“Came here because egg harbor had a long wait. Omg. Everything was sooo delicious starting with the crab beignets and it only got better from there. The salmon avocado toast my wife got was really good and i got the spicy shrimp omelette which was really good. The shrimp on top was nicely spiced and really tasty. Definitely a come back to place!!!Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options”

“Absolutely fantastic first time experience at D’Capos! I ordered the meatball sub and the owner gave me a free sample, of course it was excellent. The owner also took time to chat with me about the business and even gave me a free to go meal, eggplant parm. Couldn’t recommend this establishment more, incredible food and the owner is so kind and welcoming. 10/10!”

“What a great experience. One of our daughters is gluten intolerant, and it was a delight to see a pizza place that took gluten intolerance seriously. We had a group of eight with seven different pizzas and everything came out in a timely fashion and was delicious. The highlight of the evening was the friendly & attentive service from Danielle. Highly recommended! #GlutenFree #GreatService”

“It's just a pizza to go spot but Damn is it good pizza! Whatever you get ask for extra sauce cooked well done you won't be disappointed! Of course my go to is Sausage Mushroom Onion!”

“Eagle is a quintessential neighborhood restaurant tucked into the east side of Downers Grove - it's got a menu full of well made comfort food, the service is speedy, and the staff is friendly.”

“Service was great! our waiter was very professional and attentive. The food was delicious too, especially the mushrooms, which tasted better than anywhere else I have tried. Our group had a very good time chatting and enjoying the cozy atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a satisfying meal and a friendly service.”

“Basic dog and beef joint. They also have chicken sandwiches, polish, gyros. Great fries. Food is decent and quick. Don't get excited about the decor but I'll bet most is carryout anyway.”

“Such amazing workers, sat me down napkin on lap on point with everything.. very friendly and anything we needed they where amazing and got it..: best service…ever.…. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Currently sitting in a food coma after inhaling my butter chicken, garlic naan, paneer pakora, and aloo tikka. Such amazing flavor in every single dish, but the surprise standout for me was the unique take on aloo tikka. It was just a flavor bomb with the perfect level of spice. I can’t wait for my leftovers tomorrow, and to keep ordering from my go-to Indian restaurant!”

“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!”

“First impressions walking in it’s old, they need to update a lot of stuff. Don’t let that scare you off because I smell nothing but cleanliness in the restaurant so I definitely wasn’t scared to eat there. The service quick and easy. I had the jumbo shrimp fried rice which was delicious, no excessive oils, no weird taste. I also tried the pot stickers and those in themselves were all worth it. The biggest pot stickers I’ve have and the sauce was so good. I don’t know if it’s made in house but some of the best sour sauce I’ve had.”

“This place is awesome! The food and the people! Hi Juan!! You still remember my voice! Thanks for the best chicken shawarma with extra garlic sauce! I could not get all the items I wanted. Only because I can’t eat like that anymore.”

“League nights are the best at x golf!! Great liquor selection, accurate technology, and amazing customer service. Alex and Mandy are wonderful and will be coming back because of them!”

“The food was really great, huge portions for a good price. We did have to wait a while even though we had a reservation. It felt a little chaotic, but we did have 12 in our party, so probably that was the reason. They are super busy, give them a lot of credit handling so many in a small space. I do plan to go back, maybe takeout, though.”

“I cannot say enough good things about the meal we had. We ordered a ton to share and every dish was better than the last. Chicken Biryani, Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer, Gulab Jamun, the garlic naan, the mutton soup, the mint chutney, perfectly sweet mango lassi, and at least a half dozen other dishes that I forgot the name of. Everything was so good!One thing: make sure to ask for extra spoons early and often!”

“Food is great. I got the shrimp and egg roll bun and husband got lemongrass rice and chicken. We each got Thai milk, too. Second time getting takeout and we're happy.”

