The place is clean, service is fast, and the staff are friendly. Perfect spot if you’re craving comfort food or a quick bite.

“Bluegrass Restaurant is a wonderful, family-owned restaurant. We have been ordering takeout and eating in since we came to Highland Park three years ago. The owners take pride in managing the restaurant on a daily basis. They prioritize customer service, great food, and a warm, welcoming experience. Last night, they hosted the Highland Park/Highwood Professional Moms group. We had only expected 15 women to attend, but 25 women ended up coming. The owners and the staff were AMAZING. They brought over additional chairs. They provided us with top-notch service, including separate checks. They respected us when we were speaking to the group and quietly took orders in the background. I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant.“

“One of the most beautiful meals I have had in a long time. Stunning presentation, thoughtful bite construction, fresh ingredients, and well cultivated flavors. The service was incredibly attentive. Warm and inviting ambience. Can’t wait to go back!“

“30 yr customer, will never see me again, ordered soup of the day chicken with a large pasta noodle, did not care for it at all, 75% broth in large container, expressed my disappointment to Kathy, did not offer apology or to make it right,“

“Best burgers in the area!“

“This is our second visit to Burl, and it did not disappoint! The food is ultra fresh and the flavors are vibrant. The ricotta honey spread, the carrots with a dreamy black lime yogurt sauce and the trout were standout dishes.
The service was attentive and unfussy, which I appreciated
This spot is such a great addition to the North Shore.“

“Not a bad item on their entire menu! By far one of the best places in the Sauganash/Edgebrook neighborhood.“

“The Arvin Place, a hidden gem for authentic Mongolian food!
Stopped by The Arvin Place and was genuinely impressed. Ordered the khuushuur (fried meat pies) and a traditional meat platter with boiled beef, potatoes, carrots, and a delicate dough wrap. Portions are generous, the meat is tender and flavorful, and the khuushuur came out golden with a thin, crispy shell, exactly how it should be. The broth on the side was a nice touch.
The space is clean and welcoming, with photos of the Mongolian steppe on the walls that set the mood. Friendly service, fair prices, and a rare chance to try real Mongolian cuisine in the Chicago area. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Grilled cheese with gyro meat was amazing!! There were 11 of us in our group! Service was super friendly and extremely fast! We will be back on our next trip!“

“Last stop of the trip for a quick snack before heading to the airport! ✈🍴 Our waitress was absolutely wonderful—I totally forgot her name, but she deserves a shoutout! She was so nice, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of. Great way to end the trip! ❤“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Prairie Grass Cafe. The spring rolls were loaded with delicious perfectly cooked shrimp and the accompanying sauce (sweet chili with garlic and cilantro) plays nicely with them. The flounder with roasted carrots and parsnip-potato purée was as delicious as it looks. It was generously portioned and beautifully plated. We also enjoyed the mussels with parsley, shallots, and breadcrumbs pasta. My husband is Sicilian and it reminded us of the pasta con le sarde that we love to have in Sicily. The mussels were plump and delicious. The wine list is very nice. We found wines we really enjoyed and they were reasonably priced. We enjoyed the Attems, Pinot Grigio, Friuli, Italy ‘22 with our mussels and flounder, and the Fritz Haag, Riesling, Germany ‘21 with our pumpkin pie for dessert. Service was perfect.“

“Service and food all outstanding. I will be going back.“

“Great experience from start to finish! The customer service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, I’m not from the area, but if I’m ever back, I’ll definitely be stopping in again. This is the kind of customer service every restaurant should strive to provide. A special shout-out to Miguel for making the experience even more memorable!“

“This is one of the best family-run restaurants in Des Plaines. Sunrise Grill has been serving the community for 18 years, and you can taste the experience in every dish. Chef Jose cooks with passion, and Sylvia’s hospitality is unmatched. Ask the staff for their recommendations—they’ve never steered me wrong!“

“Root beer float was delicious and we also had a chance to try the Italian Ice!! Can’t wait to keep coming back this summer! Staff was so friendly too!“

“our friend/landlord brought us to you all and it was so good and fresh and juicy and it was the best food I've ever had in a long time! I really recommend this place!!“

“My husband LOVES the double burger & the delicious strawberry shakes! We ordered two more to go! The fries are so tasty and crispy!! Yum, yum!! 😋😋😋“

“Solid local breakfast spot in DF, the staff is super friendly and good service. The food tastes great and they have a wide menu. I personally love their Mexican breakfast dishes. It’s got a cute diner vibe inside and is easy to just walk in and grab a seat for breakfast. I do enjoy their breakfast but it’s not my #1 spot in the area.“

