“This is a small, local restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and great tasting food. We celebrated a birthday with many tapas dishes to share and delicious sangria. Everything we ordered, we enjoyed and each was full of flavor. Save room for dessert!“
“We went Easter Morning for brunch and it was quite busy. The staff were not affected by the crowd, they were happy and very pleasant. The food was amazing. I would definitely recommend dining here. I know we will be back next time we are in Chicago ❤️“
“It's truly a crime that this place doesn't have more reviews. This is one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life.The sourdough is splendid, giving the crust a beautiful balance between soft and crunchy. The sauce is out of this world, I wish they sold jars of it so I could eat it more often. Every topping is incredibly flavorful and fresh. My favorites were the ricotta, cherry tomatoes, beef meatballs, and spinach.Make sure to preorder at least a day before you plan to go, since they make a limited amount of pizzas. Do yourself a favor and order the larger size, that way you can enjoy leftovers once you're back home and dreaming about the pizza! I can't wait to come back here again soon!“
“We got this via door dash last night. Wow. So healthy and delicious. I got the goddess greens and it didn’t even need an added protein. The dressing was so good. My husband got the Mediterranean mix up and loved it and son got the ode to the roasted veggie. So excited for this addition to Evanston. We also love the non plastic containers!!!“
“We went to Farm Bar last night with another couple and it was so delicious I had to write a review. We started with the cheese curds and we all agreed that they are the best we have ever had. Then we had the salad that was on the Specials list. It was a smear of ricotta cheese with butter lettuce, peas, asparagus, watermelon radishes and a very light, tasty vinaigrette dressing. So fresh and flavorful. The owner came by our table and has a huge farm in Wisconsin so everything is so fresh and menu changes with seasons. My husband had the catfish. He is a southern boy and he loved it. Huge portion as well! Two of us had the cavatelli. Fresh pasta and layered with textures and flavors. And one of us had the burger. He said it was a great burger. Service was very friendly and we didn't feel rushed. Highly recommend Farm Bar!! Can't wait until the summer and the rooftop opens.“
“We visited for the first time yesterday and it was AMAZING! Great ambience, friendly staff, good music but the food was the star of the show. Absolutely delicious! Everything from the bread, salads, soups and entrees. We will definitely be back!!!“
“My family and I absolutely love this spot!! Their daily specials are top notch. And their chicken noodle soup is one of the best out there. You can tell it's homemade. We have not had something we did not like from Sunrise grill. The staff here is so wonderful. Always so nice and accommodating. We love the staff there. We always feel so welcomed.“
“Giordano’s is Chicago pizza! They have a few location in Chicago, this one is in Rosemont about a mile from O’Hare…The place has a relaxed atmosphere and a full bar- several beers on tap served in tall glasses.I got the Chicago classic of course (deep dish with pepperoni, mushroom, green pepper, and onion). Please understand that when you order a deep dish pizza, it takes longer to cook but it is worth the wait! I spent $40 for a small pizza (feeds 2 but I wanted leftovers for later) and a beer. Sure, it’s more expensive than Pizza Hut, but this is NOT Pizza Hut!The pie was awesome as usual- over an inch thick, great sauce flavor, and a nice tall crispy edge crust. Veggies were not soggy and the cheese was melted perfectly- you could eat right away without burning your mouth- a sign that your pie is cooked perfectly!They have takeout and delivery, and offer a whole bunch of dishes that would satisfy anyone you bring here.My server Phyllis was awesome- she made sure I knew what I was ordering (I guess a lot of people think a classic pizza is just cheese LOL) and had a great personality!Restrooms were clean, which is also important!If you come to Chicago, you MUST eat and Giordano’s!“
“Loved this place!I highly recommend this restaurant. I had their main Steak File with mushrooms sauce , veggies and mashed potato, everything was delicious.The price is 100% worthy since you get good meat quality and good portion.The staff was very nice to us and very friendly.“
