“La mejor comida de todo lombard 🙂✌️“

“After a week of travel for this Mom, the last thing I wanted to do was to make dinner. This isn't the first time we've been to Glen Prairie and I knew it was just the place I wanted to go. The atmosphere is warm, but quiet. Perfect for a good family catchup. The food is comforting without being too heavy and the wine, beer and cocktail selection is the perfect pairing. We've had the pleasure of being served by Anna a few times now and she does a great job. She is attentive and watchful, without being overbearing which is a difficult skill to master for a lot of servers. Aside from that, I love that it is a safe place for folks with food allergies and I feel very well taken care of in respect to that issue. I can tell that everyone from the hosts to the servers to the bartenders to the kitchen staff are very well trained in creating a safe and welcoming experience for each guest. Glen Prairie is quickly becoming one of our go to family favorite restaurants and we will definitely be back!“

“Delicious! I always stop by whenever I’m in town.“

“The food was delicious! The drinks are fresh and new, and very well balanced. The best part of our experience was the staff! Each member was knowledgeable of the drink and dinner menu and made incredible recommendations. Overall, a wonderful evening out.“

“Simon’s Restaurant & Bakery in Villa Park greets you with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. I tried their Cream of Rice Soup, and wow—it was pure comfort in a bowl! Creamy, flavorful, and loaded with rice, it’s the perfect way to kick off your meal. For breakfast, I had the Spinach and Feta Omelette with crispy hashbrowns, and it did not disappoint. The omelette was fluffy, packed with fresh spinach and tangy feta cheese, and cooked to perfection. Paired with golden, crispy hashbrowns, it was an absolute treat! Simon’s is a neighborhood gem where you can count on great food, friendly service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or just a pastry from their bakery, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“Outstanding food. Phenomenal service. Adelle's is my go to!“

“Tony was a great server!“

“30 yr customer, will never see me again, ordered soup of the day chicken with a large pasta noodle, did not care for it at all, 75% broth in large container, expressed my disappointment to Kathy, did not offer apology or to make it right,“

“Picture of kid behind the bar on your website is not good. Great restaurant though!!!“

“Great food and super friendly staff“

“We had the best lunch. Our food was tasty and hot, not to mention generously delicious. No wait, great help. Open kitchen. I hope they open one further southwest.“

“Fantastic elevated food in a contemporary sunlit space with a water view. Well worth the drive for us. I started with the butternut squash and apple soup and a arugula salad with baked goat cheese, and my husband chose the creamy cauliflower soup and mixed green salad with currants and blueberries. The soups were both rich and flavorful. The salads were delayed in coming (perhaps because they had run out of arugula as my salad contained another leaf lettuce) but both salads were very good. The bread on the table was baked in house, also very good. We both had the hangar steak with whipped potatoes and sauteed spinach. Excelkent! We weren't asked how we wanted the steaks done but they arrived as we prefer them, medium with a warm pink center, with a charred crust and a slightly smoky flavor as if wood grilled. Perfect! A brownie sundae completed our meal. We will definitely be back.“

“Awesome food and drinks! But you have to sit in Katrina’s section. You won’t be disappointed. She’s knowledgeable, honest, and funny! Your experience will be better if she’s your server!“

“Tyler C was our server… he suggested their chicken tenders and they did not disappoint!! Absolutely amazing service and quality! Our food came out in minutes… it was hot and delicious!!“

“Best service ever, Suzanne was great!
She was attentive and made sure our drinks were filled and we liked our meals. Ana, the manager, came to check on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Atmosphere was great and food was awesome!!“

“This is one of the best family-run restaurants in Des Plaines. Sunrise Grill has been serving the community for 18 years, and you can taste the experience in every dish. Chef Jose cooks with passion, and Sylvia’s hospitality is unmatched. Ask the staff for their recommendations—they’ve never steered me wrong!“

The food was delicious, hot, fast, priced affordably. They have a large menu. We had some special diets in our group and there were enough options for them to find what they needed. I definitely would return and would recommend it to friends.“

“On a pleasant evening, we stopped by Chick n’ Fizz. We ordered boneless chicken wings, tater tots and sweet potato tots. They were all very delicious and satisfying to eat. Especially paired with the complementary sauce bar that we had a blast trying all the different kinds of flavors. Highly recommended. It was our first time here and we absolutely enjoyed it. The service is great to Cheri and David are very lovely. As well as, of course, the retro atmosphere is very cool. Will revisit again, awesome!“

“For over 25 years, J. Alexander’s has remained one of our favorite dining destinations. The rustic ambience, warm lighting, and unmistakable scent of wood-fired cooking create an experience that feels both comforting and refined.

The wood-fired artichokes are simply THE BEST. Their salmon and rotating fish specials are always beautifully prepared — especially paired with the orzo and wild rice side. The shaved prime rib sandwich with jus and horseradish is absolutely sublime.

And whatever you do… save room for the carrot cake. Unbelievably delicious. A true classic that continues to deliver year after year.“

“Wish I could give more than five stars, had the ribs and chicken my wife had the shrimp. We also had french Onion Soup. Everything was first rate the entire staff was first rate you can't go wrong eating at the restaurant. ps the cocktail were well made that was a extra plus, first there but we will back.“

“The best burgers around always!“

“Muy buenos cocineros y la mejor comida del mundo“

“We love this place, very good food and newspaper coupons are frequent. However, I’ve loved their chicken for years but something changed about 2 years ago. I think they may have switch cooking oil or something. Chicken is now bland and a little “off”“

“Horse trainer and falcon guy were very impressive. Hard to understand the medieval accent, but what can ya do. Don't go for the food, go for the show and atmosphere. Bring your voices! Use my coupon code for 15% off till the end of 2026: 15MT #sponsored #notreally #realcoupontho #sponsorme“
