“great ambiance, cozy place it was very hot day, so it was very hot inside since it's such a small restaurant great place for a date night, small menu but great food... will be back again soon”
“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!”
“throwing down a 5 star review for capital grille old orchard. this location has the feel and sophistication of a city steakhouse with exceptional and friendly service to match. kudos to dave and ryan at the bar, nick who is an excellent server and melody who keeps the ship running. we look forward to more meals here!”
“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 by Cuisine
“Excellent service... attentive, customer centered. Relaxed but upscale atmosphere, open kitchen allows customers to see food (shawarma, pita, etc) being prepared. Family owned, and on premises at all times. Overall it's a very nice place, authentic Middle Eastern food, kosher, friendly, you'll be happy to come back!”
“Best steak ever!!! It was an extremely tender rib eye - packed with flavor and cooked to the correct temp. Their mashed potatoes were divine and the Bordeaux was exquisite. As someone who DOESN’T keep kosher this was better than any steakhouse I’ve been to in the suburbs + city ?? Lincolnwood has THE best restaurants in the world. No one can tell me otherwise.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Wow. Get the ham and crab jian bing. It is outstanding. All the textures in one bite. Tender, crunchy, chewy, warm. Total mouthful. The veg is fresh, not droopy. It's made to order and ready fast. If you have to eat and go, they even give you a disposable glove. Fantastic.”
“Came in with a friend who had never had boba before. The owner(?) recommended her a flavor and offered to make her a different kind if she didn't like it. She had brown sugar, I had taro, and my wife had a caramel latte boba. All were delicious! We also got the mini pancake bites which were fantastic. The owner(?) was super nice and gave us free water as well. If it wasn't a 40 minute drive for us we would be here all the time!”
“A nice little fast food joint off of Dempster and Gross Point Rd. They serve up lots of good and intetesting pizza, wraps, burgers and more. All of their food is Zabiha halal certified.
Keep in mind there are no tables to eat inside, this is a takeout/carryout only place.
I recommend Chicken 65 wrap, Malai Chicken wrap, and Meat Lovers pizza.”

“Nice space. Good beer. I had a pint of Twice Lucky. Excellent, live jazz from Chris Greene and Damian Espinosa on Sunday afternoon.”
“If you're looking for a great steak dinner, LongHorn Steakhouse is the place to go!
Our group enjoyed a variety of dishes, including the Renegade Sirloin Steak, Ribeye Steak, Baby Back Ribs, and the 7 oz. LongHorn Salmon paired with 8 ct. Redrock Grilled Shrimp. We also had side orders of Shrimp & Lobster Chowder, Mixed Greens Salad, and Mashed Potatoes.
The steaks were perfectly cooked and incredibly succulent, satisfying every steak lover's craving.
The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, seasoned just right, and absolutely perfect.
The salmon and shrimp were delicious, offering a fresh and flavorful complement to the hearty dishes.
The Shrimp & Lobster Chowder was the perfect choice for a chilly Friday night, warm and full of rich seafood flavors.
LongHorn Steakhouse offers a welcoming atmosphere, fantastic food, and great service. Highly recommend for a satisfying meal with family or friends!”

“While we have dined here a number of times and were very pleased with the food and service, yesterday we were not. Three of us ordered medium rare beef dishes but were served well done dishes. My French fried shrimp was EXTRA crispy. We had to wait much longer than usual for our waiter to check back with us, hence why we did not send our dishes back. We also had to wait for our water glasses to be refilled. He never asked if we needed refills on the drinks we ordered, so we didn't. We waited longer to pay our check too.”
“We enjoyed Beyond Thai restaurant. The owner helps on the dining room. The food is prepr bcdf ared fresh. We had crispy egg rolls, tom yum soup, delicious seaweed salad with cucumbers, and salmon fillet with rice topped with a large mound of fresh Asian style vegetables. We had tasty Emerald noodle dishes and pad see eiew.”

“What a great experience! We were looking to try a new place for my birthday and came upon El Fuego... and are so happy we did! Yummy food, really attentive service (without being pushy), and a fun vibe. Felt treated like we were family or special guests. We'll be back!”
“We had family style dinner. Food was amazing!! Service was great. Everyone took such pride in their jobs.”

