“We came very early for dinner. The sevice person was very warm and accommodating. The food was served in a timely manner. The table had as a couple of the entrees, a beyond burger and a walleye dish. These 2 dishes were absolutely remarkable. The fish was prepared perfectly. The burger was juicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back.“
“We discovered this authentic Japanese style Korean BBQ restaurant over 30 years ago. The husband wife team make sure you enjoy your food. The chef is a highly trained Japanese chef and his skills are reflected in the exceptional quality meat choices, appetizers and soups. You could just order appetizers and be delighted but the meats are the highlight for their delicious marinades and seasonings. Real charcoal made of specialty hardwoods give the meats that unique smoky flavor. The prices will reflect the careful attention to quality and is well worth it in my opinion of 30 years of enjoying my favorite BBQ place. This is a one of a kind experience. The reason there are so many baseball photos and memorabilia in the restaurant is because this restaurant has been a favorite of every Japanese baseball player in Chicago and around the country and the owners are huge fans of baseball. This restaurant is famous in Japan when visiting Chicago.Parking: Easy street parkingKid-friendliness: Family friendly restaurant. I've been bringing my kids since they were babies“
“The Peking duck three ways is the absolute move. The fried rice is good The egg rolls are excellent and the Chinese broccoli and bok choy are the bomb. They were low on beers as far as selection but everything else is always top notch here. Make sure you get a reservation because they can sell out of duck fairly quickly“
“I rarely write reviews but after our meal from Cluckers, I felt I must. Our first time getting food from Cluckers/Wilmette and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The first impression was the very friendly and efficient staff. Lovely to deal with! Then the meal...no fast food flavors here, it tasted more like homemade! Every aspect of our dinner was delicious: chicken, cornbread muffins, slaw and Caesar salad. No doubt we will be back to try something else!“
“I didn’t get a chance to take a picture because I ate my food so fast ?. This was my first time trying their chicken. Everything was absolutely delicious. The employees were so friendly. The restaurant was so clean inside and out. I really enjoyed eating here!“
“Good food! We tried few varieties and everything tasted really well. Owner is a nice person too. I would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for Mediterranean food. Space is a bit tight but they compensate that with good service.Dietary restrictions: Halal“
“Food was great. Traditional Korean food. (Pot stickers was not that great. Very thin)The place itself is very small and they have packed way too many chairs into this place. No elbow space.They would only seat you if your entire party is there. We were 5. But there isn't really a place for us to wait without being right on top of some other diners tables. A bit awkward.“
“My best, all-time favorite and go-to Korean BBQ ever throughout many years!! Could never express how much I love the food and the service here. Up until now, no place can match the marinated galbi they have here, as long as their kimchi soup. Highly recommended!!“
“To start I’m Korean, my family is in Korea, and I love food. To the ones who said the food was bad or mediocre, stay in the HMart food court or whatever tiktok ramen yall wanna make. The obvious hate is so undeserved.This place always delicious. Brought a big group of coworkers here to try kbbq for the first time. The aunties were super helpful and let us individually box things up to go when we couldn’t finish.They were so polite and patient with us because we didn’t know what we wanted.Dietary restrictions: There’s no cheese, dairy and meatless optionsParking: There’s a parking lot but it’s not very big because you’re in a busy area. There’s plenty of side and street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Front door entrance is ground level“
“The food was delicious. I had the rack of ribs and they were great. The jalapeño cheese sauce was a really good dip for the fries. Everyone at my table enjoyed their food. The service was great. Our server Colleen did an amazing job accommodating our needs in such a busy establishment. The atmosphere was fun. They had trivia night while we were there and you could tell it was a pretty big deal amongst the locals. The guy running the trivia was a star! His personality is great for it. This is definitely a place where the local people go which made it even better. We were even blessed with a Will Perdue citing. He is in one of the pics sitting with his family. It doesn’t get much more Chicago than that. Go Bulls! I would definitely come back to City’s Edge!“
