“This place is a total gem. The servers are always friendly, food comes out fast, fresh, and delicious, and the pricing is reasonable. We're lucky to have them in the area!”

“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!”

“We had a great experience! Walking in, the cleanliness was something I noticed. I must say, they did a great job with the cleanliness of the place! I also liked the design of the store! The staff were also kind and helpful. We ordered a half dozen donuts, a medium iced coffee, and a Wake-Up Wrap. The donuts were overall great! It's an average but great donut. The coffee was great too! We ordered a medium iced coffee with cream and a caramel swirl, and the coffee was made right to the order! It's a dependable and great coffee. And for the Wake-Up, they're still good, but I wouldn't put them above other breakfast items from places. However, the addition of wireless charging pads on the tablet was a very nice touch! The design is the average modern Dunkin', it's modern, clean, and colorful. Overall, if you're looking for a great chain breakfast place in the area, I recommend this place!”

“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 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!”

“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.”

“This is my go to lunch spot. Great food, service and pricing!”

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

Pork loin, ravioli and naan nini 6 beverages appetizers and desserts. Attention to details and her palate of flavors is spot on.”

“⭐ CM Chicken – Vernon Hills Review

CM Chicken in Vernon Hills delivers excellent Korean cuisine with a prime location and a great environment. The food comes out fresh and flavorful, and the boba tea is surprisingly good, making it a perfect pairing with their crispy chicken.

The only downside is that the bill arrives a bit too quickly, making the experience feel slightly rushed at the end. Still, the overall quality and vibe make it a solid spot !”

“I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! They went above and beyond to take care of my veteran fiancé for Veterans Day, (even though we were a day late in being able to visit), taking care of us like family, from the regional director to all the restaurant staff. The food was terrific and my fiancé loved everything; the food, the staff, and the military/first responders decor, and the respect given to veterans. They even put his picture from his Army service days on their wall, which gave him a huge smile when he saw himself displayed on their wall along with photos of so many other veterans. And even though we don't live nearby, we will make it a point to visit them every time we get the chance to. Thanks again to everyone there!!”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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! 🫡”

“We were a large party of 6 adults and 4 kids on an early Saturday evening. We didn’t have a reservation and called ahead when we were half an hour away. They had a large table set up by the time we arrived. Everything we ordered was wonderful. We would definitely come back again.”

“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!!!!!”

“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.”

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

“My wife and I stopped in at the Lake Zurich location this past Saturday, 1/11. We definitely loved the beer and the establishment. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They also had a great wood fire pizza food truck. I highly recommend Phase 3. We will definitely stop back in..”

“Amazing service ! Bar tender Jimmy was absolutely great. My boyfriend and I stopped by for a quick drink and soup before the movies and had a Good time thanks to him!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tony’s Butcher Shop is an absolute gem in Grayslake. The quality of the meats here is outstanding. It is truly miles better than anything you will find at a grocery store or warehouse club, and the prices are very reasonable for the level of quality you are getting. Every cut is fresh, well prepared, and clearly sourced with care. You can genuinely taste the difference. What really sets Tony’s apart is the service. The team consistently goes the extra mile by offering recommendations, custom cuts, and cooking tips, and by making you feel valued as a customer. It is clear they take pride in their work and in serving the community. Having a good old fashioned neighborhood butcher shop like this is a special treat. Tony’s Butcher Shop truly values its customers and the Grayslake community, and we are lucky to have it. If you care about quality, great service, and supporting a local business, this place is a must visit. 🥩”
