“Me and my cross country team visited after a hard workout for a good meal and they did not dissapoint. Great people who made sure we had everything we needed. They also gave us a bunch of extra food. Thank you city bbq.”

“This location recently opened and we have been there twice so far. Our servers and bartenders have been more than accommodating. The menu is varied enough to appeal to everyone. We have been there with family and friends and everyone was more than pleased with the food. Place has a great vibe. Their own beers are top notch but if you are not a beer drinker they have a great wine menu and great cocktail offerings. We will be back. Run, don’t walk”

“Chicken Florintine was excellent, and the Terra Masu was the best I've ever tasted.”

“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.”

“My wife and I went in for breakfast the Friday before Labor Day weekend and were surprised to see a small wait (wasn't bad ~ 10 min), but we opted to grab a couple of seats at the counter. It was a cool vibe sitting there like it was a bar but for coffee (although they do have a few cocktails too - will have to come back for brunch sometime). I was tempted to get a nitro cold brew as I love those but I wanted a few cups of coffee and the drip includes free refills and even a to-go cup! The coffee was very good, glad I got it. I got one of the omelettes and it was fantastic as were the potatoes. And definitely get the biscuit! It was sooo good with a touch of honey on it. The manager stopped by at one point to ask us how everything was and told us about now the potatoes are fresh cut in house every day and the biscuits homemade too. Service was absolutely great, can't wait to come back again.”

“Dining solo on a Saturday night, date night for a lot of people, can be challenging. Getting a decent table, having a attentive servers, and getting the best recommendations is not always top shelf. The Nirvana experience from the moment I walked in the door was definitely top shelf.

Recommendations and explanations of the menu were exceptional. A lively discussion of wine pairings was very educational and productive. Attention to detail and servers who remembered the solo diner was very much appreciated. This was my first experience at Nirvana and it won’t be my last!”

“Second visit as good as the first. Fresh ingredients quick service good selections. Several great vegetarian options too! I should have taken a few pix because each plate was artistic. Above all the food was great!”

“the Sicilian salad was very tasty and enough for 2. The half/half evoo #13 and #14 pizza was a delightful taste change . I enjoiyed it all as did my sister who is a frequent visitor and helped us decide what we wanted.”

“3 rd time ordering from here . Ordered via phone since we were driving . When we got there food should have been down from time quoted but we waited at least 15 more minutes . Arrived home with food and after ordering my burger rare with only bacon tomatoes and lettuce it had everything !! And you can’t get the taste of a pickle out of a bun … disgusting !!! To add to this disaster we called to complain and put on hold for OVER 10 min then hung up on !!! Way to go Lazy Dog such great service … NOT !!!”

“We went specifically for the Friday fish fry. It was freshly made, not re- heated, and tasty. Plus the fries were outstanding, also freshly made. Our table overlooked the practice putting green and the 28th fairway. Being a golfer this was a fun background to watch. Gerber, our waiter, was excellent. Attentive without being intrusive. There were mostly golfers after their round having drinks rather than diners, but we will go back again as the menu looked good for other items other than the fish fry.”

“Always great entertainment and food!!!”

“Always enjoy our time at Uncle Julio’s! Great cocktails and food. Very aesthetic atmosphere. Most importantly, the service is exceptional!”

“Amazing service & most tasty dinner. Loved it all.”

“Great products but why is the store not addressing the mask mandate? I was in shopping yesterday and saw more then 10 people without a mask on.”

“The food tastes very good, I do not recommend the shrimp, they quickly become a little cold and with cold fat.

Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is totally familiar.”

“ABSOLUTELY must go! Such a friendly server and I felt so welcome. I really like spicy food myself but the people who cant handle spice well be cautious because they come to serve SPICE. Everything I tasted was delicious, I was sniffling and sweating but scarfing my face. Props to the only worker there, he was so sweet and gave me a free milkis. I WILL be coming back. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Just stopped in for an early lunch, the food was delicious. The staff was friendly and the place was super clean. It will be our new favorite place for a quick fresh meal.”

“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!”

“I tried a coffee from here for the first time. Elena is so sweet and I LOVEEEE her accent. But she truly is so nice and sweet and I love that (i think i have a crush on her). Apart from her the coffee was SOOOO good. I was feeling low on energy so I needed something and this coffee was amazing. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and that makes me very happy to see. It’s safe to say i won’t be getting coffee from anyone else bc I love every but about it.”

“I tried Cava for the first time today and it was delicious! The staff were so nice and helpful, the environment was clean and friendly, and the food was amazing. I would absolutely continue to come here.”

“The pizza and wings were amazing!! The sauce was perfect, crust was so nice and thin and toppings were chunky and plentiful. Definitely coming back!”

“The best Korean fried chicken place within the area. Snow onion chicken is my favorite. They have a generous amount of outdoor space as well. Boba dessert is a must for my kids.”

“My co-workers had told me about this cute sushi spot. It was perfect! Fresh, quick service, and an amazing lunch! Thank you I will be back for the foreseeable future.”

Besides that this place does deserve five stars!”

“My entire family devoured our food. We were comatose afterwards. We ordered rib tips, turkey, brisket, & half chicken. The meat was so good & tender. Baked beans were surprisingly delicious as well. However, $25 pp, complimentary cornbread would have been appreciated. Lasrly, the Mac & cheese was bland but edible.”

“Delicious food, attentive staff, great experience.”

“Popped in for half a chicken and some calamari. Both were very good. Would be a 5 star if price was a bit lower. $17 for half a chicken is high and $8 for a few pieces of calamari also is a bit high.. Will I return? yes, but not frequently as I would like to due to prices.”

“My coworkers and I wanted to get some ramen and I will say ramen house was the right choice. We all loved the gyoza that we shared. Flavor and done’ness level was on point! I got the vegetarian ramen and enjoyed every bite and drop of soup. The service was a little slow which normally isn’t the case. I will say that this shop is way better inside than some of the other locations! Ramen for the win!”

“Rating a 4 star because I prefer more of a Chipoltle or Milwaukee Taco type of food..Overall, the food was hot and taste good. The chips and Salso were mediocre and could have used more flavors. I will say the highlihht of my lunch was the Horchata! That was one of the best Ive had in a while! So refreshing on a hot day and soooooo delicious!?”

“For my birthday I got a cinnamon roll! It was perfect! Hot and gooey in the center! The staff was quick and friendly! We sat in a booth in the food court, it was pretty quiet for a Saturday afternoon! We were very cozy with each other!”

“The pizza is good. You can build your own! Its a bit loud and we’ve had two bad service experiences. Once ordering online they messed up our order. Another time the misunderstood my wife’s order for a pizza salad NOT a pizza with a salad. Counter staff was very rude about it. But our pizzas have always been great. Won’t order online again tho.”

“Cheeseburger was delicious. Fries were too, as usual.
This location was very clean, and there was an employee who was constantly cleaning, I really pay attention to that.”

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Time for a strawberry blizzard!”

“THEY HAVE MY FAVORITE BOBA IN THE WORLD !!!!!!!”

The gluten-free pancakes were some of the best I've ever had. The restaurant was clean and quiet. Tina was our server and we received excellent service with a beautiful smile. Thanks for a great lunch!

“I have been coming here since they opened. I do not live in Vernon hills anymore but I stop by whenever I’m in the neighborhood. Love this place❤️”

“Our first time. Our granddaughters love this place. The chicken sandwiches were great. I was disappointed that the waffle fries weren't crispier. We did drive-through, and the attendant was wonderful and patient as we navigated the menu for the first time. It's also why I didn't rate the atmosphere, although it was a lovely evening outdoors!”
