“Omg this place is so much fun! Andrea is super nice and helpful. She helped us with our form so we could actually get the axes to stick to the wall. A fun bonus is that you get ninja stars and metal cards (think of X-Men Gambit cards) so you can live out your childhood fantasies. Would definitely recommend this place.”
“Awesome awesome awesome! Our second time dining at El Jefe, just as the first 5 star experience! The staff are wonderful, very attentive, and very happy! Food was excellent, I had the grilled octopus and devoured it!!!! My recommendation for food - anything on the menu! Great atmosphere, great people, I can’t say enough…”
“We have dined in and ordered take out from here a lot! During the pandemic we ordered the family meal for carryout. The food is ALWAYS on point. The staff is friendly and the place has a nice atmosphere. When the weather is nice, you can sit out in the patio for a different vibe. The drinks are good too. It’s hard to find a spot that has flavor in every bite. We’ve ordered the New York strips, salmon, chicken kabobs, lamb shank. You have to have the Greek potatoes with your entree! I attached some of the entrees we have ordered in the past and also the family meals we got to go. You have to try this place out!”
“4 of us went Friday night 4/21 before the show at Paramount. We had reservations ànd our table was ready for us on time. The food was really good, but the highlight of our entire time there was our server Carla. Carla went above and beyond for us. We all agreed, she was the best serve any of us have ever had anywhere!!! Thank you Carla!!! "The Golden Girls"”
“Strings Ramen for me, went from just trying it...to now it's my GO TO!!! Great menu, appetizers, entrée, and drink. The staff there are extremely friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“1st time ordering through Shef. Shef Robinson makes amazing home cooked Kerala dishes which are rare to find in usual Indian restaurants. The mutton pepper fry, beef fry, mutton briyani, mutton stew were all delicious. My toddler enjoyed the mutton stew with the iddiyappam too! Mom approved.”
“Jason Great !!!!! He Is always a friendly and up beat .He is a great bartentender and the food is always excellent! Try the Tequila BBQ sauce wings! THANKS JASON !!!!!!!”
“This place is exactly what Aurora needs. the owner Dora and her son Devin Soto are becoming staples in the community. they have an awesome beer lineup and other options like spirits and wine. It's my go to place and it should be yours as well.”

“We just had the most delicious lunch here! It was our first time, so we ordered quite a bit so we could share and taste multiple things. We had the cheese, and ham and cheese empanadas, the beet salad, the Milanesa sandwich, a side of majadito, and the pork in Chipotle sauce. Everything was so delicious! I love their use of cilantro! Their "hot sauce" has such great flavor and just enough heat! I couldn't choose a favorite. We will 100% be back!”
“Stopped by this morning after seeing their shop from the road yesterday. Let me tell you, these doughnuts do not disappoint! Their doughnuts are deliciously soft and packed with flavor. The cinnamon coffee cake doughnut was phenomenal, as well as the maple bacon (a favorite flavor of mine from when I was growing up). I often times find that gourmet doughnuts like this end up being dry and crumbly, but the ones from Petit Three are perfectly balanced and hold together well. Not only are their doughnuts great, but their coffee is outstanding as well. The iced triple mocha latte was our fav. All around recommend Petit Three Doughnuts!”
“The ice cream is great and in my opinion really tasty. The service is really good and really fast and sometimes you can get a free slushy. The surroundings is good but only when you are prepared for it because you have to wait outside but at least you can see them making what you ordered.”

“The best tacos I've ever eaten! Ground beef and steak tacos on flour tortillas, are my favorite. Going to try burritos and quesadillas next! Definitive 5 stars!”
“I have to remind all of us in Aurora and around our great city. Jake's Bagels is absolutely the best. Lets start with the wonderful hard working staff. Then on to the fabulous bagels, cream cheese and specials. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the great service, friendship and wonderful food. We are so blessed to have you here. Love and Hugs, your Joanie Hatch Boldan”

“My kids love this place!!! Hot cheeto Dog and Spaghetti Dog are our favorites to order! We tried the Hot Cheetos fries this time and they didn’t disappoint. Totally recommend!”
“One of the reasons I came here was because of the rating. 5.0. The rating truly speaks for itself and I’m happy to report it stays true to its reputation. The service was quick, helpful, and charming. The food was very good and very reasonably priced. I spent a little over $15 on a regular bowl with a soda. If you’re into poke bowls, this is defiantly a place you won’t want to pass up.”

“Pretty expensive for a taco truck considering there over head cost is less then an actual restaurant. I’d definitely come more often if the prices were just a tad less.”
“One of my favorite places!! The best pick me up. I come here at least once every other week. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff is friendly. They have a cute light up sign that you can take pictures by and they have a good amount of seating too. My go to is the taro coconut with no boba. The pina colada, coconut coffee, mango, and strawberry are also really delicious! Check this place out, you won’t be disappointed!!”
“I had the “Green Glow” raw juice and it was delicious. Really fresh. Flavors blended well with each other and sweet enough to make it a treat. Really excited to try the rest of the menu.”
“This was our 1st time eating here. I have to say that we were NOT disappointed at all!! Very satisfied!! Very, very good food!! We are definitely coming back!! Living out in the suburbs, it gets hard finding good chicken wings, fish, etc. that is worth going to, other than in Chicago! Coming here, is definitely a taste of the Chi!! Definitely recommend!! The Hennessey Sauce is a must have!! Thank you for a great experience!! Continued Blessings!!”
