Restaurants in Lake Zurich

“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”

“The sauerkraut soup is amazing! I wish it was on the menu all the time and not a special. Great tasting food and highly recommend.”

“Everything was perfect!”

“My wife and I stopped in at the Lake Zurich location this past Saturday, 1/11. We definitely loved the beer and the establishment. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They also had a great wood fire pizza food truck. I highly recommend Phase 3. We will definitely stop back in..”

“The best brewery around focused on traditional German and English beers like Bitter, Marzen and Maiboch.”

“We just celebrated my wife's surprise 65th birthday Sunday with 14 family members. We chose El vado #2 Mexican Restaurant and couldn't be any happier. From them going out of their way purchasing ballons and banners to her complimentary frozen ice cream the service, food and drinks were phenomenal. Very warm and welcoming staff. Very appreciative of your business and fantastic atmosphere. Thank you for this memory. Never felt rushed. Everyone in our family raved on how great it was and was one of our best parties ever. Familiar with their other restaurant in McHenry which is also excellent and reasonably priced. You have to try this place if you like mexican food. A+++”

“We had an amazing dinner and service with my two daughters for the youngest 8th grade graduation. They treated us like queens and we ate like it also!!”

“I recommend that if you have a very big sweet tooth or even just want a sweet treat, try the cookies. The customer service is amazing; the staff are all welcoming.”

“I had the pleasure of enjoying Sunday breakfast with my wife. The atmosphere is wonderful , the service is excellent , and the food is fresh and delicious. Donna surprised my wife with a birthday cake , and all the guests sang „Happy Birthday’’ to her. It was such a special moment ! Thank you for creating such a fantastic birthday vibe. I highly recommended this local spot for a great experience.”

“If you're looking for a great breakfast for a fair price, it would be hard to beat @alker Brothers. The service is always exceptional, the ambiance is elegant, but comfortable and the food is excellent. They have pancakes for every taste (my favorite are the buckwheat). The omlets and crepes are amazing. If you are in the Chicago area, look for the closest Walker Brothers. You will not be disappointed.”

“Ola at the front desk was absolutely amazing, she explained all the different types of teas really well and even offered to make it the way we wanted it and it was probably the best boba I’ve ever tasted. She was so sweet and even offered to remake it if we didn’t like it! Definitely amazing customer service! 100% would recommend!!!”

“Highly recommend Mari's restaurant. The food and service at Mari's restaurant was excellent. Such an extensive menu! My family all ordered different things (zopes, flautas, a beef stew, pupusas and more). And we even had some delicious desserts including fried ice cream. The portions were very generous and the prices were amazing. The owner's whole family works there and you can tell that they put their heart into the business. I would highly recommend giving them a try.”

“​I stopped in here looking for a good burger with my son, wanting to catch up over a nice meal, and Zin Gastropub absolutely delivered.
​We had an amazing time from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, the burgers were excellent, and the kids' meals were a hit. What really stood out, though, was the incredible service. Everyone in the restaurant was exceptionally kind, checking on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed.

​Our waitress, Giedre, was phenomenal and went above and beyond to make our dinner special. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and top-tier hospitality in Lake Zurich. We will definitely be back!”

“Great cocktails. Busy even as the evening started to progress. My beet salad with shrimp was tasty. Pretty lake view”

“Fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was authentic and welcoming, and you could tell everyone there was passionate about what they do. The bourbon was outstanding—smooth, flavorful, and some of the best I’ve had. Whether you’re a serious bourbon fan or just looking for a great experience, this place is absolutely worth the visit. I’ll definitely be back.”

“Delicious crepes and paninis!! Fresh ingredients made to order! Very nice location! Definitely recommend!”

“The deserts we magnificent, the coffee was hot and fresh and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable, what a great place to check out if you have not, wow!”

“we love these healthy treats!”

“Great time great place wonderful people”

“The food and service are great!”

“Great food! I’ll be there many more times”

“I hired The Hungry Mule in Lake Zurich to cater a luncheon for about 65 people. The owner and staff were easy to work with. Very accommodating. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Everyone commented on how delicious everything tasted. I would definitely hireThe Hungry Mule again.”

