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!“

“A must have if you’re taking a trip to Rivers Casino.
I usually have the Macon Bacon Burger (i think that’s the correct name), and I get it medium rare and it is soooooooo good. I also add an order of hash browns and for just $4 more, it’s most definitely a great deal. They give you a very good amount.
The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because, just about everyone is very polite except one or two cashiers, who seem to be miserable working there but do make an effort to at least treat guests politely but you can definitely tell that they really gotta force themselves, not easy to approach them to order. Casino management, please take note about this, not good for business. Other than that, this is one of my favorite places to have a big juicy delicious tasting burger“

“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.“

“Came here to celebrate my wife's birthday. The staffs came by to greet Happy Birthday along with a card and dessert treat. The servers here are consistently courteous, respectful and attentive. A solid menu that delivers a delightful dining experience. This is our third visit this year and will continue to return.“

“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.“

“Amazing food! Delicious drinks! Beautiful views. Fantastic staff! Highly recommend!!“

“Had some beer and tried the pretzel here, and it was absolutely delicious! The pretzel was fresh, soft, and paired perfectly with a cold beer. If you’re looking for a great spot to relax and enjoy a good pretzel with your drink, this is it. 🥨🍺“

“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!“

“We had an excellent experience at Jackman & Co. The food was excellent, especially the cinnamon buns and the hash browns. I think those were the best hash browns I've ever tasted! And, to make it even better, while our food took longer than expected to arrive, the wonderful staff comp'd part of our check. They went above and beyond, even though we didn't complain to them about the wait. You can tell they have high standards for their restaurant. They've won my loyalty! Highly recommend.“

“Had lunch at Amerikas Restaurant, a vibrant Nuevo Latino fusion spot in downtown Oak Park. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere and an interesting menu inspired by Latin American flavors.

I ordered the Huevos Rancheros. 🌮🍳 I’ll admit, when it arrived, it didn’t look very appetizing or quite like what I expected from Huevos Rancheros. Presentation-wise, it could definitely use some improvement. Taste-wise, though, it was okay—not bad, but nothing that really stood out for me.

Overall, Amerikas is a nice place to try if you’re in Oak Park and looking for something different with a Latin fusion twist. I’d probably come back and try another dish from their menu next time.“

“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.“

“There is a home flavored taste to all the dishes. Very home style foods every time. very spacious atmosphere inside or outside .“

“My friend and I have come here several times and always enjoy our time here. The atmosphere is beautiful, calming, and you can have a conversation without having to yell. The food is outstanding especially the salmon croissant, the smoothies are just perfect. For those with diet restrictions as well. Great place to have good food, just drinks, conversations, contemplation or get computer work done. We go weekly to different places, all over and this is our favorite!“

“What a lovely restaurant! Great food and drink. I ordered the Chicken Avocado Shrimp and Eggs and Pineapple Paloma! They did not disappoint! My food was filled with flavor and cooked perfectly! The chicken and shrimp were a perfect combo. My drink was perfect, as well. It all worked together for a tasty combination. I will definitely be returning to this hidden gem!!“

“One of the most beautiful meals I have had in a long time. Stunning presentation, thoughtful bite construction, fresh ingredients, and well cultivated flavors. The service was incredibly attentive. Warm and inviting ambience. Can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Not a bad item on their entire menu! By far one of the best places in the Sauganash/Edgebrook neighborhood.“

“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.“

“Had the Rose burger and it was 👌🏻“

“the ham cheese egg sandwich is very good“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I usually wait a day or two before reviewing a place. But I have to say this place is doing it right ! Walked in on a Monday early evening, and surprisingly it was bumpin’. Ordered the throwback Cheeseburger, served with crisp light steak fries, and a classic dill pickle strip. Everyone was watching the Sox game, the dining room was busy and the outside patio is a great place to chill and watch the outdoor tv. Great spot for weeknight drinks and cozy evenings with friends and co-workers.“

“Great place for private event“

“nice people and good food.“

“Always a wonderful meal at Meg’s. Food, service, ambience, staff....all are outstanding!!!! A true treasure in Glencoe!!!“

“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.“

“Clean establishment, good food can't ask for anything more!!! Quick and great service“

“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!!“

“The restaurant was delicious! All of our food and non-alcoholic drinks were great, and the service was excellent. I also loved that they have a fish tank with a special fish who has an entertaining name. Be sure to ask what his name is when you go!“

“I was pleasantly suprised. The Fillet was fantastic . Served medium rare the way I like it. I could almoat cut it with a fork. The baked potatoe was asume as well. My server Holly was exceptional! She was pleasant, funny, and very helpful! Thank you Holly.“

“Great food and a great atmosphere!“

“Oh my!!

I'm literally still savoring the food and flavor as I write this review. 6/5 star.

Humble brag....

We're pretty good cooks at home. We're usually disappointed in our eating out experience. Its late and we wanted a snack before the kitchen closed down stairs (we're staying at the hotel attached). We saw the calamari, the Parmesan truffle fries and crispy brussel sprouts. _19, $9 and $11 respectively.

Much to our surprise, ever bite .... I mean every item was consumed. I found myself rationing off bites of the flakey calamari. The truffle was properly used. The sprouts we baked to a great texture, the seasoning was flavorful and on point, as the kids say.

I was very pleased. If ever back in town on business and I find myself here. I won't have to leave for any meal. Amazing!!“

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

“Great customer service Great food,“

“tasty char dogs and delicious shakes, I had the banana and my brother enjoyed his oreo“

“This is the best place to eat in Chicago O’Hare T5. Their bowls and wraps are all healthy, full of protein and good ingredients, and taste delicious. Pricing is also a plus as the average price is around $13 or less which is less than a quarter pounder meal at Mc Donald’s. The staff are all knowledgeable and friendly and the whole interaction was a pleasure.“

“Love this spot. Food is always fresh and hits the spot, especially the Italian beef. Service is fast and friendly.“

“Blueberry Wine is awesome!!“

“Food is delicious! Just what I’ve been looking for in the suburbs.“

“The food was delicious. Easy to just order and pick it up but they obviously have a large indoor dining area.
Fresh ingredientsband prepared properly. For vegetarians, it's a great option as majority of the food is all ready vegetarian, meat eaters would add that ingredient. A great option for eating healthy and craving a really good salad!

The atmosphere is 3 star and no knock on them but it's a fast food environment. Everything is clean.“

“This is a fantastic new spot located at the Wilmette Public Golf Course ⛳️✨ The place has been completely renovated and looks fresh and modern, which really adds to the overall vibe 😍 The menu is thoughtfully put together by an experienced manager named John, and you can tell there’s a lot of care behind it 👍 The food is great, and they also offer an impressive selection of top-shelf spirits 🍸

It’s exciting that the menu is still evolving, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how it develops over the summer ☀️ They’re planning an open-wall concept that will blend the indoor and outdoor spaces, along with a spacious patio where you can relax and enjoy drinks with friends 🍹 Definitely a place worth checking out!“

“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!“

“the owner is amazing! my first time ordering here, I thought i placed the order for delivery, instead it was for pickup. I called and the owner answered, I explained i didn't have a car at the moment and he personally delivered the order himself. I tried to give him a tip and he refused. the food was great and still hot by the time we received it. we will definitely be ordering again! thank you so much!“
