“First off the service was great. They were very nice people. There are more tables than you'd expect but I imagine at busytimes might be more of a take out destination. And it seemed clean and bright inside which is good. The best food was the burger, juicy...it was a good solid burger. Kids weren't as big fans of the chicken gyro (would've gotten the real gyro but there wasn't much left, which probably means it's popular, when I got there, so would try that in the future). Fries were decent. They make the shakes from scratch (just probably need to clean the blenders (and/or ice cream scoopers) more btw uses as the plain chocolate shake had a strong minty note (also I wasn't paying attention but chocolate shakes gotta still have added choc syrup, I dunno if it did, which prolly means no). Oh and gotta use fresh bananas for banana shakes, syrup or powder, to quote the bard Mando, just isn't the way. And that might be my biggest gripe with an otherwise really solid diner-like joint.“
“Good spot to get a quick donut and a quick coffee. There are always discount deals during certain hours of the day where you can get drinks for a few dollars. Otherwise there are special offers and rewards through the DD Perks program which you can install as an app on your phone. The only thing I do not like about this location is that traffic can get very busy in this shopping center sometimes.“
“The cookies are DELICIOUS! The company tries to switch up the flavors weekly and always does a great job deciding on new flavors. The cookies are very large too, and we split one between 3 people. They are approximately $6 per cookie, so a little expensive but worth it. I highly recommend trying this place! (Pictured is the Tres Leches Cookie)“
“The best of the best in the area - Capanari's Ice Cream. They are very comparable to Oberweis Ice Cream. Capannari is open seasonally from March until Halloween usually. They have rotating seasonal/weekly flavors along with your classic Ice Cream flavors - I really like the Madagascar Vanilla Milkshakes. The workers are also very friendly, there's a patio and garden outside you can enjoy your ice cream in or a small couple of chairs inside. Definitely try them if you're in the area and want some great ice cream!“
“Today was my first time trying this place, and after seeing the reviews, i was just expecting a generally good burger. I was genuinely surprised by the PHENOMENAL burger and fries! The shake was good as well. This was honestly the best burger i've had in a really long time. I will definitely be eating here again. I hate doing reviews, but they deserve the praise.“
“Pros: Donuts made fresh to order, so you get them warm! Many varieties to choose from.Cons: Their donuts are on the cake-y side. Not my cup of tea. And they don't have filled donuts like Boston creams. We got there around 2pm when the place was empty. Service was prompt (duh) but I wouldn't call it warm.Since I prefer raised or filled donuts, I probably won't be coming back.“
“Food was very good. I ended up with chilaquiles (with chicken breast) and my friend got the pupusas and dobladas. Really solid, and I appreciate the subtle differences in flavors between the Guatamalan dishes and standard Mexican fare. However, only 4/5 because ordering (in English) was difficult. I tried to get grilled skirt steak and a green chicken enchilada (as a single item, listed that way on the menu) but what was originally brought out was 3 green chicken enchiladas. I explained the issue and thought it was clear but ended up getting brought the chilaquiles. My friend got his pupusas but the dobladas was not brought and had to be ordered again. The food was delicious and I'm not a picky eater so this wasn't a huge deal, but others that need to order a specific thing, in English, may have trouble. I will be back though, and I will brush up on my Spanish.“
“The Ice cream and candy was amazing. It is really cute and the service is great. My only small problem is that the ice cream was to sweet and the actual flavor did not really shine through. The cost is a little high for the amount of ice cream you get. Overall great experience and would definitely go back again.Kid-friendliness: The staff is incredibly nice and helped my kids. My kids get scared when talking to strangers, but the staff was patient with them. I want to thank this staff member very much. You made this all much easier that it would have been.“
“It's an ice cream stand. Return from the Marytown Shrine, I couldn't ignore the 'flavor of the say - blueberry " sign calling me. Many flavor served in cones, shakes, Sundays or concretes. I had a the blueberry as a malt. Proper flavor levels for the blueberry and the sweetness, not overly sweet. Great formulation, thick but it would move through the straw. Solid place. Service? The got the order correct, prepared it promptly and the change was correct. No problems. Would return“