“I eat Subway salad twice a day and always in different Subways around the city, but this Subway makes a real proper salad and chops it. I want all Subway establishments to do this. I drove 20 miles here but it costs to come here. I want the Subway owners to see my review. Just do this in every Subway and your profit will be at least 20% more. This is a lot of money that you are losing by not paying attention to the little things. Respect to the staff ?
Guys, I came back specifically and ordered another salad to take photos and videos and post this review so that everyone could see what a real salad looks like, How it is made correctly! It is amazing. I am very happy that I found this place. Now I will come to all Subways throughout the city and everywhere I will demand that they make my salad exactly this way! I think that this is how the salad should be made in every Subway cafe! I am very grateful to the staff, they do a great job!”
“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.”
“The food was great, but it is a little pricey. The restaurant is difficult to find since its inside a building and the seating area is inviting but very small. Regardless none of that would deter me from having a nice lunch there with some delightful kosher food!”

“Great food. Friendly owner. A lot of food for the price. Did I mention the food?? Okay, so it is a break room on the 3rd floor of the office building, but so what? That makes it even better. I loved the atmosphere! Pro tip: bring your own mug if you like Strong coffee. I'm positively wired after one cup. 10/10 would recommend.”
“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 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.”
“Stopped in here with my dad while we were in Skokie and can confirm my dad was obsessed with the French fries (he ate the whole basket by himself). We split a kebab meal and the chicken was tasty. The baklava was excellent, and the whole restaurant overall was very clean. I def want to go back to try more of their food!”
“You won’t ever get a watered down drink from Take Flight!
My wife and I have had tons of mini-dates here (I suggest Village Inn Pizza next door), we’ve shown up for game nights, and on weeknights I’ve gone solo just to have a few drink and get some work done too.
Whatever the occasion, if you’re looking for quality drinks and a comfortable place to sit for a while, this is it!
Also, you should order their pretzels.”
“Wish there was one in every neighborhood. Worth it to go there. Great people.”
“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.”

“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!”
“Zad was fantastic! I went with my family who were visiting from abroad and they thought Zad was the best food they ate in the Chicago area. It was delicious, healthy, clean, and filling. Not only that but the service was unparalleled and the owner was highly generous and friendly. Can't recommend this place enough.”
“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.”
“This place is a local gem!!!! Everything I've ordered was fantastic! Love their pot stickers, crab rangoon, and their egg rolls! Kenny makes all the sauces in house!!!! The smoothies and Japanese sodas are faves with my kids. Wonderful spot and great people that work there!”
“Very friendly and inviting staff, cozy vibes, and great pizza! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.”
“The employee (Paola Tapia) greeted me and was very polite throughout the whole process. Radio with American classic was playing in the background.
The place was not busy and so my order of Texas double whopper and nuggets was ready in no time.
The whopper was one of the most carefully built I ever had! The bun was not squished, patties and all ingredients were neatly placed and evenly spaced. Only a few lettuce pieces were outside but it's totally fine. Amazing!
Also the place is very clean.”
“My family and I like to visit on the weekends it’s a safe place and a fun place for your family
Parking: Parking is not bad at all plenty of spaces available
Kid-friendliness: The entire staff and place is kid friendly the staff is very professional and nice”

“It's about sunday morning something that change my entire mood is the taste of there food, i had a byrd bomb that taste soo palatable and they are punctual at service, in addition sometime its better to suffer a little for good taste i must recommended everyone who read this review to dine in there for the real taste.”
“Tried the Original Rainbow cone twice on my trip to Chicago and I loved it! A true Chicago Original. The presentation and flavors worked perfectly together! Would love to go back and order the cake slice or maybe the Ice Cream Sandwich version of the rainbow cone again one day!”
“Update: I've been coming here for like 20 years, cant remember the last time they've raised their prices. Their full slab of Baby Back Ribs has been $25 for ages, and it's as good as it's always been, fall off the bone tender right balance of sweet and salty, a little fat and their delicious glaze.
Portions are good, food is out in like 3-8 minutes, love coming here.”
“Peri Peri is definitely one of my favorite types of cuisines and the port of peri peri is by far the best! Anytime I visit the chicken is well marinated, flavorful and tender. I would highly recommend the chicken tender rice bowl since they are well portioned. Definitely check this place out as well as their other locations!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“There food was really good and a friendly atmosphere. I don’t recommend having large groups.”
“This is by far the nicest BWW I’ve ever been too! Good was amazing. Hot and fast. Staff was great. Super nice and helpful. Very clean and well-put together. Great specials!
Parking: It’s right next to Old Orchard Mall so there’s plenty of parking and mini parking garages”

“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!”
“Very good food, you have to try.”
