The Little Island 2600 Crawford Ave, Evanston Fast Food • $

“I've driven past this place so many times and I finally decided to try it out. Only carry-out and delivery right now with the pandemic. I ordered 2 Big Island Classic burgers, 1 smokehouse burger, and another basic burger with one small cheese fry. It took 25-30min for preparation. This seems to be a 2 man operation (dad and maybe his daughter) and it was at prime lunchtime. I didn't realize the description online said the island and smokehouse burgers were on french bread so that was a surprise but not bad. Personally, we weren't the biggest fans of how the burgers were cooked, charred and well-done, but the toppings were great and my sister said the ketchup to mayo ratio on hers was perfect! The cheddar fries are Merkt's cheddar which I now know isn't my favorite but for those that like Merkt's, there is lots of it and covers all the fries. Thanks for lunch, Little Island :-)”

To top it off, the meals are served with a side of coleslaw and a huge salad portioned for 4 (but big enough for 6 it seems). Because the portions are so generous, I now have salad leftover for my lunch today!”

LeTour 625 Davis St, Evanston French • $$$

“Amy Morton doesn't know me at all. We live 235 miles away and we are not able to dine at her restaurant anytime soon. Nevertheless, we sent a blind inquiry looking for information on a performer who appeared at Found Kitchen 3 years ago. Our inquiry is never going to make any money for Amy, we know that and she knows that. Altho she could have blown off our request, she had her staff reach out to us the next day with all of the contact info we possibly could need....because she's an awesome business person and a great restaurenteur! Every restaurant comes up short on the quality of an entree from time to time, water glasses might not get refilled as rapidly as a Yelp reviewer might want......it happens. We wanted to share with your FB viewers our experience with Amy's staff and let you all know how much we appreciate her and her dedication to customer service.”

IHOP 100 Asbury Ave, Evanston Breakfast • $

“I really enjoy his restaurant all the way around. The food is delicious and I particularly like the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, Spinach and Mushroom Omelette, Colorado Omelette, Bacon Temptation Omelette, Spicy Poblano Omelette, and Cowboy Hamburger with Barbeque Sauce. I also really appreciate the wonderful background music and the fact that you're open 24 hours a day. And above all, the service here is outstanding. Everybody who's employed here is very kind, helpful, compassionate, and efficient and goes way beyond the call of duty. Keep up the great work!”

Soul & Smoke Evanston 1601 Payne St, Evanston Barbecue • $$

“I met the owners when we were both doing appearances on a morning news show. I have lived in Evanston for over 30 years; and, shame on me, did not know about Soul & Smoke. I went there that afternoon and have been back 3 times! The herb roasted turkey dinner with all of the sides was phenomenal! I even got a beef brisket dunner for a friend who was celebrating Hanukkah. I am telling everyone about this! Look at the photos!”

“The family agreed it was good, but not great enough that we will return. No major mistakes, just not as delicious as the competition. Service was nice but slow. Nice to have outdoor seating.”

McDonald's 1919 Dempster St, Evanston Fast Food • $

“One of the better McDonald’s I have been to. This place can be a bit slower, but I love their hot fries and burgers that are tasty. Sometimes this place gets overwhelmed by the nearby high schoolers, but otherwise, I like this McDonald’s.”

Egg Harbor Cafe 1701 Maple Ave, Evanston Vegetarian • $

“My wife and I stopped into this place on a whim today while in Evanston. We weren't sure what to get, but our server was so helpful in asking what kinds of things we liked and recommending some options he thought we might enjoy. My wife ended up getting the avocado toast (she loved it), and on Trevor's recommendation I tried the Shakshuka. Wow, what flavors! Thanks Trevor for nudging me outside my comfort zone to find my new favorite!! We will definitely be back!”
