“The food was delicious as always, and the service was great. Tina was an excellent waiter. The Alpine omelette had a lovely flavor and the Door County Melt with Gluten Free bread was remarkable. The coffee, however, tasted like it was on the burner too long. One of the pleasant features of coming to Egg Harbor was the flavor of the day coffee and we’re disappointed that they no longer carry that. The specialty coffees do not make up for that. As a plus, they have a gluten-free menu and offer it upfront.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free“
“This is a great store with great health options. Seeing all these 1 star reviews because they don't require masks is kind of sad on the part of those leaving reviews. It's a private establishment - respect it or go home but don't write reviews behind a screen.“
“The service was exceptional, just as one would anticipate from a higher-end restaurant. Ryan, our server, demonstrated politeness, expertise, and patience regarding our dietary restrictions. He was attentive and tailored his suggestions to our preferences. The food was delicious.“
“The atmosphere for New Year's Eve was lively and loud to be sure. Entering through a back door into a narrow space was odd and not the most welcoming set-up, especially having parked on the street along Milwaukee Ave. The dining area was comfortable, aside from a couple guests who were loud and could be heard from several tables away. Service was good and pleasant though robotic and somewhat forced. The gentleman refilling water was superb and always on his game! We never had less than half a glass full---much appreciated! We came to Chrissoulas, having read excellent reviews. The food was good, including the pasta with chorizo and octopus and gyro. The pork medallions were only three, however, with a whole lot of salad, leaving one guest in our party inadequately full and value for the money poor. Menu options were overpriced in general though not outrageous. Two televisions playing sports over the bar did not seem in keeping with a fine dining establishment, but rather with a sports bar. Overall Chrissoulas was a decent experience with good food but not deserving of the amazing reviews seen elsewhere---a solid 3-4 stars out of 5.“
“Austin’s blew me away. An amazing jumbo shrimp cheesy pasta dish. I opted for the added protein (shrimp); yes!!! Austin’s is ‘famous’ for their steaks. Well, everything is great! And the shows, well, they’re so much fun too ?Five stars no doubt ? ? ? ? ?“
“Love the regular/season menu of this place. Your stomach fills up but not your heart. The casual vibe is inviting. It can get busy but a few minutes wait gets you a table. The bar is sweet deal too. Still to explore the wknd club upstairs - looked fun with local youngsters. Oh the staff is very very nice and accommodating.“
“Good place that has their own actual chef that is consistently on par with the menu and up to date changes based on seasons and holidays. Food is great. Beer and wine wall is great. Games are great. Overall 5 out of 5 and highly recommended.“
“Adam is the owner and strives to bring the community together through great coffee and experiences. You can’t help but to feel right at home in the shop and you’ll always find more than just great coffee- pastries, food, art or even make a new friend! There’s also a running club that meets every Wednesday and Saturday at 6am. Everyone is welcome!“
“We had our wedding reception at The Barrel Room @ Harbor Brewing Company, Lake Villa.Firstly, let me say that the staff is incredible, passionate, and extremely supportive. Not only do you sense that when you are enjoying the public bar facing Cedar Avenue, but you feel that especially when you host a private event in their premier entertainment space: The Barrel Room.We worked with Alyssa from start to finish. She is an incredible person, helping us every step of the way. She made incredible suggestions to us, relieving a lot of our stress from the experience, which you cannot put a price on.The overall atmosphere is incredible. What they were able to achieve with their beautiful space is going to liven up downtown Lake Villa.We held our ceremony at Lehmann Park and our catering was from Galati's next door to HBC. (Please check out Galati's and my review for them.)Between Harbor Brewing and Galati's, downtown Lake Villa has two 'anchor' establishments that will surely cultivate an incredible future. My wife and I will be visiting often to enjoy a pint and some of the best Italian food from Galati's.Thank you, to the HBC staff. Thank you to Alyssa.Our wedding could not have been what it was without you.“
“We stopped at this place for lunch recently. Very good food and fast service. Everything is reasonably priced compared to other hotdog places. Portions are very generous and fries are perfectly crispy. Cheese sauce on side was great and not watery, gyro was perfect and grilled chicken sandwich was very juicy. Would highly recommend it and will definitely be back“
“This restaurant/bar boasts a charming ambiance and an eclectic menu. The entire staff was delightful, and our server was particularly kind. The Bloody Marys were spot-on. The food was delicious and served in generous portions. Leaving room for dessert was a great decision, as we absolutely loved the Huckleberry Pie.“
