“Have not been to Medieval Times in a few years and it was a great time, did not disappoint. The show has changed since last time I saw it, it was more action packed. My 5 year old nephew thoroughly enjoyed it. Great Memories! The chicken was juicy. Drinks were good. They have these new slushies that I really liked. All in all, this is a great deal for food + a show.
The only negative is the smell when walking in. Not sure if the garbage had not been cleaned out or what the case was but the smell was not good walking in. Besides that, the place was kept very clean so just not sure what was up with the garbage smell this past weekend.“

“We enjoyed another great evening at Coopers Hawk Kildeer. We choose Coopers Hawk not only for their great drinks, food preparation and portions, but also because they have substantial Gluten-Free options and dedicated fryers so everyone can enjoy. They take allergy consciousness seriously. While Kyle our server was prompt, courteous, and engaging I have to say the entire staff gave us a feeling they truly appreciated our choice dining with them. Everyone we spoke with or even passed in the hallway smiled and made eye contact. The Pretzel bread (including Gluten-Free bread) along with appetizers (Calamari & Brussel Sprouts) were the perfect size for our party of five(5) to share. We enjoyed a variety of dishes (Chicken, Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops, Spaghetti w/Meatballs, Gnocchi Alla Vodka, and Salad w/Chicken & Avocado), all delicious. Flourless cake and two other desserts were shared and delicious. Overall highly recommended as we have had consistent high quality food and service at this location.“

You could tell everything was fresh and of high quality. Also, both the drive through window girl and the gentleman that walked out my order to me were nice. Good job Culver's!“

“Most days of the week there's something going on at Madcats. My wife and I live in the neighborhood. When the weather is good we walk over.

The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The Million Dollar Bacon is incredible—perfectly cooked and so flavorful. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

“Fantastic breakfast at Benedict’s Eggs and More! I had the biscuits and gravy and pot roast skillet - and both were to die for! Biscuits seem to be homemade along with the gravy and it was so tasty. Loved the pot roast as well on the skillet. It was tender! Service was incredible from beginning to end - always felt like I had enough coffee and made sure the experience was excellent from beginning to end. Definitely coming back here soon to try more!“

“Within the Holiday Inn, the Outlook Bar & Grill is a real surprise! The breakfast is a standard fare but good, fast, and the hospitality is very pleasant. Dinner time it really shines; Heidi the cook does a fantastic BBQ Bacon & Cheddar burger that tastes as good as it sounds. I don't drink, but it is a Bar & Grill with beer on tap and in the bottle. It is a reflection of the rest of the Holiday Inn in Schaumburg, IL, which has been a fantastic experience.

The menu is a bit limited, however as good as it is it isn't worth ordering take out or going out to eat. Good food, fair price!“
