“As always our meal was great and the service exemplary. Thomas was our waiter and he is great at explaining the specials and helping us choose the perfect wine. My only complaint about Region is that is is not bigger and thus hard to get into for a spontaneous meal.“

“Very good seasonal food. Had great shrimp and grits. Went on mothers day and food was still coming out on time with a fully packed house. A little noisy and a lack of available parking, but probably due to holiday. Would definitely go again; cute three dollar desserts were a fun ending.Dietary restrictions: Gf menu available.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“

“My favorite place for wine tasting and lunch is so good and tasty“

“It's been awhile since I've been in the area. Had to stop out. Layout is the same. The place remains under the same owner as far back as I can remember. Staff is very friendly. The food is delivered quickly, the portions are above average in size, and they even do stuff like serve full pickle spears instead of cheap thin slices. Overall a solid entry into a pretty competitive market (Lake Zurich). I'll be back soon.“

“JAMES HYDRICK recently brought my fiancee back to my life, after we have been composed for 9years. We have stayed living favorably without any delinquent. I always converse about matrimony with her but she replies me with, And promise me that we will soon get married. I was shock on a faithful day when she called me and told me that she is no longer interested in the relationship, because she met another guy, and they were almost getting married. I was stunned and dizzy after hearing that from her. I was so drained and tried to get back to myself because deprived of her it was dreadful because I truly love her with the whole of my emotion. Until I was fixed up to JAMES HYDRICK whose email is (divine.spells@yahoo. com) I communicated with him and he guaranteed me that my wish will be settled unto me after 48 hours, and he told me to count on his words, and he gave me every purpose why I have not to worry any longer. So that was how James came into my marital life and fetched my girlfriend back to me after 48 hours as James hyrick guaranteed me, and now here I am affirming of his virtorious works. And he also cast money spell for me that really well-ordered out for me. So I will recommend you to contact him once you are in need of magic spell. he is sincere and real to help you out.. (divine.spells@ yahoo. com)“

“Great food and atmosphere!! Would go again .“

“Huge wine list spread across many varietals. The shrimp and scallops entree changes seasonally and is always inventive and delicious. Beautiful charcuterie boards, fun ambiance whether sitting at the bar or a cozy table. Staff incredibly knowledgeable to help you choose a wine if you're having trouble deciding.“

“Throw away your low expectations of "Bar Food" because this place has the BEST Food! Creative ideas that really pay off. Add in the fun bar activities like Karaoke and of course bowling and you have a great evening out. Bar Down and Popular Creek Bowl provides an exceptional and memorable night out. It's a place where you can enjoy top-notch bowling, belt out your favorite tunes during karaoke, and indulge in gourmet-quality food and drinks. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I'll definitely be returning for another night of fun at this amazing establishment.“

“04/04/2024After my son's Navy Boot Camp graduation, he expressed to me and his dad that he was in need of a fat, juicy, and delicious hamburger with some SWINE on it, lol. He stated that he was tired of the military food that he had to endure during basic training. I found this restaurant on Yelp and I'm so glad that I did.Upon entering this establishment, we were greeted by one of the friendliest hostesses that I've ever encountered. She asked if we preferred a table or a booth and I was happy that she gave us the choice on where we would like to be seated. She handed us the menus and told us to enjoy our visit. Next, our server came over and introduced herself as Angelica. She was also friendly and welcoming. Angelica exercised great customer service skills and professionalism.Moreover, for our drinks, my son ordered a lemonade, hubby ordered an Arnold Palmer, and I ordered a White Sangria cocktail and a Golden Honey Margarita on the rocks with salt on the rim. We all enjoyed our drinks, especially me, lol. The White Sangria was refreshing and bubbly. I think I liked it more that the Golden Honey Margarita, which was also tasty.As for our food, we started out with some appetizers while we browsed the menu. We started off with the spicy shrimp and the crab fondue. Although they were not spicy at all, I absolutely loved the spicy shrimp appetizer! They were flavorful and fried to perfection with a nice crunch to them and drizzled with a red sauce. The crab fondue tasted amazing and would have tasted even better if I did not have to play tug-of-war with the toasted bread that it was accompanied by. That bread was so darn hard that I felt like I was going to pull my teeth out from all the pulling and tugging, which discouraged me from fully enjoying this appetizer. I let my son and my husband have at the crab fondue while I stuck with the spicy shrimp, lol. My son was so hungry for some food other than military food that he didn't seem to notice how hard the bread was. He and my husband devoured every bit of it, lol.Now for our main entrees, my son knew right away which burger he wanted as he looked at the menu. Remember he stated he wanted a burger with some SWINE on it? Well, there was a Bacon Cheese Burger sitting on the menu with his name written all over it. My husband is a burger lover as well, but chose a burger without the swine, the City Works Burger. I ordered something a little on the healthier side, pan seared salmon accompanied by a mixture of vegetables which included butternut squash, Brussel sprouts, tomatoes, and corn. We all enjoyed our food to the upmost. Everything was absolutely delicious! My son said that his bacon cheeseburger was soooo good and that the bacon was nice and crispy. My husband said that his burger was divine. They were both so fat-full by the end of our son's celebration meal and were sitting slumped over in their seats, lol. The salmon on my entree was cooked to perfection, possessing a moist and flaky interior with a juicy and tender texture. The vegetables were as equally as delicious as the salmon.Overall, City Works is a lively establishment with a vibrant and energetic ambiance that serves great tasting modern American cuisine. It is centered in the Mellody Farm Shopping Complex of Milwaukee Ave. in Vernon Hills. They are fully equipped with several large HDTV's which is great for sports fans and such. Customer service is amazing. I highly recommend them for anyone who is from out of town visiting the Chicago area. You will definitely find delicious and excellent quality food here! Thanks for making my son's graduation celebration dinner an awesome dining experience. We felt right at home! It was as if we never left Houston.“