“The crew at the downers grove Cooper’s Hawk is top Notch! Miss Alison the manager on duty and Miss Michelle our server and her server assistant were excellent totally recommend! The food was also perfect, just the right temperature and cooled Perfect! Can’t wait till next time we visit.”

“First time carry out based on reviews snd did not disappoint!Spicy udon pad Thai with crispy chicken and pot stickers. Fantastic!!!I will be back and share with others!”

“My family and I always love the food here. Great taste and quality, the staff are welcoming and quick. We can even specify gf friendly requests and the restaurant honors them. We are so thankful to the staff for being a great part of our communityDietary restrictions: The staff is knowledgeable about dietary restrictions such as dairy or gf. Haven’t had an issue”

“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”

“We love Emmett's! Great beer selection and the food is always so good. We like the vibe of the bar. We enjoy stopping in for a drink and an appetizer (I recommend the lettuce wraps). Definitely worth stopping in when visiting downtown downers grove!”

“We haven’t been here with family in awhile, but we will definitely be coming back. The prices were very fair, quantities good, and the flavors very authentic and so good. I’d recommend the stir fried beef with fresh chili (山椒小炒牛）, dry chili fish filet (香辣鱼片）, and the salt and pepper Japanese tofu (椒盐豆腐）。”

“The employees are awesome and friendlyJess,jaun gail,&EddieGo above and beyond to make sure you are pleased with your orderI would give those four 30 stars if I could”

“I have always loved White Castle sliders and take rare opportunities to buy a bag of them. Staff members should greet customers with a smile not a frown. Ambiance was depressing, but I have higher expectations for my lifelong favorite place.”

“This resturant is an absolute gem! The cocktail list is impressive and delicious. There are multiple, delicious craft Mexican-inspired cocktails. If you like spicy, be sure to select something with the homemade jalapeño simple syrup! The food was excellent. It is no exaggeration when I state that I had the BEST ground beef taco I have ever had. The al pastor taco and guacamole were delicious as well. Locals, we need to keep this place open. This family-owned and run resturant is a wonderful addition to our community!”

“I would consider this a hole in the wall Gem! I found this place on Yelp and was very glad we stopped. My husband and I ordered chili cheese dogs with fries and I asked for cheese for my fries and then we ordered a Dika Sausage to share. My mouth is watering thinking about it. The owners were there working and were very nice people. I especially like they have lent specials and vegetarian options. I love meat, but I enjoy trying different things during lent. They have a large variety of options. I hope we can return and try some of their other menu items.”

“I had heard so much praise for Beggars Pizza, and finally, the stars aligned, allowing me to experience it firsthand tonight. Let me tell you, it exceeded all expectations! The pizza was nothing short of amazing. Every bite was a delight to the taste buds, leaving me craving more even after the last slice.In particular, I highly recommend indulging in their stuffed crust pizza with ricotta cheese. It's a culinary masterpiece that takes pizza to a whole new level of deliciousness. The combination of gooey cheese oozing from the corn-bread crust and the rich flavor of ricotta is simply irresistible.From the first warm greeting to the last satisfying bite, the entire experience at Beggars Pizza was top-notch. The atmosphere was cozy, the service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely divine. I can't wait to return and explore more of their mouthwatering menu offerings.If you're in search of a truly memorable pizza experience, look no further than Beggars Pizza. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!”

“We ordered catering for my husband's birthday and they did not disappoint. Everyone loved the food and we have amazing leftovers. We have loved them for some time but their willingness to accommodate our small, birthday gathering just makes me love them more. Kudos Los Dos!”

“They always take the time to make everything so good! Favorite spot for ice-cream in Dowers. The waffles are also outstanding. Highly recommend getting the ice cream and waffle combos they are all so good.Vegetarian options: 2 or 3 Vegan OptionsDietary restrictions: Vegan options”

“I would definitely recommend if you are looking to try something new that is healthy and tasty. Their menu items and drink options are unique and I loved the smell of toasted coconut while enjoying my meal. Make sure to get one of the dole soft serves!”