“This restaurant is one of the many reasons I could never move away. I have been eating here for over a decade. This is one of only 2 places in the US that I will eat sushi. Try the Fuji Mountain or the Crunch. Top notch.”
“We went there for lunch…..they didnt hesitate serving in the closing time as well…….staff suggested us wt is good….they definitely served treating well….could improve lil quantity on the starters but the fooodddd is amaaaazinggggg biryanis are of good quantity …..the place is welcoming….best place for munching on indiannnn food”
“I love Peri Peri, and this place was great. The staff was very nice and provided great customer service. I usually have to ask for extra mild sauce on my chicken, BUT not here. They were generous with the sauce, and I loved it. I usually don't leave reviews, but I couldn't let the service I received today go unacknowledged.”

“Fantistic food! The Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl is my favorite. The Seaweed Salad is addictive. Same thing is to be said for that crunchy stuff on top of the Crunchy Shrimp Roll. What a great Birthday dinner tonight!!!”
“1st time ordering through Shef. Shef Robinson makes amazing home cooked Kerala dishes which are rare to find in usual Indian restaurants. The mutton pepper fry, beef fry, mutton briyani, mutton stew were all delicious. My toddler enjoyed the mutton stew with the iddiyappam too! Mom approved.”
“Where to start?? The food, service and atmosphere are amazing! We have tried nearly the entire menu and nothing disappoints! Try the crispy chicken and a Korean corn dog. My favorite is the double cheese! The staff are outstanding and go the extra mile to provide an awesome experience everytime! Grab some Boba or a shot tower or two or go all out and have a whiskey flight...you won't regret it! We love 9 Bar!”
“Very authentic hyderabadi flavor. Their kabobs are MUST try. Very fresh and tender meat and very flavorful. Got their kabobs again the second time and same taste and flavor. Its a hidden gem.”
“Got.tge fried chicken, it was good but really salty. Mixed vegetables had a ton of lima beans (not a bad thing, but weirdly proportioned). Server seemed inconvenienced that I was picking up a take out order.”
“Lao Sichuan has the most authentic and consistently amazing Chinese food to be found anywhere in the U.S. Having spent some time living in China while I was in undergrad, there are certain flavors that I crave, which your run of the mill American style Chinese restaurant will not have. My wife and I live in St Charles and make the 1 hour 20 minute round trip at least once a week to get our fix. The food is that good. The owner is seemingly always there, and obviously genuinely cares about ensuring quality in what is served every time. Our favorites are Chengdu Style King Pao Chicken, Ma Po Tofu, Beef in Pure Cumin Powder, Toothpicks Lamb, and the Xiao Long Bao. I cannot for the life of me fathom how this restaurant does not have a higher rating. It is the best. Try it. You won't regret it.”
“I went for the first time today. The place is very nice, clean too ! The food was amazing. I ordered tacos de asada and cabeza. The flavor of their asada was fire. Probably the best asada you can find in Aurora. It was very juicy and flavorful. And the cabeza was smoky as well. The only thing stopping me from giving them the full 5 stars is that the tacos were small. But overall amazing !”
“I drove by on a route I don't normally take and smelled the food and turned around. I ordered 2 tacos. Asada and pastor with cilantro onion. I've been in Aurora 10 years and sampled a few dozen nearby restaurants and this one definitely hits the top 3 for me. The flavor was definitely number one for pastor. I have to return and get a full meal to really give a proper review but if 2 tacos blows me away I will certainly be back.The woman who served me didn't speak much English, but that's not her fault. I'm probably the minority customer. Great for family dinners or quick lunches.”
“Seafood platter is always great. When asking for hot salsa, ask for something hotter than hot and they will make you a custom hot salsa that is so tastey! Food hear is always great. The chorizo bean dip with chips is fantastic as well. Can't go wrong with the music and food here. Great place and atmosphere overall. Great place to pass the time.”
“This was my first visit here, and initially, I was somewhat puzzled about where to go. However, the hostess was exceptionally welcoming and kind, taking the time to guide me through both areas. Upon entering, you find the restaurant to the right and, to the left, a bar along with a venue for live music. I visited on a Saturday night specifically for the live performance by Semple Band, and it was incredible. There was a $15 entry fee, payable in cash only. I hadn't brought any cash, but fortunately, there was an ATM right at the entrance, which was convenient. Inside the live music venue, there are two floors and plenty of space for dancing. There were lots of tables and seatings available, but you have to grab them quickly as they're first come, first served. The live music venue opens at 7:45 PM. Both the bartenders and the staff were amiable and efficient. I thoroughly enjoyed the roundhouse burger with waffle fries, priced at $16, and the beef nachos for $20. Both dishes were scrumptious, and I'd definitely order them again. The live band was fantastic, and I met many wonderful people. I had a great time at this venue.”
