“I was the day of coordinator for a recent wedding that rented out MadCats for their after party. I worked with Sauvio who had great communication and is super personable & a great host. He worked the event!! Great expert. Great food. And an incredible atmosphere for all the guests. Everyone had a great time!!“
“We love JJ Twigs. The pizza is always hot and fresh and they have really good sauce & cheese. The beef sandwich with cheese on garlic bread is hands down the best around. We typically get delivery and the drivers are professional and polite. The one time we ate there the service was good, the server was hustling to keep everyone happy and fun to talk to. A low key atmosphere and ok to bring the kids!“
“Cheers. This is a quintessential dive bar where everybody eventually knows your name. A good place to be alone or regale with friends. I’ve visited at least a half dozen times and the experience has been fine. Trish and the other bartenders have been attentive and quite friendly. I’ll be back time and time again.“
“Went there for my 60th birthday and 3 days later for a blue cheese burger. Fantastic service and food. Only issue is they need to add some lower tables to bar area for people with disabilities that can't get onto bar stools. Will definitely be going back.Wheelchair accessibility: Hard to get through bar area with a walker because so many people are standing around visiting each other.“
“Kind staff food was ok but their tiramisu was amazing! I’m such a lightweight so I don’t drink often, but the tiramisu made me go to this brewery every week.You need to wait a long time when they’re busy because they don't have enough servers but I could feel that they were doing their best.“
“The squirrel and his wife went there for lunch. The dining room wasn't open sat in a bar area. The bar is a bar suitable for evening snacks and bar food. seating is very limited they don't take reservations The food was good, not great, but good for the price.“
“3/2024 4* Love the food! Was excellent! Service was from Lexi, and she did everything with a bright smile. It is a bit noisy for me. I was only there for lunch, but can imagine it would be much louder at dinner time. We will probably be back. But only for lunches.“
“When it comes to ambiance "shack" pretty much sums it up : ) However, when it comes to wings, Gators is the place to be. Their wings are meaty, juicy, and tasty. I ordered the barbecue wings, and they were slathered in a sweet, rich sauce, just the way I like 'em. The service is always very good too. Highly recommended if you like wings! Cost is premium, about $25 (including tip) for 10 bone in wings and fries, no drink included.“
“I will absolutely be returning to this restaurant. Highly recommend it either for a date night or a fun group outing. Their drinks and margaritas were all delicious and not too sweet. The flight of Mezcal was a great experience. I love mezcal but never had tried different kinds before. The waitress was attentive and nice. The chicken poblano enchiladas were delicious, highly recommend! We also ordered the guacamole trio and ceviche appetizers which isn't pictured because we devoured them pretty quickly.“
“We came by to Moe's after hearing about an advertisement for a special brunch event, and we were floored by the wonderful people running this place! They were very friendly and inviting, and held a simple but classic brunch with mimosas and the atmosphere was kind and caring! We haven't been to it in the evening as a bar, but this brunch special is something they'd like to run monthly and we'll worth it!“
“This was a great find!!! The service was outstanding! The drinks were phenomenal. The food was seasoned well, perfect temp and large portions. My husband and I just stopped in for lunch. He ordered traditional combo fajitas and I ordered 2 steak tacos and one shrimp taco. We also ordered a side of black beans, I do not recommend the black beans. The guava margarita was soooo good. This guacamole was the best in lake county, hands down!!!!“
“I enjoyed the Escargot, Oyster Rockefeller, three cheese potatoes, Mac and Cheese, an the cocktails. Steaks looked great and large enough to share. But the most important item was the bar service staff! They were amazing! I recommend anyone going!“
“Hands down one of the best restaurants I've been to. A beautiful place with a great vibe. They have a bar in the main dining area which is great if you're looking to hangout after dinner. The staff was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was so friendly and fun! Every dish we had was SPECTACULAR!!!. We ordered about 8 dishes and every single one was delicous. You can tell they use high quality products/ingredients. Lastly, the price we paid for this 10 STAR experience was too low in my opinion. I would easily pay triple the amount for this place. We'll be going back very soon. Maybe this weekend! ;) 10 STARS for Bar Salotto!!!“
“We LOVE this restaurant, and will always come back for a fun/delicious night out, but we always seem to have something missing or incorrect with our order. The servers are very nice/accommodating, but it would be preferable to have our orders come out correctly the first time.“
“This place was AMAZING!!! The waitresses and waiters were extremely polite and helpful with anything you requested or asked. The Food was DELICIOUS!! I would highly recommend eating there and tasting their amazing Calamari and seafood soup!! Actually it may not have been soup but the juice of the meal which was Mussels with some vegetables in this phenomenal juices. They simply are creators of amazing flavors and Definitely worth the value of their meals. ?“
