“Best Mexican food you’ll love this place great service and super clean environment“

“Food choices were good. Food was hot and very good. Service was good and prompt.

Need to change some of the TV to other games. A sports bar usually shows more than 1 game on the TV's especially when 2 series ending baseball games are in progress.“

“Great. Asked for no oil or minimum oil, and they did it. Lots of flavor. Thanks.“

“We came tonight for the first time for my husband’s birthday. Food was so good. Service was excellent! The cook even came out to ask us how our food was. We will be back!“

“Wonderful service and food! Eric, the manager, is excellent checking in with diners and ensuring they have everything they need.“

“First time there. It’s a 30 minute drive, but we plan to go back. Best ingredients done to perfection. We have loved Lou Malnati’s , but this is equal to if not better. Our family agreed. They drove 1 1/2 hours and said they would come back“

“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!“

“Once you eat here, you will not want to eat anywhere else.“

“Best sushi ever, great hospitality, I recommend the Salmon Sunset. I can never get sushi anywhere else, this place is a hidden gem!! 10/10“

“This place is wonderful! It’s brand new and fun for hours! The 3 and under area is a great addition for the younger ones. The decor is pleasing to the eye and not decorated in bright harsh colors like most kids places! There’s plenty of seating options for adults too. The cafe has a lot of options as well. Re-entry is allowed so it was perfect to go take a little break and come back later. I highly recommend it!“

“Great pizza. The management came out of the back to show me the pizza cause he was concerned it was to over done. So he was so kind and deliver another pizza. Great management and most of all Great pizza. 5 stars. Great experince. Thank you.“

“HANDS DOWN! YOU WIN! Best cinnamon rolls EVER!“

“Delicious pizza, loved the thin crust! Meatballs are so delish!! I will go back again and again! Highly recommended.“

“Great place for breakfast“

“Definitely worth the few extra minutes driving up here from Round Lake. I showed up on Thursday to find out they’ve got an all you can eat taco special 👀 I gotta roll myself out to my car after this. Don’t let the previous rough construction out front fool you, this place is gold. I had the steak and chorizo tacos that were superb. Mango margarita slapped 👏🏻“

“We live 2.5 hours south of Lake Villa, but we were meeting some friends from Florida for dinner. They were in the area for their grandson’s graduation from Great Lakes Naval Academy. Found this place via Google and it had great reviews, with good reason. We wish we lived closer because it would be a favorite for sure. Probably the best bruschetta and lasagna I’ve had in a very long time. Everyone loved their entrees. We tried multiple pasta dishes and the pizza. Prices were very reasonable and our service was exceptional. Excellent dining experience all around. Highly recommend.“

“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..“

“Our family’s favorite pizza in Barrington. Always great food!“

“We had an amazing dinner and service with my two daughters for the youngest 8th grade graduation. They treated us like queens and we ate like it also!!“

“1776 was a true delight! We spent the 4th of July here 🇺🇸. The food was truly an inspiration. Our waiter Josh was an absolute gem and sweeter than sorghum. We will return and request him as our waiter every time. Love this place.“

“We love everything about D&J Bistro! The atmosphere, the food, the staff, it’s our favorite restaurant and it’s perfect every time. 💛🍾“

“No Wake continues to be a favorite spot of ours. We are always sat quickly, and the service is super friendly. Location is great on the Fox River, and the food is great too! Menu is large with plenty of options for everyone. We have tried multiple appetizers and sandwiches/wraps and enjoyed them all. My husband is a huge fan of the burger which you can tell is made with fresh quality meat. Plenty of seating options inside but we especially enjoy the patio. Bonus points for allowing your pup outside and their own doggy menu is a cute touch.“

“This place is legit Korean style. It has its own spin to the dishes but all the bowls and burritos are the perfect balance is meat, vegetables and rice. We always get the burritos and bowls. We’ve also tried the chicken katsu and it’s got the best crunch and flavor. The mini steamed mandoo is also so good. Highly recommend this place!!“

“Amazing food and even better service ❤️ Raul’s really makes the best tacos I’ve ever had and I could eat them everyday. But they are always suggesting new things for me to try and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Whether it’s a first time guest or a regular customer they greet everyone like family dropping by for dinner. The food is so good my friends from out of state talk about it long after they go back home. All I can say is If you haven’t had Raul’s you are missing out!“

“The lighting was way too bright, especially those high beam lights at the high top tables in the bar area. If you dimmed those and overall in the restaurant it would be a much better ambiance. The food was amazing, the choice of drinks and wine fantastic and service was great.“

“We hadn't been there in probably 15 years. The food was delicious (had the Blackened Trout and a wonderful Wedge Salad).

Our server Ian was friendly and very attentive.

We look forward to returning soon!“

“Great service. I love their fish fry and I'm a big fan of the potato pancakes.“

“We had such a great experience at Walker Bros. in Lake Zurich! The food was delicious I ordered a mushroom and cheddar omelet, which was a big portion and really tasty, and the strawberry crêpe was amazing. My family loved everything they ordered too.

The service was wonderful they were quick, kept our coffee filled, cleared plates right away, and always made sure we had what we needed. What really stood out was the atmosphere and kindness. The owner noticed we had a big group and asked if we were celebrating something. When he found out it was my birthday, they surprised me with ice cream and a candle, and my family sang happy birthday. That little gesture really made the day special.