“This eatery is a culinary gem that whispers the secrets of Taiwan through its dishes. The mastermind behind this authentic Taiwanese kitchen? A chef who once commanded the kitchen of a high-end establishment, now pouring her expertise into a space that humbly masquerades as a food court. Yet, the simplicity of the setting belies the extraordinary flavors that await. Among the myriad of dishes, the Taiwanese Pork Chop Bento stands as my personal favorite. Accompanied by an ensemble of side dishes and rice, the pork chop is marinated to perfection, it’s juicy, bursting with flavors that are both bold and comforting. Here, the pork chop transcends its humble origins, rivaling, if not surpassing, its counterparts back in Taiwan. Why, you ask? The sheer generosity of the portion amplifies the experience, each bite more satisfying than the last. Sometimes, more is indeed more. For those in pursuit of the quintessence of Taiwanese cuisine, look no further. This unassuming spot in Naperville, devoid of any pretense of ambiance, is where your quest concludes. This is a culinary narrative, rich and unfiltered. In the pages of this food court’s menu, you’ll find authenticity that’s rare, flavors that speak of the distant island of Taiwan, and a reminder that the essence of a place can often be found in the most unexpected locations.”
“I eat a lot of Chinese food and im familiar with most restaurants in surrounding areas. East China Inn in Aurora is by far the best. Food is excellent. Restaurant is always very clean and welcoming. Joe and Yonni and the rest of the staff are just great. I use to have 5 different Chinese restaurants I visited regularly. Now I find myself at East China every chance I get.”
“12 mins for a 16" I about lost my mind that super quick for placed around here the guy that owns it is a true gentleman! Decent prices for current economy. Top notch ingredients, flavorful sauce and just right amount of crunch on the thin crust!Parking: About 4 at the store front and 20 in the back.”
“Good food and friendly atmosphere. Our waitress was new and did a good job. It’s a bit loud when it is crowded. There is nothing to absorb the sound and soften the noise level.”
“We have Just left dinner and all of us in the party cannot stop talking about our server Joseph! He was absolutely fantastic and made the meal even better. Food was great but Joseph was a GEM! We cannot stop praising his personality.”
“Got.tge fried chicken, it was good but really salty. Mixed vegetables had a ton of lima beans (not a bad thing, but weirdly proportioned). Server seemed inconvenienced that I was picking up a take out order.”

“I wanted something easy but fresh and Poke Bros did not disappoint. I came for lunch on a Saturday and the place was empty. I ordered right away and found an empty table to eat. Inside, there are a few tables but most people got their bowls to go. Everything felt very clean and bright and the young lady who took my order was very polite and helpful. All the ingredients looked and tasted very fresh and the portion size hit the spot.”

She was definitely personable, comical & a true delight to engage with! We will definitely be BACK for another GREAT EXPERIENCE! THANK YOU JOANA!

“The band Summer Sun nearly put me to sleep. Place normally has a good energy, but this band needs red bull and coffee, and to turn their metronome up to at least 110.”
Takeout Restaurants
“I tried this place based on the recommendation of a friend who said that these are his favorite donuts. The donuts and pastries were very good. We ordered 14 separate things to sample and all were good..In addition, the ladies working were very helpful and friendly. It is always great to go into a place with great service.I would highly recommend giving this place a try if you are looking for a good bakery.”
“Comfortable space to meet up with friends. Love the leather couches, chairs & the way the space is arranged into multiple conversation vignettes. Drop coffee was brewed excellenty in my opinion, releasing the roast's taste profile. Friendly staff & prices are very reasonable.”
“Ozzie's has become "our" place. The food is yummy. The staff is friendly. They treat you like family. I ordered my eggs well done scrambled. My plate was sent to another table on accident and the gentleman cooking came out with my correct order and sincere apologies. We truly enjoy sharing "bread" with friends here. Hubby loves the fresh squeezed oj too!”
“We just had them at our neighborhood block party and their food was so so so good!!!! They were so kind and friendly. Super professional and great communication. Their steak tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had! Their loaded fries were so good too! Highly recommend!”
“Strings Ramen for me, went from just trying it...to now it's my GO TO!!! Great menu, appetizers, entrée, and drink. The staff there are extremely friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!”
“Really delicious family- owned restaurant. It was incredibly clean, the owners are very kind and hardworking, and the food was delicious (asada tacos, asada burrito, and chicken enchiladas. Special shout out for the salsas - delicious!!) I look forward to coming back with my family and trying more items on the menu!”
“The food is amazing, i'm a black man and it was my 3rd time trying their mofongo. I was visiting from PA and had their mofongo and chicken and was thoroughly impressed. Borikken is my go to place for food whenever i'm in the chicago area ??”
“Ordered catering for Mother’s Day and everything was excellent. Order was fresh hot and delivered right on time. Made hosting a thousand times easier and less expensive then grocery shopping and making at home. Could not beat the deal beef, chicken, pasta, salad and place settings for $129. All I needed to provide myself was drinks.”
“I really like this place! I don't really like eating out very much, but I really like Dosbros! To give you an idea of what Dosbros is all about, think Chipotle, but better. The ingredients are much higher quality, and there's even more choices. I recommend the spicy chicken bowl if you like spicy. Otherwise their beef just can't be beaten. They also have a couple of sauces they make house that are super spicy. I like them both. Ask about them, he'll give you a little sample.”
“We went here on a whim, based on a recommendation. It was amazing! The food is so good. Tastes authentic and fresh. The staff is unbelievably friendly, and you can tell that they all truly care. We will definitely be back!”
