“We hadn't been there in probably 15 years. The food was delicious (had the Blackened Trout and a wonderful Wedge Salad).

Our server Ian was friendly and very attentive.

We look forward to returning soon!“

“The food was amazing!! I need to go back and try more of their menu.“

“So I went to Alinea last weekend. Apparently it’s one of the best restaurants in the world. Then I went to CPK this weekend. All I can say is, this award was given to the wrong restaurant. CPK all the way! The best Mac and cheese in the world!!! Also, their pumpkin cheesecake and key lime pie are incredible. I still wish they had their roasted vegetable salad, but I guess I’ll survive. BEST restaurant hands down!“

“The food was great, service was excellent! The atmosphere is happy and the Magician made it even more enjoyable. Definitely going to become regulars.“

“I wish I had discovered this place sooner… what a wonderful neighborhood gem. The perfect place for a healthy snack or a guilt free quick meal. And not just healthy, but incredibly delicious too. Absolutely the yummiest avocado toast ever!“

“A Truly Unforgettable Birthday Celebration at Medieval Times Schaumburg!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars)

I recently hosted a birthday celebration at Medieval Times Schaumburg, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment we walked in, we were transported to another world—a medieval kingdom filled with knights, royalty, and excitement. This was the perfect venue for a group birthday celebration, and here’s why:

Immersive Experience

The atmosphere at Medieval Times is truly immersive. The castle entrance, the banners, the sounds of trumpets—it all makes you feel like you’re stepping into a living, breathing medieval story. We were greeted by the knights and staff as we entered, setting the stage for an epic evening. Even the décor and costumes added to the authenticity, making it easy to forget you were in suburban Schaumburg and not in a faraway kingdom.

Amazing Group Dining

The four-course feast was one of the highlights of the night! It’s served without silverware (a fun, authentic touch) and features hearty, delicious dishes like roast chicken, BBQ ribs, potato wedges, and corn on the cob. The food was fantastic and more than enough to satisfy even the biggest appetites. Everyone at our table had a great time sharing the experience, laughing, and enjoying the meal together.

It was especially fun to dig into our meal while watching the action unfold right in front of us. Everyone was so engaged, cheering on our knight (we were on the Red team!) and getting caught up in the excitement of the jousting and sword fighting. The food was served promptly, and there was plenty of time to savor it while soaking in the show.

Thrilling Show and Spectacular Entertainment

The show itself is a thrilling combination of jousting, sword fights, and medieval drama. Our group was on the edge of our seats the entire time—cheering, gasping, and even groaning at the tense moments. It’s a high-energy, action-packed performance that’s perfect for a group to enjoy together, especially if you’re looking to get involved. The knights really put on a show, and you could feel the competition in the air.

What made it even better was that the birthday guest of honor was recognized during the show, and they even received a birthday shout-out from the queen and the knights! It was such a fun touch that made the birthday celebration feel extra special. They also received a crown, which was a great keepsake and photo op.

Exceptional Service

The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience. They were friendly, attentive, and really made us feel like we were part of the medieval court. They even brought out a special birthday dessert (apple pie) to the guest of honor, complete with a small celebration. Everyone sang “Happy Birthday,” which made the moment feel even more magical. The entire staff was incredibly professional and made the night run smoothly, which was especially important for a large group.

Perfect for All Ages

One of the best things about Medieval Times is how it caters to all ages. We had kids, teens, and adults in our group, and everyone had a fantastic time. The show is exciting and easy to follow, with enough action and drama to keep even the most easily distracted entertained. Whether you’re young or old, the experience is one that brings people together.

Memories to Last a Lifetime

After the show, we had the opportunity to take photos with the knights and the princess, which was a great!

Overall Verdict

If you’re looking for a birthday experience that’s full of excitement, fun, and unforgettable memories, Medieval Times Schaumburg is the place to go! The combination of immersive entertainment, delicious food, and exceptional service made this one of the best birthday celebrations I“

“Amazing service ! Bar tender Jimmy was absolutely great. My boyfriend and I stopped by for a quick drink and soup before the movies and had a Good time thanks to him!“

“My wife and I enjoyed the Spring menu when we visited Seasons 52, the keyword being 'enjoyed.' It's always a treat to dine at Seasons 52, and this time was no exception. From the Tuna Tartare appetizer, to the entrees of Carmelized Scallops and Shrimp and Grits, to the shot glass-sized Turtle Cheesecake and Oatmeal Cookie desserts, everything was delicious. And Valentyna, our server, did a great job taking care of us. It had been over a year since the last time we visited Seasons 52. We won't wait that long next time.“

“Once you eat here, you will not want to eat anywhere else.“

“Amazing service with extensive wine listing and delicious menu. Got to try the 7-finger pork chop.“

“Some of the best sushi I have had anywhere.