Thank you, Walker Bros., for making my birthday such a memorable one. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Such a great menu and unique items! We tried as much as we could in one meal and will definitely be back. Our server Abbie was awesome.“

“They cook up some AMAZING BURGERS! Try one next time you’re in the area. Sit upstairs on the beautiful roof top bar with our favorite bartender, Hayley. She’s a pleasure. We go there just for the burgers and to visit with Hayley.“

“Very good sandwich and soup - friendly folks and we enjoyed our lunch“

“Always a family favorite, especially when I have my grandkids. Whether they can sit at the bar to have their meal served by the train, or just watch it from a table, they absolutely love it and it's an experience we can't get anywhere else. Food is always good and service always excellent. I like that the new(er) owners made a few changes to keep the charm but get rid of a little clutter.“

“I rarely eat out these days because it’s hard to find places that truly care about using quality ingredients, but this place blew me away! The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The Million Dollar Bacon is incredible—perfectly cooked and so flavorful. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

“Took my wife here for valentine's day and it was fantastic. The food and drinks were amazing, great appetizers and great service, if you want real Italian this is the place to go.We will be back for sure.“

“Highly recommend this restaurant!! They have so many great choices on their menu and the food is absolutely delicious!!“

“Amazing service and they make a great Ruben sandwich“

“The lengua tacos were delicious and the tamales were loaded with shredded pork. I’ll be back again soon.“

“The best brewery around focused on traditional German and English beers like Bitter, Marzen and Maiboch.“

“Delicious! Service was great!“

“We were driving thru IL and I found this taco place on my drive. Decided to give it a try. Ended up getting steak, chicken and pork tacos to try. I would rate my favorite in the order. I would come again if I passing thru. Some places in the past have a little station with onions, pico, etc. Be nice to have that. That’s my only complains.“

“Again 10/10 at Little Chef in McHenry for both food and service ❤️ never a bad item or experience there! Today - based on the owner's recommendation - we started with a cupl of their meat and veggie soup that did not make it on the official menu - sorry missed a photo of it - delish! 😍 Pork, chicken and beef in a savory broth chock full of veggies - carrots, celery, onion 🤤 followed that with the egg salad appetizer, one of our absolute favs 🤩 4 toasted rounds of bread with their excellent egg salad 👍 then we tried the new potato pancakes entree for the first time, which came topped with assorted grilled veggies, plus toast, eggs and hollandaise sauce.. we got the eggs scrambled, rye toast buttered, sauce on the side, and requested a side of sour cream. YUM 😋 ended up with the vanilla cake with vanilla frosting - sorry to miss a photo of that too. Awesome! Service was timely, water glasses attentively refilled, as was the coffee too. $31 Note: it was one order of each item as we always split 🤯 We also got 2 bloody Marys and 2 mimosas, plus a Bailey's, kahlua and amaretto mix to add to our coffee as a nightcap from Old Bridge Tavern next door $48 Left with no leftovers and completely satisfied, happy and full.“

“What a pleasant change from all the chain restaurants. The owner is someone who loves what he does, takes time to visit your table, and serves recipes handed down from his grandmother and mother. The food is prepared using the freshest of ingredients. The noise level enabled us to easily carry on a conversation. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.“

“Great restaurant! dined here on a Tuesday night. wonderful, young, courteous and professional staff. they recommended things with confidence. I am so glad I finally tried the place.“

“We found you guys years ago: your our favorite spot: Just tried your cauliflower pizza Omg it was fantastic!!!!!“

“We have been going here for a while. The other breakfast places around here are nothing compared to whistle stop. The food is always fresh, hot, friendly professional staff and every guest is treated the same which makes us feel comfortable and wecome. I have not had one bad dish everything is great. Their fries are really good too. Keep up the good work. My kids love you guys!

Kid-friendliness: Yes totally kid friendly. They have a kid menu and accomodate to each kid needs.“

“we spent our night tonight there together just myself and my fiance. we had an absolutely wonderful experience. The owners were the most wonderful people. It was nice and quiet just him and I with a little music in the background with nice dim lighting. The food was out of this world! Very generous food portions! we will definitely be thinking about this place for a while!!! Honestly I don't think we could have had a better night! Thank you for making our night special“

“No wonder this place has been around for 30 years. No gimmick oven, no fancy waters glasses. Barrington is full of fake pizza places were youll leave hungry everytime. This place is about pizza, value and great service.“

“We tried Rusty Nail Saloon for lunch today. The soup was great, Walleye special was huge and cooked perfectly, and the rest of our meal was delicious. our server, Michelle, was quick, friendly, and attentive. We will definitely go back!“

“My waiter was good and friendly. I sat in covered patio. I ordered a spring salad with shrimp. blackberries, grapefruit, candied pecans, arugula and berry vinaigrette and a side of Mac n cheese. The salad was missing the pecans but I forgot until I left, I thought something was missing. However, the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The ratio of shrimp to half portion was good. Mac N Cheese was ok. Noodles were undercooked and some still hard/crunchy edges and cheese sauce was just average and a bit gritty/thick. However, I was not expecting my meal to be served with plastic wrapped plastic utensils. a take home box for salad and a take home container for dining in. That was disappointing. the table of eight next to me was a bit shocked too to get their meals in to go cardboard containers.“
