“We stopped in for lunch and what a great time, great waiter we had. The food was excellent the saganaki was perfect and everyone ordered something different and if I could pronounce the dessert that we had that was a custard with orange zest and phyllo crust excellent! definitely would go again. An authentic Greek restaurant.”
“Wow! Stopped in for a quick lunch and was blown away. Chips/salsa and cerviche were brought to our table to begin and only got better from there. Excellent choices of seafood and other non-traditional dishes. My wife said that her seafood burrito would be on her last meal request! Ha! More pricey than a regular Mexican restaurant but worth it. Definitely going back!”
“What a wonderful experience! A hidden gem that everyone should try out! THIS is by far the best Indian food we've ever had! And we've had many good ones! Veena is such a wonderful hostess and chef Rob's cooking his grandmother's authentic regional recipes! The best and most delicious and interesting bread I've ever had. Black linen tablecloths. The desert of the day was indescribable. it was so wonderful and authentic and unique. ABSOLUTELY enjoy this treasure, so centrally located.”

“My sister and I drove 3 hours from Indianapolis just for Bolivian food…. Worth every mile!!! So delicious, saltenas, chicken empanadas, sonsos, platanitos, yuca!!!! The owners were so sweet and inviting. Please support this new business!! We’re already making plans to drive back for more!!”
“Fantastic desert shop with some amazing options. i had the Dubai chocolate and Éclairs. What I loved was the flavor and the fact that even though the desserts were covered on chocolate, it wasn't too sweet or rich. It was the perfect amount of sweetness for an adult. Not the cheapest place but certainly worth the price to try.”

“We happened across this gem of a restaurant this past week. Menu is quite large with a wonderful assortment if items. I had the 2 by 2 by 2 by 2. Two eggs served hot and prepared as requested, with.two sausages , 2 slices of bacon and 2 huge pancakes. Way more than I could eat but pancakes were delicious leftover. Breakfast specials 7-11am M-F will be tried on our next visit. Very spacious and clean with friendly service.”
“First time there yesterday and ordered To Go as I didn't have time to eat there. I was pleased with all the options. I tried the Tropical Island bowl and loved it! Generous portion that mafe 2 full meals for me. I will definitely be back to try more of the bowls. Glad it's close to my home.😀”
“Wonderful service 2025. Food was great. Hot plates, so you know the food is arriving straight from the kitchen. Looks like past 2021 complaints are from the gloomy Covid days.”
“Great selection! Comfortable atmosphere! Amazing service! Will be our go to Sushi restaurant!!!”

“Lao Sichuan has the most authentic and consistently amazing Chinese food to be found anywhere in the U.S. Having spent some time living in China while I was in undergrad, there are certain flavors that I crave, which your run of the mill American style Chinese restaurant will not have. My wife and I live in St Charles and make the 1 hour 20 minute round trip at least once a week to get our fix. The food is that good. The owner is seemingly always there, and obviously genuinely cares about ensuring quality in what is served every time. Our favorites are Chengdu Style King Pao Chicken, Ma Po Tofu, Beef in Pure Cumin Powder, Toothpicks Lamb, and the Xiao Long Bao. I cannot for the life of me fathom how this restaurant does not have a higher rating. It is the best. Try it. You won't regret it.”
“I love Domo 77 and you will too! This place is absolutely amazing with attentive staff, amazing chefs, and outstanding food. The Domo mustard is the absolute best addition to a Hibachi dish and if you don’t believe me, go try it! Amazing and unique drink menu, great desert, and fantastic Hibachi dining atmosphere!”
“We had Sunday dinner at Altiro. The service was prompt and excellent; very polite. We had a pork taco and a tapas dish to share, both dishes were incredibly flavorful, portioned well, and delicious beginning to end. We felt full but not overfull and had a nice dinner with a quiet atmosphere. Will DEFINITELY revisit!!!!”
“This place is located at a Chinese supermarket food court yet they offer great Taiwan food. I brought my Taiwanese friend here once, now she is willing to drive back just to have meal here. We ordered the stinky tofu, tofu is very flavorful. The veggie pot is so delicious that I saw from someone else sitting there and I could not help but to ask the name of the dish.”
“Food was really great but they need the great customer service to go along with it”