“The first time I ever went, I went with a few friends that recommended it to me. I usually don’t like milk tea, but kopa had a smoothie option that I absolutely loved. The boba was chewy but I liked it. When I went for the first time I got to write on the chalkboard and that was a happy experience for me being able to have someone read what I wrote and have a better day. Every time I get the chance to go, I go. This place gives me exceptional drinks that I absolutely love and good vibes whenever I go. I have never had a bad experience here and I would recommend this place to anyone I meet. The staff here have been so kind to me and will take full responsibility if my drink was made wrong. I love going here and would 10/10 guide someone to this amazing place.“
“Good selection of beers as well as some ciders and meads which gives everyone a chance to enjoy something. Food at the Round Lake Beach location is available at the Pizza place in the same plaza who will bring your food to you at the bar. Loved going on DJ Bingo nights, Jesse is the best!! She provides a great welcoming atmosphere and knows how to take care of you. All around great spot to go to.“
“There is a reason the line is always long here, the ice cream is amazing and it is affordable for the whole family. It may take you a few visits to perfect your order, but it is well worth it. I always go for the PB Sundae with chocolate ice cream.“
“I cannot state this with enough enthusiasm. This place is INCREDIBLE. The food is outstanding, unlike any other restaurant in the area. As for this place being RACIST?!? That reviewer either clearly did not go into the restaurant or they just want to cause controversy, as they have people of all races WORKING THERE and the staff is treated very well, like they are all family! That comment is clearly insane and looking for attention. Back to my review. The spaghetti with sausage is so authentic and delicious, the tomato bisque soup is clearly homemade and delicious! The mediteranean salad is mindblowing. This is truly authentic, homemade food and all seasoned PERFECTLY. We are always loyal customers of Lauretta's and will definitely be back!!!“
“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.“
“This was my first visit to Greg's Frozen Custard and I was impressed. I didn't know why my GPS was redirecting me through a neighborhood (Pleasure Drive - lol), but you have to enter off South Lake (by Auto Zone). We drove up and it was one of those stand-alone structures that you occasionally see (like a big ice cream cone) that are usually popular for the novelty. The flavor of the day was butter pecan. I ordered a scoop of butter pecan and added hot fudge and whipped cream. I was surprised by how thick and creamy and rich the custard was. The hot fudge was also thick, not a thin syrup, and this was a decadent treat. There were plenty of pecans in the custard. My friend had the chocolate custard and that was thick and rich with a satisfying flavor. We liked that the custard isn't overly sweet. There were just a handful of customers when we arrived but shortly thereafter the parking lot started to fill up. There is a gazebo with some seating but this was a rainy spring evening so we ate in the car. Now that I know you're here, Greg's Custard, I'll be back to try your other flavors.“
“My wife and I randomly discovered this place, and it didn't disappoint! We were hoping to find a chill spot to grab a drink with low-key vibes, and this was exactly the place we were looking for. They have fantastic beer, easy-going nature, and it just feels like a place you want to hang. They have an awesome array of board games which we love, and took part in. We had to cut the night short but it was a spot we could have stayed for hours. We now know exactly where to hit up next time we go to Highwood!“

“My daughter wanted an ice cream so we ran in, she played the clawGame and didn’t win, no worries, better luck next time- as we turned around the gentleman had a prize waiting for her anyways. A small act that made our day. Thank you for the hospitality! Looking forward to ordering next week as well! :)“
“Excellent food and people. We are from TX and are big into BBQ. I was worried about even trying BBQ in the Chicago area since we're almost food snobs when it comes to this. Thanks to some of the previous reviews we gave it a shot and were in no way disappointed. The brisket is exceptional here, I won't say it beats all I've ever had but it is absolutely top 5 and a welcome surprise for this far north. The rib tips are excellent along with them. I can't speak for the sauces as we couldn't have them, but that should just speak more volumes for the meat, it does to me at least. The staff are also pretty awesome, give this place a shot they won't disappoint you in the slightest.“
“Amazing bbq offered in the same building as truly unique and scrumptious beers and cocktails?! And live music?! Sign me up. I’ve been here quite a few times since finding this gem and I recommend visiting frequently for mental health purposes <3“
“My kiddos and I absolutely love to make a stop at Something's Brewing in Downtown Grayslake. Great atmosphere, friendly service and they have the best pastries in town for sure. Coffee is delicious too. This is a wonderful local business and I highly recommend it!“
“Good choice for toppings on vanilla or chocolate soft serve ice cream. Soft serve was good quality but instantly turns runny in mostly anything other than a cone (eg sundae). Personally I'm a custard guy though and would rather have ice cream flavors instead of toppings. Next time we'll have to try their shaved ice.“
