“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.“

“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.“

“Horse trainer and falcon guy were very impressive. Hard to understand the medieval accent, but what can ya do. Don't go for the food, go for the show and atmosphere. Bring your voices! Use my coupon code for 15% off till the end of 2026: 15MT #sponsored #notreally #realcoupontho #sponsorme“

“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!“

“The food was good. I ordered 2 grilled chicken sandwiches at around 9pm from the drive through. The order took not even 5 minutes and it was so good. You could tell everything was fresh and of high quality. Also, both the drive through window girl and the gentleman that walked out my order to me were nice. Good job Culver's!“

“If you are a chips and salsa fan and choose your Mexican restaurants based on that, you are going to be very disappointed. Chips were WAY to salty and the salsa was a chi-chi's/Pace clone.....very mediocre at best. Usually that is not a good sign of what is to come, but in this one case, it did not tell the whole story. The food was actually very good. I had steak enchiladas mole which was outstanding, and we also had shrimp fajitas which were also excellent. If you like mexican seafood dishes, this is definitely the place for you, and the menu has a ton of seafood options. We had a queso appetizer and it was decent.....but brought out cold. Definitely would've been better if hot. Overall it is worth giving this place a try. I would strongly suggest to the owner....less salt on the chips, and a new salsa recipe.“

“This place is awesome! My husband ordered the cowboy pork chop from the menu - It was perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. It was tender, and it was in a fantastic portion. I had the rack of lamb and it was the most tender lamb I have had in years and deliciously seasoned. It was reasonably priced and they provide provided a full meal - Perfectly cooked potatoes/fries and vegetables. Service was fast and the atmosphere is so relaxing, warm and inviting. We look forward to returning soon!“

“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!“

“Enjoyed the Tuesday, 5 Taco special. Had them made Mexican style...Steak, Asada,and Chicken. Absolutely delicious! Meats were so flavorful, and plentiful! The smoky taste, with the cilantro and onions paired up perfectly.

Next time going for the 1/2 Chicken dinner...have been told the chicken is astounding 🙂“

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

“Muy sabroso lo recomiendo“

“Pretty good place and service is wonderful.“

“We had a wonderful time at Seasons 52 today, celebrating a family event. In spite of this being an almost last minute reservation, we got a great table (thank you to the super nice hostess, who made sure we get it), and enjoyed the food and the service from Mark. We will be back 🙂“

“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! :)“

“Friendly, Cozy, old fashioned family diner, breakfast , Lunch + diner… hard to find restaurants like this !! Good FOOD !!!“

“ordered small concrete mixer.. asked for chocolate custard with Reese's peanut butter cups but received a medium size cup of plain custard“

“i don’t care how much he’s already making, the employee Carlos deserves a raise and a promotion! i was in town for a convention at the center across the street this past weekend, and culver’s was SLAMMED every time i came in for a meal; that never stopped carlos from making sure every aspect of my meal was just right. i hope his excellent service is recognized!“

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

“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!“

“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 😢😢😢“

“good food great service waitress very helpful.“

“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!!“

“Just had my dad’s surprise party here and everything was perfect from the staff to the food to the atmosphere. Honestly recommend them 10000%! Everything was perfect! Will be requesting the serving staff we had for future events.“

“We stopped in for a late lunch. Got really lucky and missed the lunch crowd. Our waitress, Michelle, only had 2 tables to help so she was able to provide great service and some great conversation as well. The food is incredible. Overall, an awesome experience. I'll definitely be back. When you go, ask for one of Michelle's tables. She's awesome!“

“We pulled up in our boat and the staff helped us to tie up our boat.
They sat us down right away.
The wait staff was very friendly.
The Pulled Pork sandwich and the Turkey Wrap along with the Bang Bang Shrimp were delicious. Great food and Great Service 👍 👌 😀“