“I grew up eating White Castle and then the whole franchise seemed to get worse. This place is a gem. They do a great job. They're slow but that's because they make it all fresh. I always order mine with extra onions and pickles. Do not get ketchup and mustard. They mix it and I think that's what gives you the well. You know what I mean”

“If someone were to ask me what is Dos Bros like,I would say that it is similar in concept to Chipolte, but better and a little bit cheaper. I live in Nashville where don't have any locations. I am hoping they will open here soon. The locations in Jackson and Shelbyville were clean with pleasant staff and excellent service. Highly recommend. Additionally I recommended Dos Bros to a friend who lives in Shelbyville. She and her son both loved it.”
“Syrup is easily the best breakfast and lunch spot in Aurora. The food is consistent which is sometimes hard to find and the flavors are always spot on. Big fan of the Loaded Potato Cakes with Tillamook Cheddar, but yesterday I found a new favorite in the Chicken & Waffles Deluxe. Their omelets are always huge and packed with ingredients. The Billion Dollar Bacon is also amazing.”
“My wife and I celebrated our 23 year anniversary listening to some dope DJz this past Friday night. We had an absolute blast! Our server Chris was great and he made sure we were taken care of. My wife says he is her new best friend. We’re from out of town but everyone made us feel like family. Thank you all and We can’t wait to come back.”
“I hired Coco's at our Office building while our Cafe was under construction. Jose was very professional & provided quick responses, info & communication. Food was fantastic & service was excellent! Highly recommend 👌”

“If you love Korean fried chicken or are curious about trying it for the first time, Bonchon Aurora is the perfect place to go. We recently visited this location and were thoroughly impressed by everything—from the food to the service to the overall atmosphere. Bonchon delivers a flavorful, high-quality dining experience that stands out from other casual spots in the area.
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. The interior is clean, modern, and nicely laid out. It has a casual yet stylish vibe, making it a great place to hang out with friends, have a family dinner, or even do takeout if you’re in a rush. The music was upbeat but not too loud, and the environment was welcoming and relaxing.
Now, let’s talk about the food—because that’s what Bonchon is all about. We ordered a combo of wings and drumsticks with both Soy Garlic and Spicy flavors. The chicken was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It’s honestly some of the best Korean fried chicken we’ve ever had. The soy garlic has a deep, savory-sweet flavor that keeps you reaching for another bite, while the spicy has a real kick without being overwhelming. It’s bold, flavorful, and lingers just enough to remind you it’s legit.
In addition to the chicken, we tried a few of their appetizers and sides. The takoyaki was hot and crispy on the outside and creamy inside with a drizzle of mayo and bonito flakes on top—just how it should be. The kimchi coleslaw was an unexpected but delicious twist, adding a tangy crunch to the meal. We also shared the bibimbap, which came out sizzling in a stone bowl and was absolutely loaded with fresh veggies, perfectly cooked rice, and tender beef. Once mixed together with gochujang, it was a fantastic balance of flavors and textures.
Service was great—our server was attentive, kind, and happy to answer our questions about the menu. The food came out quickly and hot, and we never felt rushed or ignored. It’s always refreshing to have a team that genuinely cares about your experience.
Another thing worth mentioning is how well they package everything for takeout. We’ve ordered Bonchon for pickup before, and everything always comes fresh, neatly packed, and still crispy—even after a drive home. That says a lot about their attention to quality.
Parking was easy, and the location is super convenient if you’re shopping or passing through the area. Plus, their online ordering system is smooth and reliable, which makes this a go-to for quick lunches or dinners on busy days.
Bonchon Aurora truly brings the flavors of Korea in a fun, accessible, and high-quality way. Whether you’re dining in or ordering out, you’re going to get consistent food and service. This is the kind of place that becomes a regular stop because you know exactly what you’re going to get—crispy, crave-worthy chicken and a menu that surprises you with depth beyond just wings.
We left full, happy, and already talking about what we want to try next time. Highly recommend the soy garlic wings, the spicy combo for heat lovers, and the bibimbap if you’re looking for a heartier option. Bonchon Aurora deserves all five stars and then some.”
“The menu is extensive, food is freshly made and delicious and the soups are better than any restaurant soup I have ever had.... I have to admit, I am "addicted" to the soups, primarily the Baked Potato Soup. I could eat that every day. I am what one would call "a regular" thru the drive thru for most often, the soup, however, the salads and variety that they offer are plentiful and again, delicious.... Highly recommend the Patio/Aurora, IL.”
“If I could give 10/10 stars I'd give this location a 12. This store is always lit fam, top notch comedy, and way better than sitting at home watching the office! The warmth from your delicious caramel macchiatos bring me such joy, it's like my father never left when I was a kid :) Thank you for your service! Sincerely a fellow father figure.”
“I almost didn’t post this review because I wanted to keep this place to myself but here we are. Not only is the beer delicious, straight up dive into flavor-town, but the food is fantastic. A fun combination of different cuisines done so so well. I got the Tikka Chicken Tacos and the Sandía Especial to drink. The beer was fruity,light and refreshing! The staff were friendly and helpful, shoutout to Jen!
They also have card games to play while you hangout!
So much fun! Will definitely be back”