“Visited two times in the last few weeks. Both times we had the same server, his name is Luis. His service has been nothing but exemplary. Always very courteous and attentive, I hope the next time we visit, he serves us again. Great experience. The food is very reasonably priced, and is also very well cooked. Double yoke has gained some new loyal customers.”
“I am from Taiwan, and this shop has the best boba tea I ever had in the area.Please come buy more and support this place and let everyone in the area able to enjoy a nice and good boba tea.”
“Jason Great !!!!! He Is always a friendly and up beat .He is a great bartentender and the food is always excellent! Try the Tequila BBQ sauce wings! THANKS JASON !!!!!!!”
“Went shopping at outlet mall. Came across this pizza place on google. It had good reviews. The food was fast and delicious. Had pepperoni pizza and garlic bread sticks. Perfect place to eat! Defiantly will be the place to go to after going to the mall. We will be back when we’re in town! Thank you for great service and friendly staff.”
“My mother and I came in for a late lunch today. We are from AZ and luckily found this place!!!! Let me tell you. I HAD THE BEST MEAL I'VE EATEN IN A LONG TIME. I ate the Birria and my Mom had the stuffed Chiles plate. Our server (I wish I could remember her name) was the nicest girl. I loved the family owned atmosphere! From the sauces to the service, this place did not disappoint. Ten out of ten! Definitely a must try!”
“Such a great time I had DJ’ing a wedding at Orchard Valley Golf Course!! The staff was amazing to work with and made things run smooth throughout the entire night! It was a nice easy access to load in all of my equipment. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and can’t wait to work there again!!”
“I can't believe how incredible Jose and these tacos are. We booked Mobile Coco's Tacos for a graduation party. The tacos were the talk of the night. I had teens and adults commenting that Mobile Cocos Tacos were the best tacos they have ever had. We picked al pastor, steak and veggie for our menu. Pair those with the rice and beans and the food for your party is complete. As an added bonus, Jose is also fantastic at communication. I highly, highly recommend! 5+ stars!”
“First and foremost, the food is flavorful and plentiful. To-go orders are carefully prepared to be piping hot when you get home. The tortillas are so good, I'm highlighting them for the way they elevate their tacos.Service is faster at other establishments, but the sacrifice is worth the wait.There's not a lot of atmosphere that I can give points for, but the truck and surrounding area was clean and the staff was courteous.Great job Tacos Don Juan”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“First time visiting this location, I decided to try something different from my typical fish tacos, which I really enjoy. I tried the pulled pork sandwich....it was ok. Not terrible by any means, but nothing that makes it stand out either. I got fries cause on the giant menus by the door it shows waffle fries, unfortunately that isn't what they have as their fries so it's kinda misleading in that aspect. I typically don't order fries.”
“Parking: Be careful when you're pulling out of your space. The parking design is a crunch so take it slow as your in the path of the drive through folks leaving and those coming from the other side driving to get to the 1 exit.”
“Whoppers are awesome. Last year i stopped going to BK becaause twice i was disappointed in my whopper. Meat not as warm as i wanted it. Bread dry. Meat had no flavor. Went this time around and i fell in love with my whopper.”
“I have been going to this location over 6+ years, It has been a staple when it comes to eating out, the best time is when you go right after work. The line might be long or it might be short. But it's a popular place. The only thing I would say is, I had a few instances where I had to wait over an hour in the drive thru because our order was given to another person. most of the time those who are running out the orders, they should've checked on us and see why we stayed in the line for so long instead of ignoring us when calling out. I am not one to storm into the establishment, so I wait in my car. But I don't know how to go about situations like this, when times like that happens. Other then that I enjoy going here.”
“Since they opened the food has changed a little bit with is sad. When I order al pastor tacos with grilled pineapple they say it's included but it's not anymore without asking. MONDAYS Steak and pork tacos are on sale. Their food is good just make sure you tell them how you want it.”
“I made a catering order over the phone with John and he made it so easy for me. Easy ordering process and I felt so confident. The whole team is smiley and they even offered to walk my catering to the car! Highly recommend this ”
“I recently ordered birthday treats from Dairy Queen, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, ensuring that I got exactly what I wanted. The birthday cake, cupcakes, and sheet cake were not only visually appealing but also absolutely delicious. The attention to detail and the quality of their desserts exceeded my expectations. Dairy Queen is now my go-to for delightful and scrumptious treats. Highly recommend for any celebration! ? ?”
“I went to eat a late lunch around 3pm. I came from my doctor’s appointment. I checked my glucose or sugar and it was low. So I decided to try this place called El Burrito Loco. I ordered the Carnitas taco dinner. They gave me some chips & red salsa. It was so yummy & delicious. I couldn’t finish my meal so I got it to go. The server who took my order was Yulisa. She was friendly & nice. And the other lady named Daniela hold the door for me.She was so nice & friendly.Come & try it here. Carnitas tacos for me please!!”
