Restaurants in Geneva

“Great food!! Great atmosphere!! Very fun!!”

“Top tier food quality & customer service! I’ve been here a couple times and they never disappoint. Consistancy in both taste & service. Definitely recommend trying their food if you’re in the area!”

“Excellent food in a cozier atmosphere than all the corporate owned places. Hardworking, friendly owners who really care about their product. Never had a bad experience over the many years we have gone here.”

“The best pizza we have ever had hands down! We finally tried the location in Geneva a couple weeks ago and already have ordered from there twice! Also the staff is very welcoming and friendly! Easily 5 stars!”

“My granddaughter brought me to Gia Mia for my birthday. Food was excellent and the service was beyond excellent…very attentive to detail and everyone was very pleasant. From appetizer to dessert, it was wonderful. Hopefully I can celebrate my 80th birthday at Gia Mia next year. Maybe a small party💕 thank you Gia Mia for a great birthday dinner. Huge thank you to my special granddaughter, Olivia for a wonderful birthday! Treat!”

“My husband and I had our 1st meal inside the restaurant. We’d dined on the patio several times. We loved the ambiance inside. We began with the burrata appetizer-outstanding. I opted for the lamb chop special and my husband had the misto de mare, both were delicious. To finish our wonderful dinner, we had the lemoncello and mascarpone cake. Scrumptious!”

“Being a celiac person, I love that they have options for me and I feel safe ordering, knowing they take care in preparing the meal. The food is very tasty, I love that I can get cheese curds.”

“The setting was lovely. We ate outside. There was only one server when we arrived and she was working incredibly hard. We appreciated her efforts. Eventually others arrived to help. My steak was not cooked as I requested but I wasn't about to send it back because I felt like it might've taken awhile to get it. By the end of the meal everything was lovely but there were some bumps in the road. For us, on our 35th anniversary, it was not the special dinner we had hoped for.”

“I ordered chicken & filet combo. Filet was very good, chicken tasted good but was very dry and overcooked. Quality of veggies were good, I just wish there’s more of it. Was also hoping there’s more with the fried rice like onions, carrots, peas, maybe even scrambled eggs. Lastly, it’s missing yum yum sauce and soup. Can’t have hibachi without those two!”

“We had a wonderful lunch and our server, Mia was just as friendly as could be! Absolutely loved everything about this place! Definitely looking forward to coming back soon! :)”

“Love this place! We eat here frequently on Sundays!”

“The steamed BBQ pork buns are a must! Beyond delicious. I also am a huge fan of the gluten-free thin rice noddles that I substitute in my main dish typically! The spicy ramen broth is delicious (my husbands go-to). If you are in a rush, this might not be the place for you. A true mom and pap shop, perfecting every dish before serving. For my husband and I, it’s well worth the wait for the authentic divine flavors. Great portion sizes as well!”

“Delicious homemade soup and sandwiches, served hot, generous portions, and fast service w/ John Colias”

“I ordered a dairy free smash cake and a regular cake from Eye Candy Bake Shop for my daughter’s birthday. Everyone raved about the birthday cake and my daughter loved her personal cake! I was shown how to properly cut the cake and had help bringing the cake to my car - something most bakeries don’t do anymore! We will definitely order more cakes/desserts in the future!”

“Great food & customer service...!!!”

“Great bourbon. The drink and bartender Rochelle was outstanding. Also you can buy bourbon here!! Win win!”

“It’s the best plate to grab a wine and snack.”

“We enjoyed the great selection from the pick two menu. We dined inside. Our server was amazing. So bubbly and kind. We are eager to go back. The food was delicious.”

“My daughter and I had a delicious lunch at Foxfire today! The service was wonderful, and the lobster roll was one of the best I have had. Certainly a bright spot in our rainy day! Thank you, Foxfire!”

“Great tasting and fresh food and drinks! Some of the best I’ve had”

“Walrus Room is a solid five star restaurant. Table service is fantastic. Our server knew the menu inside and out, provided useful recommendations and was very attentive without being pesty. Starting with the appetizers four of us had Shrimp DeJohgne, the Burrata, Curds and Chorizo Mussels. All very very good. From their extensive lists the ladies had wine and I had bourbon. For dinner we ordered the walleye on rice, Amish roast chicken and the prime steak frites. All really good although maybe the entrees were a bit salty. We ordered too much food and drink so the nearly five hundred dollar bill was our fault. Great service, fantastic atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.”

“We attended for our company holiday party and everything was great. The drinks were delightful, all of the food came out hot and the sushi was on point!”

“Wonderful place to enjoy a glass (or two) of wine!”

“I am so happy they are opened again. They were temporally closed which finding another restaurant that services the same quality of food is a challenge in this area. We always order take out and the food has great flavor and cooked well. We always order the fried rices and lo mien which any of the versions are good. General Tsao and Sesame Chicken.”

“Had a great experience. Food amazing. Service was excellent. Affordable and great quality. Everything on the menu looked great. Many options for everyone. I had a salad but others in our family had sandwiches and other great tasty menus items. Can’t complain. Would go back anytime we go back to town.”

