“Went to Panera in FRG with my 2 kiddos today, and despite my goofy 4 year old acting up, it was one of the best Panera experiences I’ve ever had. The manager on duty (which I regretfully didn’t catch his name) greeted us right when we walked in and asked my son what he felt like eating. He then made sure the cashier gave us complimentary treats. When our food was ready, he walked the food over to our table so I didn’t have to bring both kids up to the counter. One of the other employees cleared our table for us as well. It was full-service amazingness! Thank you!”

“This mcdonalds was awesome, staff are friendly, greeting you and leaving you with a nice smile.

It reminded me of how mcdonalds used to be back in the early 2000s. I will be coming back to this location specifically.”

“A Truly Unforgettable Birthday Celebration at Medieval Times Schaumburg!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars)

I recently hosted a birthday celebration at Medieval Times Schaumburg, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment we walked in, we were transported to another world—a medieval kingdom filled with knights, royalty, and excitement. This was the perfect venue for a group birthday celebration, and here’s why:

Immersive Experience

The atmosphere at Medieval Times is truly immersive. The castle entrance, the banners, the sounds of trumpets—it all makes you feel like you’re stepping into a living, breathing medieval story. We were greeted by the knights and staff as we entered, setting the stage for an epic evening. Even the décor and costumes added to the authenticity, making it easy to forget you were in suburban Schaumburg and not in a faraway kingdom.

Amazing Group Dining

The four-course feast was one of the highlights of the night! It’s served without silverware (a fun, authentic touch) and features hearty, delicious dishes like roast chicken, BBQ ribs, potato wedges, and corn on the cob. The food was fantastic and more than enough to satisfy even the biggest appetites. Everyone at our table had a great time sharing the experience, laughing, and enjoying the meal together.

It was especially fun to dig into our meal while watching the action unfold right in front of us. Everyone was so engaged, cheering on our knight (we were on the Red team!) and getting caught up in the excitement of the jousting and sword fighting. The food was served promptly, and there was plenty of time to savor it while soaking in the show.

Thrilling Show and Spectacular Entertainment

The show itself is a thrilling combination of jousting, sword fights, and medieval drama. Our group was on the edge of our seats the entire time—cheering, gasping, and even groaning at the tense moments. It’s a high-energy, action-packed performance that’s perfect for a group to enjoy together, especially if you’re looking to get involved. The knights really put on a show, and you could feel the competition in the air.

What made it even better was that the birthday guest of honor was recognized during the show, and they even received a birthday shout-out from the queen and the knights! It was such a fun touch that made the birthday celebration feel extra special. They also received a crown, which was a great keepsake and photo op.

Exceptional Service

The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience. They were friendly, attentive, and really made us feel like we were part of the medieval court. They even brought out a special birthday dessert (apple pie) to the guest of honor, complete with a small celebration. Everyone sang “Happy Birthday,” which made the moment feel even more magical. The entire staff was incredibly professional and made the night run smoothly, which was especially important for a large group.

Perfect for All Ages

One of the best things about Medieval Times is how it caters to all ages. We had kids, teens, and adults in our group, and everyone had a fantastic time. The show is exciting and easy to follow, with enough action and drama to keep even the most easily distracted entertained. Whether you’re young or old, the experience is one that brings people together.

Memories to Last a Lifetime

After the show, we had the opportunity to take photos with the knights and the princess, which was a great!

Overall Verdict

If you’re looking for a birthday experience that’s full of excitement, fun, and unforgettable memories, Medieval Times Schaumburg is the place to go! The combination of immersive entertainment, delicious food, and exceptional service made this one of the best birthday celebrations I”

“Wonderful service and food! Eric, the manager, is excellent checking in with diners and ensuring they have everything they need.”

“took my kids there with my wife for anniversary. Great experience. They went way out of their way and definitely worth the drive from Chicago to carpenersville. The mimosa and French toast flights were amazing with a fuller than usual menu! Highly recommended!”

“I've been to this place a few times and let me tell you, the food here is absolutely mind-blowing! Every single dish we sampled was bursting with flavor and cooked to absolute perfection. I can't recommend the burgers, chicken wings, and the Friday fish fry highly enough. And the service here? Top-notch! Both Kara and Roger were attentive without being intrusive, and the entire staff worked together seamlessly to create a flawless dining experience. We never had to ask for anything twice! Overall, our experience dining at this restaurant was an absolute delight from start to finish. Between the incredibly delicious food, impeccable service, and charming ambiance, it made for an incredibly memorable experience! Trust me, you've got to check this place out!”

“Pizza Pushers catered our sons Studentin party on Friday (10/6). Fantastic set up, organisation and service but best of all absolutely amazing Pizza. Can’t recommend enough. Use them, you will not regret it.”

“So soooooo good! Talk about pizza... the ingredients are fresh and plentiful, cheese just the right texture and amount, crust crispy and satisfying so much so that you can eat 2 (maybe 3 pieces ) and not feel STUFFED! Service was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere is nostalgically comfortable. Our 11 month grandbaebae was happily acknowledged by all waitstaff though they were busily weaving thru the tables with their pizza pies and libations. They offered to take a picture of our group of 6 afterwards, as we were celebrating our son's birthday. On our return home, realizing an item wrapped in a napkin, was left behind and most likely tossed, I called and the owner (Jerry O.) offered to look thru the waste and by the time I returned to the restaurant, seeing him with a smile on his face, I knew he had found it !! That's going the extra mile... hurray to Uncle Jerry and his crew !!”

“After our first visit here with friends, we couldn’t stop talking about when we’d be back!

When we’re with a group, we like to sit at a table, but when it’s just me and my husband, the bar is our go-to spot. The servers and bartenders are always fantastic.

The oysters are fresh and delicious, and the foie gras is served just the way I love—with toast and jam.

The caesar salad is quite good, with a nice touch of pickled sardines.

So far, our favorite entrées are the burger, steak frites, and walleye.

We’re already looking forward to our next visit!”

“Just had the best experience eating at popeyes today with my son. staff was great, food was so fresh and delicious. I don't usually choose popeyes when i come out to eat, but I definitely will be coming back way more often! If you haven't tried their nuggets, do it now!”

“Once you eat here, you will not want to eat anywhere else.”

“I found the most amazing coffee and pastry shop today on my way to work. The coffee was amazing and the pastry I had was the best thing I have ever eaten!! If you haven’t stopped in, what are you waiting for?!”

“the food was great, our server went above and beyond. she gave my 8 month old a bear some fruit. they were very friendly and the food was good. next time we are in the area I'd come back.”

“Loved our food tonight, trying the place out for the first time. Good fish, good choices. Let me try the sauces to decide which. Love that they have more things than just poke bowls. Will eat here again.”

“This place is awesome!! Everything we got from appetizers, sushi to noodle dishes was SO good! Definitely give this place a try. Hope they do well in this location. We loved it!”

“One of my favorite coffee shops in town. Their coffee is rich and delicious. Their pastries are yummy. My dog loves the pup cup. My only criticism is that I wish the dining room was larger. Does have a drive through, but the entrance is in really weird spot behind the store.”
