Restaurants in Barrington

“Wonderful service and food! Eric, the manager, is excellent checking in with diners and ensuring they have everything they need.”

“Once you eat here, you will not want to eat anywhere else.”

“10/10 if you avoid the kitchen hobbit”

“This place is legit Korean style. It has its own spin to the dishes but all the bowls and burritos are the perfect balance is meat, vegetables and rice. We always get the burritos and bowls. We’ve also tried the chicken katsu and it’s got the best crunch and flavor. The mini steamed mandoo is also so good. Highly recommend this place!!”

“Delicious pizza, loved the thin crust! Meatballs are so delish!! I will go back again and again! Highly recommended.”

“It's been over two weeks since my family and I visited The Polish American Bistro. It would be remiss of me not to leave a wonderful review of this lovely restaurant! Ania and Darek, the owners, are the nicest and most hospitable people ever! Since I have family in Poland, it was fun to talk to them about their homeland. Now about their food . . . it's completely amazing! I ordered galumpki (ground beef and rice wrapped in cabbage). The tomato sauce on top was so delicious, it spun circles around the sauce my grandma used to make (sorry, Grandma!)! My husband ate a breaded pork cutlet with mashed potatoes. SO tasty! And my daughter opted for a cheeseburger that looked and tasted so great that we even returned the next day to order another cheeseburger to go! Our entrees were accompanied by a side of two types of salad - one made of marinated red cabbage, and the other was their super delectable authentic Polish sour cream, cucumbers and dill. As you can tell, our dinner itself was a 5-star experience. Last but not least, I must discuss their DESSERTS! When you walk into Ania and Darek's restaurant, your eyes will immediately be drawn to their multi-tier display of desserts. Unfortunately, since our stomachs were full after our delicious dinner, we couldn't even think of dessert. However, take-home was still an option! So I asked Ania to escort me to the dessert case and tell me about her sweet treats. It turns out she owns a bakery in another suburb, and all the desserts are made on location at the bakery FROM SCRATCH! So we took a few home (see photo), ate them the next evening, and they did not disappoint! I loved them all, especially the vanilla custard inside the eclair and fruit tart! The chocolately hazelnut dessert was a Kinder Bueno torte. I want to go back and try more of these amazing treats! You should really go check out The Polish American Bistro, whether or not you are Polish! They have food for everyone. Dziękuję Ania and Darek!”

“Our family’s favorite pizza in Barrington. Always great food!”

PB mocha is my favorite. The bowls are so good too packed with goodness. The shots taste fresh and healthy as well!!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“delicious sandwiches and I wouldn't consider anybody else for my catering needs.”

“Great selection of fast foods. Fast, friendly service. Reasonable prices and the best hot Dogs in the whole Universe!”

“We were in search of new chinese takeout! We made the 20 min drive to Chinese Palace, and we were not disappointed! From ordering on the phone, and getting home to our steaming hot and delicious cuisine! The shrimp egg foo young was my favorite! We will ve back!!”

“Finally good brewery in the area, so happy that we visited that place that offers very interesting beers. Their Pilsner and Lager are very solid. We also tried Farmhouse Ipa that offers interesting complexion of flavors as it is brewed and then put in barrels that once contained the wine lingering with its flavors almost like saison but keeping the good IPA profile. We will definitely visit again, hopefully soon!! :)”

“It's a great local restaurant for birthdays and other events!! Delicious food and wine as well as wonderful service!!”

“4th Update (Sept 3, 2025)
I’ve ordered four different crepe mille cakes now and each cake as pretty and delicious as ever.
——————————
Update: A few months later, I ordered an 8” Mille crepe cake with passionfruit filling and asked for a custom design of poppy flowers because the birthday girl loves poppies. The cake was so fresh and tasted divine! The party guests were super super impressed and asked me where I bought the cake, what kind cake is it, what flavor?
———————————
Absolutely delicious Mille crepe cake!! I decided to order a birthday cake and some mini cakes without tasting anything first. My friends were blown away by how good the passion fruit flavor was!! The owner was also super easy to work with. She texted me pictures of different designs she can do. She’s so creative!!!”

“Decor is outdated. Food is phenomenal. I ordered the carnitas burrito. I have a dairy allergy and they were very supportive!

Dietary restrictions: They were supportive of my dairy allergy!”

