“Great food! Tried it on a whim when traveling from Chicago and the food is some of the best shawarma I've had in a while. The price for lunch is incredible for the insane amount you get as well!”

“Very kind staff. I wish that I could remember her name. Great service is definitely part of a "Best Around Me" experience!!! Dave's Hot Chicken is a Best Around Me, am I right?”

“Delicious food with reasonable price!”

“I recommend everything on the menu. Baldarotta’s is incredible. I’m Italian myself and I’ve never had any Italian food more authentic than here. I’m also a relatively picky eater and I know with certainty that I could literally order anything on the menu and be shouting its deliciousness. And it’s even delicious as carry out or as leftovers when no longer technically “fresh.” A must try and you’ll absolutely return. We come from 40 minutes away solely to dine here.”

“Amazing food for a great price.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Smith Burgers. We have had over half the items on their menu and have never found something we didn't like. My favorite 2 items are the Swiss N Shroom and Bacon Mac Attack Ripper. If you haven't tried them yet, do it. You won't be disappointed.”

“If you want good food...... The Burrito Lab isn't just another fast-casual spot – it's a place where you can get genuinely great food served with a side of genuine warmth. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the incredibly friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff acted less like servers and more like old friends, greeting me with such enthusiasm that it felt like I was a regular. What was even more surprising was that they remembered me from a single previous visit! This kind of personal touch is rare and truly makes The Burrito Lab stand out. But the exceptional service is only half the story; the food itself is truly outstanding. Compared to the often bland and processed offerings of big chain fast-food companies, The Burrito Lab's food is in a different league altogether. The flavors are fresh, vibrant, and genuinely satisfying. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and it's clear that they take pride in what they serve. It's the kind of food that leaves you feeling good, not just full. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a satisfying dinner, The Burrito Lab offers a refreshing alternative to the usual fast-food fare. The combination of delicious, high-quality food and a genuinely friendly, welcoming staff makes this a place I'll definitely be returning to again and again. If you're in the area and looking for a burrito that tastes like it was made with care, served by people who genuinely appreciate your business, then The Burrito Lab is a must-try. It's more than just a meal; it's a genuinely pleasant experience.”

“The pastries and everything are so fun and pretty and always delicious!”

“Dinner was fantastic. Service was superior. Wonderful evening and can’t wait to eat here again!”

“We made it a point to hit both Champaign-Urbana locations during our visit, and both were genuinely busy — which tells you something. We actually bought the very first gift card this location ever sold. The trainee processing it had to be walked through the whole transaction, but the staff handled it graciously and we didn't mind. When we came back and used the card to order the steak shawarma meal with fries (plus a second order of fries), they threw in complimentary falafel for our patience — a small gesture, but a good one. The food is solid. The steak shawarma wrap is well-built — the tahini, tomatoes, and onions work together. And the fries deserve a special mention: they were honestly the best fries we've had at any shawarma establishment, which is exactly why we ordered a second round. They skip the plain salt and use what tastes like a house seasoning blend — layered, flavorful, and genuinely addictive. That alone is worth remembering when you order. That said, if you've eaten your way through some of the shawarma heavyweights in Kingston and St. Catharines, Ontario, or hit the spots down in Fort Lauderdale, you'll notice the portion sizes run a little smaller here and the flavor ceiling on the shawarma itself is a notch or two lower. It passes comfortably — it just doesn't quite hit that peak tier. Staff were friendly and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they're doing, even under the pressure of a packed house. This is a high-volume campus operation and they wear it well. Worth a stop if you're in C-U — and whatever you order, don't skip the fries.”

“From the omakase to their lunch items and the baked goods, Chambana is fortunate to have a place like this. I have not had a bad meal here. Ken and Kaori are also amazing, always friendly and know how to take care of their patrons. Love this place!!”

“This brewery has some great brews. I did a flight & had a hard time figuring out which one to have a pint of! I went with Peach & Vanilla Ale. The Kolsch was really good & flavorful. The brewery itself was airy & comfortable feeling plus could accommodate a few people.”

“Excellent food and service!!! Tons of options. Can't wait to go back.”
