“My friend and I stopped in at Firewater BBQ in Elmhurst on Thursday Dec. 1st for the "Granny's Lunch Box Special" which is available daily from 11AM-2PM. This was my second visit and my friend's first at Firewater. We both ordered the Angus beef brisket sandwich with a side of 3 cheese Mac & Cheese and a soda. The brisket (smoked for 22 hrs) is amazingly tender and flavorful. It was piled high on a toasted brioche bun and is served with your choice of sweet or spicy BBQ sauce or both if you like. The Mac & Cheese is sooo silky-smooth and creamy and compliments the brisket quite well. There are complimentary pickled jalapeños and sweet & spicy pickles available as well. My friend was so impressed by this amazing brisket that he placed another exact order to go to bring home. The cashier who also took our order was very friendly and polite. We told one of the chefs, Shawn, (pictured) that we really enjoyed the brisket and complimented his skills. My friend and I will both be returning to Firewater BBQ and we'll definitely be letting our family and friends know about this wonderful BBQ spot.“

“Amazing local bbq and an ever changing weekend menu, highly recommend trying!“

“First time here, definitely will be back to to try the food“

“We have catered holiday meals from various different restaurants and they all have been good- but yesterday’s Thanksgiving turkey was the best we have ever had. Everyone agreed - everything was great, but typically a few of us don’t care much for actual turkey but yesterday was an exception. Thank you!“

“Tasty barbecue chicken. Came with baked potato and coleslaw .“

“I gave five stars because I absolutely love they turkey tips I stumbled upon this location last month and I have been recommending my customers to go there but today was a very bad experience for me and I probably won’t be returning because the lady at the counter today was very very very rude to me and I truly don’t appreciate that. This is my first time seeing her there it’s usually a nice gentleman man that works there I asked her may I have a bag please for my food she turned around and looked at me with disgust and said “I’m going to put it in a bag “then took the bag and threw it on the counter at me I’m so glad that I’m more in to my church now because she almost took me there but the devil is a lie. So sad because I actually love their turkey tips. I don’t understand why people work at an establishment that they don’t like or don’t like being there because to me customer service is everything especially when I spending my hard earned money.“

“Great food, Great service. Everything I had was delicious.“

“delicious food ample portions, terrific homemade sauces...“

“Driving past and saw that this was opening I am assuming it is the karate boys from Canada. I tried it there a few weeks ago. I’m hoping just just as great here.
The only tip I would give the restaurant is the Naans weren’t that great they weren’t like true Naans and secondly, I think Canadian Indian food is second best in the world after England so no slight on the Indian food here but it’s nowhere near the standard. I am looking forward to trying this place eventually when it opens and read reviews are based on food, service, ambience and quality.“

“Stopped by the restaurant after work and what a great decision! Got the rib tips and fries but can't wait to try more! I've met John Jr. in the past but had the pleasure of being served by Sr. today. Such an amazing family very warm and inviting would definitely recommend for your next event or just an evening meal for the family. Thanks guys👌🏾❤“

“We loved everything! The rapid service, the atmosphere and the waiter was amazing (Olivera)! Will definitely come back! 😃🍽️“

“Their Santa Fe salad is something I crave almost every day! Please open a location near Bartlett!!! I think I’d be there every day“

“Bbq + tacos, yes please. BBQ Chicken Taco with pico de gallo, cilantro, Pulled Pork Taco caribbean salsa, pico de gallo & spicy lime aioli and Brisket Burnt Ends Taco with chimichurri, slaw and cilantro. At $3.50 to $4.00 a taco, they were small. But they were tasty. #spicemeister approved.“

“Slyce of NY has amazing food , vibe and staff! We plan to definitely come back again as a family as the pizza and rice bowls were a hit with us and the little one.“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“What an excellent eating experience!! The waiter was friendly and seemed to anticipate our requests. It was my first time in a Korean restaurant and I was glad that my son accompanied me and explained the various foods and choices. It was SO comfortable and enjoyable! The food was AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional eating experience!!“

“wonderful food and affordable and tasty“

“We have been going to Russell's 50 plus years. Everything has always been amazing from the ribs falling off the bone to the original pulled pork sandwich that was so good. The last 3 time it has not been enjoyable. Tried it again last night the ribs were dry over cook not falling off the bone. Very disappointing. Four of us had them and all four was said they were terrible. Salad had to be returned. Baked potato was old. So disappointed, we drive 50 mile for this. Please fix it! Go back to your original recipe!“

“Authentic and Delicious!
Dukat is a cozy little spot with amazing Balkan food! Everything tastes homemade — the ćevapi, sarma, and fresh bread were outstanding. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels just like home. A true hidden gem!“

“We had an event at Nobel House on a Sunday afternoon. The staff was great and the food was out of this world. We had about 40 people and many told me how much they liked the food , atmosphere and service. Thanks to everyone there for making it great.“

“customer service was excellent and precise pretty Black Woman Sandra and Handsome cook Tony Best Hotdog I have ever had better than Portillo’s Clean establishment and had to give an compliment when due to staff“

“My fiancé and I have been a gyro war. I’m a Skokie Dengeos girl and he’s a diehard Squabs fan. While it’s hard to compete with childhood memories after trying Squabs I totally get it. The gyro was perfectly cooked, the tzatziki was beautiful, the fries were delicious. The absolute standout was the customer service. I was having such a bad day. I confused the gyro plate with the gyro dinner and they took such good care of me. I had cried the whole ride over and left with the biggest smile and a plate of leftovers. 10/10 I will be coming back every chance I get.“

“chili is great sandwiches are great“

“Absolutely delicious! The hot and sour soup brought the heat, but didn't over power the flavor. We also had a variety of the dim sum, the best was the pot stickers. Fun atmosphere, great service“

“This place is an absolute Hit! If you love Chicken and traditional Eastern European/Balkan food this place is the place to be!“

“I really enjoyed my first visit to LongHorn Steakhouse. I’ve heard about it for a while but never had the chance to try it until now.

The highlight of the meal was the Outlaw Ribeye, which was easily one of the best steaks I’ve had. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The loaded potato and fries were both solid, but the real surprise was the mac and cheese, it’ll definitely be my go-to side from now on.

As for the service, it was a bit inconsistent. The restaurant wasn’t full, as we were seated right away without a reservation, which made the slower, somewhat disorganized service a bit surprising. One of our sides was served cold, which was disappointing.

That said, I wouldn’t hold it against them since the overall food quality was excellent. I still had a great experience overall and would definitely come back. Hopefully, the service will be smoother on our next visit.“

“Extremely polite staff that makes sure you are doing good and have what you need. Prime rib is phenomenal however you have to make sure you get there early. They will run out by 6pm regularly so if that is what you want make sure to get there around 3. Other food is amazing as well tho so you shouldn’t be disappointed“

“If you want excellent food come here. This is the spot you have to try!!! My wife and I easily agree that they have the best tasting burgers. The service is always great. The restaurant is super clean at all times! The staff are all so friendly and helpful. As hungry customers we are so lucky to have a restaurant like this close by.“
