“Thanks to Edwin Arreola and his staff, my wife and I always have a great time when we come visit. For them to take their time to come say hello and make sure everything is going well, just let's you know how much they care about you. The service never disappoints. And to say the least, last Saturday, topped it all off with their awesome Colombian night! The food, drinks, and the performance of the band were amazing. We had so much fun. It definitely was one of our best date nights yet! If you haven't checked this restaurant out yet, trust me, you're missing out on a really great time!”
“Good ambiance! Good service! Great tasting quality food! Celebrated my birthday there night of December 15th, 14 of us ‘everyone had a Great time’! What stood out most was the warm hospitality and attention given to All. Definitely a night too remember! Thank you.”
“Siba was a terrific server. She offered excellent advice on what to order and was very friendly and fun to chat with!”
“We've had consistent excellent service every time we've dined there. Food is always perfect, servers are top notch, and everything comes together even during the busiest times.”

“This place is the cleanest and best fro yo around. The owner is amazing. Go there and support them. Staff is awesome and I finally know why. Freshest products/toppings.”
“The food is delicious! The chicken tikka masala is to die for, omg! Their food definitely satisfied my palette.”
“An amazing experience! We had Saturday lunch as a group of six, and everyone loved their food and drinks. With so many great options, it was hard to choose, but our server, Alexis, was absolutely phenomenal. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and guided us through our indecision with ease. Their exceptional service truly elevated the entire experience. Alexis was the highlight of our visit, and we’ll definitely be returning! French onion soup, shrimp grits, tempura cheese curds, cheesesteak, huevos rancheros, filet mignon sliders, Korean bbq bowl, espresso martini…. Literally everything was amazing.”

“Joseph and Javi were great. The food was delicious. It was our first time there so we didn’t know how it all worked but Joseph walked us through perfectly. The buffet was full of great choices, and the meats came out at a perfect pace. We will definitely be coming back again in the future.”
“OMGG I love this place. Best chain fried chicken BY FAR. My personal recommendation is the Hot level, as the medium is good too but the hot adds more to the flavor. Fries are surprisingly good for crinkle cut fries, and the sauce is great. The dude who took our order was GREAT - really made our day.
Vegetarian options: This place isn't gonna be great for vegetarians - it's a fried chicken place so that's really all they serve. No vergetarian meal options from what I know.”

“The restaurant is located inside the grocery store. I ordered the beef taco plate and it was very good. I read their beef tacos were delicious and the amount of food should also be noted. There were rice and beans under my tacos too. I was very full and pleasantly satisfied.”

“I like crumbl. However, as someone who competed in the Scripps national spelling bee, I just can't ignore the fact that crumble is spelled wrong. I mean, who really knows why they just left of the E. Like is it supposed to be CRUMB L like do I want my cookies to be in Crumbs and then take the L. Im just confused. I would really appreciate some feedback.”
“I wish I could give more stars. This place is absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere inside, the music but mostly the people working there are amazing. I went in for a quick lunch take out and walked out with more food than I had paid for. The ladies working there are great, and I thank you for the delicious recommendation. Will be visiting again soon for more Uzbek cuisine. It was my first time trying it and I loved it!
Parking: Plenty of parking in front of the restaurant.
Kid-friendliness: There is a play place for kids inside.”
“We visited for the first time tonight and our dinner was AMAZING! Everything was delicious and everyone was so kind and helpful - especially our server Divya! We ordered a ton of food and I’m already looking forward to leftovers tomorrow. If you like Indian food, visit soon - you will LOVE it!”

“The concept is excellent!
We were seated quickly even though we didn’t book a reservation ahead on a Friday night. Was so fun to try the different wines and enjoy the ambiance this unique experience has to offer. The only downside, we ordered aoli fries immediately upon being seated and sampled multiple wines about an hour in and the fries still had not arrived. Disappointed we had to ask for them to go, they were boxed up for us and removed from the bill. Good fries for sure but would have been even better eating them on location.”
“Most incredible beef shawarma I've ever had. Their pita sandwich was just remarkable. I used to go to naf naf and they changed and it was horrible so I am thrilled to find this new place. It's inside a most awesome grocery store. Definitely worth the walk over.”
“I was recommended this place by my coworkers and this is honestly the best chicken I’ve ever had at a restaurant in many many many years. Food is cheap, atmosphere is friendly, owner is super nice, they even have a selection of mild to spicy sauces that’s huge and some of them they even made themselves. That Yummi sauce sure is Yummy. Give this place a shot you won’t be disappointed.”
“Came here with a friend and ordered the strawberry jasmine! Pretty decent pricing, drinks were refreshing, super friendly staff 10/10 service, the corner window gets really nice lighting around the evening time, the chairs are comfy and cute, overall would stop by again when I’m nearby!”

