“Worth the wait and must try! Beautiful and unique venue in the unassuming town of Des Plaines. Our server was kind and welcoming, food was delicious, drinks were fun and tasty. The only two items that were less than ideal, the horrible acoustics (incredibly loud) and although it was too on my list to try, the chicken shawarma rolls were underwhelming. Even with those two items, the great service and food quality it's still worth the 5 star review. We sat upstairs, which very much appreciated, being out of the hustle and bustle of the downstairs. Looking forward to trying the brunch and the outside patio... overlooking the water.“

“This place is a gem! My Dad & I go here frequently. The menu has a huge selection. They give you alot of food for the money. Everything is delicious, I have yet to have anything bad. Food is fresh & cooked perfectly. Staff is very friendly & hard working. Gail is usually there each time & is a very nice person. I love the mom & pop atmosphere, it reminds me of places we'd stop back when I was a kid. Very comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend giving this place a try, you won't leave disappointed. 5 stars in every category but I'd give them 10 if it were an option.Parking: Lots of parking, only issue is pot holes but if you watch you'll be fine. Ample parking & close to door. There are a few spots right next to door for those with disabilities.“

“Our experience was nothing short of spectacular – from the generous serving sizes that left us satisfied to the delectable flavors that danced on our taste buds. The ambiance at Tiffany's is complemented by a staff that goes above and beyond, providing impeccable service with a friendly touch. We stumbled upon this culinary haven on the day before New Year's Eve as we were in town for one of your really good friends wedding at the Westin (wedding was crazy good too ) , making it the perfect prelude to a joyous celebration. After our initial discovery, we couldn't resist organizing a group outing the next morning, and Tiffany's delivered yet again with a breakfast that surpassed expectations. If you're in Rosemont and seeking a breakfast spot that combines exceptional food, sizable portions, and friendly service, Tiffany's is undoubtedly a must-stop destination. Prepare to embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds enchanted and your heart satisfied.“

“Every bar has a gimmick. Nowadays a lot of them getting too gimmicky. Not this place no gimmick. Hard to find in Chicago.Tried to drink all of their $4 tall boy PBR. The chicken quesadilla, how I got me and my coworker home. If I wasn’t in town on business I would’ve drank all their $4 tall boy PBR.In all seriousness, was told they were under new management. Obviously it’s working. Staff was entertaining, locals were non stop entertainment, food was crème de la crème of bar food.“

“I like this restaurant and I always get the pizza puff or the cheeseburger and fries. My only complaint is I wish the pizza puff was cooked a little longer because it's not crisp but a little soggy. They have bathrooms and not a big selection of soda options. I Always get my favorite seat and they have plenty of parking also. I would choose this over any fast food because it's cooked fresh and never cold.“

Their outdoor patio (during warmer months) is also pet friendly! That's a huge plus because there's not a lot of establishments that allow pets. If you haven't already, definitely check this place out!“
