“We ordered from here and were not disappointed! The food tastes fresh, clean and seasoned perfectly. After eating you feel energized instead of feeling bloated from greasy, heavy food. The quality is so good. We got a kid’s grilled cheese and our child loved it and the added fruit and fresh juice. The avocado toast was divine. The mushroom soup was super fresh and creamy; you can actually taste what mushrooms are in it instead of slop. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to have a quality healthy meal but need something quick and energizing for themselves or their family.“

The space is welcoming and energetic, making it the perfect place for both small, intimate gatherings and large, boisterous celebrations. The food is outstanding, with bold flavors in every dish. The salsa and chips are fresh and crisp, while the tacos, elote, and tamales showcase authentic Mexican flavors. One standout is the mango margarita—packed with flavor, featuring fresh mango pieces and a Tajín rim for the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Whether you’re looking for great food, a vibrant setting, or a refreshing cocktail, Fat Rosie’s delivers a well-rounded and enjoyable dining experience for any occasion.“

“This place is unreal -- especially for someone gluten free. I went in knowing zero about Burmese cuisine, but was walked through a series of dishes that have become instant classics that I crave: tofu gyaw, the tea salad, kyarzan thoke, chicken mango, and the goat curry. Do not sleep on this place! The food is fresh and meticulously prepared. The flavors are incredible and the portions filling. The staff are warm and engaging. 10/10 across the board.“

“Tonight was a busy night at the restaurant, but Anas and the team provided excellent service. Anas was courteous and made sure that we received our meal in a timely manner. A2B never disappoints!“

“Bardzo polecam restaurację Bacówka! Jedzenie jest przepyszne — wszystko świeże i idealnie doprawione. Obsługa bardzo miła i pomocna, a sama restauracja ma świetny klimat, w którym aż chce się zostać dłużej. Na pewno wrócę!“

“Had an amazing lunch!!! Food selection is amazing. I wound up with the Tuna Poke Bowl and it didn’t disappoint. Our waitstaff was attentive to detail. I am not a big dessert person when I go out, but the Key Lime Pie was calling our names. SOOOOO good!!! Thank you for a great meal. We will be back very soon.“

“first time today. had savory scone. Delicious! got 4 different sweet to go, excited to try them. Before leaving we got a Mango refresher and a strawberry refresher and they were great. Hopefully they will start shipping soon! Owner is passionate about the product and should be very proud.“

“So far I’ve eaten at Vasco’s twice with my coworker. The food is delicious. It is perfectly spiced, chicken is cooked to perfection and not dry. The garlic sauce is very tasty. It is very clean. The people working there are extremely nice and helpful. My coworker doesn’t know much about Indian food so she had a lot of questions. They were patient and answered all of the. The owner came to our table both times we were there to ask how things were. It is a place that you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. We are already planning our next visit.“

“The restaurant was not crowded, but it seemed like it took a long time for our drinks to be made. There was a 10% coupon that we really had to argue for the manager to honor the 6 of us with 4 separate checks to use. Our waitress did her best to work it out.“

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

“My husband and I just left here for the first time and it did not disappoint! The food, drinks and serve were fantastic. The food came out fast and the scallops were our favorite! Leo, our bartender, was knowledgeable and so friendly! 10/10 recommend!“

“Ellyns has awesome food and a very friendly environment. Never had something I didn’t like, and can always find something new on the menu. Great drink menu and specials. Ellyns will always be a go to!“

“Only complaint was that the dining room was noisy, so that it made conversation difficult. Most likely the result of a large crowd, with a 20 to 40 minute wait.

Vegetarian options: Depends on how strict a vegetarian. It is authentic Greek cuisine, so there are many seafood options. Strict vegetarians will be limited to roasted vegetables and hummus dishes, but they will try their best to accommodate.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free dishes are labeled on the menu, but I don't think this is a totally gluten free kitchen with separate prep and cooking areas.

Parking: Large self parking lot that can overflow into other parking areas.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of families with children dine here. Many options on a children's menu.

