Restaurants in Arlington Heights

“Absolute gem! Exceptional service, unique ambiance, and outstanding food. If in the Schaumburg/Arlington Heights area or anywhere west of Chicago, add it to your foodie place now!”

“Big Lou’s loves Big Ange’s Eatery! Great vibe! Friendly and courteous service. Excellent food! I personally had the Reuben. Owner Rokko stopped by our table and introduced himself. We talked about naming our businesses after our parents, Big Lou and Big Ange! Ended our lunch with their homemade ice cream which was smooth, creamy and very tasty! Will definitely be back for more when the crew is on the road.”

“We just had dinner at the bar area & the food and service were FABULOUS!!! Shout out to Kenny the bartender & our waiter. Sooo welcoming & kind. You shoukd come & enjoy a great experience!”

“Hands down one of the best restaurants I've been to. A beautiful place with a great vibe. They have a bar in the main dining area which is great if you're looking to hangout after dinner. The staff was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was so friendly and fun! Every dish we had was SPECTACULAR!!!. We ordered about 8 dishes and every single one was delicous. You can tell they use high quality products/ingredients. Lastly, the price we paid for this 10 STAR experience was too low in my opinion. I would easily pay triple the amount for this place. We'll be going back very soon. Maybe this weekend! ;) 10 STARS for Bar Salotto!!!”

“Amazing. It's probably the only place that has sanitizers around 3, paper towels, napkins. The service is great. We didn't know what exactly to order so the guy gave as one tamales for free just to try it. :) He was very kind and patient since we wasted a lot of his time with questions Very good place! Highly recommend it :)”

“Kind and caring couple that owns this small coffee and tea shop. They have bubble tea as well as coffee's and teas. Always willing to adapt your drink just the way you like it. And they are still serving carry out during this difficult time with a smile and positive attitude. Thanks Chris for being there!”

“Popcorn chicken with red pepper flakes was flavorful, crisp, and juicy! They also have extra pepper flakes in a little cup to go. I ordered the oolong milk tea with boba which was also delicious. Tea was freshly brewed. Highly recommend to check this place out. Honest and friendly business owners serving delicious food/drinks with quality ingredients. Thank you, Tugo Tea House!”

“Awesome place. I'm obsessed with Asian soups, travelling all over the country and trying soups and ramens. This is simply awesome. No way I'll eat anywhere else if I'm going for soup.”

“We enjoyed our breakfast at this friendly, cozy diner with pleasant decor. Offers great seating, views, large portions of food and plenty of coffee refills, all served with a smile.Prices are reasonable compared to other diners/cafes in the area.”

“highly recommend!!! delicious & healthy they deliver or you can pick up if you don't need a whole weeks worth, you can stop by to grab a lunch for just that day.”

“the place is busy, but it's big enough that the wait isn't long at all. The food is good, service is decent. Pricing is in line with most others.. definitely not the most expensive. Parking is a bit tough if you want to be close. but you can find spots since it's in a strip ”

“This place isn't very big, but the flavor of the food is! I normally post a picture of what I get. Unfortunately, it looked and smelled so good I couldn't wait. The ingredients were fresh and only took a few minutes to prepare. The cashier and the cook were both very friendly and you could tell they keep it clean here too. If you're in the area and have $5 to spare run in and grab a taco. Try something different and let me know how your experience was.”

“We catered our Christmas Eve dinner from Fausto’s and everyone was VERY pleased with the salads, lasagnas, bread, chicken, and sauce. Fairly priced, on time. I’ll order from Fausto’s again!!”

“On line doesn't allow for 1/2 cheese only side plain ingredient pizza orders.Try calling to leave a message before store opens about on line pizza order, can't be done.Can't change delivery time on line, just stuck on 11AM, need at noon..frustration.”

“I went here with my friends so that they can try out Filipino food for the first time, and I have to say the food was phenomenal and the service was top-notch. We ended up getting. The street food platter and it’s good enough for four people. The chicken adobo was very good. It reminded me of the ad that my fiancé makes but if you want really good Filipino food, I would recommend this place and I will continue to go here.”

