“After today's experience at Baldarotta's Porketta & Sicilian Sausage we will never be going back. The level of unprofessionalism and discrimination exhibited by one of their owners was astonishing. To give a brief synopsis we were excited to try out their new location for lunch. We were immediately met with rudeness for no apparent reason by the woman at the counter, I later learned she was actually one of the owners. I honestly just brushed it off and didn't think too much into it at first. But that changed the moment we said we would be eating there and get time changed even more as she stepped out from the counter and said "I'm going to stick you guys in here." as she turned on the light to the extra dining room. For context there's maybe 15 tables in their main dining room and two or three of them had customers. Additionally, this was around 11:30 am and there were no customers behind us in line. The extra dining room was dirty and had food on the floor and the tables needed cleaned. The couple that had been in front of us got great customer service and the woman was very pleasant with them. It became very apparent that we were being treated differently due to the dog, who is a trained service dog being with us. We decided to ask for our money back and leave even though we love their food and have been looking forward to it. When we walked back into the main room and poorly asked if we could cancel our order and be refunded the response we received was absolutely in a harsh tone. She gave me my cash back and I said thank you. She responded by ignoring me and agreeing as if I was invisible. We walked around the building to the parking lot and I told Matt that I couldn't leave without having a conversation with her because the entire interaction just did not sit well with me. I walked back in and patiently waited for a couple at the counter to finish ordering. It should be noted the light to the other dining area we were told to go sit in was off again. Again when I approached I received a cold response after witnessing her being very pleasant with the couple in front of me. I asked if I could speak with a manager or someone in charge. That is when she informed me that it was her and she was a part owner. I asked her why she has been so rude towards us and that we felt discriminated against because of our service dog. She told me she didn't see anything stating he was a service dog. I explained ADA law does not require a service animal to be vested and that she never asked if he was or even mentioned dogs were not allowed, had she asked or said something we would have informed her he was. I would also like to note that the majority of our interaction with her Lambeau was sitting or in a down stay not causing any issues. She admitted that she did treat us differently because of the dog and said she could have handled the situation better but never actually took accountability or apologized for the entire situation. I'm sorry for the long read but I truly couldn't stay quiet about this. I hope she learned something from this interaction today and as much as I'm saddened and disappointed in the entire situation I'm honestly glad it happened to us and not someone who is not able to speak up for themselves. I truly hope they decide to do some self reflecting and learn how to be more accommodating for individuals with disabilities in the future.“

“Bunny’s Tavern never disappoints. We often visit before seeing shows at the Station Theatre, and get drinks after. The food and drinks were great as always, and the atmosphere makes it easy to settle in and stay longer than you planned…which we definitely did tonight, hanging out and playing the slots right up until close. What really stood out, though, was a moment of genuine kindness from the staff. Just before closing, a very elderly gentleman came in wearing his Illini gear, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, clearly thinking it was morning or game time, even though the game had long since ended. He sat down and asked for a cup of coffee, and the bartenders greeted him by name. When they gently told him it was nearly midnight and they didn’t have any coffee brewed. He was completely surprised. “You gotta be kidding me!!” One of the bartenders sat with him, spoke kindly and calmly, and then said she’d walk him home and help reset the clock in his apartment again. After what was clearly a long shift, seeing that level of patience and compassion was honestly beautiful. Great food, great drinks, and truly good people behind the bar. That kind of grace says everything about a place. I’ll be back, and I’ll be recommending it.“

“Tiana is literally the best! You’ll never get better service anywhere else. The food was fantastic and so was the service. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better dinning experience in my life. The Lava Trio and Grilled Salmon Ginger were phenomenal. I can’t say enough when it comes to the customer service. I’m a huge foody and dont mind spending money for good food and service. I’ve traveled all over the world and this was one of the best experiences ive ever had. Tiana was the best server I’ve ever had while dinning out and I’ve been all over the world. Truly fantastic. This place would not be the same without Tiana. She honestly puts the cherry on top.“

“The name of the restaurant is just right. I tried thier beef fried rice on a quest to find my favorite Chinese restaurant and now I crave thier food (something about the taste is unique and I can seem to place my finger on it or find that anywhere else) every once in a while. I drive an hour from my house just to get it when that craving hits. The customer service is also top notch, really nice and friendly people. 10/10 would recommend“

“Went here tonight for a nice date and was thoroughly impressed! The food is delicious and the sauces are so well crafted! The atmosphere is clean and really has a cool industrial old train station vibe. Now, the even better part - the service is lightening quick and our waiter Nathanael was probably the best server I have ever had in any establishment I’ve visited. Will be sure to make this a regular visit when we are in Champaign.“

