“This is the first time my family and I are here. This restaurant has been around for 3 years and somehow, it has gone under my radar and I'm mad about it. Lol. The food here is fantastic and the family that runs this restaurant is super kind and generous. Excellent sized portions which makes this a tremendous bang for your buck. Umm, the gyro here...best kept secret (not any longer, I guess) Be sure to try the sage tea! Everything was so wonderful that I can't wait to go back and try something new!“

“Great place for drinks and good music. Friday nights are a blast when line dancing is happening!“

“I ordered delivery, so I can’t vote on service or atmosphere. I’m not even done eating yet, but had to stop and leave five stars before I forgot. I got the rib tips, collared greens, and chicken gumbo. the rib tips came with coleslaw. every single one of these items are a repeat order. the flavors involved...man oh man.“

“I know you already have so many 5 star reviews, but I have to add my 5 star review. First of all, your bartender is amazing, so helpful and personable. Second, your food is delicious! The ribs were so tender and the fries so crispy. Burnt ends were also perfect. What a great dinner experience. We will be back for sure!“

“Best barbecue in the land… little drive from the city but we’ll worth it… flavor and portion nobody can compare“

“I’ve always enjoyed my meals here, but tonight was a disappointment. I started with the French onion soup. It was the highlight of my dinner. Delicious. I ordered the Saturday night special, prime rib and a baked potato. The prime rib was cold. Not even close to hot. I did not get a steak knife to cut it with. I had to use the knife that came with the bread. The baked potato was just ok. It did not have enough butter or sour cream for the whole potato. I usually really like L Woods, but was very disappointed tonight.“

“Absolutely delicious food and excellent service! I arrived close to closing but my host Linnette guided me through the menu and recommendations, mentioned some off menu items, and answered my questions on ingredients. She was very friendly. When my order was ready she walked through everything and ensured it was all there before I left. The food is absolutely mouthwatering delicious! I have had creamed spinach at many famous steakhouses across the country including in New York and Las Vegas and this creamed spinach is hall of fame worthy. Creamy smooth and delicious. The rye bread was fresh and chopped liver tasted great. The au jus for the prime rib sandwich was steaming hot and the side of au gratin potatoes was an excellent choice. The prime rib was nicely rare and fatty. The tiramisu topped it off with a deliciously rich flavor that reminded me of the Italian restaurants I ate at growing up in NJ. 10/10 fantastic experience overall! As I was leaving a nice gentleman said thank you for dining with us, just overall friendly nice place with extremely good food and a caring nice staff! Portion sizes were generous too!

“We had a fabulous dinner last night at Chicago Kalbi with Cummins Peru, Komat'su, and the VPs from Antimina copper mine.

Such a great place, where you cook the wagyu & kobe beef at your table. The food was delicious ?

Isao Tozuka, the chef and his wife Chiyo-san, are fabulous hosts, very friendly, and really happy to help and show you how things are do e.

I would definitely recommend coming here. It's a unique place. Make sure you book though ad it can be busy.“

Each bite is a tastebud delight! And the bar - so special! If you want a true, high-quality, Chicago, eating experience don’t miss this place!!!!“

“I came to a private event at Shaevitz. The staff was very kind and welcoming, the food was fantastic. The brisket and burgers are very flavorful. Shaevitz is conveniently located in downtown Highland Park with plenty of parking in the area. Supporting a conservative Kosher business is definitely a plus.

Will definitely return.“

“An excellent Chinese BBQ place run by a very friendly and knowledgeable couple. They really know the art of BBQ and everything is cooked and prepared to perfection. The BBQ chef there had been around for at least a decade back from before the current owners took over the shop.

The prices are very reasonable and the taste authentic. The best part is buying BBQ from here saves me the time and hassle of going to Chinatown.“

“Tried it today for the first time! Very delicious, I loved the chicken mac & cheese. (Toddler approved too) The Cajun chicken sandwich is pretty good! I expected it would be spicy but sadly it wasn’t 🥲 Still was a great sandwich though! The cornbread muffins are amazingggg

Kid-friendliness: They have kid menus that come with crayons 🖍️“

“Love this place! The food is absolutely amazing. I can’t seem to stop ordering from Booby’s! Whenever there is celebration or a get together and we want to order out…my 1st choice is always Booby’s!“

“We went to firewater for their grinch brunch and it was amazing. I will absolutely do this every year now. The Grinch is hilarious and stays in character the whole time the food is delicious. There’s tons of options and you also have the option to just order off the menu. They serve bacon chicken tenders, eggs, macaroni, pancakes, French toast, cupcakes, cake, pops cookies, a different variety per table too. They have adorable drink menu for the season. Total worth it! My little guys still talk about it every day“

“I had a brisket burrito and Mac & cheese . Very Delicious ! I will be back.“

“We got the BBQ Salmon, Brisket, Shrimp and the owner even tossed in a fantastic Greek Salad on the house. This place is walking distance from home, definitely coming back with the family“

“Authentic cuisine from Hawaii. Loved the Pork Katsu with curry. I've looked for these tastes for more than a decade. I've found my new hangout. Musubi was also awesome.“
