I give this place 5⭐️

“It is so refreshing to meet an owner who is actively present in his restaurant. Mark Salmon enthusiastically and creatively arranged for my friend and I to dine outside (our request), despite the rain. We stayed dry under umbrellas and thanks to Sandra, our amazing waitress, we celebrated my birthday with fine food (impressive menu choices and food presentation) and great company! It was my first time dining at 501 Local and this restaurant met and exceeded my high standards in every way! It is a hidden gem and our new fav restaurant. Highly recommend!!“

“Great food, family friendly!“

“A must-visit for ice cream lovers! Great service, spotless space, and a fun atmosphere that turns a simple ice cream stop into a memorable experience. The décor is delightful, charming, and, whimsical. And, of course, the ice cream itself is divine — rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. Whether you go classic chocolate or try one of their inventive seasonal creations, you can taste the quality.“

“Had the bodega breakfast sando after a long bike ride. The brioche was nothing short of perfect and the whole thing was delicious. Definitely coming back multiple times. Staff was super friendly. and the place has a good atmosphere. This is one of those places that you're surprised it isn't packed.“

“Fantastic restaurant in the neighborhood serves excellent food and donuts and takes care of the neighborhood and the world. So grateful for their presence in Rogers Park. Also the peach spicy Sammy is to die for.“

“I drive 2 hours 1 way to get their treats! Celiac safe!“

“Macaron Bar is a delight! Oh my, the treats are spectacular. Try the pistachio, earl grey, dark chocolate, and coffee especially - absolutely delicious. The texture of the macaron is also stunningly perfect- so hard to achieve, yet they nail it. They are little works of art. We met Sam who works there and she was so sweet to me and my son. We will definitely be back!“

“OH! Are you in for a TREAT when you dine here. The food is sensational. We have traveled all of the world and lived all over the United States. The cuisine here is unique and out of this world. The recipes are unique to this restaurant. We have eaten at other Ethiopian restaurants. They do not even register next to this one. The Proprietor is SOOOOO nice. And, ask him what brought him to the United States. It's an emotionally moving story. If you haven't had Ethiopian cuisine before, it is NOT scary. There are hardy vegetarian and meatatarian dishes. So, there's something for everyone. And, the dishes that are spicy are mild. So, don't worry about your sensitive belly. The meal is a SHARED experience. So, make sure you bring friends. They will thank you afterwards for sure☺“

“Always loved their Greek pastries, they are the best, started going to them 60 yrs ago with my mom and dad. We were always going to Hellas for our parties baptisms and weddings. All our holiday needs were easily available for us. Unfortunately, we moved out to Poplar Grove, Illinois near Belvedere and have missed them greatly. Always love them and it brings a tears to my eyes, that they are still around. God bless them. My parents knew the owners personally.“

“Met for a brainstorming session…their coffee is a catalyst for sure! Great selection of healthy options with just enough sinful options to keep it balanced!“

We were able to try these at work, thanks to the absolutely wonderful donation of their products to help share with the community on Friday’s and for this we are so grateful and want to wish you good luck because the taste is wonderful!“

“My favorite coffee shop…EVER!!☕️❤️☕️❤️☕️“

“Had lunch there today and I have to say this is the first time I was disappointed with the service. The food was excellent but that's it. Asked for 2nd drink and never got it. Water was never refilled until we were through eating. When first ordering our wine we had problems. I will continue to eat here and hopefully this is a one time occurrence.“

“Ridman's is the best! I'm glad they're in my neighborhood!“

“That Little French Guy makes us happy every time we head that way. The Champs de Élysées doesn’t have better! It’s being back in Paris, every unique French delight. Thank you for our favorite place to visit often.“

“Amazing find! Worth the drive. Been wanting to find/try a vegan bakery. Had seen this store come up when searching for options. Today made the drive there. So worth it!!! Choc Chip scone is delicious; good texture, plenty of chips and excellent tasting. Also purchased cinnamon roll. After heating, just incredible! Frosting super delish, dough was great. Anxious to go back, would like to try cupcakes, empanadas and pie. Store is super cute!!! Also, the owner/manager was at an event, not at store today. However, family member there (Mom I think). What a sweet, kind, friendly professional “filler in”. Service is everything!“