“this is the greatest taco bell i have been to in my entire life. for starters, the staff is so kind and attentive. compared to the taco bell near fox valley where you have to stand at the register for 15-20 simply to order/pay with cash (i’m not even kidding, this has happened on multiple occasions) they were right on it. the food also came out super fast also compared to the fox valley location with takes about 15-30 to get out the food for customers dining in. now to the food. food at all fast food places usually taste the same, but here it was so much better compared to other locations. the mexican pizza i got was hot, fresh, and delicious (they also got all of the extra things i wanted perfectly on there when other location ignore it) and so were the fries (the fries at the fox valley location are not fresh, horribly seasoned, and taste old and stale like they’ve been sitting out a while). the cheese was filled great as well (also compared to other locations where they barely fill it up halfway) and the restaurant in general was very clean and nice to be in. this should be how all taco bell’s should be and this is truly the best taco bell i have been to.”
“This is a great taco bell. 98% of the time my food is fantastic. Good portions, and I can only count on 1 hand any mistakes that were made with the last 100+ orders I've had here. Any mistakes I did have were easily solved cuz their customer service is really good. Occasionally they might not grill a burrito if you selected it to be grilled, but it doesn't happen all the time. Either way I really have no complaints about this taco bell. Also has a nice staff and I see they retain staff well so that means they likely treat their employees well.”
“This place is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL.Short review:Go here if you want a quick treat and good service. Apple pay is provided, but does not work 100 percent of the time so bring your card. Very limited parking but also has drive thru. Also, they only sell ice cream here.I’ve been a longtime goer here for awhile. I always order a blizzard or a cone, and some dilly bars for my grandparents as they are sugar free. Prices are reasonable, and staff is always helpful and kind.Ice cream cakes are also great as well. Perfect for special occasions like birthdays.Note that this place only sells ice cream, and not the sandwiches and other items other DQ locations sell.My only complaint is that the apple pay system does not work all the time, so bring your card if you’re going here.Place also hires from the high school a lot, so plenty of opportunity for our younger adults here in Aurora.”
“I only went here once but something I noticed was when the lady handed me my treat, they had a sincere smile. I suppose it's easy to treat drive-through customers one-after-another like you're a robot, but thanks for the FREE SMILE!”
“This was my first visit to Potbelly's a couple of days ago and I was not disappointed. I ordered a Smoked Ham with swiss on multi grain bread, 2 broccoli and cheese soups along with other items. I'm usually hesitant about processed meats but my sandwich was delicious. Going through the drive thru was painless as well. Order was correct. No issues.”
“I went through the drive-thru, and I got 1 lb. of chicken gizzards and fries. Brown's drive thru driveway has a big hole that needs to be fixed immediately. As time goes on, it's going to continue to get worse/bigger.”
“Whoever complaints about pricing is ignorant on the current rice of prices and market price of ordering fast food. This place is remarkably affordable. With that being said give it try and judge for yourself. I come here for pizza slices, they charge about 3.50 for any slice that is available so if there's a slice with pepperoni, sausage n jalapeños its 3.50. Just for comparison one topping slice in Chicago cost around $4-6. I've tried their sides like mozzarella and fries and I got no complaints, their quantity is good and pricing is great.”
“Seafood platter is always great. When asking for hot salsa, ask for something hotter than hot and they will make you a custom hot salsa that is so tastey! Food hear is always great. The chorizo bean dip with chips is fantastic as well. Can't go wrong with the music and food here. Great place and atmosphere overall. Great place to pass the time.”
“I talked to a gentleman about pizza crust as I like it and he stated he would make a note for my future orders. This last pizza was the best ! He cooked it just as I had requested and was so nice to talk to , as well. Personal attention to detail. So refreshing to be taken care of like that !”

“If it’s the worlds best carnitas you seek, look no further my friends. This place is the best for those stomach grumbling aches. Come here and get what you pay for.”
“This place is fairly new to the neighborhood! I have a few things to say about them, first thing is thier friendliness the first time I came I had a conversation with a lady about why she moved here and why I moved back and she was super sweet! Second they let you try samples of item so you won't have a reason to say oh no that was nasty. I love their service and food ! A lot of Spanish speaking places tell you hi and that's it but this place they literally hold conversations with you and make you feel the love. Also they stay very clean on the inside. Thanks”
“We randomly came across this little ice cream shop. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, the ice cream is homemade and delicious! , it is the cutest lil shop with a peaceful atmosphere ,inside and outside seating. Will definitely come back when we are in the area again!”
“Very good tacos , they are a decent size and very delicious . I come here atleast 3 times and month favorite taco place. People that take your order are very friendly 10/10”

“Been coming here since I was a kid. My siblings even worked here for a while. Love the ice cream and ambiance. Staff is always helpful and very nice. Best place to get ice cream!”
“I would give this infinite stars. The food is amazing and the cooks are so kind and knowledgeable. This is my new craving, I can’t get enough of the braised pork belly.”
“Great spot for a quick lunch. Prices are very fair and the portions are big. Really enjoyed the enchiladas, and the Al pastor is awesome. Rice and beans are done right. The horchata is some of the best around! Salsas were all good, but the tortilla chips were a bit plain. Needed some salt. Other then that, would definitely come back!Parking: Small off street parking lot right next to the building with 3 hour parking during the day.”
