50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Hanover Park

“My partner and I had a really great time here. He got the nacho scramble and I got the cowboy skillet minus the mushrooms. I upgraded to the stuffed French toast for my side. It’s very filling, and above all else, seasoned to PERFECTION!! I’ve never been to a breakfast place before that seasons their food this well. For two people with only water, it was $40 which I think is really reasonable especially with the French toast upgrade.

“A Truly Unforgettable Birthday Celebration at Medieval Times Schaumburg!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars)

I recently hosted a birthday celebration at Medieval Times Schaumburg, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment we walked in, we were transported to another world—a medieval kingdom filled with knights, royalty, and excitement. This was the perfect venue for a group birthday celebration, and here’s why:

Immersive Experience

The atmosphere at Medieval Times is truly immersive. The castle entrance, the banners, the sounds of trumpets—it all makes you feel like you’re stepping into a living, breathing medieval story. We were greeted by the knights and staff as we entered, setting the stage for an epic evening. Even the décor and costumes added to the authenticity, making it easy to forget you were in suburban Schaumburg and not in a faraway kingdom.

Amazing Group Dining

The four-course feast was one of the highlights of the night! It’s served without silverware (a fun, authentic touch) and features hearty, delicious dishes like roast chicken, BBQ ribs, potato wedges, and corn on the cob. The food was fantastic and more than enough to satisfy even the biggest appetites. Everyone at our table had a great time sharing the experience, laughing, and enjoying the meal together.

It was especially fun to dig into our meal while watching the action unfold right in front of us. Everyone was so engaged, cheering on our knight (we were on the Red team!) and getting caught up in the excitement of the jousting and sword fighting. The food was served promptly, and there was plenty of time to savor it while soaking in the show.

Thrilling Show and Spectacular Entertainment

The show itself is a thrilling combination of jousting, sword fights, and medieval drama. Our group was on the edge of our seats the entire time—cheering, gasping, and even groaning at the tense moments. It’s a high-energy, action-packed performance that’s perfect for a group to enjoy together, especially if you’re looking to get involved. The knights really put on a show, and you could feel the competition in the air.

What made it even better was that the birthday guest of honor was recognized during the show, and they even received a birthday shout-out from the queen and the knights! It was such a fun touch that made the birthday celebration feel extra special. They also received a crown, which was a great keepsake and photo op.

Exceptional Service

The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience. They were friendly, attentive, and really made us feel like we were part of the medieval court. They even brought out a special birthday dessert (apple pie) to the guest of honor, complete with a small celebration. Everyone sang “Happy Birthday,” which made the moment feel even more magical. The entire staff was incredibly professional and made the night run smoothly, which was especially important for a large group.

Perfect for All Ages

One of the best things about Medieval Times is how it caters to all ages. We had kids, teens, and adults in our group, and everyone had a fantastic time. The show is exciting and easy to follow, with enough action and drama to keep even the most easily distracted entertained. Whether you’re young or old, the experience is one that brings people together.

Memories to Last a Lifetime

After the show, we had the opportunity to take photos with the knights and the princess, which was a great!

Overall Verdict

If you’re looking for a birthday experience that’s full of excitement, fun, and unforgettable memories, Medieval Times Schaumburg is the place to go! The combination of immersive entertainment, delicious food, and exceptional service made this one of the best birthday celebrations I“

“This place is unreal -- especially for someone gluten free. I went in knowing zero about Burmese cuisine, but was walked through a series of dishes that have become instant classics that I crave: tofu gyaw, the tea salad, kyarzan thoke, chicken mango, and the goat curry. Do not sleep on this place! The food is fresh and meticulously prepared. The flavors are incredible and the portions filling. The staff are warm and engaging. 10/10 across the board.“

“🚨Szukasz prawdziwej, przepysznej polskiej kuchni? To właśnie tu. Bez względu na to, czy zamawiam flaki (tak, uwielbiam te z Bacówki) czy też schabowego (pani Lidia bije je jak wściekła) proszę o dokładkę. Polecam! 🔥“

“My wife and I enjoyed the Spring menu when we visited Seasons 52, the keyword being 'enjoyed.' It's always a treat to dine at Seasons 52, and this time was no exception. From the Tuna Tartare appetizer, to the entrees of Carmelized Scallops and Shrimp and Grits, to the shot glass-sized Turtle Cheesecake and Oatmeal Cookie desserts, everything was delicious. And Valentyna, our server, did a great job taking care of us. It had been over a year since the last time we visited Seasons 52. We won't wait that long next time.“

“Amazing service with extensive wine listing and delicious menu. Got to try the 7-finger pork chop.“

“So far I’ve eaten at Vasco’s twice with my coworker. The food is delicious. It is perfectly spiced, chicken is cooked to perfection and not dry. The garlic sauce is very tasty. It is very clean. The people working there are extremely nice and helpful. My coworker doesn’t know much about Indian food so she had a lot of questions. They were patient and answered all of the. The owner came to our table both times we were there to ask how things were. It is a place that you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. We are already planning our next visit.“

“Buena comida y buen ambiente fui un día festivo con reserva y espere una hora . Creo deberían tomar reservas teniendo en cuenta que kas personas se quedan más de media o una en la mesa

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Ellyns has awesome food and a very friendly environment. Never had something I didn’t like, and can always find something new on the menu. Great drink menu and specials. Ellyns will always be a go to!“

“Ive been to 2 other Chicago Ramen spots and this had the best service and atmosphere by far.