“This Subway location truly stands out! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a friendly smile and excellent customer service. The staff was patient and attentive, ensuring my order was made just the way I wanted it. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the bread was perfectly baked, making for a delicious and satisfying meal. The restaurant itself was spotless, with a clean and welcoming atmosphere that made my experience even better. Whether you’re in a rush or want to sit and enjoy a meal, this Subway offers the perfect balance of quality, speed, and comfort. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning for more!”
“Tonight was my boyfriend's and my usual date night out of town, with a movie & food, but tonight we caught a late movie. We were worried we would find nothing but your typical McDonald's & the such, but stumbled upon Baba's and I'm glad we did. The woman running the counter was very nice, and made some recommendations to me when I wasn't sure what to order. I ended up getting the large catfish filets (by her recommendation) and they were delicious! They had a light crisp batter, and were very moist on the inside. My boyfriend ordered wings, which she also suggested & they too were crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside. We left very satisfied, and definitely intend to return the next time we're in the area!”
“We ordered catering from Gyro Pit over the weekend and it was a huge hit. Everyone especially loved the Italian Beef and the Greek potatoes. The fried chicken was perfectly done and did *not* suffer the fate of being super dry and overcooked like a lot of other places I've had. We will definitely use them again for our next party. Thanks Gyro Pit team for helping to make my party a success!”
“We had a really amazing experience as a family. The menu has been revamped under the new management. Good food, good music, good service, and great atmosphere for the entire family.
I recommend El Festin, good food, good music, and good atmosphere. We enjoyed a very pleasant time as a family. The restaurant has been remodeled and has more options on the menu. Everyone is very friendly and attentive.”
“Experienced MaTea House for the first time today and I loved it �! Amy was so friendly, she answered my questions and was patient as I looked through their extensive menu. They have non dairy creamers and soy milk, which was music to my dairy free ears lol! I ordered the coffee milk tea with tapioca and strawberry bobas, it was delicious! Next time I go to the mall I am so making a trip to MaTea House. �”
“We've been a few times, and everyone we've met has this fun bubbly personality. They're very informed about their product and make recommendations based on personal preference, local options, popular options...anything (within reason) you can think of they know their product. And if you don't feel like walking around, there are games and TVs in the back.”
“Came here only because we were in the area. Took a chance and we are glad we did. The food was above par. The service was on point. The place was very clean. We tried the chicken tacos & White rice. Also we had the siete tipos de mariscos. This was a good stop.”
“Poor service and horrible beer. I ordered a brew dog hazy IPA and the waitress brought me some kind of red ale which is clearly not a hazy IPA. See attachment for what the beer should look like and what they brought me. Waitress does nothing to remediate the situation. Never seen such a poorly run business. Staff have bad attitudes and beer was definitely not right. Maybe it was spoiled or they substituted a cheaper product. Do not go here.”
“The owner is so nice! First time seafood boil made easy because of his advice. Great price for the food and the combo comes with a lot of shrimp. Wish the potatoes were smaller.”
“The venue is awesome, the people and workers are amazing, DJ's ROCK, and Paul Oakenfold was a night I will never forget! I will definitely go back! Multi purpose venue for live shows and acts!”
“The tacos and hush puppies are bomb. It's connected to another restaurant called Brown's Chicken. Still good though. Awesome food, huge tacos, nice people. Takes some time to get your order but it's worth it. Good burritos, homeade salsas, fair pricing. Good place. Locally owned and it has a nice home like feel... aside from the browns chicken next to it. Good amount of variety, with desserts. Prices are high on some things and low on others so it kinda averages out compared to like places. Taco was a little dry but we'll flavored. Ingredients are crumble cheese and not shredded and the refried beans will still have whole beans in them.”
“This local sports pub has a yummy new menu, great servers, and many loyal customers!!!”
“Music is too loud. You can't hear anything. Can't place your order without raising your voice. And can't have a conversation with your people at the table. But the food is very good.”
“The guacamole with pineapple is very good. The waiter was very nice. Its very clean. My rib eye needed salt. I did not like being charged 30% gratuity.”
“It has been a few years since my husband and I have been here to Red Lobster and today we saw commercials on TV about the new lobster menu and thought we’d try it out. The food was amazing. Our waiter Tay made the experience very pleasurable. Would recommend coming back again if Tay could be my server May God bless him and his family. You have a good employee there.”
“The staff were incredibly hospitable and accommodating. We arrived at 1:50 PM, just 25 minutes before closing, but they welcomed us without hesitation after I called ahead. Heavy rain delayed our departure, and even after closing time, they let us stay and kindly helped us with WiFi. The food was amazing — the pomfret fish was my favorite. Exceptional service and a great meal!”
“Food was wonderful. Wide variety of broths. Very friendly staff. The selection of meats was awesome.”
“Pizza is good as long as u don’t order PEPPERONI there very cheap with the pieces I had to actually look for them my pizza look dam near like a cheese pizza … the wanna be manager has bad customer service his response was ORDER EXTRA NEXT TIME smh glad I don’t order pizza that often cause they don’t deserve my money … time to find another pizza place it’s that simple … so treat your customers right”

