“Amazing brewery and restaurant passionately run by all staff and owners. Knowledgeable, creative, and lovely head bartender, Mo, is a shining example of what a cocktail guru should be. Unparalleled experience all around, from the food to the award winning beers and everything in between. You’re not cool if you don’t frequent this fine establishment! So watch out, and stay tuned, because TBC is making big moves.”

“With new Korean places popping up in Vernon Hills, this place is still a family favorite. The food is home-cooked and super authentic — not to mention several dollars cheaper than alternative K-restaurants. The mom-and-pop vibes are real, and we’re always greeted with big smiles. Will be back :)”

“Nice place recommend this place. Nice assortment of beers. In downtown Mundelien. Owner bartender gives nice background of the styles.”

“Great food, friendly staff, low prices…what’s not to love?”

“We got the October specials. Pasta and meatballs for two. It was only $9.99, and it was good. I could have used a bit more sauce on the pasta. But it is good and hot too.”

“I'm changing my previous review do to the fact that after trying their fresh polish kielbasa, it has too much pepper for my taste. Annia's Polish Deli in Round Lake Beach is much better.”

“Friendly staff, excellent food and fair prices. We ordered the Bulgolgi table top BBQ, the Chapchae and the Haemul Pajun; all fantastic. We will definitely be back!”

“Great local spot in Mundelein! The owners are great, food is amazing and the craft beer and cocktail selection is great! My personal favorite is the steak salad. Now that summer is here the patio is fantastic!”

“It's a convenient place to dine when staying at the hotel. The menu is very limited and provides your basic food distributor options. The ladies who were bartenders my first week there were great. On my return trip, there was a gent behind the bar, and he was not remotely close to as friendly or prompt as the ladies (one was in training-1st night) .”

“Delicious, authentic food. This place is an absolute gem. Not your typical run of the mill menu items. Homemade and fresh. A great vibe inside. And their server Erick is top notch.”

“Very good authentic food. The sweetest owner!”

“All of the ready made food is awesome! I travel about an hour just to come here. I have no idea what I buy is called because it is not written in English, but it is well worth pointing and saying I'll take two of those. They have pork covered in in mushrooms and cheese. There are rolls that are stuffed with spinach and cheese (I think?) , whole cooked fish, delicious desserts and so much more. You won't be disappointed. I always bring extra back to share with our friends.”

“A little slice of home while I’m living in the Midwest. No one does it better out here. Not many do it better in Philly.”

“Such great food! Love the Cup Bap with clear noodles and spicy pork. Yum!!”

“The Greatest Custard In The World in texture, taste and freshness! Greg is a genius of a restauranteur and the nicest guy you're ever going to meet!”

“Excellent pulled pork and brisket. Great friendly service. We ordered a catering order and our guests loved the food. First time trying them and will be back. Best of all they were grateful for our order and super friendly. Thank you Smokin on 45!!!”

“I love all their baked goods and I don't have to worry about possibly getting sick from gluten or dairy contamination!”

“Delicious food !! Great service.”

“They've got the best vegetarian burritos.”

“Deeeelicious! Everything on the menu is awesome. Nikko’s Burger, gyros, beefs!”

“For $2 more than Jewel, and $1 more than Mariano's, the combo poke bowl was amazing! Easily 3x the toppings, fresh toppings and rice! Really good tuna and salmon. No more grocery poke for me!”

“When you think of Mexican-American food, Maya's is the benchmark. Mundelein has a good variety of Mexican restaurants and without a doubt when you are looking for a variety of dishes, quality and quantity you will find it here. A restaurant with a family atmosphere and where the owner always takes care of the quality of his dishes.”

“Got my brother’s 21st birthday cake here in July 2023 & needless to say, it was beyond our expectations! We showed them the inspo & they made it even better. It not only looked good, but it tasted delicious!! Definitely going to order all my custom cakes for any occasion from here & will recommend them to everyone!⭐️”

“En Realidad esta super deliciosos La comida y sus servicios y sasones Auténtico 100% Mexicano. Y Recuerden recordar es volver a vivir....”

“I picked up a Piña Colada rum cake today and it was absolutely delicious. I took it to a family gathering and it was a hit! Nana was super sweet! I own a small cake and cupcake business and I shared this place on my own business page. Was way to delicious and had to tell everyone we know!”

“Good ol hot dog style food spot. Hot dog was great and curly fries were awesome. The house made Suicide sauce was soooo good. Didn't get wings but asked for the hot sauce on the side to try and the awesome woman behind the hooked it up! Will definitely go back and try the wings!

Parking: It's there in their lot”

“This restaurant is 5 stars just off the bat. The food/presentation is amazing. Nothing to complain about whatsoever. The employees/servers are INCREDIBLY nice and treat everyone with respect, care, and great service. The atmosphere looks incredible too. It feels like you are actually in Mexico. I would totally recommend for anyone in the area. It is worth it.”

“Always a fun time at Oak Trail.”