“The owner helped me set up for a little party and it was fantastic. The pizza was awesome everybody was so friendly and helpful come check out this place !!!! We'll be back It's a really nice place to order food and drinks .Thank you“
“Th Rail House has become my absolute favorite place to enjoy good food, good drinks with the greatest company with the bartenders, Alex, Jess and Mari. This place passes the vibe check, no judgement zone, accepts everyone as long as you don't act a fool! If you're looking for good food and an amazing drink you have to order their wings with the rail house sauce and the "Alex", the best combination.“
“It was my first time here, but I had heard a lot about this establishment. Excellent service, recommendations on choosing cakes or pastries. While I was here, I noticed that a lot of regular people came. The atmosphere here is warm. Choice of coffee ☕️ or tea ☕️ - milk or cream. You can also pre-order for a specific date.Parking: We parked without any problems and were able to visit this wonderful place“

“I have visited this location multiple times and I am always greeted very well by the staff. I've tried the shakes and they are AMAZING!! It does not have a traditional protein powder taste that is bad, they are genuinely good! They have other options like coffees and teas that look great as well. The inside is well decorated and super cute. The only bad thing is their hours of operation are always changing so if you're planning on going, check out their Instagram to see what their hours that day is. Times listed on here are not accurate.“
“This place seemed as if it was an upscale sports bar. Plenty on tvs to view games, but above that was the food! I was very surprised at how everything tasted, making me savor that last bite. Cocktails ? were pleasant and just the overall presentation. If you are in the area, definitely make a stop and try this place. The fried alligator was a hit!!“
“A 1st timer to this specific Marriott Hotel. Stayed here from March 12-15, 2024, to attend a Navy Boot Camp Graduation ceremony. Great service at the Front Desk! Room was a little smaller than expected even with a King Size Bed in there. Sink water was hecka murky for some odd reason! And the water itself was so slow coming out of the faucet and shower! The Cable TV didn't have that many channels on it at all. Didn't get a chance to go to the Fitness Center or Pool during the stay. Maybe next time if around the area. A lot of different places to eat at, however, most of the sit-down restaurants are pricey and portions are small. Fast food joints like Raising Cane's is there, a Hibachi Buffet and others. And stores such as Walmart, Marshalls and Target are around the hotel, too. The Gurnee Outlet Mall is nearby as well...“
“Went on a whim on Friday and had a great experience with Lizzie. She was patient and super helpful when making recommendations. Literally everything she suggested was to die for. Can't wait until I'm back in the area ....... making sure Lizzie is working before heading in!“
“Great beer (the only thing you really need), and it definitely has the low-key vibe you seek. While it is a small space, they make it work and have every board game you can think of. I even take my kids occasionally since they can play with games. Fun spot, check it out.“
“If the coffee doesn't wake you up, the baristas certainly will with their upbeat positive energy! Definitely the friendliest Starbucks team I've encountered.Super refreshing to receive that kind of treatment ESPECIALLY in a drive-thru so early in the morning. Thank you!“
“This place is HOME! I live out of state and everytime I’m back to visit the fam for the holidays, my best friend and I make a point to stop in an have a few pints. The service is always stellar, the vibe is always fun and the beer is always delicious! Can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! The new renovations just add to an already-above-and-beyond experience! <3 thank you, Tighthead!“
“Really enjoy this restaurant, particularly their patio! I’ve actually never bothered dining inside. Love taking our dog out to dinner — it’s like her special occasion restaurant. Plenty of menu variety, even the pup meal includes a choice of chicken or burger, white or brown rice. My favorite dish is the Tex Mex salad. The outdoor atmosphere has great vibes… big fire pit in the middle, side ‘walls’ that roll down in the inclement weather, tvs showing the best sporting events.“
“When you first, enter Stevens, you notice How nicely decorated it is inside. Classy and tasteful without being too fancy or cold modern. The service, from being warmly greeted to the very end was excellent. I was there with a larger party. Everyone raved about their food.. We ordered the oysters. They were massive!! And really good. I had the red snapper. Extremely tasty. Would absolutely order that again. Highly recommend Stevens.“
“A nice Sunday afternoon day at Long Grove This is a very cute place with cute decor gas mini fire places sports TV . The waitress Dawn was very nice and patient while we made our decisions The food was excellent I Talia. adding soup with oyster crackers . Stuffed mushrooms the best. They have a great full menu The pizza looks good too . Italian choices are many . Will come again I've been going to Long Grove since 1969 Hope it picks up Oh yes Gender free restroom“
