Restaurants in Libertyville

“I’ve been to Burt’s Deli several times in the past 10 years. Every time is the same time. That’s the magic of Burt’s, you know what to expect. It is a small place filled with all the sights and sounds of an authentic city deli tucked away at the end of a large shopping center in Libertyville. The food is magnificent, very tasty, and plentiful. Whats my favorite order? Of course, it’s the Yummi! You cannot go wrong with that one.”

“Modern decor, great service, excellent meal. Nice couples place. Not sure what to get? Our server gave us great recommendations. Will be back.”

“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!”

“Delicious house-made salsas - some with a great kick if you’re up for it. Lovely people.”

“Mixto has the greatest staff. They are accommodating and friendly. I've had breakfast and lunch there and it's always been tasty and well presented. This place is a hidden gem. Once you go you will definitely return.”

“We catered an event recently from the Picnic Basket and it was perfect! Lots of compliments on the food and the delivery was on time and very helpful!”

“Anam Cara Cafe was the perfect location for our family reunion on Black Friday! We were able to reserve a private room, so the little ones had free range to run around and not bother other patrons and the adults could comfortably hear each other and catch up. The staff was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process, from setting up the reservation to not rushing us out at the end of our gathering. They gave us great and attentive service without hovering and interrupting our conversations. Food was excellent and served promptly. Would definitely recommend! We're already talking about meeting there again when the Wisconsin and Chicago sides of the family meet up the next time.”

“perfectly cooked steak- very creamy mac and cheese- sausage and peppers were perfection- service was top tier- Batman was was playing on the television behind the bar which was in perfect viewing from our table. Thanks for helping make a Daddy Daughter Day a huge success.”

“Food is always good as usual”

“After a couple of years away following an uneven prior experience, a recent return to Bottaio with friends proved both reassuring and mildly frustrating. The dining room remains one of the restaurant’s strongest assets: warm, attractive, and inviting in a way that signals classic Italian comfort. Unfortunately, that promise is undercut by one persistent flaw—seating that is simply uncomfortable. After fifteen minutes, the chairs distract from the experience, an avoidable misstep in a restaurant that otherwise understands ambiance. Service, by contrast, was a highlight. Our server struck an engaging balance between edgy and personable, and—most importantly—demonstrated genuine knowledge of the menu and wine list. Wine selections, guided by their recommendations, were uniformly well received by the table, showing thoughtful pairing and sound judgment. The meal began on a high note with excellent crusty bread, a simple but well-executed opening gesture that set expectations optimistically. The entrées, however, struggled to rise beyond adequacy. While none were poor, they failed to deliver the refinement or depth one hopes for. The veal parmigiana arrived in an impressively large portion but was overly breaded, sacrificing balance and nuance. In contrast, the risotto stood out as the best dish of the evening—properly executed, flavorful, and satisfying. Other diners echoed a similar sentiment: the food was good, but never quite great. This mirrors past experiences and suggests a recurring issue rather than an off night. Bottaio remains a solid option for casual Italian dining, particularly for those who value ambiance, wine, and congenial service. With greater attention to detail in the kitchen—and a renewed focus on authenticity and precision—the restaurant has the potential to elevate its culinary standing meaningfully. One hopes that future visits will see that promise more fully realized.”

“Great staff and delicious reasonably priced menu. If you are looking to support a small local business, start here. You will not be sorry. Oh, did I say they have the BEST tuna salad in town? SnarfOn!”

“1st time and cant say enough great things. Food was phenomenal and soo fresh. the service & how kind the entire staff was from bus boys to owners was extremely refreshing. Thanks again for the hospitality.”

“People were just as amazing as the food!”

“Reasonable prices, Good food”

“Went for lunch. Pleasant atmosphere. Service was was nice enough. Food was very tasty. Cocktails were unbalanced. We ordered the Yuzurita. All tang - no sweet or tequila flavors. Also ordered the Yuzu Gin Spritz - again too much tang, did have a floral flavor. Both need balancing and more spirits. For eats order ordered all four small bites. The bao buns were delicious! Pork was crunchy, tender and flavorful topped with a quick pickle salad on a bao pancake. Pork dumplings were crispy pan fried with a soy seame dipping sauce. Fried Chicken Gang Jeong was piping hot, crispy with a syrupy sweet glaze. Lastly, the glass noodles were flavorful filled with a variety of mushroom and other veg. Tasty and fatty, just needed a pinch more salt or soy. Will definitely go again!”

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.”

“We ordered an iced caramel latte and a hot baklava latte. Absolutely amazing. The taste of the roast sits so well with the flavor. We also got a chorizo burrito and a bacon breakfast sandwich and both were delicious.”

“Regularly order their sushi for takeout! Love it…tried others but they are my favorite!! Dynamite, dragon Ferrari, tarantula, red dragon, libertyville, all some of my fave rolls!”

“I went to The Wicked Egg with my daughter and it was a great experience. Everyone who works there is so friendly, the food was prepared quickly and tasted good. I definitely recommend The Wicked Egg!”

“It was a refreshing splash of fruit for a beautiful afternoon. Filling and juicy it was a great new treat. Staff was very welcoming and informative. Highly recommended for açai bowls as it was the best I’ve ever had!!”

“We held a family funeral lunch at Lino’s. The staff was welcoming, attentive and very friendly as they took care of our party, which filled their banquet room. We had a couple of chicken dishes, a couple of vegetable dishes, a garden salad, potatoes, and cannoli for dessert. Our guests raved about the food, which was delicious and hot! We could not be more enthusiastic in our recommendation of Lino‘s!”

