“great wings and great people”

“Super delicious food, I totally forgot this place was right by me! It's good to know because the sushi was delicious. The crab rangoons are amazing, I wish they were bigger because the flavor was amazing! Everyone was so nice here. The lovely older staff helped us out by lending us a lighter to light my friends birthday candles and then the lovely older lady took our photos. Overall, great vibes! Will be back.”

“We accidentally picked up the wrong order and the two that were working that night really were so kind and remade mine and the other girls order fast without any problems! Thank you Doug and the girl that were working that night!”

“Friendly staff and fast service. Gotta love that!”

“Went through drive thru and I took off too soon and forgot part of my order and came next day with receipt and explained my mistake and they fixed it for me. Wonderful and understanding people. Good customer service”

“Had a great experience at CM Chicken! The service was outstanding. The menu has SO MANY options, which could be overwhelming, but the staff was super helpful and patient while we figured it all out. I went with the chicken sandwich, which was fresh, juicy, and exactly what I was hoping for. My wife got the cheese curds, and they were clearly hand-breaded with an amazing cheese pull (always the test, right? LOL). A little on the pricier side, but honestly worth it for the quality and experience. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Clean Friendly Cocktails Atmosphere Delicious From start to finish it was fantastic! ALL OF IT! Even had the right music selection. 3 of us and we were all so happy with our meals. Pork loin, ravioli and naan nini 6 beverages appetizers and desserts. Attention to details and her palate of flavors is spot on.”

“Wonderful to work with Jay to support BMS girls lacrosse. Donated 40 tacos for pre-game meal!”

“I took my boys here on a Saturday at around 4:30 after a trip to the Volo museum. We were immediately greeted by a friendly, knowledgeable and attentive waitress. The appetizer plate had the best onion rings and these creamy smoky bacon Gouda Mac n cheese bites that were to die for! Pan pizza came out as a deep dish and my teenager loved it. My oldest and I got the rib and broasted chicken combo…. OMG No regrets! The chicken was seasoned well with a delicious, crispy, light breading and the ribs were fall off the bone scrumptious with a perfect smoky/sweet bbq sauce. Do NOT skip the peach cobbler!! The warm, crispy peaches and streusel topping tasted like it was made with love. What a great place and we absolutely love our server. She was engaging and knew the menu. Will definitely return!”

“The food is incredible. The employees are always on their game. The space is clean and pleasant. Check out this little gem if you are looking to try somewhere new.”

“Hidden in plain sight in Lake Villa, this Italian restaurant is the kind of unassuming neighborhood gem critics quietly root for. It isn’t flashy, it isn’t loud, and it doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is: a place that consistently serves excellent food at fair prices. In the Lakes region—where Italian options can feel uneven—this spot rises confidently to the top. On my most recent visit, I was seated immediately at a corner table, a small but meaningful luxury in an age of hour-long waits. The dining room, typically hushed enough for actual conversation, again delivered one of its underrated pleasures: a peaceful meal without the intrusive din that plagues so many suburban restaurants. Service followed suit—friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to help, never hovering or rushing. The kitchen remains the star. My spaghetti with vodka sauce was outstanding—rich, balanced, and among the best renditions I’ve had anywhere in the region. Other entrées at the table echoed the same strengths: sauces with clarity and depth, pastas cooked with confident restraint, portions generous without tipping into excess. Cocktails, too, arrived promptly and properly mixed, further reinforcing the sense of a kitchen-and-bar team that takes pride in their craft. If there is a shortfall, it lies in the ambiance. The room carries a certain charm, but the décor feels a step behind the quality of the food. A refresh of tables, finishes, and overall presentation would elevate the experience from very good to genuinely special. The warmth is there—the aesthetics simply haven’t caught up yet. Even so, the value proposition is undeniable. For reliably excellent Italian cuisine, low noise, easy seating, earnest service, and honest pricing, this restaurant more than earns its “highly recommended” status. It is, in every meaningful way, Lake Villa’s little culinary treasure.”

“I was the lucky one to win a red envelope from BBQ Productions & Station 51 Truck Co Bar & Grill. Jeff was amazing & extremely helpful! I freakin love my Louisana Founder Series Smoker! Thank you!!!!!”

“I’m embarrassed to say I just ate at Shawarma King #1 for the first time. It was absolutely delicious! The staff were very friendly and the food was outstanding. So much flavor!”

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.”

“Very straight forward place with cute charm. It was delicious! The service was quick and since it's an open concept kitchen it looked clean. We had great service and we left with leftovers.”

“The VERY BEST fried chicken I've EVER had. The corn fritters were like candy! And dont pass up the garlic mashed potatoes!! Dirty rice too? ON POINT!!”

