“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!”
“Fancy high end dining place. Valet parking, and sumptuous decor feels like snooty men's club. It's like very corporate and ...fine. Food was rich and elegantly presented and good ...it's fine, it's not special or original and exciting in anyway.”
“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.”

“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!”

“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.”
“Kandy Krush Melt was an absolute delight! The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in — warm, friendly, and super attentive. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and felt welcome. The food? Simply amazing. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful too. You can tell they put real love into everything they do. We left full and happy. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great vibes, great people, and even better food!”
“Food and service was great! Only issue was We had outdoor seating and it was Cold the heat kept going off. Every time it would get warm the heater would turn off and it would get freezing. Once we were done eating and a table became available inside they moved us there for dessert which was very nice Otherwise, I would definitely go back again. Just make sure I have an indoor seat or that it is warm outside”

“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.”

“Jameson's Char house is a very good restaurant. Their meal choices are plenty and and their food is delicious. I ordered the broiled chopped steak and my sister ordered the salmon. I asked for gravy for my mashed potatoes and that was provided. Before our salads, we had bread and butter served to us. The waiter was responsive to our needs and checked in on us. At first, it was quiet but as time went on, it became a little noisy because more customers were coming in to eat. Our seats were good and they asked us where we would like to sit so we were very content with our seating arrangements. Overall, we had a very nice time.”
“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! ❤️”
“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!”
“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 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.”

“My experience with this restaurant was very good and wonderful. The people who work inside are clean and advise you on special things. There is also a wonderful taste in the food and it is very clean. Everything is halal here and the prices here are very good at the lowest prices. You can eat your meal for one person and you do not need to order anything else.”
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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.”
“Didn't I rate this place already? Yeah, it had a dif name ... see "ebar". Or - THAT rating/review should have been on THIS place ... This is what happens when you allow Google Maps to follow your every move and you're goofy enough to begin actually reviewing ?”
“My first time having their pizza ever! Very good. Good amount of cheese and sauce and tasty ! I’ll be back!”
“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!”

“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.”
“There are many reasons why I love Shake Shack. First when you walk in you see the menu which I like because it’s more efficient and simple which I like. And when you get your order which mine was a burger and some nuggets and fries, it’s never undercooked I have been going here for 13 years and not once did I not like my burger so that's a plus, also the nuggets tasted really good and fresh, you can tell by their amazing taste, the fires were nice and simple nothing too fancy. That was my order and the reason why I keep coming back.”
“This is the best experience I had in a long time at any of burguer king I visit on the past, it looks like it's been recently remodel and pretty clean , that cook Gaby was really good at making my burguer seems like she really knows how to cook , I give it a 5 star cause of the food and experience. Thanks so much Gaby this is going to be my number 1 burger king from now on.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“I have been to a few revolving sushi spots, this by far, tops all of them! All of the seafood was fresh and tender. Soooo delicious. I ate enough for 2, and I went alone. Easy to pop open the tops and fun to order off the menu. Loved that there was an slot to get rid of your plates so they don’t stack up. Would absolutely go again.”
“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!”
“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.”

“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.”

“The chicken is so good! There is seating, but when we were there, it was crowded and noisy with kids running around. The chairs aren't comfortable either. But the chicken! It was very flavorful and excellent. Kind of elevated fast food. We'll go back for the chicken legs and try new dishes but will probably do carry out instead of eating in.”
