“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.“

“If you come to Chicago, you need to find yiur way to Big Eds at 651 Lakehurst in Waukegan!!! This place stands on it's own 2 feet side by side with anyplace we've been in Fort Worth! Excellent brisket and pulled pork, and some of the best mashed potatoes and mac and cheese I've had outside of my own house!! Good stuff!“

“If you understand BBQ-- REAL good BBQ takes time to smoke to a tender, juicy, pinky, perfect flavor. You need to have a great deal of patience and skill. Lee and Danita have that gift in their soul so you have to wait for all that goodness to be assembled for your dining experience. Sit and talk after placing your order be patient and you won't EVER be disappointed.“

“Chicago Culinary Kitchen in Palatine? Yes, please! Great appetizers, a killer smoked meat burrito, and awesome service. Loved it!“

“First, the food is DELICIOUS! They have a lot more flavors of chicken available than some other K.F.C. restaurants. The tteokbokki offers more flavors & add in’s as well. You can tell the company really cares about their food quality and customer satisfaction-eg they have steam vents built into the containers and the keep your to-go order propped slightly open until you pick up your order all so that your chicken remains crispy, rather than getting soggy waiting in a closed container! The staff are always very polite & conscientious. LOVE THIS PLACE!“

“Fire rib tips, fire chicken, fire ribs🔥“

“This is the second year we’ve gotten your Thanksgiving dinner, specifically the Son of a Feast for my husband and I. Easily 6+ servings. Absolutely phenomenal! There was not a single thing that I thought was “meh” and the green beans were amazing, much improved since last year. We will continue to get these holiday dinners as long as you offer them! Can’t wait for Christmas!“

“Hell yes! It’s absolutely delicious!“

“With new Korean places popping up in Vernon Hills, this place is still a family favorite. The food is home-cooked and super authentic — not to mention several dollars cheaper than alternative K-restaurants. The mom-and-pop vibes are real, and we’re always greeted with big smiles. Will be back :)“

“I had not been to Carson's in many years as I was not in the area. Happily, my return trip was superb— just as amazing as I remembered it. How many times are we disappointed when we go back to an old favorite after 10 or 20 years? The answer is more frequently than not. Now that I am back in the Chicago area, there are likely to be many returns. Best BBQ ever. Keep up the great work and don't change anything. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Went there on 6/22/22. We ate outside and were pleased to have a musician playing on the patio. The food was excellent as was the service. Bring your appetite and still expect to take home leftovers. Classic menu of steaks, chops, sandwiches and top notch BBQ. This will be a mainstay for us moving forward. Can't recommend this place enough!“

Excellent food, homemade desserts , amazing customer service!!! Thank you for your hard work and wish you all the best!“

“Best breakfast food to dine in and has wonderful service . Love going to Monica’s Diner.“

“This restaurant could probably survive (with some lower cost) outside of a theme park. I only have tried one thing, the pulled cajun chicken and Mac and cheese) and they were really good. There's a selection of sauces at your table. If you have a dining pass, I would suggest visiting this place. If you don't, it will cost you a good penny (18-16 per entree, that does include a side).“

“I drove past this place for the last 16 years always meaning to try the chicken. Well today I did and I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was delicious, so moist and crispy outside. Yes please. I got a 2 piece meal. Come with 2 sides and a biscuit. It was under 8.00. You just can’t beat that. And they have a drive thru!?! 16 years wasted. Now I know.“