“2nd time there and loving the food, experience and the staff/owner.Cute place and good vibe. First round was with the Brie, prosciutto, green apple sandwiches...mmmm mmmm good. Tonight I took wifey out for date night and got the charcuterie for 2. Awesome selection, great flavors, nice presentation. Owner stopped by a few times to check up on us. Loved the wine selection as well. Hidden gem in park ridge. Can't love it enough.“
“Ever since they opened we go out of our way to frequent this place. We have other Thai places within walking distance from our condo but a short drive yields better quality Thai food and wonderful service. Ambiance: The place is super clean which is a plus. If the front of the house is immaculate, I would think the kitchen is the same. The food is amazing. Tiger Cry is amazing and they give a nice size portion compared to other places. Sweet/savory marinated thin slices of beef char-grilled is wonderful. Don't hesitate on the fried shumai- Fried shrimp shu-mai, served with light sweet and sour sauce. Awesome finger food. You can't go wrong with any of the curry dishes. This last round we had the Gaeng Masaman - Masaman curry and potatoes sauteed in coconut milk with peanuts and chicken. Great flavor. So many selections but all have been great! I love the fact you can choose the level of spiciness for each dish depending on your preferences. We go full-tilt hot as hell spicy and it does not disappoint! Pricing is a bit lower than your average Thai places and portions are more generous. 3 dishes for 2 people yields leftovers! Owner is friendly and I can tell he loves what he does and is looking out for the diners. This is the place you want to make sure thrives. Go pay them a visit.“
“This place doesn't miss. The Tuesday special is my go to. You can't even get a lunch under $5 anywhere except here. I would share some photos but it was so good I ate it before I could take some.The hot sauce is good. I wish it was a little more spicy but it has a really good flavor so I love it!“
“This place is amazing. This was my second time here and both times were exceptional. Chill atmosphere and very clean as well. Moe and Diar were both very welcoming and made sure we had a good experience. The food was fantastic and made to order so it was extremely fresh both times. Would recommend the fries with garlic sauce (most addicting combo) and the falafel. Can’t go wrong with schaorma here either.“
“The best sushi to go! Sooo fresh and delicious every time-- it's melt in your mouth good. They are very generous with their cuts of fish. Nigiri is my favorite. Sweetest people as well! I live a bit far but this place is definitely worth the drive.“

The falafel was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and paired perfectly with their tangy tzatziki sauce.

“Only reason I don’t give it a 5 is because there has been a couple times where my order was supposed to be ready for take out and I had to wait 20 minutes for it. I come during my lunch hour so that’s a good half hour waisted because of the delay and then I just have 30 mins or less to shove the food basically. The workers seemed to be working pretty fast so I think it may be a short staffed issue.“
“I stayed at the Graduate in Evanston for a few days in July. I really liked the vintage style of the hotel building, and the friendly staff, but I was dismayed at how cold it was in the hotel because of the excessive air conditioning. I turned it off in our room as soon as we arrived and the temperature remained comfortable there during our whole stay. It seemed to me that the AC in the lobby, the restaurant, and the bar was actually set to a lower temperature than the heating would be in the winter. And there was a fire in the fireplace, with temperatures in the 80s and 90s outside and AC on! The Graduate Hotel management seems to be ignoring how important saving energy is right now, in light of global warming. Their blatant disregard for the environment sent a shiver down my spine in more than one way.“
“Wanted to love it more. Lots of rapport between staff and patrons so it’s clearly a real local regulars place. Tables are packed in tightly. Felt like I was in the space of the couple behind us especially when I stood up.Beef bourguignon was very pretty but underseasoned. No detectable red wine taste to the sauce or meat. Beet salad was declared “fine.” We started with the spring rolls which were good and the potstickers .. good except the sauce with ketchup and sweet chili notes was a bit overpowering. All the appetizers on the menu were Asian except focaccia and soup. Desserts were enjoyed. Cocktails were good.Funny to see menu highlights in google maps include tiramisu, scallops, and hangar steak, none of which were on offer during our visit.“