“AMAZING! I go to restaurants comparing them to Morton’s because l had an amazing time here! Food AMAZING the steak MUAH! the chefs know how to cook! The service was great! The drinks so good and the butter and bread forget about it. The baked potatoes UGH I want more ? this place is the only place that has gotten 10/10 for me 5 stars and I mean it! Can’t wait to go back!“
“If anyone likes Polish food, the POLISH AMERICAN BISTRO in Barrington is amazing. So authentic, delicious, clean & owners are very friendly. Small, casual with great desserts too. They give you plenty to eat. If Borscht is soup of the day, I highly recommend it. 8 of us loved our various meals & will return! We want what the other guy had haha!Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking right in front. Plenty of room to wheel even in the bathroom. Appropriate hand grips & toilette height.“
“Nice, very tiny place. Good beer. Seating is not the most comfortable, lots of backless bar stools and small tables. Within the location is a business where they press cremated ashes into diamonds. Fine. But then brewery stuff is stored in the dead people processing partitioned space. I don't get it.“
“Everything we had was delicious and truly in hefty amounts, so much we left alot to discard unfortunately (we were flying so no way to package it up).. Waiters very pleasant and great at making suggestions.. If you like a strong flavorful drink, Try the dacquiri or mojito! Awesome!“
“No wake is great. The servers and bartenders are really friendly. The prices at this bar are always reasonable. I always enjoy the food when I visit. Atmosphere is fun too. This bar is popular but gets more crowded in the summer months. Located on the Fox River it's always fun to stop while boating. They also have gas for refueling boats. There are also a lot machines and there is outdoor seating in the summer months. I would highly recommend visiting no wake.“
“Always a great experience at Mambo. We had a bigger party and our server was great. He was extra kind to my toddler, which was so appreciated.Please add a changing table to the men’s restroom.Sincerely, a family who has babies that need to be changed and want to go with Daddy.“
“The reason for my 4-star atmosphere review is that sometimes the restaurant feels cramped. It's a small restaurant, but that never sways my decision not to go here any chance I get!For many years, we've been indulging in this delicious gem! We've been to many fine French bistros, but this one takes the cake ? the food is delightful with flavors that satisfy a foody plate. It's not only the food, but the waitstaff is superb! There is a particular waiter that makes you feel like you're dining in France, and he's known you for years (this particular experience was in 2023, so if you're lucky, he'll be your waiter).If you're ever in the mood for a lovely meal, I recommend D&J BISTRO.Bon Appétit!“
“My husband and I have been coming here for years. The owners, Chris and Nikki and the bartender, Monica are always welcoming and take good care of us. Nice atmosphere, good company, lots of tvs if you want to watch the game, great music playing in the background. The food is always very good and freshly made. Some of our favorites are the chicken kabobs, the Jerry's Special, and the burgers, which are excellent! Half price martinis on Wednesdays with a long list of options to choose from. We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday there and they were very accommodating and everyone had a great time!“
“Dear Jimmy D's, We cheated on you today to go try the bird's nest for lunch. I'm eating the buffalo wrap right now & it pales in comparison to yours. Whoever reads this, don't go to Bird's nest to "see if it's good." Instead, just keep going to Jimmy D's, where the service is great & the food is always delicious. Again, we're sorry we cheated on you to try Bird's Nest. We love you Jimmy D's. Sincerely, The people with the small children & the grandparents that come in all the time.“
“My OG go to. It's not a great place for a beer selection, so don't come here for that, but the food is good, and the staff are great, very attentive and very friendly. There are some good deals like the 20 taco tray. I love the Birilla de Borrego. Latin music is lit, and it's a very comfortable vibe.“
“Excellent choice for Restaurant week. You can't go wrong with the three course option or four. The prime rib was cooked to perfection. The spiced margarita was delicious. One suggestion- use Tajin instead of salt on the rim.This was our first time here. Looking forward to seeing the space during the summer. All of our guest enjoyed the night. See you soon.“
“The menu and taplist are great! Something for everyone! Plenty of vegetarian and carnivore options, most beer styles well-represented. Lots of local gems on the tap list, amazing selection of bottles and top shelf whiskey wall, and superb specialty cocktails. Great service-Real good people.“
“A Chicago-style 'beer before' and 'beer and a shot' after work drinking establishment. Wonderfully unpretentious with excellent bartenders. We spent most of our time drinking, so no complaints on the price. Washrooms could use a little more attention, but not a deal breaker.“
“This is absolutely one of the best and most authentic virtual golf simulators Ive played.Of course the putting is always the wild card but the drives, irons and chips were truly spot on.Nice facility and the help were awesome as well.I'm definitely will be heading back during this winter season“
