Best Restaurants
“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!”
“The best waiter ever. He was kind, hospitable, upbeat, professional, attentive to our table, made great conversation, timely, made great recommendations. The best I've had at an upscale restaurant in a LONG time. He was from Hudson NY”
“I just took my 12 year old nephew here as a surprise adventure. The place is amazing! It’s well laid out. There is plenty to do for every one. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond. And the prices are reasonable for both games and the bar. We will definitely be back.”

Restaurants with Delivery
“We drove from Genoa City Wisconsin because we heard how delicious everything was. We were NOT disappointed. The meat on our sandwiches, one corned beef and one pastrami, was piled high! Homemade brined pickles and bakery items exceeded our expectations. Worth the drive and we will be back.”
“Greeted with a friendly smile by the young woman behind the counter. Brought glass bottle of water and glass to the table. Food was brought out in a few minutes. Food delicious and Carmel latte was good. The sourdough bread was delicious. Asked to one if my breakfast spots in town.”
“They have, without a doubt, the most amazing chicken and waffles I’ve ever had. Not only were they delicious, but they were delivered steaming hot, which is not what I’ve had in the past at other restaurants. To yourself a favor and order this. It is beyond wonderful! And the service could not have been better and more wonderful. This place is an absolute gem.”
“I went yesterday when visiting Chicago. I had never had it before but I went by the recommendations of Skokie residents and I was very impressed. I took 6 desserts home to Kentucky and my only regret is I didn’t take more oatmeal raisin cookies. Those were absolutely phenomenal.”
“We got there early for dinner on a Friday and the food and service were EXCELLENT! I love their strawberry walnut salad. It's always fresh, crisp and delicious. They did not disappoint.”
“Absolutely amazing!!!! The very best kosher restaurant I’ve ever been to! Kosher fine dining at its finest! My husband and I agree it was the best meal we’ve ever had. He had the surprise steak which was phenomenal! I had the short ribs which were perfection! We enjoyed soups, appetizers, sushi, the works. Just when we thought we were full to the brim and could not squeeze one more but in, I couldn’t resist the dessert menu. Somehow we practically managed to lick the plate of peanut butter mousse clean! It was the most wonderful evening! The ambience is wonderful! The service is superior to any other place I’ve been to. I can’t recommend this place enough!”

“I didnt have time to eat in so I ordered to pick up. Next time I have to dine in. I ordered the Lamb chops. To my surprise they were the most favorable lamb chops I've ever had. The portion was a nice size enough to share but you might not want to share because they are so good you're going to want to keep it all for yourself. Paired with the fragrant rice, pita, and hummus, this dish was perfect 👌”
“We absolutely love Jameson’s Charr House. The food is consistently amazing, the staff is welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere is exactly what you want in a great steakhouse — cozy, classic, and inviting. Every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. We’re so glad we found this place and will continue to recommend it to anyone looking for an outstanding meal and experience.”
“A legacy location in Skokie! Traditions going back generations! If you haven’t, you must! And if you happen to be a Niles West, North, or East grad….be sure to sign the wall of fame! ❤️”

“10/10 service!
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!”
“Today's fundraiser for Special Olympics Illinois was a success, due in part of people who cared and donated. We raised over $3000!!, well over previous years donation amount. Special thank you to Dunkin at 5150 Touhy Ave. Skokie IL for their continued support on this worthy cause. Thank you for it's amazing staffs for their friendly and outstanding service. You guys are the best.”
“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.”

“Assalamualaikum everyone I must say they have best pizza in chicago. Every week I visit here with my friend and order dil khol pepperoni pizza.. The staff is very kind and friendly especially the long beard brother on front desk and the cheff. Now they know me and as a regular customer they make special one for me with extra cheese and bunch of extra pepperonis. And we eat in the parking lot while enjoying weather and fighting for that last piece.. thank you brothers for making us a best pizza and lot of memories too..”
“Everything is fresh and delicious! They really have something for everyone including vegan! It’s fast food only in the sense that it is fast. It’s very affordable too and we love their points program! Love their cheese ravioli and meatballs! I also love the Rainbow cone which is a Chicago original! It may seem like a weird combination of flavors but it works! Great customer service!”