“Awesome ambience, good service, lovely steel plates and steel cup. Coffee will blow you away, the kothu parotta was delicious and egg biryani was really tasty. Thank you management for not keeping thermocol cups and plates”

“We were in Arlington Heights for a memorial service and looking for a nice dinner. So glad we found this neighborhood gem. The parking lot was scary with work being done but we didn't let that discourage us and I am so glad. The complementary bread basket with focaccia was delicious. All dinners come with soup or salad. My husband was delighted with his the lobster ravioli topped with lobster sauce and sauteed shrimp. I loved my veal Marsala. For the quality and quantity of food, it was more than reasonable. We live 45 minutes to an hour from there but, we will be back.”

“We ordered chicken noodle soup, letting the waiter know that we were going to share. They thoughtfully split our order into two bowls and even gave us a little extra. The chicken noodle soup was delicious! The noodles were cooked perfectly, not too hard and not too soft. The broth was comforting, and the chicken and ingredients tasted fresh. It really was the best chicken noodle soup I've ever tried. The service was great too. We'll definitely be back again.”

“The food is fantastic. The mole sauces are to die for (sshh don’t tell my mom i said that). The table side guacamole is a must do. I look forward to eating my way through the rest of the menu.”

“Without a doubt this is the best Sushi Restaurant I have had the pleasure to dine in! My wife and I love sushi and we constantly look for sushi restaurants. Our To GO To place used to be Sushi Station in Rolling Meadows but Naomi sushi is just in a hole another level of taste and service! We have tried all the local restaurants such as Sushi Para, Chicago Sushi and Osaku Sushi but Naomi is just next level goodness. Please, do yourself a favor and stop by for dinner, you will thank me later!”

“My family & I did a wine tasting here followed by dinner. Tony was helping us during the wine tasting & he was phenomenal! Very intelligent & personabale. Dinner was delicious too! We will be back!”

“A nice local restaurant with some excellent sushi, sushi rolls and ramen. Folks are really nice and yes you can dine in if you wish, mostly a carry out type of place.”

“We drove all the the way from the south suburbs to check out the restaurant and new owners, so friendly and welcoming. The meatloaf was DELISH!!!! We loved our food. An overall fabulous dining experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Excellent food and service. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Food came out at a decent pace considering the place was full. Quality of the food was amazing as well. Key lime pie was the kicker to the meal. Not a slice, it's a big mini pie. Super delicious. Only complaint is that the crust is a little thick. Could be a little thinner. Will definitely be back!!”

“Great place to go have a drink and grab food! Literally and an option for everyone when it comes to beer, liquor, wine, and food. If your a blue cheese fan, don't even get me started! The blue cheese is made in house and can't be beat! Smooth and chunky ???. It's pretty chill until around midnight and the pops off. So you can have a chill time or a club vibe depending on when you go. Plenty of games to play and plenty of slots to play as well.”

“We always enjoy the food and drinks here. Service wasn't great- our side dish was brought out as we were finishing up our meal. It had obviously just been reheated, which I guess is better than bringing it out cold.Volcano Roll is my favorite.”

“We had the chicken Tom Yum soup. It was pretty tasty. I've only enjoyed 2 places and this is one of them. The other was Thai Room but they're closed now. I had the basil fried rice. It was ok. I'd try something else next time. The fried icecream is pretty good”

“I have a shellfish allergy, and they offer a great variety of rolls and other foods I can eat. They have an impressive menu overall and good-sized portions. The Kamakazi roll is AMAZING. The mochi ice cream is a perfect portion for after dinner.”

“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.”

“I go here everytime. Got the curry laksa, nasi lemak and roti canai. It's delicious. Service was pretty fast, ambience is relaxing. Indeed, transports you to Penang.”

“Every time I come in to Gerry’s, I immediately sense the positive and loving atmosphere, and I always leave feeling better because of it! The food has always been very good, and the coffee is top-notch! I highly recommend Gerry’s to anyone who enjoys the beauty of humanity and connection.”

“Simply the best beef sandwich you will find around Chicagoland. Italian ice is fantastic and the prices are reasonable. I’d recommend taking the trip to pay them a visit”

“This place is awesome, to put it lightly. Food is always fresh, the daily specials are on point, and the main guy behind the counter is chill. If I lived by here I’d probably come at least once a week.”

“Awesome experience, they get it right in terms of food, service, and atmosphere. You can expect quality here in just about every way~ I recommend stopping by for good grub and a good time bowling! ?Parking: Spacious.”

