“Dairy Queen's ice cream is awesome. Got a cookie dough blizzard with extra cookie dough and a churro dipped ice cream cone and they were great. Great service there too. Also make sure you bring money smaller than a twenty dollar bill. There's a sign on the window that says to use small bills only.“
“It would be a perfect 5 stars but picking up food is CHAOTIC. There's no designated area for it and you have to almost fight the drunkies for access to the bar so you can talk to someone. Then good luck getting the attention of a bar tender. Holler at a bus boy if you can and they definitely help get you your food from the back.“
“Amazing ambience. Unique neo-medieval structures with a flavorful touch of modern sports bar arrangement. Drinks are tasteful as its atmosphere and food is the same you can find in most sports bars. Today the hit the jackpot supporting the "Dublindee Annual 5K".“
“Took The Wife here for a late lunch. It was busy-ish, but we got a table fairly quickly. I got a Cheeseburger that took a very long time to make, and The Wife got a soup and half a sandwich. Nice place for the most part, but the seats and tables were sticky and dirty. Prices were more than average. A bit on the high side. Not sure if we'll come back.“
“Finally was able to eat here. Delicious! We had the catfish dinners and I ordered a pepper and egg sandwich to go. The catfish was perfect. The collard greens were excellent!!! And the mac and cheese was great too! The owner was very friendly. Loved learning about her journey to opening Tangie’s . Will definitely go back for the fish, eggs and to try other items on the menu. Thank you!“
“My husband said I don't feel like making breakfast, I'm going to order something.. Well he made a great choice.. The food was delicious ? I had a spinach & cheese omelette & pancakes he had a skillet. Next time we will have to dine in. Can't wait to try something else. It was our 1st time eating here & it will not be our last!!“
“Co-worker mentioned to try out the Boss's Signature. We decided to try it out and we are so glad we did!! Two of us had the ribeye and two had the corn beef and cabbage. For dessert we tried out the cheesecake and key lime pie. All the food was absolutely delicious! Was very impressed that the owner Gino came to our table to see how everything was!! You don't find that much these days. Wonderful people, atmosphere, good service and great food.....what more can you ask for. Already discussed that this may be our new go to place. Looking forward to trying out their breakfast menu.“
“I haven’t been here in 35 yrs! Stopped for lunch before doctor appointment. Nothings changed! It’s all still delicious and service is great! I sat at the bar where Viktor cooked me a beautiful cheeseburger! I’m so happy I stopped! Lots of fun memories there from back in the day!“
“This place is really awesome they specialize in hamburgers. Next to the railroad tracks lots of TVs good place to watch sports services good their beer wine liquor selection is very good. We'll be going back to this place many times if possible. Parking is a bit of a hassle but the food is worth “
“Great food and staff. Love going here! Kosta is an amazing server! He is on top of everything no matter how busy it is. He makes you feel like you're the only table he has. Friday and Saturdays are busy but if you get there at the perfect time, there's no wait!“
“A great place to go besides all the fresh cut meats and the great staff that works there. They also have cheeses and all kinds of hors d'oeuvres and a deli that has good soups and chili. Make sandwiches for you. Pretty cool. Great neighborhood place.“

“This has become our favorite place to eat out. The food is so flavorful and different from a regular sandwich shop. Also, we are able to bring our dog with us and get him his own doggy meal. They don’t have the dog meals on the menu but they are available. They really should put a sign on the counter or a wall about them. Everything is served in a dog bowl which fits with the theme of the place. They have a wide variety of foods to choose from. I am currently trying to eat my way through the whole menu! The atmosphere is like a park. Some of the tables have swings to sit on. There is a little “grassy” area with giant Jenga and giant Connect Four games to keep the kids entertained. I love the huge wall mural which shows lots of cute dogs picnicking in a park. The staff is very nice and helpful. My whole family, including the dogs, love eating here!Parking: It is located in an open air mall so there is plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Swing seats available at some tables. Giant games for them to play on the grassy area.“
“From service to food, this is the best brunch spot on my radar! Mandy is the best waitress I’ve experienced- both hospitable and super fun! Just loved her! The spot is super cute, not too loud, not too quiet. A true gem in South Elgin! This is my new go-to brunch spot!“
“Eggville is the best place around for breakfast or lunch. There are many creative and well-prepared choices available, all with fresh ingredients and lots of care. The Cobb salad is superb, as are the many pancake, crepe, and egg dishes. The staff is very friendly, the restaurant is also super clean, and the only thing you'll regret is not dining there every day!“
“I have been to this location in Elgin. I have been there five or six times in the last week. It gets very busy on Friday nights, Saturday nights. And Sunday afternoons. That's to be expected at Culver's. When I arrived, I was greeted when i walked through the door. I ordered my food, a double sourdough melt with deep fried cheese curds. it was delicious. A few days passed, and I returned to the culver's in Elgin. I ordered a double butter burger. Chili cheese, fries, and a scoop with hot caramel and banana. These were also very good. I received my food promptly. Every part of my order was hot and fresh. I have no complaints to state about Culver's.“
