“The sweet owner walked across the tracks this morning to give my daughter an avocado egg sandwich before taking the train to Chicago. He heard my daughter wanted one and he was so kind to Bring her one. Btw my daughter enjoyed it on the train! Thank you again for your hospitality!“

“Definitely recommend this cafe to anyone!! Friendly service lady even gave us free juice samples tastes great. And by far the best coffee Frappuccino ever tried you can tell their ingredients are made with fresh beans rich in flavor. Thank you for being a great small cute shop 10/10!!!“

“Love the food, Wine Wednesdays and of course the amazing staff!“

“The cupcakes are creative and delicious! I like the carrot cake one with bunny ears, and the one with pink buttercream and the Cheshire cat grin.“

“My all-time favorite breakfast spot in the area and choose it countless times over other places. The food is always fresh and so so good. The service from the waitresses who've been there for a long time (idk their names) is always spot on. We always feel well taken care of!
I have to mention though, after coming for the mother's day brunch for the first time, I experienced something that made me feel icky. The waitress we had (I believe she is newer) quickly added a 20% tip to our bill without saying anything, and then still not saying anything, handed me the card reader which prompted ANOTHER tip. I'm glad I noticed, as it happened very quickly. When I finished, she skipped through the survey questions on the reader. I left feeling like I was trying to be tricked and it didn't feel good. We only had a party of 3 adults and 2 toddlers. Not sure if it was protocol for the event, but it felt sneaky and not good.“

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

“Thank you Crystal Lake Noodles and Company for great service!“

“They made me a cake for a baby shower from an inspo picture. It looked exactly like the picture and it tasted delicious. The pricing was good and they delivered it to the venue for me. I highly recommend them!“

“BEST peanut butter smoothie bowl I have ever had! Staff is super knowledgeable and they have everything you could ever need for your healthy lifestyle. 10/10 recommend and I can’t wait to go back. Thanks Digz!“

“I met former coworkers for dinner here and was my first time dining at this location. Our waitress Alane was fantastic and the manager Rob even stopped by to check on everything. We had appetizers, main courses and desserts. It was all fantastic! Alane made sure waters were filled regularly and other drinks were refilled promptly. The restaurant was busy, but felt cozy at the same time. We were seated in a booth and was absolutely perfect.“

“Best vegan and vegetarian food ever 😋 if it’s your first time there, you have to try the southwest pizza and avocado smoothie, also, the cupcakes!!“

“Went to celebrate my wife's 1st week at her new job. Food was fantastic with good portions. Restaurant was very clean, service was World Class. Peach glazed pork chops were one of the best pork chops that I've ever had. Wife had the hanger steak, and loved it.
Our only issues was the extremely loud and obnoxious group that had wandered in from the bar. Unfortunately there was no management visible to let them know that these people were ruining our experience. Our server was great, and it was obviously not her fault.“

“I love getting my morning coffee from Elder + Oat a few times a week. It is a little bit of a haul from my house but totally worth it. Have usually get their monthly seasonal cold brew I have never disliked it. Nicole is the sweetest barista! I highly recommend this cute coffee shop!“

“The food in Bimbo restaurant is delicious , well prepared. Wish it was a little bit more variety of dishes with vegetables. Salads kind of boring, no eggplants dishes at all. About design of the rooms. One long room where we were sitting has no wall decor at all, one wall was from bricks and 3 walls dark color. One window with blinds which makes this room so dark if you want to close them from sundown of bright sun at 5 pm. Should be curtains or window shades for better protection. Please, hire a professional designer to improve your decor and atmosphere. We ordered sea bass dish , it was good , crusty a little bit but definitely not worthy $40 small piece of fish with 4 cherry tomatoes in a sauce. Calamari that we had for lunch before were too soupy, ate them with the spoon. Overall its good place to eat.“

“Amazing service and they make a great Ruben sandwich“

“Friendly atmosphere with live music this morning“

“Great Chinese food. Especially the Oriental Delight. And the best egg rolls in the world. Nice people, they appreciate your business“

“We had our rehearsal dinner here Oct 17. It was amazing. The food was allergy friendly. The drinks were great. Prices were reasonable. This is now in my top 3 favorite restaurants. Can’t wait to come back. Also the creme brulee was amazing. 🤤“

“Great selections from $3,$4,$5,$6 plates, but it adds up pretty quick.

Update 6.2.26
Went here for daughter bday. Its been awhile and new things being offered. The quality of the sushi isnt the best but its ok. Prices went up a little since we were there years ago which is to be expected.“

“Simply the best around - quality ingredients with perfectly executed texture & flavor - friendly staff - “since 1971” says a bunch - our favorite food in Woodstock!“

“We typically use the drive thru. We like your food, always fresh and tasty. Tonight I had the chicken avocado and strawberry salad. The salad was fresh, walnuts were sweet and crispy, dressing was very creamy. The only criticism I have is my chicken avocado and strawberry salad had no avocados. I do understand sometimes you can run out of ingredients or supply chain issues can interfere with menus. I would just ask to have this made known to us upon ordering or upon discovery, all in the interest of good customer service that you usually do deliver.“

“Menchies is amazing and great for the grandkids! I asked this girl (looked like a teen) her name was Selena or something for help because I’m old 😂 she was super patient with my kiddos! The flavors are amazing! I usually don’t like teens working cause they’re rude but kudos to the parents cause these kids were on the ball!“

“deliciosos, sabor unico y exelente servicio y pagas con cupones. exelente.“

“Love this place! Great Golden Shrimp!! Of course Boba tea, mmm!“

“Main dish was good. Salad dressing needed some oil as the consistency just dripped as if no oil was added. The dressing puddled on the bottom of the bowl and did not dress the salad. The iced tea tasted like it was made from concentrate. This may seem a little nit picking but at their price point I feel the critique is reasonable.“

“During the 7 Friday’s of Lent we went to 5 different fish fry’s, and without a doubt Moretti’s was the best. Not only was the price the best, the amount of fish was the most without AYCE. Great French Fries, homemade coleslaw and plenty of tartar sauce. Another plus was Happy Hour Coors Light drafts for $3. I’d like to thank our server ( Will M. )for doing a great job.“

“i went to get dinner for my family tonight . I had my granddaughter with me. we ordered and then I asked if they could bring it out so I could get my granddaughter in car first. i got 5 wonderful, well-mannered employees willing to help me. I give this place a 10 plus. Thank you so much!! Mary Chesney and Lily“
