“We visited this amazing establishment last night and ordered the filet and the Manhattan strip for our entrées with a side of the mushrooms, and it was possibly one of the best steaks we had had. Our server and Jesse was wonderful, and when he wasn’t available home, there was another manager who came and brought items out, so there was no delay in service while he was attending another customer and socialized at the table. We dined outside on the patio underneath the heat lamp and lights. The Barn was the perfect atmosphere for our relaxing evening together. We were very pleased with all that we ordered as well as the service. We would highly recommend the Barn restaurant to others.”

“oh my gosh, Hewn is so cool – – such inventive and hearty and wholesome and beautiful flavor combinations – – I especially love what they do with fruit and nuts. I’m not surprised at all that their holiday special offerings sell out so quickly – – This is a special kind of bakery – – not too refined as to only have the sweetest and most delicate of desserts – – but more of a chefs kind of place – – you know the ingredients are going to be the finest out there. My only quibble is the inflexibility with the vegetarian sandwiches in their refrigerator – – the staff would not make me a fresh sandwich. But this is a minor quibble. I really do recommend them without reservation.”

Soban Korea 819 Noyes St, Evanston Korean • $$

“Tasty, fresh, authentic alternative to the offerings along the Noyes Street mini restaurant row. The Bibimbop wasn't the big bowl I was expecting but it was prettily assembled and well prepared. The bite-sized mandu with a sweet soy dipping sauce were very tasty indeed. Would return to try other Korean offerings.”

“If you dont like it too spicy thisnjs for you! /his is by far the best Jamaican spot yet ! The sauce is delicious, the meats were tender and soft. Cabbage was my favorite. Would 100% go back everytime I'm in town. Only opinion: if you are not serving an item at that time it should not be on the menu”

LeTour Kitchen & Bar 625 Davis St, Evanston French • $$$

“Amy Morton doesn't know me at all. We live 235 miles away and we are not able to dine at her restaurant anytime soon. Nevertheless, we sent a blind inquiry looking for information on a performer who appeared at Found Kitchen 3 years ago. Our inquiry is never going to make any money for Amy, we know that and she knows that. Altho she could have blown off our request, she had her staff reach out to us the next day with all of the contact info we possibly could need....because she's an awesome business person and a great restaurenteur! Every restaurant comes up short on the quality of an entree from time to time, water glasses might not get refilled as rapidly as a Yelp reviewer might want......it happens. We wanted to share with your FB viewers our experience with Amy's staff and let you all know how much we appreciate her and her dedication to customer service.”

IHOP 100 Asbury Ave, Evanston Breakfast • $

“This restaurant is really outstanding and really great for the image of Evanston's southern end. The food is fantastic and I very much enjoy everything from the Bacon Temptation Omelette to the Spicy Poblano Omelette to the Crispy Chicken Sandwich to the Cowboy Burger. All of the food is fabulous and very well prepared, the variety is wonderful, and the coffee is always fresh. And above all, Ivan and the waitstaff provide customer service that's 'above and beyond' in every way. They're very kind, compassionate, efficient, and accomodating to everybody who comes into the establishment. Keep up the great work!”

McDonald's 1919 Dempster St, Evanston Fast Food • $

“Ok, if you go around this area and look for McDonald's, you're not going to find one very few are north. If any, I don't think there is any. Norf and east of here, until you get to 5 miles northwest on Green Bay road, and I think this place closes at 8 PM or something. I've never ever seen it open at night. So because of that, it makes this location. The absolute busiest McDonald's at night, time and after 10 PM on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays just don't go there until it's not Friday night. It's not Saturday night. And it's not Sunday night. I'm not joking about this. If you're going there, you might as well get some food from like Duncan donuts across the street, like a coffee. While you wait for your food, otherwise you're gonna get so pissed off. And food hangry that the whole experience is going to be like I'll never go there again. But then you can't say that. Because it's McDonald's right and you're gonna go there because why there is no other McDonald's closest closer to you. If you live north straight up north all the way to pass bolmette, and all the way to the east of this location, if you want to go to any other mcdonald's, you're going to be going south”

Devil Dawgs Evanston 921 Church St, Evanston Fast Food • $

“Ordered their happy hour combo of 2 Chicago hot dogs and small fries for 7$ which is a great value for money deal. The Chicago dogs were wonderfully overloaded with condiments just as you'd expect. The pickle and relish were especially good. The sausage itself was a bit underwhelming but the amazing condiments made sure the hotdog served as a filling and tasty meal.

Maybe it was because the order had been waiting for a while but the fries were soggy and a bit too salty for my liking. I honestly would just skip the fries next time.”
