50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Gages Lake

“Hosted my 10 year high school reunion at Jesse Oaks and had nothing short of a great time. Outside of having a blast with my classmates, this space was just what we needed. Our space in the lodge area gave us plenty of space to hang out and more. Staff were very attentive and did much to accommodate our large group. Big shout out to Jeff for bartending and holding it down by himself!!! Thanks again for everything, Jesse Oaks.“

“Highly recommend! We enjoyed the delicious food and the service was great also. Thank you! We will be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Convenient, charming, clean and cozy, the Ella Grill is a great place to stop for a casual
meal with upscale feel. Proud owner Spiro and cheerful waitstaff like Teri provide old-world hospitality in a new facility that immediately feels like an old friend. Comprehensive menu includes hearty breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert choices
that taste great and are priced right. The tempting dessert case includes Spiro's delightful Greek cookies, a symphony of sugar and spice. Make sure you stop here soon for a warm and rewarding dining experience!

“I try to support our local restaurants as much as possible. When this Thai place popped up I had been happy to try it. It took me a few months to remember todo so. After a busy day I decided to order an pick up. Atmosphere is a modern sleek Asian fusion. Almost spa like. Families and groups of all ages were there enjoying their meals. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Always greeting you with a joyful hello amd smiles, even when they are swamped. Food is pretty good for a lower cost place. You can tell it is fresh ingredients and chefs that know how to create comfort food that looks beautiful and tasty. I have alot of food allergies and this place was open to working with me. I recommend them for a casual to nice dine in and definitely for any take out party!“

“Alex's Open Mic Coffee And Tea House is the beating heart of Antioch, wrapped in espresso aroma and pure creative electricity.
You step inside and immediately feel like you just crossed into a place that actually gets community. Not the fake, corporate buzzword version, but the real thing, built drip by drip, song by song, cup by damn cup.

The coffee hits with purpose. Smooth, strong, balanced, and brewed by people who clearly give a damn about the craft. None of that burnt-tire bitterness you get at the chain spots. This stuff is alive. Whether you grab a classic pour-over, a latte that could convert the non-believers, or one of their signature drinks, everything tastes intentional and dialed in.

The tea selection? Massive. Fragrant, clean, and curated like someone actually thought about what humans enjoy. You smell the leaves before they brew them and suddenly you are already halfway in love.

The vibe is the real magic trick.
It is cozy without being sleepy. Artsy without being pretentious. Warm without being syrupy. It is the kind of place where people actually talk, create, write, laugh, think, and exist without rushing their souls out the door.

When the music starts, the whole room transforms.
The Open Mic nights are not filler entertainment. They are a showcase of raw humanity. You hear power. You hear vulnerability. You hear people taking chances and owning their moment. And the crowd? Supportive like a damn village. Nobody judges. Everybody listens. You can feel the energy bounce around the room like a spark that refuses to die.

The staff treats you like a regular even if it is your first time walking in. Friendly, fast, genuine, and on top of everything without hovering.

If Antioch has a creative sanctuary, this is it.
If Antioch has a living room for the whole town, this is it.
If Antioch has a soul, chances are it is drinking a latte right here.

The Open Mic Coffee And Tea House is more than a café. It is a home base for anyone chasing caffeine, connection, or a moment of damn peace in a chaotic world.“

“The Wicked Egg is really incredible. My wife and I tried this place for the first time over this past weekend and the dining experience was top shelf. Their menu is very intuitive, and sleek. The service was quick, gentle and friendly. The food? The food was the best. There was so much flavor and their homemade sauces complimented every flavor combination that was on both our plates. Extra shoutout towards the staff and they were SO friendly, and sent us on our satisfied ways with “to go” containers of their home made sauces. We really look forward to going back!“

“My inlaws & I had breakfast here recently while we were attending my son's graduation from Navy bootcamp. The food was awesome, the staff very friendly, the prices decent and the Blueberry Wild Child tea SO tasty.“