“First time dining and we loved the food and service! Biryani and butter chicken were great. Best naan I have ever had! Can’t wait to try other dishes next time. A welcome addition to Pioneer Park area.”

“Our reservation was for 5pm and we walked in at 502pm. The food for both my wife and I were absolutely the best Italian food we have ever had. The price was excellent for such great quality. We will try to come at least once per month. Thank you very much for our delicious meals. We will see you soon.”

“Wow, first time trying this restaurant and it did not disappoint! Great food, great service! Will definitely be going back. Enjoyed my poached eggs, hash browns, off the bone hame & French toast! If you haven’t been to “Golden Bruch” yet, what are you waiting for? Go!”

“We had the seasonal peep latte and the avocado toast. Both were delicious! They did run out of peep marshmallows which was disappointing as it should be easily restocked from any grocery store. Loved the location and vibe!”

“My OG go to. It's not a great place for a beer selection, so don't come here for that, but the food is good, and the staff are great, very attentive and very friendly. There are some good deals like the 20 taco tray. I love the Birilla de Borrego. Latin music is lit, and it's a very comfortable vibe.”

“Love Jimmy D’s! ❤️ Great food and drinks at a moderate cost, and the staff there are super friendly and helpful. This is definitely a 5 star place! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Fantastic selection and premium products made by "Chocolate Shoppe" out of Wisconsin. The flavors do rotate some, but they usually have non-dairy and sugar free options on hand. Flavors range from traditional (chocolate, vanilla, caramel) to more exotic (blueberry cheesecake, peanut butter cookie dough) and all kinds of creations ("fat Elvis" with banana, peanut butter and chocolate chips or the "exhausted parent" with bourbon, espresso and chocolate chunks)You can get scoops (cones or dish), shakes, sundaes with a large variety of toppings, or the "Scoopzilla", which is something like a dozen scoops, maybe more? We may need to host a party just to try it!The staff are friendly and they really hustle to serve customers quickly. There is no inside seating but there is a large parking lot with ample space or a block north of Palatine Road on Windsor is Lake Arlington so a perfect place to take your ice cream to enjoy.”

“As stated on the door, the biggest and best breakfast place in town! Very cost-effective and filling food, large portion sizes. I highly recommend trying the ham here!”

“It's a great breakfast place. The good thing is they have been serving customers with the same high quality food and service. Maybe the downside is nothing has changed for a long long time.”

“I have been going here for a few years now. I Wasn't one for doing reviews, but I decided I will start with the places that are exceptional. Scooby is small inside, but everything about the food is worth it. The fries are amazing, once I tried the ribs I had them straight for the next 5 times I went in there. Pete the owner cuts the ribs in individual pieces then puts them on the grill to crisp them up, OMG fire! I am also addicted to the strawberry shake.”

“Great food and extremely helpful staff! We tried the drinks, donut, and their version of types of hotdogs. I ordered a Mozzarella one, amazing!Will definitely be ”

“Staff is great, very helpful ladies, busy but they were very efficient! Place is very clean. Bathrooms are clean, which is always a plus! Definitely our go to bk around the area not too busy”

“This is a pretty busy location and they always make good and creamy coffee, ice cream is also good. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is enough parking outside.”

“Lots of tables inside to dine in! Freezer cases are filled with dilly bars and ice cream cakes. Cakes are about $30 to $35.The lunch menu is only hot dogs or soft pretzels. You can get the soft serve ice cream as a cone or sundae. Hot dogs and ice cream for 2 children was less than $15.”

“Our go to Culver’s, the food is always great. They forgot our extra chicken tenders tonight and ran after us to make sure we got them. We really appreciate the great service!”

“I love this Dunkin Donuts!!! They have the best customer service and the crew there are so friendly and very efficient. My coffee is always tasting Super Delicious! Thank you Azucena, Joel and Hardik for the amazing service you give to us❤️ #LoveDD”

“Food is always great but do NOT get the sandwich combo. Two times now the fries are barely a handful while all the other options you get more fries than you know what to do with.”

“Great staff and the drinks were done just like I asked. It is always very nice when the person taking your order actually listens to what you're saying. Thank you!”

“I lost my wallet here December 27 2023 just Wednesday. A man called later saying his wife found it, they called me on a restricted # I can't call them back. I said to take my wallet to a nearby establishment Wich I frequently visit. So far it's not showed up. Please if you see this please return my wallet to Zen Leaf. Thank you.”

