“In a town known for great steak restaurants, EJs, is my favorite. Their steaks and seafood are outstanding, their sides and desserts wonderful, and their wine list never disappoints. Throw in a cozy atmosphere with wood paneling and the smell of the fireplace. The best part is the service. From the moment you arrive until you get back in your vehicle their service is unmatched with a staff of professionals who have been there for years. I highly recommend EJs and look forward to our next visit!”

My husband and i were craving some pink bubble gum ice cream from Baskin-Robbins. However almost none of the locations in the Chicago area seem to carry it (or even answer the phone) we had called several locations but were unsuccessful, until we called this location - one of their employees, Syed answered the phone immediately, was very professional and said they do carry it!. We drove over and our server was the same man who answered the phone. Syed immediately recognized us from the phone call as soon as we asked for the ice cream. And was very very friendly! Absolutely outstanding customer service! We will definitely be returning to this location for our pink bubble gum ice cream!”

“Okay, you HAVE to try Seattle Sutton’s meals! I’ve been getting them for almost a year, and they’re seriously the best meal delivery company. I actually talked to one of their dietitians before I signed up and they were super helpful and answered all of my questions. There are so many meals I never would’ve thought of making myself, but they’re all so good. The convenience is unreal. You just heat it up. I don't have to cook anything and I hate doing dishes, so that's a huge bonus. Plus, everything is always fresh, like I just bought it at the store. If you want easy healthy meals without worrying about fake or unhealthy ingredients this is 100% the way to go.”

Val's Bakery 4002 Main St, Skokie Bakery • $

“Sourdough Traditional Bread & Cookies Purchase I recently picked up some sourdough bread and cookies, and both were absolutely delightful. The sourdough had that perfect balance of a crisp, golden crust and a chewy, tangy interior. You could tell it was naturally leavened and fermented just right — the flavor was deep and complex without being overly sour. It’s the kind of bread that elevates even a simple sandwich or just stands on its own with a bit of butter. The cookies were equally impressive. Freshly baked, with a perfect texture — slightly crisp at the edges and soft in the middle. Whether classic chocolate chip or something more unique, they had just the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering. Clearly made with care and quality ingredients. I’ll definitely be back for more. Highly recommended if you’re after artisanal baked goods that taste homemade (in the best way possible). P.S Big shout out for the customer service and presentation 👌❤️ 💯% recommend Val s Bakery”

The chicken felt slimy and didn't taste good just like the vegetables. The shrimp lunch was not good either. Both lunches had a weird taste which we believe was due to freezing and reheating which explains why the rice wasn't really good either. The food has always been hot when we get it but today it was just warm. We are unable to finish these lunches. We're hoping that today was just a bad day.”

Pho Phu Linh 4741 Main St, Skokie Vietnamese • $

“Delicious pho, my daughter is a huge pho fan and she loved it. The gyoza and fresh tasting veggie shrimp rolls in rice paper with peanut sauce on the side were equally as good.

The Kung pao chicken was better than any I’ve had at the surrounding Chinese restaurants in the Skokie/Morton Grove/Glenview area. HUGE portions. Extremely reasonable prices. Kenny the owner is an incredibly nice and inviting person.”

The Hampton Social - Skokie 4999 Old Orchard Shopping Ctr, Skokie American • $$

“We went to Hampton Social for my sister’s bachelorette in Nashville, and it was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere is super cute and fun, with a laid-back yet vibrant vibe. The cocktails were delicious, and the staff made it extra special by bringing my sister some shots with a sparkler for her bachelorette. Since her bridal party was small and the guitar shots were too much for our group, this thoughtful gesture made the day even more memorable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great drinks and a fun atmosphere!”

It's Just Wings 5435 W Touhy Ave, Skokie Chicken Wings • $$

“The food is delicious and the prices are very fair. The only issue I have is, it's location is two miles from where I work and the food always takes between 45 minutes to an hour to get to me. Sometimes longer even if I order it before my actual lunch break.”

Portillo's Skokie 9400 Skokie Blvd, Skokie Fast Food • $

“Today was the first time I have ever Ben in a Portillo’s Restaurant, first time I have ever had an Italian beef sandwich. I have a Lotta friends in Fort Myers who go all the way to Tampa to get this sandwich and they continue to tell me how good it is. So this evening we decided to go to Portillo since I was visiting on my grandkids and my daughter and son-in-law, I really enjoyed that Italian beef sandwich. There are a lot of other good things on the menu, but that was what I was there for. Unfortunately, they do not have a Portillo’s Station FortnMyer Florida. I can only hope that one day they will build it there.”

Eating this will leave you full for days, but it’s definitely worth it if you’re feeling especially ravenous!”
