Restaurants in Elgin

“Always a pleasant experience at gyromania. Staff is always on point. Kinda, sweet. Patient, all smiles. Such a friendly environment. And the food is always so fresh! I tend to get the same thing EVERYTIME a platter with rice and Greek salad but I need to try other stuff but I love my usual so much it’s hard to switch up. Next time I’ll figure out something new to try :-) thanks for being so awesome gyromania!! Elgin!”

“My husband and I ate here and this place is better than any place we have tried in Camden and Lugoff …… Most of those other places have “slipped” with food and service in the last year… This place is great!!!!!!). We be our go to Mexican restaurant!!!!!”

“Yesterday was my first time going to this location. I’ve been to other San Jose’s before, but this one is definitely my favorite. Our waitress, Balu, was awesome! My boyfriend and I were very pleased with the overall service, and the Very Berry drinks were so good. The atmosphere was also very pleasant and welcoming. We left happy, full, and satisfied 😆💫🫶❤️”

“Excellent food, great customer service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“If you're looking for a place that cooks BBQ food, Ronnie's Ribs is the best. Delicious, reasonably priced, and with excellent service. Thursdays offer a 20% military discount. If you live in Elgin, definitely go and try it; it's worth it.”

“Treated my staff to brunch (ordered to go) a couple of weeks ago and the food was so delicious I thought, WOW, if it’s this good on takeout, it has to be amazing if I dined in. Well, they did not disappoint. I arrived and they were packed! I was told the wait would be 40-45 minutes, so I reluctantly added my name to the list and went to wait in my vehicle. I was pleasantly surprised after approximately 25 minutes when I received a notification that my table was ready. All I can say is it was worth the wait and I’m giving a score of 10/10! This will be added to my repertoire of places to dine once a month.”

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and a great time was enjoyed by us all! This is now our Go-To spot!! We highly recommend giving it a try if you haven’t!”

“If you want a GREAT snowball… go visit them❣️”

“So glad I found this hidden gem in Elgin. Had the fried flounder last Saturday and it was delicious! Will definitely be back!”

“I used to boil my own peanuts. Now I just make a weekly trip here. The jumbos fill the entire inside of the shell incredible flavor. The Cajuns and regular salted are incredible. I haven't tried the Hawaiian flavor yet. You won't regret the stop.”

“We love Pontiac! The food is always great. It’s also the little things. My dog loves when a place has a drive through, which they do, and all she wants is them to say hi to her. They are always so sweet to her when we hit the drive through!”

“Best meat lovers pizza and kids friendly”

“we have karaoke on Thursday it's such a great place to hang out I work there and I go there on my days off everyone makes the newest people feel so welcome, I actually just got here October 20th 2020 and started working here the end of April, I love the atmosphere, the people and everything that goes on. we also have three pool tables dart board and the friendliest bartenders in town.”

“I've enjoyed Hunt Bros. for over 20 years. The slices are a great after work snack and on a "we just want the whole thing" night, one phone call is all. Our local Marathon ladies make them less than a mile from our house !”

“This restaurant is actually very good. The people complaining about the food taking a good bit to come out literally don't know anything. These are FRESH made dishes, a little bit more completed dishes, traditional dishes. That absolutely take a while to be made. Look up how to make a Pollo con Tajadas and see how long it'll take you, or how long it takes to make an empanada. Obviously it's going to take time. Even though it's not a fully English speaking place, they still try their hardest to understand and communicate with you about your meal. Yes there isn't as much room, but they still make it work. When I have gone in they have tried their hardest to help me get a dish I want, while clearly I also have to comprehend the language barrier and try myself to communicate with them too, even if it's with a translator. Anyways, I recommend trying the Baleadas and Pollo con tajadas.”

“I have to admit that it was the best Pork Fried Rice I have ever had in my life. You cannot find any good Fried Rice anywhere within 60 miles of me so if you're looking for some good food then this is the place to get it.