“Great food and Bartenders are awesome!“

“WOW-ZAH! The Blue Heron Cafe!!have been craving a good burger - for weeks. So I decided to try a place nearby with a great word-of-mouth following & reputation.WHAT A FIND ( ok, NEW= To Me)This was the most amazing Char grilled-hand made Burger I've had in YEARS!! All topped with sweet grilled onions & the freshest butter lettuce, ripe juicy tomatoes, & BBQ sauce (on the side)......this level of burger was totally unexpected! I got a lovely fresh salad on the side- Yum!The Blue Heron Cafe = is WAY more than a local sports bar! ☆☆☆☆☆ Cheers to the Chef! And to your sweet bartenders!“

“Finally tried out Southern Kitchen! DELICIOUS! DELICIOUS! DELICIOUS! From the perfect sized kids menu options, to the delicious biscuits and gravy, perfectly made hash browns, decadent cinnamon and sugar donuts, fruit smoothies and refreshing iced espresso- not one detail was missed! Check them out!!!!“

“At Bungalow Joe’s, not everyone knows,a bartender named Megan, can serve you beer heaven, whether Guinness or Old Style, with her spectacular smile, she’ll make you glad you stopped in, and make you want to come back again. (I promised her a poem, so I wrote one when I got home.) ;-)“

“This place is on my list of top 5 favorite dive bars. When you walk in there's a room to the right that has pool tables, darts and giant checkers! Then just when I thought it couldn't get any better. A band started jamming and they sounded incredible! The glass wall in between us created the perfect amount of sound. We ordered pizza and it was hot and delicious. Our bartenders were friendly and attentive.“

“What a Hidden gem! Can’t believe we haven’t eaten here before - phenomenal food, and a large menu with lots to choose from. We enjoyed toasted ravioli, grilled chicken Caesar salad, French dip (filet!) sandwich with ridiculously delicious fries, and Greek chicken that fell off the bone ❤️ 100% recommend.“

“Stopped by to have lunch, the varieties from the menu make your mouth get watery. They have different selections in burgers, hotdogs, different kinds of chilly cheese nachos, different kinds of breakfast choices and the pricing is average as any other place. The food is so good and tasty. Personally, I have found a new spot, delicious.“

“We came here for breakfast and we will definitely be back. The bartender - who was also our server - was friendly, efficient and attentive.My husband ordered the corned beef hash bowl and I ordered the Southern Benedict. The bowl had corned beef hash, breakfast potatoes, cheese and eggs, and a side of toast. The Southern Benedict was an english muffin topped with bacon, perfectly poached eggs and sausage gravy, with a side of breakfast potatoes.Everything was cooked to perfection, seasoned well, and right-off-the-griddle hot. Plus, the prices were quite reasonable.We will return to try some of the other dishes on the menu, and I would urge everyone else to do the same.“

“We had a very nice dinner here with a party of 7. Food was great, our server was excellent. The only thing that we would have changed would be more lighting in the area that we were dining in. Some areas had adequate lighting, but it was difficult for us to read the menus at our table.“

“Great food, great and friendly service!“

“We can always count on Jimmy's Restaurant for a wholesome meal. Friendly staff and excellent value. All-day breakfast, delicious coffee, hearty soup, fresh salad and home-style dinners. Always generous and accommodating.“

“Friendly, Cozy, old fashioned family diner, breakfast , Lunch + diner… hard to find restaurants like this !! Good FOOD !!!“

“I am so grateful for such great service here! I have my go-to’s but I’ve gotten to try sandwiches, soup, pasta, salads, cookies, and everything has always been super tasty! Because of that, I have started getting food to-go from here whenever I can. Be it through DD or in person ordering, they get it right EVERY time which sadly can’t be said very often anymore. Everyone is super helpful and courteous too. Only great things to say all around and I hope you guys keep up the great work you’re doing! :)“

“Went in to grab a carry out order to take to my hotel room. Very cool ambiance! The waiter who took my order was kind and helpful. The hot bread & butter was so good. The French onion soup was delicious as was the angel hair caprese. Great experience.“

“The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious, but the brisket on the cheese sandwiches was a bit dry.Even so, the sandwich creation was genius. The Brussels sprouts were amazing.The pana cotta was not very good and the waiter had the chef visit our table. He took the critique seriously, which was very nice.“

“Solid breakfast that uses pretty nice ingredients from bread to eggs to bacon. Coffee is best I've had at an airport. It's $4 but you get a refill and they give you real half & half. Service is pretty good. My guy was hit and miss. The location is good as you can generally look out the windows while eating. I considered the Cubs Restaurant before I passed on it. That place was dark and too sports-y and not very inviting. This will be my go-to breakfast when I go through ORD from now on. Prices are insane of course but this place is not any more expensive than any other sit-down.“

“Food was good large variaty - wich is good for those who have hard time to choose - the prices were fair - prices on drinks are little bit high - service was very good and the atmosphere of the place as well - for those reasons I recommend it“
