“Everything was great. They even substituted strawberries on the blueberry bliss. They double checked to make sure that I had syrup, silverware and everything for my take-out order. The staff was friendly and greeted me at the door. Everything looked clean and nice. The food was delicious. I will go back to dine in.“
“Very fun dining experience. Shared the # 1 special: snow crab, shrimp, corn, potato & sausage. It came with a side of fries and crab fried rice. We chose the garlic butter sauce. We also ordered clam chowder and calamari rings. It was all served hot and was delicious. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back.“
“Had a fabulous meal at Flame India (Libertyville location) tonite. Had the chicken & cilantro samosa for appetizer & for my main dish butter chicken & chili cheese naan. Our server Peter was very nice & attentive. I cant wait to come back again!“
“This restaurant exceeded our expectations in every aspect. The inviting ambience, with dimly lit surroundings and fitting decor, set the perfect stage for a memorable date night. Frank, our server, displayed exceptional professionalism, making us feel like valued patrons from the moment we arrived. A notable touch was Bill, who took the time to introduce himself, adding a classy and personal touch to our dining experience. The beverage selection, featuring the Key Lime Martini, Dragon Martini, and Calypso Coffee, impressed with generous portions and delightful flavors. The Blackened Seafood Platter appetizer showcased quality and quantity, preparing us for the outstanding soups to follow--Clam Chowder and Seafood Rice Soup, both notable highlights. The Alaskan Halibut and Jumbo Stuffed Shrimp entrees demonstrated the restaurant's mastery in seafood preparation, delivering dishes with rich flavors and impeccable cooking. Our culinary journey concluded with the Caramel Custard Flan dessert, a fittingly delightful end to an exquisite meal. The overall experience, marked by impeccable service, inviting ambiance, and stellar cuisine, undoubtedly earns this establishment a solid five-star recommendation. Live music on Fridays and Saturdays added a charming note, making our evening even more enjoyable. We eagerly anticipate our return to savor the exceptional offerings once again.“
“Can’t beat this place for ribs. Been going for decades. They still fall off the bone they are so tender. Service is great, lovely dining room across the street from Diamond Lake. Good wine list and extensive menu. We would go more often if it wasn’t so pricey but it’s our go-to spot for special occasions.“
“Fast and friendly service. Good food. I did ask the waiter if they get to keep their tips and he said yes they do. He was surprised that I asked him so I explained about the review below and he said that it is incorrect; they do get to keep all their tips.“
“Legendary spot. Sitting outside on a nice summer day here is unmatched. Can eat a ton of great food for insanely low prices, comparatively. Everyone’s extremely friendly and often the service alone makes me want to 2x any bill with the tip.“
“Went here on a Friday night recently for the first time with a friend. The host and the waitress made sure that my first experience would be unforgettable. We received delicious appetizers on the house. Service was probably the best service I've received in a really long time. And most importantly the food was delicious and fresh. Staff put so much effort into their service and food. It was refreshing to have such a positive experience at a local restaurant for a change. Will be back again soon!“
“Great neighborhood eatery that serves great steaks and salmon, Shish Ka Bob and burgers. Great staff and Owners, restaurant is very clean.Parking: Plenty of Parking In front of buildingWheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchair or handicapped individuals“
“In reading these reviews, I'm wondering if some of these people are going to the same place that I'm going. Dean, at the door, is absolutely wonderful. He always makes me feel welcome and calls me by name. Ben is new and as I've gotten to know him he is so super friendly. He sees me coming in. He comes over and personally greats me. I've never seen a manager that actually carries food for the bartenders and helps them to keep up with the bar service. He's great. The bartenders are so outstanding. Liz and Kristen are on the ball and when not working with customers are cleaning and arranging and doing exactly what bartender should do. They're super friendly and are always there with my drink when I want it. This is my to-go place on the way home from work. When I stop in midweek, Alex is my bartender and he makes the most wonderful blueberry lemon drops. During the week when I'm in there, he'll come out of the dining room and over to greet me and asked me if everything is okay. He's a wonderful bartender server and all around friendly person I stop in for a drink or an evening of fun. The food is fantastic. I have never had a a bad meal. I always eat at the bar but Yessica has gotten to know me and always comes by and greets me and asked me if it had a good day.“
