“It’s literally the best thing in Kenosha.“

The food is of quality, prices are affordable. 10-20 $,the over all experience was wonderful. Please give them a try,you won't be disappointed.“

“Chef mark straight up killed it! My wife got the birria bagel, and I got the candied omelet. And it was fantastic!!! Highly reccomend going for brunch, and or dinner.“

“We had a group of 4 all ordered different stuffed burgers. All were delicious and big, with plenty of toppings. Also enormous amount of fries and onion rings. Two ordered non-alcoholic lemonades they both ordered another. Beer selection was good. As newbies the bartender/server was very informative, friendly and even asked us if there was any sporting event she could turn on for us. Yes, game four of the Stanley Cup was starting. So burgers, beers and hockey. Look forward to returning when back in Kenosha.“

“Amazing food and service! Must try!“

“This place is so cute and I love the retro 80s aesthetic. Our waitress, Pat, was so sweet. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. We ordered the Special Club breakfast with the French toast and it reminded me of grandma’s cooking. We were going to eat at Frank’s Diner but they were closed so I’m so glad we tried this restaurant. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Place is an oxymoron. We had the most incredible filets- cut like butter. One medium and the other medium rare, just as we ordered. Then the desert came. Tacky costco brand individual terimisu. I wouldn’t recommend any of their desserts, ever. I’ve tried them all over the years. Aside from desserts, every plate is wonderful. Fall menu came out last week- my dog and I are really missing the smoked pork chop. Pet friendly patio with cover from the elements.“

“If you need a place to wind down with good friends, look no further.

Classy and friendly at the same time.

If available, would recommend Mondays where they offer comedy, so not only do you get a classy meal but fun entertainment“

“We just went here for lunch while up in Kenosha for the day and everything was OUTSTANDING. We loved the environment. Everyone was so friendly. They have a patio where you can bring your dog. I had the cheeseburger quesadilla appetizer and it was so good. I'm not usually a chipotle person but it was just the right amount of heat. My fiancé and I shared the loaded fries and they were also good. But the star of the show was the corned beef tacos. They were so fresh and delicious. The corned beef is so tender and flavorful. I took a chocolate cake slice to go and can't wait to try that when I'm not so stuffed. We will definitely be back! My fiancé said he wishes he could go back for dinner tonight!“

“We went to Kenosha’s Mission BBQ. I was extremely pleased with the quality of service from the minute we walked in. We were greeted by Alex as if we were old friends. I need to add that I had never met this young man before walking in the door. I have dietary restrictions. He helped me place my order, provided nutrition lists and helped to make sure everything I ordered matched my needs. I have never had any restaurant help me with such sincerity before. We were also helped by a second employee to make sure the elderly person with us had the best seat for her needs. She later stopped back to see how everything else was. In addition, Alex stopped back to see if I was happy with the food choices he helped me choose. We were again surprised when Alex stopped back yet again with a special dessert treat and helped me to determine how much of it I could safely eat. I can only say “Wow!” I will certainly go back here again and if I had the ability I’d give Alex a raise! We were made to feel as if we mattered not just as customers but as people. I wish more places had employees Thank you Alex! If this is how Mission BBQ provides service more companies could learn from them and from Alex.“

“very good place for family and friends“

“Fantastic restaurant, great food, great service, great prices. Thank you to all at Hillcrest Family Restaurant“

“We had chicken wings and pizza. Both were cooked amazingly. Wings well done and not rubbery. Pizza is extra thin and great flavor. The service was also great. Definitely coming back.“

“First time visiting and very impressed. Owner stopped and talked to us very pleasant. Clean establishment and very friendly employees! We happened to stop after a first of the month breakfast at 12 and you could tell they were very busy and lunch wasn't until 1:00 but still managed to get us an appetizer and very pleased.“

“DELICIOUS! You have to try the Bandeja Paisa“

“Wonderful!!! Very good food! First time trying today! 😋“

“Great service, friendly staff“

“They have Parking for semi truck drivers. we need more Culvers that are trucker friendly“

“I love love the food, the that ducks, when you order extras, like extra days or jalapenos and u know u are paying extra, then they are not in the bag after asking cashier also.suvks no salsa at home Iland that wouldve made the food perfect. I wouldn't say anything if it was a rare thing that happened, but it's not.“

“Great little bar with classic beers…HAMMS BABY..!!!!!“

“UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT!!!! this place is FIRE!!!! we live on the northside, and we'll definitely be back!!!!“