“Son Los Mejores Tacos Que E Probado y Apesar de que están Muy Ricos Son Muy Limpios y Te Atienden Bien”

“I still remember my THAT first very early morning cup of coffee in 1987.
I was introduced to the place at Belmont and Clark in Chicago when they used to serve my favorite ONION donuts, and I was addicted to having it with plain cream cheese.
In time, I tried to upgrade to various high-end coffees, but unfortunately, those were not 'my cup of tea.'
Although they do not serve ONION doughnuts, I am still hooked on their taste of coffee. However, now I have changed my doughnut to be plain with vegetable cream cheese. Another great combo. Try it when you visit next time.”
“1st time there, food was delicious 😋 friendly staff. reasonable prices. keep up with good work 👏”
“My boyfriend and I love sushi and have tried places over the country. This was hands down the best sushi we have ever had. The owner was so kind and even gave us a special role to just try! The salmon was amazing. My favorite roll was The Grinch and his was That roll. We will be back again soon!”
“We entered the restaurant around 5pm and the tables were empty except for a couple people at the bar. We were asked if we would be done eating before 7 because they had reservations pending. The bartender made an excellent drink for us. The farm to table concept was the lure to come in but the food was okay. I tried to ask for salt and pepper but my server didn't return. We asked for hot pepper sauce but it never made it to the table. It wouldn't be my first for dinner but drinks definitely.”

“I had an incredible dining experience at White Crane Thai and Sushi in Naperville! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel right at home.
The sushi was absolutely amazing – the Rainbow Roll and Spicy Pacific Roll were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We also tried the Teriyaki Fried Rice, which was exceptional: perfectly cooked with a delicious balance of savory flavors.
The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. They were also very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations.
If you're in Naperville and craving incredible sushi and outstanding service, White Crane is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back soon!”
“First of all the customer service was amazing! Everyone made us feel so welcomed and was constantly checking on us to make sure our experience was great. Now let’s get into the food yummmyyy we had the grilled shrimp skewers grilled chicken P2 P9 A1 everything had so much flavor the toppings were so fresh. We will definitely be back.”

“I am so disappointed in my recent visit on 3/22/25. They changed the green beans! I paid $3 for an extra side to add the green beans which I have always loved here and they changed them. No longer do they have bacon bits, onion and a touch of sugar. Now they are straight out of a can. I can go to my local grocery store and get a couple of cans for the same taste and price. I’m very disappointed in this change and I will no longer order green beans here.”
“I had ordered two dozen special decoration cupcakes for my daughters 14th birthday party. The morning of the party I went to the Ogden Avenue location for pick up, and it turned out that they had been delivered to the route 59 location by mistake. The staff was extremely gracious and offered to pick up the cupcakes from the wrong location and deliver them to my home just in time. They turned out absolutely beautiful and were so delicious!! Thank you again, to the Ogden Avenue staff that took care of me and my family that day!”
“Great cocktails too!! Split all the small plates with friends!”
“Delicious food and great wine. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend”

“The moist brisket was good and so were the fries. My partner liked her cheeseburger with mac and cheese. Good selection of bbq sauces also. The brisket is not the largest portion size however so if you are really hungry order an extra side to accommodate for that.”
“Sorry to say that I was disappointed. The gyros were good but the patty melt was horrible. The hamburger tasted frozen, dried and tasteless. Fries were good as well. The other disappointment was they forgot my grandsons Hotdog, which was at the top of the receipt. I will probably try again since I paid for hotdog and will have to go back”