“Pescatarian Italian fusion restaurant that checks every box: excellent food, ranging from well done standards, such as handmade pasta, through intricate dishes with creative flavors; thorough drink menu (enjoyed the Fuji Whiskey); ample portion sizes; pleasant atmosphere hitting the sweet spot between modern and classic, with comfortable seating; great music that was not too loud or intrusive, Spanish classical guitar playing instrumental pop covers (did they play that flamenco Final Fantasy VII Cover for our anniversary?); and well timed service. Hands down the best Kosher restaurant at which I've ever eaten.Vegetarian options: Pescatarian restaurant with a plethora of delicious vegetarian options.“
“Meat pierogi are some of the best I've out outside of Poland. Potato pancakes are thicker, like they should be. And the sour soup was actually sour and not watered down for inexperienced palates (-:Kid-friendliness: Brought a stroller and breastfed during dinner no problem“
“I got a Philly cheesesteak sandwich from Eastern Pizza last night and boy! Was it Delicious. New standard. I’m a customer for life and I want another one right now!Perfect amount of meat very toasted garlic bread and right amount of toppings“
“Really enjoyed the food and service. Sadey was extremely accommodating, friendly and made for a really great experience for our family dinner. She was so knowledgeable about the menu and so kind to our kids. The deep dish is the best of all Chicago deep dish!“
“I've been coming here for the last few years, and I can proudly say that this place has the BEST Mexican food ever. The food is so delicious and the staff are amazing! I love this place so much! thank you to our waiter Angeles for such amazing services! I will be coming agian. Best food ever!.Kid-friendliness: Its super kid friendly!! amazing food for the kids and such a amazing vibe“
“We enjoyed dinner after a concert at the Winnetka Chapel. We enjoy sitting at the bar for quick service so we did and Raphael was our server. He was so nice and attentive. I had a delicious Blackberry and Bourbon cocktail to start while Craig had a craft beer. Lots to choose from for dinner! I wanted something light so chose the Beet and chicken salad. It had a light dressing on really fresh greens and freshly roasted beets and mandarin oranges. Craigs salad was Ahi Tuma on greens. I loved the marinade and intense freshness of his salad. Both salads had tender protein and very fresh greens. We loved the ambience and the personal attention. The staff all said good night as we left. If you want to watch soccer, the bar will accommodate.“
“Great pizza, maybe the best in the area. But they really need to figure out logistics. They always seem to need several hours' lead time on preparing a pizza. If you call them at 4:30 pm, good luck getting something before 7:00. Seems like they need to expand to get more oven space. I'd eat there more often, but I'm not always thinking about dinner at 1:00 in the afternoon and most of the time I call, it's too long of a wait before anything can be ready.“
“Great food, great service. We ate in the restaurant today (John was helpful and fun to talk with), but have gotten takeout and delivery in the past. We always have wonderful, friendly service; and the food is fresh and delicious. The lunch pizzas are a good portion size with a side, and the regular pizzas are great for dinners and leftovers.“
“Love the cosiness of the place and seem to have lots of return customers. It has a big selection of different combination of pasta and pizza, essentially any pasta can be made with any sauce. The portion was very generous. I tried the ceasar salad and it was good. The dressing is more garlicky than other places, but still good. The pasta was spinach pappardelle bolognese made with ground turkey. I also had side of sautéed spinach and meat ball.“
“Great little corner on Ashland and Farewell. They have some tables on the sidewalk.We love the pizza, the fried calamari and salads!Remember to order your ❤️ shaped pizza on Valentine's Day!Vegetarian options: Just ask your server. They are really accommodating.“
“I biked from Rodgers Park just to get my favorite sandwich, the Balboa. I love this place and the owner is super friendly. Service is fast and the taste is some of the best in the city. I always pick up a bottle of their secret sauce when I am here too it goes great on everything. Try the new lentil soup ?“
