“My daughter is not a burger person , Boba Burger is one of her favorite places to eat!!! #Makayla from Chicago PD“

“Been coming here since I was a kid! I moved up north and haven’t been back in years and as God as my witness it tastes like I never left. Thank you for the nostalgia!“

“Small and mighty. Had a fantastic bacon cheese burger and fries! Much needed in our neighborhood. My new spot.“

“Delicious Food and awesome service !!! We have now been enjoying this Dengeos Location for 4 awesome years !!!

Kid-friendliness: There are highchairs and large tables to accommodate.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ample parking and ease of entrance.“

“The service was fine. Our server was polite and responsive. The atmosphere is casual. As there are lots of hard surfaces, the noise level is somewhat high. The food was good. The "black truffle" barrata is a ball of cheese on top of some stewed green vegetables. I detected no evidence of any truffles in the dish. No truffle aroma or flavor. Seafood pasta primavera was tasty with fresh seafood.“

“Stopped here for a quick bite during my road trip and was impressed with the quality of their pizza. One of my favorite slices I tried was the Shawarma pizza. It’s very unique, different and packed with flavor . Def recommend giving them a try.“

“First , the smoke and aroma comin’ out the roof exhaust pipes . Lol 😛 Known for their hamburgers , dogs , apparently everything else on their menu is good . Being a member of Chicago Italian Beefs fB page , I just HAD to try theirs . Pretty darn good ! 9.0/10 Sweet n hot , dipped , nice crinkly fries 🍟 comin’ for da ride , and a tamale 🫔 to wash it down . Nice job guys at the PP in Des Plaines !!!“

“I recommend the Vegetable and FuFu“

“Love the food and there open late!!“

“I like to say “good food makes a soul happy”. When I'm having a tough day, nothing satisfies like good food. I ordered a double smashburger through Uber Eats, and it arrived warm with crispy fries. Everything was packed neatly, which made me excited to dig in. The burger was fantastic!! soft, perfectly seasoned, and the smash sauce was great! Unlike other places that over-salt their burgers, this one was spot on. I’ve found my new go-to spot. The fries were also a good portion. I’ll definitely order from there again, as long as they keep the seasoning consistent bc too much salt can ruin a meal!“

“Great tasting Zabiha Halal food. We ordered the Gyros sandwich, Chili Cheese Dog, and Spicy crispy Chicken Sandwhich.

Zaid (owner) is polite and service was fast. Highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: All Zabiha Halal“

“Budacki's is a classic neighborhood stop for fast eats. It boasts a broad menu of comfort food, from Polish dogs Chicago-style to gyros and Korean fare. It's not a large or contemporary space, but around rush hour, you'll find it full of regulars from blue and white collar workers to young families and school kids. If you're visiting, there are other spots that do something similar. But if you're new to the neighborhood, be sure to make the trip, and you'll easily find yourself a regular too.“

“Made fresh to order. I’ve tried plenty of their menu items and enjoyed everything!“

“I dont know how this place doesn't have 5 stars. The food was fresh and amazing. I got their signature Kick'n Burger which was juicy and the meat was tender and the ingredients were fresh. I also ordered their mozzarella sticks and fries which were fresh, crispy and delicious. Would definitely recommend and would go again in the future.“

“Today was my first time trying this place and I was impressed with my big and delicious Merkts cheeseburger and waffle fries. I'm definitely going back to try other things. The staff was very friendly and helpful, too. I was too hungry to remember to take pics.“

“Special thanks to Epic Burger for sponsoring the Pony Shop Juniors Cyclocross team, which practices over at Meadowhill Park in Northbrook. Speaking for my family, we've really enjoyed the chicken fingers, plant-based burgers and, of course, the smashburgers. We greatly appreciate their support.“

“These were the best chicken tenders I’ve ever had.

EDIT: I have returned to the unforgettable chicken tenders and tried them with a Nashville flavor rub this time. It’s even better. I feel so lucky to live close by 🤗“

“Great first experience. Love the smash style burger and toppings. A+.“

“I had to try it today before going back to FL delicious 😋.“

“Primetime Bar and Grill is an absolute gem. The burger is phenomenal—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—and the wings are just as impressive, packed with bold flavor and cooked exactly right. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere and the people. From the moment you walk in, they treat you like family, making you feel genuinely welcome and appreciated. Great food, great service, and a great vibe all around. Highly recommend Primetime Bar and Grill to anyone looking for an outstanding meal and an even better experience.“

“🔥 Highly Recommended! Flame On Peri Peri is hands down one of the best spots for flavorful, juicy peri peri chicken! The spice levels are just right, the portions are generous, and the service is fast and friendly. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or dining with family, this place never disappoints. Don’t miss the loaded fries and their signature sauces — 10/10!“

“The folks at this location are amazing, their customer service was great. As well as the food, best gluten free buns I have ever had. I was here on 2/13 around 3:50pm and the man who took my order was great, offered me water while I was waiting and my food was ready quickly.“