“It’s unreal how good it is if you have the ability to wait for 5 minutes and my burger lasted for like a minute before I devoured it and it was so delicious I couldn’t even get it out of my brain and my dad proceeded to wolf down his sandwich and you should totally come here if you’re ever in Chicago”
“I took my kids for the first time and they loved everything about it! Great experience everytime. 10/10”
“We went for a Tea Tasting. Laura was our server. She was full of knowledge and educated us on new teas we never would have tried. Truly an awesome experience!”
“my family and i went there tonight as first timers. id like to say the food is absolutely delish except the soups. we had the new england clam chowder amd the seafood gumbo and they honestly tasted like can soup. the fried calamri were perfect and the raw oysters were fresh and cleaned immaculately. we would definitely go back BUT will not have matthew as our server. he was honestly terrible. unattentive to us on a very slow Wednesday night in the restaurant. if he came around 2 or 3 times during the hour and half we were there it was a lot and to drop off food. my husband asked for a refill on his drink after 15 minutes i had to get up to look for him and eventually had to bother farrah, another server working. she promptly got him a drink and checked on us several times after that. matthew nowhere to be found until it was time for the check to be paid. his service would have turned my nose at a return but farrah saves the night and the fact wed be return customers soon. also we asked for a small container of butter we recieved a bowl cool until we got the bill and they were charging $6 for a bowlof butter. would have been nice if mathew would have let us know our options before deciding it was cool to bring whatever he chose. he did remove it from the bill when i questioned it but the point is there was transparency or communication before hand. ivell farrah and the good saved the night, sorry mathew you need to work on your service if this is your choice of job”

“I love Qawah House so much. I go every Wednesday with my cousin as our little comfort hangout spot. Qawah House is laid back and cozy, which makes it even better. My go-to drink is the caramel macchiato, and my favorite dessert is Khaliat Alnahl — so yummy. It’s not just the desserts and drinks that make this place special; the staff are extremely kind, respectful, and welcoming. I always leave feeling happy and appreciated.”
“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.”
“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”
“Wish there was one in every neighborhood. Worth it to go there. Great people.”
“The staff here is amazing! They are all super friendly and attentive. I hosted a party and it turned out 10000/10!!! Our host helped with everything and made sure we had all the supplies we needed. She passed out the dippin dots and our cupcakes. She was patient with us as the birthday girls and friends were 4 and under.”

“Absolute gluttony. We got delivery from Byrd’s and were completely satisfied. The Byrd Bombs were huge and filled to the brim with crispy chicken, fries, a piece of toast, and pickles and drenched in cheesy sauce. Eating this will leave you full for days, but it’s definitely worth it if you’re feeling especially ravenous!”
“Best ice cream ever!!!! I am an ice cream snob when I’m on vacation. I have to have it every day and I walked miles to that ice cream parlor this week the owner and the boy Jake that worked there was such awesome people too. I will definitely be back. I went tonight because I’m leaving in the morning sorted caramel chunk.!!!! you will not be disappointed”
“We were so disappointed today as we've been coming here for years and the food has always been excellent. Today we ordered the Szechuan shrimp and chicken and broccoli lunches. 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.”
“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.”
“I’ve ordered take out for a while but finally dined in. I love the complimentary spicy cabbage appetizer. I recommend the dry chili chicken and the hot wok style beef.”
“Our host today was Anthony, and he went above and beyond to ensure our very large order for 14 people was perfect. He made sure everything included the proper fixings, utensils, and napkins. Despite the short prep time, the order was ready flawlessly. Thanks to this experience, my entire staff are now fans of Wingstop. Lunch went extremely well, and I would 100% recommend this location!”
“Wow! The chicken here is so delicious, juicy and the sauces are incredible! The people working there are just so kind! Thank you for serving the community quality food!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Delicious food and a vibrant atmosphere. I had the pleasure of dining recently with friends, and every dish, from the Octopus to the Sea Bass was cooked to perfection. The cocktails sent our experience over the top, long with the amazing wait service. Anytime I am back in Chicago, Bar Siena will most certainly be a mandatory stop!”

“The cutest little deli with wonderful staff. I came in starving due to being stuck on a liquid diet currently and was afraid I wouldn’t find anything I could eat for lunch. Fortunately the wonderful staff strained me a bowl of broth and it was delicious! Not to mention very kind of them. Totally saved my day, thank you Sunnydeli!”

“The appetizers were really good, but my main entry (pictured) was kind of bland. It was a really busy night so maybe that’s why? Also, the patio was kind of lack luster, felt like a quarantine tent.”