“We love these cookies! The chocolate chip is always a family favorite but we like the fun of the variety too. Curbside or delivery service are a huge plus!Vegetarian options: Dessert!Parking: Huge lot. Dedicated spots for curbside service.Kid-friendliness: Nowhere to eat inside. But the flavors are always exciting for the kids. Especially the extras like shark gummies.“
“Amazing place. I suggest changing the name to the Michoacana Elite! I was amazed at how nice it looked compared to any other location I have visited. The food is fusion, and the samosa smash pizza was to die for. I highly recommend this place! Of course, the sweets are fantastic, “
“The quality and variety seemed great. The cashier seemed distracted. The atmosphere was cramped at best, unmovable at times. Nice for a nice date night stop. Not so great for my kid, He felt rushed by other customers. Would recommend the melt aways. We had mint and likened them to juicy Andies mints.“
“I came to Andy's with some friends after they were shocked that I've never tried it or heard of it. It was on the colder side for a spring night but that didnt stop anyone craving something sweet. I was surprised to see such a long line for the drive thru. But it goes quickly. We decided to park and order at the walk-up window. Depending on where you park you can get blocked in by the drive thru lane. They don't have seating. It is a walk-up order counter. I like the fact that they had heaters in the standing area to help keep you semi warm. There's a lot of different options for mix ins on their menu ranging from sweet to savory. I decided to go with a small concrete butter pecan. The custard is very creamy and it's cool to see it being freshly made. The quality of the pecans really made the concrete. I would definitely stop by Andy's again to try some different creations.“
“Fantastic selection and premium products made by "Chocolate Shoppe" out of Wisconsin. The flavors do rotate some, but they usually have non-dairy and sugar free options on hand. Flavors range from traditional (chocolate, vanilla, caramel) to more exotic (blueberry cheesecake, peanut butter cookie dough) and all kinds of creations ("fat Elvis" with banana, peanut butter and chocolate chips or the "exhausted parent" with bourbon, espresso and chocolate chunks)You can get scoops (cones or dish), shakes, sundaes with a large variety of toppings, or the "Scoopzilla", which is something like a dozen scoops, maybe more? We may need to host a party just to try it!The staff are friendly and they really hustle to serve customers quickly. There is no inside seating but there is a large parking lot with ample space or a block north of Palatine Road on Windsor is Lake Arlington so a perfect place to take your ice cream to enjoy.“
“A Chicago staple! This place gives authentic ice cream shop vibes and it's a great place to stop when I'm home in the summertime. Shop workers were quick and kind, and the place was pretty clean considering it had quite a few groups of people in there.I went with a classic Mint Chip and it hit the spot! The kids size is packed with ice cream, so save a couple dollars and get that instead of the small.“
“This place is soooo good! It’s currently almost February and I’m still patiently waiting for it to open back up. I’m basic so I usually get a mixed cone with butterscotch and girllll it’s bomb. My man’s got some sort of apple caramel sundae one time and oooooOoOoO, to die for!The absolute only thing I wish was different is the parking situation. If you go here, just park on the main road, don’t pull into the lot.The small town non-corporate vibes are fantastic, the service is quick and super friendly, the prices are sooo affordable. I usually spend less than $10 on 2 people. Everybody should absolutely bring your money here!Parking: The parking lot is extremely tight in space. There’s only about 10 spots in the parking lot itself. BUT just park on the main street and you’ll be fine.“
“Yesss I love a long time Iove for Suzy's & have been missing it since it left Gurnee! So glad I was able to stop into this location. So clean and tidy here. Tons for flavor options. It is kind of tucked away in the back corner of the complex but tons of signs with clean directions. Tons of toppings to choose from. Price is by cup which I like so you know exactly how you are paying. Check out their social Media as they have deals like half price days. Worker was super kind and had lots of energy. There are a few table options inside and options outside too. Hope to be back soon!“

“There’s no doubt that this is the best ice cream shop in the greater Chicagoland area, however the staff is what makes the experience much more worth it each time we come. We came in a few nights ago and were helped by the lovely manager Zelle, who made my little brother’s birthday 10x better by not only treating him to a delicious sundae with a fun candy face and lots of sprinkles, but served it with a beautiful smile! Her and other staff were having lots of fun behind the counter and engaging in jokes and conversation with my family. They really made us feel like we were old friends to them, like regulars that they’ve known their whole lives, something you really don’t see anymore. You would think that’s how every service worker would be while working in ice cream? Nope, only at this Graeter’s. Thank you Zelle and thank you Graeter’s team!“