“I'm from out of town. When I saw the Chicago Tribune wrote about this restaurant not once but twice I had to try it. Am I glad I did. I ordered the baked Spaghetti with meatballs. My co-worker ordered the 10" personal pizza with sausage. The prices feel like pre-inflation prices. Super reasonable, especially once you see the large portions. I could barely finish my delicious spaghetti. It included two perfectly toasted and buttered pieces of garlic bread. My partner loved the pizza and she specifically commented on the flavor of the pizza sauce being amazing. The atmosphere is old school Italian and quaint. The owner was beyond friendly and struck up a nice conversation. I'm in town until Friday and can't wait to go back. 6/5 starsVegetarian options: Pizza with no meat. Pasta with no meat.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pizza crust option.”
“Quaint little place with African hints. Service really depends on the part timers so there a huge gap of hit or miss. The food is pretty good but on the heavy side of oily.”
“A great addition to the area. I told the owner that I usually have to go to Naperville for this kind of food. Love the Monster Greek Burger! Service was fast. Looking forward to trying more of the menu.”
“Great local place. Our bartender was awesome and Mike the general manager was very welcoming. This was our first time here, we tried the mozzarella bricks and the wings both were great. Will definitely be back to try some burgers.”
“Everything I have tried food wise Is amazing!! Even more amazing is the sauce!! Get extra sauce!! Put the sauce on the fries!!Didn't care for the shake .. I mean it was just a shake ??♀️ but the Italian beef.. oh so good ? a tad expensive but well worth it! Italian beef is sooo much better than Portillio's! Please keep in mind in the pics the fries are cold as I did drive HOURS just to get Baba's ?”
“Must try the prime rib egg rolls and the signature turkey club, it is HUGE and delicious, cobb wrap is great and also HUGE. Rueben is very good. Onions rings are good. Chicken caprese panini is great. Loved the shepards pie. Huge portions. Plenty of seating and claw machines in the back for the kiddos.”
“I went to the lake street location yesterday. They had tons to choose from. Everything was fresh and delicious. We got a whole bag of delicious treats for $10 and the staff was friendly. Will definitely return when we are in the area.”
“This was my first visit here, and initially, I was somewhat puzzled about where to go. However, the hostess was exceptionally welcoming and kind, taking the time to guide me through both areas. Upon entering, you find the restaurant to the right and, to the left, a bar along with a venue for live music. I visited on a Saturday night specifically for the live performance by Semple Band, and it was incredible. There was a $15 entry fee, payable in cash only. I hadn't brought any cash, but fortunately, there was an ATM right at the entrance, which was convenient. Inside the live music venue, there are two floors and plenty of space for dancing. There were lots of tables and seatings available, but you have to grab them quickly as they're first come, first served. The live music venue opens at 7:45 PM. Both the bartenders and the staff were amiable and efficient. I thoroughly enjoyed the roundhouse burger with waffle fries, priced at $16, and the beef nachos for $20. Both dishes were scrumptious, and I'd definitely order them again. The live band was fantastic, and I met many wonderful people. I had a great time at this venue.”
“Great food, great service, and great prices. Went for lunch today and ordered the Mediterranean bowl. The Salmon was cooked to perfection!! Thank you to the chef Blake. Rachel our server was fantastic! Will be back again soon and highly recommend.”
“It's not only sushi! The sushi and their edamame are delicious. They have the perfect combination between two cultures. They added a variety of delicious fusion items to the menu. Burgers, arepas and tequeños. Best latin dishes in town. Quality and outstanding service. Will definitely be back.”
“The food is too delicious, the service is the best, the ambiance is very pleasant. It is also important to highlight the hygiene here.It's the best place to eat tacos. ?”
“Good food and friendly atmosphere. Our waitress was new and did a good job. It’s a bit loud when it is crowded. There is nothing to absorb the sound and soften the noise level.”
“We have Just left dinner and all of us in the party cannot stop talking about our server Joseph! He was absolutely fantastic and made the meal even better. Food was great but Joseph was a GEM! We cannot stop praising his personality.”
“OMG! I have missed good take out since going vegan, and this place blew my mind! They had all the classic Chinese rake out dishes. Everything I got tasted exactly like what I remember prior to being vegan. I got sweet and sour chicken, vegan salt & pepper shrimp, wonton soup, and bean paste dessert rice balls. Everything was heavenly and wish I had stuff like this where I lived. I will definitely be back when I'm in the Chicago area again! Heck, I'd travel just for this food! I love that it's located in Chinatown too, which is a very cool area! The menu labeled what wasn't vegan/had egg & dairy.”
“Love this place!!! Everyone is always so friendly and kind but Eddie and Ester are my favorites! They really make you feel like family ❤️❤️❤️Dietary restrictions: They will make your food however you want it, just ask…Kid-friendliness: Lots of families with children and they never disappoint them. Always smiles from the little ones ?”
“Great place, the stage was very close to the sitting area, I had the pizza which was amazing, fully loaded,crust was nicely done, wait staff was good. We had a great time!!”
“Never had your tacos before but refuse to pay $3-$6 for a taco. When I saw you were going to be at scarecrow fest in st Charles and your tacos were $1.75, we had to try them. Got them for lunch and then decided to get more for dinner on way home. So delicious and so worth the $1.75. Thank you for helping fill my taco craving, been missing authentic tacos.”
