“Held our 20 year high school reunion here and had a great time. Essie and his team were wonderful. The atmosphere, food and service were exceptional. Would highly recommend considering the space for group parties or events. Great time all around!”

“Friendly staff and quick with the MEATS!!!”

“Good food and great atmosphere”

“well I had the pleasure to work here today, and even though it was court related I am so wanting and willing to help again on my own! its amazing that there are places and people who are out here in the world that we live in that care so much for others when mostly the people we have in our lives don't bother to try. I truly wish that more people felt more willing to give back to those who really need our help; rather than to take for their own selfish reasons and that is my wish. my recommendation would to have this place not change a thing but for people to change how they are to others! truly an amazing place to wana volunteer at or even to donate to give to those less fortunate!!! thank you for having me today!!!”

“This is my go-to AYCE sushi spot! I used to come here a lot when I was younger, but stopped since I moved out of the area. However, I recently came back and they did beautiful renovations! The quality of the sushi is great, fast service & order from iPad, and overall great price especially if you go for lunch (i believe it’s $22-23 AYCE lunch). Highly recommend!”

“We had a private 70th Birthday at the Downer’s Grove location last weekend The food (buffet) was great, and the service was top notch. Our server Rocky and his team were on top of every detail. Our 55 guests were taken care of like we were family. I’d highly recommend this restaurant for your events!”

“This Uzbek restaurant is amazing if you want to try new Halal cuisine. Give them try a had chicken shish kabob with rice was very tasty and also had mastsava soup was good.

The service and ambiance is very nice to visit again on my next trip.”

“This is a great bottle shop with a huge assortment of craft cans and rare brews, plus there's always solid beer on tap. You can make your own 4pk or grab something from the cooler to-go. Check out the 4 pinball tables on the left side ($1 per play)! There's outdoor seating when the weather is nice which makes for solid people watching. Orange & Brew is a pretty cool place and definitely worth checking out.”

“Good food with good company”

“Great food and service. Large menu to choose from. Will be back.”

“Delicious lagers and best staff”

“Stayed at the doubletree hotel and was very pleasantly surprised how great the food was at Osteria Italian restaurant. We dined here two nights in a row because it was so delicious. Julio our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Made our first evening at the restaurant memorable. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and Caesar salad. It was wonderful. I had plenty of leftovers and can’t wait to enjoy the other half when I get home. My husband ordered rigatoni with chicken and the soup of the day. He had plenty left over for another meal also. Had two Tiramisu martinis and unfortunately ran out of room for dessert. The second night we sat in the bar for happy hour. Joey, the manager remembered us and made us feel like we were friends dining at his home. Handsome gentleman and incredibly friendly. Tony the bartender managed a full bar of people yet was very available to take our order. Happy hour is a great deal with $7 martinis and affordable large appetizers. Luckily we saved room to share a piece of Tiramisu. Absolutely divine. Can’t wait for our next visit to Chicago to dine here again. Highly recommended.”

“very good food and very good atmosphere”

“food is great, drinks are awesome, staff = the best! Super friendly and welcoming!”

“Deleted a 1 star review to replace it with a 5 star. I booked a rental at 11:30am to take some swings at a place with some feed back and that wasn’t outside with this recent heat wave and rain. Got to the location and it was still closed. Frustrated, I left the 1 star review. A few hours later I was contacted by Andres the manager at xgolf downers grove and he explained the mix up and apologized. Nowadays that goes a long way. Mistakes happen and it’s really refreshing when a company takes this approach. Thank you Andres for reaching out, it shows your commitment to the brand and to making sure that everyone that comes through the door has a top shelf experience.”

“The staff is super friendly. It’s always a pleasure eating here!”

“Yum. Always consistent. Always our favorite.”

“Good food. Excellent Service. Enjoyed Prabhu's personal attention. Visit again soon, Recommend to my friends.”

“Barrelman's Room is my go-to place on a Friday or Saturday night when I want delicious cocktails and cozy ambiance so I can actually talk to my friends & hear each other. It's usually pretty easy to get a table, the staff is helpful with recommendations and I love the "secret" feel of it. I recommend it to anyone who wants a night out without a long line or wait. You won't be disappointed!”

“My husband and I celebrated valentines day early today, I made reservations online which was extremely easy and even had add on options like rose petals on the table! Super cute idea! Ended up having to change reservations due to snow and that was also super easy done online! Our first ever experience at the melting pot and upon arrival the hostess were very welcoming and our sever/waiter was friendly and informative while explaining how everything works. We chose the big dinner for 2 which was a 4 course meal. The spinach artichoke cheese fondue was prepared right infront of us and was absolutely delicious!! The meats and broth were also surprisingly delicious (i was skeptical just boiling my meats, but the flavors soaked into the meats and veggies perfectly seasoning them!) Then onto the chocolate, we chose the turtle chocolate, Carmel and candied pecans. We were almost maxed out but made out way through! 10/10 overall we will be returning customers for sure. Walking out about to leave the owner Mike asked introduced himself and thanked us for dining and made sure our experience was what we expected! Oh, and lastly whoever decided to put candied pine nuts on a Cesar salad is a genius!!!”