Wheelchair accessibility: Large dining area with good access to move around, including the washrooms. Very little floor transitions (bumps or steps) unless one is going to back private dining rooms.“

“Had the best server tonight! Great service and personality. Thanks so much Paige!“

“DELICIOUS! We were staying at the Renaissance hotel for the Pinball Expo. We came for breakfast and lunch. Everything was very delicious and portions were good for the price. If I lived in Schaumburg, I would be eating there every week. Wait staff was attentive always checking in on us.“

“So good. Delicious, tasty and all kinds of yummy. Everybody at the restaurant was so nice and generous. I highly recommend this place. We come to the area once a year from Canada and I think we’ll have to make this an annual dinner.“

“delicious vegan options!!“

“What a great restaurant! Came here to celebrate Father’s Day last night and had to write a review. The appetizer menu was extensive and tempting so we got a lot :). All were good with notable mentions to the chicken wings, takoyaki, fried oysters, sesame balls, and chicken buns. The ramen was so good with rich broth and fresh ingredients, you can tell this was lovingly prepared. Service was friendly and inviting, I knew it was going to be good when they brought my beer in a frosted mug :). Thank you for helping us properly celebrate the best Father a guy could ask for, my Dad’s face says it all. Check this place out, you won’t be disappointed. We’ll be back!“

“Recently celebrated a 70th birthday with the D'Alexander family. What a great event. The staff could not have been nicer, and attentive. You only thought you might need something at the table and it would appear out of no where. The food was all home made and you could tell made from traditional old recipes and a lot of love thrown in. You feel like you are in a small cafe in Italy. If you want a great Italian dining experience please take the time to enjoy Made In Italy, because my wife and I plan to go back.“

“Got a deep dish with their signature butter crust. Delectable. Space was welcoming and full of large groups of people having a nice time. I wish I could have gotten some strawberry Italian ice to take with me, but it would've melted on the long drive home. I will definitely return to this restaurant when I visit Schaumberg in the future.“

“It’s a nice place to eat. Unfortunately there was a party of 10 celebrating a birthday. They was very loud and obnoxious. Couldn’t really enjoy the atmosphere. Staff didn’t tell them to lower their voices. Maybe they need a special room away from the front so that other paying customers can enjoy their meals and conversations.“

“Great Vegan menu! The margaritas are wonderful“

“I had the pho. it was very good. Great for the cold days. great service. fresh hot food. I recommend it“

“Great venue and room for our wedding shower. Staff was on point and food was excellent!“

“My boyfriend and I love sushi and have tried places over the country. This was hands down the best sushi we have ever had. The owner was so kind and even gave us a special role to just try! The salmon was amazing. My favorite roll was The Grinch and his was That roll. We will be back again soon!“

“Best food I ever try !!! I love this place everything taste fresh. The homemade coffee cake is incredible.“

“Friendly staff and quick with the MEATS!!!“

“The Saturday buffet has many great options. Delicious!“

“Chicken shawarma is awesome. I did not like the meat shawarma is not something i would recommend at all, they used too many spices including cardamom which you cannot taste the meat. I enjoyed the chicken shawarma a lot. However, i have half of my meat shawarma and after I was feeling not good.
The service is nice and the people are friendly, prices are fine and the restroom is clean. They have a collection of soda and drinks, free parking.
Small couple tables not a big space but chill and clean.“

“Phenomenal food. The entire setting (dimmed lights, old school Italian color scheme) was tremendous. The food was exceptional. Looking forward to coming back.“

“Wow. WOW! Schnitzel sandwich 10/10, Old Fashioned 10/10, Mushroom soup - outstanding, Banana Pie 300/10. Complete surprise. Staff is excellent. Amazing actually. Magnus is a fantastic server and went out of his way to make everything great. The owner checked in and everything was top notch. Do yourself a favor and visit Babcock’s Grove House soon.“

“its so good and many to choose from. This would be a good place to go eat especially on date night.“

“I have been going there when they were located in strip malls on Ogden Ave for their buffet in early 2010, and now at their new location in Naperville. In my opinion they have better quality of food than others in the area. Also, not many people know of the buffet offerings on the weekends, which they need to put out the sign in front.“

“Love the drinks & food! Very cozy & classic!“

“Party sushi Trays - Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every bite was perfection.“

“Really good sushi. The all you can eat menu has most, if not all, available rolls. Plus hibachi and Mongolian bbq available as well. All for a very affordable price! Definitely recommend it.“

“Good ambiance! Good service! Great tasting quality food! Celebrated my birthday there night of December 15th, 14 of us ‘everyone had a Great time’! What stood out most was the warm hospitality and attention given to All. Definitely a night too remember! Thank you.“