“She's got the most delicious pastries, but not only that, we used her for making our wedding cake, and man was it good! Even our guests that had cake loved it! I would give her 10/10 rating and will most definitely recommend touch of sweets to anyone who's looking for a baker for their wedding. Thank you to her for making not only a beautiful cake, but making it so delicious.”

“while they usually do great I ordered 2 of the big Kahana tubs today. I've never had one but as the sandwich and pictures show, it's not supposed to have lettuce. I had half my teeth removed a few weeks ago and lettuce is just not doable for me. highly disappointed.”

“Good place. Consistently good food v”

“My waiter was good and friendly. I sat in covered patio. I ordered a spring salad with shrimp. blackberries, grapefruit, candied pecans, arugula and berry vinaigrette and a side of Mac n cheese. The salad was missing the pecans but I forgot until I left, I thought something was missing. However, the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The ratio of shrimp to half portion was good. Mac N Cheese was ok. Noodles were undercooked and some still hard/crunchy edges and cheese sauce was just average and a bit gritty/thick. However, I was not expecting my meal to be served with plastic wrapped plastic utensils. a take home box for salad and a take home container for dining in. That was disappointing. the table of eight next to me was a bit shocked too to get their meals in to go cardboard containers.”

“Terrific vibe. The owner cares.”

“We were at a food truck event and saw Kurbside Pizza and Panini! When we went to order a delicious sounding panini (Pear and Prosciutto), turns out it was supposed to be a pizza… They wanted to try to make it into a panini as they hadn’t done it before. We were SO GRATEFUL they did because it was one of the most delicious (and beautiful) panini sandwiches we have had! The food ratio of the ingredients was just right, the large panini bread was toasted perfectly and melted as you took a bite—including the crust that is typically very hard from other restaurants. I would have never thought to combine those ingredients together, but the combination was tasty! They used very fresh ingredients as well, including generous slices of the pear. We highly recommend Kurbside Pizza and Panini! PS—how cute is this truck as well with the pizza wings? Amazing experience! 💖”

“I decided to go to LAGO for the first time last night, and I’m so grateful I did! From the moment we arrived, the valet was incredibly kind, and the ambience struck the perfect balance—upscale yet cozy and welcoming. I felt at home immediately, with that unmistakable “city” energy that makes a night out feel special. Our server, Lexi, was absolutely wonderful—beautiful, vibrant, and genuinely attentive. She went above and beyond to make my birthday feel truly special, and we all adored her. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and every detail reflected how much care and expertise go into this restaurant. I’ve been missing a place like this, and I can’t wait to come back. LAGO is something special.”

“Great place for a big group. My son’s soccer team had a team meal here. The server did a great job and was very attentive. The food was delicious, but my portion was smaller than I expected, so instead of sharing with my wife, we should have ordered two. Others in our group very much enjoyed their food. Great beer list and sports bar type atmosphere.”

“We catered a party with Tacos El Norte tonight. I couldn’t be more pleased with the food, service, or price. They were helpful, responsive, generous, and easy to work with. Couldn’t be happier.”

“Best pizza and wings out there! Always fast and hot delivery!”

“We were so sad to hear the store close in McHennry! It was our family tradition to visit you as well as my child. We always make it priority to visit you! While visiting for a week it’s normal to visit 2-3 times before we go!!”

“Food is decent, the standout dish is their dumplings.

The vegetables are lazily not chopped well, so it is in huge pieces in all their dishes. It's mainly a carryout so don't eat there because it's dingy, loud and busy.

Service is nice and timely.”

“This pizza I just ordered was among the Best Giordano's we've ever had. We just moved to the area so this was our first time ordering from this location, we've always liked Giordano's but this was excellent! Perfect thin crust, perfect bake, lots of cheese and delicious toppings.
Will definitely be ordering from this location again. Thank you!”

“They were so nice and welcoming despite our shortcomings. They had a stupendous service, I am so proud that this community has a great team that brings the top notch service.”