“We totally enjoyed our meal today at Red Lobster DG, IL Wonderful manager, wait staff and hostess. Food was great. Thank you. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year”

“I LOVE Aurelio's pizza! Crust is great and there's the right balance of toppings. Overall just great pizza!”

“Excellent food!! Great really clean for as busy as they are.. I will definitely be coming back frequently 🫡”

“OUTSTANDING gluten free pizza. Truly the best gluten free pizza in all the land. We ordered the gluten free spinach, artichoke & ricotta white pizza for dinner last night and it was amazingly delicious. Ingredients and crust were so fresh and so flavorful. Top notch service as well. This is my new favorite spot for gluten free pizza; and a wonderful, local business to support. It will take hell freezing over for me to eat pizza anywhere else, ever again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Good service and food at a reasonable price”

“The fro-yo and drinks are good. I think they lack variety on the boba milk tea though. The customer service is good, never had any issues with the employees. Its not terribly expensive but costs can add up quick. Overall a great ambiance, perfect for hanging out.”

“This is our favorite breakfast place. The food is excellent, served hot. Service is great with coffee cup never being empty. Can’t say enough good things about this place.”

“Food and service are both excellent. Greeted with a smile, food is made to order, so no microwaved dish......I had chicken/shrimp fajitas the first visit and they were DELICIOUS!! Went back second time with a relative, got the shrimp diablo......should have taken the server's advice about the heat, but I didn't, therefore I suffered 🥲 the consequence......she was awesome though and had the heat taken down for me. Owner came out to greet guests and was super sweet. This place is a hidden jewel that has some of the best Mexican food in the area. I would say take my word for it, but being that you probably don't know me, don't take my word for it, go try it for yourself!!”

“amazing food. Real Italian ice in summer!”

“Tacos were delicious, the elote not so much. It was very lemony?. I'm used to my elote being spicy, the lemon over powered the entire elote. Last time I checked, elote consists of mayo, butter, queso cotija & chile. Great customer service, delicious tacos, I'll pass on elotes.”

“Five Guys lived up to their reputation. Tuesday, 5/15/18, was my first time at the Downers Grove location. That Bacon Cheese Burger was great. Just as expected from the many Chicago locations in the past. The two young men on duty offered service with smiles.”

I ordered the combo meal with a drink and received an a lot of extra fries, which were crispy and delicious. I also appreciate the option to choose milk instead of soda or lemonade. This place is a 10/10, and I will definitely come back.”

“Stefanie is awesome! The whole staff is positive.”

“Service was fantastic. The owner Angelo personally came out and was chatting with our family. Any owner of a business that takes the time to do that, puts their heart & soul into it. We dined on the patio and the weather was perfect and the atmosphere was awesome. HANDS DOWN THE BEST PIZZA!!! Now, the bad… can’t get your pizza in Arkansas!! We need to work out a way for you to ship me frozen pizzas 😆 Keep doing what you’re doing. You made us feel like family!! The world needs more people and places like yours!! Truly a 10/10 & we came close to closing time and didn’t feel rushed at all. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I always love going to Mods..their pizza tastes great, their ingredients are fresh and their sauces are very tasty, the pizza is prepared in an open oven and you can watch it until it's done which usually takes 10 to 14 mins only..make sure to try the creme soda drink they have..staff are amazing and very friendly”

“EVERYTHING was great ?. Only one question? Why don't they have CORN grits, only RICE ??

Vegetarian options: Dusty was VERY happy with her VEGAN choice.”

“We only went for the corn fritters, but they were as good as we remembered. We ate quite a few right in the waiting area (the restaurant is take-out only) while they were freshly made. So delicious!

Vegetarian options: Other than the corn fritters, bean salad, cole slaw and fries, there really are no vegetarian options. This is not a restaurant for vegetarians.”

“Great employees! As I was leaving the Starbucks at target I dropped my original drink and having two small children with me I didn’t want to drag them back into the store to get a replacement. I called this Starbucks on the off chance that they’d replace it (since it has a drive through I wouldn’t have to get everyone out of the car) and they said it wasn’t a problem! They replaced my drink free of charge and were very caring throughout the transaction. Thank you Sam! And all the other Starbucks employees!”

“The ice cream is absolutely THE BEST! I had a two-scoop waffle cone that would have been perfect, but the cone dribbled a tiny bit. I'll definitely go back again for some more cookie dough. Yum!”

“The food was so delicious and fresh tasting. Good job everyone that works there. Me and my parents will be definitely be coming back. This is the best Chinese food In Illinois. I highly recommend coming here.”