“The ice cream here is solid. I came with my husband and ordered a banana split with vanilla, strawberry, and one of the coffee flavors (the name slips my mind), but all of them were delicious. The ice cream was not icy, but it was hard-packed, and I wish it was softer. Also, I wish they had crushed peanuts as a topping, but they only had walnuts, almonds, or pecans. Overall, I would come again. I really liked the cheekiness of the decor and the names of some of the flavors. It's a chain, but it has a family feel. The owners were friendly, and the place was clean.“
“Late Sunday night can't believe they were open, didn't want to cook. Glad to be helped out by Rachel at the speaker and the window. I have managed retails and restaurant locations for over 16 years and an employee like Rachel is special. Very kind, bright and welcoming and witty banter to make my visit stand out. The food was great as well. Thank you Sunday night crew for a great experience.“
“Usually, come here for my fruit water-based smoothy. Good flavor, and it's nice and cold. I still get it in the winter. Staff are great people. I usually see the same servers. The location is nice and clean. I haven't tried any of the food since I only come for drinks and ice cream. I'll try the food another time. I will continue to come back when I'm in the area.“
“My wife and I along with our neighbors dined in on Friday. We went there for the Walleye and Cod dinners the Walleye was delicious, and the cod was not quite as delicious. It wasn't inedible but was quite dry and quite bland. We were a little disappointed with the Cod, but very happy with our meal.The employees were fantastic, the restaurant was very clean and the atmosphere was comfortable. Oh, I also had a scoop of chocolate custard and it was the best. Thank you, and we'll be back.“
“YoFruito has one of the freshest frozen yogurt you can find in the area. They have my favorite tangy plain frozen yogurt and all sort of yummy flavors and toppings! Also love their fruit freeze using real frozen fruits.Kid-friendliness: Toys and other things that can keep the kids entertained for free.“
“We love Hartigan’s so much it’s not even funny! They have so many flavors to choose from but we especially love that they have Peppermint Stick year-round! That’s our favorite. It also has ample outdoor seating and such charm. We can’t wait to continue building memories here!“
“SMOOTH FLAVORED YOGURT!Healthy alternative to sugary treats :)We were in the mall and happened to stumble upon this place. It’s a nice spot for hangouts. Great flavors and toppings. The gentleman at the front was very polite and friendly. He walked me through the steps for purchasing a cup. My son enjoyed the mango and strawberry yogurt topped with popping bobas.“
“It was a pretty decent dessert shop. Overall a 4.5. Great customer service. If you check in on Yelp, you get $1 off any size froyo bowl. Wide selection of drinks and froyo flavors. I got the strawberry mango real fruit drink with tapioca balls. 5/5. For the froyo I got a medium size with ube, lychee, and sea salt caramel pretzel. Ube flavor wasn’t very strong. Lychee was very refreshing. Sea salt caramel pretzel was very good. You can choose as many toppings as you want, as long as they can fit. I kept it simple with fresh strawberries, fresh cherries, and pomegranate boba.There is seating but be warned, kind of limited depending on how long loitering families will stay. When we got there, there were a couple Indian families hogging two tables. They were already finished eating/drinking when we arrived. They were still there after we ate. They were probably there for a couple hours. Parking lot is also very tight and small. Difficult for cars entering/exiting. No restrooms.“
“They need to come down in their prices but other than that a great place to dine in with the family, staff is TOP Knotch and the atmosphere well you can’t get any better than this! Come and find out for yourself I promise you’ll only leave disappointed with how much it costs!“
“This ice cream shop is a step above the rest. You immediately smell the sweet scent from the entrance which adds to the experience. For this particular Kilwins, there's only street parking, so there can be a bit of a walk if the downtown gets busy. However, the sign is brightly lit and easy to spot. They offer a wide assortment of desserts, including fudge, caramel apples (made in-house), chocolate-dipped cookies, and of course, ice cream. The worker happily gave us fudge samples which was a nice surprise. I tried the chocolate cherry walnut which was delicious.They had over 20 ice cream flavors to choose from. I had the toasted coconut. The flavor was great, but it was elevated from the bits of crunchy chocolate pieces. Unfortunately, there's no seating available, so you'll have to eat standing inside or find somewhere else outside. Prices are on the higher end, but I'd consider it a gourmet ice cream shop.“
