The food was good, and the restaurant’s eating area was clean. The boys did say the men’s restroom could use some freshening up. I do recommend this Denny’s and we hope to visit again.“

“We sat outside for the first time. It was lovely. Server was great, never forgot about us. The drinks were perfect for a summer night.“

“well I'm really torn on if I should recommend or not... most of the time the food is fine but when it comes to fundraisers they are really really horrid. let's put a box out and not put anything on the box so the majority of the people have no idea about tossing their receipts in there for a cause... im pretty sure they make enough money where they can put something on the boxes for the customers... if they are so scared about losing money don't even bother... yesterday I was there around 4 and not one person threw a receipt in the box.. I was the first.... second fundraiser and second time unless you already knew, had no idea about it.. .“

“Visiting the area and family wanted us to try their brews as one of their favorites. Tried a flight of 10 beers and favs were Tangerine Trackstar, Toxic Words, Lucifer in a haze, Immoveable King, Nuban overlord and the top one Here comes the reaper. We also had the Pretzel and queso for snacks. They were very good and fast. They also had ice tea which is not always available at breweries. I will say the art work gave me pause and some of the names being a Christian but I don't know the background to comment.“

“I scheduled an event here sight not seen on August 31st for a 65th Birthday Celebration. This place is a hidden gem. Absolutely gorgeous. The room is spacious yet can be very intimate. Thank you so much to Ms. Evelyn Randle and Ms. Arika for taking care of me. The CVS Class of 1977 raved about this place all while we were there. We are scheduling our next event. Look out for Ms. Evelyn. Thank you guys once again. P.S, I would give it 6 stars but you are only allowed 5.“

“Have you ever been in a situation? Where you ask your significant other… “ what do you want to eat?” And they respond with “I don’t care just pick something.” Well that was the case with hotspot on Halsted. When I pulled up, I knew that it was a typical traditional food spot so I came in with the mindset of let me try something super traditional, so I looked at the menu and something peaked my interest, and it was the Mexican style hotdog, I wish I had a picture to show, but I devoured it so fast that I don’t think I had enough time to take it. It was so delicious My Wife ordered the burger and she enjoyed it thoroughly as for service. I do have to say it was better than I expected, and by My Wife being bilingual it made it super easy to order to get the service proper service. I definitely will stop by and grab the same thing I had before and maybe try something else but in my book“

“Staff is amazing. Customer service is HARD don't let anyone tell you otherwise and they always come off as being genuinely welcoming and friendly. I've never had an experience at this location where it felt like they were having a tough day - and that's hard to do in the service industry.“

“Excellent Food and Service. Great prices too especially for the portion sizes .“

“butter burgers are delicious along with the crinkle cut fries“

“Great Polish food and great service“

“We ordered the cod dinner on 1/29 and it was delicious. However, when we sat down in a booth we noticed an elderly lady struggling to walk up the icy sidewalk from the parking lot. When the young man brought our food we told him about it and suggested someone spread salt on the area. He was nice and thanked us for mentioning it. However, in the 45 minutes we sat there no one followed through and actually salted the sidewalk. Not good, Culvers.“

“I ordered hoagies & a ham & italian beef baked potato. Everything was really good but the Italian beef baked potato was the bomb!!“

“Friendly and efficient staff. Good food.“

“Great specials!!!!!!!! Great service!!!!!!!“

“My food was good, but two people at our table said that biscuits were terrible.
I wish they had better plant based options. A quinoa, kale bowl? How about at least adding mushrooms to it? With huge variety of plant based proteins available, I am surprised to not see them on the menus of most restaurants.“

“The best baked potato soup I’ve ever had. & that strawberry cheese cake? Fire af. I get both every time I come down here. The guys who run the register are always so sweet even when they’re busy. They stay busy af all the time so these 1 star ratings are clearly from people who had 1 bad experience. My boyfriend & I are here at least once every couple of months & we’ve only ever had to be refunded once & management gave us a cash refund & offered us something different for free… no questions asked.“

“went there for the 1st time last Saturday for Nomad Planet show . Fantastic venue ! Very cool vibe great art work really good food ..had a taco and amazing pulled pork slider that was huge and delicious. We look forward to future shows ! we'll definitely be back .“

“Cream of mushroom soup is good. Home made soups are good. The breaded tenderloin sandwich with mashed potatoes was good. Showed up a bit weird though. The breaded tenderloin was on top of the bread with mashed potatoes and gravy to the side. The entire dish was then covered in brown gravy. There was no way possible to make a sandwich, but I cut it all up together and ate it as a mix. It was still good.“

“The cheese on the burger wasn't melted at all. The fries were medium warm, and the employees' uniforms were all over the place, dirty and sagging and let's not get on these ladies' hairstyles. Multi colored hair. Long weaves. All with zero hair nets.“
