“Food and service was amazing!“

“Salsa 17 has always been one of our families favorite restaurants. They have delicious food, great service and a casual fun atmosphere. Yesterday they went above and beyond for us. We were hosting a large party at our home and reserved a food truck from another business. 5 minutes before our party started we received a call that the food truck was not able to show up. I called Salsa 17 and with no notice they were able to cater a fajita bar for 40 people in just over an hour. The manager I spoke to was accommodating and so kind. The food was outstanding and plentiful. I highly recommend Salsa 17 for both in person dining and catering!“

“Great food with friendly staff“

“live just down the street from Lamp Lighters, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The food is always excellent—fresh, flavorful, and consistently satisfying no matter what you order. The atmosphere feels friendly and comfortable, like a true neighborhood gem.

A special mention goes to Amber, who’s not only incredibly attentive and professional but also genuinely kind and welcoming every time I stop in. She makes the experience even better with her great energy and warm personality.

If you’re in Palatine and haven’t been to Lamp Lighters yet, you’re missing out on one of the best local places around!“

“Beef with cheese best in chi“

“Just moved here to des plaines and cannot be more appreciative of any bar, this one by far is my favorite, the ppl, the drinks the food, and the exquisite service.. there is nothing ‘at 7 bar’ doesn’t give to their customers! Michelle is amazing and does her job as if she is two people, idk how, but she makes it happen!“

“Great place to play pool have some cocktails and game.“

“From out of town. Came in because pictures of food looked good. The food was delicious, talked to the owner as the place seemed kinda slow and I didnt get why the atmosphere looked great staff was helpfull and food was great. Owner said known as a Latina bar. Maybe the area but I dont see why people bring this place back to life. Highly recommend the sweet chili wings.“

“Stopped in while traveling through O’Hare airport and was really impressed. The burger was excellent, and the fries have officially become my new favorite—crispy, hot, and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and quick, getting orders in and out efficiently while still keeping a solid standard for quality. A great stop if you’re looking for good food on the go.“