“My brother, my fiancé, and myself go here every Friday right when they open. The owner seriously makes us feel like more than just customers. She remembers us and greets us with a smile every week. The good vibes as well as the great selection of froyo keep us coming back. We will not go anywhere else. This is our froyo home.“
“Parking: There’s always somewhere to park!!!!!Kid-friendliness: Kids have so much fun at crumbl and these cookies bring families closer togetherWheelchair accessibility: It’s easy for elderly and disabled to access’s the inside of the store“
“If you like soft, chewy cookies, you really should try Crumbl! Some call them underbaked but IMO, they're usually perfect. Each week they have a new lineup to try and some are simple while others are a bit more unique. Located by Binny's on the corner of Lake Cook rd & Weiland, they're open every day but Sunday. On Sunday night, the next week's cookie selection is posted on TikTok, YouTube, & instagram. Milk chocolate chip & semi sweet chocolate chip are rotated every other week. Check 'em out!“
“I've never been to a Culver's in spite of living near one in a few states. The burgers put me in the mind of a smash burger I've had somewhere else. Good but not the best when I think of a great beef burger. My preference is one from Longhorn or Burgerhaus.“
“I do like Culver’s fish sandwich. My sister went to pick up 3 sandwiches for my dad, myself and my sister. When she got home I put my hand in the bag to get sandwich out and felt something warm and in just a wrapper was my fish without a bun. I felt like I was in a horror movie about to unwrap a warm heart or something. Who was the dipshit that did that? My sister always ask for a hamburger bun because I do not like the thick bun the fish comes with. To all workers at Culver’s please pay attention when an order is placed.“
“Definitely 1of the Nicest Cleanest !! Dunkin / Baskin Robbins I've been in . Very spacious actually have nice size PARTY ROOM w a Giant TV inside, Tvs throughout, benches , stools, booths, nice comfortable Lounge chairs n sitting area n Sitting area for kids w kiddie takes an chairs !! And Realy Great People Working There Very Friendly Great Attitudes actually met a part owner today and complimented Him !! And Fresh DOUGHNUTS PRETTY SURE THEY MAKE N DISTRUTE FROM THIS LOCATION !? EITHER WAY THIS MY NEW ALLTIME DUNKIN BASKIN ROBBINS. NO MORE HOCKEY PUCK FRENCH CRUELLERS FOR ME !!!??“
“We ate ice cream at multiple locations across Chicago and this one was an unexpected stop since we were touring locations from the filming of Home Alone... well, let me just say the ice cream is the BEST we've ever had... and we come from the land of Braum's, so that's saying a lot. The raspberry chip was my personal favorite, but our group tried multiple flavors and loved them ALL. We also tried iced coffee which was so-so - I'd recommend sticking to the ice cream. Go early and often!“
“I have now visited this place a few times. I was here when they first opened and they needed to work out the kinks. I visited again when their pastries seemed to only come out of the refrigerated shelves and now they have a case with pastries. The two women working were nice when I arrived both greeting me separately when I walked in. One worked solely on drive thru orders and didn't help out the main counter if there was no one in the drive thru. The other working the main counter took her time making my drink of choice: hot mocha with oatmilk and an extra pump of chocolate (not a coffee drinker here). She filled my mug to the brim with artistic yumminess. It's a fairly open concept inside with two Jeni's ice cream coolers along one wall and a refrigerated cooler with juice cold brew canned coffees, bagels, fruit and other items. There's plenty of seating and plenty of space so you aren't on top of others. They have bistro tables, high chairs with a counter along two windows, low tables for 2/4/6 people for privacy to collaboration, and they have comfortable chairs and couches with coffee tables. It's a great place to start your day, conduct business, meet up with family and friends or to just kick back with a nice cup of Joe and a decent nosh.“
“I've been trying to look a good matcha ice cream place in Chicago for the longest time and I FOUND IT! Releaf is located in the cutest Japanese marketplace, tucked away in the corner amid other restaurants. I got their Black Sesame and Matcha mixed soft serve on a cone. Honestly, there isn't much to say except that it was delicious. The quantity is really great, swirl was aesthetically pleasing to look at, and you can taste both the matcha and black sesame. The staff said that the soft serve is definitely stronger compared to the ice cream scoop. They do serve drinks during their normal operating hour, but after like 6/7pm, they only sell soft serve and ice cream after those times.“
