50 Best American Restaurants near Rolling Meadows

“I visited Kong Dog Rolling Meadows today and had the best meal!! Hot Cheeto dog, Dorito dog, and potato, they were so fresh! We also tried the ramen and Tteokbokki - they were so delicious! We will be back very soon!! Staff was so sweet and food didn’t take too long to make!“

“If you are a chips and salsa fan and choose your Mexican restaurants based on that, you are going to be very disappointed. Chips were WAY to salty and the salsa was a chi-chi's/Pace clone.....very mediocre at best. Usually that is not a good sign of what is to come, but in this one case, it did not tell the whole story. The food was actually very good. I had steak enchiladas mole which was outstanding, and we also had shrimp fajitas which were also excellent. If you like mexican seafood dishes, this is definitely the place for you, and the menu has a ton of seafood options. We had a queso appetizer and it was decent.....but brought out cold. Definitely would've been better if hot. Overall it is worth giving this place a try. I would strongly suggest to the owner....less salt on the chips, and a new salsa recipe.“

“This is HANDS DOWN the most delicious, finger licking chicken I have EVER had. The white gravy for the potatoes is also succulent. Finally, the green beans (Italian style) is PHENOMENAL!!

This is the only rotisserie chicken restaurant in the area that I know of, and it literally has no competition as far as flavor AND PRICE! So reasonably priced too! Please, please please stay here forever ❤“

“Lee and Andrew at the Rolling Meadows HBH Store were excellent in rectifying a problem for My Mom. I will now take my business there all the time!!! Thank you Lee and Andrew both for your help!!!

“The restaurant is nice and big. It is clean! The waitstaff is great, friendly and efficient . The food is very very good and you know it's a great place to go when there is a wait line, sometimes out the door. You have the option to eat outside in good weather. My husband and I always try to get the cozy two seater table in the little nook by the window. The food is very tasty and plenty of flowing coffee. Due to illness we are not able to come out much, but I sure miss this place. Lots of wonderful Saturday morning breakfast memories. Wishing you great continued success.“

“I haven't been here in years and it was as entertaining as I remembered! Our group had a couple of newbies and they loved it as well! The baby dragon (half of a rotisserie chicken), dragon's egg (half of a baked potato), dragon's tail ( half an ear of corn) were all delicious and cooked to perfection. Adult beverages are pricey but they come in a cup that you keep and you'll get a discount on refills. Great horsemanship and falconer skills rounded out dinner and a show! Guaranteed for all ages to be a great time had by all!“

Lake perch fish fry was fantastic as were the grilled shrimp and curly fries. Can’t wait to go back on a nice day and sit outdoors with a beautiful lake view!“

“I hadn’t been here in a while but after our most recent experience I’ll be going more often. Went for our anniversary dinner. Booked reservations thru Open Table, arrived early and got seated right away in a cozy booth in the bar. There was a card and Anniversary placard waiting for us on the table. We were offered complimentary champagne to toast right away which was delicious. Our server Susan was outstanding and all the food was exceptional. We split a wine flight - loved them all! The pacing was terrific we didn’t have to wait long for anything but we never felt rushed. We went all out for the special occasion with soup, a starter, entrees, sides and desserts but would choose more affordable happy hour options to go more frequently. The menu changes four times a year (with the seasons) and all the calorie counts are kept low for the entrees which I love.“
