“Today was my first time trying this place, and after seeing the reviews, i was just expecting a generally good burger. I was genuinely surprised by the PHENOMENAL burger and fries! The shake was good as well. This was honestly the best burger i've had in a really long time. I will definitely be eating here again. I hate doing reviews, but they deserve the praise.“
“The cookies are DELICIOUS! The company tries to switch up the flavors weekly and always does a great job deciding on new flavors. The cookies are very large too, and we split one between 3 people. They are approximately $6 per cookie, so a little expensive but worth it. I highly recommend trying this place! (Pictured is the Tres Leches Cookie)“
“Went in a few days ago and was greeted by the owner who totally over-served my 2 kids in the best way possible. We ordered minis and he gave huge portions with lots of the toppings we ordered. You could see he did it because he thought it was fun and wanted to see my girls happy. That's a perfect local business, and one that serves up delicious treats alongside the excellent and warm service.“
“Pros: Donuts made fresh to order, so you get them warm! Many varieties to choose from.Cons: Their donuts are on the cake-y side. Not my cup of tea. And they don't have filled donuts like Boston creams. We got there around 2pm when the place was empty. Service was prompt (duh) but I wouldn't call it warm.Since I prefer raised or filled donuts, I probably won't be coming back.“
“It's an ice cream stand. Return from the Marytown Shrine, I couldn't ignore the 'flavor of the say - blueberry " sign calling me. Many flavor served in cones, shakes, Sundays or concretes. I had a the blueberry as a malt. Proper flavor levels for the blueberry and the sweetness, not overly sweet. Great formulation, thick but it would move through the straw. Solid place. Service? The got the order correct, prepared it promptly and the change was correct. No problems. Would return“
“The Ice cream and candy was amazing. It is really cute and the service is great. My only small problem is that the ice cream was to sweet and the actual flavor did not really shine through. The cost is a little high for the amount of ice cream you get. Overall great experience and would definitely go back again.Kid-friendliness: The staff is incredibly nice and helped my kids. My kids get scared when talking to strangers, but the staff was patient with them. I want to thank this staff member very much. You made this all much easier that it would have been.“
“Yesss I love a long time Iove for Suzy's & have been missing it since it left Gurnee! So glad I was able to stop into this location. So clean and tidy here. Tons for flavor options. It is kind of tucked away in the back corner of the complex but tons of signs with clean directions. Tons of toppings to choose from. Price is by cup which I like so you know exactly how you are paying. Check out their social Media as they have deals like half price days. Worker was super kind and had lots of energy. There are a few table options inside and options outside too. Hope to be back soon!“
“There’s no doubt that this is the best ice cream shop in the greater Chicagoland area, however the staff is what makes the experience much more worth it each time we come. We came in a few nights ago and were helped by the lovely manager Zelle, who made my little brother’s birthday 10x better by not only treating him to a delicious sundae with a fun candy face and lots of sprinkles, but served it with a beautiful smile! Her and other staff were having lots of fun behind the counter and engaging in jokes and conversation with my family. They really made us feel like we were old friends to them, like regulars that they’ve known their whole lives, something you really don’t see anymore. You would think that’s how every service worker would be while working in ice cream? Nope, only at this Graeter’s. Thank you Zelle and thank you Graeter’s team!“
“In town for my daughters graduation from Bootcamp! We came in late, long drive, the Airbnb we got had no air on all day so it was 98 in the house when we got in so we decided to go grab a quick bite. We was a little unsure at first but so glad we came here! My husband and I split a Cuban and my daughters girlfriend got a Turkey sub… both was extremely good… the shredded pork on the Cuban has an amazing Smokey flavor. They were extremely nice even though we did go in close to closing (we did take it to go) .. we were definitely impressed!“
“Late Sunday night can't believe they were open, didn't want to cook. Glad to be helped out by Rachel at the speaker and the window. I have managed retails and restaurant locations for over 16 years and an employee like Rachel is special. Very kind, bright and welcoming and witty banter to make my visit stand out. The food was great as well. Thank you Sunday night crew for a great experience.“
“The food is amazing. I'll miss it when I leave Illinois due to the state I'm going to not having one. It's cheaper than McDonald's if you're okay with spending $2 less than McDonald's for 2 people. The staff are really nice and allow you to take your time without getting annoyed. Ive gone through the drive thru twice with the same results. Food is amazing, inside is clean. You don't have to worry about them screwing up your food either. Culver's, you are on the top of my list for best fast food places.“
“Usually, come here for my fruit water-based smoothy. Good flavor, and it's nice and cold. I still get it in the winter. Staff are great people. I usually see the same servers. The location is nice and clean. I haven't tried any of the food since I only come for drinks and ice cream. I'll try the food another time. I will continue to come back when I'm in the area.“