“Each table seats 4. We dined in. They have take out as well. We were greeted right away by a friendly wait staff who helped us with some recommendations along with taking our order. everything we ordered was great I had the black garlic pork on the first page of the menu, one of the children had plain ramen with chicken broth and the other had a chicken ramen bowl. We all tried each others and we all agreed our own bowl was the best but they all were good. You can either make your own, à la carte and choose your ingredients or you can choose from pre-made with pictures which we did because it was our first time. we didn't have room for appetizers, but we will definitely be back to try them because they all look amazing. Everything was delicious and we had a fun time with lots of leftovers which they package up very cute and neat, they put the ramen noodles in a bowl and your broth separate so your noodles don't suck it all up by the time you eat it again.. saved it as a new favorite spot!! The kids were ecstatic and had an amazing time which is very hard to do with most restaurants. fun food for kids and great eats for adults. 10 out of 10 from the kids!”
“We tried nearly everything on their menu. If you enjoy lime soda with a sweet and salty twist, along with chaat masala flavors, I highly recommend giving it a try. The pani puri, dahi puri, and sev puri were quite good. I found the bhel puri to be too soggy for my taste. Overall, their service was good, the food was enjoyable with just a few minor misses here and there.”
“I recently visited PappaRoti in Naperville, and it was an incredible experience! The coffee shop had a warm and inviting atmosphere that made it perfect for catching up with friends or just enjoying some time alone with great food and drinks. Their signature buns are absolutely delicious—soft, fluffy, and perfectly flavored. I also tried their Karak Tea, which was rich and full-bodied, pairing wonderfully with the buns.
The staff were friendly, attentive, and quick to ensure everything was perfect. The place was clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall enjoyable vibe. Whether you’re looking for a quick snack or a cozy spot to relax, PappaRoti is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend.”
“We were met by two of the nicest people today. Ichiro and Mrs. Lee. They were warm and friendly, and Ichiro made a recommendation which we obliged. He said if you don’t like it, no problem I will make you whatever you like. He made a recommendation for Ramen and sushi and everything was top quality, amazing flavor, and our new favorite! Thank you so much! You are two beautiful souls! Luca and I will see you Sunday for lunch.”
“So, listen, I completely understand changing your menu and I also understand that you are a Mexican restaurant and you’d prefer to serve Mexican food. BUT since we were last there, you changed your menu and removed the chicken strips and fries. So, atmosphere was great, service was great, food was very good, blood orange margarita was tasty, but we’ll be back when my picky 10 year old turns 18 because I can afford - occasionally - $13 for her chicken strips but not another $60 for a sitter and I’m not willing to fight with her about her awful dietary choices during a rare night out. Please bring back the chicken strips. Otherwise, we’ll miss you.”
“Zuka hibachi catering was incredible! We surprised my husband for his 40th birthday with an at home hibachi dinner and Zuka was fantastic. The chef was great and very entertaining and the food was delicious! Highly recommend!!”