“Absolutely love this restaurant .The food is phenomenal. The wait staff are friendly and attentive.I would consider Greenhouse Inn one of the best in all of rogerspark and Evanston.If you have not ever been there please check it out you won't regret it.“
“Absolutely amazing. I was blown away by the flavor. Like no other Thai food that I have experienced. Beyond 5 stars. I was spellbound. If you like Thai food, you need to give this place a try. It's a shame I don't live in Chicago, because I find myself daydreaming about it and wanting to fly across a quarter of the country JUST to eat here!“
“Put this on your list of places to check out when you need to be nourished body and soul. This whole place feels like a warm,familiar hug. The vibes are welcoming and super chill. There's a counter with a few stools, some tables and chairs, or a couch and chairs to relax on. Got a hazelnut latter, which was amazing - not bitter, not overly sweet. I devoured the kale/sweet potato/quinoa bowl and freaking loved it. My partner enjoyed a breakfast burrito, which came with a side of fruit. Great service and ambiance. Will def stop by next time I'm in the area!.“
“Really tasty. Got a pan crust sausage, onion and giardiniera. Cooked to perfection. Wife kept stealing my crust because it was so good (she got the chopped salad. It was huge and delicious). We came in with a bunch of rowdy 10yr old boys after a soccer game and pretty much took the place over. They were very patient and accommodating. The kids really enjoyed their thin crust cheese, too! We will definitely be back.“
“Just ordered take out,got it home, and opened it up. The first thing I noticed is that it is very lightly sauced. I mean very,but it packs a Whole lot of flavor. All of the ingredients where fresh. I mean, I wanted to drive back over there just to tell them how good the food was.“
“I am so grateful to have accidentally walked past this place… it is so difficult to find someone local who has actually FRESH food. Not a thing in my salad is processed… even the carrots are hand chopped and fresh as can be. Will be returning for daily lunch without a doubt!“
“Not much to any of these restaurants but the food was great the manager explained the pizza and size cause we were about to buy way to much what he suggested was perfect stopped on the trip back home and bought take and bake for family in MN first time with this type deep dish not what I was looking for wanted traditional fresh style but was pleasantly happy Even though it's a chain.“
“Always a good, and totally proper, Chicago Dog at Portillo's. Fantastic food and service, every single time.Vegetarian options: This place is clearly for meat eaters... and it's fantastic!Parking: No problems.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy accessibility.“
“Wow! They have the best chicken noodle soup I've ever had. I'm a soup fanatic and have had tons of different chicken noodle soups & this hands down is exactly what you want in a CN soup! Lots of egg noodles that aren't mushy, good amount of carrots & celery. The chicken is white meat and so tasty & tender. Plus the price is awesome! Can't wait to try other soups. Also tried some lemon bars. They were good. I think it could be a little more tart! Nice and buttery.“
“It's a small restaurant with big food! You will want to go early because they don't reservations. Wine list could use an update. They were out of a particular Italian red wine on the list, and the white wines need an overhaul. Otherwise, everything was excellent.“
“We showed up and it was almost closing time one night after visiting family in the hospital. The entire staff was gracious and friendly and let us in for a quick supper while they cleaned up.Prices were great. The place was clean and the the staff diligent in their cleaning. They served our order quickly.My Italian Beef was the real deal. Nicely seasoned, on good fresh bread. Her rigatoni with marinara was very good too.Four stars for their food, plus one extra star for the late night hospitality.“
“I just got off an 11 hour plane ride from Japan. Lucky's hit the spot. They don't skimp out on the servings and the food is delicious and freshly cooked. Just what I needed! The staff was nice and noticed they greeted their regulars by name and talked to them. The place is clean and comfortable.“