“We live in the NW suburbs. This is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the area. The pho has a heady aroma and other dishes I've had there were excellent. To get as good, you have to go into Chicago, and even there, few are any better.“
“We have been searching for decent “Chinese” food since moving to mchenry 8 months ago and NOTHING in the area was even close to being good. This was the first time I’ve had it since moving and I can FINALLY say we found the place. The egg rolls were so good, which is usually my biggest test on a place! The beef egg food young was also great, no big chunks of onions either. It was a good portion of ingredients, and the flavor was spot on. My husband had the chicken fried rice and orange chicken and he said it was really good - he usually says “it was fine” whenever we get Chinese, so this is a big compliment coming from him. The service getting the food was quick and still warm when we got it. I do remember coming here years ago, and remember it being really a great atmosphere and really good. So luckily with Uber Eats, we were able to have it delivered. I am thrilled to say I FINALLY found my go to spot!!!!“
“There was a little language barrier between us and our server. We ordered sushi, but at the end of our meal we asked where our sushi was and they told us no one was making sushi that eve. It showed up on our bill too. They took care of it though. The food was delicious and the chef was very entertaining! Our 6 and 3 year old loved the chef's tricks.“
“We were greeted by the sound of live music. How unexpected & fun. I ordered the paella. It was very good and made me feel like I was on vacation at the beach! My husband had a fish filet stuffed with shrimp and cheese. The service was great, the food outstanding, and the atmosphere was fun.We will return.“
“I came for the first time on a Thursday with my boyfriend! The waitress was super friendly and had a good attitude. The food 10/10. We ordered the fried mojarra, deviled shrimp, and the small tray of crab legs. Instead of rice I ordered pure salad and avocado with the mojarra. Everything is very rich. The drinks are also super delicious. I recommend!!!“
“We accidentally found this place, but glad we did. We tried their chicken nuggets and fries, the clams sandwich, the clam chowder (it was a bit thin but stilll good, the bread pudding dessert (this was yummy). This place offers quick service, is close to the interstate, limited seating. Would highly recommend this restaurant .“
“Came here for a quick bite with my husband and the bar area was busy! Sat there anyways. Teresa, the bartender, did a great job at managing all her patrons! My husband and I both ordered bloody Mary's and they were yummy. For lunch, we told Teresa we were splitting a plate, and we'd ordered the teriyaki salmon wrap with sweet potato fries. Teresa was kind enough to split this meal onto two plates rather than have us fighting for room or it sitting between us. I thought that was so thoughtful! Let me tell you, the salmon was SO DELICIOUS and fresh! I was nervous the sundried tomato wrap would overpower the salmon but it definitely was a side note! The sweet potato fries were perfectly cooked and simply amazing (I normally do not like them, but this changed my mind!). My husband also ordered the unstuffed red pepper soup and it was by far the beat I'd tasted. The Shanty is absolutely one of my favorites!“
“OVERALL: The place serves fresh Sushi fish. You can put together your own bowl or choose from signature bowls.PRICE: Very reasonable for fresh Sushi grade fish.FOOD: Plenty of choices to add to your bowl. You can even do half and half. Portion sizes are good and selection is fresh!IS IT CLEAN? Place is clean and well kept.Allergies: The menu has marking for GF options and they have a vegan dessert.“
“The atmosphere for New Year's Eve was lively and loud to be sure. Entering through a back door into a narrow space was odd and not the most welcoming set-up, especially having parked on the street along Milwaukee Ave. The dining area was comfortable, aside from a couple guests who were loud and could be heard from several tables away. Service was good and pleasant though robotic and somewhat forced. The gentleman refilling water was superb and always on his game! We never had less than half a glass full---much appreciated! We came to Chrissoulas, having read excellent reviews. The food was good, including the pasta with chorizo and octopus and gyro. The pork medallions were only three, however, with a whole lot of salad, leaving one guest in our party inadequately full and value for the money poor. Menu options were overpriced in general though not outrageous. Two televisions playing sports over the bar did not seem in keeping with a fine dining establishment, but rather with a sports bar. Overall Chrissoulas was a decent experience with good food but not deserving of the amazing reviews seen elsewhere---a solid 3-4 stars out of 5.“
