50 Best American Restaurants near Kildeer

“We enjoyed another great evening at Coopers Hawk Kildeer. We choose Coopers Hawk not only for their great drinks, food preparation and portions, but also because they have substantial Gluten-Free options and dedicated fryers so everyone can enjoy. They take allergy consciousness seriously. While Kyle our server was prompt, courteous, and engaging I have to say the entire staff gave us a feeling they truly appreciated our choice dining with them. Everyone we spoke with or even passed in the hallway smiled and made eye contact. The Pretzel bread (including Gluten-Free bread) along with appetizers (Calamari & Brussel Sprouts) were the perfect size for our party of five(5) to share. We enjoyed a variety of dishes (Chicken, Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops, Spaghetti w/Meatballs, Gnocchi Alla Vodka, and Salad w/Chicken & Avocado), all delicious. Flourless cake and two other desserts were shared and delicious. Overall highly recommended as we have had consistent high quality food and service at this location.“

“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!“

“The restaurant is nice and big. It is clean! The waitstaff is great, friendly and efficient . The food is very very good and you know it's a great place to go when there is a wait line, sometimes out the door. You have the option to eat outside in good weather. My husband and I always try to get the cozy two seater table in the little nook by the window. The food is very tasty and plenty of flowing coffee. Due to illness we are not able to come out much, but I sure miss this place. Lots of wonderful Saturday morning breakfast memories. Wishing you great continued success.“

“My niece and nephew ordered a kids meal which was supposed to come with ice cream. When they went up to the counter, the employee mentioned that it needs to be purchased on the app. With them not having a clear understanding that the ice cream was included in their kids meal and was on the receipt, the manager got involved and said she will write it in the book so when they come in next, they will receive the free ice cream. Fast forward a couple weeks later, sure enough the manager did leave the name in the book and the kids were able to get the free ice cream. Shout out to the manager because anyone could have said sure we’ll write your name and not take it seriously. I don’t know your name but thank you for following through on your word. I’m not sure if there’s a way to recognize you, I hope this helps!“

“Delicious burgers, fried chicken, ice cream, etc.“

“If you are a chips and salsa fan and choose your Mexican restaurants based on that, you are going to be very disappointed. Chips were WAY to salty and the salsa was a chi-chi's/Pace clone.....very mediocre at best. Usually that is not a good sign of what is to come, but in this one case, it did not tell the whole story. The food was actually very good. I had steak enchiladas mole which was outstanding, and we also had shrimp fajitas which were also excellent. If you like mexican seafood dishes, this is definitely the place for you, and the menu has a ton of seafood options. We had a queso appetizer and it was decent.....but brought out cold. Definitely would've been better if hot. Overall it is worth giving this place a try. I would strongly suggest to the owner....less salt on the chips, and a new salsa recipe.“

“live just down the street from Lamp Lighters, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The food is always excellent—fresh, flavorful, and consistently satisfying no matter what you order. The atmosphere feels friendly and comfortable, like a true neighborhood gem.

A special mention goes to Amber, who’s not only incredibly attentive and professional but also genuinely kind and welcoming every time I stop in. She makes the experience even better with her great energy and warm personality.

If you’re in Palatine and haven’t been to Lamp Lighters yet, you’re missing out on one of the best local places around!“

“Everything tasted great tonight but for some reason the bun just fell apart...“

“I had a wonderful experience at Hickory Roasters Restaurant at Rolling Meadows. The chicken was delicious, juicy, and the wood-fired flavor gave it an amazing taste. The coleslaw and spicy roasted potatoes were also outstanding and complemented the meal perfectly.

What really stood out to me was the welcoming atmosphere. Watching one of the owners interact with a regular customer made it feel more like a family dinner than a typical restaurant. The staff was friendly and made everyone feel at home.

The menu offers a wide variety of options, so there's something for everyone. I had a great time and I'm already planning my next visit to try the barbecue ribs!“

“Jerry was amazing! He helped us today and everything was real good. My food was so yummy, first time trying culvers and did not disappoint. The meat on my burger was fresh and had an insane taste for the price, everything was so good. Will be returning!“