“Culver's was really good. Their burgers are juicy and flavorful, with the perfect balance of toppings. The buttered and toasted buns add an extra layer of deliciousness. And let's not forget about their mouthwatering cheese curds! They're crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and oh-so-addictive. The custard is a must-try too, with its creamy texture and a variety of delectable flavors. The service at Culver's is always friendly making the experience even better. If you're craving a burger or custard, Culver's is the place to go.Vegetarian options: They have all kinds of delicious salads on their menu.“
“If you like soft, chewy cookies, you really should try Crumbl! Some call them underbaked but IMO, they're usually perfect. Each week they have a new lineup to try and some are simple while others are a bit more unique. Located by Binny's on the corner of Lake Cook rd & Weiland, they're open every day but Sunday. On Sunday night, the next week's cookie selection is posted on TikTok, YouTube, & instagram. Milk chocolate chip & semi sweet chocolate chip are rotated every other week. Check 'em out!“
“SMOOTH FLAVORED YOGURT!Healthy alternative to sugary treats :)We were in the mall and happened to stumble upon this place. It’s a nice spot for hangouts. Great flavors and toppings. The gentleman at the front was very polite and friendly. He walked me through the steps for purchasing a cup. My son enjoyed the mango and strawberry yogurt topped with popping bobas.“
“I will say I'm not the biggest fan of crumble cookie. I'm more of an insomnia gal, but I wanted to try out their new flavors. I ordered two cookies, the banana bread and peanut butter cookies & cream. Both were actually really good. If I had to pick one, I think I would go with the banana bread. The service was fast, I ordered at the kiosk at the front, then someone brought the cookie to the front before I could finish taking my pictures. The server opened the box to make sure I was happy with the way the cookies looked. Once I told her I was happy she gave me my cookies to go. There is no place to sit on the inside of the bakery.“
“I have now visited this place a few times. I was here when they first opened and they needed to work out the kinks. I visited again when their pastries seemed to only come out of the refrigerated shelves and now they have a case with pastries. The two women working were nice when I arrived both greeting me separately when I walked in. One worked solely on drive thru orders and didn't help out the main counter if there was no one in the drive thru. The other working the main counter took her time making my drink of choice: hot mocha with oatmilk and an extra pump of chocolate (not a coffee drinker here). She filled my mug to the brim with artistic yumminess. It's a fairly open concept inside with two Jeni's ice cream coolers along one wall and a refrigerated cooler with juice cold brew canned coffees, bagels, fruit and other items. There's plenty of seating and plenty of space so you aren't on top of others. They have bistro tables, high chairs with a counter along two windows, low tables for 2/4/6 people for privacy to collaboration, and they have comfortable chairs and couches with coffee tables. It's a great place to start your day, conduct business, meet up with family and friends or to just kick back with a nice cup of Joe and a decent nosh.“
“I've never been to a Culver's in spite of living near one in a few states. The burgers put me in the mind of a smash burger I've had somewhere else. Good but not the best when I think of a great beef burger. My preference is one from Longhorn or Burgerhaus.“
“We ate ice cream at multiple locations across Chicago and this one was an unexpected stop since we were touring locations from the filming of Home Alone... well, let me just say the ice cream is the BEST we've ever had... and we come from the land of Braum's, so that's saying a lot. The raspberry chip was my personal favorite, but our group tried multiple flavors and loved them ALL. We also tried iced coffee which was so-so - I'd recommend sticking to the ice cream. Go early and often!“
“Nice to see the pizza assembled right in front of you! Good selection and you can pick your own topping combo. They skimp on the fresh basil leaves, but I usually tell them to double it!! They also have salads and delicious gelato. Their wings are decent, but I wouldn't come here just for them. The owner is very friendly.“
“I've ordered online from this location about 10 times in the last year and they get it right every time no issues whatsoever. Even during busy lunch hours when they had a packed drive thru they always get my online orders perfect when placed through their website. This location of Culver's is a perfect example of what they all should be like.“
“This place is all about timing and what employee you get. This time around was amazing. Was it because it was cold and most people aren't trying to eat ice cream? Maybe, but anyways it worked in my favor. Also, I just learned they have horchata and let me tell you something: horchata for the win! The horchata had the winning consistency, flavor, and sweetness to it. I'm excited I have another go to horchata place. The employee we got was super friendly and funny. She didn't rush us, answered our million and one questions and joked around with us. She even suggested ice cream combos. They have so many different flavors you just have to come back because they are pretty delicious. It gives the feel of homemade ice cream. I decided on the arroz ice cream. I absolutely love this flavor. They also serve snacks and tortas. It's more than just an ice cream shop.“
