“I’m not typically one to issue 5 star reviews. However, Buddy’z was on their A game on the night of 10/16/2025 and helped the wife and I celebrate our anniversary with two very tasty pizzas. We ordered a deep dish and a thin crust, both sausage, for delivery. Both pizzas were fantastic, had plenty of toppings, great taste, and they arrived quickly, despite having ordered a deep dish. It was actually a little nostalgic calling up a pizza place and placing an order. Not like these corporate pizza places that want everything done online via some Terminator on judgement day taking your order. Better yet? The woman who answered the phone knew what she was doing. I didn’t get the person on day 2 that was left alone on her own to hopefully survive.

I worked food service for almost 20 years in pizza so I know that everything just clicked last night. Now the only question that remains is consistency! Keep it up! We will see!

It all just gelled and it helped our anniversary be a great one.

Thanks buddyz. You’ll be seeing us again.“

“Such an awesome spot with incredible food and friendly service! If you haven’t tried their cheesecake of the day, you’re missing out—it’s always creative and absolutely delicious. I bake a lot of cheesecakes myself, and theirs never disappoints. Whether you’re craving a classic sandwich or one of their wild, over-the-top creations, Epic Deli always delivers.“

“Great place for breakfast“

“So many styles to choose from. Always hot and tasty! Highly recommend!“

“The best! Everything is fresh and amazing. Staff and owner treat u like family. AMAZING!!!“

“I don't think l've tried Pizza better than this in Illinois. We stopped off at Georgio's while taking a stroll through Downtown Crystal Lake and our stomachs started rumbling. I'd never been, but it got high remarks from family members. 4 of us stopped in around noon. The place was nearly empty, but l've heard it gets really crowded at night. The atmosphere was cute and clean, and our server was friendly. We split a Large (14") Pizza with mushrooms and sausage. It was really good, and filled all of us up. Crust was delicious, but it could have used just a tad more sauce. The atmosphere, service, food, and pricing were all very satisfactory, and there wasn't any issues, so l'm giving Georgio's a 5.“

“Delicious unique fare and cocktails. City vibe in the suburbs. Recommend the Vine margarita, braised short rib panini, and holy grail grilled cheese. We’ll be back to support this local restaurant especially because the staff is so friendly.“

“Great dairy free options!“

“1776 was a true delight! We spent the 4th of July here 🇺🇸. The food was truly an inspiration. Our waiter Josh was an absolute gem and sweeter than sorghum. We will return and request him as our waiter every time. Love this place.“

“Always a great meal! The pizzas are amazing and so are the salads. A must for everyone.“

“Jude’s offers small plates perfect for sharing with friends. The food choices are plentiful and reflect different culinary choices so they offer things you can’t get elsewhere in CL. The environment is warm and welcoming. Staff provide service that makes sure the experience is a good one.“

“EVERYTHING ☆☆☆☆☆+ and more!“

“We love Cary Dairy so much!“

“The sweet owner walked across the tracks this morning to give my daughter an avocado egg sandwich before taking the train to Chicago. He heard my daughter wanted one and he was so kind to Bring her one. Btw my daughter enjoyed it on the train! Thank you again for your hospitality!“

“Stopped here for my first time ever by using the Too Good To Go app and was surprised to see all of delicious options they have. I will definitely be going back to try out their salads. I got the Waldorf chicken salad wrap and it was delicious.“

“Our favorite ramen spot close to home! So happy their squash curry ramen is back! I’m been dreaming about it!“

“Best shaved ice around! Or add a swirl of ice cream on top for a real treat!“

“Family and I had some great food tonight. Large portions too. Will be back.“

“The cupcakes are creative and delicious! I like the carrot cake one with bunny ears, and the one with pink buttercream and the Cheshire cat grin.“

“Great place! Our party of 5 bellied up to the bar and had a great time. Jim our server and Scott the bartender made some great recommendations on drinks and apps. Watermelon margarita was the best one in the flight we had. The Tequilla Old Fashion was fantastic! Definitely made new friends and will be back often“

“it was my first visit there yesterday and all the food was absolutely outstanding! from taste to creatively being plated/presented was mouthwatering!! I highly recommend!“

“We had a great time! We went for a late birthday celebration for my fiancé. We did have a little wait even though we had a reservation. Our server Danny was great & so was the chef (I cannot remember his name), but he was incredibly funny!! Will definitely be back!!“

“Have been here a handful of times over the years. Recently went back and had the savory crepe for breakfast. It was so good I'm craving it again and that's saying a lot because Syrup has one that doesn't even compare.