“The service was amazing and the food was outstanding❤️”

“Great place to hang out in the summer. Outdoor bar, pool, volleyball. It’s a good time. Their chicken tenders appetizer is the best and no one can top their biscuits and gravy. I’m craving it just typing this. Servers are so friendly and nice.”

“very good skillets for a great price. High recommend if you are in the Mundelein area”

“la comida muy rica ...la señora que nos atendio fue muy amabla ..lo recomiendo !!!”

“Es la mejor comida mexicana que he comido en Illinois. La mejor cena Lingua Tacos y Lingua a la Mexicana que he comido.”

“Wonderful bakery, wonderful people. Delicious concha, churros, abanico, orejas, broca, tamales and MORE! Cakes from here are to die for & gorgeous; a must try!”

“A good option

Let's start with the food; They have quite a variety of food, good quality ingredients although nothing different or a reference point, I consider that their quality-cost-portion ratio is still in good balance, I would recommend perhaps improving the speed in food preparation a little .

Service, just good, nothing bad, nothing to highlight, it only remains as something that would not provide added value.

Regarding the environment, it is good, enough spaces for people, you can interact with the people you go to without any restrictions, you can go with your family, friends without any problem.”

“gracias por la decoracion y el sabor del pastel muy sabroso. recomendado al 100%.”

“Sabor inigualable, deliciosas.”

“Circa 2009 I had my best bowling season ever at these lanes finishing with a 212 average and shooting my very first and only 300 game on the very last game of the season.”

“Nice, well kept interior. Nice wood. Some good comfortable seats.”

“Great food & atmosphere. Definitely will be back.”

“Love Culver's every time I get it!

But, I wanted to shout out... I just used the recipe off of their website for their fish fry batter.

We have religious restrictions and don't eat red meat on Xmas Eve. So we do a fish fry instead.

Culver's is just a really great company, because they publish the recipe for their really great fish fry! The family was super pleased with how everything turned out.

Vegetarian options: Fried fish of several types. Fried onions. Fried cheese curds.

Dietary restrictions: Great options for pescatarian/vegetarian/folks observing Lent.”

“Pretty basic sit down location with Great food. Chips and salsa Included with meal and they were pretty good. Taco's were great, lots of flavors in both chicken and steak. Mexican coke was flat but they do offer it.”

“This Location was very clean with happy staffThey have a new employee he was very eager to take my order and very helpful! His name started with an A!I will be coming back to this ”

“awesome awesome ice cream”

“Friendly neighborhood bar. Fantastic hamburgers”

“Amazing, as a student of MHS I would always go here! So affordable, the people that run the place are amazing and have had conversations with me in the past. I always love the food and the portions. Would recommend too anyone and everyone.”

“What a place for great music and food and drinks!”

“Didn’t get food from the Golden Kitchen in a fairly long time. Today I was impressed by the one woman show on display, cooking, packing the food, taking orders, and being as gracious as always. The food is good and the place exemplifies the family business model. I’ll go back more often to ensure that places like this stay in business.”

“The best part about this is they had the Oaxaca tamales, which is my very favorite and they lived up to what I wanted. They had also the tortillas which were delicious as well. Looking forward to going back soon for more.!”

“I had a very large order with a couple special instructions and placed it late at night. The drive thru attendant was extremely nice and took her time to make sure everything I had ordered was correct. They deserve a bonus or a raise for the service I received tonight.”

“My more 'local' favorite Chinese take out place closed around 9 months ago (Chens in Palatine) and I've been looking for a new one since - after trying a dozen+ restaurants, I think this is the winner! It's a bit of a hike from lake zurich, but so worth it for good Chinese food! (I ordered our usual favorites: sesame chicken, pork lo mein, steamed dumplings, egg roll (and one that I don't always order with my kids, hot and sour soup). I have other favorites, but those ones are the "bare minimum" of "must be great")

(The Lo Mein - top right in the pic - is the one thing that I have been searching for someone else to get right since my last place closed.)

I also love that for the entree, for a small upcharge, you can swap the standard included white rice for a side of fried rice, or lo mein. We rarely ate much if any of the rice, but we will eat fried rice (lo mein as well, but I usually order that as a second entree!)”

“Best in the area! Alway fresh, hot & tasty! Beef lo mein-Cantonese style is my fav, beef is always tender and moist- and tastes like beef. Chicken fried rice is my chaser, tender chunks of chicken tastes great w/ a lil Soy sauce. *Egg rolls are made in store, fresh- many places have frozen ones shipped in. The only issue I encounter (Agee times) w/ the eggs rolls is they tend to overcook (look burnt) them, not a deal breaker but Hong Kong please take note *Pick-up only at this time due to COVID C***!”

“Went with 2 friends 2 of us had Lychee Flavor, 1 had Matcha with Black bubbles. Prices a bit steep, but it’s not an everyday place. It’s for special events! We’ll go back!”

“Very peaceful, great service and the thin crust was wonderful , as usual.”