“A wonderful place for a surprise birthday dinner or casual drink with great live entertainment. Food was amazing and the service was great. Bar staff was very attentive and interactive with our whole family. Would recommend to anyone!Vegetarian options: Veggie options availableParking: Very popular location when live entertainment is in going parking can fill up but street parking is availableKid-friendliness: Family environment”
“For the same price as its competitors in the area you get a better menu, better utensils, and a rolling cart to store meat and used plates. Great service great food, shoutouts to Quinton the GOAT he said my hair was nice and offered amazing service across the board ”
“Very nice place. The food is awesome, try "Agua Chile" and the Shrimp cocktail. Love the free ceviche and chips. The only thing that sucks is that they don't let you split checks (very stupid).”
“Their food is sooo good. I eat their chicken nice a week. Their sauces for the food is amazin. Jus wish they give a person a crab and a half for the amount we spend.Parking: N/A”
“The tacos and hush puppies are bomb. It's connected to another restaurant called Brown's Chicken. Still good though. Awesome food, huge tacos, nice people. Takes some time to get your order but it's worth it. Good burritos, homeade salsas, fair pricing. Good place. Locally owned and it has a nice home like feel... aside from the browns chicken next to it. Good amount of variety, with desserts. Prices are high on some things and low on others so it kinda averages out compared to like places. Taco was a little dry but we'll flavored. Ingredients are crumble cheese and not shredded and the refried beans will still have whole beans in them.”
“The name of the taqueria is now Los Cuates. The burritos are amazing. Highly recommend. Very friendly staff. Whenever chance has it, coming here again for lunch when in Aurora.”
“this is the best store where you could get the greatest dings bro you can go to the Tesla charging station and you could be chilling and if you're lucky if you have a Tesla model X or three you got an extra 28 V at the charging station. And plus it's not that hard to get stuff in there then going to Myers in Chicago and having to deal with nearly 295 people looking for the same stuff basically you can go to Walmart you can even find anything that you could find in Meyer.”
“Food and sauces great ..sweet little neighborhood restaurant but In a grocery store.. what a concept.. while reading product/service ratings/reviews keep in mind in some cases there's a minimum amount of words required to write a review. In 2019 most poor reviews are terrible people whining about BS, or other terrible people slandering competitors reputations. Rarely is it a sane person with a legitimate problem.”
“Used to love to eat the potato skins....even asking for extra cheese ...isn't Xtra...and the menu gets smaller and smaller...but the quality is still there...sometimes just not enough for what they are charging”
“My food was good, but I was so disappointed to learn that Red Lobster no longer has crab Alfredo, which was my go-to meal. In fact, they only do the crab legs from what I understand. I opted for the shrimp Alfredo, which was good too, but I think Red Lobster needs to rethink removing lump crab from their menu.”
“i love wingstop first of all, and there’s two grown women that work here that are my favorite, they’re so sweet with me i adore them , come in for a pick up and go , or come in place ur order, get ur drink , sit down and wait for them to call your name and then they do repeat ur order to confirm that’s wat u wanted”
“This is our go to spot! Mangolian chicken and shrimp and their veggie egg rolls! The best! And when you tell them "extra spicy "best believe it's spicy!”
“Such a great place to enjoy after work! Amazing food, cold beers and great customer service.. Yusra is such a great server! Amazing attention to detail and very friendly!”
“Fast service. Good food. Their biryani’s are really good. Great value for the price. We have also tried their dosa and those good too.The only thing I don’t like is that the plastic bottles they drop on your table instead of reuksr cups. Just adds more plastic to the world.”
“The pretzels here are only worth if you use the Auntie Anne's pretzel perks app on iPhone/Android and get free pretzels or buy one get one free coupons every now and then. Other than that, you'll be expecting to pay $3.00 something for a pretzel. The pretzels itself are good when they are fresh. I always go for the cinnamon sugar.”

“Whenever the Orchard Rd location messes up my order or tries to unnecessarily charge me extra, I come here to vent and get better quality food. Great experience here and will go here from now on.”
“I stopped here with my kids after we visited the Easter Bunny in the mall. I was hesitant because one of my kids has a couple food allergies. I saw that each flavor has their allergens labeled clearly. My next hesitation was cross contamination even though the allergens are labeled. The employee asked me if I had any questions and I asked about cross contamination. He asked me what allergens I wanted to avoid, I told him, and he immediately directed me to the flavors that would work. He also said he would go in the back to open a brand new tub and use newly sanitized utensils so we could be sure my child could eat without having an allergic reaction. I was so happy I almost cried. Having a child with food allergies can be hard to navigate while eating out and this type of interaction made our day. Thank you Baskin Robbins for taking the time to make sure my family could have a treat here safely. I will note, we came during the week around 2pm. There was no line and it was very slow in the food court in general.”
“Went shopping at outlet mall. Came across this pizza place on google. It had good reviews. The food was fast and delicious. Had pepperoni pizza and garlic bread sticks. Perfect place to eat! Defiantly will be the place to go to after going to the mall. We will be back when we’re in town! Thank you for great service and friendly staff.”
“Ordered catering for Mother’s Day and everything was excellent. Order was fresh hot and delivered right on time. Made hosting a thousand times easier and less expensive then grocery shopping and making at home. Could not beat the deal beef, chicken, pasta, salad and place settings for $129. All I needed to provide myself was drinks.”
“Super friendly and clean! Saff is friendly and seams like everyone is a regular so upbeat atmosphere. Have had to wait for open game so wish there were 2 more slots.”