“The food is fresh. You can taste that they make their own salsa, for example. The veggies on my salad were bright and crisp. In comparison to other places, you can tell you are eating fresh food. The coffee is good. They have lots of seating. Service is friendly, helpful and efficient. Good prices. Local. Easy parking. What more can you ask for? I am excited to try everything on the menu eventually.”
“"I recently tried Papa Ray's Pizza and Wings, and it was fantastic! The pizza was delicious, with a perfect balance of toppings and a crispy crust. The wings were flavorful and cooked just right. The staff was friendly and the cozy atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Papa Ray's for anyone craving top-notch pizza and wings!" ??
PS - This guys are best around this area
Let me know if you want more information about Papa Ray's Pizza and Wings!”
“This place is incredible!! Just went for the first time. Got the almond croissant and the vanilla creme donut. Outstanding!!! Very cute inside, looking forward to trying more of their products! Especially the macarons! I wouldn’t call it allergy friendly but I’m sure the gluten free can find something!”
“visited this fantastic coffee spot in Naperville, Chicago, and I was thoroughly impressed. The place was incredibly clean, with a modern, slick, and urban interior that felt inviting and fresh. There’s also a lovely outdoor seating area where you can bring your pet along, and they even provide fresh water for them—such a thoughtful touch!
The staff were super friendly, which made the experience even better. As for the coffee, it was absolutely amazing, and the macaroons were to die for, especially the salty caramel flavor. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. I will definitely be back!”
“Salt; that's what Namak translates to, is a new addition to the country in the suburbs of Chicago that serves some Indian street food and a few entrees.
We came across this simply by accident. We were hungry but didn't want a full meal and came across Namak online so decided to give it a shot.
We had the dabeli and vada pav; both were EXCELLENT.
The dabeli had the flavors you would have in India. Of course you can never get the 'exact' flavor outside of India for obvious reasons but these folks have done a TERRIFIC job of making it pretty darn close.
Both items were made fresh while I waited, wrapped wonderfully so as to make it easy to eat without making a mess.
The dabeli had the wonderful mixture of sweet and spicy (could be more spicy for my taste though) and the bread was not the sweet American bread one would expect. It was darn close to the 'pav' you get in India.
The vada pav was EPIC. You could taste the flavors, the spices, the freshness of it. If I could have something else, I'd want to try out their side of the vada (they sell just the vadas too).
I had a brief conversation with the staff here; they opened I think 6 or 8 months ago. They don't have a location in the city (PLEASE COME. I'LL BRING SO MANY CUSTOMERS AND MYSELF TOO SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK) sadly so will need to wait to try some of their other stuff till we make the next trip there.
Parking: Namak is in a strip mall.”
“Amazing sweets, adorable ambiance, and outstanding customer service! The owner Megan was absolutely delightful and accommodated our 2 groups of students by allowing us to come in on days they are closed to the public for a behind the scenes tour and cookie decorating! I can’t say enough good things about this establishment!”
“Great food and even better service. Family-run, with well-trained, attentive and caring staff. This cannot be taken for granted. There are many choices for breakfast in Naperville, mostly chains that move masses of people in and out, sometimes without even a smile. Sweat Toast has earned my regular business. Breakfast should not be a difficult experience. They are consistent, allow substitutions without hassle and are always willing to accomodate a customer's needs. Regardless of rude comments about Naperville people and "house pets" made by another google reviewer, who inappropriately used this platform to disparage other people and show his ignorance, our registered support dog Gizmo bothered nobody during our visit, even though he was not feeling well as we were leaving. Accidents happen. I have seen much worse with children and their inattentive parents.”
