Thank you to our waitress, Amelia! Great service and thank you for the birthday brownie and ice cream! Unfortunately, there were ants crawling all over our table, in the crevasse attached to the wall, as well as all over the brick wall. Gross

Funny how the best meals are never planned. I ended up at Emil's on Center with some friends for a low-key birthday get-together, and it turned into another reminder of why I keep coming back.

I've actually been coming here for a while. I was first introduced to the Mundelein location years ago, so when I started working in the area, I figured, why not give the Grayslake location a try too? It ended up being a great decision.

I went with the buffalo wings, all flats....read full review