“I have been here a few times to dine in and service has always been great. The past couple of weekends I have opted for takeout, and it has always been ready earlier than expected and super fresh. The portion sizes are pretty big for the price. I would definitely recommend this place, I think it's really delicious and worth the wait, when there is one”

“This place has really really fresh food! I can't remember off hand what my friend n I ordered, but it was a huge amount of rolls that were absolutely delicious. To be warned though, don't order more than you can fit in your gut. If you have say 2-4 rolls left, try to eat it or share it cuz they will charge you $1/roll that's waisted. Honestly, that's not a bad idea. Ppl waist so much food nowadays. Also expect to pay $20-40/person when going. It was worth it in my book. They have this robot that brings out your appetizers, servers bring your actual meal. The robot is funny cuz if it's really crowded n it can't maneuver where it's going, it gets an angry face in frustration. Lol”

“great food I love the atmosphere and culture when you walk in .the server is really nice she shows great customer service skills and she is beautiful too but I will definitely recommend this to anyone”

“I always enjoy everything I get from LCK. I started my weight loss journey back in 2018 when I met Shannon and I never thought I could adapt to this lifestyle. The first time I failed miserably, with her knowledge, support and food I'm now down 100 pounds.”

“If you want good lagers poured the right way, come here. Everything they make is great, and while it's a small menu, typically only 5 beers on tap, it's enough of a variety imo if their focus is on quality, which is seems to be. Whenever I come into Chicago, I make the pilgrimage to the berbs to visit Goldfinger.”

“The restaurant currently going through a remodel, not loud or dirty but minimal ambiance. Family friendly. Family of 7 and never have waited over 20 minutes on weekends and never waited on weekday.”

“Great spot to get Bubble tea, plus super delicious!The service is above and beyond, my friend and I forgot to ask for substitute milk after it was made ?‍♀️and even though we were prepared to repay to have it remade, the person remade it without asking us to pay again. Thank you!”

“Al pastor much better than the steak. Steak was a little too salty and the quality of the beef was a little disappointing. Stick with the pork! Horchata was really good. Not too sweet and cinnamon was just right.”

“Amazing!! The most attentive and wonderful staff and even better food. I could not recommend more. 10/10!!! Got a few pictures but couldn’t help stealing a few bites in there before we took them. So good!”

“My burger was done incorrectly when I went through the drive thru but didn’t realize it till I went home. When I returned the manager gave me a free pint of custard for the mistake. Amazing customer service! Keep up the great work!”

“I called and made an order for an ice cream cake and they were very nice and helpful. I was even happier when I got the cake. I just told them something simple and maybe something with dirt bikes and they did great. Thanks!”

“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!”

“They have good food, but it's quite pricey. It was $18 for two hot dogs, a burger, no fries, and a drink.If it's busy outside at the drive-through, just go on in. It was like a ghost town. Covid changed people. It makes no sense to me how one could want to overpay for American food.I always thought the appeal of a place like Portillos was the vibe that the place created. My hypothesis is that people are hoping to get the vibe of being in Portillos with friends without going inside or having friends. Thoughts?”

“Boy, do I miss having these around! Since I no longer have a Brown's Chicken near me, I couldn't resist stopping into this one in Hinsdale for a quick bite. Chicken was fresh, hot, and crispy. Ordered a side of fried mushrooms and was reminded of how Brown's prepared them best. Their breading truly is superior.”

“If you need 25 McRibs cut in half to provide your employees for a team building exercise, this is the place! Araceli confirmed my order prior to making it and they're marvelous team had everything packaged and ready on time. I can't tell you how exceedingly happy everyone was on McRib day at my place of business.”

“Donnell is the absolute best! There was a small mistake with my order, absolutely no big deal, I'm not really someone who complains for free stuff I just like getting whatever I paid for, and Donnell made sure of that! He gave me a brand new fresh sandwich made properly despite me eating half of the original (I drive for a living, so I don't often have time to go back and get it fixed)Give this man a raise! Amazing customer service.”

