50 Best American Restaurants near Deer Park

“I have to start out by saying our server Zack was one of the absolute BEST servers I've ever had anywhere. He is so kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and hardworking! He anticipated our needs so we didn't need to ask and wait around for refills, he brought extra napkins with out us having to ask, a server who does their job without having to be asked always elevates the dinning experience even if the food is just alright.

The food: we ordered the buffalo cauliflower as our appetizer which was good but I wish there had been just a little more but taste and presentation were good. We split the Cobb salad and ordered the 5 cheese and tomato pizza but added sausage to it. Everything tasted good however I do wish the pizza was cooked maybe another 2 minutes. The table bread though with the oil omg chef kiss!

Overall we had a good experience and we will be coming back again!“

“Food was above average but not phenomenal. I'd give the overall experience an 8; chicken schnitzel lacked flavor and should have had Spatelzle vs just mixed greens. Other meals were fine and apps/drinks as well. Wouldn't say it's a must come back again type of reataurant.“

“We enjoyed another great evening at Coopers Hawk Kildeer. We choose Coopers Hawk not only for their great drinks, food preparation and portions, but also because they have substantial Gluten-Free options and dedicated fryers so everyone can enjoy. They take allergy consciousness seriously. While Kyle our server was prompt, courteous, and engaging I have to say the entire staff gave us a feeling they truly appreciated our choice dining with them. Everyone we spoke with or even passed in the hallway smiled and made eye contact. The Pretzel bread (including Gluten-Free bread) along with appetizers (Calamari & Brussel Sprouts) were the perfect size for our party of five(5) to share. We enjoyed a variety of dishes (Chicken, Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops, Spaghetti w/Meatballs, Gnocchi Alla Vodka, and Salad w/Chicken & Avocado), all delicious. Flourless cake and two other desserts were shared and delicious. Overall highly recommended as we have had consistent high quality food and service at this location.“

“Julie was absolutely fantastic as our bartender! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone had a great time. The drinks were excellent and her positive energy really added to the atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“What an amazing place and experience. The knights were very interactive with the audience. They performed well. You can tell that the knights care for the horses. Parking was really easy. Leaving was just a easy. The food was really good! Though it would have been great if the potatoes were cooked a bit longer. But everything else was fantastic! My husband took me here as a surprise 6 year anniversary dinner. And I cannot wait to go back with our kids next time.“

“what a great place food is delicious and atmosphere is good to have to say the chef is the best“

“Culver’s at mount prospect is a really nice and friendly place specially one employee...!!! I dont know his name but he makes every guest feels welcome..!!! And the food is really good..!! My daughters love chicken tenders and ice cream 🍨“

“I ordered a small request of chicken tenders and cheese curds (that's it!!) And it took almost 30 minutes for them to get it to me. So much for fast food. The worst part was I ordered takeout, so by the time I got home, both the chicken and the curds were cold. But every other time has been no problem, with really good food.

Parking: Lots of spots

Kid-friendliness: Really nice to children- they have special bags that kids meals come in, and prizes behind the counter for frequent visitors, not to mention the number of booths which we all know kids love for some reason...“

“Absolutely delicious. Great staff. Great cocktails“

“Great food and the best customer service. Can’t wait to come back!“

“We needed a place for dinner while driving home from a weekend getaway. We luckily found Bobbers thanks to reviews on Google Maps. Boy were we glad we went! Lake perch fish fry was fantastic as were the grilled shrimp and curly fries. Can’t wait to go back on a nice day and sit outdoors with a beautiful lake view!“

“My vehicle broke down on the way to pick up the food we ordered. They called me when it took longer than the time we selected. And they redid part of our order so it was fresh. Really appreciate the people here. It was just a bad day and they really went out of their way to do something for us.“

“Usually great service and people, but you guys missed the mark tonight. The delivery person outside tried to give me at least 3 different orders that weren’t ours, and when we got home the chicken nuggets were missing the sauce, and the chili was missing the toppings and sour cream. Not a great outing tonight.“

“To the staff at Libertyville Culver’s, thank you so much for taking care of Hanna during her Special Needs Transition Pathways work program. Hanna loved working there. Not to worry, we love Culverts and Hanna will be back!“

“This small, local business is bursting with flavor, nostalgia, and fun kid-friendly energy. The owners, Shari and Dave, are so kind and make you feel welcome, like friendly community neighbours. Decor is retro -style and the food and large variety of dirty soda options always hit the spot. We came in on a Wednesday, and we received a BOGO 50% off deal (Wacky Wednesday they call it)! Thank you for taking the time to explain the menu options and sauces/ dry rubs at the bar- they were all so tasty! We will surely be back!“

“fine course well maintained great food“

“I am so grateful for such great service here! I have my go-to’s but I’ve gotten to try sandwiches, soup, pasta, salads, cookies, and everything has always been super tasty! Because of that, I have started getting food to-go from here whenever I can. Be it through DD or in person ordering, they get it right EVERY time which sadly can’t be said very often anymore. Everyone is super helpful and courteous too. Only great things to say all around and I hope you guys keep up the great work you’re doing! :)“

“live just down the street from Lamp Lighters, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The food is always excellent—fresh, flavorful, and consistently satisfying no matter what you order. The atmosphere feels friendly and comfortable, like a true neighborhood gem.

A special mention goes to Amber, who’s not only incredibly attentive and professional but also genuinely kind and welcoming every time I stop in. She makes the experience even better with her great energy and warm personality.

If you’re in Palatine and haven’t been to Lamp Lighters yet, you’re missing out on one of the best local places around!“

“Everything tasted great tonight but for some reason the bun just fell apart...“

“Best burger and fries around. My friend introduced me while I was visiting Chicago for a wedding, and the Deluxe did not disappoint on any accounts. A scrumptious and dependable experience! Love all the dedication from the staff as well. Looking forward to trying some of the ice cream next time with maybe the roast beef.“

“We have been coming to Seasons 52 for our anniversary for the last 4 years. They always make it a special night. we were greeted with anniversary hospitality by not only the hostess, but our server, 2 other servers and the chef! This truly made our night! Our server Dani was wonderful! What a lovely personality! I would ask for her again as a server in the future. All these wonderful employees at Seasons 52 make it what it is. Not only a place for wonderful food, but a place to meet wonderful people and seeing truly happy smiling individuals. Thank you Seasons 52! See you again soon and not just for our anniversary! ;-)“

“McDonalds is getting way overpriced and food is....ok at best. Thought I'd try Culvers in FRG. Was NOT dissapointed! For about the same price you get a DELICIOUS, HOT, LOOKS LIKE THE PICTURE burger, huge portion of hot crispy fat fries and a soft drink of your choice! I'm not one to take pictures of my food, but I did! It was a masterpiece! Loved it!“
