“La mejor comida de todo lombard 🙂✌️“

“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!“

“Delicious! I always stop by whenever I’m in town.“

“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.“

“Simon’s Restaurant & Bakery in Villa Park greets you with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. I tried their Cream of Rice Soup, and wow—it was pure comfort in a bowl! Creamy, flavorful, and loaded with rice, it’s the perfect way to kick off your meal. For breakfast, I had the Spinach and Feta Omelette with crispy hashbrowns, and it did not disappoint. The omelette was fluffy, packed with fresh spinach and tangy feta cheese, and cooked to perfection. Paired with golden, crispy hashbrowns, it was an absolute treat! Simon’s is a neighborhood gem where you can count on great food, friendly service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or just a pastry from their bakery, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“Tony was a great server!“

“30 yr customer, will never see me again, ordered soup of the day chicken with a large pasta noodle, did not care for it at all, 75% broth in large container, expressed my disappointment to Kathy, did not offer apology or to make it right,“

“Great food and super friendly staff“

“Fantastic elevated food in a contemporary sunlit space with a water view. Well worth the drive for us. I started with the butternut squash and apple soup and a arugula salad with baked goat cheese, and my husband chose the creamy cauliflower soup and mixed green salad with currants and blueberries. The soups were both rich and flavorful. The salads were delayed in coming (perhaps because they had run out of arugula as my salad contained another leaf lettuce) but both salads were very good. The bread on the table was baked in house, also very good. We both had the hangar steak with whipped potatoes and sauteed spinach. Excelkent! We weren't asked how we wanted the steaks done but they arrived as we prefer them, medium with a warm pink center, with a charred crust and a slightly smoky flavor as if wood grilled. Perfect! A brownie sundae completed our meal. We will definitely be back.“

“We had the best lunch. Our food was tasty and hot, not to mention generously delicious. No wait, great help. Open kitchen. I hope they open one further southwest.“

The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and every dish exceeded expectations.

It's clear the staff takes pride in creating a great dining experience. Whether you're stopping in for dinner, drinks, or a special occasion, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I can't wait to come back!“

“This is one of the best family-run restaurants in Des Plaines. Sunrise Grill has been serving the community for 18 years, and you can taste the experience in every dish. Chef Jose cooks with passion, and Sylvia’s hospitality is unmatched. Ask the staff for their recommendations—they’ve never steered me wrong!“

“On a pleasant evening, we stopped by Chick n’ Fizz. We ordered boneless chicken wings, tater tots and sweet potato tots. They were all very delicious and satisfying to eat. Especially paired with the complementary sauce bar that we had a blast trying all the different kinds of flavors. Highly recommended. It was our first time here and we absolutely enjoyed it. The service is great to Cheri and David are very lovely. As well as, of course, the retro atmosphere is very cool. Will revisit again, awesome!“

“Marvelous play to come and play. On weekends, live entertainment, with lots of great bands, doing many oldies and nostalgic songs! Great food for reasonable prices, fantastic staff and customer service, and the music is what I come for. I am 70 and find people my age and older, tearing up the rug. Yeah, lots of fun, and comaraderie with those of us senior citizens, that don't act like it, and will enjoy ourselves as much as the band allows. You won't be disappointed with the atmosphere, the music, the customer service, or anything really! Cmon down and see for yourself!“

“We love this place, very good food and newspaper coupons are frequent. However, I’ve loved their chicken for years but something changed about 2 years ago. I think they may have switch cooking oil or something. Chicken is now bland and a little “off”“

“I visited Kong Dog Rolling Meadows today and had the best meal!! Hot Cheeto dog, Dorito dog, and potato, they were so fresh! We also tried the ramen and Tteokbokki - they were so delicious! We will be back very soon!! Staff was so sweet and food didn’t take too long to make!“

“One of our top Wheaton restaurant picks!“

“Shout out to Ivy! They hosted our Baby Shower and everything turned out perfectly.“

“Proof No. 5 in Wheaton offers a truly unique dining experience with its inventive dishes and vibrant, sophisticated atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot for a culinary adventure right in downtown Wheaton.
​The menu is a fantastic blend of global influences, and we started our meal with a showstopper: the Flaming Bourbon Cheese Dip. This theatrical appetizer was rich, smoky, and absolutely delicious. Next, the Chicken Shawarma Skewers were a revelation. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender, served with a zesty tahini yogurt sauce that was a great complement.

​For our main courses, the Lobster Pasta was a standout, featuring large chunks of succulent lobster in a flavorful sauce that coated every bite. We also enjoyed the Vegetarian Bibimbap, a beautiful and savory bowl packed with fresh vegetables, a perfectly cooked egg, and a spicy kick from the gochujang. We couldn't leave without trying the Chili Crisp Fries, a unique side that was crispy, spicy, and addictively good.

​Proof No. 5 manages to blend different cuisines in a way that feels both daring and delicious. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted, making for a memorable meal.“

“My husband and I were in town for C2E2 and stayed at the hotel next door to the restaurant. We had breakfast here every morning and our meals were delicious. The staff is nice and very attentive.“