“I enjoyed my first time eating at Maggiano's. We celebrated my sis in law's birthday there. We ordered chicken entrees and pastas. The servings were enormous and they even have an option to order take home for a cheaper price. We tried their desserts-- the New York style cheesecake was just okay but their Tiramisu was so good. Since it was a birthday lunch, they served a piece of Tiramisu with a lighted candle for the celebrant. We were so full and still had lots of take-homes..Kid-friendliness: There were some toddlers from another table and saw that they were seated on a high chair and looked comfortable. The placement of tables and chairs were not cramped so the kids could somehow run around.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp at the entrance and the wheelchair could be freely pushed inside and fit into the dining area.“
“Made my trip to the suburbs much brighter.The staff are phenomenal. Totally engaging and knew their beers. The music wasn't loud enough to be offensive, but it was enough to keep a kid who grew up with thrash pretty happy.The food wasn't too bad, either!“
“I really liked the place. The restaurant is very cute inside and has a nice bar. We ordered a couple margaritas which were good. The all you can eat chips were amazing along with the salsa. My only complaint was my dinner was so spicy and it was just fish tacos. My other friends also complained about the same thing. One had shrimp tacos and the other shrimp enchiladas. I've been to many Mexican restaurants and don't remember those types of dishes being that spicy. All in all I would come back again as drinks and chips were very good.“
“We have been searching for decent “Chinese” food since moving to mchenry 8 months ago and NOTHING in the area was even close to being good. This was the first time I’ve had it since moving and I can FINALLY say we found the place. The egg rolls were so good, which is usually my biggest test on a place! The beef egg food young was also great, no big chunks of onions either. It was a good portion of ingredients, and the flavor was spot on. My husband had the chicken fried rice and orange chicken and he said it was really good - he usually says “it was fine” whenever we get Chinese, so this is a big compliment coming from him. The service getting the food was quick and still warm when we got it. I do remember coming here years ago, and remember it being really a great atmosphere and really good. So luckily with Uber Eats, we were able to have it delivered. I am thrilled to say I FINALLY found my go to spot!!!!“
“Went on a whim on Friday and had a great experience with Lizzie. She was patient and super helpful when making recommendations. Literally everything she suggested was to die for. Can't wait until I'm back in the area ....... making sure Lizzie is working before heading in!“
“This place is simply amazing. I went there for a paint n sip and instantly knew I'd like to host an event there. I decided to have my 30th birthday party there. I rented out the private area, where you had the option of having your own DJ and personal Bartender. David, the owner, worked with me closely throughout the process. From helping me choose a DJ to helping with the food options. He made sure during the night that me and my guests were happy and satisfied. It was definitely a vibe there! All the guests had a great time and enjoyed the atmosphere. DeeJay Nez was great. He understood the assignment! The Theme was "Back to the 90s" he played a great mix of 90s/2000s. If you want to have a good time and relax, or need a space to host a party, I definitely recommend Social Bar and Grill! You won't be sorry! The food was amazing, music great, staff was friendly and attentive. 5 stars for this place. I'll definitely be back for their themed nights and to host another party! Thank David for a great time!“
“I can say that this a good place to grab some beers and food. Great service, even after a week of going for the first the guy at the Bar knew what beers my buddies and I had the first time. Good ambiance although it does lack vegetarian options. We did have their Spinach Artichoke dip with chips, tots and pretzel. They do have board games, cards, Jenga game. Live singing on Fri night (not too loud), decent number of TVs to watch Sports.“
“It is a nice place, adaptable to the English - Spanish language, excellent service and a very calm atmosphere.Parking: Approximately 20 to 25 parking spacesKid-friendliness: Yes, with child seatsWheelchair accessibility: It is totally adequate“
“Zin is a place that we don't visit often. The food is decent enough, but an extremely limited menu. The service was slow on a night where it wasn't very crowded, and I would say our meals were above average but definitely not something that I would recommend as a must go to. It's a decent place to meet friends for a cocktail maybe a couple of appetizers really more than anything else.“
“WOW-ZAH! The Blue Heron Cafe!!have been craving a good burger - for weeks. So I decided to try a place nearby with a great word-of-mouth following & reputation.WHAT A FIND ( ok, NEW= To Me)This was the most amazing Char grilled-hand made Burger I've had in YEARS!! All topped with sweet grilled onions & the freshest butter lettuce, ripe juicy tomatoes, & BBQ sauce (on the side)......this level of burger was totally unexpected! I got a lovely fresh salad on the side- Yum!The Blue Heron Cafe = is WAY more than a local sports bar! ☆☆☆☆☆ Cheers to the Chef! And to your sweet bartenders!“
“This place is awesome as staff and customers are very friendly and food is always good. If you want something light the vegetable soup is great and comes with a warm dinner roll. Bar service is great and there are daily food and drink specials. Pizza is also excellent!!!“