“Culver offers a delightful dining experience with its nice selection of dishes, ample parking, and great taste. The restaurant boasts plenty of seating, making it an ideal spot for gatherings of all sizes. Its spacious layout provides a comfortable dining atmosphere, and its convenient location adds to its appeal. Whether you're craving classic comfort food or exploring new culinary delights, Culver has something for everyone. Overall, it's a fantastic choice for a satisfying meal in a welcoming setting.“
“This is a cute little gelato shop right in the heart of downtown Libertyville! They have a nice selection of gelato, that seems to be made fresh there. It's not the best I've had, but definitely still recommend! The staff there has always been super nice as well.“
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Nias hot slots and Pizzeria, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The combination of delicious pizza and thrilling casino games made for a memorable night out. The pizza was mouthwatering, with a perfect crust and a wide range of toppings to choose from. The casino had a great selection of games, and the atmosphere was lively and exciting. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Nia’s for anyone looking to savor some incredible pizza and have a little fun!!“
“The ice cream is fantastic, the only downside is the service is kind of mid. They sometimes take forever because they’re always understaffed but the food does not disappoint! They always are asking to tip on their computer though which is super annoying considering they just stare you down while you are on the machine. All the menu items are diverse and I prefer the marshmallow, strawberry banana, and strawberry chocolate ice cream!! Also all their teamonades are super good!!! I prefer raspberry, peach, and lychee. They also sometimes add the actual fruit and a lemon piece into the drinks. The ambiance is kind of meh, it’s a very bright atmosphere but with empty and big spacing around the seats. Sometimes when it’s busy there’s not enough space to even enjoy your treat, but I love the ice cream and drinks! “
“The ice cream was good and the store is clean but the employee helping us who was probably in his mid to late twenties didn't know what rum raisin was. He literally said "I don't even know what that is" LOL come on now....a dairy company dating back almost 100 years old. Sad.“
“Happy to support local family owned businesses. I love that this store has everything that all the other Michoacána ice cream chain stores have, but this is a family owned and ran business not a franchise. So you’re supporting a local family by shopping here and not a large corporation that has many locations all over the country!! ❤️“
“OMG we found an actual donut shop! Since moving to Wisconsin from Cali, we have so missed corner donut shops. All we have in our area is the trash donuts from Grocery Stores, Kwik Trip, or Dunkin. This is the first actual donut shop we have seen and it did not disappoint. Big open space with lots of fun, large selection of donuts and a friendly staff“
“Excellent ice cream and fantastic chocolate milk! The service was great. The clerk was very patient with my grandson, who kept changing his mind on his ice cream flavors!Kid-friendliness: My grandson's really enjoyed the ice cream. They also have chess and other board games available to play.“
“GREAT PLACE TO BRING YOUR KIDS MY DAUGHTER LOVES IT SHE GOT HER SSKF A STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM SHE LOVED IT SHE ATE IT ALL IVE BEEN BACK A FEW TIMES THERE CHILLI DOGS ARE AMAZING TODAY I HAD A SHAKE IT WAS THE BEST ANGEL HAS REALLY AMAZING COSTOMER SERVICE I WILL BE BACK ?“
“First off the service was great. They were very nice people. There are more tables than you'd expect but I imagine at busytimes might be more of a take out destination. And it seemed clean and bright inside which is good. The best food was the burger, juicy...it was a good solid burger. Kids weren't as big fans of the chicken gyro (would've gotten the real gyro but there wasn't much left, which probably means it's popular, when I got there, so would try that in the future). Fries were decent. They make the shakes from scratch (just probably need to clean the blenders (and/or ice cream scoopers) more btw uses as the plain chocolate shake had a strong minty note (also I wasn't paying attention but chocolate shakes gotta still have added choc syrup, I dunno if it did, which prolly means no). Oh and gotta use fresh bananas for banana shakes, syrup or powder, to quote the bard Mando, just isn't the way. And that might be my biggest gripe with an otherwise really solid diner-like joint.“
“My husband and I stopped into the Dairy Queen Ltd Brazier on a hot summer day when we had a craving for blizzard. When we arrived, we found a line that stretched almost out the door. This did not deter us. We wanted our ice cream. Luckily for us, the line moved pretty fast. The servers were very nice and handled a busy situation well. I ordered a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup blizzard while my husband ordered a cookie dough blizzard. We paid and went home to satisfy our craving. I recommend Dairy Queen Ltd Brazier for good ice cream and fast service.“
“I had ordered through Grubhub and delivery. I ordered Mama K's Supreme pizza with hand rolled dough. The pizza had generous toppings or ingredients under the thick cheese (a big plus). The sauce was mild spicy and it was just right. The crust was baked right with browning and crispy. The pizza tasted like homemade. The pizza was delivered hot.“
