Restaurants in St. Charles

“Chef Abdul's is absolutely fabulous! The food was fresh, delicious and with generous servings. The baklava is to die for. The staff is friendly, attentive and a pleasure to be around. Consider this our new fave!”

“Went to Balmoral restaurant for my birthday dinner last night. My husband and I enjoyed our 5 course meal. We started with mushrooms in a garlic sauce that was served with a crusted bread. The sauce was so tasty. We had mixed greens salads. Pea and Ham soup. The soup was very flavorful. My husband had a beautiful cut porkchop with chosen sides of roasted potatoes and glazed carrots. I chose a chicken dish and once again the sauce was incredible. The meat literally melted when you cut it, it was very tender. My chosen sides were glazed sweet potatoes and cauliflower in a cheese sauce. We were stuffed but ordered dessert just because. We chose a chocolate and shortbread dessert. We ate every crumb. Our server was attentive and informative about all the food. The menu is extensive. We highly recommend. We'll be back to try more items from menu and try their afternoon tea.”

“Great experience, from the service to the amazing food. Owned and operated by great people. Chris and Megan are great supporters of the St. Charles community and have an amazing establishment to enjoy fine dining to its fullest!”

“What an outstanding Restaurant! I had my daughter's bridal shower at Mio Modo and Michael, the Manager, took care of every detail that I was looking for. The food was excellent, from the appetizer-Calamari to the main meal-Pollo al Limone and Vodka Pasta, to the dessert Tiramisu!! So delicious!! The staff was very attentive and professional. We will definitely be visiting Mio Modo again. Thank you for a delightful experience!”

“Really great food and they are very fast! Sat with a group of 8 and we were able to quickly enjoy our meal within 30 minutes. We had a time schedule, and it ended up working Perfectly.”

“Delicious food, so much flavor! Their food is heart-warming and soul-satisfying. We've got a new Thai favorite! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Natalie (waitress) rocked. Very good at her job. She is definitely an asset to Duke's. Great job Natalie.”

“Fish and chip was the best I have ever eaten the size of the order was perfect got full and can’t for get the shake mango was great have to come again in St Charles ill on north ave thanks for a good lunch”

“Ive been to 2 other Chicago Ramen spots and this had the best service and atmosphere by far.

I tried the king of sea tsukemen. As its own thing it was just ok, not bad, not amazing.

I was really hoping for a fishy pork tsukemen (tonkatsu gyokai?) and what I got wasn't that. I wouldn't order it again and its unfortunate that this location doesn't do their normal menu because I would be back at this convenient location so often for their normal tsukemen. (Or gyokai, but I can dream)

Hopefully they'll move this menu to one of their northern locations where there are more nearby options!”

“Another great meal at moto imōto. I stopped in to have a drink before dinner with friends and Kaylee was our delightful bartender. She was knowledgeable and very attentive. She’s very friendly and a great fit for the restaurant. When I was seated for dinner Tyler was my server. Excellent service and very knowledgeable of the menu. Kudos to the kitchen staff - my appetizer and meal were not only brought to my table immediately, but tasted wonderful. It was a busy Mother’s Day dinner service, but everything seemed to run very smoothly. As I watched the rest of the staff, everyone seemed friendly and attentive to the diners. Moto imōto is one of my favorite restaurants in town and I will continue to come back again and again.”

“First and foremost, the customer service from employees and especially Christian was superb! Your homemade sauces are the best I have had in a long time and everyone needs to know about this place! I went there today just to get some ranch dressing because it is on point and what ranch at it's best tastes like. Clean establishment, comfortable, simple and amazing food with kind and compassionate employees. Props to you all and I hope everyone in St.Charles trys your restaurant. This should not be left a secret... GO THERE AND TRY IT YOURSELF! THEY GOT IT GOING ON! Thank you and GOD BLESS”

“The best we have ever had! Friendly staff and excellent service. They prepare the food very quickly, so the wait time is minimal. This is the perfect place to try ramen — highly recommended!”

“Their food is absolutely the BEST out there. Friendly staff and delicious food ❤️….. Thank you for being so consistent too”

“I’ve been coming here off and on for the past 20 years. The past five years, they have done an amazing job improving the quality of their product. My 10-year-old daughter also likes going and picking out all the specialty donuts here. Whenever you buy a dozen donuts, they always throw in a few extras. Been extremely happy with them.”

“We love CH have eaten there so many times. We always order the Prime Rib sandwiches. This is the first time 7/23/25 the Prime Rib meat was tough? Please tell us you will start using the original Prime Rib meat in the future? Thanks you Mr. And Mrs. L from South Elgin IL PS Our Server Kari she was outstanding.”

“McNallys recently hosted my intimate wedding and reception. Tom was super helpful and generous with his time helping us create the vision for our wedding. The space was beautiful and the food amazing. I highly recommend coming here for dinner but also larger gathering as well. He truly made us feel like family.”

“Last minute on a Friday night, my family and I were trying to figure out where to go for dinner. My husband and I are both fans of altar brewing so we decided to go to the Saint Charles location. The two girls working the hostess desk were super friendly and really outgoing. Especially to my nine-year-old son who was intrigued by the candy Corn jar! We were seated right away, and our waitress, Selena, greeted us. Right away, I could tell that she was a great server. She offered her opinions when asked and helped us decide what we wanted to try. She didn't rush us and was super helpful throughout our dinner. Based on our experience last night, we will definitely return to that location!”

“One of our favorite spots to dine. Always amazing and delicious.”