“Horrible place to eat , grill filthy and the place was dirty. It looked like they were not ready to open it was 11:30 and the food quality was nasty. I was charged extra for chicken when half of spoon portion was put on my burrito bowl, they server put lots of red sauce on top. The black beans were spoiled tasted bitter and a weird spell , the chips were stale. I really regret coming here I was in front of the server but he didn’t notice me cause he was leaning down with head down like sleeping. I wouldn’t recommend this place for nothing, horrible old food and not ready to open!!”

“Been coming to this establishment since they opened and have been pleased with their wings, catfish and shrimp. Conveniently located. I noticed as I placed my order I saw a sign stating yo keep costs down, pay with cash if possible. I paid with cash and noticed on my receipt I was charged the credit card fee (didn’t see a sign for that). Anyway, I bought it to the attention of the young man who took my order and he apologized and refunded the cc fee. Please check your sales receipt at all fast food establishments.”

“Went there for the 1st time last Saturday. The service and the food were both excellent. Amber was on top of everything and was very knowledgable about the menu items. Husband had a ‘skillet’ breakfast and I had the granola/berry French toast. We left very little food and we didn’t need much to eat afterwards. The food was filling and kept us going until late afternoon. I recommend this restaurant and will be back! Highland Village Texas location”

“1st time trying this place in Des Plaines and I must say that the bumper fries, bumper chicago style hotdog, chicken tenders with the honey mustard sauce which was great paired together and the bumper burger was all amazing 😋 👌 Definitely a must try🙌 I also like that it's all Halal meat so it's never frozen always fresh ❤️”
