“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.”
“Me encanta este restaurante El ambiente El servicio La comida Todo es excelente Iré a celebrar mi cumpleaños aquí 😍”
“Masala Madness has quickly become one of my favorite local spots. Even though I’m not Indian, the moment I walked in I felt completely at home. There’s a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile.
The food is on another level. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and you can tell the chef puts real care into each dish. The spices are balanced beautifully—every bite bursts with flavor without ever feeling overwhelming. I was even lucky enough to snag their gulab jamun for dessert, and it completely stole my heart—soft, warm, and perfectly sweet.
I can confidently say this will be my go-to place for Indian food for a long time.”
“Great and friendly atmosphere. Staff was attentive, drinks delicious.”

“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.😀”
“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.”
“I gotta say I’ve seen this place before, didn’t really catch my attention at first. I was in the mood for a Buffalo chicken sandwich and I googled and found this place and I’m glad I did. Food was delicious, comes with fries and optional lemon pepper on them (they’ll ask you). Big portions and the prices are very fair. They seem like good people as well, I’ll def be coming back!”

“Been to this place with friends over the weekend, and it turned out to be a delightful experience.
The restaurant is an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys authentic Indian flavors, especially vegetarians. The menu has a wonderful variety of dishes, but the spicy Veg Seekh Pulav truly stands out. It’s aromatic, perfectly spiced, and packed with rich flavors that balance heat and taste beautifully. You can tell it’s made with care and fresh ingredients.”
“An excellent spot to get those hard to find beers sometimes. Also great place to just hang out with friends. They have cool food pop-ups throughout the week excellent.”
“Always a great spot! First time at this location did not disappoint! ❤️”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Delicious food and great atmosphere!”
I had dinner at ARTHOUSE recently, and the food was absolutely worth it. The burgers and salads were fresh and flavorful — especially the lamb satay and fried rice balls, which were unique and really tasty! The house-made salad dressing was light but full of flavor.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Food was really great but they need the great customer service to go along with it”

For dinner we had Steak torta, the steak burrito 🌯 omg that’s so so good! Cheese fries and Bistec Ranchero! For a fair price too! Give it a try service is very attentive and friendly too! And of course thanks to the Cook 👨🍳 for making this delicious meals!”
“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 had Mobile Coco’s cater a few of our events and they’ve always been great. Booking is easy, communication is great and they show up ready to please. A few of our guests ended up using them for their own events too. Tasty, friendly and the equipment/kitchen is clean. Take the stress away from your next event and give them a call.”

“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!”
“I had an absolutely delicious meal at this restaurant! The chicken was incredibly crunchy and yummy—I honestly couldn't get enough of it. The bao buns with pork belly were out of this world; a true standout dish. To top it off, the bulgogi fries were also amazing.
The portions were very generous, the staff was exceptionally friendly, and they took the time to explain the menu. With prices ranging from $10 to $20 per item, the cost was quite reasonable for the quality and quantity.
I highly suggest you give this place a try! I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu, but I already know the chicken is a must-order again.”

“My husband and I stopped by while taking the kids holiday shopping. My husband had the cranberry rum mule. I had the peppermint espresso martini. The drinks were made quickly and the woman on staff was welcoming and kind. The drinks were high end restaurant quality! We will revisit Tapville again in the future!”
“The Ontario Ave in Chicago was fabulous. My husband and I both enjoyed our Chicago dogs”

“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.”
“Great service, quick and on point. Sidenote; They offer Surf City Squeeze which is the exact same one from woodfield, it's a partnership, however it's tied to great steak!”
“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.”
“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.”
“It is right next to a place I visit frequently. This isn’t an exaggeration, you can literally smell the flavors of Biryanis 200m away. Every day I resist giving in but have fallen for it more often than not”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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.”

“We were out shopping and didn't want to stop and ruin the shop till you drop vibe but we were starving and a drive thru wouldn't cut it but both agreed a quick taco or quesadilla would hit the spot. We decided on Taco Dale since we'd never had it before, it was a Friday night and again wanted something quick. Our initial thought or plan was (as it usually is) was to just get it to go and eat in the car and keep shopping.... we went in and ordered a cheese quesadilla and a steak quesadilla I asked if they could cut them in half (so we could split them) to let us each try both. They come with pico, guac, and crema. We didn't get the pico - just guac and crema. The girl was easily accommodating. As we were waiting for the order we quickly realized it may be greasy and we should probably stay and just eat it there. Once we got the order we told them we were going to stay and Christian was extremely accommodating and kind - he brought us chips, salsa, hot and mild sauce and drinks since we weren't going to initially stay. He also kept checking on us to see if we needed anything as well. Christian was also very kind and friendly to the other patrons that came in as well. The menu is abundantly full, there is something for everyone and the menu can be easily accommodating if needed. The ladies were very kind as well (I didn't get any names though I'm sorry). The restaurant itself was clean, warm and inviting. It is also ADA accessible. We will definitely be returning customers.”

“This new Halal spot has chic decor. We loved the loaded nachos. Note that one plate can easily feed 2 people so it's really good portion sizes if you're on a budget. There's ample parking and several types of seating, including booths, as well as both high and regular tables. Bathrooms are all gender, individual rooms. Decor is a really nice fusion of Mexican and Asian influence.”

“One of my favorite places to eat Mexican in Aurora area! Their restaurant is clean, and they have fast, friendly staff! Our food always comes hot and fresh! We love the steak tacos and burritos! Also the hot beef soup!!! I feel great on their food, and I know it’s because it’s fresh and healthy and homemade. 🙌👌
My husband and I order take out from here often! We don’t wait super long - we go, and order and are usually leaving in 10-15 minutes or less. Their coconut treats at the counter are so good! Also their rice drink and the red tea! I forget the names of both 🤣🙈 Highly recommend this restaurant! They have booths and tables .”

“10/10 Recommend - My husband and I searched for about a month and tried food from various restaurants prior to choosing who we wanted to cater our wedding. We ate tacos on a random night here and immediately asked if they offered catering because the food was that impressionable. We received so many compliments on the food from our wedding day. We still go roughly once a week because it's the only Taco place in Aurora we can never get tired of. Service is excellent as well, I always feel so comfortable here. They have a enclosed area to eat as well, which you can't get anywhere else in Aurora from a Taco Truck.”
“Not bad at all. We got burgers and fries. Even though I didn't see it on the menu, thankfully I read other reviews and wanted to try it out. Not bad at all. About $8 for a kids burger and fries and $12 or so for an adult burger and fries. I have to say it is a pretty unique burger with ham and grilled pineapple which blended in quite well. Give it a try and see for yourself. Btw, it is inside/connected to the gas station and they share a space with another restaurant, so don't get confused. Enjoy!”
“Great shop in Aurora! If you love tea, this is the spot for you!”