“You just can't beat 1/2 price pizza nights!
I was expecting a middle of the road, cheap pizza - Nope! It was a fantastic, classic Chicago style square cut pie that I would have been happy paying full price for”

“Great experience for Dinner”

“This is one of my favorite bars slash beer gardens. It's so nice and chill here. You can take in the water or watch sports on their TV. They have great beers on tap and more in cans. The best part is the service the people are nice cool and efficient! They work as a team to get you served fast. And they are friendly to talk to if you sit at the bar. I enjoy biking to this beer garden. Great place!”

“Pizza is amazing here! I just had an issue with Door dash and had to call in. You can hear they are obviously gearing up for lunch and just opened but the lady took the time to make sure the order was perfect. Didn’t rush nobody and turned an issue into a positive. The staff is always awesome here. Great pizza and people”

“To the staff at Libertyville Culver’s, thank you so much for taking care of Hanna during her Special Needs Transition Pathways work program. Hanna loved working there. Not to worry, we love Culverts and Hanna will be back!”

“Excellent Vietnamese food, best in the area. So many great dishes.”

“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.”

“Update…why did you take away breakfast tacos?! I’m taking away a star until they come back!!!

While we miss the McLovin Oven, the C-cup is great; great coffee & Lee’s Donuts! Hooray!!!”

“Delicious boba tea! I had the Coconut milk tea with boba and my husband had the mango fruit with boba. This was our first time here! It was busy when we walked in with lines for those wanting to get there bubble / boba tea. There was a great menu of options to choose from and a nice sitting area to relax, and enjoy the drinks. Staff were quick and busy filling in the orders that were coming in. This is located in Chinatown near the Chinatown square. Great spot and delicious boba teas! We will definitely come back when we visit this area again!”

“I've been here three times in the past year and have been wowed each time. The employees are always nice and accommodating. The food is perfect each time, the bathrooms and restaurant itself are very clean, and the space is welcoming! That's saying a lot from someone who worked in a lot of restaurants over the years and can easily spot issues. Bagels are chewy, thaw nicely after being in my freezer for a bit, and make excellent sandwiches. Thank you for the Windex and cleaning up my water bottle catastrophe ;)”

“Everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful. Its my 1 stop for supplements”

“Everything was delicious. The Beef with Fresh Vegetables had tender beef and the dish was not heavy on the onions. Excellent! Loved the eggrolls, great flavor. The house fried rice was equally as good.”

“I’m a big smash burger guy & who doesn’t like cheese fries. Decided to give it a try & just straight to the penta smasher. Even with all those patties, the burger was juicy but still had that nice char crunch to the ends. The fries were surprisingly good with the Pepperoncini’s & overall just good fries.”

“I went to buy 4 al pastor tacos around 8pm, Mary was my server. She seemed very sad, irritated, and said a bad word in Spanish of which I understood. I received most of the rest of the service by another server with black hair. I enjoyed the food and music. But please be more friendly to your community. Thank you!”

“Hi, ordered for my team at work. The manager was very nice, pleasant to talk with, and handled my order well. Provided plates and utensils, forks and serving. I provided him with a headcount and he put together a complete meal for the team at a very reasonable price. If looking to feed your team, check out their catering menu or give them a call. Will definitely be ordering from them again.”

“I have to shout out the kid who was working December 13 at 4pm. You were polite, friendly, and despite serving both the counter and the drive thru, you didn’t get flustered and acknowledged everyone’s patience. Thank you for being so kind when I called looking for a cake for my daughter after another location chose not to tell me they were out of stock of what I’d ordered and already paid for (to anyone reading, STAY AWAY FROM THIRD LAKE LOCATION). You helped me make sure my daughter had the cake she wanted for her 18th birthday. I appreciate your willingness to serve others!”

“The garlic parm fries are addicting… so tasty!!!”

“Everything was excellent!!!”

“My wife and I totally enjoyed their food. We were a bit surprised to see that the AYCE went up to $28.99. We will go back.”

“The best margs and Palomas around. The homemade tortillas are killer. I haven't had anything here I didn't like”

“Great service, good food. Had the liver and onions and enjoyed it.”

“The pho is delicious and flavorful. The pork in the Banh mi is super good! Great prices here n they take cash only to keep prices low. There is a ATM inside for convenience.”

“Great time last night good all of this world remember when grandma used to make it”

“Always a good time and food is always on point. Love it”

“We enjoy this local Mexican restaurant. Great food, casual and fairly priced. Family friendly too!”

“🍔🍺 Stopped by Mickey Finn’s Brewery to grab a burger and enjoy a beer. The atmosphere was pleasant, and it’s a great little local spot to hang out. Unfortunately, the service was slower than expected, with the beer taking a while to arrive and refills coming pretty late as well. The burger was decent, although the fries were a bit overcooked. 😊 Overall, it was an okay experience with a nice vibe, but there’s definitely some room for improvement before I’d give it five stars.”

“Food was delicious and staff very friendly,food came out quickly”

“Sharon, you rock! From the PA lady that stopped in with her Lib bestie. Alecia Keys, Pitbull and Blue Moons. Wish I lived closer. See you maybe in Dec. Don’t ever let him sell this treasure trove! Love this place. A pub in a parking lot!! I’d buy it in a heartbeat!! 🥰🥰🥰. Sandi Withan-i”