Also, it was surprisingly not crammed on a Saturday morning and the service was very attentive with everyone helping each other out. As a former server, I look for that chemistry in waitstaff.“

“Was my first time eating sushi and was delicious, I am sure I will go there again, The service was excellent,“

“We’ve had a great experience at the Krystal Thai restaurant on a cold Winter night.
We started with a delicious hot Thai tea, with delicate notes of vanilla and we ordered a sampler platter as an appetizer to share. Everything was very fresh and tasty, but the “Crab in a bag” was outstanding. It could be served as an hors d’oeuvre at a diplomatic reception.
Our dinner followed with Mussamun Curry with beef, which was very aromatic and yummy, and Stir Fried Basil with pork, also full of flavor. The spice level was just as we ordered.
The service was friendly and attentive and the decor cozy and authentic.
We’ve moved recently to Crystal Lake IL and I’m happy to have such a nice dining option close to home.
Thank you and see you soon again.“

“i recently had a disappointing experience at a restaurant that I felt compelled to share. I went there for dinner with my fiancée, mother, and our two young kids, ages 3 and 1. Initially, the dinner was fantastic; we were enjoying our time together and the food was great. However, after about an hour and 20 minutes, we were abruptly told we had to leave because of other reservations. This was incredibly frustrating, especially since I still had my drink left, and we had just paid our tab As we were leaving, we encountered a manager and inquired about the situation. To our shock, she responded by asking if we knew how to read English, which felt incredibly rude and unprofessional. I pulled up my reservation online and nowhere does it say there was a time limit. To make matters worse, as we walked through the bar to exit, she followed my mother and physically shoved her three times. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in any establishment, and it left a sour taste in what could have been a lovely evening. We called the cops to make a report as the manager "lucy" (she told me this was her name) should never be able to touch a customer. Especially since we were not refusing to leave AND my kids were there to witness it all. In the car my son kept asking why the lady pushed my mom . This shouldn't be something I need to answer as it never should have happened. She tried telling the cops she did not have the "intent" to hurt but to get us out . Yet we were not even refusing to leave...only letting her know it was rude as we still had stuff that was unfinished that we paid for. I understand that restaurants have to manage reservations, but there are respectful ways to handle these situations. Additionally, she left it up to the waiter to tell us we had to leave . I won't be returning, and I hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision. And please , if you were in the bar / restaurant when this all happened , speak up on how wrong it was of her to push someone like that.“

“Always great service and excellent food! The pizza is the best!“

“It was a great visit for happy hour and our waitress Lani was the best ! She also made our drink in the bar and it was one of the best old fashioned I’ve ever had. We got 2 personal pizzas and meatballs for our appetizer. Great place to wind down after a busy day .“

“Had a blast watching MyMetalHeart
I didn't know there was a sit down restaurant upstairs. Others have said the food is really good there.
Updated review:
$3.50 for a can of pop, no more free refills.

Rewards program totally sucks. In September, I tried to load 3 receipts. They showed already loaded. My account did not show the receipts loaded.
So who loaded them?

Tried to log in to review my account, and it is completely jacked up. Cannot even log in or reset my password.
I was told today that servers ask you for your number? Since when. Asked my friends and they said never were they asked for a phone number, but they dont use the rewards program.“

“Great food, service wasn't bad but could've been better. Ordered an appetizer and a pizza but let her know we wanted a salad just didn't know which one yet. Got the app right away but got the salad less than 5 minutes before the pizza. Asked for a refill and she must not have heard me. So ate half my dinner without anything to drink. Super friendly and pleasant just not very attentive.“

“Ashley helped me choose exactly what I wanted & she was so extremely friendly!! The frozen pineapple float machine was broken, but right when it became working again, Ashley personally made me the frozen pineapple float (which i did pay for) & brought it to me. Thank you so much Ashley for being such a sweetheart!!! I felt great when I was there thanks to Ashley ♡“

“reasonable for the pasta!“

“This is one of a few times when I wanted to give the service a 10. When you’re greeted by such a fantastic and smiling cashier, Kaley, who is also the general manager then you know it’s going to be great!

The gyros were fantastic. The fries were some of the best I’ve had in a long time…so fresh! They mistakenly gave my wife regular fries when she wanted sweet potato fries, and switched it out without any complaining and big smiles!

If you haven’t tried out this place, you should!“

“We met my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters for lunch. My daughter-in-law arrived before us and said that Ethan had pulled together a table for our group, adjusted the blinds as it was warm in there and offered some broken cookies for the kids as they couldn't be sold. Another gentleman came and cleared some plates. The staff couldn't have been nicer. We enjoyed our lunch.“