“Great place to have a casual meal with friends or family. Not sure if you need a reservation but we made one for a Friday night just in case. Sat at a round table with cushy comfy chairs. You scan a QR code on the table, order what you want and keep your tab open. Our friends did the same on their own phone so at the end there was no awkward; how much do we each owe? situation. I wanted a beer flight but had no idea what to order so I waved down someone by the bar. I told him I usually like Blue moon, Stella, and coronas so he told me to order the "light flight" So I did and I loved all three choices. For my meal I had the Lobster Roll with a side of fries. My husband got the Chimichurri Arrenchera Sandwich and we split a large Mac and Cheese. My lobster Roll was packed with meat. So good and I was glad I got it. My hubby loved his sandwich as well. Neither of us were fans of the Mac and Cheese and I thought the seasoned fries could have been better. I will definitely come back to this hidden gem. I'm looking forward to sitting outside when the weather gets nicer.“
“Still hitting on all cylinders, carrying on the namesake’s focus on quality and great service. Had a great family meal of St Louis ribs, tips, smoked chicken and some pulled pork, sauce on the side of course. Been enjoying Hecky’s for 35+ years (old Highwood location was my first time), this meal was right up there with my memories best.“
“Nice place. Food was quite good as was the old fashioned. I was in the bar so the server was the bartender and I managed to get great service. They had wonderful deviled eggs. The baked onion soup was tasty - on the sweet side- the melted cheese could have been crisper. The medallions were overdone but still were tender (?!? How did they do that) and flavorful. Didn’t care for the creamed spinach but maybe that is my taste. The au gratin potatoes were quite good. I was quite annoyed with the surcharge. It said I could ask to take it off but it came off the tip. Big business wins again. The menu was quite limited.“

“5 star food and service every time. Tonight we had the pleasure of being waited on by Lupe. Lupe is very passionate making sure he provides excellent customer service for his guests. He knows the menu and explained it in great detail at our table. He offered suggestions when asked and the suggestions were spot on. We started with the corn bread which was warm and the soft butter only made it better. For dinner most of our table had ribs. The ribs were cooked to perfection with the sauce ratio being spot on. You can taste the freshness of the ribs let me tell you, delicious! A few ordered the NY Strip steak with the added optional char, it was amazing. For dessert our table shared a few sundaes and the brownies a la mode. OMG, what a way to end the perfect dinner! Thank you Lupe and all the competent staff for a great dinner. Stop in and ask for Lupe! He will make your dinner or special occasion extra smooth!“
“This is the best Greek village salad I’ve ever had. This is my favorite type of salad and usually the only type of salad I will eat. I got it from here a few weeks ago and have been thinking about it ever since….so glad I went back for it again today - YUM!!Their marinated meats for the grill are also delicious!!“
“This has been my go-to shop for broasted chicken. Quaint little hole-in-the-wall place for good quality, fresh food. I have not yet had any negative experiences with their chicken, apart from maybe the occasional soggy bits on the otherwise crispy skin, but that could be attributed to the chicken steaming inside of the box during the car ride home, so it is best eaten as quickly as can be devoured to experience max deliciousness and freshness. I have been ordering take-out from them for several years and hopefully will continue ordering from them for several more years to come.“
“Thanksgiving dinner was amazing, all made by Hofherr. Delicious smoked turkey, never dry cornbread and andouille sausage stuffing, rich, creamy gravy, uniquely flavored mashed potatoes, wild rice salad, and green bean casserole. All I had to do was warm it up at 325 degrees. Feast for my family.“
“Great food very fresh and plenty of protein!I've had beef and chicken bulgogi Only bad side no banchan sides at allHad to order a small side of Kimchi for $3 .. considering the plates are $15 or $16 it should be included otherwise everything else is great, have been here 3 times now during my lunch time“
“The Best Pho in and near Chicago!This place is really a Hidden Gem! The food Quality is Superior to Pho Restaurants in the Downtown Area and in China town!The owner really know what he is doing and they provide a generous Military Discount.I love this place and I recommend it in any type of weather also try the iced coffee!!!Vegetarian options: Options for Everyone !!Parking: It's is located right next to wing stop !!! In a small shopping plaza on the Westside of Harlem Ave.“