“This place has the BEST burger I have ever eaten. If you are in the Kenosha area go in there and order the 2 by 2 with bacon burger. You WILL NOT regret it... #bestburgerever“

“great food. I've had the chicken sandwich, and the baked fish. highly recommend stopping in for some outstanding food. drinks are very reasonably priced. The place is under new management. The owners are really nice“

“Friday fish fry...we had the 2 pc fried cod. Best tasting, perfectly cooked, huge fillets. Take your choice of two or three piece dinner, or one piece ala cart. Walley, perch, shrimp...great selection. Come early to sit outside on a warm summer night.“

“We have had many meals here since Argon’s took over the kitchen, and have been amazed how fantastic every meal has been . The fish fry with fresh made Cole slaw and tarter. Crispy large portions of cod, so good. The Mexican menus so super good as well. And the Best scenery in town.“

“Great food and service! The eggplant Parmesan was awesome!“

“Great atmosphere, and delicious food. The best old fashions I've had. We will be back!“

“Came in Christmas Eve for some dinner and drinks, we were treated with the amazing service of the new owner and his son. Absolutely incredible! We had the honor of sampling the Indian food they were making (I couldn’t help but ask because it smelled so good) after trying it, I am looking forward to coming back and these items hopefully being on the menu! The flavors we experienced is what all residents of Wisconsin/Illinois need!“

“Good food as always... Glad y'all stayed the course & didn't do the Bud Light! -Still haven't had a Bud since Dylan did you know...“

“Last night me and my Fiancé went to the restaurant for dinner. The service was amazing for being busy. Our waitress was making we had everything we needed as well as other waitresses were checking on us as well. It made for a great dinner all around. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The service is excellent.“

“Absolutely love this restaurant! Excellent service, quality food, clean, friendly, large portions! Family owned and operated. When you walk in, you are treated like family! 5 stars all the way!“

“Spent our NYE here.
Bartender was amazing.
Great casual place.
The other patrons were also the sweetest.
If you're looking for a chill place to hang with friendly people- this is a good spot.
If I'm ever up in Kenosha again, I'll be making a stop by 🥰“

“Right off the water, so the views are scenic. It's not off the beach, but you still see the marina. Very lovely atmosphere.
The waitress was very attentive and got to us quickly even though the outdoor seating area was full and lively.
The drinks were strong, but I can't say they taste the best.
We got the lighthouse chicken Piccata, a side of Sweet Potato Fries, and a combo fish and chips
The beer battered shrimp were DELICIOUS!
I was not the biggest fan of the lighthouse chicken piccata, but it came with a side of either soup or salad plus a side of seasonal veggies. The broccolini was amazing. Very flavorful but not over- cooked.
I would highly recommend this place if you come to visit!“

“Always look forward In seeing Leslie. Sadly today she wasn’t on the schedule. Not certain who our bartender was since she didn’t seem happy to be working. Asked us what we wanted for lunch, repeated it back to us, then never heard another word from her except for her conversation with her friend who stopped in to chat. After getting her attention to pay our bill she ran our card, placed the receipt on the bar, and continued chatting with her friend. Bar staff 101: welcome your guests, ask how their food and drinks are (beer was flat BTW) and most importantly, thank them before they leave. We’ll return another day but not when she’s on the schedule.“

“yes I do recommend people“

“Amazing flavor. Dickey’s is legit smoked meat and delicious sides. Love their fried okra and the new brisket chili. Smoked kielbasa and pulled chicken are far and away better than “fast food.” Friendly service is a plus too. Bottom line, if you’re looking for real food that’s not the same old thing, it’s time you duck into Dickey’s.“

“This was a Sunday afternoon visit
May be the slow time and day for a far review
But was ok
Server took some time to show up at our table but attentive afterwards,
Food was ok ..
My only concern was with the steak,
The cook doesn’t know how to use the grill ….
That feeling of gas flame flavor on my steak was awful and just decided to eat something else…“

“Food was delicious. Sat at the bar area. Brandi did an outstanding job checked to see if needed anything.“

“This Culver’s is very well managed and the cashiers are super polite. The assistant manager duty today was very kind and understanding on when my sister spilled her drink. His friendly attitude really captured the friendly and hospitable spirit that Culver’s is all about. The food also slaps so there’s another reason to eat at this restaurant.“

“Ubaldo T was our waiter and he was incredibly helpful and polite. I also witnessed a few larger parties come in and out in no time and he managed the whole section without missing a beat. This was our first time at this IHOP location and we’ve already decided that this is going to our go to moving forward because of his service.“
