“Hi. I would like to say thank you to Jacki at the Crystal lake location. She was so kind and showed empathy when I was there on Thursday 8/1/2024. It’s been a difficult week and my mom had passed away that morning. That was my first meal in about a week. She was so kind to pay for our meals. Thank you so much. I would like for that owner to know this and we will be returning back soon! 10/23/2024- we had Maya as our server today. She is also another wonderful asset to your team! Thank you for the Bingo night!“

“I mean, you’re getting drunk, so…..“

“Very good meal and extremely attentive service. We had the 2 for $32 Bourbon street chicken and shrimp. It had a good flavor and the chicken was very tender. The carafe of Tito's strawberry lemonade was tasty and was a good value. I enjoyed the tomato basil soup as well.“

“I have no complaints regarding the food. We order from this location almost every week and have never had an issue. Today, when I walked in, the restaurant was extremely busy due to the Wild Card game, and the atmosphere was understandably tense. The kitchen staff appeared focused and working hard to get orders out.

During this time, a woman who came from the back to assist with phone orders and customer service did not appear to be wearing a name badge, and it was unclear whether she was an owner or an employee. Regardless of her role, the way she conducted herself was very unprofessional and made the situation uncomfortable for customers.

There was an apparent mistake involving an order that had been handed out incorrectly. One of the assistant managers, who was clearly working hard in the kitchen, was confronted and loudly blamed for the error. He calmly stated that both parties should have verified the order, yet she continued yelling and placed all the blame on him. This exchange took place in front of staff and customers, which was inappropriate and unacceptable.

If a mistake occurs, it should be addressed privately and respectfully. Yelling at an employee in front of others serves no purpose and shows a lack of professionalism and basic human decency.

To Tomas, the assistant manager: we are all human, and mistakes can happen, especially in high-pressure situations. No one deserves to be treated the way you were. You were clearly working hard, and I commend you for standing your ground. I hope this behavior is reported and addressed appropriately.

This incident made me very uncomfortable, and I truly hope steps are taken to ensure staff are treated with respect moving forward.“

“I’ve been going to this bar for years. I love it. I was sad when I moved away from this bar, but I keep coming back. The drinks, the bartenders cooks and all the people are fantastic. There is a great place to hang out or plan a party.“

“I had a very yummy patty melt along with some hand cut fries. My only complaint was that the fries were not hot, they were warm, but just barely.“

“Had a great dining experience! Our server, Kelsey, was great. Our first time going to a restaurant with our little one. He has egg and peanut allergies and Kelsey went above and beyond to ensure the food we ordered didn’t have these allergens. The staff was very accommodating and the food was delicious. I ordered the corned beef. Fries were good and they have a nice selection of beer. Thank you Kelsey for making our first time eating out a great experience!“

“Celebrated with family and couldn't believe the SPECTACULAR birthday treat! While most restaurants are cutting back, this Rosati's in Hoffman Estates TREATED us with a huge dessert! Enough for all to enjoy! And their daily specials are the best. Our server Kaitlyn was so thoughtful and made us feel so welcome. Don't miss out on this hidden gem of a restaurant!“

“I guess the name says it. The esthetic is made to look older. We had a huge party of 20 and they did the best they could with us. Obviously, it was a wait for things but that was to be expected. Nate and Kelsey took good care of us. It was typical pub food, nothing unique, but filled us up.“

“My brother and I ordered cheese curds, nachos, and some ice cream. I’m not a huge fan of bars or pubs, especially on a game night, but the atmosphere and food at Rookie’s is definitely on a whole new level! We were here to watch the Bears vs 49ers match, and found the staff to be very welcoming and patient, in spite of the place filled to the brim. This was only my second time and the last time I was here was back in August. Yet, Megan still remembered us. All I can say is that she’s kind, hilarious, and warmhearted, making our experience at Rookie’s even more memorable! More restaurants truly do need hospitality like hers.“

“At Bandito Barney’s we spent our night,
The vibes were buzzing, the mood just right.
The staff was friendly, quick with a smile,
They made our visit feel so worthwhile.

The place itself? A total delight —
Cool décor, great music, and laughs all night.
But when it came to the food on our tray,
We both agreed it was just “okay.”

One funny twist we didn’t foresee:
No Budweiser or Michelob Ultra for me!
But my wife and I still had our share of fun,
And when all’s said and done — we’ll be back for round one.“

“great specials. attentive staff. fun atmosphere.“

“Nice time. Played pool and darts. Great night“

“The food is amazing! Reminds me of my Grandma's home cooking! The portions are worth the $!“

“Great chicken fingers!!! But if someone in charge could please fix the menu on DoorDash for the mozzarella sticks? It says it comes with marinara sauce, but then makes you select from a list of sauces and marinara is not a choice. So one time I just picked a different sauce and got that sauce and not the marinara and the other time I picked no sauce and didn’t get anything. So if marinara sauce could be added to the sauce selection so there’s no confusion that would be wonderful.“

“Rosati’s Pizza never disappoints. The slices are always fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The crust has the perfect crisp, and the sauce has just the right amount of tang. The people here are genuinely friendly and make you feel welcome every time you walk in. Service is quick. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m craving a good slice. Highly recommend!“

“Ayer salí a festejar mi cumpleaños y también celebre el día de San Valentín con mi novia. Fue una gran experiencia pues la comida estuvo muy rica y los tragos increíbles. La mesera era muy amable y estuvo muy pendiente de nosotros a pesar de que estaban cortos de personal y muy ocupados. Me festejaron con un shot. Por cierto el grupo que estaba tocando, canto muy bien.“