“that has a splendid attention to its clients and a very variable and very familiar menu I adore it“

“Don’t order the short rib mini sandwiches! They were 90 percent fat. When I informed the waitress she indicated that there is always fat on those sandwiches. My sandwich was mostly grizzle and fat. My friend had the same thing but hers at least had some meat.“

“It is so refreshing to meet an owner who is actively present in his restaurant. Mark Salmon enthusiastically and creatively arranged for my friend and I to dine outside (our request), despite the rain. We stayed dry under umbrellas and thanks to Sandra, our amazing waitress, we celebrated my birthday with fine food (impressive menu choices and food presentation) and great company! It was my first time dining at 501 Local and this restaurant met and exceeded my high standards in every way! It is a hidden gem and our new fav restaurant. Highly recommend!!“

“LOVE this place. It’s a throwback to how restaurants used to be before everyone became allergic to everything. Classic, no frills, basic food and friendly fast service. We come here with our young kids and it never disappoints. Don’t come if you want culinary extravagance. It’s a diner! Kids items come with a free scoop of ice cream and they have a bowl of candy at the cashier desk.“

“Grate food and service acutely and fast“

“Loved the Voodoo Kings Car Show 07/16/2023. The Elks Club always does such a great job at organizing and hosting a variety of events for the community!“

“great service!!! the hostess was very polite and professional 👍“

“I will drive across the state for the fries with garlic aioli. Yummy!!“

“It's hand down one of the best diners around state. Friendly atmosphere, great food and this Hash Skillet is the BOMB. Don't forget to also include a Sunrise Smoothie to your meals, makes the day feel so much better.

Love it since I've been coming here after my early 5am work shifts. Always leave contently full.“

“We love backyard grill as an option for our teachers when ordering lunch. Food is delicious, portions are perfect and with the extensive menu everyone can find something that they love. Thank you!“

“It’s a great place for family to come eat and have fun ..I love it“

“This is really a wonderful restaurant. The price point is excellent and the value for money superb. The food was really, really good, and we all enjoyed our meal. The skirt steak, the lamb chops, the beet salad and the ceviche. The poached pear is something different (not sweet at all) and the chocolate cake was very tasty. And for 10 bucks you get a really solid pour of wine (probably around 9 oz), which is just unheard of in a restaurant. Service was good and we really enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend you try this new place. They deserve to be more busy. It’s new and people need to get the word out.“

“Been coming here since I was a kid! I moved up north and haven’t been back in years and as God as my witness it tastes like I never left. Thank you for the nostalgia!“

“Excellent food and great service every time I'm there!!!😋“

“Great salads!!! Great chicken sandwiches!!! Best cheese fries in the area!!!“

“This was the perfect place for my daughter's baby shower. The room was lovely. The staff was excellent and the food was so good! We opted for the buffet. There was plenty of food. The ice cream sundae bar was a hit. All around? The perfect place. I cannot say enough good things.“

“Ask for Carl for your server!!! Extremely educated on everything on the wine menu and both of his food recommendations were absolutely phenomenal!!! Very friendly and welcoming!!! We will definitely be back to see Carl soon!“

“I can't say enough about my whole experience with the staff, accommodations and food!! I must have called 6 times changing the number of people and requesting a round table and they were so patient and accommodating. I'm sorry I don't remember the names I spoke with on the phone but they were wonderful. Our server Miguel was great, we wanted for nothing and the room we were in was outstanding. We all had an excellent time I could not have been happier!!“

“Just had brunch at Greenhouse Inn and wow, what a gem. $20 per person for the Sunday buffet, and it was worth every penny. They had everything from crispy bacon and scrambled eggs to beef brisket and shrimp. The salad bar was fresh, and the sweet table? Don’t even get me started—those brownie bites were chef’s kiss. The vibe is warm and welcoming, and the staff? Friendly as can be. Plus, you're supporting a great cause. Definitely coming back next Sunday!“

“I was pleasantly suprised. The Fillet was fantastic . Served medium rare the way I like it. I could almoat cut it with a fork. The baked potatoe was asume as well. My server Holly was exceptional! She was pleasant, funny, and very helpful! Thank you Holly.“

“Music was a little loud for us but otherwise the atmosphere was fine.

Medium-well, Saturday Special Petit Prime Burger on a pretzel bun with feta and garlic mashed potatoes were excellent. Solid service also.

Last, prices and portions were very good.“
