New American Restaurants near Des Plaines, IL

“My flight got canceled so it was the end of a long day when I finally made it to the Hilton Garden Inn, but the service at the hotel was great and the Cobb salad at the restaurant tasted like I had just picked everything fresh from the garden. Definitely stay here again!“

“I went because I wanted a pop and a salad.
Wasn't fancy or fussy.
Is clean, tabletops were cleaned quickly after someone left.
No pop was out or out of order.
They brought you the food after you ordered from the counter, you didn't have to wait at the counter with a bunch of people.
My salad was huge. There was tons of bacon, lots of seasoned chicken, piles of veggies, and two good sized containers of salad dressing included.
Fresh and yummy ingredients.
Was pleasantly surprised.
Good value too.“

“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! ;-)“

“The food and drinks were phenomenal, along with the atmosphere. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in this establishment. Our server Scott was absolutely outstanding. There should be more of him in the world! I definitely recommend this place!“

“Amazingly delicious food and drinks! Our waiter, Colin, is the best and the added bonus is that he looks like Adam Ruzek (Patrick Flueger) on Chicago PD.“

“Last Friday evening ( Oct 17, 2025 ) I came in with my 2 sons - we are regulars at the Glenview Yardhouse for years now - we are always treated so kindly , my sons and I Love The Atmosphere, The food is always just The Best - my sons are always asking me when are we driving back down to The Yardhouse in Glenview :)) The music selection is So Awesome also ! The server Matt took care of us last Friday and he was So Kind Always !!!!!!! My sons Love The Cheeseburgers and Hanging Bavarian Pretzels, the Calamari, the Mac and Cheese , the Orange chicken and Jasmine rice , the loaded pepperoni pizza and the desserts !!! We always leave with lots and lots of leftovers :))“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Prairie Grass Cafe. The spring rolls were loaded with delicious perfectly cooked shrimp and the accompanying sauce (sweet chili with garlic and cilantro) plays nicely with them. The flounder with roasted carrots and parsnip-potato purée was as delicious as it looks. It was generously portioned and beautifully plated. We also enjoyed the mussels with parsley, shallots, and breadcrumbs pasta. My husband is Sicilian and it reminded us of the pasta con le sarde that we love to have in Sicily. The mussels were plump and delicious. The wine list is very nice. We found wines we really enjoyed and they were reasonably priced. We enjoyed the Attems, Pinot Grigio, Friuli, Italy ‘22 with our mussels and flounder, and the Fritz Haag, Riesling, Germany ‘21 with our pumpkin pie for dessert. Service was perfect.“

“We held a beautiful rehearsal dinner in the Mirage restaurant/bar. Service and food were fantastic, and the staff was more than helpful. Thank you so very much!!!“

“Thoughtful staff. Very fresh ingredients. Amazing flavors! I loved the Al Pastor taco with the contrast of savory meat and sweet pineapple. The chicken taco was good too. The Tortilla Soup was a SURPRISE favorite. A messy first time for a churro, flower, and toasted marshmallow hot coco. Everything tasted so flavorful. Prices were reasonable.“

“Greeted with a friendly smile by the young woman behind the counter. Brought glass bottle of water and glass to the table. Food was brought out in a few minutes. Food delicious and Carmel latte was good. The sourdough bread was delicious. Asked to one if my breakfast spots in town.“

“Industrial-chic decor with brick walls and exposed overhead ducts. The menu had so many delicious-sounding options that we'll need several future visits to explore more. We were there for lunch. I had the short-rib sandwich with fries. The meat was tender, the ingredients tasted fresh making the sandwich deliciously flavorful. The fries were perfectly cooked. The portions were generous enough for leftovers. Would definitely return.“

“The wife and I went back to the old neighborhood to visit somebody at the hospital driving around we found modern plate. We figure we’d give it a try. There is no doubt in my mind that this place eventually will be a five star restaurant. The food was phenomenal service atmosphere But I will tell you this much. Don’t go there with your good. Looks thinking you’re gonna buy something bring your cash, but it’s well worth it. The wife and I cannot wait to go back to try something else.“

“I am a regular and love the street corn tots and loaded hush puppies. Please keep them. Love the beer though!“

“Hi, I’m trying to contact you since one week on FB Messenger and IG. Could you please check my message ? It’s related to franchises. Best. Simon C.“

“Wow, this place is AMAZING? Great service, hopping atmosphere, and every single one of our dishes were delicious. We will be making this establishment a regular breakfast place during our Chicago visits! Food ordered was: Breakfast burrito Croissant Sandwich Buttermilk pancakes with a side of crispy bacon!“

