“Bluegrass Restaurant is a wonderful, family-owned restaurant. We have been ordering takeout and eating in since we came to Highland Park three years ago. The owners take pride in managing the restaurant on a daily basis. They prioritize customer service, great food, and a warm, welcoming experience. Last night, they hosted the Highland Park/Highwood Professional Moms group. We had only expected 15 women to attend, but 25 women ended up coming. The owners and the staff were AMAZING. They brought over additional chairs. They provided us with top-notch service, including separate checks. They respected us when we were speaking to the group and quietly took orders in the background. I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant.“

My boys like the mushroom and California rolls sushi while I enjoyed the spicy hot fish poke bowl a lot. The staff and owner were super friendly and nice. The place was stylish, neat and clean. The sashimi was fresh and delicious! The food was served fast and the price was reasonable too. We are definitely coming back!“

“Popped into here yesterday with my son before making our way to the NW vs Nebraska women’s vball game and they were so busy they couldn’t take any walk ins. As we completely understood, we opted to just order food to go. While we waited for our food, the staff were so kind and accommodating. To the point they managed to fit us at a table so we could quickly eat our meal before the game. Despite how insanely busy it was due to the fans eating before the match, the entire staff remained calm, patient and kind. Personally, that goes such a long way. Plus the food was amazing so it was a win win. Would absolutely eat here again.“

“This pizza is so good! I wish they were open more often“

It was the best food, for a very decent price, that we have had in a long time!“

“One of the most beautiful meals I have had in a long time. Stunning presentation, thoughtful bite construction, fresh ingredients, and well cultivated flavors. The service was incredibly attentive. Warm and inviting ambience. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Have been here several times for their chai latte which, my opinion, is fantastic. I’ve also had their bagel melt with a turkey sausage and it was great. It came with a side of chips. Very close to the chicago botanical garden and prices are good. Really nice atmosphere, kind of like a bistro. Fun place to go to, and the people are great.“

“Good 👍 food yummy 😋 good Customer service“

“Delicious turtle split 😋 open late till 11pm week days 11:30 pm weekends. Very friendly fast service! thank you Andy's for a terrific experience“

“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 ordered the double cheeseburger and it was super tasty. The meat didn’t fall apart like in some places and it was just flavorful all around. There was more bun than burger but it was still good. The fairies were awesome too! And so was the spicy corn. I got the chicken wings to go. Personally, I’d like a little more seasoning on them but overall they were good too. The strawberry refresher was so nice to wash everything down. The cashier is an absolute sweetheart and the restaurant was kind of quiet but still. I’ve. Can’t wait to go back!“

“We picked Maevery last minute for our son's navy graduation dinner and it didn't dissapoint. They accommodated a last minute reservation and put us in a corner great table for easy catching up. Service was great (which we didn't experience in multiple fine dining restaurants downtown) and food was yummy and a good selection. .. they had awesome recommendations and treated us wonderfully! Didn't rush us and from 5-6pm we nearly had the place to ourselves before the dinner rush! Highly recommended by this out of town visiting family! Thank You (from Southern CA) We will be back if we are in Chicago again!“

“Im in town visiting family. I love this place! Im originally from around here. I miss the city and walking everywhere. I live in an area i can't walk to shops. Loved walking and spending time at Khepri. Been here 2x this week. I ordered the panang chicken and new banana latte with cold foam to go. Service was amazing and such friendly staff. The latte was so good, sweet. I hope the barista was right when i asked if this banana latte will be a regular on the menu. The small bites chicken dish was just the right size to hold me till later today for dinner. Thank you for the yummy latte and delicious tasting panang chicken. I will definitely be coming back next time I visit.“

“Picked up a few of the Best Bagels in the Chicago area!!“

“Quiet hole in the wall spot with some of the best food in the area. The owner is kind and works really hard to make quality food. A lot of Chinese American restaurants can have a sort of mass produced feel and use the same suppliers but you can tell a lot of love and pride goes into the food here.“

“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“

“perfect foods...great decorations.. nice price...“

“This is a great spot for quick and convenient sushi takeout. While there isn’t indoor seating, the quality of the food makes it well worth the visit. The sushi is always fresh, flavorful, and prepared quickly, making it perfect for grabbing lunch or dinner on the go.“

“I went to this location. The staff was friendly when I walked in. Also, I tried the dirty soda when they were having a free promotion and they were a good refreshing drink if you need a pickup in the afternoon. Come check out this location in a big shopping center with lots of other stores.“

“Always great entertainment and food!!!“

“Son graduated from Navy Boot camp and the owner thanked him for his service and our meals were on him my wife cried that really made me proud to have a sailor as my son!! We will visit regardless now!!! Great!!! Staff awesome!! Thank you again!“

“Yummy froyo with yummy toppings 😘“

“Great place to get dinner for the family.“

“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!!“

“WOW WOW WOW !!! AMAZING cookies and so beautiful too“