“Good convenient location In a cozy corner, the aroma fills the air,Dunkin' Donuts, a place beyond compare.Coffee steaming, donuts sweet and round,In this haven of flavors, joy is always found.From glazed to chocolate, sprinkles, and more,Each bite a delight, leaving you wanting more.Espresso shots and lattes, so warm and bold,At Dunkin' Donuts, stories are often told.Morning rituals and late-night cravings unite,A place where friends gather, day or night.So here's to Dunkin', where memories are spun,In the heart of donuts, we find endless fun.”

“This is the absolute cleanest restaurant I have ever seen. Not just the cleanest Arby’s or fast food- this place is spotless! Food and service were spot on! Give this manager a raise!”

“The guy that takes the order and my money is so kind and outgoing. He always rhymes and makes me laugh. He has a unique name I can never remember. But he is awesome!”

“The employees here are absolutely incredible. They are so kind and respectful. The service was amazing.Kid-friendliness: The employees specifically are so nice and kind to children.”

“The store inside was open and very clean. We dined in and ordered subs, gyro, loaded fries, and a hot dog. All food was delicious and hit the spot. Excellence amount of meat, onions and other toppings. Prompt and pleasant service at the counter. Easy to get in and out of parking.”

“Really good chicken tonight, everyone is always friendly there.just wish I would have gotten my biscuits. Tried calling (several times) but no one answered. Mac and cheese was too soupy. Edit****manager called to let me know that they are going to make sure I get my biscuits and they have also noticed the Mac and cheese issue. Very happy with her timely response �”

“Website indicated it was permanently closed. Good thing I didn't check this before I left. They are open and combined with KFC. We used to have a store in Aurora and I really missed it. Love the fish and fries! Brought back memories. Thank you!”

“Funny writing a dunkin review but typically my coffees are less than great...I happened to go friday about 630 pm and the female barista was very kind, happy, and made me an amazing drink.You are perfect you are loved. ❤️”

“Staff is amazing! if you can, look for jacki. she's kind and gives great service and recommendations, and the food and drinks are so worth the prices.All around Great place especially to hangout with friends.”

“Hidden gem in North Downers Grove. The Tavern style pizza was unbelievable. The meatballs and marinara are made from scratch and are authentic. The desserts were delicious as well. Service was top notch. It's a must try!”

“My family and I love Tortorice’s, we always order the family size pizza with mushrooms, green pepper, onion, sausage, of course spinach Thin crust. We usually order thin crust, but their deep dish is amazing as well! We love it we recommend them to everyone it’s always hot fresh ready within 30 minutes and we’ve tried others in the area but these guys are the best!!”

“We dropped into this place for the first time today and were pleasantly surprised. The service was great, and the food was fantastic. It's a happy place, with good music, lots of butterflies painted on the walls everywhere. We will be back!”

“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.”

“Gave this place a whirl during my lunch before tuning 4 pianos at Crone Middle School. It exceeded my expectations so much that I came back after tuning those pianos which was 4.5 hours later and the cashier even recognized me which was a nice surprise. Customer service was great and the food was even better. I love that they have a few different sauces to experiment with the tasty food. The sassy, shark sauce and shark white and can’t forget there version of the Carolina sauce. All of it was on point. I had the half chicken and a sausage link with a side of green beans, mashed potatoes and sweet mashed later on with the corn muffin. Everything was kosher and definitely will be back next week as there are more pianos to be tuned at different schools. Highly recommend this place!”

“I ordered from Berto’s for a work party yesterday. It was absolutely delicious! Everyone loved the Italian and American mix party sub tray and the pasta salad!”

“Was feeling a little under the weather, so I decided to order an Italian beef sandwich, veal parm sandwich, and some fries to go with. Delivered fast and friendly, by the owner, and the food is ridiculously tasty. Thanks again!”

“I may have a new favorite taco spot. Very tasty. The freshness stands out. So many customization options almost seems intimidating in a good way. Can’t wait to try the barria.”