“I ordered a regular Hammie for lunch. When it came, it was a "SkinnyHammie." instead. The store manager, a very nice young woman,had my order remade and did not charge me for either one. I thinkshe deserves a "thank you"for being gracious.“
“Very large and friendly brewery. Mostly Ballast point beer, hard to complain about fresh top tier west coast brews. Increasing their own Kings and Convicts brews, larger scale than local microbrews but remain high in quality and prices are very fair. Golf simulators for this inclined. Very family and dog friendly.“
“As a wedding photographer, Buffalo Creek Brewing offers a charming and unique setting for weddings in the Chicago suburbs. The rustic yet elegant venue, combined with friendly staff, ensures a seamless experience for couples. With spacious indoor and outdoor areas, there are plenty of opportunities for capturing beautiful moments. It's an ideal choice for couples seeking a laid-back and distinctive wedding venue.“
“I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!The food is always incredibly good, authentic. The servers are always friendly, helpful and attractive. Margherita's are excellent. The holiday decorations were so much fun to look at and authentic. One of my favorite places for lunch.“
“Very impressed. Portions are huge and service was on point. Friends from Toronto were wowed by the huge appetizers. The nachos alone could feed 6. No really.Staff was also awesome and was rewarded with extra generous tip. Happily impressed with this establishment 100 yards away from our new home.Parking: Easy.“
“It's been a while since we've been here. Where have all the large pizza's gone?Is it just me or have they shrunk too?Granted we ordered all thin crusts (the pan style takes a bit longer) Our three kids get antsy waiting lol2 large (3 toppings), 1 medium (one topping), 1 personal size specialty (to go)1 lemonade, 1 rootbeer, 1 milk, everyone else water. Bill was $100. Every crumb of pizza was devoured, nothing to take home except the personal pizza to go.Parking: Smallish parking lot considering the size of the restaurantKid-friendliness: It's a wide open two level restaurant. The top level has a train track“
“Solid breakfast choice in the area, which isn't as dense with options some of the areas a bit closer to the city or the Palatine/Arlington Heights area. The restaurant is pretty large and not super busy on a Sunday morning. The decor really pushes the rooster and almost farmhouse style theme throughout. Portion sizes are fairly large and prices are a bit higher than what you'll find elsewhere but still reasonable. Food here was pretty good, I didn't care much for the specialty coffee drinks but find the breakfast options to be quite solid. I like the spongy feeling of the waffle french toast which tastes fairly eggy and has a unique texture that was enjoyable. The corned beef skillet was fairly balanced in terms of protein and potatoes, with plenty of corned beef. It wasn't overly salty, though it seemed like an additional element could've helped to tie the different components of the dish together. The egg white delight omelette was quite large and airy and prepared quite well, this is a nice healthy option when served with a side of fruit. Overall, if you're in the area shopping at nearby Heinen's or Mariano's, this is a nice and convenient option. You can enjoy a meal here casually with friends and choose from a fairly varied menu.“

“This is my favorite place to stop when I’m in the Lake Forest area. The food and drinks are great, I’ve never waited for a table, and the service is outstanding. Grace T is the warmest welcome every time I come in. I specifically ask for her every single time because she makes it such a fun experience. She’s the best of the best! Great vibes on a Thursday evening, I’ll be back ASAP!“
“First time random choice visiting the area from Chicago. Obviously very popular (the best sign) with the locals and the food (and price) was great! So was service from busser to server to manager who checked in with us. Perfect casual spot!“
“It's the best pizza in Oconomowoc hands down. Being from Chicagoland Rosatis wouldn't normally make the list of desired pizzas but up here it's the closest you get to Chicago area pizza. Staff is friendly and food is consistent and good. Only wish they would put out more coupons or offer pizza packages to make it a little less expensive. They also won't accept coupons from any other Rosatis locations, even the one in Pewaukee.“
“Huuuge sausage slice,side of fries and a can of pop for 7.22 after tax.... Wow. Wow wow . I didn't see a wheelbarrow by the door but i just about needed one to leave after eating... .. also very short walk from freightliner truck repair shop!!!“
“Atmosphere is so welcoming and food is amazing! Friendly staff, makes you feel welcome. Mike, Jackie, Sharon, Hillary and Kate have served us multiple times and they could not be more helpful and polite! have highly recommend this establishment to many friends and they found a similar experience!“
“Have been coming to Wright’s for years. Always enjoy the food, seating, and overall atmosphere. Service is great, and just a great restaurant all in all. I personally always get the burger, as it is Wright’s speciality. The french fries are equally as amazing. Highly recommended for a good night out.“
“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“