“This is a cute little gelato shop right in the heart of downtown Libertyville! They have a nice selection of gelato, that seems to be made fresh there. It's not the best I've had, but definitely still recommend! The staff there has always been super nice as well.“

“During my recent visit, something truly heartwarming happened - I unexpectedly ran into an old student of mine. It was a bittersweet moment filled with nostalgia and joy. This experience made my time at Rainbow Ice Cream even more special, turning it into an unforgettable outing. ( I'm still young BTW ) The staff is incredibly friendly, making you feel welcomed from the moment you step in. The icing on the cake is the fact that it shares space with Buona Beef, ensuring there's enough seating for everyone. Not as loud as expected and the dinning room was clean offered a lot of natural lighting. I highly recommend Rainbow Ice Cream for its top-notch service, tasty treats, and the potential for lovely surprises like mine. It's a definite must-visit!“
“The Churos were seriously delicious, crunchy, sweet and nutty. The variety of toppings and sauces adds to the deliciousness! The place is small, looked like its geared for to go orders only. Orders take about 10-15 minutes since they make it fresh every order. The staff was friendly, recommended!“
“Nice to see the pizza assembled right in front of you! Good selection and you can pick your own topping combo. They skimp on the fresh basil leaves, but I usually tell them to double it!! They also have salads and delicious gelato. Their wings are decent, but I wouldn't come here just for them. The owner is very friendly.“
“I've ordered online from this location about 10 times in the last year and they get it right every time no issues whatsoever. Even during busy lunch hours when they had a packed drive thru they always get my online orders perfect when placed through their website. This location of Culver's is a perfect example of what they all should be like.“
“Culver offers a delightful dining experience with its nice selection of dishes, ample parking, and great taste. The restaurant boasts plenty of seating, making it an ideal spot for gatherings of all sizes. Its spacious layout provides a comfortable dining atmosphere, and its convenient location adds to its appeal. Whether you're craving classic comfort food or exploring new culinary delights, Culver has something for everyone. Overall, it's a fantastic choice for a satisfying meal in a welcoming setting.“
“The ice cream is fantastic, the only downside is the service is kind of mid. They sometimes take forever because they’re always understaffed but the food does not disappoint! They always are asking to tip on their computer though which is super annoying considering they just stare you down while you are on the machine. All the menu items are diverse and I prefer the marshmallow, strawberry banana, and strawberry chocolate ice cream!! Also all their teamonades are super good!!! I prefer raspberry, peach, and lychee. They also sometimes add the actual fruit and a lemon piece into the drinks. The ambiance is kind of meh, it’s a very bright atmosphere but with empty and big spacing around the seats. Sometimes when it’s busy there’s not enough space to even enjoy your treat, but I love the ice cream and drinks! “
“Been going to Love's Yogurt for at least fifteen years. The owner is so nice. My daughter likes the salads and we both love the baked potatoes. Of course the yogurt is the main reason we come- and yeah, the toppings. Did you try the fat-free muffins? Yummy.“
“Best ice cream around! You gotta love the unique flavors- they've got everything under the sun in a combination! The chocolate fudge brownie is a smash with both my kids and me. My wife likes "Phish food"... sounds weird as heck but it's so good! The staff were quick and easy, too. There are a few tables in there, so be wary if ya got a big group and you come at a crowded hour. But I've never had a problem! And the ice cream is absolutely delicious!“
“GREAT PLACE TO BRING YOUR KIDS MY DAUGHTER LOVES IT SHE GOT HER SSKF A STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM SHE LOVED IT SHE ATE IT ALL IVE BEEN BACK A FEW TIMES THERE CHILLI DOGS ARE AMAZING TODAY I HAD A SHAKE IT WAS THE BEST ANGEL HAS REALLY AMAZING COSTOMER SERVICE I WILL BE BACK ?“
“OMG we found an actual donut shop! Since moving to Wisconsin from Cali, we have so missed corner donut shops. All we have in our area is the trash donuts from Grocery Stores, Kwik Trip, or Dunkin. This is the first actual donut shop we have seen and it did not disappoint. Big open space with lots of fun, large selection of donuts and a friendly staff“
“Went in a few days ago and was greeted by the owner who totally over-served my 2 kids in the best way possible. We ordered minis and he gave huge portions with lots of the toppings we ordered. You could see he did it because he thought it was fun and wanted to see my girls happy. That's a perfect local business, and one that serves up delicious treats alongside the excellent and warm service.“
