“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!!“

“I had shopped for wine at Vin for years without ever once popping my head in here. Shame on me.

Not only does this hidden gem have arguably the best smashburger in the entire Chicagoland region, but they have great beers on tap that change seasonally and a chill vibe due to their expertly curated indie music selection.

Go to the Doodle if you want to find a place where time seems to stop and you can forget about the outside world for a while.“

“We enjoyed another great evening at Coopers Hawk Kildeer. We choose Coopers Hawk not only for their great drinks, food preparation and portions, but also because they have substantial Gluten-Free options and dedicated fryers so everyone can enjoy. They take allergy consciousness seriously. While Kyle our server was prompt, courteous, and engaging I have to say the entire staff gave us a feeling they truly appreciated our choice dining with them. Everyone we spoke with or even passed in the hallway smiled and made eye contact. The Pretzel bread (including Gluten-Free bread) along with appetizers (Calamari & Brussel Sprouts) were the perfect size for our party of five(5) to share. We enjoyed a variety of dishes (Chicken, Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops, Spaghetti w/Meatballs, Gnocchi Alla Vodka, and Salad w/Chicken & Avocado), all delicious. Flourless cake and two other desserts were shared and delicious. Overall highly recommended as we have had consistent high quality food and service at this location.“

“One of the next vegan burgers I've had. And they played black Sabbath the whole time. RIP Ozzy!“

“I have dreamed of going for as long as I can remember. I love this time period and was so excited to go. This not only checked one bucket list item, but checked 2, as I was able to see a Friesian in real life, my favorite breed, for the first time! I was overcome to tears several times by the beauty, pageantry and joy I witnessed! Everyone should see this at least once in their lives!“

“Julie was absolutely fantastic as our bartender! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone had a great time. The drinks were excellent and her positive energy really added to the atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Our wedding was on 8/18/2023 and we are still so happy from the perfect day. From the minute we started our tour at Pinstripes with Shannon Schurr, my husband and I knew Pinstripes was going to be the perfect place for our wedding reception. We toured a few other venues, but Pinstripes was perfect. Shannon was so responsive and answered all of our questions along the way. The food tasting was lovely as well and it was a great chance to try all the food and feel confident at our choices. From the tour to the tasting to the reception, everything was seamless and magical. All of our guests absolutely raved about the reception venue and all the wedding guests mentioned it was the most fun wedding reception they have ever been at. The food and drink options were fantastic! We had bowling during our cocktail hour (with socks and bowling shoes included for all guests) and bocci courts open after dinner, which was a huge hit. We reserved the all-seasons outside space, which was well worth the little additional money, and the firepits and decorations (including the flowered backdrop) were a big hit and we didn’t even need to buy any decorations because it was set up so beautifully. The service was excellent throughout the whole night and the linens turned out prettier than we could have pictured! There was also a cool stand for the cake to be displayed while we were cutting it. Many of our guests now frequent for bowling and dinner at Pinstripes and my husband and I do the same.“

“Great service and delicious food! Our server, Mark, was excellent! Drinks were perfect too. We will be coming back often for sure“

“Muy sabroso lo recomiendo“

“I highly recommend the ultimate feast for parties of six or more. The food was delicious and it’s a great deal. I definitely would order it again.“

“I am a vegan, so the cook has no issues with non-dairy dishes“

“I have ordered out here quite a few times and love the Royal wrap! Food is top notch! I just ate there for the first time today and it got even better. Tasha and the rest of the staff were the highlight today and it is my favorite breakfast place right now! Cannot wait to go there again or at least order the food! Thank you Sweet Orange 🍊 🤘🏼“

“I’ve eaten at Bleuroot twice when traveling through Chicago for hockey trips. Every bite has been phenomenal and there have been many “Oh you’ve got to try this” shared plates. The staff are amazing and this is a place where it’s okay to be loud and boisterous and joyful. Thanks to Maria and the crew for a great experience (and excellent customer service mailing me back a pair of prescription sunglasses I left on the table!). Looking forward to a third visit in November!“

“Still the best burger around“

“Celebrated my Son's Bday there for brunch and Everyone loved their food! Great Atmosphere and Staff 🥰 The new Management made awesome changes“

