“Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe has got to hands down be the best food I have had in my 32 years of life. We just got home from a girls trip for my daughter's golden birthday in Chicago this past weekend and I'm ready to hit the road to go back. She ordered the kids Oreo s'mores pancakes of the kid menu. I got the 2 eggs meal which came with 2 eggs, hash browns, choice of meat (got sausage links) and either toast or pancakes. I chose toast. We then ordered her 2 dippy eggs, a side of biscuits and gravy, and got a side of bacon to share. The biscuits and gravy are hands down top tier the best recipe I have ever tasted (I ended up ordering 2 more sides to take home so I would have breakfast tomorrow 🤤). Even after stuffing ourselves with this delicious food none of our group felt miserable in any way. there was no belly discomfort whatsoever. We just felt full and nourished. I will be coming back as often as I can. The food is so hot, so fresh, so flavorful, and overall it was a wonderful experience. Everybody was so friendly , smiley, and just warm personalities. There is quite a wait on Sundays (not sure about other days) but I would wait 4 hours if they told me I had to. They do have an option where you can get on the waiting list online (we did not know that since this was out first time). Now let's talk about their preserves they make in house 🫠🫠 they make a triple berry compote with blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries. It was literal heaven. They sell jars as you are leaving for $11. Guys you have to try this place. I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews but it's so good I can't not leave one. If you want the best brunch food you have ever had in your life I can promise you you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Until next time wildberry keep doing what you guys do!“

“Love the New owner Jay. The food - that includes vegetarian as well as non- veg delicious. Authentic & portions were large. Go with your family, carry out - all good. Jay treats us like family. I see him stopping at all the tables ensuring their dining experience is enjoyable.“

“My palette’s lack of sophistication prevents me from doing justice reviewing the menu items I enjoyed, but my belly is satisfied , and there were no leftovers; however, no matter the exquisite culinary notes I, likely, missed that a more refined pallet might’ve identified, there’s no way there was anything on a plate in the Chicago land area this evening that matched the atmosphere, service, and proud history shared by the staff and current owner, a descendant of the original owners who established the restaurant 123 years ago. A truly delightful experience that I intend to repeat as often as I’m able!“

“Hi, I’m trying to contact you since one week on FB Messenger and IG. Could you please check my message ? It’s related to franchises. Best. Simon C.“

“Cutest yummiest cookies… totally worth the visit“

“Just stopped in for an early lunch, the food was delicious. The staff was friendly and the place was super clean. It will be our new favorite place for a quick fresh meal.“

“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“

“Stopped in for a coffee during my lunch and was very impressed with not only their selection, but with the taste as well! I got the Maple Cardamom and was very good. Highly recommend if in the area!“

“As an out of country guest, I have been a patron with every visit to this great part of the country. The quality and flavour of all the offerings, together with the fantastic service throughout, and the family atmosphere makes this a gem deserving of all the accolades. Freshly squeezed orange juice, skillets, benedicts, omelettes, sandwiches, waffles, Greek yogurt, and of course the namesake pancakes! The list goes on and on! May God bless everyone involved in running this fantastic staple in the community. Do not miss out on trying it out and returning again and again!“

“We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the Lake Forest location when we were in town for our daughter's U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command graduation. By far the best place we ate when we were in the Chicagoland area. I gave it a nod in my book and encourage anyone visiting Great Lakes to stop there with their sailor during liberty.“

“Reasonable prices, Good food“

“An absolute North Shore institution and a total treasure in Highwood! Everything here is stunning and delicious. The fresh fruit tarts, passion fruit mousse cake, and eclairs look like works of art and taste incredible. They also serve fantastic quiches and savory pastries if you're stopping by for lunch.
Tony and the team provide such warm, friendly service that makes you feel right at home. Perfect spot to grab a dessert for a special occasion or pick up a signature white box of sweet treats for the weekend!“

“There’s nothing better than Lou’s! So accommodating for large groups and excellent service! We came for a college send off and the food, like always, is outstanding! Perfect send-off until they return Thanksgiving! ❤️“

“I had the German pancake and with 100% recommend if you don't want a lot then order the baby Dutch you won't regret it. I asked for strawberries with mine.“

“Second visit as good as the first. Fresh ingredients quick service good selections. Several great vegetarian options too! I should have taken a few pix because each plate was artistic. Above all the food was great!“

“Mizrahi humus, where have you been all my life? I just had the lucky opportunity to try you for the first time. And now I can never eat any other hummus. This is beyond my favorite. Cannot recommend it enough!“