“The service is always incredible here, but tonight was especially amazing. Our server (Maggie) was more than accommodating to our needs and treated us and our baby with so much patience and kindness. She knew the menu and described options very well! The brisket would be my favorite menu choice so far.“
“I had a pretty good meal here, the food was pretty good not too busy so you shouldn't have to wait very long. Also if it's somebody's birthday you can buy a cup cake and play happy birthday on the speakers.Kid-friendliness: It was really kid friendly, they had a really cute theme there and a little train that came around with your food.“
“This burger place is located in the strip mall off of Lakewood Rd & Ackman. Family run business. I only have been here 2x - I love that we have a burger joint in the area that isn't fast food . The buns are very good, soft and tasty. The burgers are yummy! My favorite is the chicken pita.“
“The order was brought quickly. My husband loves to order fish here. The staff is very friendly. Everyone is good-natured. I like this kind of service. The only negative is the constant smell of fried meat and fish in the room, probably the air hoods need to be “
“Had probably one of my best red robin experiences ever today abby was an excellent server and the burgers made by carlos the cook were immaculate had the lava queso burger and it was so good. Even the drinks were better than i expected. Top tier red robinVegetarian options: My gf is a vegetarian and she above all else loves the burning love burger with a veggie patty again. Top tier“
“If there's one bartender who always knows how to get your drink just right, it's Brittnee. With her warm and welcoming personality, she makes you feel like you're right at home as soon as you step up to the bar. Not only is she a master at crafting the perfect cocktail, but she always brings a smile to your face with her witty banter and infectious laugh. Brittnee is truly one of a kind and has an undeniable gift for making your night out an unforgettable experience.“
“My favorite local place to grab dinner and a drink!! Delicious food and I feel like they have a new cocktail I want to try every time I’m there. Also love Cattleman's when looking for some fun during the week. The karaoke on Tuesdays and singo bingo on Wednesday nights is so much fun with friends!“
“First time here, I liked the name LOLWe had the chicken wings and Goat Curds (cheese curds). Tuesday is karaoke night. We didn't stay for that. No one wants to hear me sing. Hubby and I were given two tokens for a free drink next time we stop by and we will. I want to try a burger......Parking: It is very well lit up in the back of the building. You can enter from the front or back of the building and after a certain hour you can sit in front of the building where the window goes up. Cool....“
“The employees are very kind and polite.They work together as a team, helping each other when needed.The food was delicious, and the portions were very generous.We especially enjoyed the chili, which really hit the spot.We like this place and highly recommend it.“
“As a purveyor of excellent fast-food that isn’t too healthy, I finally had the pleasure to try Beef Villa. And, now that I have, I have become a repeat customer over and over and over again. The people that work here have always been attentive and friendly and the food tastes amazzzzzing! This has become my newest favorite restaurant and if I am going to die, I want to go with a Beef Villa cheddar beef in one hand and a cheese fry in the other. Thank you. ?“
“Walking into Luke's beef for the first time, I did not know what to expect. When that first taste of burger touched my tongue, I saw everything. All the answers of life were clear to me. People say you can't buy happiness, I disagree. For less than 15 bucks you can buy a burger from Luke's beef which is the equivalent to heaven on earth.“
“This Dairy Queen has the best customer service! I forgot to order a cake for a family birthday, and nor only did the manager prepare a cake for me right away, he also delivered it to my house! This man went so far out of his way for me!!! Amazing!!!“
“Great service. The full steak nachos was literally a mountain of chips and super tasty. Just the right amount of toppings and cheese. My son had the burger and fries off of the kids menu. All items were served hot and were really delicious. Recommend this place!“
“wonderful portillo's. this was my first experience at a portillo's franchise and I had a wonderful time. the food was a little more expensive than anticipated but well worth it. there are not a lot of quality beef sandwiches at fast food places but portillo's delivers with both the italian beef sandwich and the beef and cheddar croissant. the strawberry shake was also delightful. I am not the biggest fan of the fries but I subscribe to the belief that nobody does crinkle cut like Dave's Hot Chicken. the ambiance of the restaurant was also lovely.“
“Who doesn’t like a nice fast food meal. Culver’s has great food items to choose from, but their choice of ice cream toppings is absolutely insanely AMAZING. I asked for a random choice of ice cream and topping and they delivered without a fuss. I will say that the restaurant was nicely clean too.“
“Ok, let's face it, all hamburgers are not built the same. When you crave a GOOD burger, Five Guys should always be on the list. All the food is good and the French fries are some of the best.As far as this location, the staff was welcoming, immediately engaged customers, and were efficient in making all orders.Centrally located near most shopping in Crystal Lake.Yum, Yum, go get you some!“
