“Hi. I would like to say thank you to Jacki at the Crystal lake location. She was so kind and showed empathy when I was there on Thursday 8/1/2024. It’s been a difficult week and my mom had passed away that morning. That was my first meal in about a week. She was so kind to pay for our meals. Thank you so much. I would like for that owner to know this and we will be returning back soon! 10/23/2024- we had Maya as our server today. She is also another wonderful asset to your team! Thank you for the Bingo night!“

“I was there for a fundraiser last night. The food was really good, especially your salsa! Our server was attentive and kept track of our large group really well. We hadn't been there for a long time but will definitely be back again! Thank you so much.“

“it was my first visit there yesterday and all the food was absolutely outstanding! from taste to creatively being plated/presented was mouthwatering!! I highly recommend!“

“The gentlemen at the counter were courteous, enthusiastic about their products, and very entertaining. I could have stayed all day! They had a sample platter with turkey and ham salad, bread slices, and pimento cheese spread. It was delectable. I can't wait to go back with my girlfriends and enjoy a quaint lunch in their café.“

“Tiny little Bar and grill. I've been going there for 20 years then one of the customers I have never seen before give me a hard time. It was the small disagreement over condo assessments then the owner decided to bar me. The wonderful bartenders he had let go and the place totally lost its appeal. The owner wouldn't even let me go in to get food to go. Ridiculous. But they did me a huge favor since it went downhill it's not even worth going in there anymore.“

“love this place. great service and drinks. the food is well priced and delicious“

“Great atmosphere and servers.“

“Chilis is a favorite spot for my kids when we go out with Grandma and Grandpa! My youngest has some severe allergies and he is now old enough that he wants to be ordering his own kids meal when we eat out. The manager and staff were so kind and accommodating on our last visit and let us know the items that were safe for him. We are happy to have another place where we know we can safely order food together as a family. My little guy was so proud to be able to order his own kids meal. My kids also LOVE their chips and salsa.“

“The Quarry is an absolute gem. From the cable park to their events and live music, they truly do it all and do it incredibly well. The energy, the attention to detail, and the way everything is run makes every visit feel like an experience, not just a place to go. Whether you’re there to ride, listen to great music, or take in a well executed event, The Quarry delivers every time. A must visit and a standout in the community!“

“Great food and drinks always a fun place“

“My wife and I came here for a date night, and everything was great! The food and service were both fantastic. It was a little noisy, but not too bad. Plus, we were there during a relatively busy time. We both got the sirloin steak, and it came out great! It is a little pricey, but honestly, that's to be expected from a steakhouse. I would definitely recommend it, though.“

“Delicious wings , rings, pretzel bites and cheese , and aioli fries ! Everything was so good! 😋“

“Always great service and excellent food! The pizza is the best!“

“You can always count on Tommy's Red Hots for some quality fast food . Salad burgers, Italian beefs, the best italian sausage from any restaurant, decent gyros and more. Their famous $3 dog special (2 dogs any way, fries and a drink) is gone, replaced with an equivalent at 3X the price. But, it's every bit as tasty as it has been for decades.

I can't begin to count the number of times I've had a good meal at Tommy's, and there's no doubt I'll be a customer many times in the future.“

“I haven't been here in a while and won't be going back. I ordered eggs Benedict. I could not cut the english muffin even with the steak knife they gave me. It was hard as a rock. The ham was fried deli ham and the hollandaise sauce was watery. I expected better than what I got. My husband had the breakfast burrito and said it wasn't the greatest either. The waiter was not very attentive and so soft spoken it was hard to hear him. Goodbye ihop!“
