“That Little French Guy makes us happy every time we head that way. The Champs de Élysées doesn’t have better! It’s being back in Paris, every unique French delight. Thank you for our favorite place to visit often.“

“How crazy is this. Going to Sunset Foods I saw this sign in the window of a storefront to the West. Fortunately I found BRIGHT BOWLS owned and operated by a Highland Parker named Lindsay. I can’t describe the ambiance and wonderful products. You need to experience on your own. My favorite so far is the LoveABowl. Enjoy on site or to go. Get Bright Butter, Bright Granola and Bright Smiles. Tell the staff Larry sent you. Hmmmm“

“Mizrahi humus, where have you been all my life? I just had the lucky opportunity to try you for the first time. And now I can never eat any other hummus. This is beyond my favorite. Cannot recommend it enough!“

“We decided to give this place a try on a whim, and I’m so glad we did! 😍 The hot pastrami and hot corned beef were absolutely delicious, flavorful, and served fresh. 🥪🔥 The service was also excellent and very friendly, despite some of the complaints we had heard. The bagel slices were fantastic too! 🥯✨ Everything was so good, and we’ll definitely be coming back again! Highly recommend! 🙌😋“

We were able to try these at work, thanks to the absolutely wonderful donation of their products to help share with the community on Friday’s and for this we are so grateful and want to wish you good luck because the taste is wonderful!“

“this little bake shop is quite a gem , just off the Metra UP North line. the Canadian bacon, egg and cheese danish is a buttery delight. highly recommend“

“My palette’s lack of sophistication prevents me from doing justice reviewing the menu items I enjoyed, but my belly is satisfied , and there were no leftovers; however, no matter the exquisite culinary notes I, likely, missed that a more refined pallet might’ve identified, there’s no way there was anything on a plate in the Chicago land area this evening that matched the atmosphere, service, and proud history shared by the staff and current owner, a descendant of the original owners who established the restaurant 123 years ago. A truly delightful experience that I intend to repeat as often as I’m able!“

“The kitchen is not operational on Sunday, so if you want to see it staffed come during the week. We made Carmel/Chocolate coated apples, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered Oreo cookies, and mixed the ingredients to make a chocolate bar. All is included with your tour purchase. The prices for any other chocolate or candies you purchase was better than most bigger name stores. This is a small shop but their quality is very good!“

“Hi, I’m trying to contact you since one week on FB Messenger and IG. Could you please check my message ? It’s related to franchises. Best. Simon C.“

“One of the best burgers I have had in the area, perfectly cooked, soaking wet, and full of flavor. Good prices and great atmosphere if you sit outside, although the interior is very load and feels like a sports-bar, which I’m pretty sure is the intention.“

“We drove from Genoa City Wisconsin because we heard how delicious everything was. We were NOT disappointed. The meat on our sandwiches, one corned beef and one pastrami, was piled high! Homemade brined pickles and bakery items exceeded our expectations. Worth the drive and we will be back.“

“It is so refreshing to meet an owner who is actively present in his restaurant. Mark Salmon enthusiastically and creatively arranged for my friend and I to dine outside (our request), despite the rain. We stayed dry under umbrellas and thanks to Sandra, our amazing waitress, we celebrated my birthday with fine food (impressive menu choices and food presentation) and great company! It was my first time dining at 501 Local and this restaurant met and exceeded my high standards in every way! It is a hidden gem and our new fav restaurant. Highly recommend!!“

“We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the Lake Forest location when we were in town for our daughter's U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command graduation. By far the best place we ate when we were in the Chicagoland area. I gave it a nod in my book and encourage anyone visiting Great Lakes to stop there with their sailor during liberty.“

“Excellent Ramen. Excellent bartender in Helen Try the Mango Tango Vegi Roll.“

“I can't say enough about my whole experience with the staff, accommodations and food!! I must have called 6 times changing the number of people and requesting a round table and they were so patient and accommodating. I'm sorry I don't remember the names I spoke with on the phone but they were wonderful. Our server Miguel was great, we wanted for nothing and the room we were in was outstanding. We all had an excellent time I could not have been happier!!“

“An absolute North Shore institution and a total treasure in Highwood! Everything here is stunning and delicious. The fresh fruit tarts, passion fruit mousse cake, and eclairs look like works of art and taste incredible. They also serve fantastic quiches and savory pastries if you're stopping by for lunch.
Tony and the team provide such warm, friendly service that makes you feel right at home. Perfect spot to grab a dessert for a special occasion or pick up a signature white box of sweet treats for the weekend!“

“Great place! Great price! Best place to come in a city :)“

“Huge thank you to Cindy! My baby was sleeping in the car and I didn’t want to wake her. I paid over the phone and cindy ran it out to my car. Great service!“

“Atmosphere was ok. Bit smaller than i was expecting and a bit of a hole in the wall. But clean with nice wall art. We came at 11:30 and it was not crowded. Got busy at noon. I saw the specials online. They were not on their handout menu so you may have to ask for them. The short rib wrap was delicious. Loaded tator tots were too intriguing to pass up. Generous portion enough for three or four. Delightfully cheesy . Like nachos but with tots instead of chips. Burger was greasy but otherwise fine. Sweet potatoe fries looked dark, like the oil needed cleaning but tasted fine. Service was fast and friendly. Unique choices. Try it.“

“I had the German pancake and with 100% recommend if you don't want a lot then order the baby Dutch you won't regret it. I asked for strawberries with mine.“

“The best restaurant in chicago!! Bravo!! 👌“

“Everything on the menu is phenomenal!“

“Finally tried The Claim Company in Northbrook last night and omg… that Motherlode burger is no joke 🤤🍔. Juicy, messy, and absolutely worth it. Fries were crispy perfection too. Such a fun, laid-back spot to hang out with friends. Totally coming back! 🙌✨“

“For over 20 years, Lana’s Dazzling Desserts has been our go-to place for every special occasion and it never disappoints!

Lana is incredibly creative and flexible, always ready to bring any idea to life and create the most beautiful, delicious, and unique cake designs.