“We went to the drive thru they put on the sticker 49 and on the order was a 46 so they took 40 min to figure it out when we got our food it was already cold...They need to pay more attention to what numbers they put in your car and what numbers they put on the order.“
“I haven't dined here in about 15-20 years, but it was so GREAT to be back! I had the Cajun Sunrise Burger, bacon cheese fries, onion rings, chopped salad and strawberry shake! Everything was so fresh and delicious! Service was quick and efficient too! Loved the clean, woodsy organic interior and the cool 80s and 90s pop tunes playing overhead (brought back fond memories of my high school and college years)! I will definitely come back to the Barrington Meatheads location!!!“
“I personally think DQ is my favorite ice cream place in the entire world. I've traveled a lot in my life and DQ is still the best. And this specific place is very nice. I am very happy that they finally brought back the s'mores blizzard and I definitely recommend it.“
“I saw a BOGO deal online for blizzards if you ordered using the app but couldn't figured out how to get the deal. I went to dairy queen in Algonquin off main Street and the girl working the register helped me figure it out. She was so warm and welcoming and friendly and really made the experience great!“
“Always friendly service and food made as we like to order. This BK has always been great! The last time we were there, I noticed how carefully they put together the sandwiches, and see that other reviewers make mention as well. This is not something you experience everywhere. Keep up the great work!For negative reviewers, small inconveniences are part of life. You can't say that every meal you've made came out perfect, or that you tell yourself to hurry up if you're cooking too slow. If your order is wrong, kindly let them get it right for you!“
“My gyro was hard and did not taste great. My moms Italian beef sandwich was so hot it had her coughing. I did not complain about mine but mama was talking to the manager when she started coughing so it was inevitable. The manager explained it had already been sent up the chain and got mama another sandwich which turned out not as hot.The service was top of the line.The manager also was helping with a catering order and was very helpful.Dietary restrictions: they do not have a list of ingredients and their daily value.Parking: Parking was right beside the building and there was plenty of it. They also have an wheelchair ramp and a few handicap parking spots.Kid-friendliness: They do have a kids menu.Wheelchair accessibility: They do have wheelchair ramp and wide doors. They also have a huge ordering area as well as a wheelchair accessible bathroom.“
“Cheesy beef garlicy bread was really good. Excellent flavor. Good texture in the meat, cheese did not overpower the meat flavor and I can taste the garlic bread. The only minor complaint that I'd say is the juice that I ordered in the two cups, one of them was smashed, crushed and dribbled all over the inside of the plastic bag. The only other thing is the sandwich seemed a little bit on the small side, much smaller than a portillo's.“
“For the people of Carpentersville and the surrounding area it is a good place to spend a pleasant and fun time, it has pizza, pasta, wings and more, very good seasoning and flavor of the food, on Thursdays it has a special and drinks before 10:00pm and they have karaoke night and on Saturdays they have a DJ, you can eat, drink and dance in one place, they also rent the place to celebrate a party although I recommend that if it is family it is during the day, the attention of the waitresses is excellent and I know Good place because you've been there often.?????“
“I screwed my own order and didn’t bother to fix it. When the gentleman brought the food to my table I asked him why I was short some items. He simply showed me my ticket and explained it was not on the order. The young man was polite and walked away. 4 minutes later he came back with a side of fries for my kids. This is great customer service! I didn’t ask him for anything! I even offered to pay for and he simply said it was on the house. My 2 kids were happy to eat the fries!“
“Well, since the pandemic, I haven't actually visited any Steak and shake restaurants. I remember long lines and waits yo be seated. I was quite surprised that, for the most part, customers place their orders themselves at any available in store kiosk l. I belive you cam place the order in advance from their app. Then you pay at the kiosk or app and seat yourself with the receipt. In a little while they bring your order to you. The food was good but not how I remember it. The French fries were great, the butterfinger Shake was outstanding! The server was polite and courteous. I visited the restaurant near 1130am on a Thursday, and guess what no linens waiting.Parking: strip mall level parkingKid-friendliness: high chair availableWheelchair accessibility: street level accessible“
“First 2 times were fantastic. Great food, great service. Third time only received half of my order and the other half was someone else's. It was busy so I can understand they just need to check a little more closely as I saw the lady at the window look in my bag and take something out. Overall, I would recommend this location as the food I ordered was still delicious.“
“I cannot say enough good things about River Lee's!! Drinks are cheap, patrons are fun and its amiss to have a bad time here! Everything about Lee's is fun, wholesome and loving, everyone feels like family and that's what I want as I chug my whiskey.“
