“We had our Christmas Dinner there. It is a very nice venue for our family to enjoy food, fun and bonding time. This is not a restaurant so they do not serve food, however there was ample space to bring your spread and lay it out beautifully. The ambiance was great and there was plenty of room. Also, ample parking and the venue was easy to find. It was my first time there and I would definitely enjoy returning there in the future.“

“My husband Jack and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary tonight, and on a last minute whim he chose Bella Mia. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal, and I had to write this review immediately. The moment we walked in, we were greeted not only by the host and hostess, but also by several staff members and even guests at the bar. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, welcoming, and incredibly friendly. Pure class. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and perfectly accented with soft candlelight, making the evening feel special and intimate. We sat at the bar and were welcomed by Gina, the bartender, who was extremely attentive and genuinely kind, making us feel right at home. The food was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The owner, Randy, came by to greet us and his personality was truly infectious. He had us laughing nonstop and made our night even more memorable. We also had the pleasure of sitting next to Marcy and Dick, regulars who have been coming since day one. Even though this was our very first visit, we felt like part of the Bella Mia family. From the staff to the clientele, the love and pride behind this place are undeniable. Bella Mia is truly one of a kind and deserves all the recognition it receives. We felt all the love and will absolutely be back again and again. Jessica O’Grady“

“I just happened to crash out in Lansing Illinois for the night. This place was right down the road from my room. Had an old school look and a comfortable feeling. The bartender that waited on me was an absolute doll. She took great care of me. I got the twisted turkey sandwich and the rueben quesadilla. I really wasn't expecting much, but let me tell you they were both fantastic. They obviously only use grade A ingredients and it shows. If you're ever in Lansing illinois, JJ KELLEYS is a must stop.“

“Went here for the first time and what a treat! I love 50s stuff and this place is a hidden gem to me. I had an award winning experience from the minute we walked in. Total 50s decor and the aroma of fresh coffee and lively conversation was everywhere. The place is a bit small but so welcoming. They have tables and chairs and a counter to sit at. I felt like I took a step back in time. Love it!!!! I had a vegetarian skillet that was very delicious. The servers were excellent and so attentive to our needs. The place was extremely busy but was still working like a well oiled machine. Everyone was having a great time as I was looking about the room and enjoying everything the place had to offer. We will be going back again and can’t wait to try the other items they offer. Great job everyone!!!“

“Always enjoy me a little Denny's stopping for the $6 deals(which always end up being $9 anyways LOL) last time I was there awesome service short staffed on the cooks the server explained it very well and was on her job of keeping the coffee flow ago.. 🤣throughout the warting phase...“

“Great quality food , the chef was very polite and cashier was very sweet. I had a chicken sandwich along with 6 buffalo wings with an order of sandwich to go for breakfast the next day and the meal was delicious! I will sure be coming here more often next time I’m visiting again from New York“

“It's always a pleasure to go to Old Town the white people treat you so good down there the food is great the drinks is a reasonable price it won't hurt your pocket so I try my best stay away from black owned club because black owned club black owned places are too high and too expensive they hurt black people pocket so old town is the place to go I'm keeping all this 100 💯“

“It was a fun time I had a wonderful day“

“I had brunch here today with a friend, first time here. I had the corned beef benedict and not only was it the best corned beef I've ever had in my life, but the orange juice was amazing, the service was great, and the value was fabulous also! Will definitely be back and plan to possibly go once a week with friends! 10 out of 10 recommend!“

“Stopped in tonight to celebrate my son’s birthday and they went above and beyond to make him feel special on his big day! Small acts of kindness go such a long way and the smile he had on the rest of the night is proof of that! Thank you!“

“Came in to the dining room to eat in around 8 or 8:30 p.m. Was not greeted by young woman at counter when I came in. Stood there several minutes waiting on husband and reading menu. Several people in the kitchen being loud and throwing things at each other. When he came in and we went to the counter she greeted us. Took our order. Pleasant enough. Another girl was wiping trays. We grabbed drinks. Area needed to be wiped down but the napkins, straws, lids, and ketchup area were all stocked. Went to dining room and had to go to 5 tables to find a clean one. Food came out quickly. They have changed their burgers. They are thin as paper. Like meat crepes. Seriously. Bacon was cooked the way I like it. Husband and I ordered the same sandwich, only he got a double. Apparently that changes the type of bun you get because mine was a regular hamburger bun wrapped in paper and his was a fluffy sandwich bun in a paper bowl. Receipt reflected we paid for two of the same sandwiches. So who knows the thought process there. Finished and dumped our tray. Didn't bother getting ice cream.“

“I've been a customer of Mary's since she first opened, hobbling around on a leg scooter with an injured foot her first couple of weeks in business! She has developed Caffe Milan into an absolutely incredibly delicious, dependable deli & catering service! We've never been disappointed whether it's been for a yummy sandwich or a catered order for a family event or a fundraiser! 10 stars!“

“This Culvers has the best employees! They are always greeting us with a smile! My daughter cannot eat Gluten or Dairy and they always accommodate us with a Gluten Free Bun. Never a mistake! Best food and Custard!“

“Best beef around! Prices is great the fries are amazing they are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Hana helped me out because I’ve never been there before and said the Italian beef was good and she did not miss! Great staff and great food 10/10 will come again!“

“everything is great u never had I highly recommend u do 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Good food…but loaded mash potatoes which is priced extra were hard and cold.“

“the food is amazing and the staff are super kind!“

“Absolutely the Best Breakfast. Don't be fooled by copycat name from another place. the one and only STACKED has only two locations. OakLawn & Crestwood.“

“Well, if they cook your food properly, it's not bad... however, if they don't and you need to send it back to cook it (not a fan of raw burgers 🤷‍♀️) and it comes back the same way... be prepared to not eat and pay for the meal anyway. I asked for it to be removed from our bill (over $100 total so not just a couple things) and they removed it after a small "fight" but literally charged us for a basket of fries cuz I ate a few fries off my plate, I guess. they don't take care of their mistakes nor do they care to make things right. Lost future business, everyone at the table was shocked.“

“Chris was a fantastic server.. He was absolutely phenomenal on the ball and had a great spirit about him .. the food is amazing.. Thanks Chris for making us feel like family.“

“I went here because a coworker of mine told me about their mushroom swiss burger. The staff were friendly and my order came quickly. Granted, it was the slower part of the day but still great service. I can appreciate that.

After trying the burger, I noticed that I didn't get that bloated or weighed-down feeling. The burger was good, the fries were good and I liked the shake. It took a spoon to really get into it, but that's to be expected when having a thick shake. All around great experience in my book.“

“I love this Culvers, every timeI I have encountered this establishment all of the staff is so friendly and always smiling.I have never seen anything like this.They are so polite and respectful.The food is amazing and the best place we have in Crete. ,“