“Tried this restaurant because we happened to be in the area. We ordered the spicy teriyaki and spicy tofu bowl. Both bowls were awesome! Tasted great. We also got the Tum yum sauce which was a nice addition. The bowls were actually not spicy but they gave us hot sauce and bottle of teriyaki sauce. We also ordered the spicy edamame which tasted great. The side of noodles turned out to be very plain noodles so we added some teriyaki and tum yum sauce to it. The regular bowl had enough portion for more than 1 person to eat it. Overall highly recommended!“

“Finally tried The Claim Company in Northbrook last night and omg… that Motherlode burger is no joke 🤤🍔. Juicy, messy, and absolutely worth it. Fries were crispy perfection too. Such a fun, laid-back spot to hang out with friends. Totally coming back! 🙌✨“

“My first time ever trying Thai food, my husband has always been a fan. I am now hooked, this place is amazing. I knew it had to be good when I pulled up to a restaurant attached to a home kitchen. We ordered the Beef noodle soup spice level 2, chicken pad thai spice level 3, order of sticky buns, crispy egg rolls and crab rangoon. Everything was amazing. Tender beef in the soup, fresh not canned crunchy sprouts, rich broth. My husband loved the heat and fresh veggies in his pad thai. Even after sitting in the bag for about 30 minutes after pick up the rangoons were perfectly crunchy thanks to the venting on the container they put them in. Perfect portions, quality, great price, clean, all staff wearing masks, multiple carry out options in terms of curb side pick up, going in, delivery etc. Highly highly highly recommend. Cannot wait for our next take out/date night.“

“For over 20 years, Lana’s Dazzling Desserts has been our go-to place for every special occasion and it never disappoints! It’s a cozy, welcoming place with an always beautiful display, exceptional quality, delicious flavors, and wonderful customer service. Lana is incredibly creative and flexible, always ready to bring any idea to life and create the most beautiful, delicious, and unique cake designs. She’s constantly coming up with new flavors and ideas while maintaining the outstanding quality we’ve loved for years. Simply the best!“

“Celebrated my birthday and enjoyed wonderful dinner with my husband!❤️“

“Stopped by on Wednesday 02/06! And was greeted and attended by Mercedes. She was SUPER kind and attentive with my order! Very grateful she took my needs seriously since I fast on Wednesday's/Friday's & can only eat vegan. She went above & beyond to make sure my needs were meet! & as I was waiting I noticed how clean the area is. & once I got my order it came out so fresh; plan on visiting again! & thank you for the great experience!“

“I wanted to give this location props for their lunch on 8/17. Walking in around 1pm, I could tell they had had their butts handed to them and were obviously understaffed. However, in my perspective they were handling the hangry customers very well, were staying calm and the staff that was present seemed to know what they were doing. The only reason for 4 stars is because and (this has happened more than once at this location) rather than suggesting I try my Pesto Cavatappi with pork, they tell me it comes with pork, which is not true. There is an additional charge for any meat on this bowl.“

“the best panner rice with cajun sauce and pair with white and hot sauce.“

“We decided to give this place a try on a whim, and I’m so glad we did! 😍 The hot pastrami and hot corned beef were absolutely delicious, flavorful, and served fresh. 🥪🔥 The service was also excellent and very friendly, despite some of the complaints we had heard. The bagel slices were fantastic too! 🥯✨ Everything was so good, and we’ll definitely be coming back again! Highly recommend! 🙌😋“

“love the taste, yum!😋😋😋😋. l and my friend will go back.“

“Thai lettuce wraps. Yummy!!!!!!“

“It was a beautiful evening the window was up and we sat right next to the screen. It was a lovely setting. Julie was our waitress and her service was outstanding. The food was beyond description. We had an eggplantParmesan, lollipop, lamb chops a Delmonico steak and a side salad. Everything was fantastic. Side salad was huge and delicious, steak was done to perfection, an eggplant Parmesan was very tasty and we could've shared a dish because it was so huge. Thank you for making our weekend even better.“

“It had been a while since we visited a PF Chang's and we will certainly visit more often. Amazing food and presentation (The Boat!), ambient, music, drinks, service, desserts, etc. The whole package and overall, a fantastic experience!“

“The gingerbread cookie that they do at Christmas time is out of this world delicious. It’s one of the best ones I’ve ever had.“

“annalise & nia were so sweet! i had such a great experience with the staff here and for that reason alone i highly recommend it. everyone is so nice always. the food is great, staff is great, atmosphere is great, i could go on! but huge props to the team especially annalise and nia! 🥰 thanks again girls! 🍝

i have a nut allergy (tree nuts) and this is a safe place for me to eat. they recently added pecans to the menu but because they’re in the salads (same with wendy’s) i’ve never had an issue and have eaten here a ton.

i recommend the new garlic bacon mac & cheese and the chicken parmesan those are my favorites. if you’re craving noodles, stop by. be sure to tip the incredible staff! <3“
