“Tonight we dined at Don Quijote for the first time. We had read several reviews saying the place was great and the food was awesome. It was everything the reviews stated! We went over the top too. Cafe Capuccino to start, Jamon Serrano appetizer, tapas combo platter dinner, the red fish special, flan for dessert with coffee. The couple we dined with was equally pleased and will be back, as will we.”

“We couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to host our wedding afterparty than Figs and Fables. It has always been one of our favorite spots, so getting to celebrate such a special night there made it all the more meaningful. From the moment we arrived, everything felt elevated and seamless. The food was, as always, absolutely incredible, and the atmosphere struck the perfect balance of lively and intimate—exactly what we hoped for to close out our wedding day. Our guests had the best time, and so many commented on how unique and special the experience was. The team at Figs and Fables truly made us feel celebrated and taken care of. It meant so much to us to share a place we love so much with the people we love most on such an important day. We’ll always have the best memories here—thank you for making our afterparty unforgettable!”

“We visited last night for the first time. Let’s just say we had a fantastic time. The waitress went above and beyond to make it a wonderful experience. She was very pleasant and welcoming. The food was fantastic. Sushi was amazing and our main dishes were delightful. We couldn’t believe the size of the menu. Something for everyone! We were given tea to try which was tasty and then given the same to take home. Just because she wanted to. We had a family member with a birthday and they came out singing with a drum and a special desert. She also came out as we were paying with more food to take home and try. She went above and beyond. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great night!”

“Crumbl Cookies has quickly become one of my favorite dessert places, and for good reason. The first thing that stands out is the variety. Instead of offering the same flavors year-round, Crumbl rotates its menu every week, which makes every visit feel exciting. There is always something new to try, whether it’s a classic chocolate chip cookie, a rich brownie-inspired flavor, or a creative cookie based on a popular dessert.

The cookies themselves are huge and thick, making them perfect for sharing with friends or family. They are usually soft in the center with a slightly crisp edge, creating a texture that feels fresh and homemade. The toppings and decorations are also impressive. Many cookies are covered with frosting, candy pieces, fruit, or other ingredients that make them look almost too good to eat.

Another thing I enjoy about Crumbl is the presentation. The pink box has become iconic, and opening it feels like unboxing a gift. The cookies are arranged neatly and look exactly like the photos advertised online. The stores are typically clean and modern, and watching employees prepare cookies through the open kitchen adds to the experience.

However, Crumbl is not perfect. One downside is the price. The cookies are more expensive than what you would find at most bakeries or grocery stores. While the large size helps justify the cost, it can still be difficult to spend several dollars on a single cookie. Some flavors can also be extremely sweet, sometimes overpowering the actual cookie flavor. If you do not enjoy rich desserts, certain cookies may feel too sugary.

Despite these drawbacks, Crumbl delivers a fun and unique dessert experience. The constantly changing menu keeps customers interested, the cookies are high quality, and the presentation makes each purchase feel special. While it may not be an everyday treat due to the price and sweetness level, Crumbl is definitely worth trying for anyone who enjoys cookies and wants to experience creative dessert flavors. Overall, I would rate Crumbl Cookies 4.5 out of 5 stars for its variety, quality, and ability to make dessert feel exciting.”

“Had wrote a review a few days ago regarding a coupon not being utilized for a 50% off. I just deleted the review on accident but wanted to update to anyone who had read that. A manager contacted me and apologized for the mistake that had been made. The young man that had taken the order was fairly new and has now been educated on how to process that particular type of coupon. Managment was extremely apologetic and quick to recover and make me feel much better about the situation. They offered a credit for the WHOLE pizza!!! We well absolutely order from Rosati‘s again as that is our favorite pizza and the closest to Chicago as we can get in pizza.”

My husbands uncle loves the poor man steak & he never likes anything lol 10/10 👌 I'm not a big fan of the Italian beef tho the meat is weird looking\feeling/tasting & the Sandwich was dry. The coleslaw also not a fan it's definitely different it's got a VERY VERY creamy like sause to it. My whole family looks the gyros 100\10. Best around. Inside the place is also very old set but it is cleaned from what we can see anyways. The lady at the counter that takes your order is the absolute SWEETEST so nice,patient, & always so helpful.”

When it snows they never shovel the sidewalk that runs parallel to LaPorte Avenue. This is annoying and dangerous. It’s a tiny strip of walk between two businesses to the east and 1st Source Bank to the west, all of which keep their sidewalks cleared of ice and snow. I suggest and hope that for the safety of pedestrians Culver’s management addresses this potentially serious issue. Thank you.”

The beautiful young girl at the window was the sweetest person ever and easily had conversation with me. she ended up telling me that she had a free mess up drink for me.

“Mostly good food with a couple minor issues on how well it was cooked. Very friendly and didn't wait long for a table or service or the food. The value though was excellent. A large portion for a really good price.”

“Had lunch here and the burger and chicken sandwich was phenomenal the mozzarella twists could've been stringer with the cheese but that's my preference and our server she was beyond great and very attentive with everything”

“My daughter and I wanted to eat out and we chose to go to the Noodle Bowl and the experience was perfect. First we were greeted by Ronald who shared about different items on the menu and also answered all my questions. Victor (another employee) shared detailed descriptions about the food to my 8 year old daughter. Amaria (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) brought our food out to us, complemented us and was very kind. Each person had a smile, great attitude and you could tell they liked their job and they liked being here and they truly wanted to make myself and my daughter feel appreciated. This place is very clean, the environment was perfect with great music playing and good energy! The food was delicious, I got the Japanese Pan with grilled chicken and my daughter got a custom fettuccine noodle bowl with chicken and amazing sauce. The price was fair and the food was very healthy and fresh, very hot that’s when it tastes the best. To finish it off we got snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookies! Thanks for making our experience great!!”
