50 Best American Restaurants near Wheeling

“Went with family for the Friday night fish special. Was pretty good, but the gem was the variety of sizes that came with the platter. Everything could have used a bit more seasoning, except the veggies provided with it were done well. Typical decor for this type of establishment.“

“The staff is very friendly. The food was good. The atmosphere was wonderful. I recommend you guys to get the hamburger there they have different ones.“

“Great food with friendly staff“

“Mrs Brandy take care about our table. She is very kind of very nice lady. She helped us for choice , food she’s amazing lady. When I come again I would like to she take care about us.“

“Last place I know of that still makes everything from scratch. You can totally taste the difference. I have never eaten hash browns that are this “potato” fresh- not ever. And if you choose the “fresh fruit” option, it seems like they literally just sliced it up before they put it on your plate. I have never gotten fruit here that is dehydrated on the edges like you get at a lot of restaurants where you can tell it’s been sitting “cut up” for a long time waiting to be plopped on a plate. I know that’s considered normal prep work for most kitchens but i’m convinced this place must slice at the moment before they serve it because it’s still juicy you can just tell it’s just been cut.“

“Excellent food and service with never having your water empty to offering more napkins and large portions. Thanks again and we will be back and going to try a lunch option next visit.“

“This place is absolutely adorable and cozy! Food was just perfect, had smoked salmon benedict and it was the best breakfast I’ve ever had!!! 10/10“

“My first visit to Inovasi and it did not disappoint! Our server Lucia was fantastic- knowledgeable friendly and she helped me find just the right cocktail! We started with their delicious bread, and then had the crispy pork belly for appetizer. For entree we had a filet with shaved truffles and a blackened cod with lime and whipped edamame. Both were superb as was the dessert of flourless chocolate cake with raspberry purée and shipped goats cheese, and a pumpkin cheesecake. All was delicious, and the ambiance and decor was warm and inviting. We will be back!“

“This place was SO good. We got Fry N Chicken to go and it was still hot and crispy when we got home. The chicken was super crunchy but juicy inside and actually seasoned really well, not bland at all. You can tell it’s fresh.

The fries were also really good crispy, not greasy, and nicely seasoned. Portions were solid and it definitely felt worth it.

Honestly, it reminded me of Raising Cane’s in Dubai. Not a lot of fried chicken spots around here are actually yummy, but this one really is. We were impressed and will for sure be coming back. 🍗🍟“

“You feel at home here eating outstanding Mongolian food. So good! You start off with Mongolian milk tea which is warming and refreshing. We had Tsuivan and Huushuur and both were delicious. The Huushuur (large fried dumpling) was juicy and oh so tasty, and the Tsuivan (a noodle dish) was amazing. I love that we have so many wonderful restaurants in Chicagoland. Mongolian food is so comforting, and this place is now on my list of favorite places.“

I highly recommend it⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

Service was great (which we didn't experience in multiple fine dining restaurants downtown) and food was yummy and a good selection. .. they had awesome recommendations and treated us wonderfully! Didn't rush us and from 5-6pm we nearly had the place to ourselves before the dinner rush! Highly recommended by this out of town visiting family!

“When I’m in this part of town, I always make it a point to stop in for lunch or dinner. I’ve been here over a dozen times in the past four years, and not once have I had a bad experience with either the service or the food. I’m always trying something new, and everything I’ve ordered has been flavorful and delicious.

If you sit at the bar, the bartenders are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. They mix a fantastic cocktail, too. I highly recommend this spot to anyone in the Glenview, Northbrook, or Northfield area or if you live in the city like me and want to try something different head north it’s truly a great place!“
