“Such a fantastic place for lunch and dinner! I've been here a few times and every time has been both delicious and fun. Malik (? hopefully spelled correctly) is an excellent, attentive server, and such a delight”

“Hands down one of the best breakfast spots I've been to in while. I first visited their Naperville location in 2021 and fell in love with the potatoes and pancakes. There can be a wait but I suggest making reservations or going before 11am. Even if you wait, its totally worth it.”

“This has been one of our favorite restaurants for many years. The new space is gorgeous. The food and service continues to be outstanding. We have hosted a number of private events and Danny and his team are always accommodating, flexible and ensure an amazing meal. The wine club is fun too!”

“Loved everything about this location! I received a warm welcome from the host stand, but what really stood out to me was the extraordinary service from Samone. She provided suggestions for my beverage, appetizer, entree, & dessert. I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 course meal thanks to Samone pointing me in the right direction. She’s truly a professional. Will be back to sit in her section!”

“Always great entertainment and food!!!”

“CM Chicken in Vernon Hills is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere and music set the perfect vibe, and the lovely gentleman who always serves me makes every visit feel welcoming and personal. I recently discovered this location and I’m already in love—this is my second visit just this week.

You must try the honey garlic chicken (it’s incredible), unless something else on their impressive 10-sauce menu catches your eye—honestly, you can’t go wrong. Everything I’ve had has been fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.

I truly hope to enjoy this spot for a very long time. Do yourself a favor and stop by to support this fantastic Korean restaurant. Highly recommended!”

“I was the lucky one to win a red envelope from BBQ Productions & Station 51 Truck Co Bar & Grill. Jeff was amazing & extremely helpful! I freakin love my Louisana Founder Series Smoker! Thank you!!!!!”

“The food and drinks are fantastic! I ordered the smoked salmon and cheese crepe as well as a mint kiwi mimosa which was delicious! Highly recommend anyone stop here!”

“Van’s is my new sushi spot for ordering! Can’t wait to actually step inside one day lol but their shrimp tempura is by far my most favorite item!!!!! Everything is delicious.”

“Delicious Mexican food and creative cuisine.”

“First time at Kuma's Sushi Bowl yesterday...1) Wife went there for lunch. 2) I stole some of the wife's bowl. 3) We both went back to grab two bowls for dinner, partly to pay her back for her lunch. And, I'd like to add that it's not very close from us. Great, fresh and delicious sushi bowls. Worth upsetting your significant other for!”

“It’s tasty, but sometimes the chicken has a smell. On weekends it’s usually good, so I order then. But when I order on Wednesdays or Thursdays, the chicken often smells. That’s why these days I only get it on weekends. During the week, if I want chicken, Popeyes is better.”

“Our pizza arrived quickly and cooked perfectly. We love Maciano’s! They used the best ingredients-quality cheese, great crust and the Italian sausage is wonderful!!”

“Food was amazing!! Loved having South Indian food that tasted authentic and not Americanized. Cant wait to come back to Chicago just to eat here.”

“The atmosphere was so fun. Filled with retro items and K Pop music videos & shows. Food was really good and fresh. Service was a tad slow. Ordered drinks and waited awhile until we got them”

“So bummed, we were coming here a couple of times a month. Since the remodel and menu revamp, their delicious Blackened Steak Wrap is no longer available.👎”

“Great food and atmosphere. The chicken is always crispy and tastes delicious even after 20+ min, but the corn dogs are the best part. Esp sweet potato with plant based sausage 😋 all the employees are friendly too. Seeing them puts a smile on my face. Highly recommend at least once!”

“My wife and I celebrated our anniversary breakfast at Gardenberry Cafe, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how clean, friendly, and welcoming the atmosphere was. The outdoor seating was a real highlight—it felt so good to enjoy a quiet meal outside together. Now the food… wow. I ordered the fajita skillet and French toast—both were incredible. My wife had the deluxe Philly cheesesteak with fries and tortilla soup. That soup was out of this world, and everything on her plate was just as impressive. The service was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. Honestly, the only "negative" is that Gardenberry is 35 minutes from our house. If it were closer, we'd be regulars. But even with the drive, we’ll absolutely be back soon. Great place, great people, great food. Highly recommend!”

