“Great place for sand volleyball tournaments! We enjoyed watching all the games take place and wish we had enough people interested in making a team. The food was good and the atmosphere was fun!

Parking: During busy volleyball nights, it was crowded and little parking available.”

“My first visit to Inovasi and it did not disappoint! Our server Lucia was fantastic- knowledgeable friendly and she helped me find just the right cocktail! We started with their delicious bread, and then had the crispy pork belly for appetizer. For entree we had a filet with shaved truffles and a blackened cod with lime and whipped edamame. Both were superb as was the dessert of flourless chocolate cake with raspberry purée and shipped goats cheese, and a pumpkin cheesecake. All was delicious, and the ambiance and decor was warm and inviting. We will be back!”

“If you come to Chicago, you need to find yiur way to Big Eds at 651 Lakehurst in Waukegan!!! This place stands on it's own 2 feet side by side with anyplace we've been in Fort Worth! Excellent brisket and pulled pork, and some of the best mashed potatoes and mac and cheese I've had outside of my own house!! Good stuff!”

“Food here is delicious! The atmosphere and vibe is 10/10. I love the lentil soup and the vegan platter because you can try so many different things on the menu. The food is affordable. You can get a full meal for under $15. Love this place!”

“Great and varied Mediterranean food choices for every plaete. Large, clean dining area with a super friendly staff. If you're in or beat the downtown Waukegan area, make this a must stop destination.”

“I can't recommend Taco Pros enough!

This place strikes the perfect balance between a quick bite and a full-service dining experience. Unlike other Mexican restaurants that go heavy on stereotypical decor, Taco Pros opts for a more modern and casual ambiance that feels fresh and welcoming.

The food is consistently fantastic—flavorful, fresh, and satisfying every time. Despite the quality, their service is impressively fast, comparable to a fast-food restaurant, but with that extra touch of care and attention you'd expect from a sit-down spot. It’s ideal if you’re on a lunch break or just craving a quick, delicious meal.

For those in offices, Taco Pros offers excellent catering options with trays that are perfect for any meeting or office event. My kids and I are regulars here, coming in at least twice a week. It’s easy to see why they’ve grown so rapidly in the past five years, opening multiple locations. Taco Pros really nails it with their combination of good food, great prices, and a comfortable atmosphere.

Kid-friendliness: Ask for their 1 Taco kids meal, FF or rice and beans. It's great for kids 10 and younger.”

“This place is so awesome! The food is incredible, the staff is so nice and the wine is outstanding too. I will definitely be back and spread the word! ❤️”

“ABSOLUTELY must go! Such a friendly server and I felt so welcome. I really like spicy food myself but the people who cant handle spice well be cautious because they come to serve SPICE. Everything I tasted was delicious, I was sniffling and sweating but scarfing my face. Props to the only worker there, he was so sweet and gave me a free milkis. I WILL be coming back. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Highly recommend trying Merienda’s. I went there based on a recommendation from a friend. Loved the vibe, mom/pop, cute restaurant, with a lot of delicious options. Tried the spicy shrimp with garlic rice, pancit, ube latte with oat milk, pink calamansi lemonade, & mango cheesecake. Delicious! Will definitely go back to try other dishes. Very reasonably priced for the portion size. The guy at the register was friendly & enthusiastic with helping us select our entree.”

“The service was great, the food was made fresh to order. The dirty rice, mashed potatoes, and mushrooms was really good. The chicken was hot and crispy I definitely recommend. I give 5 stars”

Also, everything made from scratch including the desserts. Visiten este lugar, la comida muy deliciosa y las meseras muy amables. 100% recommended 👌”

“Delicious! Been here several times. Never disappoints!”

“I was pretty skeptical because I love sushi, but only good sushi and I have have some bad experiences with sushi in Illinois. But this place it definitely amazing and underrated. The food was amazing and the portions are perfect; the quality was very awesome and the presentation of the food made it 10 times more amazing. The workers are very nice and patient. I think that the prices are reasonable for the quality; I have paid much more for sushi that was of terrible quality. I think the variety is super intresting too and I really enjoy coming here. Definitely try this place, even if you don't like sushi, they have many options.”

“If you are looking for a top notch corned beef or pastrami sandwich or combo of both in Libertyville, Burt's deli is the place to go! The meat is made fresh, sliced thin and piled high. It is so tender it melts in your mouth. The owner is a great kibbitzer and makes you feel welcome, even if the line is long, he will be sure to get a sample out to you. Give Burt's a try, you won't be disappointed.”

“The Tala in Libertyville is also where Tala roasts its coffee. It's a cute little spot. The coffee is always delicious and high quality. I like that this location has muffins in addition to donuts. The zucchini chocolate chip muffins are amazing. The staff is friendly.”
