“Tasty food and this guy is so nice!! The soup is so so good. And the Jerusalem salad. Love the canned juices in the cooler! Huge cans of 100% juice in flavors we can't get elsewhere like passion fruit & watermelon. Generous portions, casual atmosphere. Appreciate the padding on the chairs. It's a relaxing place to eat. My family says the food is "amazing" "pita and hummus and shawarma are quite good.". We'll be back.“

“We were visiting from out of town and were fortunate to find this lovely place to have a Mother's Day breakfast. The food was phenomenal as was the service. They were very busy but you would have never known it by the attentiveness and smiles from the staff. The flower they gave to all of the moms was a beautiful touch. I am a little sad I didn't go back before we left to bring food home with us. We will definitely be back the next time we visit the area and I will have a cooler ready to take some of the delicious food back with us. Thank you for making Mother's day so special!!“

“Must-Read-Review!
If you're a fan of flavorful and aromatic dishes, the Hyderabadi Biryani is a must-try. From the first bite, you'll be transported to a world of rich, vibrant spices and tender, perfectly cooked meat. This biryani boasts a harmonious blend of saffron, cardamom, and cloves, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. The rice is fragrant and fluffy, with each grain perfectly separated and infused with the savory depth of the biryani's spices. The garnish of fried onions and fresh coriander adds an extra layer of texture and freshness. Served with a cooling raita or a tangy salan, this biryani is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. Every aspect of this dish is executed with precision and passion, making it a true five-star experience.“

“Food Review: Robin Hood – Gurnee, IL

Nestled in the heart of Gurnee, Robin Hood may not yet be the most buzzed-about spot online—but what it might lack in web presence, it surely makes up for in character and service. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt like a well-loved local gem: warm lighting, congenial chatter, and a sense of community that’s rare to find.

But what truly made the evening shine was our server, Brianna. Attentive without hovering, she struck that rare balance of offering recommendations, anticipating refills, and knowing when to leave us to enjoy our meal. Her genuine warmth set the tone for the whole evening.

Brianna checked in at just the right times, with a refreshing sincerity—you could tell she cared. When I asked about a dish’s preparation, her response was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, as if she’d be excited for you to try it too.

In short: Robin Hood in Gurnee might be easy to overlook online, but it’s a place where thoughtful service meets solid, satisfying food. If Brianna’s energy is any indication, this is the kind of “hidden favorite” that deserves more recognition“