“Excellent food and customer service!“

“Love this place! I’m from Wisconsin but life close to the Illinois boarder. I came across this gem while driving by. We stopped and order food- and then went back up to the window to order a few more times. The staff were very sweet and time efficient. Their creamsicle soft serve cone is to die for! We’ll be back!“

“Great experience; with no reservation, on a busy Saturday night, we were able to sit at the bar and had a wonderful time. The bartender was a pleasure, and so was his friend lol. Great steaks, drinks and atmosphere!! Seriously, his friend was dreamy!! Thank you Stevens for a wonderful evening, one my new sailor will forever remember! Love from Texas!!“

“The lengua tacos were delicious and the tamales were loaded with shredded pork. I’ll be back again soon.“

“great coffee! its very cozy“

“Absolute 🔥. So glad stopped by to try them. Got the brisket, rib tips, corn bread, Mac & cheese, collard greens and red beans and rice. Everything was amazing and can’t wait to go back to try everything else.“

“Very fresh and good food.“

“My favorite place to eat in Grayslake and probably Lu even Lake County. I have been a customer for years and finally placed my first catering order for my daughter’s birthday party, the process was simple and easy. Pick up was fast and speedy. All the guests LOVED the sandwiches and pasta salad and the presentation was beautiful! Plus I got to try some of my favorite sandwiches and labrettis in smaller portions. I can’t recommend them enough!!“

“Lived in Mundelein for22 years. I have since moved to Texas. I visit many microbreweries along my travels. It’s always a treat to come home and see my hometown brewery thriving. What a wonderful establishment with great craft beer. Keep up the great work. Cheers“

“Corey was our fabulous server on this busy Saturday night. He was Extraordinary!! Attentive, helpful, so kind and thoughtful. Best dinner I’ve had in a long time with a fabulous server experience!“

“Service was impeccable and the food is sooo good. We ordered hangover soup, both squid and beef stone bowl bibimbap, ttokbokki, chicken fried rice, and the mandu. I'll definitely be recommending this place to my friends and look forward to my next visit. :)“

“We had a holiday party for a bunch of girls. Ignacio was a wonderful server and did a great job. So much fun.!“

“Great old time tavern to have a drink and some eats. Friendly folks and good service“

“Delicious food !! Great service.“

“My wife and I have become a little picky with our restaurant selection but this place was great and the food was fresh, it has fancy atmosphere with decent pricing. We have come a couple of times with my wife for their lunch specials and they are the best. Pricing is very fair for what you get. We had the 2 sushi roll option and I had the Chicken pad Thai which was great. The server was a little serious and dry but it's been great every time.

Definitely recommend it.“

“Everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful. Its my 1 stop for supplements“

“Always a good experience at The Silo Restaurant. Very polite and professional staff. They get busy so be patient. Burger meal and pizza were great. Mushrooms are excellent. Lots of parking.
Yes my burger was served with the smiley face! It made me smile too! 🙂“

“Very disappointed that they do not offer any salad combinations other than chicken. Most sandwich places offer any of their sandwiches made into a salad. For example, a simple Julianne salad with ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese would be a nice change. Cook would not substitute for chicken. If they have all the fixings, I don't see why they can't make more salad options.“

“😀Great food, however, the “build your own burger“was a disappointment. The onions tasted bitter and very salty. I got the worst case of heartburn from this burger! OMG. Otherwise, everything else is top quality! Be careful when ordering this “build your own burger.”🍔 I’ve never tasted onions so bad, and seem to be imbedded into the meat that tasted so bitter and awful salty. Too bad because in my opinion, all other dishes are superb! Susan Lee Dzialo“

“I had an excellent time with my friend at 7 brew. Our server Rico was awesome and really helped us out ! He is so fire . We didn’t even know what drinks we wanted and it’s like he read our minds . Excellent service from Rico . This 7Brew is awesome :)“

“Great food, fair prices, friendly staff.“