“The sweetest team/family, the best cannolis and focaccia bread I’ve ever had 🫶”

“Omg! Let’s just start with the service. They were helpful, quick, efficient. We had a large order but they sure delivered. From the friendly welcome, helpful hands getting the order to the car, to the FULL bellies and amazing food! This place did not disappoint. The wings, the fries, the Philly! All of it was amazing.”

“Modern decor, great service, excellent meal. Nice couples place. Not sure what to get? Our server gave us great recommendations. Will be back.”

“Where do I even begin? The pita? Perfect texture and taste. The cherry tomatoes? Obviously fresh, juicy, and sourced from a great farm. The romain? Plentiful and CRISP. The Dill and Taziki sauce? Also VERY fresh, has a citrus kick somewhere, and seems to be made fresh as well. Because it doesn't taste like a store bought sauce filled with preservatives. The hummus? That might actually be where the citrus is from. However, the hummus is not overly salty! You can actually taste the Chickpeas and they use good ingredients as well as olive oil for the hummus too! The chicken? Is in NO way shape or form dry and it's actually seasoned! It's juicy and normal is it overcooked. The olives? Brothers and sisters I HATE olives by themselves, rarely on certain foods. But these olives are not overpowering and stealing the flavor profile, it just adds more depth to the flavor bomb of the Greek chicken Pita! The feta? What could be bettah? Seriously though if you can see this picture you should've seen that they don't skip on the feta either. Again the flavor is ALL the way there but not overpowering. While the texture is almost creamy. Probably with assistance from the sauce but still, it's not overly dry! 10/10 Would recommend & I will be back! Now the facility was spotless, the cleanest "fast food" I've ever seen. The staff? Phenomenonal, personable, kind, attentive to details, and downright superstars that make that place run like clockwork! Wooooo wo weeeee wo!!! If you haven't been here then you've got to go!! Moderate prices, exceptional ingredients, lovely staff, and clean facilities(where the staff actually care like the NW Expressway location in OKC). I'm out, ty for listening to my Ted talk! 🫡”

“One of my favorites!Always amazing. Beef Shwarma plate is my favorite.”

“When we went to this place, they were about to close but still took us in. The service was amazing, everyone was friendly and the food was soooooo good. We ordered the bulgogi and Japchae etc. And the Japchae was chef’s kiss. The bulgogi was served raw so you can put it on a stove and when it came out…IT WAS SO GOOD. I have no complain and I DEFINITELY will be coming back!”

“Delicious coffee with a wide variety of choices. My wife and I got an Oreo ice coffee and an iced honey latte. We will definitely be going back.”

“Stopped in after golf. Great atmosphere, fantastic service and excellent food. Hope to come back when in the neighborhood!”

“Delicious house-made salsas - some with a great kick if you’re up for it. Lovely people.”

“I’ve been to Burt’s Deli several times in the past 10 years. Every time is the same time. That’s the magic of Burt’s, you know what to expect. It is a small place filled with all the sights and sounds of an authentic city deli tucked away at the end of a large shopping center in Libertyville. The food is magnificent, very tasty, and plentiful. Whats my favorite order? Of course, it’s the Yummi! You cannot go wrong with that one.”

“Mixto has the greatest staff. They are accommodating and friendly. I've had breakfast and lunch there and it's always been tasty and well presented. This place is a hidden gem. Once you go you will definitely return.”

“I met a group of friends here for breakfast and was very pleased with the food and service. This is a small family owned businesses that is celebrating thier 45th anniversary. Let that sink in ... This family has been serving the community for 45 years. Felisha was our server. She was kind and friendly, provided excellent service, miraculously she remembered everyone's name at our table, lol, and even had a few good jokes up her sleeve. Thank you for the great service, Felisha! My compliments to the chef for cooking my poached eggs perfectly just the way I ordered them. And the hash potatoes were honestly some of the best I've had. 5 STARS across the board.”

“Where do I begin? Welcoming atmosphere, clean restaurant, and attentive service. I'm not a margarita fan, but I thoroughly enjoy my strawberry margarita and would enjoy again! My fiancé ordered salsa and chips for an appetizer and we were both happily surprised with the fresh chips and tasty green salsa! After enjoying our appetizer we both ordered their three taco dinner special for taco Tuesday. My fiancé order steak tacos and I ordered a combination of chicken tinga, chorizo, and their house special campechano. Everything was amazing!!! My fiancé enjoys the spicier salsas and was offered a habenero red salsa. We sampled all three that was received and have nothing but good things to say about them all. Thank you for an amazing dinning experience tonight, can't wait to come back and enjoy a new dish in the near future! ☺️🌮🌯”