I tried the king of sea tsukemen. As its own thing it was just ok, not bad, not amazing.

I was really hoping for a fishy pork tsukemen (tonkatsu gyokai?) and what I got wasn't that. I wouldn't order it again and its unfortunate that this location doesn't do their normal menu because I would be back at this convenient location so often for their normal tsukemen. (Or gyokai, but I can dream)

Hopefully they'll move this menu to one of their northern locations where there are more nearby options!“

“delicious vegan options!!“

“The scones are delicious, the tea excellent, the atmosphere is lovely, but what keeps me going back, and bringing others with me, is the front of the house. The genuine warmth, the ready smile, and the easy welcoming conversation offered by this husband and wife duo is a rarity to be celebrated and supported. What a gift, thank you!🥰“

“We were a party of 6 Adults sitting at a round table. We are all coffee drinkers. Our waiter was Attentive and very helpful at answering our various questions about the menu. The food arrived in a timely manner and every said that the Food was delicious.“

“I recently visited a charming Nelikona coffee place in downtown Palatine. The rose 🌹 coffee was delicious. I loved that it was served in gorgeous tea cups, adding a unique touch to the experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for gatherings or meetings. The staff were incredibly friendly, which enhanced the welcoming vibe. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great coffee experience—I’ll definitely be back! 🌹🌹“

“I tracked my order and it stayed on "we are baking your order". It never alerted me it was done, so I went in at the end of the estimated pick up time and it was ready. But it was now, not fresh and hot like I like it. I order from time to time and this was the first time I was not happy with my pizza.“

“Lovely service! Immediately as we walked in, we were greeted with inviting service and a very tidy nice atmosphere! Our service was great! Our waiter was attentive, kind and patient, and our food was delicious, to say the least. Flavorful, fresh ingredients in each bite! I totally recommend going here to try authentic ramen!“

“I had such a fantastic experience at Ethio Beans! If you love bold flavors, rich traditions, and warm hospitality, you need to check this place out. We started with sambussa, which came with a flavorful dipping sauce (I think it was awaze), and it was delicious! For our main meal, we got two veggie combos with injera, misir wot (spiced lentils), alicha wot (mild stew), gomen (collard greens), and cabbage, plus a side of alicha potatoes with carrots. Everything was perfectly seasoned, and the misir wot was my favorite! We nearly finished the whole platter, but what we took home was just as good the next day. One of the best parts of the experience was the Ethiopian coffee, which they served with burning incense—not only did it smell amazing, but it was also the best coffee I’ve ever had. I also ordered Ambo water, and the owner smiled and said, “Ah, you know!” which made me feel like I really knew what I was doing. 😆 They also have a small shop next door full of Ethiopian spices, groceries, and traditional servingware, which was such a cool surprise! If you’re looking for incredible Ethiopian food and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Ethio Beans! Can’t wait to go back—next time, I have to decide if I get the coffee again or try the tea! ☕“

“Beer-battered shrimp tacos, with their special topping, plus we added a slice of avocado, was what we had for dinner tonight. My husband stopped midway through his meal and said this was the BEST TACOS …and guacamole! Thank you Taco Shop!!!“

“Great Vegan menu! The margaritas are wonderful“

“Had dinner last night at Venuti's Banquets & Ristorante wow the food and service was nothing but 5 Stars 🙂“

“As usual, great pizza! Some people, many that I know, say it's better than Giordanos. The crust is thicker and crunchier and the amount of sausage and pepperoni is simply more than Giordanos, but they are both great pizzas! This Schaumburg location is very ample and clean, although a bit outdated in it's decor.“

“The food was absolutely delicious 😋“

“Wow. WOW! Schnitzel sandwich 10/10, Old Fashioned 10/10, Mushroom soup - outstanding, Banana Pie 300/10. Complete surprise. Staff is excellent. Amazing actually. Magnus is a fantastic server and went out of his way to make everything great. The owner checked in and everything was top notch. Do yourself a favor and visit Babcock’s Grove House soon.“

“loved the ENTIRE vibe..I happened to be in the area & Googled coffee shops. I'm so happy I ended up here. Had a London Fog latte, blueberry muffin & avocado bacon toast. My belly was content.“