“I wish I lived closer. I absolutely love coming here. The service is excellent. The good is very good. They won because every keeps their expectations low because it's bar food, but it's actually very good. And the vibe here is just fun! I had one of the best salads I've ever eaten. The Thai Spinach salad. Soooo good and spicy! Loved it! We also had the Spinach artichoke dip, which was fabulous. My 17 yr old son had the 8pc wings and a burger with a sunnyside up egg on it. He loved it and said it was the best burger he has ever had.Vegetarian options: There are options, but it's not a separate menuParking: The parking is essentially the end of the Costco parking, so it can be crowded.“
“Today is Feb. 19th. 2021. 4 of us went to Eddie's for the famous fish fry. It was truly excellent. And the tartar sauce is brilliantly different. What impressed me the most is the social distancing that's happening inside at the tables. I was concerned however they did a great job and kept well within the state's/towns guidelines. This was my first time eating in a restaurant since the pandemic started almost a year ago. It was a special occasion and I'll stay home again/carry out for the time being but I was satisfied with everything tonight. Service 5/5 Fish 5/5 Shrimp Dinner 5/5 Social distancing 5/5“
“Kareoke and dancing on Friday and Saturday nights. Google notified me of a past review and photo getting a lot of views. A really diverse menu of solid Mexican, Spanish lunches and dinners. Fantastic deserts and not too busy where you can bring a date or the family and have an excellent experience. Would add a better photo from Butterfield and Rt 45 Vernon Hills Illinois if I had on this device. Some nice ones from Kareoke and dancing on Instagram.“
“Every bar has a gimmick. Nowadays a lot of them getting too gimmicky. Not this place no gimmick. Hard to find in Chicago.Tried to drink all of their $4 tall boy PBR. The chicken quesadilla, how I got me and my coworker home. If I wasn’t in town on business I would’ve drank all their $4 tall boy PBR.In all seriousness, was told they were under new management. Obviously it’s working. Staff was entertaining, locals were non stop entertainment, food was crème de la crème of bar food.“
“I had my wife’s birthday celebration dinner (party of 12) at 5:30 pm yesterday (located in the private dinning room). The entire experience - start to end was beautifully executed by the management and staff. An absolutely outstanding experience! The table was beautifully decorated, the room was very appealing, and very importantly the entire restaurant is acoustically set up to allow for comfortable table conversation (it’s not too loud).The waiter, Nate (Nathan), was very professional, attentive, and proficient. He had a great personality and sense of humor. The service was as good as it can get! The other’s assigned to our table did a nice job executing good service as well. The quality (in every regard) of all of our meal choices was absolutely superb! We eat out often (Italian and otherwise), you can’t get a better tasting meal at this price point anywhere else.Closing thought: my wife and I, as well as another couple frequent this establishment occasionally throughout the years, and it is always consistently an outstanding experience.I would highly recommend you consider this restaurant for your future dinning needs.Thank you - everyone involved last night! My wife and I are so grateful to you all.5 - STARS“
“Great place and time! Our waitress was very attentive but Jeanine was fantastic! She came by multiple times to check on, talk to us and ensure everything was going well.Love Emerson’s! Outside of the price of the bourbon, it was a little high at $16 a piece for Basil Hayden and no anejo tequila, no complaints at all!We will definitely be back but bourbon is off the menu.“
“My family and I love this place. The food is delicious and you can get great non- alcoholic drinks as well.Sam the server is simply the best.He always has a smile and is very attentive to his customers. Enjoy the tropical atmosphere as well.“
“We booked my son’s 1st birthday party here because we really loved the four seasons room they had. The food was very good! The server Beth, we had was very sweet and nice to everyone. However I just wish she was a bit more tentative with supplying the things we needed. We had “open bar” for beer and wine for a part of the party but I believe there was some miscommunication from one of the bartenders to the guests about that.. We also didn’t have enough tables/chairs for the amount of people we had even though we gave them a final count a week before the party. I did have to clean up most of my guests plates myself too which was a little disappointing. And I also had to keep going up to the bar to ask for more plates, plasticware, napkins and cups. I realize this is a bar, not a banquet hall but I think we just expected a little more attention from what we got. Overall food was very good and I would have a party there again.Parking: Not too many spots“
“Excellent mocktails and ambiance. Also, great piano music. The bartender was extremely organized and attentive to all her customers. She's basically a one-woman-army: bartender/barback/manager combined into one. Furthermore, I was impressed with her ability to deal with drunk patrons. Sadly they don't have a kitchen.“
“Great food! Appetizer of vegetable samosa was very tasty. I had a paneer dish, husband had a lamb dish, kids had butter chicken, all delicious & served hot! Naan was a great addition. We were served quickly and the atmosphere was romantic. We will definitely be back!“
