50 Best Vegan Restaurants near South Barrington

“We had a wonderful experience at Ruth's Chris Steak House. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely outstanding — perfectly cooked steaks, delicious sides, and beautifully presented dishes that made the evening feel special. A huge part of what made our visit memorable was our server, Madelyn. She was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the meal. It's rare to encounter service that feels both professional and personal, and Madelyn delivered exactly that. We left feeling truly delighted and will absolutely return. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

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

“What an amazing place and experience. The knights were very interactive with the audience. They performed well. You can tell that the knights care for the horses. Parking was really easy. Leaving was just a easy. The food was really good! Though it would have been great if the potatoes were cooked a bit longer. But everything else was fantastic! My husband took me here as a surprise 6 year anniversary dinner. And I cannot wait to go back with our kids next time.“

“We have been coming to Seasons 52 for our anniversary for the last 4 years. They always make it a special night. we were greeted with anniversary hospitality by not only the hostess, but our server, 2 other servers and the chef! This truly made our night! Our server Dani was wonderful! What a lovely personality! I would ask for her again as a server in the future. All these wonderful employees at Seasons 52 make it what it is. Not only a place for wonderful food, but a place to meet wonderful people and seeing truly happy smiling individuals. Thank you Seasons 52! See you again soon and not just for our anniversary! ;-)“

“DELICIOUS! We were staying at the Renaissance hotel for the Pinball Expo. We came for breakfast and lunch. Everything was very delicious and portions were good for the price. If I lived in Schaumburg, I would be eating there every week. Wait staff was attentive always checking in on us.“

“The restaurant was not crowded, but it seemed like it took a long time for our drinks to be made. There was a 10% coupon that we really had to argue for the manager to honor the 6 of us with 4 separate checks to use. Our waitress did her best to work it out.“

“the best. tacos are phenomenal“

“Great place for breakfast“

“Got a deep dish with their signature butter crust. Delectable. Space was welcoming and full of large groups of people having a nice time. I wish I could have gotten some strawberry Italian ice to take with me, but it would've melted on the long drive home. I will definitely return to this restaurant when I visit Schaumberg in the future.“

“Delicious ice cream and the kids cone is the perfect size for my 3 year old!“

“We had such an amazing experience with Lindsey!!! She was so sweet & kind ❤️ went above & beyond to squeeze me in for my little gender reveal I was doing with my husband! The cake was by far the most delicious cake we’ve had! The texture, how moist it was, the frosting & piping work was perfect!! We can’t recommend her enough 🤗 thank you again Lindsey for helping be a part of our special day!!!“

I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great coffee experience—I’ll definitely be back! 🌹🌹“

“I am a simple man. I usually get 2 eggs and some kind of meat. This place does a fine job and the other items I have tried off the menu are good as well. Usually not a long wait and has plenty of space even on Sunday. Staff is always friendly. Only complaint is that it can be on the pricier side but that's just the price of doing business nowadays. You could definitely do worse for breakfast.“

“So many styles to choose from. Always hot and tasty! Highly recommend!“

“I rarely eat out these days because it’s hard to find places that truly care about using quality ingredients, but this place blew me away! 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!“

“Tonight I decided to venture out and try this restaurant my family has been RAVING about called Al’s Cafe in Downtown Elgin! I sat upstairs and had this lovely server named Marcie!

If you are looking for a great night out I highly recommend Al’s Cafe!“

“(2025) Brunch Cafe - Addison, IL I recently had the pleasure of dining at Brunch Cafe in Addison, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! Our waitress, Febe, provided EXCELLENT service—she was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing, coming out hot and fresh, just as we hoped. From the fluffy pancakes to the savory breakfast burrito, every dish was delicious and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. In my opinion, this restaurant should be rated #1 in Addison, IL for breakfast. No other place comes close to the quality and service we experienced here. Highly recommend! (2024) How ever long is your wait is please wait. It’s definitely worth the wait. Their food is absolutely delicious and our waitress was professional + friendly. Carrot cake pancakes are my new favorite.“

“Delicious champurrado !!! love it !! Very nice staff!“

“We went to Woodfire for my birthday. The food and service is excellent. Vicki was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. The food is so fresh and homemade. The pizza crust is crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. There is an assortment of types of pizza, but the cheese pizza is the best I’ve ever had. The pasta is rich and delicious. It’s cooked perfectly and the vodka sauce is amazing. The appetizers, home brewed beer, and desserts are phenomenal too. Step aside Coopers Hawk, I have a new favorite restaurant!“

“It taste the best 🍱🍚🦐😋 recommended even if I have to drive 25 minutes 😁“

“What a pleasant change from all the chain restaurants. The owner is someone who loves what he does, takes time to visit your table, and serves recipes handed down from his grandmother and mother. The food is prepared using the freshest of ingredients. The noise level enabled us to easily carry on a conversation. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.“

“The birria and chicken tinga are incredible!“