“The food was delicious! The drinks are fresh and new, and very well balanced. The best part of our experience was the staff! Each member was knowledgeable of the drink and dinner menu and made incredible recommendations. Overall, a wonderful evening out.“

“Always fresh, always delicious. Excellent drinks, even better food“

“great food and great atmosphere. the serve is hit or miss. mostly get great servers, but this one female server we had last night on May 4th, 2024, she was ride and short (as in didn't want to be social.. cold attitude. didn't even say Happy Birthday to my parents when we told the server we are here to celebrate their birthdays. the female server was such a k.u.n.t and had the audacity to say, "OKAY." really?? just an.. okay??! bad attitude. THANK GOD she had to leave early and another waiter took her place! he was so pleasant and we actually had him a year ago! it was nice. so pleasant and gave my oarents a special dessert and candle. if we were stuck with that female waitress, she'd probably purposely do something awful, th way her personality was.“

“Excellent , 💯 % recommended“

“Good ambiance! Good service! Great tasting quality food! Celebrated my birthday there night of December 15th, 14 of us ‘everyone had a Great time’! What stood out most was the warm hospitality and attention given to All. Definitely a night too remember! Thank you.“

“Tonight I decided to venture out and try this restaurant my family has been RAVING about called Al’s Cafe in Downtown Elgin! I sat upstairs and had this lovely server named Marcie! She recommended the monthly special called “Moonstruck” and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The ambience, service and food is unmatched! If you are looking for a great night out I highly recommend Al’s Cafe!“

“If you are looking for a real Italian pizza this is a place you have to go!“

“Had the pleasure of being served by John. He made us feel welcome, was a kid friendly server and overall did a great job. Thanks so much John for your attentive service tonight.“

“After a week of travel for this Mom, the last thing I wanted to do was to make dinner. This isn't the first time we've been to Glen Prairie and I knew it was just the place I wanted to go. The atmosphere is warm, but quiet. Perfect for a good family catchup. The food is comforting without being too heavy and the wine, beer and cocktail selection is the perfect pairing. We've had the pleasure of being served by Anna a few times now and she does a great job. She is attentive and watchful, without being overbearing which is a difficult skill to master for a lot of servers. Aside from that, I love that it is a safe place for folks with food allergies and I feel very well taken care of in respect to that issue. I can tell that everyone from the hosts to the servers to the bartenders to the kitchen staff are very well trained in creating a safe and welcoming experience for each guest. Glen Prairie is quickly becoming one of our go to family favorite restaurants and we will definitely be back!“

“This is such a cute spot first of all second it's in a house which was awesome super cute loved the outside the inside was adorable their food was delicious I had a steak skillet and a steak omelette both delicious definitely recommend this place if your in the area!

Parking was good too didn't have any issues there overall 10/10 check this place out you will not be disappointed“

“Its a great place if you are looking for great tacos that is no nonsense. Place is inside the little Mexican grocery store and has three tables, doesn't look the prettiest but it is a great place. Reminds me of great taco joints in Cd. Juarez. Prices were great too. Food was made fresh because when I got my tacos and they were so hot I couldn't hold them long. Chicken tacos were excellent. Easily coming back here.“

“Very good food, will come back many many times!!!“

“Service is excellent and warm. Food is outstanding and delicious. Highly recommend to anyone who has a taste for authentic home made Italian cuisine! We’ll be back!“

“What a wonderful and tasty experience. The drinks, food and desserts were excellent. Thanks to the chef and to the servers for such a friendly customer service. We'll be back!“

“Everything I’ve had from here has been delicious! Highly recommend!“

“If you’re looking for great Nigerian food, then Bisi is the place to be. Great flavors. Great vibes. Great hospitality. You will not be disappointed. I love love love Bisi Nigerian Restaurant.“

“If you don’t know yet, Lombard has got it going on! And GL105 is an outstanding example of this quaint suburb. Expect high quality and comfortable casual dining; perfect place to meet up with friends.

The bartender knows how to mix and they have great taste in wines. Their creative menu will please a variety of tastes with tender smoked meats, tasty Asian dishes and other savory feasts. We hit up the short rib stroganoff, chicken fried rice bowl and pressed short ribs. Every bite was delicious (maybe the mashed potatoes weren’t quite at the same level.)

Hosts were a little stiff but the rest of the staff was very committed to making sure we had a great time and we did!“

“It taste the best 🍱🍚🦐😋 recommended even if I have to drive 25 minutes 😁“

“The scratch food is AMAZING! We had Rachel as our server, and was delighted! She's responsive and friendly. And their whole staff was a well oiled machine! And, great wine!“

“I love getting my morning coffee from Elder + Oat a few times a week. It is a little bit of a haul from my house but totally worth it. Have usually get their monthly seasonal cold brew I have never disliked it. Nicole is the sweetest barista! I highly recommend this cute coffee shop!“