“I’ve always been on Saturday evenings and even though it’s always been busy I’ve gotten a table without a wait. I wish they had a few more options besides just pasta. But, you do get what you came here for: lots of tasty, satisfying, salty carbs. My girls and I like the on-table trivia games.Kid-friendliness: Children’s menuOn-table video game thing“
“I just had lunch here today. The Detroit Style Pizza and salad delicious! All ingredients were fresh, their house made dressings were great. Nice, comfortable, clean environment.Entrance and bathroom are handicapped accessible. Staff was eager to please, and didn’t seem to mind that we talked for 2 hours. I will definitely go back, or order delivery. Try them out!“
“Our experience here today was a 5 star because of Dan! Giordano's needs more staff like Dan.There are many things that can make or break your experience when you go out to eat. And the most important is how you are treated, the friendly ness of the staff.Dan is very welcoming, informative, patient, pleasant and knows food. He helped with deciding our order.We were in for a pizza and so he suggested we should go with Meat lovers deep dish.Food was not disappointing.We will go again for a once more of the same experience!Kid-friendliness: Kids love Pizza and the restaurant is very spacious“
“This family-owned and run take-out restaurant never fails to impress and is our family's go-to for top notch deep dish pizza. We won't order anywhere else in the Chicagoland area for deep dish as nothing compares even remotely when it comes to flavor, quality, and very fair pricing. Thank you, Goode & Fresh, for providing consistently amazing food for our family and friends. Your business deserves more attention!“
“Grab slices at Mario’s it was delicious. Perfect mixture of cheese and crunchy crust. I highly recommend next time you want pizza to give this place a try. Met the owner couldn’t be nicer. I’ve lived in NB for a long time. Excited to have a new favorite. Please give it a try. We will be back to try their wings and broasted “
“Blue Horse Tavern, Lulu's, Taco Diablo, and Five & Dime are all connected if you were confused like I was originally. When you get seated at any dining area of these establishments, you can order from all the different restaurants menus. Very interesting concept, almost like a sit-down food court in a way, but I think the food and the atmosphere is way better than any food court I have been in. I enjoy the tacos at Taco Diablo (a little expensive, but still tasty), but my recent order of the full rack ribs was fantastic. The house sauce has a strong bourbon flavor, pretty interesting and unique. Great since I was really craving ribs and wanted to try ribs from a place I had never ordered them from before. I was pretty skeptical since this isn't a bbq place, but I was pleasantly surprised! The meat fell off the bone as we were cutting into the ribs, which was already a good sign. Theres a lot of dishes I still haven't tried, specifically from the Lulu's menu, so I'll have to come back and try those out!“
“Great overall experience. We ordered food to go and there was a mixup. Liz, the manager was extremely attentive and made it right. Everyone, from the person who took our order (though she misunderstood my order), the food preparers and the manager Liz were all very kind and helpful. Thank you again Liz. We'll be back!“
“A solid choice for burgers. BWB prides themselves on their smash burger, which comes tasty and gooey with cheese and grilled onions. They also offer a pub burger, for those who don't care for the smash style. It's good, but the smash burger is better. Their fries tend to be kinda dry and flavorless, so dressing them up with carne asada or truffle oil might be a good choice. Hot dogs are the standard Chicago dog, done right, tasty but not hard to find around here. The shakes are fine, but nothing stood out to me to make them worthy of the top billing they get here. BWB also offers bowls and chicken, haven't tried them. The venue is pretty much takeout only, although there is a table on the sidewalk nearby. Service is quick and friendly. If they had better fries, they'd be rock stars, as it is, I'm happy to come here when I'm looking for a good burger.“
“We are very particular about our pizzas and Northshore Pizza was exceptional! We ordered the stuffed pizza and wouldn't change a thing. -The crust is flavorful with a slightly crisp bottom ....perfect platform for the generous amount of cheese on top. The tangy sauce is delicious and brings the pizza to life. Even the customer service is great! These guys know what there doing! Definitely our new go-to.“