“Absolutely love it. we enjoy the food.. and the stuff is great 🤩“

“We ate at Phase Three today at the recommendation of my doctor. And it did NOT disappoint. We even got a complimentary meal from the Executive Chef so he didn’t waste the plate after taking pictures of his new special. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. There were so many flavors and they all blended so dang well. They even had some unique beer option that we brought home. If your down in the Chicago area or willing to make the trip, it’s definitely worth it“

“I loved this place! The Cinnamon Roll Waffles and the Ham and Cheese Omelette were absolutely amazing! The staff was great as well. I will definitely go back when I'm in town again.“

“Delivery was fast and hot. I got the pan pizza and the crust was perfect.“

“Sat at the bar and was served by Vanessa- she was absolutely amazing, attentive and charismatic. The food was also delicious; I highly recommend the burrata flatbread. I will just say the lights were a bit too bright- it felt more clinic than reasturant.“

“Been there several times since opening during the week and this past Sunday, took our grandson which was home from college , he loved it too, invited a good friend from church will be there Wednesday. Check it out proud to say its in our neighborhood.“

“The staff is very friendly. The food was good. The atmosphere was wonderful. I recommend you guys to get the hamburger there they have different ones.“

“Was driving past and saw a Jamaican flag in the window so I turned around. Thank God I did the food is so good ya'll I had the lamb, spinach and mashed potatoes. I'm still outside the restaurant in my car posting this cause the food is gone already!! An amazing Shout out to the owner miss tanya and her staff a wealth of knowledge a true blessing. Also thank you to Mario from Goebbarts farms for serenading me with live music while I waited!!“

“My wife and I watched the bears vs packers game. Great atmosphere and fun time watching the game. However, BOTH bathrooms had issues and one urinal overflowed causing a mess. When the game was over and we left, we were blocked in by someone who made up a parking spot in the back of the lot. Multiple people made up spots all over the lot. When I addressed the issue with the front desk and spoke with the manager, they did nothing and said to call the police. It is not up to the customer to manage your property. I thought it was a joke of a response when a concern was raised.“

“We have discovered this place 3 years ago when we are searching for an outdoor casual dining. What we found was a great place that had outdoor seating on a deck patio with umbrellas and a TV set to watch sporting events. The service was friendly, and the food was great. The drinks were very reasonable. The menu was large having everything from sandwiches to dinners. We never had a bad experience there and brought family and friends to enjoy the evening sitting outside. We always come back.“

“Had the Rose burger and it was 👌🏻“

“After a long day of travel, we were welcomed by Sid our amazing server! He made delicious suggestions and made sure we enjoyed them. Amazing service!“

“We went to the City's Edge and were served by "Princess Allison". She makes us call her that or she won't serve us. I had the Nachos with Chicken - absolutely delicious!“

Everything was first rate the entire staff was first rate you can't go wrong eating at the restaurant. ps the cocktail were well made that was a extra plus, first there but we will back.“

“Blueberry Wine is awesome!!“

“Don’t order the short rib mini sandwiches! They were 90 percent fat. When I informed the waitress she indicated that there is always fat on those sandwiches. My sandwich was mostly grizzle and fat. My friend had the same thing but hers at least had some meat.“

“nice people and good food.“

“the ham cheese egg sandwich is very good“

“Food, service & atmosphere has always been amazing here. Its a favorite lunch or dinner spot for our entire family!“

“My daughter had her wedding at this venue on 8/4/25. From the point of discussing the space, to reviewing the contract, to discussing options, to answering ALL of our questions, to the tasting, to the day of, our event coordinator (not sure that's her specific title) Amanda was nothing short of stellar. She was patient, thorough, and accommodating ensuring that my daughter was comfortable in a very important time of her life. Our event captain (again not sure of her title) Kylie also was amazing -- handling each of our requests quickly and pleasantly. These two ladies are an asset to your company & should be commended for their fantastic work ethic. All the event staff from the bartenders, to servers, to bus boys were pleasant and efficient. The food was delicious as well. Our event was amazing & memorable largely due to the associates we interacted with.“

“We held an 80 person event here and the coordinator Caryn was detailed, communicative and so nice! The waitstaff and bartenders, the food runners, and managers all helped to run a smooth luncheon, the busboy was attentive and kind! Everyone loved the event and the food and we already want to book again!“

“Came to a metal militia car meet today, ate some Indian style wings and other food here that were 10 out of 10, I never had good wings like that before, the owner Mike is an awesome guy, treated us like family, well definitely be coming back here again to try more of their food“

“The healthiest place out if all food places in on the Terminal 5. I ordered this bowl via a screen where I could add more options which I wanted (vegetables), so I received a balanced healthy bowl. The size is quite big, the taste is not bad. I didn't see any tables so I ate it in a waiting area.“