“We were met by two of the nicest people today. Ichiro and Mrs. Lee. They were warm and friendly, and Ichiro made a recommendation which we obliged.

Thank you so much! You are two beautiful souls! Luca and I will see you Sunday for lunch.”
“Absolutely love the service and the food! Today was my partner’s birthday and the service here was terrific. The menu had his name and they did the whole cake at the end with the candle. It was amazing . Totally a 5 star place I would give them 20 if that was a thing. Just perfect.”
“Stopped in for our anniversary. Atmosphere and staff were great. What I expected. Started with the crab cake, leak soup wedge salad, and Brussel sprouts . The crab cake was the best we’ve had. Soup was good. Wedge salad was just a typical wedge salads. Nothing special. Brussels were excellent.
Entres. Wife had the lobster roll and I had the seafood risotto. Lobster roll had great flavor, but lacked lobster. Lots of roll and little lobster. The seafood risotto consisted of two scallops, 3 large shrimp, and a lobster tail. Scallops were top notch, shrimp was a little bland, and lobster tail was way over cooked. It was actually difficult to cut.
Sticky toffee pudding for dessert.
Overall, mixed reviews on the food. We will be back for apps and drinks.”
“This is lovely place to relax and enjoy a meal. Our waiter, Paul, was so kind! His service was impressive. This was our first experience with Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ. The food was amazing. When we return, we will ask for Paul!”
“My favorite place to eat and hang out for great food & drinks in Downtown Naperville!!!”
“We were there Friday night me and my best friend. The manager was exceptional. Food was on point like always.”
“Our gluten-free dining experience at Treverso’s was excellent. I was impressed by how the owner was going around each table and asking how everyone was doing. He offered us complimentary gluten-free dessert too. I would definitely go back n recommend to my friends as well.”
“I would give this place 100 stars if able! I had to plan a rehearsal luncheon for my son's wedding in Joliet in mid May with only 2 months notice. Since we live in North Carolina, I had to do all the research online. Thank heaven I came across SixtyFour Reserve Room in a Google search. The manager, Andrew, contacted me right away and was so helpful in making suggestions for our event. Cheryl, the events manager, took over in finalizing all the arrangements. There are so many different options for appetizers, meal combinations, wine, cocktails and beer! Our guests were able to choose their favorites ahead of time. When we arrived on the day of the event, we were so delighted by the venue! Everything I had requested was in place, and Cheryl and our amazing server/bartender, Alex, immediately greeted us and made everyone feel welcome. The appetizers and meals were served efficiently and right on the timeline I had planned. The food was incredibly delicious with a pleasing presentation. Our guests had so much fun with the Wine Stations, and the whiskey lovers appreciated the variety of choices. Everyone raved about how much they enjoyed the food, drink and ambiance. Best of all, I was able to relax and enjoy our guests since all the work was done by Andrew, Cheryl, Alex and the kitchen staff. The cost was very reasonable, especially so close to Chicago. Highly recommended!”
“We frequently attend this establishment.... food is great, staff and managers are amazing.... some server's we've had in the past Katie,, Lindsey and had the pleasure with Mark on this past Wednesday evening... all great.... 30% tip all the way.... enjoy and thank you.”
“We absolutely love this place and location. The wings are fab. The pizza is primo. We always have great service. Love you sit out front when the weather is good.”
“A really great place! Our server Sam was very personable. We were there during lunch and there weren’t very many people there. The Rueben Sandwich was exceptional. My wife had the Cheeseburger which was also great.”
“amazing service from beginning to end! staff went above and beyond in the restaurant and the upstairs bar, left me in awe! i haven't experienced service like this in over 25years. The food, incredible! food and wine snob here- both were beyond my expectations. Ceviche- perfect, bbq wings- falling off the bone, steak skewers- Wow! soooooo much to come back for. thank you for a magical night”