“This were my first time having Bonita bowl and it was delicious will be going back soon Dietary restrictions: It’s was really good looking forward buying again”

“Brought my 16 year old and 4 of his friends here for dinner tonight. I felt bad about possibly overwhelming the staff with so many orders, but they were super nice and handled all the custom orders like pros. Like, beyond super nice. I was so grateful. Good customer service is (understandably) hard to find these days.”

“Mud and Char is my go-to local coffee shop! Their food is made with fresh ingredients, and their coffee is always delicious with a good rotation of seasonal specialty drinks. Best of all, their staff is incredibly friendly, fast, and puts care into each order they prepare. I can't recommend going to Mud and Char highly enough!”

“Always absolutely delicious and everyone who works there is really nice at this location. I've been coming here for many years and love the food! The chips & salsa are top notch!”

“Met a friend in Downtown Downers Grove and happened upon this family owned Mexican restaurant that was open on a Sunday. I tried a steak taco at the suggestion of the person taking my order. It was very tasty. The carnitas one was good too. The atmosphere in the dining room is pleasant and cozy. The woman working that day brought us some warm chips and salsa to enjoy with our meal. The restaurant business can be tough so it is good to see a family owned place providing good food, service and a change of pace from the typical chain experience. These are the kind of little gem places that I appreciate having in downtown Downers Grove. I suggest that they are worth checking out!”

“I wanted to share how pleasant my experience was when I ordered a vanilla latte and almond croissant. The staff was very friendly and professional and the latte and croissant were delicious. Thank You for making my Friday and I would recommend Peet's Coffee to anyone.”

“We haven’t been here with family in awhile, but we will definitely be coming back. The prices were very fair, quantities good, and the flavors very authentic and so good. I’d recommend the stir fried beef with fresh chili (山椒小炒牛）, dry chili fish filet (香辣鱼片）, and the salt and pepper Japanese tofu (椒盐豆腐）。”

The manager that night was professional and courteous(Rick).He took care of every concern and the waitress he gave us(Joy) was nothing short of AMAZING!!! They were the greatest team and he even brought her a rose and helped us with the birthday “song”!Joy our waitress made the night special and was super fun and accommodating too. She even helped us with our family photo after dinner!!!Thanks melting pot for being amazing and helping my Husband and I make the greatest memories with our girls!!!!Kid-friendliness: My seven year old enjoyed herself!”

“Went in late night. Not much open for food and drinks at that hour. Had the drunken pork chops. 10/10 Elexandria took amazing care of me! Was originally going to get the grilled chicken sandwich (which I had before) but turned me onto the Drunken chops. Absolutely amazing experience and service.give this woman a raise!!”