“Ice cream has never been my first choice of desserts but Candy’s Creamery may have just changed my sweet tooth preference. Tonight I had a scoop of mint chocolate chip with a scoop of dark chocolate…and oh my goodness it was delicious! Highly recommend!🍦🍦🍦”

“The Alchemist is quite simply fantastic. I can’t think of anyplace where you can get better seafood. So many cocktail bars offer drinks with great names but with no pizzazz when it come to the taste. All of The Alchemist’s cocktails have pizzazz, and if you don’t see something you want, have the bartender mix something up for you on the spot!”

“Food is delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and chill. The staff is wonderfully friendly and accommodating. We were there with my 7 and 10 year old for dinner. My son has special needs and they were so great with him. At the end of the dinner when they could see I was struggling a bit with my son, one server came to me and said, “don’t worry mama, we got you.” So kind. Thank you Stockholms for being an amazing place. Highly recommend. Highly highly recommend.”

“Cozy diner and fresh food.”

“Some of this food makes me wanna dance. Shoutout to the man G-reg on providing some of BEST service I have had in my life. I asked for a napkin and he gave us not one, but TWO. Buffalo chicken sandwich was as big as my house. Must try.”

“Food is amazing!! Pastor tacos and red sauce enchiladas is to die for!!”

“Service was awful! Our server, Joselyn, slammed down the glasses of water 5 minutes after we were seated, took our order and never saw her again until she slammed the bill down at our table. We saw her for a total of 3 minutes in the 45 minutes we were there. Unfortunately for Joselyn, her tip reflected her poor service. I tip 20-25% for good service, she lost out and made the restaurant less desirable to return. However, the burger was juicy and delicious, the macaroni and cheese was outstanding!”

“Healthy choice, no added sugar, smoothies are so good. Kids love it !!”

“Lunch today was fabulous! We had the Thai fried spring rolls to start out and then the yellow curry and pahd Thai. Everything was delicious! Their red chilli sauce is the best I've ever tasted. After, we finished with an order of mango with sticky rice, a perfect small sweet treat to end the meal. Excellent service and very friendly staff.”

“Nosh has very quickly become our favorite breakfast place! The food is stellar, the staff is outstanding! Whether its your first time in or your hundredth, you are treated like friends. There is a reason we eat there sometimes multiple times a week!”

“Staff- service- and the beer selections???? What else????? They are the best!”

“My favorite Geneva taco joint! Great tacos and tamales! I love the quick service and counter seat lunch spot atmosphere. A great spot for us tradespeople lookin for a hot fast and delicious lunch. Memo does a fantastic job and is always consistent! Enjoy!”

“Just realized I have not left a review of Penrose and damn if that ain’t a shame! Literally been coming here since they opened their doors. Great beers, fantastic vibe in the taproom, terrific crew (shout out to Elise!). Must visit if you’re in the Geneva area!”

“We love Egg Harbor in Geneva,IL. Fantastic menu, superb staff, all round great place. Bring back chilled overnight oats!”

“We love this place. Great “breakfast diner” atmosphere. Great food. Friendly staff (Gretchen was a sweetheart). We’ve been here before the pandemic and are so happy that they made it through that. 10 out of 10.”

“Best steal burrito I've had. It was an actual steak, grilled then cut to pieces, not the chopped steak that's been on a grill forever. Perfectly seasoned, almost didn't need any salsa (and that's part of my reason for getting burritos!). Husband loves pastor and is a bit of a connoisseur and said it was phenomenal. The red sauce is a good actual pepper red, not too hot. The green sauce is the best verde sauce I've had. Very authentic on both. The house salsa was very fresh and bright, with some heat to it. Or server was very polite and accommodating. We may have found a new favorite. 5/5.”

“This is a Geneva staple known and loved by locals. Love the gyros and hot dogs. Nothing fussy or complicated, just good food. I'll take Munchie P's over Portillos any day of the week.”

“I wish they were open longer hours this has helped me so much on my fitness journey. I sometimes crave them for dinner snacks too

I've tried a ton of the flavors they are all pretty good 👍 my faves are pineapple upside down cake, salted carmel, and better finger ♡”

“Always have a fabulous sub. I’m gluten free so they have a fabulous GF bun. I love most of the staff. They remember you and are funny ......It’s my one treat that I enjoy so much ....always get #2 extra meat and dressing. Thank you Jersey mike for keeping it real”

“Good food & service. Love the pizza.”

“Just moved to the area and after trying LOTS of Italian spots, Antonio's has quickly become our favorite! :)”

“They have single handedly guided through PMS, a breakup, and of course happy times too.
Do yourself a favor and get a cupcake during Fall times so it comes with the cutest little whipped cream pumpkin”

“Delicious, and great service!”

“Just don't rely on the app waitlist...when you get this message: You're next in line to be seated! Please head to the host stand now. Enjoy your brunch! Text "cancel" if your plans change. DONT EXPECT YOUR NAME TO BE CALLED....standing next to the host stand waiting to be called, not text, standing 3 feet away....I finally looked at my phone and I was cancelled...warning keep your heads on your phone, impersonal but it's the way it is.”