“Sarah and Claudia were so wonderful to work with. From the beginning Sarah was so sweet, helpful and accommodating. We just had our wedding on Saturday and it was a great experience all the way through!”

“Hard to go wrong at Olive Garden - I love their salad and breadsticks. Everyone loved their meal - I had a special steak tips and shrimp spicy dish - yes it was spicy but when I got home and later finished my leftovers cold it wasn’t as spicy. And mints after you pay.”

“Pho 95 offers an amazing dining experience with delicious pho and refreshing drinks. The flavors are authentic and full of quality, bringing the true taste of Vietnam to the U.S. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy real Vietnamese cuisine!”

“Everything on the menu is awesome! we always get the pizza and wings as an appetizer. make sure you go to the upstairs bar and ask for Kaitlyn she's the best!”

“Nice, quiet evening at a classy place with great food and ambiance. Service was great as always, and this place is as good on a quiet weeknight as it is on a hopping weekend. Definitely recommended!”

“I am visiting the St Charles area from Texas and was craving pho and literally stopped in because it was the closest to me, but it is worth a visit for yall! Not only was the staff so friendly and nice, they let me place my to go order and I was in and out in less than 10 min! I’m literally eating my pho right now and it’s AMAZING!!! I’m glad I also ordered extra noodles and broth cause I know imma want more tomorrow! I’m 100000% coming back when I’m in town next in spring and I’ve already recommended it to the family I have here!”

“Stopped here in a hurry and looking for a quick bite. So so glad I did! The K-dogs were AMAZING and the strawberry cream donut was out of this world. The staff was kind and helpful and the establishment was very clean. I highly recommend this place and will be back!!”

“This is my favorite place in all of St. Charles. I come here pretty frequently since I’ve started working nearby.

Not once have I been disappointed with the food or service. You can tell it’s a small family owned joint and it always feels like home when I walk in.

If you’re in the area, you should DEFINITELY make it a priority to stop here.”

“Delicious donuts, and cupcakes”

“This is my first time in Illinois, and this is one of the best places I've ever tried. I would surely come back on our next vacation. ❤️”

Be the hero your tastebuds know you to be and go get these pies asap”

“First time eating here this morning! Everything was great! Staff were attentive and friendly, large portions! Food arrived quickly as well. We will be back!”

“Great smoothies, great selection. Great for a sweet tooth or a healthier choice. Got food here for the first time, and the Buffalo chicken wrap is great! Its grilled, not fried, so my entire meal was pretty healthy. It's a smaller portion for American portions, but it's fairly priced and delish!!! Highly recommend!!! Oh! They have a special right now $2.99 smoothies with any non breakfast food purchase from 3-9pm, so my sandwich and smothie cost me what a meal at mcdonalds would have been. Mid shifters, run dont walk here for your late lunches!!”

“Came here for the first time with a friend visiting from out of town. Had the all you can eat option and the food we had tasted good + fresh. Christy greeted us and ensured we had a great experience.”

“I had the mushroom, Swiss Cheese, single butterburger, and onion rings and didn't need to any condiments. It was delicious!!!”

“Might be the best omelette I’ve ever had…. I’m full right now and it kinda hurts. Lotta food (Ozempic girlies watch out) and you gotta eat it all. Perfectly seasoned red skins and the cinnamon butter on the pancakes…. Dude. I’m not high but I wish I was for this. Order the Alexander omelette you won’t regret it.”

“Wings here are excellent and reasonably priced. Service is fast and attentive and everyone is very friendly. Even other customers make it you feel welcomed. Music isn't too loud like other places where you can't even hear yourself think. A great spot to visit.”

“This place, the staff, owner Steve, patrons, bands & live music, bar, selections & vibe have been aces over the years. So stoked they are back up & grooving!

“The owners are lovely humans, and they make authentic and delicious dishes. There is outdoor and indoor seating. You will need to order before you sit down, and they bring it to you. Pick up after yourself, please! I noticed a bathroom indoor, but I am unsure if there is a changing table, or if it easily accessible for wheelchairs.
The space is decorated with just the right amount of charm and you can truly tell the people working really enjoy what they do. Five stars!!! Highly recommend”

“Listen, it's still a far cry from DP's original vision of Chicago street food. While I'd like to complement them on menu expansion and "franchise expansion" they are trying to rush a simple formula tried and true. It seems now more than ever, that they are more concerned with trinket expansion than food improvement. Service is still slow, which I could accept, if the food was still on point. Crisp fries are now soggy, orders are repeadly not right, and overall experience is missing the mark. I have hope, and still recommend Portillos to OUT visitors. That said, they can do better.”

“Formerly known as pub, 222, Whiskey Bend has quickly become one of the hotspots of Saint Charles! Great food, great atmosphere, live music, and so much more. Definitely check it out!”

“I AM SO SORRY!!!
I left it up to my idiot brother to order 2 cheese burgers as part of our meal. I go through the drive through and I drive halfway home to realize we’re missing the cheeseburgers. Of course, as anyone would, I go back through the drive through and ask about the cheeseburgers. TURNS OUT, not only did he order one, but THE ONE CHEESEBURGER fell on the floor of my car. I AM SO SORRY!! That is completely my mistake. It was never my intention to scam you guys! Thank you for being so polite!! :(”

“Their food is absolutely the BEST out there. Friendly staff and delicious food ❤️….. Thank you for being so consistent too”

“Fabulous spot and food was amazing! Need one in Cleveland, OH! Was in area for business and didn’t disappoint.”
