“My friends with disabilities have been going since Week 1 and the owner wouldn't put the sound on for the Bears game. We have always had the sound for the Bears game on in that room. She said that is the Packers room. There is no signage saying what room it is. It should be the Chicago sports room because there's Chicago sports stuff everywhere.“

“Once you eat here, you will not want to eat anywhere else.“

“We have always enjoyed VT but this was poorly managed. We came in on a Wednesday and ask to sit at a booth. The booth they sat us at was right next to a party they had going on. And people were standing right at the edge of the booth and was extremely loud. Why they didn't put the party separated in the empty section by the bar would be more appropriate. It seems they were over the limit on the one side. So we asked to move to a booth that was empty. They said we couldn't move to that booth as it wasn't open. Needless to say we took our business elsewhere.“

“Salsa 17 has always been one of our families favorite restaurants. They have delicious food, great service and a casual fun atmosphere. Yesterday they went above and beyond for us. We were hosting a large party at our home and reserved a food truck from another business. 5 minutes before our party started we received a call that the food truck was not able to show up. I called Salsa 17 and with no notice they were able to cater a fajita bar for 40 people in just over an hour. The manager I spoke to was accommodating and so kind. The food was outstanding and plentiful. I highly recommend Salsa 17 for both in person dining and catering!“

“I had a chance to swing in last week and it's a nice, comfortable setting. The food was excellent if you are interested in Austrian/German bites. The people working here were super nice compared to similar tyes of places in the area. They even had a 50% off beer special going on! I will be returning for sure.“

“Not only have I loved Hawthornes from when I was a kid growing up in West Chicago! It was the PERFECT place to have my wedding. Lou, Heidi and Kelly did fantastic and helped make my dream come alive! Every question I had they answered and were able to accommodate so much! Heidi was in CONSTANT communication with me and was able to give advice and help me through the whole process. Her suggestions were so helpful and she helped during the ceremony and reception. I could not have done it without them. This place treats you like family and has amazing service! When my husband and I went to pick up our things the next morning we were planning on taking 2 trips and Lou let us borrow his truck that is how amazing and friendly they are! WE LOVE YOU HAWTHORNES! Thanks for making our wedding the best day of our lives(: not to mention EVERY guest couldn’t stop talking about how fun the venue was and there was something for everyone to do, wiffleball, volleyball, giant beer pong, bags, dancing, and more! Everyone was able to have fun the whole time!“

“Z is an awesome cook & bartender!!! I highly recommend the Greek Fries & Chicken Panini. He is super nice jack of all trades. He deserves a big bonus!!!!“

“A friend whose taste I trust told me about this breakfast/lunch spot- glad he did. Tucked away in a small strip center , this is a gem I had eggs, crispy hash browns and delicious country ham. My wife had a very large gyros omelette She is a stickler for good coffee and said this place passes on her rating system Roomy booths and tables in a large room provide enough space for all Just go - you will love it“

They were so helpful, let us set up early, refrigerated a cake for us, had appetizers out super quick! There was probably about 40 of us and the bartenders/waiters were awesome… it was a huge success! Definitely think of Alley 64 for a group/party options!“

“live just down the street from Lamp Lighters, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The food is always excellent—fresh, flavorful, and consistently satisfying no matter what you order. The atmosphere feels friendly and comfortable, like a true neighborhood gem.

A special mention goes to Amber, who’s not only incredibly attentive and professional but also genuinely kind and welcoming every time I stop in. She makes the experience even better with her great energy and warm personality.

If you’re in Palatine and haven’t been to Lamp Lighters yet, you’re missing out on one of the best local places around!“

“I stopped by this place while waiting for an oil change nearby. The layout of the restaurant was really fun — you can see the ice rink right next to it, which felt straight out of a high school movie. I loved the classic American diner vibe. It wasn’t too crowded, which made it feel even more local and cozy.

There were claw machines and candy dispensers here and there, which added to the charm. The server was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered a drink, some chili, and a burger. The food wasn’t amazing, but it was decent. Overall, it’s a very chill place. I feel like it’d be a fun spot to stop by once in a while to grab a drink and hang out with a friend.“

“Great place to play pool have some cocktails and game.“

“Stopped in after a gig with my band….cool place to hang!“

“Beef with cheese best in chi“

“It was nice to see such a great handful of people that all got along! From the owner, staff, & patrons. I even got to run into one of my old Greek friends “nick” The owner is a great person who is truly blessed for having such an outstanding establishment & treating his guests like family keep up the great work primo“

“It’s a fun out going place“

“I was just there I've never seen this. what the dub on Tuesday was such fun. I really think that you'd have fun. What The Dubs??? where a part of a movie is on screen you have to pick you own style.to finish the movie scene. so much fun we all had a great time.“