“Liam and Joey are always super helpful, very nice, and professional. They do an excellent job. I always have a good experience when they’re working. Thanks guys for making this a great Jamba to visit!”

“Wow what a great location filled with fun and talented people! Get there if you want to relax and get caffeinated.”

“5 STARS AND 2 THUMBS UP!!!

Absolutely loved this location. ❤️

The staff was extremely friendly and nice. So patient and helpful. It was our first time here. It's probably family operated because everything had the same wonderful personality and smile.

The food...LOVED IT!! Delicious! I recommend the sweet and smoky chicken. The bread was fresh and soft. Ample chicken in the sandwich.

The dining area was modern and clean. The staff clears your table for you.

Make sure you down load the app for potential reward freebies or coupons.

Will definitely come again. I enjoyed the friendly staff, warm food, and nice environment.”

“Rating this place is difficult because I love BBQ and I’ve been searching for a good one for awhile. The first time coming here (take out) was fantastic. Plenty of food, good prices, good service, and delicious food. The second time (dine -in) following a few months was not the same. Food was not all that tasty and Mac & cheese is always spicy regardless requesting without spice. It just didn’t hit the same. I do enjoy this place and want to visit a third but unsure if it’ll be like loving my first visit or settling like my second visit. Regardless, I still believe this might be one of the best BBQ place in the suburbs, which coming from is says a lot. I have had plenty of ribs from plenty of places!”

“Great food and friendly service.”

“Delicious food and fast service! 5 stars!”

“We've been looking for a great local boba tea location. We stumbled across this and decided to give it a try. My matcha milk tea with crystal boba was incredible. My daughter's brown sugar tea was photo worthy and we realized afterwards we should have taken a picture. An easy 5 stars! We highly recommend and will be back.”

“Love their pizza! The right amount of sauce and cheese. Never a long wait.”

“The best almond croissants 🥐 However sometimes the centers are still too doughy and wet.”

“I love Currito!!! This is my favorite place ever! I have told so many friends and co workers to go! My boyfriend and friends love it to. This place is my first choice if I’m hungry!”

“Beat tuna salad, cookies, paninis. And also in the refrigerator ready to go their smoked chicken enchiladas”

“I would recommend their gluten free pizza!”

“Aurelio’s is a terrific restaurant! It has an awesome atmosphere easy to enjoy with friends and family. I’ve always had a wonderful experience there. They have great food, drinks, as well as live music on their wonderful back patio. Their service is excellent, and I highly recommend this to anyone looking have great restaurant experience and night out on the town!”

“Excellent cupcakes and coffee. We also got a box of toffee that was very good as well.”

“The RICE BALLS are to die for!!! Chicken so tender and juicy ;-)”

“Great price on a HUGE slice of pepperoni pizza and a soda less than $7! In my opinion the perfect pizza! Worth the ride from Elgin 😁😁😁 thanks for a great lunch today!”

“Very happy baristas in the wee hours of the morning . . . what would make me even happier would be if they could serve me cold brew diluted with hot water instead of cold water and ice, as I have requested multiple times and have been denied 😭 "Cold brew is 67 percent less acidic than other varieties, which means that it may be easier for people with sensitive stomachs to digest." And I would prefer it warm instead of iced on these chilly mornings 😘 Is this really being too particular . . . at Starbucks?!”

“I've been ordering here for years and never disappointed.”

“Acai Berry Boost: substitute banana with more Pomegranate. It's delicious! Order ahead with the app and it will be prepared withing minutes. I've tried the food as well. I was surprised at the quality of ingredients and flavors. I wish I could get a smooth every day.”

“Little shop with a WEALTH of variety! Smells amazing as you walk in and the options for coffee and loose tea is unparalleled. Owners are super sweet and helpful. Will definitely be back!”

“I LOVE the Friday Fish Fry, but they’ve got enough menu options for everyone to enjoy a meal. The fresh fish, awesome wings, burgers, and rib-eye steak sandwich are all delicious. Pair any meal with the beer or drink of your choice, catch a game on one of their multiple TVs and you’ve got a nice evening! Be sure to say hey to Natalie and Archie, they’re two of the best bartenders you’ll meet.”

“My daughter and I had a delicious lunch at Foxfire today! The service was wonderful, and the lobster roll was one of the best I have had. Certainly a bright spot in our rainy day! Thank you, Foxfire!”

The chef, the server, and other employees were very friendly and attentive and made good recommendations for the overall dining experience. My family decided that we would definitely go back there again.”

“My wife and I have stopped by a few times and have never been disappointed. The scallion schmear with the jalapeno and cheddar bagels are " to die for". Great service, selection and the food delivers.”

“The best pizza we have ever had hands down! We finally tried the location in Geneva a couple weeks ago and already have ordered from there twice! Also the staff is very welcoming and friendly! Easily 5 stars!”