“j'ai passé le meilleur moment ici. La nourriture était si bonne. J'y suis allé avec mes filles après le travail. Maintenant je vais dans ce café presque tous les jours ❤️“

“Nice service and polite, we were sitted right away“

“Los tamales y paches guatemaltecos son los mejores que he probado en Chicago, y las empanadas de pollo son una delicia 😋 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Hi, I’m trying to contact you since one week on FB Messenger and IG. Could you please check my message ? It’s related to franchises. Best. Simon C.“

“I am enjoying my most favorite chocolates for Valentine’s Day in New Mexico! My husband surprised me with a box and I am transported to my days living in Evanston right down the street from this amazing chocolatier.♥️“

“The food and wine were outstanding. The service was superb. We discovered new things on the menu that we hadn't tried before and the experience was wonderful. I eventually want to try everything on the menu; I have not been disappointed yet. This restaurant is a gem.“

“We love Cupitol at all hours of the day, but weekend brunch is the best. Food is top notch, service is fast, and Dylan makes our day.“

“Last Friday evening ( Oct 17, 2025 ) I came in with my 2 sons - we are regulars at the Glenview Yardhouse for years now - we are always treated so kindly , my sons and I Love The Atmosphere, The food is always just The Best - my sons are always asking me when are we driving back down to The Yardhouse in Glenview :)) The music selection is So Awesome also ! The server Matt took care of us last Friday and he was So Kind Always !!!!!!! My sons Love The Cheeseburgers and Hanging Bavarian Pretzels, the Calamari, the Mac and Cheese , the Orange chicken and Jasmine rice , the loaded pepperoni pizza and the desserts !!! We always leave with lots and lots of leftovers :))“

“Our family loved this tour!
We started with a walk-through of the cacao bean’s journey—from exotic farms to refined bars. There were hands-on displays and even a chance to try cacao beans ourselves. Tasting chocolate at different stages—raw nibs, partially processed, and then silky-smooth finished pieces—was eye opening.
Overall, the tour was well-paced, entertaining, and delicious. Whether you're a casual sweet tooth or a full-blown chocoholic, this tour delivers a decadent experience that's both educational and indulgent.“

“I had the German pancake and with 100% recommend if you don't want a lot then order the baby Dutch you won't regret it. I asked for strawberries with mine.“

“I ate an early lunch, so it was really quiet.The food was fantastic. Bacon Wrapped dates are tasty and had a sauce that really complemented the dish. The Chicken Lady Pizza was excellent. Caramelized onions definitely gave the flavor a pop. It was too early for me to drink, but I was impressed by their bar selection (especially Irish whiskey).“

“I was introduced to the Lombard location today for lunch while tending to some business and I must say that everything about my experience was great! I will definitely have to check out the Albany Park location being that I live in the Lakeview-Lincoln Park area; I gave everything about the establishment 20 stars 🌟“

“Everything here is incredibly delicious! I guarantee that anything you try you will love! ☺️ I have been getting my cakes from Gourmet Frog for over 15 years, and from my wedding day to just because I was having a bad day and needed a little treat, it's always a hit! I can't recommend froggies enough! (What I endearingly call them ?)“

“Atmosphere: I gave 4 stars, just because too many customers use the space for phone calls and Zoom meetings, creating excess noise.

Service: I gave 4 stars. The service is always efficient, which I appreciate. However, some of the baristas often bring their bad moods or negative attitudes about whatever to work with them, which makes them seem unfriendly, as if customers are a bother.