“Best people work here Food is great Pride in ownership Known Peter for years“

“You can’t beat the ambiance of Lake County’s oldest, continuously running bar and restaurant! A Midwest classic and the menu has something for everyone. Surround yourself with antiques and wonderful staff and patrons and leave with a full belly and a smile on your face.“

“A mix of a rotisserie chicken place and a Mexican restaurant. Got a whole chicken and sides. The chicken had very good flavor and smoke. It was a little dry as if it was kept in the heating box for a while or just overcooked a bit. The sides were not memorable. I’d go back again and just skip the sides. The Mexican food looked good.“

“Everything tasted great tonight but for some reason the bun just fell apart...“

“Nice ambiance, great service, delicious entrees! We enjoyed our dining experience at Season's 52. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and the scallops had a nice char. Love the petite size desserts, too! We will definitely dine there again.“

“The squirrel and his wife went there for lunch. The dining room wasn't open sat in a bar area. The bar is a bar suitable for evening snacks and bar food. seating is very limited they don't take reservations The food was good, not great, but good for the price.“

“Amazing establishment. The workers were kind, talkative and friendly. They made great recommendations and everything I tried was amazing. I did enjoy the aesthetic and the stained glass, but the food was amazing. I would recommend the Braised Lamb, French onion soup, and sorbet. Can't wait to return. Wonderful wine/bourbon selection as well.“

“Great food and the best customer service. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Usually great service and people, but you guys missed the mark tonight. The delivery person outside tried to give me at least 3 different orders that weren’t ours, and when we got home the chicken nuggets were missing the sauce, and the chili was missing the toppings and sour cream. Not a great outing tonight.“

“Amazing service with extensive wine listing and delicious menu. Got to try the 7-finger pork chop.“

“Great food and great servers!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“McDonalds is getting way overpriced and food is....ok at best. Thought I'd try Culvers in FRG. Was NOT dissapointed! For about the same price you get a DELICIOUS, HOT, LOOKS LIKE THE PICTURE burger, huge portion of hot crispy fat fries and a soft drink of your choice! I'm not one to take pictures of my food, but I did! It was a masterpiece! Loved it!“

“We went here last night for Singo and what a great time! There was about 40 people playing and it was soooo fun!!! The food here is OUTSTANDING! They have a limited menu of flatbreads and sliders! Don’t be fooled by the limited options. They offer all types of flatbreads and sliders! Delicious!!
The 2 girls that run this, Tara and Kenzie, are fantastic!!! These 2 did everything from cooking to bartending to serving! The service was top notch!

We will be back and make sure to try the meatball flatbed ?“

“We needed a place for dinner while driving home from a weekend getaway. We luckily found Bobbers thanks to reviews on Google Maps. Boy were we glad we went! Lake perch fish fry was fantastic as were the grilled shrimp and curly fries. Can’t wait to go back on a nice day and sit outdoors with a beautiful lake view!“

“I am so grateful for such great service here! I have my go-to’s but I’ve gotten to try sandwiches, soup, pasta, salads, cookies, and everything has always been super tasty! Because of that, I have started getting food to-go from here whenever I can. Be it through DD or in person ordering, they get it right EVERY time which sadly can’t be said very often anymore. Everyone is super helpful and courteous too. Only great things to say all around and I hope you guys keep up the great work you’re doing! :)“

“My 2 1/2 year old grandson and I had lunch there today. The staff treated us with kindness and good service! We also enjoyed the beautiful fish pond!“

“loved it! friendly staff and great food.“

“We had an amazing dinner and service with my two daughters for the youngest 8th grade graduation. They treated us like queens and we ate like it also!!“

“Their Butter Burgers have a unique and tasty quality. Though thin - like most fast food burgers - they appear to have a slightly larger diameter than Shake Shacks patty. Their fries are also crinkled. Their shakes are above average though not quite as thick as Shake Shack; especially enjoyed their unique mint chocolate chip shake.“

“BUT i ordered online last night and did not realize until much later that we were missing an item (dessert). They were already closed. Its frustrating. And aggravating. The rest of the food tasted great though. I willcall tomorrow to let them know. No, i dont want a refund or credit. I want my cake 😢😢😢“

“Pretty good place and service is wonderful.“

“Always a great experience.Been coming here since the old days.Love how they decorate the basement And look forward to all the events they have planned coming up That always keeps us coming back Not to mention the outstanding service.We got from Michelle and a great conversation with Paul Who has great ideas for a great future.“
