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.”

“Best chicken tenders and fries around!! Love that they come to DS twice a week!!”

“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.”

“first timer, everything was top notch. Great staff and service. Had the ribeye was done perfectly sides were great. Owner stopped by for a chat, great guy. Will definitely be our go to place for fine dining.”

“First of all, Simon’s a great host who also loves to make software. We’re here all the time, and our team loves coming to Open Mic to work, be creative, and meet with clients. It’s a comfortable, welcoming space that naturally sparks good conversations and cool ideas—some of our best ideas have come out of brainstorming sessions in this spot. Sometimes we’re heads-down getting work done, sometimes sketching things out, sometimes picking up a guitar or playing a little piano between sprints. Great coffee and tea, a relaxed creative vibe, and always something interesting going on. It’s one of our favorite spots in Lake County, Illinois.”

“Excellent food and customer service!”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I cannot say enough good things about Sweet Discoveries. First, when my grandfather received a terminal diagnosis over the summer and we decided to hold a small elopement ceremony so he could be there to see us get married, it was very important to us that he got to have our wedding cake. With about 5 days notice Cindy committed to getting us a smaller version of our wedding cake for my grandpa. Words cannot express how much this meant to us and to him.

We still went through with the larger celebration in December with the rest of our family and friends, and Cindy provided the most beautiful cake and most delicious sweet treats to go along with it. The entire process - the tasting, ordering, up until the day of the wedding was so easy working with Cindy. I cannot recommend her services more. She certainly has a lifelong customer out of us. Thank you so much for everything!”

“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.”

A perfect vibe any night with live bands, DJs, and a touch tunes jukebox where you can play your own music. Tons of events during peak season, coinciding with the Island, and the Port even does Halloween and Christmas themed events. I’d love to hold my own event here one day.”

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.”

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'm not into bars so probably won't return but I really enjoyed the time I was there.

The races were exilerating. Being able to see the boats up close was cool.”

“We had liver and onions with mashed potatoes and chicken fajitas today. Both were very good. The liver was some of the best we've ever had.”