“Amazing ice cream! The flavor selection was great and unique, with some classic favorites. We ordered 1 scoop each, but was more like 3 scoops. Highly recommend and will be going back soon!”

“They have the BEST soups ever, and their pizza is amazing too. Highly recommend going here.”

“Erieon made our experience wonderful in Kankakee!”

“Been going to Sergios since the beginning. The owner, Sergio, is an awesome guy. I moved out of Lake Zurich two years ago but every time I’m in town and am hungry, I usually try to stop by.”

“Very good polish food, always fresh and affordable, Menager Ewa always helpful and friendly. Good service👍”

“Half price pizza & $8 pitchers $4 Bloody/Screwdriver on Sunday. Great place with great specials, I like “The Italian” specialty pizza with sausage/Italian beef/Giardiniera (add onion) it’s like $10-$11 for a Large 16” on Sunday 👌”

“Kooker’s is my favorite lunch time spot when I’m at the office for the day. They make their own natural cut fries that I love cooked well done. They have daily specials that are great deals, although all of their prices are fair. They have limited seating, but you can call ahead and pick up an order and I think they do delivery. When there, make sure you look at the specialty board that is to the right of the register. There you will find items that are not on the regular menu. Today I had the poutine with pulled pork—amazing. I highly recommend this locally-owned burger (and a lot more) joint.”

“They fit us in on New Year’s Eve and made us feel at home. The food was excellent. Kids and adults loved the food. Great, friendly service and a warm atmosphere. Thank you for making a memorable night and saving our New Years Eve!!”

“The food and service were both quite good”

“Stopped in this morning on a quick target run. I would like to mention how friendly the barista was not just to me but all the customers ahead and after me. I didn’t catch her name, but she had pretty blue/teal hair. I must say, my shaken espresso was PERFECT! Her ratios were spot on, other locations have made it too milky, she absolutely nailed it. She definitely put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. And once again, the drink was D E L I C I O U S!!! Thank you for the good service and splendid drink!”

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

“We needed a place for dinner while driving home from a weekend getaway. We luckily found Bobbers thanks to reviews on Google Maps. Boy were we glad we went! Lake perch fish fry was fantastic as were the grilled shrimp and curly fries. Can’t wait to go back on a nice day and sit outdoors with a beautiful lake view!”

“Tea and coffee so delicious, so many great food options. The staff at this location are the nicest and so friendly. Excellent customer service. Nalani is the best Highly Satisfied!!!”

“Outstanding service especially Manager Lilya. She is so generous and she does know what she’s doing. Lilya is the best host everyone could wishes for. I highly recommend to visit this restaurant.”

“la comida 10/10 te atienden muy bien”

“✅🇺🇸Honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. I got the Chicken Pesto and the Matcha Madness smoothie and both were amazing. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and the smoothie was perfect. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and the whole experience was great. Definitely coming back.🤝”

“This place is awesome! My husband ordered the cowboy pork chop from the menu - It was perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. It was tender, and it was in a fantastic portion. I had the rack of lamb and it was the most tender lamb I have had in years and deliciously seasoned. It was reasonably priced and they provide provided a full meal - Perfectly cooked potatoes/fries and vegetables. Service was fast and the atmosphere is so relaxing, warm and inviting. We look forward to returning soon!”

“Superb lunch spot with clean spacious booths suitable for conversation. Blissfully no music playing! The food was prepared and brought to our table in 5 minutes. The McAllister club was nice to split with my wife, with fresh ingredients and a sweet sauce with just a hint of spice…mostly mayo but there is something more going on there. Potato salad was fresh…..a little bland but that’s OK. Can’t beat the affordable prices.”

“I was blown away.”

“Adrienne is the reason I’m motivated to leave this five star review. This young lady has a positive and friendly attitude that is just outright contagious. Go to Wendy’s in Lake Zürich and say hi to her for me.”

“The service was great and the food was delicious. we were passing through for work and stopped in. Aubrey was awesome and the guy that seated us and brought us extra bread was great. The portions on pasta are huge!”
