Restaurants in Northbrook

“Came here for lunch and I'm glad I did. The belly classic banh mi was really good and decently priced. Had a coffee too and was perfect 10/10 with quick service too. I'll be back!”

“We had a wonderful dinner at Prairie Grass Cafe. The spring rolls were loaded with delicious perfectly cooked shrimp and the accompanying sauce (sweet chili with garlic and cilantro) plays nicely with them. The flounder with roasted carrots and parsnip-potato purée was as delicious as it looks. It was generously portioned and beautifully plated. We also enjoyed the mussels with parsley, shallots, and breadcrumbs pasta. My husband is Sicilian and it reminded us of the pasta con le sarde that we love to have in Sicily. The mussels were plump and delicious. The wine list is very nice. We found wines we really enjoyed and they were reasonably priced. We enjoyed the Attems, Pinot Grigio, Friuli, Italy ‘22 with our mussels and flounder, and the Fritz Haag, Riesling, Germany ‘21 with our pumpkin pie for dessert. Service was perfect.”

“Food was excellent as always and our server Moses made it extra special. Always one of my favorites!”

“Love the vibes and food! Come here with your friends!!”

“I would go here again and again. Food quality is excellent. What can I say about NICK the manager. Outstanding manager. He listens to customer. Make sure we leave place very happy. If you complain about food, he will replace immediately without any questions asked. He makes sure that all the customers are very happy. We order a corn soup, my wife thought it was not spiced up enough. She asked waiter to spiced up. Manager came and told her that this is the way it comes and cannot spice up. He replaced her with another type of soup and did not even charge us for that. Great place to go for diner with family and friends.”

“The food and drinks were phenomenal, along with the atmosphere. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in this establishment. Our server Scott was absolutely outstanding. There should be more of him in the world! I definitely recommend this place!”

“Hi, I’m trying to contact you since one week on FB Messenger and IG. Could you please check my message ? It’s related to franchises. Best. Simon C.”

“Peter is an amazing and great food!! Waitress lauren was amazing!!!!! It was very busy when we were there and they tried to accomodate us very well. And changed us to an even better table! They are awesome. Sushi is great quality.”

“Ask for ELI, he is the best server. Food is wonderful. Very creative menu. We are never disappointed coming here. Eli, is so kind, asked us several times if we needed anything and always asked if he can fill up our drinks. Thank you so much to all of you, gwynne”

“10/10 LOVE this place!! Constantine & his entire staff were so friendly & welcoming. Hot Honey Wrap was AMAZING, bartenders/servers were awesome, can't wait to come back!”

“amazing food and awesome staff!!”

“As a Korean who lived in Chicago for over 20 years and later became a naturalized U.S. citizen, I can say this clearly: this place is the real deal.

The food is exceptionally clean and well-balanced, made with high-quality ingredients and thoughtful seasoning. Nothing feels rushed or overly processed the flavors are subtle, honest, and comforting.

What impressed me most was that my in-laws, who recently came from Korea, said this place was better than many well-known restaurants back home. During their few weeks in the U.S., they liked it so much that we came back multiple times.

If you prefer bold, heavy, or highly seasoned flavors, this might feel a bit mild especially for younger diners who enjoy stronger tastes. But if you appreciate carefully prepared, wholesome food made with sincerity, this is absolutely a place worth visiting.

Highly recommended for anyone who values quality, balance, and genuinely good cooking.”

“great service!!! the hostess was very polite and professional 👍”

“I was pleasantly suprised. The Fillet was fantastic . Served medium rare the way I like it. I could almoat cut it with a fork. The baked potatoe was asume as well. My server Holly was exceptional! She was pleasant, funny, and very helpful! Thank you Holly.”

“Excellent service, amazing food. Gelato is incredible! :) Very nice people there, too! Will definitely return!”

