“Came here after the Zoo this evening with the family. The young man and young woman running the shop were really nice and polite. I got the cucumber lime and spicy watermelon ice cream. it was amazing. Reasonably priced also.”

“Love this place, and right down the street from me! The food is delicious! 😋 Just wish they opened a little earlier for breakfast!”

“Hands down one of if not the best Thai food in Chicago, I’ve been to loads of thai food places in the north side and nothing compares to this one, run by a small team, awesome people always put customer first. Food was fantastic come experience this and you won’t disappoint!!”

“Love this place! Every sandwich is delicious! Plz update your website with a better quality menu. You can’t really read anything on it, your website is great besides that. Every time I’ve ordered it’s been a guessing game, but that’s how I know everything is great!”

“My wife and I eat regularly at Estancia for dinners and lunch. IMO it is tasty with reasonable portions and good prices. Overall it is better then some of the larger Mexican restuarants in the area with a casual atmosphere and great customer service. Too many persons fall for the ambiance of a place and don't get quality or authentic Mexican food. In warm weather their small patio is very inviting with plenty fo parking nearby.”

“I have the avocado lotto and it was plenty so much that I have enough for supper. The fruit was fresh and plentiful. The tunafish and cottage cheese were excellent. The patty melt with onions was cooked perfectly. It came with a cup of soup and a generous portion of coleslaw. We will definitely come back here again.”

“Had the empanadas today at the Dia de los Muertos event in Homewood. You guys need to advertise more because they’re fantastic and that chimichurri sauce is to die for! You should be a household name!”

“Best Venue in Batavia, the owner Melissa is a Godsend. The food is outstanding and the staff are all super welcoming and fun. We love playing here every year. The Beer Garden is #1 if you haven’t checked it out yet… what’s wrong with you???”

“It's actually a gift store with tons of beanie babies and garbage from eBay. There were some items called 'antique' probably in the literal sense, it's been sitting there forever. I did buy some stuff though like Porcelain fisherman for my dad and some musicians with odd expressions”

“A delivery app made a mistake with my order. LaBarra took charge and the general manager personally delivered 2 delicious pizzas to make up for the outside apps mistake. Above and beyond! Thank you!”

“The food was amazing quality everything tasted so fresh and homemade. I felt like my own grandmother had made it. I definitely recommend this restaurant. I live about 45 minutes away and I just am driving by for a repair job, but if I lived in the area, I would be eating here all the time!”

“Been coming here since I was a kid and now bringing my kid! Dorthy is always kind and the food is always fresh! Well worth the price to feed our family! Thank you!”

“We visited BZ Red Hots at Brookfield Zoo today. We had a wonderful time at the zoo and the best part in my opinion was taking a break for lunch at BZ Red Hots. Service was awesome! Ellise helped us with ordering our food and drinks at the kiosks. She was such a pleasaure with a big smile on her face. I'm sure she's one of her manager's favorite employees if not THE favorite. Thank you again for all your help Ellise. Food was great too. 😊”

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3”

“Outstanding! Highly recommended Knowledgeable, friendly staff and incredible experience”

“Great happy hour daily 5-6pm The burgers are so good !! Always fun”

“Did the full-on omakase, and it was a treat. The limited seating brings an air of simplicity and elegance to the dinner. Each piece had its own explanation, and there was give-and-take with the chef as he prepared each course. It was fun and entertaining, and I would absolutely bring my friends/family here the next time an opportunity arises.”

“Lovely spot with attentive service. The lamb over the eggplant puree is sublime. Loved the zucchini fritters. Would have preferred if the fish was whole rather than a filet and if they were going to leave the skin on, to prepare it crispy and served skin side up so I'd doesn't sit in the sauce where it will get soggy. But everything was delicious and all the servers and bussera were great!”

“Delicious 😋 food！ Warm and kind service ! Cozy atmosphere 😊 !”

“This place has a cool, hip vibe and it’s fun to eat at the communal tables. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great variety of beer and creative craft cocktails. Food is beautifully plated and delicious - make sure to try the potatoes, baby gem salad and hanger steak.”

“Everything a matcha latte should be. Balanced in every way. Also ordered a bagel sandwich which was pretty good - as an East Coaster bagels in Chicago just don’t hit the same however it was decent. Definitely a bit pricey but overall worth it!”

“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO”

“I highly recommend this place if you love ramen as much as I do! The food quality and taste were incredible. I started with unsweetened oolong tea and takoyaki, followed by Goku Tonkotsu ramen, I chose the non-spicy option, and it was absolutely delicious. Honestly, I would give this place a Michelin star if I could! 🍜✨”

“We went last night for the first time… Great menu options, food was delicious, portions were perfect, staff was really nice. I had the Grilled Salmon, he had the Braised Pork Shoulder…definitely recommend both.”
