“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! She recommended the monthly special called “Moonstruck” and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The ambience, service and food is unmatched! If you are looking for a great night out I highly recommend Al’s Cafe!“

“Being a celiac person, I love that they have options for me and I feel safe ordering, knowing they take care in preparing the meal. The food is very tasty, I love that I can get cheese curds.“

“Ate there last night. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I’m pretty picky about vodka pasta and this one was the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant has such a fun modern 1920s vibe. They also have a kids menu so it’s great for date night or a family outing.“

“The ambiance, food, service and of course the wine were all divine! Love it!“

“we spent our night tonight there together just myself and my fiance. we had an absolutely wonderful experience. The owners were the most wonderful people. It was nice and quiet just him and I with a little music in the background with nice dim lighting. The food was out of this world! Very generous food portions! we will definitely be thinking about this place for a while!!! Honestly I don't think we could have had a better night! Thank you for making our night special“

“Great food! Great service! The veggie skillet was the best I've ever had. Loaded with fresh veggies and cooked perfect. The pancakes were light and fluffy. Everything had a fresh taste like I made it in my own kitchen. Five star establishment!“

“Great service and delicious food! Our server, Mark, was excellent! Drinks were perfect too. We will be coming back often for sure“

“I've ordered here since they opened, today I attempted to order and was told they couldn't remove the onions because everything was pre-made. A) they have removed them in the past B) for the prices they charge, thought everything was fresh. Simply won't go here again, I went down the street and paid the same dollar amount for skewers where they had no issue removing the onions for me“

“One of the next vegan burgers I've had. And they played black Sabbath the whole time. RIP Ozzy!“

“Service was awful! Our server, Joselyn, slammed down the glasses of water 5 minutes after we were seated, took our order and never saw her again until she slammed the bill down at our table. We saw her for a total of 3 minutes in the 45 minutes we were there. Unfortunately for Joselyn, her tip reflected her poor service. I tip 20-25% for good service, she lost out and made the restaurant less desirable to return. However, the burger was juicy and delicious, the macaroni and cheese was outstanding!“

“Great place for brunch , Bang bang combo is good , great portions too though for the vegetable very bland the rest are great . . Very friendly staff too .“

“So if I order a cocktail “neat” with rocks on the side I am sure he would charge again for the rocks. Better yet….just include the $2 rocks charge in the drink itself ….don’t put a separate $2 charge for ICE!“

“Muy sabroso lo recomiendo“

“Just stopped in for an Irish coffee. Taste tested my husband's Bloody Mary. Oh my! The mix that Emily put together this morning was amazing. The best! We usually stop in for breakfast on the weekends and always have a great meal.“

“Our wedding was on 8/18/2023 and we are still so happy from the perfect day. From the minute we started our tour at Pinstripes with Shannon Schurr, my husband and I knew Pinstripes was going to be the perfect place for our wedding reception. We toured a few other venues, but Pinstripes was perfect. Shannon was so responsive and answered all of our questions along the way. The food tasting was lovely as well and it was a great chance to try all the food and feel confident at our choices. From the tour to the tasting to the reception, everything was seamless and magical. All of our guests absolutely raved about the reception venue and all the wedding guests mentioned it was the most fun wedding reception they have ever been at. The food and drink options were fantastic! We had bowling during our cocktail hour (with socks and bowling shoes included for all guests) and bocci courts open after dinner, which was a huge hit. We reserved the all-seasons outside space, which was well worth the little additional money, and the firepits and decorations (including the flowered backdrop) were a big hit and we didn’t even need to buy any decorations because it was set up so beautifully. The service was excellent throughout the whole night and the linens turned out prettier than we could have pictured! There was also a cool stand for the cake to be displayed while we were cutting it. Many of our guests now frequent for bowling and dinner at Pinstripes and my husband and I do the same.“

“We just had our Mom's 90th surprise birthday party here. The staff was fabulous! A big thank you to Mary, Sofia and Romy in particular. They helped usher her in, they refrigerated the cake for us, they took care of everything! I highly recommend Bennigan's for a party.“

“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.“

“Best people work here Food is great Pride in ownership Known Peter for years“

“Great food, great service. Feel like I am at home in my momma's kitchen eating the best pancakes in the world.“

“I have dreamed of going for as long as I can remember. I love this time period and was so excited to go. This not only checked one bucket list item, but checked 2, as I was able to see a Friesian in real life, my favorite breed, for the first time! I was overcome to tears several times by the beauty, pageantry and joy I witnessed! Everyone should see this at least once in their lives!“

