“First time eating at this Japanese restaurant very nice very clean
Food is exceptional they serve large portions
The server that we have was excellent in the atmosphere was spot on. They have Booth seating you can sit at the bar or you can sit in front of the hibachi grill and hopefully your eyebrows don't get singed lolol the cooks put on a show so there is a little bit of flame involved. We were sitting at least 10 ft away from one of those grills and felt the heat I am surprised that people have their little children very close to that fire from the grill
But other than that everything was excellent and will be coming back very soon“

“This place is an absolute gem. Oldest pizza place in McHenry county, and a lot of history related to the owners, recipe, and the pie as it is now. The woman running the place is awesome to talk to and really knows her stuff. Do not pass on the opportunity to try this place out if you can, and get your pizza well done!“

“We found you guys years ago: your our favorite spot: Just tried your cauliflower pizza Omg it was fantastic!!!!!“

“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.“

“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 😁“

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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I absolutdly love coming to Krystal Thai with my family. Every time we are there, we're greeted with very friendly faces and we've even made personal connections with some of the staff there. The food is wonderful every time we go, and they are very accommodating in both social and food-related situations. I highly recommend coming here with your family and friends, Krystal Thai has truly been a comforting and stable part of my life for many years.“

“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.“

“Probably the tastiest breakfast joint in the entire area. Good food, especially the bacon and pancakes... and the acai bowl was terrific, and which I wish they would put back on the menu. Jesus is the best waiter in the whole tri-state area I'm convinced!“

“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.“

“great service and delicious food !“

“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...“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“
