Restaurants near Glencoe

“Hometown has that unique quality of being a small local business that has won over the hearts of everyone in town. They have wisely kept the menu to a select group of items and they are all delicious! The coffee is Intelligensia and delicious!”

“Will absolutely be back!

The Branzino is amazing, the steak was amazing, the dessert (Lemon Cake) was amazing.

We are picky about our places and we will absolutely be back. Julie was awesome and had great suggestions.

My only regret was we forgot to order the crab cakes for an appetizer.”

“Always a wonderful meal at Meg’s. Food, service, ambience, staff....all are outstanding!!!! A true treasure in Glencoe!!!”

“This was my first time in Glencoe to watch a show at Writer’s Theater, and I stopped by this place for a meal before the show. It seems to be the only Chinese restaurant in the entire town and also one of the few places both open at night and relatively affordable.

My friend and I ordered the Walnut Shrimp Special and Sauteed Green Beans. We were told it would take 30 minutes, so we sat inside to wait, and the food came out right on time and piping hot. You can’t dine in the restaurant though, as they don’t have a dining license.

9 times out of 10, Chinese takeout will always hit for me, and Shanghai Garden was no exception. The green beans were flavorful and well-sauteed. The walnut shrimp had a nice crispy texture, tangy taste, and also came with broccoli and crispy noodle pieces.

The portions are large for the price and they also included a large box of rice with our order. For just $15 per person, we had a good amount of leftovers. Overall great value, tasty food, generous portions, friendly service— I would love to return if I’m in the area again!

“Went early in the morning, good but the donuts they sell in bulk are of different quality then they sell off the shelf.

Dietary restrictions: Their donuts don’t have nuts, which is good”

“This Subway is really well run with great staff. My wife and I have been eating daily Subway lunches for almost 15 years. This one is perhaps the best one we have ever been to.”

“There are terrace seats and inside, and we ate on the terrace in the shade of a tree. The food is creative and of high quality. It was enough for my purpose today, but it would be nice to have a little more variety on the menu.

Although it's not pictured, the hamburger I ordered from the outdoor grill was also delicious!”

“I do not know how people don’t like this place!! I grew up on it!! The employees are some of the nicest people I have ever met! Sure things are a little expensive, but that’s because of the location! I bet rent is crazy high!! The food, people and— the food are so amazing!!”

“Beautiful, nice environment�, plenty of space. Good stuff.”

“I had an engagement party for my Son and his fiancée. It was in the lawn next to our building on the lake in Chicago. A casually elegant setting. We had a lot of different food prepared professionally and I made salads, and we grilled steaks, burgers and chicken. Khmai was enlisted to do all the appetizers, some additional salads and various spreads and dips. I have Mai my approximate budget, let her know what I was preparing and planned to cook and asked her to do her best to come up with what she thought would be best as complimentary. She outdid herself. The staff is lovely to work with, helpful and genuine. My guests were blown away by the delicious and complex tastes we are not used to since most had never had Cambodian food prior. Fermented catfish dip? Wonderful, all the rolls veg or not were terrific, shrimp toast was my personal favorite, salads crisp, spicy and everything felt special and unique. Flavors so rich and vibrant felt like a special treat. It was perfect served with standard picnic fare a little elevated. The atmosphere of the party was pitch perfect, while retaining a quiet all American type picnic feel, the quality of both the food I had prepared and grilled, plus the array of flavors the appetizers added made it seem really special and definitely a treat and celebratory. It felt like someone really cared and tried to make it memorable and my guests were over the moon for this food. I would absolutely recommend dining there, we have a few times and it’s a family feeling you just can’t force or create without it being real. Thank you for your heart and talent to this wonderfully talented mother and daughter team!”

“Excellent service, and the best pizza I have ever had.”

“I had Jipai Jianbing and it was delicious. The staff said that the one with raw pine was the best, but since I don't like raw pine, I ate it with jianbing and have no regrets. The jianbing is so big that you will be full even if you only eat half of it. Those who are not familiar with the spice may not like it, but those who are familiar with it may enjoy the nostalgic taste. The cream fries were also delicious. The fries were clean, but it felt like they were fried in clean oil. The Shojwabing was a little disappointing, but the Jianbing and cream fries were so delicious that I want to visit again the next time I go to Chicago!”

“Amazing to place to begin with. Took forever to choose what to get because there's a lot of options. Staffs are nice and friendly. They keep on giving us samples and that make us hard to decide more. lol. They also keep offering you water. They have dining area but we preferred outdoor. Will never think twice in going back there.

Kid-friendliness: Kids enjoyed our stay there. Very friendly and nice staffs.”

“Great pho, but you really can't go wrong with any dish on the menu. The spicy shredded chicken soup is such a comfort food, and great to pick up and have at home if you have a cold. Great appetizers. HUGE portions”

“Stopped in for a farm to table experience and found just that. Every bite was impeccable. Highly recommend to anyone traveling through the area. Great cocktails and appetizer selection.”

“The meat is delicious & the rice is the most falourful than any other place. Love the ambiance too.”

“We live on the other side of Evanston but make the trip to Zentli quite a lot. Great for brunch with kids or dinner and drinks with adults. Varied and interesting brunch dishes and great margaritas. Staff is always friendly and there is only rarely ever a wait.”

“I travel to the area for work and always love coming here! ♥️♥️”

“Fresh ingredients, beautiful plating, out of this world pastries! Hip and cozy atmosphere! The menu is always rotating so there’s always new and delicious options to try! Great coffee!”

“Great comfort food. Delicious meatloaf. Staff was courteous and prompt. Definitely recommend”

“Takibi is a real gem! The sushi was amazing and delicious, made with fresh high quality ingredients, care and intentionality. It’s also a really cozy, cute and intimate space. And to top it all off, the prices were super reasonable given the quality of food! 10/10 highly recommend!!”

“The food, atmosphere, and service were all exceptional! Everything, down to the drink names, perfectly complemented the ambiance. This is an absolutely beautiful place to enjoy dinner and great food. The shawarma rolls, pork chops, and Moroccan tagine were all outstanding. If you enjoy sweet and refreshing cocktails, I highly recommend the 'Gotta Have Faith.' Overall, I would definitely return to try more dishes and highly recommend visiting this unique spot. It’s truly a must-visit!”

“We're from out of town and stopped in for dinner after visiting a nearby museum and our pizza was delicious. The staff is extremely friendly and took excellent care of us. Cannoli we're great as well. We're over an hour away, but we will be back!”

“The food and drinks were good, the service was attentive and friendly but let the buyer beware! The waitstaff asked: "Celebrating a birthday?" Let us get you some shots! This happened twice however, all the shots ended up on our bill and it was $56 for four shots! Twice!”

“Excellent food! I had the veggie platter and everything was very tasty.”
