“Our band played at Whiskey River on a Friday and we had dinner and drinks there beforehand. Food was excellent, staff was awesome and very welcoming. Really cool crowd with a noticeably wide age range, everyone had a good time.“

“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!“

“the owner is amazing! my first time ordering here, I thought i placed the order for delivery, instead it was for pickup. I called and the owner answered, I explained i didn't have a car at the moment and he personally delivered the order himself. I tried to give him a tip and he refused. the food was great and still hot by the time we received it. we will definitely be ordering again! thank you so much!“

“Fantastic experience. Food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back.“

“Great Bar Great owner great bartenders“

“Social Junkie is one the top 3 best bars in the dunning area. I’ve been coming here since they rebranded and it’s always been a fun time! Great drink selections and their food is outstanding. I’ve tried a couple of different items from their menu over the years and I recently got their Parma burger and fries. They were both delightful and it’s one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. I can’t explain it, but the taste was so unique and also very affordable compared to other bar and grills in the city. It’s a worth a visit when you are in the dunning area!“

“Es un lugar muy agradable de ambiente acogedor y buen ambiente.“

“Great service and extensive menu.“

“Alley 64 has a great menu, a fun an accommodating staff! We had a semi-surprise party in their back room! They were so helpful, let us set up early, refrigerated a cake for us, had appetizers out super quick! There was probably about 40 of us and the bartenders/waiters were awesome… it was a huge success! Definitely think of Alley 64 for a group/party options!“

“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!“

“Always Amazing and fun!!!!!🤩“

“Amazing place - first time here - Nichole was an amazing bartender- will be back with the family soon“

“Great food with friendly staff“

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

“I told my friends about this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I visit this place often. This recommendation is always successful. The the cooking is fantastic and the crew is generous and cooperative. Whenever we visit this place we enjoy a gorgeous evening. warmly recommended.“

“I Travel frequently for work, i got. A local tip about this place and man. It did not disappoint anytime. I'm in the area. I will come back. I tried multiple dishes over multiple days. And they were all to die for the owner has a way around the grill and smoke. The beef ribs were delicious. I'm from Texas and man.The barbecue compares to home definitely going to hit this spot up anytime I move there“

“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.“

“Sorry for the delay in posting this review. A crashed hard drive, misplaced travel notes and life got in the way. Erik had lunch here on August 3, 2020. This place is pricing which is understandable as it is in the airport. Service was friendly and efficient. Erik had the Chicago Dog meal. Two hotdogs with fries. They were delicious. Poppy seed bun, sport peppers the works. Very good. Pricey but to me worth it.“

“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.“

“Awesome spot at the end of F gate. I stopped there today on 10/23/25 on my way through the airport for my connection. The food came out crazy fast. The cook was awesome. The staff was talkative and polite. The food was great. Only complaint that I had was the place is small. I wish they had more seating, but for a quick stop and go, it’s great. I highly recommend the 1/2 lb bacon cheeseburger. The fries were crispy and plentiful. Honestly some of the best food at an airport, especially considering the speed and quality.“

“It’s a fun out going place“

“It's a very clean bar. But I did notice all of the tables had precariously dangerously high boy top style chairs. And this isn't good if you've had a few. The booths are a safe bet, with the kitchen and bathrooms close by. I hsd hoped they have pizza so the families can socialize and friends could meet during the day. And for it to use the night, where it might have a 21 and over rule, clearly . I don't know,that was left unclear. It was a place without the loud music and jousling environment of an actual bar. There are plenty of small nooks, one video game, or three. Also one large 80 inch television for the family. Though I did not eat Whike It looked invisible from the outside, inside offers a comfortable humble environment that should be a quaint experience for all ages.
I'm all in for good times, music games and a lot of fun.“

“Just moved here to des plaines and cannot be more appreciative of any bar, this one by far is my favorite, the ppl, the drinks the food, and the exquisite service.. there is nothing ‘at 7 bar’ doesn’t give to their customers! Michelle is amazing and does her job as if she is two people, idk how, but she makes it happen!“

“Great vibe, good drinks and the music is always awesome !!! -VSL“

“Food and service was amazing!“

“Great food, fun atmosphere, nice staff. but... on 11/20/24 there were THREE cover all bingo winners - only one won the trip... each winner should have got a trip to Vegas. How often do you have multiple winners in a coverall, let alone three of them????“

“saludos De parte de sonido #TIMBALA“

“Excellent omelette! 3 eggs and good ingredients. The coffee was fantastic. Not bitter! Even Black. Second time I've visited because last visit was really good. Oscar gets 5 stars for excellent service. Tending the patrons. Enjoyed the breakfast ya'all.“

“BBQ Burger was delicious ! Fries that came with pretty ordinary however . Drink was a bit weak but believe the waitress made it as I saw no regular barkeep“

“Today I sat at the bar to have a drink between flights. A discreetly drunk woman casually stumbled up to the bar.

The bartender tells her she could only have a “seltzer” water.. then she asks for wine.. He said sorry I only have a “seltzer water but I’ll give you a lime on it”.

The way this bartender completely diffused a drunk lady without any problems in the bar. He was so extremely professional and preemptive in his work.. Good on him for reading the room and holding it down. I think his name was Oscar.“
