Restaurants near Northfield

“LOVE this place. It’s a throwback to how restaurants used to be before everyone became allergic to everything. Classic, no frills, basic food and friendly fast service. We come here with our young kids and it never disappoints. Don’t come if you want culinary extravagance. It’s a diner! Kids items come with a free scoop of ice cream and they have a bowl of candy at the cashier desk.”

“I really enjoy this pizza, and I know a good pie. This place feels like an absolute steal with its convenient service, averaging pricing, and great taste. They can do it all, and I am excited to continue exploring the menu.”

“Fresh Made Cafe consistently delivers an outstanding experience. The quality and freshness of the food truly set them apart. Everything is made to order, and you can taste the difference in every bite. The ingredients are always fresh, the portions are generous, and each meal is prepared with love.

If you’re looking for delicious, freshly made food and top-notch service, Fresh Made Cafe is a must-visit. Highly recommended!”

“Great salads!!! Great chicken sandwiches!!! Best cheese fries in the area!!!”

“Great, but pricey pastry. Good breakfast and light lunch in a very pleasant setting.”

“As a busy working, traveling mom, I was trying to plan my precious daughter’s sixth birthday party when I was out of town and was in a bind because I didn’t order a cake I envisioned in advance. The bakery called me back promptly as I was sitting at the airport in Boston, I sent over a picture of the unicorn cake I envisioned, and they had it ready along with 2 dozen cupcakes that day! Also ordered their butter cookies and the broffee and it was all a huge hit with our guests. Thanks again for coming to the rescue. My daughter and her friends absolutely fell in love with the magical unicorn cake.”

“Marla and her team are the true fiber and inspiration of small business in America. She is very thoughtful in food selection, and extremely passionate about ensuring children are getting quality meals and not your run of the mill packaged meals. I missed an ordering deadline by a few hours, I sent an email hoping that they would still be able to accommodate. Marla personally called me due to system lockout because of the deadline, her and I went through each day's menu and she manually got it all setup. Highly reccomend, she services so many different institutions and camps. Thank you for your special attention. Means the world to me and my twin boys.”

“Visited their new Lakeview location this past Thursday, and timed it right so my Pizza was ready right after the Cubs game ended. It was only a 15 minute walk to the restaurant. First time ever eating Milly's and I will definitely be back! Customized my own pizza with Pepperoni, Sausage and Ricotta cheese. Opening the box for the first time, this pie looked perfect. Generous amount of toppings, beautiful caramelized crust. First bite was nice and crispy and the entire pizza was full of flavor. I sat in one of their booths and ate half the pizza there! The staff was super friendly also, both guys were talking to me about the history of the company, and you could tell how passionate they were about making these pizzas. I will definitely be back again!”

“Wonderful restaurant. Food was excellent very close to what I had in Rome. Staff very friendly and made our dining very enjoyable! Go here!!”

“best falafel and lentil soup i had in chicago by far. cheap, fast, and rly yum. i can't have the pita bread that comes with the soup so they throw me an extra falafel everytime. great place & P.S. its cash only! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-18”

“Amazing all around!!! The food was delicious and service was great. The pita was incredible and the hummus was truly authentic. We had the schnitzel which was super crunchy and the sauce on the side was very flavorful. The patio in the back is so nice and spacious and the word burning oven inside really sets the vibe. The drinks were also unique and delicious. You have to go!!”

“We waited fifteen minutes for a table, just for another group of the exact same size to show up and be immediately sat before us. We didn’t say anything cause it was busy, and we were waiting right outside (which we were told is okay), so they probably forgot we were there. Just something to keep in mind if you visit during a rush ;)

Other than that, the pho seriously lives up to its hype. It was worth the wait. Everyone at the table agreed, and I was with some folks who know good pho cause they live near Little Saigon in CA. The flavors were balanced, it was more savory than sweet which I enjoy.

I also had a lemon soda for the first time here and it was pretty good; very sweet and sour.”

“I highly recommend this place if you love ramen as much as I do! The food quality and taste were incredible. I started with unsweetened oolong tea and takoyaki, followed by Goku Tonkotsu ramen, I chose the non-spicy option, and it was absolutely delicious. Honestly, I would give this place a Michelin star if I could! 🍜✨”

“Amazing freshest sushi , best in the town , great service , and nice ambiance.”

“How could a bar cure my aversion to celery?!? I’m not sure, but it happened. I met a friend here, and after a fun couple of hours sampling the epic novel of a beer list, we went for the moule frites. I was mainly interested in the frites, especially when I saw the celery on the mussels. But I did try them, and their broth. The broth!! It was otherworldly. After a few bites, I realized the magic ingredient had to be the celery. And the rosemary, thyme, onion, and probably a beer brewed by the Belgian monks. Go here, people.”

“We went last night for the first time… Great menu options, food was delicious, portions were perfect, staff was really nice. I had the Grilled Salmon, he had the Braised Pork Shoulder…definitely recommend both.”

“Family friendly restaurant with food choices for everyone but the made fresh pasta was the best part!”

“We always look forward to takeout (during COVID) and look forward to seeing you in person. Pizza is always fantastic!!! Always!”

“Went in literally at closing for a pickup order. Realized the order was placed to the wrong location.

The guys made me some fried rice anyway!! Stayed late to help me out. Amazing service and great food”

“I recently was visiting Chicago and as a habit, I searched for Best Gluten Free bakery and discovered Defloured. What an amazing place. As a Celiac, finding good GF baked goods is rare to find. Wow what a selection. I purchased a chocolate cupcake, two love pucks, cinnamon rolls, poppy lemon bread, baguette, and aNutella sandwich cookie. Everything was really delicious. I mean world class quality. I now plan on making regular visits to Chicago so I can load up and fill my freezer with possibly the best GF baked goods in the U.S. I’ve tried a lot.”

“We're from out of town and stopped in for dinner after visiting a nearby museum and our pizza was delicious. The staff is extremely friendly and took excellent care of us. Cannoli we're great as well. We're over an hour away, but we will be back!”

“I had an engagement party for my Son and his fiancée. It was in the lawn next to our building on the lake in Chicago. A casually elegant setting. We had a lot of different food prepared professionally and I made salads, and we grilled steaks, burgers and chicken. Khmai was enlisted to do all the appetizers, some additional salads and various spreads and dips. I have Mai my approximate budget, let her know what I was preparing and planned to cook and asked her to do her best to come up with what she thought would be best as complimentary. She outdid herself. The staff is lovely to work with, helpful and genuine. My guests were blown away by the delicious and complex tastes we are not used to since most had never had Cambodian food prior. Fermented catfish dip? Wonderful, all the rolls veg or not were terrific, shrimp toast was my personal favorite, salads crisp, spicy and everything felt special and unique. Flavors so rich and vibrant felt like a special treat. It was perfect served with standard picnic fare a little elevated. The atmosphere of the party was pitch perfect, while retaining a quiet all American type picnic feel, the quality of both the food I had prepared and grilled, plus the array of flavors the appetizers added made it seem really special and definitely a treat and celebratory. It felt like someone really cared and tried to make it memorable and my guests were over the moon for this food. I would absolutely recommend dining there, we have a few times and it’s a family feeling you just can’t force or create without it being real. Thank you for your heart and talent to this wonderfully talented mother and daughter team!”

“Great food, family friendly!”
