“It was my first time ordering. I ordered when I walked in. It took about 15 minutes to cook. The pizza was made fresh. It was also cool to watch the owner making not only my pie but to others.
While the pizzas were in the oven, Cindy and I had an enjoyable conversation about food at other restaurants, which included chocolate cake and real strawberry milk shakes.
When I arrived home to enjoy my pie, I must say that it was one of the best that I have had in a while. It was worth the 30 minute drive.
Thank you Cindy! 😆 I will be back. 😀“

“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.“

“Ordered the beef and broccoli combo plate. First time trying the restaurant and I would recommend. Food was flavorful, fresh, and good value. I like that the dish came with your choice of 3 side items. For the combo platter would be nice to have an upcharge to substitute plain rice for fried veggie rice 😁“

“Great lunch menu, delicious. Great service.“

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

“Owner is super nice, came by and offered me a free taco from his food truck. Went ahead and gave it a try. Show some love if you ever see him around!“

“Have been here a handful of times over the years. Recently went back and had the savory crepe for breakfast. It was so good I'm craving it again and that's saying a lot because Syrup has one that doesn't even compare.

Also, it was surprisingly not crammed on a Saturday morning and the service was very attentive with everyone helping each other out. As a former server, I look for that chemistry in waitstaff.“

“Hola 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
If you're looking for a little slice of Mexico right here, La Mexicana Buena Vista is the place to be! 🌮✨

From the moment you step in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel like you’re home. We ordered a feast fit for champions: starting with the taco dinner featuring mouthwatering steak cabeza and al pastor that danced in our mouths with every bite—simply divine! Each taco was packed with flavor, and the toppings were fresh, making our taste buds sing! 🎶

Next up was the steak a la mexicana dinner, which came generously served with rice, beans, and a refreshing salad. The steak was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and paired perfectly with silky avocado slices. It's like a fiesta on a plate!

Oh, and let’s not forget the steak torta! This beauty was a gooey, delicious masterpiece served with rice and beans that felt like a warm hug on a plate. And the agua fresca? The horchata was a creamy treat that perfectly quenched our thirst alongside the tartness of the Jamaica.

The service here deserves a shoutout as well! The cooks were as polite as they were skilled, and the staff taking our orders were genuinely friendly. It’s clear they love what they do, which indeed adds to the whole experience.

In short, La Mexicana Buena Vista is more than just a restaurant; it's a delightful culinary adventure. Whether you're a taco aficionado or a first-timer, this place will leave you craving more. Highly recommend for anyone looking to satisfy their Mexican food cravings with heartwarming service! 🌮❤️

Can't wait to return and explore more of their delicious menu! You will not regret visiting this gem!“

“Super cute "authentic" vibes 🇲🇽 DELICIOUS food!!!“

“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!“

“Was my first time eating sushi and was delicious, I am sure I will go there again, The service was excellent,“

“We’ve had a great experience at the Krystal Thai restaurant on a cold Winter night.
We started with a delicious hot Thai tea, with delicate notes of vanilla and we ordered a sampler platter as an appetizer to share. Everything was very fresh and tasty, but the “Crab in a bag” was outstanding. It could be served as an hors d’oeuvre at a diplomatic reception.
Our dinner followed with Mussamun Curry with beef, which was very aromatic and yummy, and Stir Fried Basil with pork, also full of flavor. The spice level was just as we ordered.
The service was friendly and attentive and the decor cozy and authentic.
We’ve moved recently to Crystal Lake IL and I’m happy to have such a nice dining option close to home.
Thank you and see you soon again.“

“The Breakers was my mother's favorite place to go out to eat. I took her to The Breakers many times. We always enjoyed any of the many menu items that were available. Elizabeth Landers was her name, and I am sure you are familiar with her son Edward. The service was always top notch.She liked a Brandy Ice for desert!“

“Walker Brothers Pancake House in Crystal Lake is hands down one of the best breakfast spots around! The pancakes are perfectly fluffy, flavorful, and generously portioned, and everything on the menu is consistently delicious. The service is fast, friendly, and attentive, even during busy mornings. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great place for families or a relaxed weekend breakfast. You can really tell they care about quality and customer experience. Always worth the wait and a must-visit if you’re in the area!“

“Great food and drinks always a fun place“

“I just moved to the area and I came here for the first time after hearing great things about the place! I enjoyed their cream of chicken and rice soup and salad that came with the Prime Rib I ordered as my main dish. The Prime Rib was delicious, very juicy and tender, yet so tasty! What absolutely made my night was the server who was taking care of me, Miranda! She was so kind and took amazing care of me during the night! I will have to say she was the best server with the most bubbly, positive attitude. I will be back again and I will be requesting Miranda for my server! There's no place where you can get as much food as we got here with such great, low prices!“

“great service and delicious food !“

“Benjamin Parada and I ate dinner at Wings Etc. tonight! We pulled up to the building and called the number listed clearly on the signs, with an employee's assistance our "take out" order was placed! Ben and I talked in the car just as we would have when we were inside the restaurant. However, sitting in the car and wearing a mask felt so much safer than being in the restaurant! Our food was out to our car very quickly. Wonderful delicious and amazing are words to describe the good wings! Date nights look so different with Covid but this was a super safe and fun date night!“

“I have been ordering from here for dinner where I work. We all aty work enjoy the pizza & appetizer. I ordered a Chicken Ceasar salad, a small BLT pizza & an Italian Beef with giardiniera with a side of adjustable. Well my coworker told me she only received 1 small Ceasar dressing for the salad (2 or 3 for the salad would have it nicely covered), Italian Beef was a fully disappointment. I would NEVER recommend that at all. The menu for the Italian Beef is NOT true at all. The menu says "NOW WITH MORE MEAT", well I received more giardiniera then meat. When I called she told me that it was 6ozs. of meat that all beefs get. I can tell you as a former line cook that packaged Italian Beef that what I received was NOT 6ozs since I packaged 7ozs of Italian Beef. I DO NOT recommend the Italian Beef at all. I was excited to get the be since all I heard was good things but when I received it and looked at the sandwich it was giardiniera with very little Italian Beef and I received 2 large containers of auju. I was really DISAPPOINTED on the sandwich and the answer that they gave me. If your menu says "NOW WITH MORE MEAT" 6ozs is not enough. It was a GIARDINIERA sandwich with Italian beef... Other pizza I will not order anything else. VERY DISAPPOINTED.... Pictures will be posted...“

“Pizza is consistently good! Love the deep dish! Really appreciate that you were open on Christmas! Thank you!“

“Calvin provided excellent customer service at this Domino’s. He remade our pizza without hesitation and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. He was very friendly, helpful, and handled my concern professionally. It’s always great to see someone who genuinely cares about making the customer happy. Thanks again, Calvin!“

“Best steak tacos I’ve ever had! The steak is so flavorful and tender. This is my go to place when I’m in the area. Staff is very nice. So happy they now have a bar.“

“great food, good service, can't wait to go back. 👍👍“

“we've been going to Chen's for over 30 years at least once a month. people are awesome, the food is outstanding and the prices are exceptionally reasonable. disregard negative reviews. anyone that goes there on a regular basis would highly recommend. a nice family restaurant not a chain.“

“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!“
