“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!!“

“ALL THE BAD REVIEWS ARE NOT TRUE! This is an amazing boba stand and the customer service is just amazing! I have never been disappointed by the employees nor the drinks. I and my family are always so pleased to come by and stop by for a tasty drink! These people must have had bad days and twisted the story a bit, but no one I’ve ever known has ever had a bad experience! Today was still awesome and I enjoyed the boba I got today :))“

“Delicious, fresh, healthy smoothies on a hot day were absolutely perfect. William made our daughter a minion milkshake (and secretly made it healthy without her knowing, which was perfect for our very picky eater), and our son enjoyed a taro boba tea with popping mango boba. Such a great find, and fabulous owner!“

“Tina G’s in Mundelein is truly a gem! As happy multiple visit repeat customers, we can’t say enough about the outstanding food, warm atmosphere, and the incredible people who make every visit so special.

Dining here is always more than a meal—it’s a memorable experience filled with flavor, comfort, and joy. We can’t wait to return again and again, and we recommend Tina G’s to anyone who loves great food and genuine warmth!“

I'm really bad with names, but an older gentleman with glasses that was working tonight always goes above and beyond to make me feel better every time I come in late at night. The food is always perfect.“

“great easy going atmosphere“

“Visited for breakfast a few days ago and had the best French toast I've ever had; they do their Cinnamon Roll French Toast right. Our server was super friendly, the kitchen was backed up a little but she made sure to check in frequently and keep us updated. Super cute inside too, definitely recommend for easy breakfast!“

“I rarely eat out these days because it’s hard to find places that truly care about using quality ingredients, but this place blew me away! The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The Million Dollar Bacon is incredible—perfectly cooked and so flavorful. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

“we love these healthy treats!“

“Great experience; with no reservation, on a busy Saturday night, we were able to sit at the bar and had a wonderful time. The bartender was a pleasure, and so was his friend lol. Great steaks, drinks and atmosphere!! Seriously, his friend was dreamy!! Thank you Stevens for a wonderful evening, one my new sailor will forever remember! Love from Texas!!“

“Stopped here on a whim, and I’m very glad that I did! Bit of a small indoor and outdoor seating area but cozy and authentic vibes nonetheless. More importantly, the food is top notch! The carne asada burrito was one of the best that I’ve had around in the northwest suburbs. The steak was perfectly grilled, juicy and flavorful, and the best part being there was plenty of it inside the burrito! If you’re looking for fresh, homemade, authentic Mexican food that won’t break the bank in the northwest suburbs then Taqueria El Comalito is a must try!“

“Love this place! I’m from Wisconsin but life close to the Illinois boarder. I came across this gem while driving by. We stopped and order food- and then went back up to the window to order a few more times. The staff were very sweet and time efficient. Their creamsicle soft serve cone is to die for! We’ll be back!“

“We had a holiday party for a bunch of girls. Ignacio was a wonderful server and did a great job. So much fun.!“

“Craft distilleries & craft breweries are nearly a dime a dozen these days. Copper Fiddle is worth WAY more than a dozen dimes. If you don’t feel welcomed the moment you walk in the door, you just aren’t conscious. Great place for delicious cocktails & a stellar musical lineup. Commitment to quality achievement unlocked ✅“

“What an adorable place!!! Eclectic , cozy look and vibe, they have pour over coffee which is what i chose, soooo good and really unique latte concoctions I have not seen anywhere else. There is a covered outdoor patio, with rocking chairs, a few chairs in front porch, ofcourse interior seating. Some standard tables and chairs but also couches and benches. The parking in back is tight. I recommend checking this place out if you want a different vibe than the usual Cafe.“

“Delicious food !! Great service.“

“We sort of fell upon Joanie's when we went to the Strawberry Festival in Long Grove and it was the star attraction for all of us!!! My husband and I had the most delicious salad that we completely devoured in record time along with that mouthwatering cheesy pizza that we ordered along with it!!! My Mom and Aunt ordered the chicken and Mom commented...."Now that's the way chicken is supposed to be made!!!" They were served a large tray with 4 LARGE pieces of chicken, potatoes, and long buns!!! They took half of it home and had it for dinner tonight!!! But the piece de resistance was the hot homemade strawberry rhubarb pie with vanilla ice cream that seriously 4 of us shared!!!! Wow!!! What a treat!!! Oh... and....Our meals were served Hot....not cold....HOT...out of the oven.....again, the way a meal should be served! HOT!!! ha ha ha...The ambience was fun and the view of the water from our vantage point was just breathtaking!!! Our server Derrick was such a nice young man! He was professional, made certain that we were ok, and went back and forth many times for those extra things that we needed for our meal!!! I'm certain that it was very hectic for all of the servers during the fest, but they handled the crowds so well!!! Again, we were just thrilled to have stumbled on Joanie's!!! It's worth going back for seconds, thirds, fourths....etc....ha ha ha“

“amazing food and awesome staff!!“