“You might have to wait a tiny bit since there's only one guy running the whole restaurant - but the quality and quantity of food is amazing. I don't think there is any other restaurant on campus that gives such healthy, filling food for this price. I ordered the vegetarian lunch platter and was very satisfied. The falafel especially was very good. Overall, the meal felt homemade which is what stood out to me.“

“🌟 Mama’s Kitchen – A Hidden Gem for Gujarati Cuisine in Urbana-Champaign! 🌟
I had an absolutely amazing experience at Mama’s Kitchen!🫶🫶🫶
From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and homely. The food was beyond delicious 😋😋😋😋😋😋— especially the Gujarati dishes and snacks, which were unlike anything I’ve ever had before. Every bite was packed with authentic flavors and reminded me of traditional home-cooked meals.😍😍
The variety of snacks was impressive, and each one had its own unique taste and texture. It’s rare to find such genuine Gujarati food outside of Gujarat, and Mama’s Kitchen truly delivers an unforgettable culinary experience.
If you're in Urbana-Champaign and craving something flavorful, comforting, and unique — Mama’s Kitchen is a must-visit! I’ll definitely be coming back.👍👏“

“Normally, the food is great and shopping is fun. But 3 days ago, I ordered the homestyle chicken salad and the salad was mostly yellow lettuce - the chef had cut the heart of the head into the salad. It was so bitter that I could not eat it. I mentioned it to the server, who should have noticed, but didn’t. Why did the chef serve this? Still, I would recommend because the food is usually good.“

“Had early dinner at the Big Grove and was completely blown away. Food was excellent with a variety of menu items that had me wishing my stomach was a bit bigger. I sat at the bar as I was dining alone and the bartender did a great job of explaining the various items I inquired about as well as suggesting a perfect craft beer pairing. I only get to Champaign a couple of times a year, but this will be my go-to anytime in the area.“

“Order from Door Dash, food was still nice and warm even on a -3 degree day! Mac N Cheese was super tasty. Chicken fingers a bit spicey for my taste but good. Chicken Gravy had LOTS of Black Pepper (too much for my liking). Sould tame it down on the Black Pepper on the Chicken and Gravy as those condiments can be added for each persons taste.“

“Shout out to the Intermezzo Cafe staff at Krannert Center on campus today. Wonderful customer service and delicious food. Today's lunch special was a BLT and side of your choice. After a brief hesitation (I love BLTs!), I opted to order the chicken salad wrap and fruit cup. Delicious! They offer a decent variety of breakfast and lunch options with quick and friendly service. Highly recommend if you have not tried them.“

Had the scallops, fish egg, spicy tuna with yellow pickles seaweed seasoning, and teriyaki and spicy mayo sauce. Fantastic food and big portion sizes!“

“Very good flavor and a lot of variety in the choices. There is a fairly decent selection of vegetarian dishes available and that makes the experience much better for me. The teas are hot and strong, water or fountain drinks are an option. Most patrons are greeted at the door and shown a menu. There are a nice selection of table sizes for various groups that can be chosen by people in less busier times to find their own table. Wait times are short and portions are quite good. The overall appearance is clean and neat and generally pleasant.“

“We've been going here for several months now and have never been disappointed ? the food is always good and fresh, especially the Jasmine rice is so good ? we were originally introduced to Super Wok by my partner's work because they'd bought from here for the employees several times, so I can attest to their catering as well and everyone there really loves the food as well!
Recommend the Orange Chicken, and the Mongolian Beef. The fortune cookies are so good too ?“

“I’m very pleased and impressed with China King! From the service, to the food, and everything else. The lady who ran the front end is very sweet and friendly. I felt comfortable when I walked in, and she also helped me navigate the menu. Food came out in just over 5min. I got the chicken and broccoli lunch special with white rice and a crab rangoon. This was just over $10, which is a nice deal. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted excellent. The flavors were plentiful, and the portion was more than fair. I ended up taking some home. I highly recommend, and, I’ve said this about other Chinese restaurants in the area, but I truly think that this is one of, if not the best Chinese cuisine in the C-U area. Definitely will be back.“

“Their beer is fantastic! They have a fairly spacious taproom and a beer garden too. Unfortunately I didn't have time to stay and enjoy their beers in tap. It's a very short distance from the Illini football and basketball stadiums. I highly recommend making a stop there if you are in town for a game!“