“This place is a gem! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how kind and knowledgeable the staff was. The girl who helped me was so sweet, super patient, and explained everything perfectly. You can really tell they care about the customer experience and make sure you feel comfortable and taken care of. Now let’s talk about the lemonades—WOW. Infused and delicious, it was honestly one of the best lemonades I’ve ever had. And the baked goods? Incredible. Soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Everything I tried was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back and try more. I seriously love, love, love this place. The staff, the products, the vibe—Blazed Bakery is on point. Thank you for such an awesome experience!”

“Amazing Service! Staff was very polite and greetful. My daughter said she loves how the cookies taste, and always wants to get more. Thank you Crumbl for making my daughter and I satisfied!!”

“Went to Little Louie’s on a whim and we loved it. We got a Cajun wrap and cheeseburger with fries. All of it was out to the table very fast and it was excellent tasting. We aren’t from the area but it will be a place we stop at when we come back thru for sure”

“Food is good,, easy to prepare and it takes all the guess work out of eating healthy.”

“Love this bagel shop/fresh muffins too. My son loves their breakfast sandwiches, I love all the variety of bagels, muffins, and coffees. My favorite is the cheesy bagel twists. Variety of cream cheese flavors as well.”

“Soooo Good..!!!! 💯💯💯👻👻👻👻👻”

“It was an amazing experience. Service and food just perfect… gracias por una experiencia tan grata.”

““Barnaby’s of Northbrook delivers that Neighbor Proof–level consistency with real local trust that Northern Illinois families have counted on for decades.” The food comes out hot, the service is steady, and the atmosphere feels like a true community anchor. Their pizza has that classic, reliable flavor you expect every single time, and the team moves with the kind of confidence that only comes from years of doing things the right way. It’s the kind of place where you see real stories play out — families, regulars, and neighbors all sharing the same dependable experience. A Northbrook staple that continues to earn its reputation.”

“I genuinely have nothing bad to say about this place. Both times I’ve gone, I’ve had amazing experiences. I highly recommend the yangji seolleongtang! :) I prefer it to the galbi tang. It’s a much milder broth and is still very filling.”

“Perfect combination of esthetic decor, unique menu and signature cocktails!”

“Try their chili! It is the best. Great atmosphere.”

“Great spot for lunch! I came in around 2:30 - the service was attentive and hands on, and food came out extremely quick. I love that they serve fresh juice (the Verde Vida was amazing) and have a large tequila selection. The Blackberry margarita also did not disappoint, and the food is authentic and delicious. Will have to come back for dinner!”

“Food and service were great. Got several appetizers, including sausage and peppers, which weren't even on the menu. The veal chop was delicious and huge; and the cannoli was the perfect way to end the meal.

My only complaint was the spacing of the tables. Because the dining room is so small, they stack the tables on top of each other. All night our chairs were banging against the people behind us, making trips to the restroom a difficult task. Even with this, I'd go back in a heartbeat.”

“One of the best breakfast/lunch establishments I have dined in! All aspects of the dining experience are top notch, whether you dine in or carry out, the food is AWESOME!! Look forward to my weekly visits to Northbrook so I can enjoy Georgie V’s!”

“Stopped in to the old Meatheads location to find Epic Burger. I haven't enjoyed an Epic Burger since my carnivore days pre 2016 at the original location in Downtown Evanston. I was happy to find a plant based option on the menu and also happy to see the Garlic Parmesan Fries were still an option on the menu. Overall a good meal.”

“Great place for private event”

“Finally tried The Claim Company in Northbrook last night and omg… that Motherlode burger is no joke 🤤🍔. Juicy, messy, and absolutely worth it. Fries were crispy perfection too. Such a fun, laid-back spot to hang out with friends. Totally coming back! 🙌✨”

“These aren’t just cookies! They are a MEAL😊 Kudos to Carol’s Cookies for creating masterpieces!”

“The Baking Institute has been a trusted partner of ours for 20+ years. Their cakes are elegant in presentation, outstanding in taste, and consistently delivered with professionalism and care. We’re grateful for the long-standing relationship and confidently recommend them.”

