“Great Chicago deep dish pizza which I miss a lot!!”

“Pure green, is amazing I went opening day! The vibe inside is purely amazing. It’s chill and welcoming. They staff was great while ordering, helped us with recommendations, and what’s in each smoothie and why they recommend it, I got a smoothie it was called coco skinny, it was amazing!! I didn’t even get a couple sips in before my 5 year old stole it and ran off, she’s so picky that you know if she drinks it it’s fabulous! (I did get it back and we shared) but this place is just fabulous. If you’re looking for a great place you found it! I can’t wait to go back and try the açaí bowls! Those looked amazing! I saw other peoples orders! Everything on the menu looks so good! This will most definitely be my go to place while walking around shopping. You just have to check it out.”

“Ruth's Chris has been our special occasion restaurant for 30 years across the country. From Vegas, Hawaii, Minnesota, south barrington, Northbrook and Chicago we have been to them all and usually love the food and ambiance. Unfortunately my wife's meal was a true disappointment last night. They tried making her steak three times and each time came out wrong or beyond well done which is not what she ordered unfortunately. After the third attempt the manager finally offered to take it off the bill and my wife simply had appetizers and sides for dinner. Not our usual Ruth's Chris experience but certainly was memorable for the wrong reasons.”

“They did our recent gender reveal cake and knocked it out of the park! Not only did it look exactly like the design idea I shared with them, but it tasted incredible. I literally liked this cake better than my own wedding cake, haha!”

“I went to Wok n Fire for my first time tonight and got to experience it a little differently with it being the first day you are able to dine indoors since COVID. Our waitress, Stacey was absolutely amazing! She gave personal recommendations and even traded out my girlfriends wine that she didn’t like. Great food and delicious!”

“The General Manager in Hoffman Estates Panera is one of the best I have ever seen. His name is Brian. He is constantly on the go, working the register, making drinks, cleaning tables, helping people as needed. Very approachable. We frequent this store regularly. Kudos Brian!”

“Bamboo Spoon has such a great selection of things I never make it back to try them all .. They do Frozen Yogurt, many flavors with lots of stuff to put it in, they just added a premium high milkfat ice cream .. they do organic smoothies and lots of different bubble teas .. they also have the 'protien' so that one could go there with people on a couple of diets, ones that didn't care and some kids and everyone would find something they liked... And something they would like to try next time! They are happy to customize for you! Everything is clean and well managed, and everyone is pleasant. I stop there regularly .. Nice stop after dinner in the Arboretum or after a massage at Elements next door! :)”

“My brother recommended this cafe for breakfast and I finally checked it out before work last Saturday morning. The line looked long at first, but the staff handled orders pretty efficiently. I ordered a cappuccino and egg sandwich combo. The sandwich bread tasted freshly toasted and the coffee arrived at the perfect temperature. One customer accidentally received my drink by mistake, but employees noticed quickly and fixed everything without confusion. The whole place had a friendly neighborhood feeling that made the morning start off better than expected.”

“Excellent fresh made sandwiches and the chili was also very good. Very friendly and accommodating people behind the counter. Will definitely return.”

“Loved the 80 flavor option and the ice cream was delicious, but there should be a sign posted that are TWO different prices based on premium favors, etc- nothing noted, indicated on cases, mentioned by employees or posted. Buyer beware 😉”

“We came tonight for the first time for my husband’s birthday. Food was so good. Service was excellent! The cook even came out to ask us how our food was. We will be back!”

“The food was great, service was excellent! The atmosphere is happy and the Magician made it even more enjoyable. Definitely going to become regulars.”

“variety of Indian breads, loved the Onion Kulcha! incredibly delicious taste and levels of spicyness are offered with every dish! no more spice overwhelm which can ruin the subtle tastes in Indian cuisine. courteous staff, gracious and available servers. Loved Aloo & cauliflower dish My partner enjoyed robust Dal dish which had veggie tidbits to round out flavor. we loved the food here. Best Indian fare in the area!”

“I picked up food tonight and was fabulous to say the least. Also,.while I waited the staff was friendly and hospitable.”

“I invited my whole family this time. We had a blast like always! I will definitely be back. It doesn't matter how old you are. It's a guarantee you'll have a wonderful time cheering on your knight!!”

“Wonderful service and food! Eric, the manager, is excellent checking in with diners and ensuring they have everything they need.”

“I get why there are such good reviews. The food is excellent, we had the steak sandwich and the Lachon both were fantastic. The plantains are to die for. There isn't beer or alcohol. Everyone was very kind and seemed happy to be there. Also . Not photos because we were
so famished 😂”

“Delicious, fresh, healthy smoothies on a hot day were absolutely perfect. William made our daughter a minion milkshake (and secretly made it healthy without her knowing, which was perfect for our very picky eater), and our son enjoyed a taro boba tea with popping mango boba. Such a great find, and fabulous owner!”

“Amazing bowls! Fresh, delicious, and big portions!”

“First time there. It’s a 30 minute drive, but we plan to go back. Best ingredients done to perfection. We have loved Lou Malnati’s , but this is equal to if not better. Our family agreed. They drove 1 1/2 hours and said they would come back”

“Latin Mediterranean infused restaurant. Fresh ingredients. Unique recipes. Clean and spotless atmosphere. Wonderful Martinez Cup appetizers. Great Hangover soup. Incredible Lemon Chicken with delicious veggies. Yummy Baklava fresh crunchy. Would definitely make the drive out of my way to come back again.”

“I wanna give the BIGGEST 5 star review to Dom! Seriously he was the best help I could ever have, he was very kind, calm, and understanding. He showed that he truly cared about his customers. The pizza tasted super yummy and Dom recommended me a pizza that is now my favorite! I will 100% be coming back soon! He deserves a raise ASAP (please consider giving him the raise he deserves)!”

“This is a five star overall and in every category rating. After reading reviews on all sites I thought I’d give Joe’s a try. Their site indicated fresh ingredients, fresh dough, and outstanding service. It’s true! This is not a chain…as in everything tastes the same, pizza. The sauce is fresh and not overly salted or seasoned; you taste the tomatoes, the sausage, the green peppers and the onions! It was risky because I ordered this for New Year’s Eve for a group, (even tho I’d never had it) but all loved it. I had to laugh thinking about others’ reviews that note it tastes different-that’s because they haven’t had fresh ingredient pizza in so long. The owners (I assumed) were fun and kind and the cozy/small pick-up makes you feel like you are in another country-Italy. Pizza costs more these days, and they prefer cash, so be prepared for that; but it was worth it. Thank-you to Joe’s for the great New Year’s Pizza! Grateful, MAC”

“Service was terribly slow. Had to ask waiter 4 times to refill my water. While explaining the desserts he went way too fast and acted annoyed at us when we asked him to repeat it. Then he kept bugging us to pay our bill. Very poor service overall. Food was delicious but service sucked!”
