“The only place I will go to get authentic Filipino food! Every menu item feels like home! My favorites are the pancit, afritada, bistek, & sinampalukan. Never ate anything that I didn’t like! The catering menu, pricing, and portions never disappoint. I drive 30-45minutes just for this place. So worth it!“

This will be my new spot for Chinese food.
Also no tummy ache the next day which has happened to me before after different Chinese restaurants.“

And I was very impressed! Photos in the comments 😆“

“There are very few places that you attend where you can honestly say every experience was better than the last. Everything from the cocktaisl to desert was amazing and each server has their own unique way of making you feel as if their world is revolving around the needs of the customer. I dine out regularly, and never come away thinking that I was actually happy to have paid for a dinner, but not with Eddie V. You Can talk the talk, if you can walk it, and they can!!“

“If you’re in Chicago and looking for amazing food, S2 Grills Chicago is definitely a spot you need to check out. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by extremely friendly staff who made us feel welcome right away. The service started off great and stayed that way the entire time. We were seated very quickly and didn’t have to wait long at all. The food came out fresh and hot, and no joke; everything we tried was extremely delicious. We decided to try a little bit of everything so we could really experience the menu. We ordered the oxtails, Alfredo pasta, lamb chops, fried catfish, rib tips, baked mac & cheese, and candied yams, and every single dish was on point. The flavors were incredible and everything was cooked perfectly. Another thing that really stood out was how clean the restaurant was. Even the bathrooms were spotless, which always says a lot about a place. Great food, great service, and a clean environment; you can’t ask for much more than that. Hands down a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend S2 Grills Chicago if you’re in the area.“

“The food here is FANTASTIC. We ordered the stuffed banana peppers, coconut shrimp, salmon that’s on corn tamale cake (oh my goodness), seafood linguine, and lobster mac n cheese. We were both really impressed with how delicious all of the food was. Our waiter Jorge was so kind and attentive. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended.“

“Love, love, love this place. The food, the atmosphere, the good looking crew, man! My first experience was to celebrate my daughter's birthday in August, the next was a birthday celebration for my sister, and God willing, I will celebrate my birthday in May. But trust, I will not wait until my birthday to go, mainly because I don't live in Illinois, but because I frequent this state, Al Bahaar is on my list of stops & I encourage family and friends to join me! Great job!“

You only thought you might need something at the table and it would appear out of no where. The food was all home made and you could tell made from traditional old recipes and a lot of love thrown in. You feel like you are in a small cafe in Italy. If you want a great Italian dining experience please take the time to enjoy Made In Italy, because my wife and I plan to go back.“

“I love the sauce“

“The food was okay, but it definitely could be better 🤔. The sauce felt like it was missing something, not quite hitting the mark 😕. Some of the veggies, like corn 🌽 and broccoli 🥦, were overcooked, which was a bit disappointing. Also, heads up—it’s really buttery 🧈, so if you’re watching that, keep it in mind. Overall, not terrible, but there’s definitely room for improvement in flavor and prep.“

“From the minute we walked in everything was wonderful. Our server was friendly and beyond accommodating. As was the chef when we requested a dish not on the menu. The food was exceptional. The best Chinese food we’ve ever had in the suburbs. Definitely compares to Chinatown.“

“Thanks to Azzy & Alejandro for making our dinner so enjoyable. The food was delicious (I had the fish tacos & my husband had the pork chop) - service was excellent. The night before was busy & loud and Azzy saw us come in right away - seated us in a quieter space & brought us exactly what we needed - good food, a glass of wine & a Guinness from the tap. Perfect.

Also, during our 3 day stay at the hotel - every breakfast was delicious and served by such caring, nice people. Easier to get the day started with service like that.

We will be back for sure.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I came before they were closing and he took care of me , I absolutely love JJ Fish & Chicken! Every time I go, I order the chicken tenders, and they are always fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. The customer service is excellent—everyone is friendly, welcoming, and quick to help. It’s hard to find a spot that consistently delivers great food and service, but JJ Fish & Chicken nails it every time. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and a great experience!“