“Hugo's Frog Bar & Fish House in Naperville is one of our favorite restaurants. The food is always delicious and cooked to perfection. The wait staff is top-notch! They’re always welcoming, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Thank you Jared and Ray for another fantastic dining experience. If you're looking for a great meal in a sophisticated atmosphere, Hugo's Frog Bar in Naperville is definitely worth a visit.”
“Had the best experience dining here with coworkers. Jess was our server and was warm and welcoming, offering suggestions and pairings, and had the beat timing- we never felt rushed or interrupted. The martinis and crafted cocktails were as delicious as they were beautiful. Appetizers were delicious and the portion size was great- don't miss the brussel sprouts! Now the sushi... wow- creative and meticulously prepared rolls and sashimi with a menu that has something for everyone-- and the vegan options are incredible! Can't wait to come back. Thanks for a great night out and a. fantastic service experience.”
“Good place still even though I’m seeing changes …. They’re getting stingy with their French fries portions.”
“So delicious! Highly recommend this bakery. Can’t wait for my next treat.”
“I find myself at *Salem Oath Brewery* in Naperville, Illinois, a pocket of rebellion amidst the suburban sprawl—unexpected, almost subversive. This is the kind of place you don’t expect to find out here, the kind of joint that has no business existing in a town best known for cookie-cutter homes, strip malls, and places with “family-friendly” in the tagline. But here it is, dark, atmospheric, with the energy of a punk bar that somehow wandered into a Norman Rockwell painting and decided to stay.
The first thing you notice is that it’s unapologetically itself. The décor is all dark wood, steel, and minimalist lines, equal parts Midwestern grit and industrial chic, and there’s an undercurrent of irreverence in everything from the murals on the wall to the beer names scrawled on the chalkboard menu. You don’t just wander into a place like this—you seek it out. And you know you’re in for something interesting.
I scan the tap list. It’s clear this place knows its craft: no mass-produced, uninspired nonsense here. They’re pushing boundaries and making you question what beer can be—big flavors, bold experiments, and not a trace of pretense. I go for the “Devil’s Advocate,” an imperial stout that’s thick, inky, and dark as a moonless night. First sip, and I’m hit with layers of chocolate, espresso, and just the faintest whiff of smoke. This is not the kind of brew you drink lightly. It’s almost intimidating, a beer that dares you to take it on, and if you don’t respect it, it’ll humble you fast.
There’s something deeply satisfying about finding a place like this, especially here, in Naperville—a town that could be the poster child for safe, sanitized living. *Salem Oath* stands out like a black sheep, a beacon for those who crave something offbeat, something that doesn’t fit neatly into the expected. The people here get it. You can see it in the crowd—local misfits, craft beer obsessives, and a few adventurous suburbanites clearly out of their comfort zone, trying to make sense of the intensity in their glass.
They could coast by playing it safe, but they don’t. There’s no attempt to dilute the experience, no concessions made to those who might want their beer a little lighter, a little sweeter, a little less… dangerous. And that’s rare. That’s something to be celebrated. Because when you stumble onto a place that embraces being different, that refuses to compromise on what it is—whether that’s a brewery, a dive bar, or a tiny ramen joint down an alleyway in Tokyo—you know you’re onto something real.
So, is *Salem Oath Brewery* for everyone? No, and thank God for that. It’s a place for the wanderers, the curious, the ones who want to taste something that forces them to sit up and pay attention. And if that’s you, then this place, this unassuming little brewery in the middle of the Illinois suburbs, might just surprise you. But then, isn’t that what life is all about? Finding the unexpected in the most unlikely of places, and letting yourself be changed by it.”
“Food was really good! Sushi roll was nicely made, not too much rice. Tempura shrimp was really light and fresh tasting. My husband had the teriyaki chicken which came out sizzling on the skillet. My udon soup was really good.”
“The food was amazing and the staff provided outstanding service!! Definitely our new favorite place!!”
“Our favorite place for sushi! Food is great. Fish is fresh. Staff is very friendly. Order here once a week.”
“Had a wonderful dinner celebrating a friend’s birthday. Great service, excellent food. Just wish it wasn’t so loud and they had more parking.”
“Okay, you HAVE to try Seattle Sutton’s meals! I’ve been getting them for almost a year, and they’re seriously the best meal delivery company. I actually talked to one of their dietitians before I signed up and they were super helpful and answered all of my questions. There are so many meals I never would’ve thought of making myself, but they’re all so good. The convenience is unreal. You just heat it up. I don't have to cook anything and I hate doing dishes, so that's a huge bonus. Plus, everything is always fresh, like I just bought it at the store. If you want easy healthy meals without worrying about fake or unhealthy ingredients this is 100% the way to go.”
“Attended a function here today …. the small bites and drinks were delicious! Definitely would like to try this place for dinner”
“I have been a regular for over a year. Jordan and Brian always take great care of me! Unfortunately, fir some reason they don't carry the nfl Sunday ticket anymore forcing me to frequent other establishments. Sad panda.”
“This newer location is great, also having bowling and laser tag. Staff is very friendly and helpful, great drinks and food fun for all ages”
“A perfect spot to chill on a cloudy day. We opened the place for a light bite before going out on a Friday night, and we were warmly welcomed by Colleen, who was just setting things up for the evening. The Cobb Salad was excellent and the wine selection ample.”
“Sister was in town from the desert and wanted sushi. I'd heard good things but never been here before. We tried just about everything and ran up a large tab. The ika and unagi were especially good. I'd take guests here again with confidence. Only issue was I felt the dining room to be a bit dark, so 4/5 for atmosphere.”
“**ROSE**
Thank you Rose for a fantastic experience dining in the restaurant. It was a pleasure to meet you and learning about Naperville. Your hospitality was amazing!! Really appreciate your service and glad I met you! Can’t wait to visit again!! Breakfast was awesome and the granola is delicious”
“I being the small-town sort hadn’t heard of the Lazy Dog restaurants, but a wedding brought us 300 miles north, so we decided to try the Lazy Dog in Naperville. What a pleasant experience we had. My party of 3, including our foodie daughter, were seated promptly and cordially. Our server, Allie(sp? Sorry about that, couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful. The interior of the restaurant is well-appointed and interesting. There were several TV’s going in the bar area, although we sat in the family dining area. Allie asked if this was our first time at Lazy Dog, and we said yes. A few minutes later, the manager showed up with a small comped hors d’ouvres, a nice chip dish we we enjoyed and appreciated. I ordered the southern fried chicken salad, with honey mustard dressing. I enjoyed it tremendously. There wasn’t so much there to be overwhelming, but when I finished I was well satisfied. Our foodie daughter ordered something else that came with chicken, but she asked to substitute with tofu. Why, I have no idea, but I know both she and my wife were complimentary of their choices. When we arrived at Lazy Dog it looked like the parking lot was pretty full, but don’t be put off by that appearance. The restaurant can hold a lot of guests, and, as I said, we were seated promptly. Kudos to Allie and the good folks at Lazy Dog for a pleasant evening dinner!”

