50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lake Bluff

“We went to their location in Libertyville all the time. Heartbroken when it closed. So glad they have this location. Best chimichanga ever. No on come close.“

“Always a good experience at The Silo Restaurant. Very polite and professional staff. They get busy so be patient. Burger meal and pizza were great. Mushrooms are excellent. Lots of parking.
Yes my burger was served with the smiley face! It made me smile too! 🙂“

“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!“

“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.“

“Their wine selection was from around the world, food was delicious, & service was impeccable. I highly recommend it.“

“Visited for breakfast a few days ago and had the best French toast I've ever had; they do their Cinnamon Roll French Toast right. Our server was super friendly, the kitchen was backed up a little but she made sure to check in frequently and keep us updated. Super cute inside too, definitely recommend for easy breakfast!“

“AMAZING coffee & matcha, served with such warmth & care by the sweetest family-owned shop — A true gem! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“There’s a certain quiet magic in Tala Coffee, Highwood. The flavor here isn’t just good — it has depth, like a story unfolding with every sip. You can taste the attention, the patience, the care.

The space is soaked in soft, voluminous light that feels almost three-dimensional — it moves through the café like air, shaping shadows, warming wood, making everything glow just a little more than you’d expect.

And the atmosphere… calm but alive. Like a Sunday morning that forgot to end. A place where time slows down just enough to let you notice it.

Highly recommended — not just for coffee, but for the feeling it leaves behind.“

“I am a regular and love the street corn tots and loaded hush puppies. Please keep them. Love the beer though!“

“This is a small cute restaurant where the food and service are so good, it gets crowded, so reservations are recommended. The food is American Bistro, and it is perfect for a fancy date or celebration of 4 people or less if some chatter noise doesn't bother you. I'll always go back, and I like their blue cheese hamburger.“

“Great place. Very friendly staff.“

“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“

“Delicious 🤤 10/10 recommend!!“

“Stopped by with my daughter for lunch. The bartender Ashley was prompt in coming to the table and starting us with some drinks. The attentive service continued throughout the meal. Cheese fries were hot, crispy, and well seasoned. Smash Burger was juicy and prepared correctly. Chicago Dog on point, and the Italian Beef’s beef to bread ratio was perfect. Get it with cheese and giardiniera.“

“Love this place! I’m from Wisconsin but life close to the Illinois boarder. I came across this gem while driving by. We stopped and order food- and then went back up to the window to order a few more times. The staff were very sweet and time efficient. Their creamsicle soft serve cone is to die for! We’ll be back!“

“Need more syrup on the banana splits. Ice cream was good“

“Very efficient drive-thru and friendly associates for an early morning breakfast order. The breakfast sandwich was great, and I'm stunned that I haven't gone to Wendy's more often. The parking lot was wide open in the early morning, and traffic on Half Day was congested with kids heading to school.“

“We had appetizers which were delicious! The place was packed! Our waitress was so great! Everyone who worked there seemed to love what they do! Speaks volumes for the owner! We will be back!“

“Blue House Korean BBQ delivered an excellent meal from start to finish. My absolute favorite was the Kimchi Pajun Spicy—a perfectly fried kimchi pancake served with a flavorful soy dipping sauce. Crispy on the outside, packed with bold flavor inside—truly a standout dish.

The overall dining experience was fantastic. The staff was friendly and attentive, and I really appreciated the call button at the table, which made it easy to request assistance without interrupting our conversation or meal.

One clever detail I loved: napkins were conveniently stored on the ledge by the table, so we could grab more whenever we needed—no need to ask!

Great food, great service, and thoughtful touches throughout. Highly recommend!“

“Reasonable prices, Good food“

“A real authentic Mexican restaurant in Highland Park or in a lot of the North Shore is hard to find so I’m glad I found this one! Food is great, Service has been really friendly and attentive. These last few times I’ve gone. Enjoy sitting on the outdoor patio. Definitely coming back!!“

“10/10 will come back next year.“

“Had a tea at this place, I did. It was surely a very nice place to have something warm especially amidst the below freezing temperatures. This is also located within walking distance from a Metra station, which is very nice.

Moreover, the staff is very nice too!“

“Great food at a good price can't beat it. Hot and ready and on time we ordered it five stars to these guys.“

“Holy Cow! A Keller Williams team member (Olga) brought in a passion fruit mousse cake to our Libertyville office. It was magical. I'm ordering for an upcoming birthday, and Uber delivers because it's a bit far. Their selection is mind blowing. I'm in cake love.“