“This was our 1st time eating here. I have to say that we were NOT disappointed at all!! Very satisfied!! Very, very good food!! We are definitely coming back!! Living out in the suburbs, it gets hard finding good chicken wings, fish, etc. that is worth going to, other than in Chicago! Coming here, is definitely a taste of the Chi!! Definitely recommend!! The Hennessey Sauce is a must have!! Thank you for a great experience!! Continued Blessings!!”
“We just had the most delicious lunch here! It was our first time, so we ordered quite a bit so we could share and taste multiple things. We had the cheese, and ham and cheese empanadas, the beet salad, the Milanesa sandwich, a side of majadito, and the pork in Chipotle sauce. Everything was so delicious! I love their use of cilantro! Their "hot sauce" has such great flavor and just enough heat! I couldn't choose a favorite. We will 100% be back!”
“Absolutely delicious. A lot of places around my house have disappointed me with their pizza, but we finally found one that lives up to the hype. Light and crispy with lots of flavor. You can tell they put love into it. Would recommend!!”
“Ozzie's has become "our" place. The food is yummy. The staff is friendly. They treat you like family. I ordered my eggs well done scrambled. My plate was sent to another table on accident and the gentleman cooking came out with my correct order and sincere apologies. We truly enjoy sharing "bread" with friends here. Hubby loves the fresh squeezed oj too!”

“I really like this place! I don't really like eating out very much, but I really like Dosbros! To give you an idea of what Dosbros is all about, think Chipotle, but better. The ingredients are much higher quality, and there's even more choices. I recommend the spicy chicken bowl if you like spicy. Otherwise their beef just can't be beaten. They also have a couple of sauces they make house that are super spicy. I like them both. Ask about them, he'll give you a little sample.”

“We were out shopping and didn't want to stop and ruin the shop till you drop vibe but we were starving and a drive thru wouldn't cut it but both agreed a quick taco or quesadilla would hit the spot. We decided on Taco Dale since we'd never had it before, it was a Friday night and again wanted something quick. Our initial thought or plan was (as it usually is) was to just get it to go and eat in the car and keep shopping.... we went in and ordered a cheese quesadilla and a steak quesadilla I asked if they could cut them in half (so we could split them) to let us each try both. They come with pico, guac, and crema. We didn't get the pico - just guac and crema. The girl was easily accommodating. As we were waiting for the order we quickly realized it may be greasy and we should probably stay and just eat it there. Once we got the order we told them we were going to stay and Christian was extremely accommodating and kind - he brought us chips, salsa, hot and mild sauce and drinks since we weren't going to initially stay. He also kept checking on us to see if we needed anything as well. Christian was also very kind and friendly to the other patrons that came in as well. The menu is abundantly full, there is something for everyone and the menu can be easily accommodating if needed. The ladies were very kind as well (I didn't get any names though I'm sorry). The restaurant itself was clean, warm and inviting. It is also ADA accessible. We will definitely be returning customers.”
“First time visiting this location, I decided to try something different from my typical fish tacos, which I really enjoy. I tried the pulled pork sandwich....it was ok. Not terrible by any means, but nothing that makes it stand out either. I got fries cause on the giant menus by the door it shows waffle fries, unfortunately that isn't what they have as their fries so it's kinda misleading in that aspect. I typically don't order fries.”
“My favorite buffet that I go to a few times a year. The variety and quality are great for the price point. I always receive good service and they have a competent enough crew to handle the volume of customers.”
“Great food and service. Always a packed place. The wait isn't too long. Their skillets could be a little bigger and the steak in the skillet was a little tough and chewy. Other dishes that we ordered was great.”
“Parking: Be careful when you're pulling out of your space. The parking design is a crunch so take it slow as your in the path of the drive through folks leaving and those coming from the other side driving to get to the 1 exit.”
“I eat a lot of Chinese food and im familiar with most restaurants in surrounding areas. East China Inn in Aurora is by far the best. Food is excellent. Restaurant is always very clean and welcoming. Joe and Yonni and the rest of the staff are just great. I use to have 5 different Chinese restaurants I visited regularly. Now I find myself at East China every chance I get.”

“We have already ordered from Nori twice and the flavors and quality of the food absolutely blew our socks off. So happy to have this place near to us. We will definitely be regulars and can't wait to try more of the menu!”
“Listen, I am a big breakfast/brunch girl. This place blew my mind. Not only was the service phenomenal from the second we walked in the door but the food and presentation was amazing. They give you the perfect amount of food and everything is very fresh. I would recommend their skillets, pancakes and chicken and waffles. The lattes were really good as well. The restaurant was decorated so cute and it was very clean. This is my new recommendation for breakfast/brunch you will not be disappointed!”
“Stopped by this morning after seeing their shop from the road yesterday. Let me tell you, these doughnuts do not disappoint! Their doughnuts are deliciously soft and packed with flavor. The cinnamon coffee cake doughnut was phenomenal, as well as the maple bacon (a favorite flavor of mine from when I was growing up). I often times find that gourmet doughnuts like this end up being dry and crumbly, but the ones from Petit Three are perfectly balanced and hold together well. Not only are their doughnuts great, but their coffee is outstanding as well. The iced triple mocha latte was our fav. All around recommend Petit Three Doughnuts!”
