“I have been in this restaurant for more than 4 times. I highly recommend it. There are a lot of parking. Once you come in; you are greeted with a warm greeting and and enthusiastic smule by the host or owner. The servers are very accommodating , friendly and helpful. They check on their customers for whatever they need until your meal is done. The busboys are hardworking and any requests will be granted right away. The food/dishes are cooked just the way you requests. Their steaks and eggs are up to par. The prices are decently priced. For what they serve you, good amounts of food. Well worth it. Freshness and presentations of foods are stupendous! Never did I have any complaints the way the place is ran. Very clean. Wide open. Eventhough i live far. I kept going back and i know when i leave, my tummy is full, content and some take home left overs. Check their menu. Check the big breakfast meal. You can't go wrong with their reasonable prices. Thank you so much, Elena and Miguel. Who still recognized me after all these months. Great customer service!! Clean kitchens and toilets too! That's how one can tell how the place is well taken cared-,of.”

“I tried the hot chocolate and it was really good. The temperature was perfect to enjoy right away. The service was also very good, and everyone was friendly and helpful.”

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The ambiance at Francesca’s Tavola is unmatched—classic, classy, and comfortable. The Pollo Arrosto Romana was divine—crisp skin, tender meat, and the rosemary lemon flavor was out of this world. Highly recommend!”

“Went here on a field trip with two busses worth of people, and all went smooth. Although we're were served a different menu due to the field trip, the food was still great, service members were kind and attentive, and the area was clean and inviting. Owner was bright and fun, and the staff were each wonderfully selected people. Definitely will come back to try the Greek selection!”

“Very good quality fish. great service”

“Great food and environment”

“Very good and tasty food. Friendly service. Loved the sweet and sour shrimp..”

“This is a very authentic Chinese Sichuan style restaurant in the area. The most important thing is that when all restaurants have increased their prices, they can still maintain the set meal for Chinese food for only $9.99, including soup and spring rolls! You will not find any Chinese restaurant in the surrounding area with this price and quality! One of my favorite restaurants, it is a great place for family gatherings or meeting with friends!

This is a Chinese Sichuan restaurant, so the main dishes are spicy. Customers who can't eat spicy food should consider it carefully, but many of their non-spicy dishes are also very good.”

“My daughter and I traveled from DC to Chicago for a cheerleading competition. We decided to try Porky's... I am not making this up, hands down the best BBQ I've had in years. The combo sandwich with brisket and pork, is phenomenal. The Porkys Beans with brisket, left me speechless. Outstanding customer service to go along with the great taste. Honestly wish I lived in the area, so I could eat here more often.”

“Went here for Thanksgiving brunch. The staff is so nice and the food was great. There was a T-Day menu to order from, or just off the everyday menu l. My party did both and everyone was happy”

“We went to Mago in Barrington last night for the first time and were blown away. They were very busy so we sat at the bar. Service was fast and friendly. Food was terrific and the menu features things you won’t find at your standard Mexican restaurant like three choices of mole. Tableside guacamole is absolutely lovely. I have to say, though, what made our experience was watching the magnificent bartender. His efficiency, speed, and obvious dedication to what he was doing was just a marvel. He never stopped moving! We will definitely be back as every aspect of our experience was very enjoyable.”

“Great atmosphere and food”

I’m super picky with cakes, but these ones completely win me over—it’s not just how pretty they look, it’s the taste and texture too. The mango shortcake and red velvet are our faves and absolute must-tries, and the Kahlua is seriously amazing as well! I love that they sell by the slice so you can sample different ones and discover your favorite.”

“Recently dined here . First plate my sister put food on and returned to the table had a bug. Showed the hostess who took the bug and said problem solved. Reached out to the manager who wasn’t concerned. Said that in some cultures that people eat bugs. Not funny. Contacted the corporate office and didn’t seem concerned. I will dine at other locations but not Arlington Heights location.”

“Limited menu but very avant-garde.”

“We were at the Bakester today and they were understaffed. Iliya was there working as hard as he could and was doing a great job. Through no fault of his own and under great pressure, he tried to get the job done to keep the restaurant moving. The food was great.”

“Best Greek food in the area!”

“We love The Palm Court, unfortunately they changed the Sunday Champagne Brunch...they no longer offer the mimosa or bloody Mary's. They also changed the food which now only includes the omelette station, salad, prime rib and desserts and pastries. They removed the potatoes, bacon, and sausage. Though the price was changed - I'd rather pay the higher price and have that include the other food options. Though we still love Palm Court- maybe not for brunch.”

“So far I’ve eaten at Vasco’s twice with my coworker. The food is delicious. It is perfectly spiced, chicken is cooked to perfection and not dry. The garlic sauce is very tasty. It is very clean. The people working there are extremely nice and helpful. My coworker doesn’t know much about Indian food so she had a lot of questions. They were patient and answered all of the. The owner came to our table both times we were there to ask how things were. It is a place that you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. We are already planning our next visit.”

“I love Portillo's. But this location cannot get drive-thru orders correctly. They consistently order the wrong number of items, or the toppings that we ask for. We've had to call in literally the last 5 times we've been there telling them they missed something, charged us for things we didn't get, or because we were given other people's orders. Clean it up Portillo's. It's not that hard serving hot dogs.”

“The food was wonderful and the service was fantastic!”

FYI, no drink refills if you dine in.”

“Staff was friendly and kept the place clean. We experienced great service and food. All around an excellent time. If you like root beer floats try the butter beer.”