“It’s a great place to bring your family”

“OMG, you have to try the Biscoff Drink!
11/10, S-Tier level of Flavors. Perfect amount of sweetness that's not overbearing and goes down so smoothly. Also very Friendly staff.”

“Yummy froyo with yummy toppings 😘”

“Absolutely amazing experience at Qdoba! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made, but what really stood out was the staff. Ryan, the GM, runs a great store and was incredibly welcoming and professional. The associates—Jenny, Joe, and Alex—were all friendly, helpful, and worked together seamlessly to make sure everything was just right. You can really tell they care about customer service. This team made my visit exceptional, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!”

“1st time visiting this establishment. Very friendly and nostalgic atmosphere. Had their 1/3 burger and onion rings. It was fantastic!! Best burger I've had in a long time. Actually meaty and fresh not one of those frozen smash burgers. Can't wait for my next visit. Hope to try something new, if I can convince myself to skip the burgers. And did I mention very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!”

“Had a fantastic night at a painting event they had. The staff was super friendly and very attentive. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. It's a very fun and welcoming environment.”

“Delicious sandwiches - I wish they open more locations near me”

“Stopped by on Wednesday 02/06! And was greeted and attended by Mercedes. She was SUPER kind and attentive with my order! Very grateful she took my needs seriously since I fast on Wednesday's/Friday's & can only eat vegan. She went above & beyond to make sure my needs were meet! & as I was waiting I noticed how clean the area is. & once I got my order it came out so fresh; plan on visiting again! & thank you for the great experience!”

“The manager, Everton, runs our favorite Olive Garden! Food is great and everyone always feels well-taken care of. Thank you for continuously giving our neighborhood a great experience!”

“The food is great! If you are looking for some quick delicious Mexican fulfillment this is the spot. Quality ingredients with limited choices. The burritos are huge! Drinks, you pick your Mexican choice, they have it.”

“Mediterranean power bowl w/tofu instead of chicken”

“The place for all seafood needs! Product is always fresh. Tim Ferguson goes above and beyond to provide the best customer service possible! Delivery drivers are also always very professional and helpful.”

“First time I have ordered from here and I am very pleased with the food. Everything was great. I did call and told the manager over the phone.. He needed to hear that,,”

“great specials fantastic service you want to runs around and cleans things up behind people Thursdays are there slow day everybody go on Thursdays”

“I really liked this place overall. The ramen had good flavor but was too salty for my taste. On the other hand, the karaage was absolutely perfect—probably the best I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. The staff didn’t come to take our order, and we had to go up to the counter to ask for the check.”

“I had the pulled chicken entree with golden corn bake and roasted Brussels sprouts for sides, plus a fountain drink for a late lunch ~1:30 on a weekday.

I had the dining room to myself (a plus for me as I like solitude).

Tables were clean, food was delicious and the staff attentive.

With tax and tip, I was paid less than $25.

I have enough chicken and corn bake for a second meal. I couldn't NOT finish the Brussels sprouts.

In addition to the two sides, I took advantage of the offered (complimentary aka free) slice of white bread and sweet and sour pickles.

I have been here before, but that was years ago. Im glad to see its just as good as always and still in business.

Lord willing, I will return soon. Its out of my way but oh, so good!

I would like to see some senior meals or discounts offered for patrons who have lived 60 (sixty) plus years.”

“I I and his wife are amazing people. I come here for lunch about 3 times a week and order the same thing. I’m a familiar face now so whenever I come in he already knows what I’m going to order. peanut butter, with Whey protein, and southwest wrap. Always a good Atmosphere to grab lunch at.”

“The staff is very friendly and efficient. The coffee is delicious. I just got my usual, a tall latte.

Vegetarian options: Coffee is Vegan!?

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free.Everything is clearly marked with ingredients. Any questions the staff is happy to answer.