Special thanks goes out to Sandra & Eva for all of their help throughout the event! You handled the group well and kept everyone happy!

“Food was good.Lamb & Beef were great. They have separated chicken , veggies & seafood session which is a great initiative. (4/5)
But I really find they have raised the prices a lot.. 35$ for Premium that to on a weekday, is really expensive. Not really affordable for a family of 4.
For that price, Service & Ambience & music can be improved. (3/5)
They could have had more dessert varieties. They had just coffee cake and chocolate ice cream. (2/5)”
“This is one of my favorite spots. Drinks are always amazing. The bartender Kevin is awesome. Every drink he has made is so delicious..Kevin is a true bartender! He is making sure his drinks taste good before serving them to us. I have gone 4 times in a couple months bringing different friends with me. They all love it there. The food is delicious. Especially spinach artichoke dip. Make sure you meet the bartender Kevin! We all loved his drinks!!!”
“Ordered a pizza tonight through an Uber eats promo and it’s the best pizza that has ever come from here. Absolutely perfectly cooked, and perfect sauce/cheese/veggies ratio. Whoever is in the kitchen tonight, July 3rd, please give them a high five for me.”
“Kiku is our favorite place by far. We have been coming here for over 16 years! Whether it’s date night or with the family we always have a wonderful time. The staff and owners are always amazing and we feel so welcome there. Food is delicious!! Both the rolls and hibachi. 💕🥰🍣🤤”
“Great dining experience here once again. It me and my parents getting dinner on a Sunday. Server was wonderful I only knocked a star as our order of drinks was incorrect and while corrected promptly it still did not feel like a 5 star experience. Otherwise the food was delicious me and my dad got the pastas. Mine was with shrimp and his with steak. Very tender and well seasoned both meats. My mom had their new chimichurri steak which she said she liked very much.”
“My girls and I love coming to Olive Garden for their lunch special. Big fan of the chicken Alfredo!!! Tried the Strawberry Mango Tea delicious . Always a great experience!!!
Kid-friendliness: My girls love the kids menu”
“They had a great Bison Burger asked for it medium and got it well done. But it was good either way so I'll still give an overall 5 stars. Where this place really shines is the overall atmosphere of the place. That and our waitress was very polite and attentive to our needs. As for the food we got some about noon. And they were still on the ball when it came to service. It only took maybe 15 minutes to get it on the table. Can't ask for anything better than that. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Would definitely recommend them, and we will definitely be ordering from them in the future!”

“I was looking for someplace to take my mother and we settled on Ellie's Deli. My mother is also Ellie and was tickled pink by the name. She was even happier when we left, after eating absolutely perfect Reuben sandwiches. I was actually tempted to get another one to go for my lunch today. We'll definitely be going back.”

“OMGG I love this place. Best chain fried chicken BY FAR. My personal recommendation is the Hot level, as the medium is good too but the hot adds more to the flavor. Fries are surprisingly good for crinkle cut fries, and the sauce is great. The dude who took our order was GREAT - really made our day.
Vegetarian options: This place isn't gonna be great for vegetarians - it's a fried chicken place so that's really all they serve. No vergetarian meal options from what I know.”
“I am so disappointed in my recent visit on 3/22/25. They changed the green beans! I paid $3 for an extra side to add the green beans which I have always loved here and they changed them. No longer do they have bacon bits, onion and a touch of sugar. Now they are straight out of a can. I can go to my local grocery store and get a couple of cans for the same taste and price. I’m very disappointed in this change and I will no longer order green beans here.”
“I like crumbl. However, as someone who competed in the Scripps national spelling bee, I just can't ignore the fact that crumble is spelled wrong. I mean, who really knows why they just left of the E. Like is it supposed to be CRUMB L like do I want my cookies to be in Crumbs and then take the L. Im just confused. I would really appreciate some feedback.”
“Joseph and Javi were great. The food was delicious. It was our first time there so we didn’t know how it all worked but Joseph walked us through perfectly. The buffet was full of great choices, and the meats came out at a perfect pace. We will definitely be coming back again in the future.”