“First time at brunch. The brisket hash was very good. Nothing like corned beef hash. It was flavorful and hearty. We were warned that the French Toast was sweet. While good, it was very rich and smothered in chocolate sauce. A little less chocolate would have helped make the dish more enjoyable. Our server wasn't very attentive and didn't check on us after she dropped off the food until we were finished eating. The music was a tad distracting as it was a bit loud, and then again there weren't as many people in the restaurant to absorb the sound. One busser in particular was very detailed and neat in his cleaning of the tables. It was impressive to see the care he put into his job. Would we go back for brunch? Yes. Would we order the same things? Probably not. There are other dishes calling out to be tried.“

“I am a vegan, so the cook has no issues with non-dairy dishes“

“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.“

“I’ve eaten at Bleuroot twice when traveling through Chicago for hockey trips. Every bite has been phenomenal and there have been many “Oh you’ve got to try this” shared plates. The staff are amazing and this is a place where it’s okay to be loud and boisterous and joyful. Thanks to Maria and the crew for a great experience (and excellent customer service mailing me back a pair of prescription sunglasses I left on the table!). Looking forward to a third visit in November!“

“Nosh has very quickly become our favorite breakfast place! The food is stellar, the staff is outstanding! Whether its your first time in or your hundredth, you are treated like friends. There is a reason we eat there sometimes multiple times a week!“

“Absolutely delicious. Great staff. Great cocktails“

“Glad you’re changing to Coke products. My family of 5, prefer coke over Pepsi. Pepsi is too sweet.“

“I have ordered out here quite a few times and love the Royal wrap! Food is top notch! I just ate there for the first time today and it got even better. Tasha and the rest of the staff were the highlight today and it is my favorite breakfast place right now! Cannot wait to go there again or at least order the food! Thank you Sweet Orange 🍊 🤘🏼“

“Still the best burger around“

“shout out to Jason! made ordering easy and the food came out fast! my kids were happy to get the ice cream so quickly!“

“Celebrated my Son's Bday there for brunch and Everyone loved their food! Great Atmosphere and Staff 🥰 The new Management made awesome changes“

“Food and service was outstanding. Our waitress was friendly and explained the menu well. I have many food restrictions, mainly dairy and gluten free. she was so helpful and patient. She made sure all of my issues were addressed, by talking to the chef as well as looking up ingredients for me. I was able to eat a complete meal that was outstanding, not something that happens often.It helps that much of the food is made fresh and is homemade, using natural ingredients. If you have dietary restrictions, I am confident you can enjoy a meal here. I highly recommend Riganato Old World Grille as one of the best restaurants I've eaten at. Enjoy!“

“It was my birthday and was wonderful evening! Our server was excellent and took time for short conversations and making sure we had whatever we wanted. Loved the special attention for my birthday! Noise level was on the quieter side considering as busy as it was. Food was good as usual.“

“So amazing! Waiter, Charles was awesome and so was greeter, Elizabeth Food and drinks were amazing! Ambience also amazing! New favorite restaurant! I can’t say enough good about everything!“

“The squirrel and his wife went there for lunch. The dining room wasn't open sat in a bar area. The bar is a bar suitable for evening snacks and bar food. seating is very limited they don't take reservations The food was good, not great, but good for the price.“

“We love this place, very good food and newspaper coupons are frequent. However, I’ve loved their chicken for years but something changed about 2 years ago. I think they may have switch cooking oil or something. Chicken is now bland and a little “off”“

“fine course well maintained great food“

“Great location, employees are awesome. Food is always hot and fresh!“

“Went here with my friend this past Saturday and our waitress was Nichole and she was awesome. He got the bacon cheeseburgers n I got the cheesesteak and ordered Modelo. All good. Only complaint is, it was very warm in there like there was no AC on. Only felt the fans. Will be back again“

“Great food and the best customer service. Can’t wait to come back!“

“I am so grateful for such great service here! I have my go-to’s but I’ve gotten to try sandwiches, soup, pasta, salads, cookies, and everything has always been super tasty! Because of that, I have started getting food to-go from here whenever I can. Be it through DD or in person ordering, they get it right EVERY time which sadly can’t be said very often anymore. Everyone is super helpful and courteous too. Only great things to say all around and I hope you guys keep up the great work you’re doing! :)“