Parking: It's a well maintained Target parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: The staff is kind to all the guests.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's in Target. Totally wheel chair accessible.”

“Finally found my 1st great Thai place in Lake Cty since I moved here a year ago from Chicago... I tried them yesterday and looooved the eggplant with basil and basil chicken dishes... It's 30 minutes away but that's better then having to drive twice as long to the City for great Thai... I'll definitely be back again and try some of the other unique dishes they have to offer!! 😋🌶😋”

“Love this location! The pastries and donuts are fresh and delicious, the drinks are super well made, and the staff are polite, friendly, and helpful. I love coming here before or after a movie— don’t have a pic as I ate it too quickly, but the chocolate donut is incredible. The filling is chocolatey but light, the donut itself is airy and not too sweet. The chai latte is also fantastic. Highly recommend :)”

“I have to say this place was bussin! Ishmael our server was on top of the drinks, the food and service as well. I can't tell you as someone who lives on the road how much good service and food on the road is missing. This place though went above and beyond food came straight out the menu. Check it out”

“We each got your own unlimited pizzas and all the ingredients looked fresh and tasted great. We were both very pleased with our pizzas and enjoyed the hot honey on top! I don’t know if it’s new but we got the No Name cakes as well…oh my god, so good!!”

“You can never go wrong here.. The food is absolutely delicious and fare priced. The service is great. Courteous and friendly. Chilaquiles, tacos or burritos whatever your taste you won’t go wrong.”

“I am now in love & have found my new little favorite bakery. When I walked in I thought it was the cutest little shop ever. So bright & clean. So many cute little gift items, even for your pampered pooch. I bought 2 dozen variety mini bundts and they were sooooo delicious and very moist. The cream cheese frosting was out of the world. The presentation was awesome. I loved how they put a card inside each box so everyone knew what they were eating. I will definitely be back.”

“I used live in Vernon Hills and I often came here to eat cinnamon rolls because they are delicious.I was passing by yesterday and remembered that place.I could pass.Again the food was excellent and great service.The workers were very friendly.I definitely want to come again and bring my family and friends.”

“Good burger and fries. As close to homemade as I have had in a fast food restaurant. A bit overpriced but so are most things today. Decent atmosphere and great service.”

“Found my favorite childhood snack — egg waffles 🧇 — at MilkCow cafe near home! Definitely coming back again! Their ice cream was amazing too — super creamy and full of milky goodness 🍦💛”

“Excellent lunch stop. Very fresh and plentiful. We will definitely be going back to try some other menu options. Loved the self-service iced tea choices instead of the standard soda options.”

“Been coming here on multiple occasions and their sandwiches are amazing. Definitely recommended if you haven’t tried it yet. Furthermore definitely having it on their wrap is great not as heavy on the bread. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I gave tasty Thai a good rating cause it’s always the best food in the world they have good service and good food and the atmosphere is always great and food to make your mouthwater I would order Thai again and kid friendliness is always with great services to get want you want to order what want and provide wonderful refreshments in your own comfort I gave tasty Thai 10/10 the best”

“ABSruCKS. & lettin every body know it too.”

“Great staff and friendly atmosphere. Always fun to sit and spin wool on my spinning wheel while carrying on conversations with other patrons curious about what I’m doing.”

“Nov 30, 2025
I had their harissa chicken bowl with a skewer of salmon kabob on a side. It was alright, nothing extraordinary.
$19,48 - including tax. They are kinda stingy on protein, that amount of chicken was for kids size meal. That’s why I had to add salmon ($4 for 2 tinny pieces of salmon).”

“Love coming to this Chick-fil-a location. I've been to the Gurnee one and it was bad. The staff here are very friendly and do a great job. Always appreciate when they walk around and see how things are going. Have bailed me out many times for a refill when I didn't want to leave my kid alone at the table. My daughter loves the mac and cheese and playing in the play place. Our orders always come out correct. Condiments and napkins are always well stocked. The Gurnee location I had to ask the counter for ketchup and extra napkins... Love the random bingo nights and things like that too.”