“This is the first time we have been here. Our friends invited us. We loved it. Most delicious steak and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend and ask for Jasmine. She is the very best server in Chicago area. Also see Zach at the bar; very friendly and fast.“
“So me and my girlfriend were walking on the sculpture park path when we saw (and smelled) this restaurant. We were both hungry and felt lazy to cook at home so we decided to drop in. From the outside it looked like a sit down restaurant, but when we went in it was more of a fast food Greek gyro joint with no d (nothing wrong with that in my opinion). We both got a gyro sandwich and shared an onion ring side. We got our food pretty fast and it was delicious! However, I do think they kinda went overboard on the onions but that's probably just me. Would recommend this place heavily for a quick bite to eat.“
“I had the pleasure of sampling several smokey delights from Goodstuff Eats last night. These smoked meats are probably the BEST I've ever tasted. From ribs to brisket, pork belly to sweet potato, everything was dynamite. And enhanced with the homemade bbq sauces, this was such a treat. Gus puts so much love and effort into the meats he prepares, you owe it to yourself to try this place. I live about 45 minutes from Goodstuff Eats, and I will definitely be back for these smokey treats!“
“Loved this place, just across the street from the Hampton Inn we stayed so ordered and picked up right away. Kimchi fries are plenty for two and are delish!! Spicy chicken bowl was also very good, too! Employees were very courteous and helpful upon arrival to pick up my food. They have Korean style burgers too, but I just wasn't in the mood for it. I'm sure it's great as well. I'll be back again!“
“The new owner is young and ready to turn this place around with some good and fresh ideas. Always nice to see a local owner put love and care into the business. I ordered their marinated skirt steak with grilled onions and the bread was super fresh. Highly recommend as I now know I can pick up their premade skirt steaks to make for Shabbat or one night during the week!Parking: Number of parking on main central street. Parking in back near Anthropology“
“This is a cute American barbecue spot. Lots of families and groups of friends here. Our waitress was friendly and I liked the decor.Parking: use the parking garage (restaurant will validate parking so it’s free). The parking garage has an elevator (disability friendly).We ordered a sliced brisket sandwich with a side of Brussels sprouts, phoebes mac and cheese with chili, a fancy old fashioned and a zombie beer. The sandwich was definitely the highlight.Parking: Restaurant will validate parking“
“In order to get better Chinese BBQ at Chinatown prices you have to drive to Chinatown ??♂️. Specifically now the Kennedy expressway is under construction, Jason is it.The lunch plates with a little vegetable, some basic soup and a BBQ meat is about &10-$12. It isn’t a good value anymore. Tasty but not a good deal.Carry out only.“
“It was our first time and Paul our waiter was exceptionally great! He helped us order all the right things! Really created an easy/chill experience. Don’t snooze on the YANGNYEOM GALBI & SAMGYEOPSAL. Pink radish and kimchi were good and oh portions are huge! Lychee soju & Cass beer paired well with dinner! We came late on Thursday night and the lot was packed, so prepare to look for street parking.. nonetheless we will definitely be back 10/10 ? PS Gogi is 1-of-4 K-BBQ spots in the city that uses charcoal grill ? “
“It's been too long, Gale Street Inn! We missed the mouth-watering ribs, the classic cocktails, the skilled staff. Well, last night we finally made it back, along with couple friends visiting from Germany, and boy, you did no disappoint! Our friends were duly impressed with the classy supper-club-like atmosphere (we had to explain "supper club"), the size and flavor of the succulent ribs, the melt-in-your-mouth salmon, and a small, but well-curated beer selection. Just as delightful as we remembered. Thank you, George and Staff. We look forward to shortening the gaps between our visits.“
“We enjoyed dinner after a concert at the Winnetka Chapel. We enjoy sitting at the bar for quick service so we did and Raphael was our server. He was so nice and attentive. I had a delicious Blackberry and Bourbon cocktail to start while Craig had a craft beer. Lots to choose from for dinner! I wanted something light so chose the Beet and chicken salad. It had a light dressing on really fresh greens and freshly roasted beets and mandarin oranges. Craigs salad was Ahi Tuma on greens. I loved the marinade and intense freshness of his salad. Both salads had tender protein and very fresh greens. We loved the ambience and the personal attention. The staff all said good night as we left. If you want to watch soccer, the bar will accommodate.“