“FOR STORE#511 I LOVE JIMMY JOHNS VERY MUCH. ? THE SANDWICHES ARE THE BEST. ? THE SERVICE IS GREAT AND THE STORE IS VERY CLEAN AND ORGANIZED. THE EMPLOYEES ARE SO NICE PEOPLE. THEY TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE CUSTOMERS. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I REALLY RECOMEND IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY ?”

“Dunkin is my favorite because their coffee is the best and the drive-thru service is quick with super nice people. It’s my go-to spot for a delicious coffee every time!”

“Always a great place to grab a cup of coffee. Employees are friendly and polite. I love Dunkin. To me it's more of a common coffee, not the over roasted snobby attitude Starbucks gives off. That's just my thoughts. I prefer Dunkin and always will.”

“Great place to come with the family! They have a pretty good variety of food and the staff is really nice. Also, if you have a fussy kiddo like mine the noise cancels out the ”

“I ordered iced coffee and strawberry Dunkin refresher. Both were good but strawberry refresher was not freshly prepared, it was readymade fruit flavoured concentrate . that was very strong It would be better if they serve freshly prepared with less sugar. Service was good Everything neat and clean We enjoyed by sitting and watching outer view of running train.”

“Normally they are on point but i stoped there last week on my way home from work twice my order was for 30$ or more each time both times they forgot to give me items two crunch wraps and 4 tacos very disappointing last thing I want to do after working 14 hours is for back there and wait for my food a second ”

“I haven’t had Arby’s in years. Thought it was trash. But went on a whim today, and was so pleasantly surprised. Got a Buffalo chicken slider, curly fries and strawberry lemonade, and everything was very good. Way better than chick fil a or Wendy’s.”

“i got there right before 2pm on a saturday and there was barely anything left!! was dying to try one of those sandos but what i did get was delicious. mos def home made...sweet, SWEET japanese lady behind counter, and i am all about supporting small local businesses! RUN AS SOON AS THEY OPEN AND BRING CASH!!”

“I asked for eggs over medium and corned beef hash well done came out perfect... Prices are wonderful, and the service is outstanding..... I will definitely be back many more times ! ! ! It's the perfect mom and pop small town atmosphere... Thank You. Jimmy”

“I’m not big on reviews, but these guys absolutely deserve one. I would post a picture of the food but I ate it too fast before writing this. Their tortas are not on the list to review, but they’re low-key a “hidden gem” here. By hidden I mean they’re on the back page of the menu but if you choose to get them, you will not be disappointed. They’re loaded to the brim, packed with flavor, and the bread is crispy and everything you want out of your torta filling holder. I’ll be trying their pizza next, as the single slices were top tier. They seem like super genuine people who care about their customers and I can’t recommend stopping by for a bite enough.”

“Best pastries around!! My favs are the onion roll and the chocolate cream ones. We also always get the crustless bread. I've even gotten my daughter into loving the turtles. We also get the bun with the hot dog inside and a few others. I will say it does get crowded but it's goes relatively fast. And there are trays with tongs to grab the pastries yourself. The staff are super friendly and helpful and inside is cute with cute decor. Also get the tiramsu! Def would recommend to anybody and will always keep coming myself.”

“Excellent service and sushi!! They served 22+ of us and were on top of it! Drinks, many different menu items and never missed a beat. Delicious sushi, sashimi and cooked items along great portion sizes. Awesome place and definitely returning!”

“Love this place, not enough to move to Illinois but if I did, I would be a regular. Thanks to our server/bartender for a great afternoon. We will be back when next in the area.”

“Hidden gem in the heart of Downtown Arlington Heights! Amazing food and the sweetest staff who really cares about your experience. Great for big or small groups!”

“This take out Chinese restaurant is so yummy. There dishes are freshly made. When they say spicy be careful you can have your spice level adjusted, just ask.Great crab ragoons and egg rolls. Kung pow is good and love the loew main.Friendly gentleman at front and answers phone.This place has been around for a long time for a reasonVery large portions.”

“The Village Grill is our favorite neighborhood spots with great food. John the owner is very attentive and so is his staff. They are very mindful of the current COVID-19 situation they’ve accommodated their tables for social distancing and are very clean! They have a great family friendly and healthy conscious menu!!”

