“Love this place, not enough to move to Illinois but if I did, I would be a regular. Thanks to our server/bartender for a great afternoon. We will be back when next in the area.“

“We have always enjoyed VT but this was poorly managed. We came in on a Wednesday and ask to sit at a booth. The booth they sat us at was right next to a party they had going on. And people were standing right at the edge of the booth and was extremely loud. Why they didn't put the party separated in the empty section by the bar would be more appropriate. It seems they were over the limit on the one side. So we asked to move to a booth that was empty. They said we couldn't move to that booth as it wasn't open. Needless to say we took our business elsewhere.“

“Had my daughter’s baby shower here and it was fantastic. The food was delicious and the staff were so attentive. Would come again!“

“Love outdoor options in the summer. Even with a crazy weekend of 56 Music Fix everything was on point with food and service. I loved seeing Chris step in and help anywhere and everywhere he needed to.“

“Salsa 17 has always been one of our families favorite restaurants. They have delicious food, great service and a casual fun atmosphere. Yesterday they went above and beyond for us. We were hosting a large party at our home and reserved a food truck from another business. 5 minutes before our party started we received a call that the food truck was not able to show up. I called Salsa 17 and with no notice they were able to cater a fajita bar for 40 people in just over an hour. The manager I spoke to was accommodating and so kind. The food was outstanding and plentiful. I highly recommend Salsa 17 for both in person dining and catering!“

“Z is an awesome cook & bartender!!! I highly recommend the Greek Fries & Chicken Panini. He is super nice jack of all trades. He deserves a big bonus!!!!“

“The food is great. Their Cream of Chicken soup is the greatest. Next time. I’m going to order a quart to go. Corned beef is excellent. Sliced very thin as it should be. Service couldn’t be better. Just wish I lived closer. But I will be back!“

“A friend whose taste I trust told me about this breakfast/lunch spot- glad he did. Tucked away in a small strip center , this is a gem I had eggs, crispy hash browns and delicious country ham. My wife had a very large gyros omelette She is a stickler for good coffee and said this place passes on her rating system Roomy booths and tables in a large room provide enough space for all Just go - you will love it“

“Lino and Christina were amazing, very friendly and very helpful. Both of them are very fast at the bar and get the orders in and to your table fast. 10/10 would recommend. The boneless wings were amazing and the atmosphere is great as well.“

“live just down the street from Lamp Lighters, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The food is always excellent—fresh, flavorful, and consistently satisfying no matter what you order. The atmosphere feels friendly and comfortable, like a true neighborhood gem.

A special mention goes to Amber, who’s not only incredibly attentive and professional but also genuinely kind and welcoming every time I stop in. She makes the experience even better with her great energy and warm personality.

If you’re in Palatine and haven’t been to Lamp Lighters yet, you’re missing out on one of the best local places around!“

“Great service and extensive menu.“

“I stopped by this place while waiting for an oil change nearby. The layout of the restaurant was really fun — you can see the ice rink right next to it, which felt straight out of a high school movie. I loved the classic American diner vibe. It wasn’t too crowded, which made it feel even more local and cozy.

There were claw machines and candy dispensers here and there, which added to the charm. The server was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered a drink, some chili, and a burger. The food wasn’t amazing, but it was decent. Overall, it’s a very chill place. I feel like it’d be a fun spot to stop by once in a while to grab a drink and hang out with a friend.“

“Beef with cheese best in chi“

“Great place to play pool have some cocktails and game.“

“Stopped in after a gig with my band….cool place to hang!“

“It was nice to see such a great handful of people that all got along! From the owner, staff, & patrons. I even got to run into one of my old Greek friends “nick” The owner is a great person who is truly blessed for having such an outstanding establishment & treating his guests like family keep up the great work primo“

“It’s a fun out going place“

“I was just there I've never seen this. what the dub on Tuesday was such fun. I really think that you'd have fun. What The Dubs??? where a part of a movie is on screen you have to pick you own style.to finish the movie scene. so much fun we all had a great time.“

“Excellent service and the atmosphere is great for game day vibes. Tons of seating so you can be a little more secluded if not feeling the crowd. Food was pretty solid. Been here a couple of times. The burger and tots were great. Wings not bad but nothing to write home about IMHO. Overall a great spot to grab a bite and watch a game.“

“Food and service was amazing!“

“A great atmosphere people have a great time 👍🏾👍🏾“