“Best bagels ever, great cream cheese! Customer Service was nice!”

“Best pizza in town.”

“Best soup in northbrook!!!”

“We moved here two years ago from NY and finally had Josh’s for dinner. Their menu is fantastic, with a lot of different options. We had the Ribs and Greek Chicken dinner. My husband said “these are amongst the best ribs I’ve ever had”. The Greek chicken was amazing. The food portions are more than generous. This will be our Friday night go to place for sure! The staff was also so friendly!”

“Ice cream is the best around”

“My friend a d I ordered a 40 oz porterhouse steak to share. It was excellent and plus. Our waiter was very attentive and addressed all out requests. The price was high as it was Ruth's Chris. The only knot I had was the price on the wine. My merlot was nice. Since I buy these bottles for myself at home,just thought the mark- up was a bit on the high side.”

“Love this place. Very fresh sushi!”

“Great food. Their supper club menu is wonderful. #iraeats”

“My daughter had her wedding at this venue on 8/4/25. From the point of discussing the space, to reviewing the contract, to discussing options, to answering ALL of our questions, to the tasting, to the day of, our event coordinator (not sure that's her specific title) Amanda was nothing short of stellar. She was patient, thorough, and accommodating ensuring that my daughter was comfortable in a very important time of her life. Our event captain (again not sure of her title) Kylie also was amazing -- handling each of our requests quickly and pleasantly. These two ladies are an asset to your company & should be commended for their fantastic work ethic. All the event staff from the bartenders, to servers, to bus boys were pleasant and efficient. The food was delicious as well. Our event was amazing & memorable largely due to the associates we interacted with.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💯
I had an amazing experience at Los Huaraches! The food was absolutely delicious—everything tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The tacos and huaraches were perfectly made, and the portions were generous for the price. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. You can tell they really care about their customers and the quality of their food. Definitely one of my go-to spots now—highly recommend checking it out!”

“Friday Wing and Taco specials! Best Tortilla soup! Must try the Turkey boat! Everything is yum here...”

“The search for New York–style pizza is over! This is as close as it gets. I absolutely love their pizza—they’re always quick, reliable, and reasonably priced. Hands down my favorite pizza joint in Chicagoland!”

“It’s a great go-to place where I often pick up on Tuesday nights. The food is ready 10 to 15 minutes after I order it over the phone. The lady who takes the order and gives me the food to-go is unfailingly pleasant and always smiles. We love their Mongolian beef, and enjoy their egg rolls, hot & sour soup and wonton soup. Never a bad meal. All delicious with generous portions and a fair price.”

“Newer Starbucks location with great service and the same great menu we all love. There were a couple of mistakes with my orders when they first opened, but the staff has improved and gained experience and I've had no issues after that.”

“Never have gotten anything bad here. today got potstickers and house lomein”

“Emmanuel and Michelle and Tomas are really great people I come here for my lunch break almost every day and they’re really nice and friendly every day.

“The crepes were delectable! The service was prompt, and the food was fresh.”

“Very clean and delicious eats🤤😋”

“the place reminds you a simple living with great food.”

“I have spent 4 months in South Korea and was luckily able to experience and enjoy authentic KBBQ during that time. Since then, this restaurant has been the only one in the Chicagoland area that has been able to, not only match, but exceed my expectations. The food is authentic and super yummy (a solid 12 on a scale of 1-10). The customer service is beyond expectation and the atmosphere is perfect as well. I would absolutely recommend to anyone. I have been here on multiple occasions and I have had a fantastic experience every single time. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! If I had the money to eat here every single day, I would. 최고입니다!!”

“This is not my first rodeo at PF Changs and I love their food! The food was very good and the service was outstanding. We celebrated my son's birthday and they were very on top of that! The restaurant was clean and although a little dim, I believe that added to the ambience. I also loved the reading lights they provided for reading the menus. I will definitely be returning! Thank you PF Chang's!!”