“I came here for my moms birthday, and I have no regrets. The food was very delightful and tasty. I had their truffle cheese stuffed ravioli, and it was amazing. I'm very excited to see what else they have to offer.The waiter helping us was of very kind by suggesting my mom a wine without much history with wine. She is a people pleaser and admitted she wasn't the biggest fan, but the ability to offer one's experience to assist was great nonetheless.“
“Wonderful atmosphere and the our food was prepared by a real chef, something we have been unable to find of late.Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, checking often to insure a pleasant dining experience.It is pricey but worth it. We will be back.“
“Our family of 4 , 2 adults and 2 young children went for lunch, and we all loved it !!! The service was fantastic, and our server was excellent ! The food was fresh , very tasty and presented very well. I think we were all actually suprised just how much we liked it , it was that good!!!. The salad was one of the best I've ever had , and they offer small and large options for them which is great. The soup was so flavorful and filled with chicken. My husbands wrap was delicious, and the fries were very good as well. We decided to try there banana bread pudding to go and we enjoyed it very much even after warming it up later!! It was a great experience that left us talking about what we will order next time. This is a great spot and we hope it's here to stay !!Kid-friendliness: They offer free kids meals on Tuesdays with the purchase of an adult meal ! Good kid menu , very good price point especially considering the portion size ! They had a little Easter photo op spot as well!“
“I have tried to order birria tacos in the past when visiting on a Friday. I was told it's served only on the weekend. To them this means Saturday and Sunday.We visited on Saturday and ordered 3 birria tacos. I got a plate woth 3 tacos on it but no consomme. I asked at the counter. The young woman walked in the kitchen. There was a hushed conversation and she eventually returned with a little bit of consomme in a styro cup. One of the other women came up and told me "We don't usually give the consomme with the birria tacos. We'll make a special exception this time."I have ordered birria all over this country. LosAngeles, Dallas, Houston, most recently in Franklin, KY. It has always been served with consomme. I've never had to ask for it. I am put off by this. El Rey del Pollo Asado makes good tacos, burritos, and charo beans and I'll be back for them. But is there really any reason to order birria if you have to beg for the consomme? I brought this up to a couple of my Mexican colleagues while we were at lunch and they confirmed what I felt. You order birria. You get consomme.“
“Great service the moment we stepped in.They were so kind and welcoming.The brisket was so tender and juicy. The sauce i used ( they have 5-6 house made sauces) the sweet and spicy sauce, which paired perfectly. Tiny tiny kick with the nice tangy sweetness.I also tried their ribs, which were just melting in the mouth.“
“This was our first time here. Decided to give it a try because the reviews were good.This was absolutely delicious. I am not a big fan of egg rolls but theirs was good. Dip it in the hot mustard if want to clear your sinus.It is small inside but it is worth it to get the service of the staff so pleasant.There were alot of carry out orders.“
“We were very pleased with our recent dining experience. Celebrating a birthday (belatedly). We sat in the bar/lounge area by choice since my fiance and I love the cozy atmosphere. We really enjoyed our meal and received attentive service by our server and the supporting staff. We've never been disappointed when visiting this restaurant and this time was just as enjoyable as in times past.“
“Came here with my dateService was really nice, food was absolutley super freshI was not sure how many food to orderEnd up a lot of food to pack for next day LunchSpicy birria ramen was spicy and tasty ramen ever hadAnd again was huge amount i can not even finish half. Since we ordered sushi and maki roll as wellRaging Bull roll was my choice and it was bombAnd my date picked salmon lover rollWhich was fresh but i like my raging bull betterHouse Fried rice you must orden if you share the meal“
“Friday nite and they were packed! I tried to sit at the bar but it was full up, so I waited for a table. Since it was so busy the food did take a while to come out and our server couldn't make it by for refills.I wasn't too bothered by it because the live music was outstanding! Totally made the experience!“
