“Great pizza thank you very much will be back.”

“Not one to usually write reviews but Fast Eddy’s is well deserving. My first time I stopped in after a long shift at Good Samaritan hospital for a slice of pizza. I was instantly greeted by Eddy who asked if it was my first time at his restaurant. He asked me if I had some time and he went back into the kitchen to give me a small taste of Italy… fixing me up some amazing meatballs and talking about the process of cooking up their delicious thin crust pizza! Stopped in a few weeks later where I was greeted by other owner Eddy with amazing hospitality. Decided to order a beer and hangout for a while. This place has amazing pizza, authentic and delicious meatballs, and genuine and passionate owners and staff. Highly Recommend!”

“Great food with great service. Don’t miss out on this family owned restaurant in Downers Grove. We love i!”

“Such a treasure! We were drawn to the thoughtfully created menus - rotations of unique menus that tell a story via the tastes of places; as well as the dietary options (vegan, gluten free, etc) that make it accessible and tasty for all. The tea and food were amazing, the shop is so cute, and the staff were so kind. A great experience all around!”

“Great food, great service, nice location!”

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

“I had my wedding shower here in their private section of the restaurant. We had around 45 guests and it was amazing. The staff were amazing, especially Andrea and Tricia, the food was great and the bloody Mary’s were so tasty! Highly recommend having your private event here!”

“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.”

“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!!!”

“Good food ,best staff 😍😍😍”

“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.”

“Ima cut straight to business, I ordered the Orange Chicken Dinner and it was bussinnnn. It came with 1 egg roll, and fried rice on the side. I wouldve gave it 5 stars overall but the taste of the egg roll threw me off. EVERYTHING ELSE THO, fye. The owner snapped on the flavor part of the food. Must stop by...won't regret it😩”

“Good food with good company”

“Great food n excellent service”

“Fresh hot delicious homemade Mexican food.”

“If you’re looking for the best Eastern European–style hot dog in the whole area, this is the place! The flavors are authentic, rich, and perfectly balanced. The sausage tastes high quality, the bread is fresh, and the toppings bring everything together just right.
Anjur Restaurant truly stands out — not just for the hot dogs, but for the entire menu. You can tell they care about quality and tradition. Highly recommend stopping by if you want something different and delicious!”

“Great food n excellent service”

We are going to try the burgers and can’t wait to see what soup they will have. Felt very welcome We saw a diverse group of patrons They have high tops and regular seating in addition to seating at the bar.”

“Taco Maya is so good! If you've never been here, you have to go! There are a lot of tacos of different types here. One that I highly recommend for anyone to try is the Paneer taco! I ordered one to try and immediately regretted not getting more. The quesabirria is excellent! Try the coffee, too! You will be pleasantly surprised. The staff is very kind!”

“I visited Cocomero in Downers Grove with my wife for the first time and we were delighted. The standout Taro milk tea was rich and creamy, blending earthy sweetness perfectly, while the self-serve frozen yogurt bar, packed with fresh toppings, offered creative fun and flavor. Friendly staff and a cozy, welcoming vibe made our visit memorable—and a great shared treat.”

“Delicious lagers and best staff”

“So good love the Cookie Monster it taste so good recommended!!!!!!!!!!!😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃”

“Good service and food at a reasonable price”

“We have been coming to this restaurant for probably almost 10 years now and the place has only gotten better. The food, service and quality is the same and always 10/10! I love what they have done with the place, and made it more upscale but honestly we didn't care much coz we'll keep coming back! Even my 5 year old son loves come here.”

“A very, very exceptional kind of place for DuPage County, Illinois. Q Pub and Grill is like an oasis in a desert. Food is great and delicious, they actually look out for you here, and Erika is the best one here. Any time I travel to the far suburbs of Chicagoland, this is the best place to be. Playing pool is a lot of fun, too.

In a community like DuPage County, Illinois, where even New Yorkers would get turned off by the lack of a social atmosphere and wouldn't ever return as tourists, where it's easier to make new friends at New York City's Central Park Zoo than it is at College of DuPage, Oak Brook Mall, the annual DuPage County Fair, or the Naperville Riverwalk, where all interactions between strangers are strictly business-related and are for business only, where especially single and lone guys get bullied and ruthlessly alienated, outcasted, and tormented at most other public use facilities (school/college campuses, shopping malls, public parks, fairs, festivals, and so forth), and where people in those same places act like they think they're in East St. Louis when in the presence of strangers and as if all non-business interactions with strangers and making friends were illegal and meant a one way trip to Pontiac or even the chair for all involved, Q Pub and Grill is a huge exception. Like a great beacon of light in a dark spooky cave.”

“Just want to say it was my first time eating here last night. I'm from California on business trip and turning again next week and I can say I'm coming back for dinner here. The manager Debbie was very friendly and is very helpful/happy customer service. The owner picked a right person to carry the management position.”

“The bartender was really helpful and friendly. Even with a full bar, he took his time to make some recommendations and gave me his full attention while talking to me. The beer selection is really good. They also have beer available for sale.

Just a note, they don’t currently sell food. Drinks only.”

“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!”

“First visit to Angelo's Pizza, got a Chicago thin with pepperoni, hamburger, pepperoncini, and garlic...best pizza I've ever had, and I've been to numerous Chicagoland and east coast parlors. This will now be a mandatory stop each time I visit Chicago, and the free parking garage with ample space virtually next door makes this an easy choice. Thank you to the hard working pizza crafters and friendly staff. Wow. Amazing!”

“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.

“Excellent food! The sauce was delicious, eggplant parmigiana, chicken parmigiana was tasty and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend!”

“Soooo delicious! I got a mangonanda and it was like eating a ripe frozen mango, with Chamoy and taji. my family got the ice cream and raced all the way home. I will definitely be back.”

“food was delicious. I would go there again. the staff was very friendly and professional”

“Very good hotdogs and fries. The fries are hand cut and fried without a timer. This does cause some fries to be over cooked. Yet, most of the fries are delicious. Not sure when they changed the hot dogs, but they are longer. Still good and have a snap. All the condiments were great.”

“A classic breakfast diner featuring (the best!) complimentary mini doughnuts while you decide what to order, which takes some time- all the food here is delicious! Their coffee is strong and robust. I greatly enjoy this gem!”

“I miss the location that closed because it was nearby my work but I took my family to this location tonight and the service was the best ive had at a that burger joint. Nathan and team made sure the order was completed correctly, put a to go order to the side and kept it hot and worked very fast to complete our order. It was great!”
