“I absolutely love Kiki’s Cotton Candy! World’s best lemonade is an understatement. Honestly the nicest people too. Try everything- it’s all delicious!”

“A hidden gem!
My fiancé and I were looking for places to eat and we saw the panini bar, we were a little confused when we first pulled up, but we did some digging and found out it was in the LB Mart.
We got a turkey pesto and chicken chipotle panini, these were both SOOO good!
Definitely recommend this little hidden spot if your in the mood for a panini!”

“Our book club had a meeting here and it was amazing! Everyone was super accommodating, the food and room were great and we had an overall great time!! We hope to be back again soon!”

“Most of this review is based on nostalgia. When I was a teenager, my dad would take me here when he got off work (when it was only underground) so I could eat pizza and he could have a couple cocktails. Though I live a thousand miles away, I was able to take my kids to this place so they could enjoy the pizza (along with me). Still a great tavern style thin crust. No, I didn’t have any drinks but I was able to get them to open the downstairs for us so my sons could delight in the amazingly unique and memorable decor of the basement. The place above ground has changed a lot, but the pizza, the downstairs pub, and the memories haven’t”

“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!”

“variety of Indian breads, loved the Onion Kulcha! incredibly delicious taste and levels of spicyness are offered with every dish! no more spice overwhelm which can ruin the subtle tastes in Indian cuisine. courteous staff, gracious and available servers. Loved Aloo & cauliflower dish My partner enjoyed robust Dal dish which had veggie tidbits to round out flavor. we loved the food here. Best Indian fare in the area!”

“Delicious, fresh, healthy smoothies on a hot day were absolutely perfect. William made our daughter a minion milkshake (and secretly made it healthy without her knowing, which was perfect for our very picky eater), and our son enjoyed a taro boba tea with popping mango boba. Such a great find, and fabulous owner!”

We had brisket, pulled pork, ribs, rib tips, cornbread, baked beans, and mac & cheese. Wow - what a hit. Incredible quality, the best service, and we love supporting local businesses. Definitely check them out if you want great barbeque and funky cool vibes!”

“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”

“During my visit on 9/24/25, I ordered 3 mini cookies for me and my 2 young daughters. My kiddo dropped the box and ruined one of the cookies. Without hesitation, an associate offered to replace the cookie and packaged it so very nicely. Customer service at its finest and rare nowadays. Well done!”

“Very fast and pleasant service, along with amazing food served here. 10/10 best restaurant I’ve been to in Grayslake! Sat down at 7:45, watched our food and drinks made be served before 8. Every costumer that came in was treated with the same welcoming, friendly, and FAST service. Will be returning as this is our new favorite spot. 💞”

“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!”

“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”

“I highly recommend this place. Today was the first time in the shop for my wife and I, the staff was super friendly and kind. Thomas helped us decided on what delicious drinks to try. They were both great, then we went back inside and got a couple coffees to go. Nessa helped us with our to-go order. Thank you to the staff for their kindness. The coffee is amazing.”

“Best pizza in town hands down”

“Crumbl in Hoffman Estates is a sweet stop for anyone with a cookie craving. The rotating menu keeps things exciting, with new flavors to try every week alongside the classic favorites. The cookies are big, fresh, and usually warm, making them perfect for sharing (or not!). The store is clean, and the service is quick and friendly. Prices are a little high, but the quality and unique flavors make it worth it.”

“BEST peanut butter smoothie bowl I have ever had! Staff is super knowledgeable and they have everything you could ever need for your healthy lifestyle. 10/10 recommend and I can’t wait to go back. Thanks Digz!”

“Beer-battered shrimp tacos, with their special topping, plus we added a slice of avocado, was what we had for dinner tonight. My husband stopped midway through his meal and said this was the BEST TACOS …and guacamole! Thank you Taco Shop!!!”

“Absolutely phenomenal dining experience. The meat quality is top-notch, the service is attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere is both cozy and warm. A true gem for anyone who appreciates authentic Korean BBQ flavors done right. Once you've tasted it, there's no going back!”
