I highly recommend EJs and look forward to our next visit!”

“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!”

“1. FOOD WAS FRESH
2. PLENTY OF VARIETY
3. ADVERTISING SUMMER SANDWICH DEALS
4. THE PLACE WAS VERY CLEAN AND SO WAS THE ONE WORKING BATHROOM. THE OTHER BATHROOM WAS OUT OF ORDER ON THIS MORNING. JULY 22, 2026 @ 5:45AM IN THE MORNING.
5. I ORDERED THE ROASTED CHICKEN SANDWICH WHICH IS MY FAVORITE AND WAS VERY YUMMY 😋 .
6 LOVING THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW RESTAURANTS OR FASTS FOOD JOINTS THAT IS OPENED 24/7. NO LIE ALL TRUE I CHECKED AND TESTED. IT WAS ACTUALLY OPENED AT 5:45AM ON JULY 22, 2026.
COMING FROM CHICAGO THERE ARE PLENTY OF PLACES WHICH EITHER CLOSE IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING OR STAY OPEN 24/7. COMING TO THE NORTH SUBURBS JUSTS RECENTLY THESE TYPES OF PLACES (HOURS 24/7) ARE FAR AND FEW IN BETWEEN. ON SUNDAY IT IS EVEN A LOT WORSTS WITH SOME PLACES OPENING LATER, CLOSING EARLY OR IF NOT OPENED AT ALL. SO I WAS EXCITED TO SEE ONE PLACE OPEN AND SUBWAY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. SO FOR NOW ON WHEN I NEED A QUICK MIDNIGHT (PICK ME UP) FOOD RUN. THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION WILL BE MY GO2.
On the other, the dude who was working the overnight shifts was about as excited to be there or was as exciting as Steven Seagull’s HOSTING appearance on SNL years ago. NOT GOOD HAD A LOOK ON HIS FACE THAT SAID HUH 🤔 WHAT WHO AND WHEN AND WHY???? NOT GOOD
MINUS ONE STAR NEXTS. Another thing expect to pay MONEY, Subways prices are getting totally ridiculous, just costly considering the amount of meat you are getting @ most locations.”

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 Street, 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”

Jollibee 3534 West Touhy Avenue, Skokie Chicken • $

“Its great place for chicken sandwiches and fries. I had the spicy delux chicken with Mac and Cheese and fries. The Mac and cheese was a bit cold and tasted like KFC Mac and cheese. The fries were crispy and hot, A+. The sandwich had a nice crispness to it, and had nice flavor, it's not spicy for me at all, but still could for some who can't have spicy. The sandwich wasn't soggy either, like other chicken sandwiches, where the breading feels cold or soggy. This one felt fresh and crisp. Will go back soon to try their other options like the fried chicken, and maybe even their spaghetti to try out.”

“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 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.”

Never was greeted, never a smile and never looked at me except for the gentleman who was taking care of a woman who talked and talked and talked. There were 4 staff that pretty much kept to themselves. My online order took more than 20 minutes and it was ready but the 2 women didn’t want to be at the register to find out what I wanted.