Edit: 1 year later and it was even better than my last time. The fish is incredible and the chefs know exactly what they are doing. Fantastic flavor combinations and one of the rare places they actually put some wasabi under the fish on nigiri- no soy, ginger, or wasabi needs to be added. Definitely give it a go.“

“Just stopped in for an early lunch, the food was delicious. The staff was friendly and the place was super clean. It will be our new favorite place for a quick fresh meal.“

“豐富美味價格合宜，算是道地日本拉麵。服務很好，工作人員很友善！“

“Always a dining experience for my tastebuds. The service, the food, the ambience. You couldn’t ask for more. The sushi rice is, hands down, the best we’ve ever had. Questions answered, recommendations given, new adventures with unknown cuisine. This is our go to for the authentic taste of Japan.“

“Great people and delicious food. We don't and won't go anywhere else! absolutely melt in your mouth brisket! MMMMM!“

“Incredible experience. Very cool interior, the staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating, and the food was absolutely outstanding. We got the Kal Bi and Pork Kimchi Bokum. It was an absolute FEAST for 2 for about $65. Came with 5 sides (plus refills), rice, soup, lettuce for wraps, etc. and topped it off with a couple Haagen Dazs ice cream bars. One of the best culinary experiences we’ve had in quite some time! Thank you Chungkiwa!“

“I recently visited a charming Nelikona coffee place in downtown Palatine. The rose 🌹 coffee was delicious. I loved that it was served in gorgeous tea cups, adding a unique touch to the experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for gatherings or meetings. The staff were incredibly friendly, which enhanced the welcoming vibe. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great coffee experience—I’ll definitely be back! 🌹🌹“

“I tracked my order and it stayed on "we are baking your order". It never alerted me it was done, so I went in at the end of the estimated pick up time and it was ready. But it was now, not fresh and hot like I like it. I order from time to time and this was the first time I was not happy with my pizza.“

“I have been in this restaurant for more than 4 times. I highly recommend it. There are a lot of parking. Once you come in; you are greeted with a warm greeting and and enthusiastic smule by the host or owner. The servers are very accommodating , friendly and helpful. They check on their customers for whatever they need until your meal is done. The busboys are hardworking and any requests will be granted right away. The food/dishes are cooked just the way you requests. Their steaks and eggs are up to par. The prices are decently priced. For what they serve you, good amounts of food. Well worth it. Freshness and presentations of foods are stupendous! Never did I have any complaints the way the place is ran. Very clean. Wide open. Eventhough i live far. I kept going back and i know when i leave, my tummy is full, content and some take home left overs. Check their menu. Check the big breakfast meal. You can't go wrong with their reasonable prices. Thank you so much, Elena and Miguel. Who still recognized me after all these months. Great customer service!! Clean kitchens and toilets too! That's how one can tell how the place is well taken cared-,of.“

“Great Vegan menu! The margaritas are wonderful“

“Beer-battered shrimp tacos, with their special topping, plus we added a slice of avocado, was what we had for dinner tonight. My husband stopped midway through his meal and said this was the BEST TACOS …and guacamole! Thank you Taco Shop!!!“

“Love the New owner Jay. The food - that includes vegetarian as well as non- veg delicious. Authentic & portions were large. Go with your family, carry out - all good. Jay treats us like family. I see him stopping at all the tables ensuring their dining experience is enjoyable.“

“As usual, great pizza! Some people, many that I know, say it's better than Giordanos. The crust is thicker and crunchier and the amount of sausage and pepperoni is simply more than Giordanos, but they are both great pizzas! This Schaumburg location is very ample and clean, although a bit outdated in it's decor.“

“The best authentic dumplings around. Very friendly staff and home-y environment“

“Caps never disappoints! Love cosmic cookie the best…hard to find anything to even compare. The kids scooping make the trip even better. If you happen to run into Lucas, he always has a smile on his face and is so helpful. Thanks!“

And, I'd like to add that it's not very close from us. Great, fresh and delicious sushi bowls. Worth upsetting your significant other for!“

“Nino’s….. I love you guys! I just had the minestrone with tortellini soup, grilled chicken breast sandwich & meatballs delivered…..wonderful comfort food after a stressful work week!!

“great food and great atmosphere. the serve is hit or miss. mostly get great servers, but this one female server we had last night on May 4th, 2024, she was ride and short (as in didn't want to be social.. cold attitude. didn't even say Happy Birthday to my parents when we told the server we are here to celebrate their birthdays. the female server was such a k.u.n.t and had the audacity to say, "OKAY." really?? just an.. okay??! bad attitude. THANK GOD she had to leave early and another waiter took her place! he was so pleasant and we actually had him a year ago! it was nice. so pleasant and gave my oarents a special dessert and candle. if we were stuck with that female waitress, she'd probably purposely do something awful, th way her personality was.“

“Its a great place if you are looking for great tacos that is no nonsense. Place is inside the little Mexican grocery store and has three tables, doesn't look the prettiest but it is a great place. Reminds me of great taco joints in Cd. Juarez. Prices were great too. Food was made fresh because when I got my tacos and they were so hot I couldn't hold them long. Chicken tacos were excellent. Easily coming back here.“
