“Tasty food! Fried calamari was just perfect! & Shrimp tacos were very authentic! Our waitress Ana was so friendly and welcoming . My family and I will be back!“

“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!“

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

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!“

“Ordered Thanksgiving dinner for the past several years and this year, again, it didn’t disappoint. Juicy turkey with plenty of sides. Delicious! Thanks L Woods! Thanks for the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. We’ll being dining soon at the Lodge.“

“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.“

“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