Otherwise, the coffee is delicious, and the pastries are excellent! (Much better than Starbucks!)“

“I ordered cake for my wife's 50th birthday party. We received so many compliments. The cake was delicious and a work of art. I also had some other desserts from there and they were amazing, too. The staff was also very nice. We highly recommend Delightful Pastries.“

“My Husband and I agree that there needs to be more restaurants like the Omega. We both grew up in the area, and felt quite not only nostalgic but at home while dining today. From the moment you walk in the door until you leave, you are surrounded by a soft ambient glow, dark wood paneling, beautiful hanging lamps above each table. Please do not get me started on their bakery items, bread so good you'd swear grandma was in there kitchen whipping it up by the batch load, a dessert/sweets case that could fulfill anyone's sweetest sweet tooth desires. I had to stop myself before I bought one of everything! My husband Had the Gyro Dinner and was in love with the homemade taziki/cucumber sauce, the meat was perfectly cut right off the spit, and homemade pita bread to top it off, plus it came with a very generous portion of house salad, and a bowl of soup. I was getting full just watching him. lol I tried the Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich, it was amazing, it had loads of melted Swiss cheese and a beautifully grilled chicken breast topped with pineapple(my favorite) all on a fresh baked ciabata roll. it was fantastic! Our waitress was very lovely, super attentive and extremely patient with us, being our first time dining there. Overall I would recommend that you give the Omega a chance, it's like stepping back in time to a simpler, better time, when the food was made with love, and it shows. Thank you for the lovely experience, if we are ever up that way again, we will surely stop.“

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

“We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the Lake Forest location when we were in town for our daughter's U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command graduation. By far the best place we ate when we were in the Chicagoland area. I gave it a nod in my book and encourage anyone visiting Great Lakes to stop there with their sailor during liberty.“

“God bless Egg Harbor Cafe and all personal, The best service“

“Cutest yummiest cookies… totally worth the visit“

“How crazy is this. Going to Sunset Foods I saw this sign in the window of a storefront to the West. Fortunately I found BRIGHT BOWLS owned and operated by a Highland Parker named Lindsay. I can’t describe the ambiance and wonderful products. You need to experience on your own. My favorite so far is the LoveABowl. Enjoy on site or to go. Get Bright Butter, Bright Granola and Bright Smiles. Tell the staff Larry sent you. Hmmmm“

“Excellent Ramen. Excellent bartender in Helen Try the Mango Tango Vegi Roll.“

“Ironically I ran into the owner during a Lyft ride and he was my driver. So two weeks later I try the food and it's out of this world. He specifically told me he uses the finest, freshest, high quality ingredients-which is apparent when you try the food. No seed oils here either! I would highly recommend this establishment and we will be back soon! Thanks again!“

“My parents and I were looking for a place eat in Northfield after driving an hour to pick up the ashes of our dog who passed two weeks ago from blood cancer. Found this place two minutes from the pet hospital located in an office building. Owner was super chill made our food fresh and was super generous. They had these cookies by the register I think the owners baked themselves they all looked really good we got one of each (pecan, cookies and cream, m&m, and this one with caramel on top) and the owner gave us two for free and chips with our meals and reheated my dad’s soup when asked (dad’s picky) to be super hot (dad was happy). We took our food to go and ate right outside the office building by this little fountain which I think is the way to go if the weather accommodates it. I got the chicken pesto panini I don’t even like pesto but I liked this panini the bread was crisp the cheese melty and the vegetables happy (not soggy). Honestly the cookies I enjoyed the most; cookies and cream was really good it had like these big chunks of white chocolate which were awesome but the best was the caramel one CRAZY GOOD definitely get one. Anyways I miss my dog love you Beowulf rest well now.“

“I love the place but friendly advice have a reservations“

“People who work here are super friendly!! Food is great and the coffee is amazing, better than I could expect! There were 8 of us and I'm very happy we made a reservation because the place was packed, which is a good sign. I think we found a real gem 💎 thank you guys!!“

“Friendly service and the cheesecake and desserts are rich and delicious 😋.“

“Great place! Great price! Best place to come in a city :)“

“Chef Devon and his team are phenomenal hosts. The meal prepared by Chef was a 5 star experience. I would highly recommend trying Loon if you haven’t yet.“

“All was amazing for our first visit.“

“WOW!!!
This was hands down one of the greatest breakfast experiences I’ve ever had at any restaurants.
If you’re fortunate enough to have Linda as your server, be prepared to tip at least 40% because SHE. IS. AWESOME!!!

Not only was the food absolutely incredible, it came out within 5 minutes of ordering.

Do yourself a favor and please dine here. Support this wonderful local restaurant.“
