“Such a nice place to visit! Staffs are very friendly and always has an energy. The foods were excellent as well. I had bunch of rolls and I love salmon and the quality of the fish were so good. Very fresh :) I would definitely come here again“

“Delicious food with reasonable price!“

“The Mother’s Day brunch was very well coordinated and executed! It was super busy, but it didn’t impact service at all. And the food was delicious as always! Mi was our server, and she did a great job!“

“I came in with a half off coupon I had purchased. It expired but they honored it for enough to cover my meal. That meal was amazing. the steak was cooked just like I wanted. the potato was great and be loaded potato soup was great. Highly recommend.“

“I think this is literally the best Indian food place in the Midwest! Please go here!l, you won’t be sorry.“

“The food is great. Excellent BBQ with a wide selection of good beer options. We had a great meal. The bbq is pricey but I can see it being worth it for the quality as a treat every once in a while. However, the additional sales tax at the end of the meal was quite the surprise. 11.75% sales tax to dine at a restaurant is way too high. The tax was also 11.5% at Jarlings to have some ice cream so seems to be a Champaign wide thing. This is way too high on top of all the other taxes we already pay in this state. We will likely avoid traveling to Champaign in the future to dine when the are other towns and good options like Effingham that have more reasonable tax rates. Nothing against Black Dog obviously. I know they don’t have any control over local government tax rates.“

“Great food and great beer! And our server Mesa was an absolute sweetheart! Thanks so much for the positive first experience! We will be back for sure.“

“Great calzones in a timely fashion! Never disappointed by these guys. Definitely recommend!“

“Order from Door Dash, food was still nice and warm even on a -3 degree day! Mac N Cheese was super tasty. Chicken fingers a bit spicey for my taste but good. Chicken Gravy had LOTS of Black Pepper (too much for my liking). Sould tame it down on the Black Pepper on the Chicken and Gravy as those condiments can be added for each persons taste.“

“Quality! Delicious! Kind! Customizable!“

“Hopscotch is our go-to for a light breakfast. The croissants are stellar and on par with those I've had in Paris. We do not leave without taking some of the Ham and Havarti croissants home with us. They encased the perfect amounts of ham, cheese, and mustard in a flaky pastry garnished with Everything Bagel seasoning on top. I love that they have a very European sensibility on the amount of meat and cheese that are meant to be a flavoring in a pastry and not a grotesque monstrosity that is American portions. Their scones are on par with their croissants, light and with a perfect crumb, neither too biscuit-ish nor too cookie-ish! The cupcakes are sublime - no notes. The service is exceptional, friendly and efficient. And we absolutely love the cozy, welcoming, funky neighborhood vibe. I wish we had more places where we feel immediately at home.“

“I tried Stango for the 1st time at the West Side Arts festival from the food truck. The food was fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. I ordered the beef samosas and wow!!!! I can't wait to try other items offered.“

“Had early dinner at the Big Grove and was completely blown away. Food was excellent with a variety of menu items that had me wishing my stomach was a bit bigger. I sat at the bar as I was dining alone and the bartender did a great job of explaining the various items I inquired about as well as suggesting a perfect craft beer pairing. I only get to Champaign a couple of times a year, but this will be my go-to anytime in the area.“

“Always a treat picking up cakes from the market ... the most heavenly treat and free smiles every time I stop by on Tuesdays ❤️“

“What a unique dining experience! This Chinese restaurant in Champaign,IL operates on a self-service model that keeps costs down—they don’t charge tips, only a very small cleanup fee.
When you walk in, you grab a menu, notepad, and pen, find your own table, write down the menu item numbers you want, then bring your order to the cashier and pay. They accept both cash and credit cards with no extra fee for card payments.
The menu selection is enormous—probably one of the largest Chinese restaurant menus I’ve ever seen. There are so many options that everyone should be able to find something they like.
Guests also help themselves to tea, drinks, utensils, napkins, and teapots, which makes the whole process simple and efficient. Despite the extensive menu, the food arrived surprisingly fast.
Another plus is the ample parking, making it easy to visit even during busy times.
If you’re looking for delicious food, quick service, great value, and don’t mind a little self-service, this place is definitely worth checking out. I will definitely be back!“

“We host two holiday parties every year at Papa Del’s. They do a fantastic job setting up their upstairs space for a festive, fun party. The food is top notch, and the bar service is friendly. There’s extra space to set up games, and they have a great AV system for music or watching a sporting event. We have hosted parties here for 10+ years - and we will be back!“