“Tonight my family and I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Osteria by Capri. We were invited by the new ownership to give them a try after a poor experience by the previous ones.Let me say they did not disappoint! As being first generation Italian/American with my parents being immigrants from Italy, I like to say I know our cuisine extremely well. Allow me to share with you my experience. We were seated and our server Virginia greeted us with a big welcome and smile making us feel at home already! We ordered our appetizer of gnocchi stuffed with Asiago served with a vodka sauce! Totally light and fluffy with the tang of Asiago and sweetness of the sauce. One can definitely eat two servings because they were that good! And yes, hot, crusty Italian bread was brought to the table! Next our main courses… - Homemade rigatoni with plain marinara sauce. You can tell they were homemade by their size. They were perfect texture when bit into. The marinara sauce was perfectly balanced with tomato, garlic and a tiny pinch of red pepper! ( Don’t mind the lack of sauce in my pic below, our daughter doesn’t like a lot of it ) - Linguini with mussels in red sauce. You were able to see and taste that this was just made. The richness of the sugo with mussels was deep! - Linguini with clams in white sauce. Both of these dishes were piled with either clams ( or mussels ).The clam sauce keeps you diving in for more. You sense that clams, garlic, EVOO, clam broth were just simmering perfectly to give you that umami. And the linguini were perfect al dente! - Eggplant Parmesan with penne. The owner had told us that his was amazing. Now when one dares to set the bar high on this dish you best deliver. Let me tell you… IT DELIVERED! The eggplant was not heavy or greasy, rather light and flavorful. Some people pile mozzarella on it, this was not too much or not too little. Nothing overpowered the next! Balance! The penne and marinara were equally good but the eggplant Parmesan was the star! We dared to order dessert! Canoli You ask any Italian our biggest pet peeve of cannolis are when they aren’t filled all the way and they’re hallow in the middle. This was stuffed all the way through with the perfect sweet filling. NOT with (as my father would call it) sweet cement, but with a light, flavorful cream with chocolate chips and the tips covered with pistachio… like real Sicilians like it! Tiramisu This dessert has been so played out in America. Everyone tastes just… meh. But this one… THIS ONE was an experience! Simply because it was light, airy, full of flavor! The mascarpone was sweet and light. When you got to the bottom where the coffee liquor was you can taste this dessert was fresh. The flavors brought me back to being a kid when my mom would make me this for my birthday! All in all our meal was excellent. Virginia came by at just the right time, every time making sure everything was going well or if we needed anything else. She treated us like family! Food isn’t just about nourishing one self. It’s about creating memories so that when you recreate it in the future it brings them back, like they did with the tiramisu. When those memories get triggered you just feel like you’re home. Capri did that tonight! This is the place to be if you’re missing home!”

“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”

“Teddy’s is our favorite local spot with some of the best Chicago staples! Great hot dogs, beef sandwiches, and pepper and egg sandwiches during lent! Great daily soups as well! We love the Italian ice year round too! Iota a great family owned spot and we keep coming back!”

“The restaurant currently going through a remodel, not loud or dirty but minimal ambiance. Family friendly. Family of 7 and never have waited over 20 minutes on weekends and never waited on weekday.”

“We had a 50th anniversary party for our parents scheduled at another restaurant that overbooked us. We frantically searched for somewhere comparable six days before the event. Fortunately, we found Gatto’s. It was not comparable; it was far superior than our original restaurant. I honestly expected it to feel like they were doing us a favor by hosting our party. Instead, we were treated like royalty. The food…THE FOOD. Best calamari, hands down, in my life. Our kids table of picky eaters polished off the entire family size bowl of rigatoni with vodka. It was incredible. The service was second to none. JJ and the rest of the crew took care of EVERYTHING. We WILL be back soon!”

“I've been going to Gong Ho ever since I was a kid and it has never disappointed me! Walking in, it is newly renovated and much more modern but still having a warm welcoming feel. Gong Ho is famous in my family for its quick and delicious food for an affordable price. I get the same thing every time I go: lunch special number 5 (sweet and sour chicken with barbecue strips) with egg drop soup. Food is served very fast and the quality has never gone down. My parents love to get their fish filet with vegetables and the shrimp egg foo yung. We will continue to be regular customers of Gong Ho. It is a family business and you'll often see the families' kids helping out- so you already know that the food is bussin'. Pricewise, it is completely affordable and more than fair. I appreciate that portions have not changed throughout the years. The restaurant is great for big groups as well. As always, I always encourage everyone to support their local businesses! Gong Ho has been a favorite of ours ever since I was a kid and that won't change!”

“I cannot say enough good things about the meal we had. We ordered a ton to share and every dish was better than the last. Chicken Biryani, Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer, Gulab Jamun, the garlic naan, the mutton soup, the mint chutney, perfectly sweet mango lassi, and at least a half dozen other dishes that I forgot the name of. Everything was so good!One thing: make sure to ask for extra spoons early and often!”

“Has not been great lately until tonight! It was a total 180 in all areas. Food tasted more fresh, shells were perfect, customer service was friendly and professional!Parking: Plenty of spaces to park. Should not have a pr.”