“been here a few times, each is better experience that the last, attempt to try most of their items on menu. So far, my favorite is their Mango smoothies with cloud cheese, as drink. Their cloud cheese is really good and a balance of salty taste with the sweetness of the mango, the tapioca in the drinks is plentiful but not overpowering the water content. I had it in other Chinatown restaurants, some had too many tapiocas that my teeth were tired chewing them. Cuckoo is not. Their Don (Japanese rice bowls) and their bibimbap (Korean rice bowls) are excellent. Have not decide which is better because each have their own uniqueness and tastes; I had 2 types of their bibimbap before and only 1 type of their Don. So far, I am leaning towards the Don but there is excellent amount of veggie in their Bibimbap, which is ideal for weigh concise person. Wish they have a loyal customer rewards style of drinks incentives, much like some restaurants, for example, buy 9 and get 1 free drink, or some % off after 5 drink purchases, and give customers an advertisable nice pocket size reward card to keep track of their purchases. That may also work with food item purchases as well. Crossing my fingers that this may happen soon. With summer in Chicago, cool refreshing drinks is ideal and as loyal customers, return for more drink purchases with rewards will be even better.“

“My family of four loved our meals! My Thai bowl was super tasty! Fast and friendly service too.“

“I got the combination plate, it was a lot of food and everything was 🔥 they also gave me a scoop of hummus to try which was also good“

“Great food! fast service for carryout!“

“This is my first time at this restaurant, and I was told it's good. So far, the Chicken Tender Lunch Special I ordered is great.“

“My friends and I, had breakfast here today and the service was awesome. I was seated quickly, and had many items, to choose from on their menu. The waiter was super nice and friendly and checked on us a few times to see if we needed anything. The ambiance was great, the food was fresh and a lot of it. I took my leftovers home. Thank you Dem and staff for a GREAT service. Take care“

“Good clean burgers that don’t leave you feeling dirty after eating them, with a great selection and great prices it’s satisfaction guaranteed.“

“Love this place! Such a great addition to Edgewater!“

“What a great lunch after a trip to the Botanic Garden! The double brisket burger was everything a previous review raved about. The mango habanero wings and sweet potato fries were also delightful. We sat outside to eat. Not sure where you would go on less nice days. This is a carry out place with self order on the Ipad.“

“Highly recommend! The new owners, Eric and Kathy, have done an amazing job with Gio’s! I recently started coming here and love it. The vibe is laid back, so welcoming and fun.

The staff is incredibly friendly, their burgers are great, and the drinks selection and service are on point. Exactly the kind of community bar Ravenswood needed. Looking forward to trying brunch and that guava French toast that everyone is talking about!“

“Hey my Chicago peeps you all have to go by SMASHBUGER at 4709 west foster and say HI to two of the greatest managers in town Mrs Genesis. And Mrs Dee Dee. For the freshest and I mean the freshest Smashburger this side of town tell them the BIG O SENT YOU ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😎 Guy’s“

“My experience with this restaurant was very good and wonderful. The people who work inside are clean and advise you on special things. There is also a wonderful taste in the food and it is very clean. Everything is halal here and the prices here are very good at the lowest prices. You can eat your meal for one person and you do not need to order anything else.“

“Best burgers in the area!“

“Fast and delicious as always 💯“

“My burger was fantastic and the onion rings are phenomenal“

“I recently ordered a 40 person catering order for my abuela’s birthday party. Prices were reasonable, communication was great, and everyone loved the food! Thank you so much for help make her birthday memorable! I’ve also eaten here and their back patio is so cute. Go check it out!“

“This restaurant is really outstanding and really great for the image of Evanston's southern end. The food is fantastic and I very much enjoy everything from the Bacon Temptation Omelette to the Spicy Poblano Omelette to the Crispy Chicken Sandwich to the Cowboy Burger. All of the food is fabulous and very well prepared, the variety is wonderful, and the coffee is always fresh. And above all, Ivan and the waitstaff provide customer service that's 'above and beyond' in every way. They're very kind, compassionate, efficient, and accomodating to everybody who comes into the establishment. Keep up the great work!“

“The food was incredible! Best ive had in a while. We got the mixed plater, it comes with rice grilled chicken and kabob. The chicken was very Juicy and the flavors were spot on. Also got some appetizers, the baba ganoush was so flavorful and very delicious. The service was outstanding! Highly recommend 10/10“

“1st time trying this place in Des Plaines and I must say that the bumper fries, bumper chicago style hotdog, chicken tenders with the honey mustard sauce which was great paired together and the bumper burger was all amazing 😋 👌 Definitely a must try🙌 I also like that it's all Halal meat so it's never frozen always fresh ❤️“

“The chicken kabob dinner is a must-try when really hungry, and the grilled chicken pita is a go-to for a quick meal!“

“Chi Tea is my absolute favorite spot near Loyola! Their taro boba is perfectly creamy, not too sweet, and the tapioca pearls are always fresh. I usually grab the Big Bird sandwich too—it’s huge, juicy, and filling enough to last me through classes. The staff is friendly and it’s such a nice break from the usual campus food.“

“I came for a drink but left impressed with the food.“

“Erin was our server and was awesome. The chicken sandwich I had was amazing. The Mexican corn side was also amazing. My father had a burger which was huge and he said delicious. I will definitely come back again.“

“delivery order alittle later but more importantly both pizzas were cold.Tasted ok but if hot would have been better. they should use pizza hot bags to keep food hot.“

“The best burgers, hotdogs and those fabulous fresh cut fries!“

“We wanted to eat here the night we checked in but it closed at 9 and it was about 8:40 when we were trying to find somewhere to eat so we ate here the next day for lunch. Ordered at the counter, got a number and went outside where we could watch the water traffic along the river. Burgers and fries were tasty and service was good as well. We sat here for what seemed like hours just visiting with our family members that had come in earlier that day. Definitely a convenient place to eat especially when staying at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk hotel.“