“This is one of the best Chinese places I’ve ever been to. Always consistent and the servers are always so friendly as well as the owner. I will continue to come back here. Love it here”

“Staff is always welcoming and makes the extra effort to get families in quickly (which is greatly appreciated having young children). Food is great and staff is always friendly.”

“Garibaldi's is not my go to pizza place, but there are times when I get a hankering for their Pizza and it hit's the spot every time. The product is very consistent, the slices are huge. I remember when it was in Town and Country Mall back in the day and they had a guy tossing dough, it was pretty cool. I kinda miss that old mall. Anyway, yes, I recommend this place.”

“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!!!!”

“My brother, my fiancé, and myself go here every Friday right when they open. The owner seriously makes us feel like more than just customers. She remembers us and greets us with a smile every week. The good vibes as well as the great selection of froyo keep us coming back. We will not go anywhere else. This is our froyo home.”

“Not big cake fan but the cake I got from here is the best cake I've ever had, 10/10 that was badParking: 6 spotKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“Classic Chinese place in that it is a small storefront in a local strip mall. They do not deliver. The lady in charge was very nice to deal with and our order was ready as promised. We had Kung Pao and Sesame Chicken with a couple of egg rolls. Food was quite good and in "lunch for the next two days" quantity. We will be returning.It should also be noted that dine-in facilities are at an absolute minimum. Functionally, this is a take-out joint only. And that is okay.”

“Great place to come with the family! They have a pretty good variety of food and the staff is really nice. Also, if you have a fussy kiddo like mine the noise cancels out the ”

“Overall I like this place. Mainly for the deli and homemade foods. Produce is usually so so. Always ask for a receipt because they don’t accept returns without it. This is the only place I know of that ask the customer if they want the receipt. Also always check the dates on the dairy. They had a great deal over the weekend and Land O Lakes light butter with canola oil. Two huge containers for five dollars. But the expiration date is in a couple weeks. also they sell some bread that does not have expiration dates which is ridiculous. I will not buy bread that does not have a date. I’ve often seen loaves of bread with mold on them.”

“A nice local restaurant with some excellent sushi, sushi rolls and ramen. Folks are really nice and yes you can dine in if you wish, mostly a carry out type of place.”

“Awesome ambience, good service, lovely steel plates and steel cup. Coffee will blow you away, the kothu parotta was delicious and egg biryani was really tasty. Thank you management for not keeping thermocol cups and plates”

“1st class restaurant with outstanding food and service. Server Nancy we've had many times and she's spectacular. I had Walleye Pike with rice and veggies. 5 stars.Live music was way too loud which made it difficult to chat. 2 stars.”

“What a fantastic experience! I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for years and finally the stars aligned. Our server made everything fun, made awesome suggestions and overall…. one of the best dining experiences I ever had. Go there when you have the time to sit and enjoy all the different platings.”

“As busy as it is, this Portillo’s is a classic. Fresh food, great employees & affordable prices. I deliver for Ubereats from here too when I’m in the area, and sometimes when an order has something that seems really good I go back and order it myself. I’m always impressed. I hope this franchise stays around for a while, and based off the drive thru and foot traffic, I’m sure I’m correct on this one.”

“Finally tried out Southern Kitchen! DELICIOUS! DELICIOUS! DELICIOUS!

“Food is always great but do NOT get the sandwich combo. Two times now the fries are barely a handful while all the other options you get more fries than you know what to do with.”

“Came in craving pancakes but I seen a new sirloin and eggs was added to the menu so I ordered that instead… the steak was seasoned perfectly for breakfast very pleased with my meal”

“Went here for lunch and it was so much more relaxed than going in the evening. The veggie fajitas were delicious and my friend had the taco salad. She said there was no dressing on it, but when she inquired, the server was quick to offer options. Definitely will return!”

“We had the seasonal peep latte and the avocado toast. Both were delicious! They did run out of peep marshmallows which was disappointing as it should be easily restocked from any grocery store. Loved the location and vibe!”

“I found your establishment through a fb group that someone was saying how wonderful your food was. My fiance and I came here tonight and it did NOT disappoint! I am a huge pizza connoisseur and this was hands down one of the BEST pizzas I have had in a LONG time! Our drinks were fabulous as well. Also the atmosphere was really really nice. I'm glad I found you guys. Kimmy was our server tonight and she was great! We will DEF be regulars now!”
