything we had was nothing short of phenomenal. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Service: We were served by Holly, who went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was top-notch. Highly recommend requesting her if you visit! Must Try: I’m not sure how they do it, but their chips and salsa are hands down the best I’ve ever had—absolutely unforgettable. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a dining experience that’s truly above the rest.”

Once inside, the ambience surrounds you and the top tier service from the hostess and cocktail waitress leaves you feeling like a VIP. Kierra mixes phenomenal concoctions with a professionalism and air of class that feels like a breath of fresh air coming from the typical dive bar. Marysa has a welcome smile and a tableside manner that speaks to the establishments superior customer service. We will most certainly be coming back.”

“This place is a paradise. Always looking for things things like this and they happen to have all of them in one store”

“I love going to Betty's in Antioch! It's a very welcoming & warm experience. I have made a habit of going on a Friday or Saturday evening, Jackie the host is what keeps me going back, she is a big draw for this establishment, she goes above and beyond for the guest and seems to greet most by name, many have told me they go there to visit with Jackie and play some slots. So nice to have a great adult entertainment close to home.”

“The establishment was very clean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The drinks were good and they were cold.”

“While picking up dinner tonight at the Antioch location, the fire alarms had went off. The team was really assuring that there was no real emergency. Though it did create a communication barrier being so loud, the staff remained calm and friendly. To make up for it, a gentleman passed out cookies to those in line. This location is very clean and you can tell the staff takes pride. Can’t wait to continue to make this our go to comfort food place!”

I've been to every good wing place in the tri- state area and they have the best wings and blue cheese I've had. Can't miss with Anastasia's in Antioch.”

We appreciated the pup cup for the little ones though.”

“We love the delivery! The new Salt and Pepper beef was DELICIOUS! And the last couple of times I got the chicken, it's been much better. I wouldn't have given this high of a rating a couple of years ago. Keep doing what you're doing!”