“The brisket sandwich was the best I ever had!! The sauce, excellent.. and the fries, I haven't found fries like that in year's!! 5 stars!!”

“Awesome food and fresh Guinness!”

“Another successful Friday Date! Sagano offers a large selection of dishes, sushi was our reason to be there and Sagano didn't disappoint. Among the freshest fish we have had. You could see by the look, color, texture, and taste Sagano sources only the best grade stock. I give Sagano 5 stars just based on quality and freshness.”

“No wonder this place has been around for 30 years. No gimmick oven, no fancy waters glasses. Barrington is full of fake pizza places were youll leave hungry everytime. This place is about pizza, value and great service.”

“Highly recommended! This place is great!”

“The ice cream and gelato is absolutely heavenly! I always get the rainbow ice cream. And they always have my very favorite candies in stock. I really love this place.”

“Very good hot dog; they really grill it until it is hot. A "Shroomer" made as a grilled chicken sandwich is good. The burger is good and I have ended up getting a kid's meal last time so that I can try to eat less meat. I am more of a light weight person anyway. The inside of the restaurant could be renovated. They are still in the real old Kooker's building with the same old tile floor that Kooker's restaurant had when I was in high school. It is over 20 years later now. I have been willing to go back to Happy Burger to get meals. The people at the front desk are nice. I do admit, though, sometimes I end up getting a burger for $3 at fast food drive-throughs. Happy Burger (HB) burger tastes more like a fresh made juicy burger when compared to the McDonald's on the other side of the street. HB fries are not bad but could be better because when the HB fries come up and go into a bag, I have found they were a bit wet.Wet fries is a common imperfection with Chicago-style grills.”

“Stopped here on my way back home and found a really nice chill place for a cold beverage and an awesome bartender by the name of Daniella. Great atmosphere and daily specials on the food menu. Next time im in the area ill definitely stop back it and stay alot longer”

“fine course well maintained great food”

“I love this small and friendly piano bar. It has a great atmosphere and wonderful staff. My favorite part is the live music, especially Jeannie Tanner and Abigail Riccards.”

“Hands down, I’m so glad this Quiznos is still around! In a world where other restaurants have overshadowed and pushed this chain out, I’m genuinely thankful that the owners here have kept it going in my neighborhood.

The staff is always super friendly (some even recognize me when I walk in) which just adds to the experience. And the sandwiches? Perfect every time. The bread practically melts in your mouth.

There’s something special about the nostalgia this place brings, and I’m grateful not just for the memories but for the consistently amazing food. Thank you for keeping the torch lit!”

“You can bring dog. Fast and good service.”

“We love Egg Harbor for the food, the service and the pleasant, bright interior. But please!! Bring back your Jump Start coffee!! 😋 That has always been one of the draws for me and I was so disappointed to hear it was not available any longer due to not having Kerry Gold butter or Coconut Oil. 😲😦”

“Absolutely delicious. Great staff. Great cocktails”

“I came here and they have delicious bubble tea and frozen yogurt, they also have many options for toppings. I purchased the lychee boba and it was so delicious! The place is very clean to. However the hours are a bit odd they open pretty late but they close late to which is convenient. Overall great place!”

“Great food Great customer service New owner always trying to take care of his customers”

“Today was my first time here. The atmosphere is great, the food is delicious, and my waitress was fabulous 😊. I had the crispy chicken wrap with housemade chips, cup of soup, and a dirty chai tea latte (iced), which was yummy and refreshing.”

“The food was outstanding and the waitresses did an awesome job. It seemed like they were extremely busy but never showed it. Very professional”

“Nice place, no line, good service”

“Delicious fish tacos and they’ve always gotten every order right! Much more than I can say about other Mexican places I’ve ordered from.”

“Today I went to Starbucks where, my daughter, Rachel worked so I could hand out dry floral pendants (flowers from her funeral to her Starbucks family! I know that Starbucks has had it’s fair share of scrutiny lately, but they have been nothing short of amazing through this. They have set a memorial table up in Rachel’s honor. They also called in grief counselors and pulled in shift support from other stores so that people who knew Rachel could take time to grieve individually as well attend her service.”

“This location is top notch , HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
The staff are awesome, friendly , quick & keep me coming back , shout out to the GM Brittany for running the friendliest ,quickest & cleanest location hands down.”