“This place is so awesome. I love taking the kids here. They have a bunch of different flavors to try. They have some ice creams that are milk/cream base and some that are water based. They also sell other foods and drinks here like walking taco in a bag and fresh fruit chamoy with tajin. They had baked goods for sale. I ordered the dragon fruit with was good and sweet. It's one of my favorites next to cucumber ice cream. I tried a new flavor that had passion fruit, mango, tropical mix. It was pretty good. The bright colors inside of the restaurant transports you to a tropical island somewhere, and makes you forget it's 40 degrees outside. The service is always so awesome here. If you see a flavor and are curious about it, they let you try it out. I would definitely recommend trying La Michoacana if you're in the area.“
“First time here with my hunny. It's a cute place! I love the 50's diner look ? I got some hot wings & my hunny got a gyro(?) He was a lil disappointed with the size, but I really liked my wings ? prices aren't bad either! Will def go back.“
“First time in and this place did not disappoint! The owner David is super nice. They have a large menu with a variety of things to choose. The ice cream is excellent, I got one with a matcha shot, the matcha is high quality. I also tried a matcha strawberry boba and the boba is perfection. Not too chewy, perfectly soft. I would highly recommend checking this place out. It’s totally worth it!“
“I’ve been here twice and every time it’s been super busy and both the girls who have helped me are very quick. The mangos are fresh and delicious and the elotes are actual elotes on the cob. We got a couple ice creams and they don’t skimp on the amount, I have been to other Michoacana’s were they barely serve you and charge you a ton. Their prices are fair and their quantity is too. My friend got a Torta and it was really good!“
“I stumbled upon this place by accident but the crisp white and black colors from inside drew me in. It is bright, spacious and very well organized and clean. The customer service is BEYOND spectacular. I arrived just shortly after they opened and was walking around, the gentleman was kind and had a plethora of knowledge on the toffee and Gelato products. He gave me the history of the business and even about the toffee and co-business with the Gelato. His honest and product knowledge was superior. He demonstrated he knows his clients and product. The Gelato was out of this world, tasted like the Gelato in Italy because it really was produced by the Italians and the same way. We love toffee and they had numerous variations of flavors and chocolate collaborations. The coffee was spit on too. The quality of every product is truly superior like their customer service and very generous portions. Pricing is spot on for what you get. This place is worth the 30cminite drive from Glenview. Nothing compares to their flavors of Gelato and toffee selection. Lots of sitting room to socialize, read or work on your computer.“
“Depending on how well you know ice cream, Scoops & Kettle is a real treat in the mall. Never had the popcorn here which I heard is yummy but Chocolate Shoppe is superior quality ice cream.From the neighboring state of WI, if you've never tried S&K then you're in for some wonderful ice cream being Chocolate Shoppe is the best from America's dairy land.Definitely not cheap with food prices rising nationwide but my kids are well worth it. In any ice cream shop you'll ever visit, as soon as you see the CS emblem then you know you gotta go for it.Located in Gurnee Mills, this ice cream is easy competition against a couple of other high end ice cream parlors in Gurnee: Oberweis and Coldstone.If ever in the mall and in the mood for some deelish ice cream, S&K is a must. Better yet if you're in the mood for a cold treat and don't plan on browsing the mall, still worth the stop in.“
“Always a great treat whether I'm with the family or not and especially on a hot summer day/night, Cold Stone really hits the spot. But even when it gets cold out, still fun to go to even during a brutal Chicago area winter.This is probably the one ice cream parlor around compared to others that has a huge emphasis on toppings/creations which is definitely their strong point.Always a great selection of flavors between their regular year round and seasonal flavors, prices still seem reasonable although the high-end ice cream chain has never really been cheap and customer service remains consistently good in an always spiffy clean/sanitized atmosphere.CSC obviously does battle with competitors such as Oberweis up the road and Graeter's. When it comes to taste and quality, this place lives up to the price and my kids are well worth it anytime of the year.Only con (which doesn't drag down a 5⭐️ rating) about this place is the parking lot which can be greatly limited especially on wknd nights when nearby Giordano's gets packed. You may find yourself having to park east across the street from Starbucks and walking a bit of distance.“
“Ordered a banana ? split ice cream ? and vanilla ice cream in a cup! Very sweet treats to enjoy. And price ain't bad either.Service was friendly and ladies were very nice to us. But, during my order they never mentioned they charge for any substitute topping for not having regular nuts.“
“The quality and variety seemed great. The cashier seemed distracted. The atmosphere was cramped at best, unmovable at times. Nice for a nice date night stop. Not so great for my kid, He felt rushed by other customers. Would recommend the melt aways. We had mint and likened them to juicy Andies mints.“
