“Great atmosphere and Taylor always takes care of her customers!”

“The moon river roll and vegetable tempura is my absolute favorite amongst many other menu items. Staff is always friendly and I feel like you get a lot of food for your money. Hayashi is always my first choice for sushi night!”

“GREAT SERVICE!! our waiter, June, was the best! he was very nice and so funny, good vibes the whole time! The food was so yummy and our waiters recommendations were very helpful!! thx!!!!”

“We were at the Gurnee location for dinner tonight. Gabby (Gabriell) was our waitress and she was amazing! She greeted us quickly, gave great recommendations, and she smiled the whole time. We will be requesting her every time we dine there!”

“Tasty food and this guy is so nice!! The soup is so so good. And the Jerusalem salad. Love the canned juices in the cooler! Huge cans of 100% juice in flavors we can't get elsewhere like passion fruit & watermelon. Generous portions, casual atmosphere. Appreciate the padding on the chairs. It's a relaxing place to eat. My family says the food is "amazing" "pita and hummus and shawarma are quite good.". We'll be back.”

“Great experience; with no reservation, on a busy Saturday night, we were able to sit at the bar and had a wonderful time. The bartender was a pleasure, and so was his friend lol. Great steaks, drinks and atmosphere!! Seriously, his friend was dreamy!! Thank you Stevens for a wonderful evening, one my new sailor will forever remember! Love from Texas!!”

“There is nothing about this place I don't recommend. The meads are amazing, their Cocktail Master is amazing at coming up with unusual combinations, and is great fun to talk to. The music mix is great as well (but possibly because I'm old 😁)! Overall, the place is extremely welcoming, with a selection of games and sofas so you can sit and enjoy your drinks and socialize.”

“Our first time to Primo was a special occasion as it was not only our anniversary but also our daughter was in town to visit and celebrate. Ryan V was our server and was fantastic - personable, knowledgeable and attentive! The menu is large, but don’t let that intimidate you! Ryan walked us through the app and entrees and we had everything from steak, to fish and pasta! ALL were delicious!! We will be back for sure, and highly recommend!”

“As someone who has worked in the service industry , Im delighted by the ambience, great staff service and most importantly the food/drinks. Amanda our server was super attentive, and even Pablo (the owner) came to the table to recommend great drinks. Lola’s really does represent the Mexican culture of good food, welcoming atmosphere and tasty dishes. Definitely recommend the Fajitas and the Jalapeno Poppers ! For drinks the Mango Habanero cocktail was tasty!”

“Not as much fun as thirty years ago but still not bad.”

“I recommend Leo’s for good food served by friendly people. Get on their email list for money-saving coupons. Keep this family owned business going!”

“The food was good, the staff are friendly and desserts is a bomb. I usually dont eat with strawberry but the dessert was soo yummy that you can’t resist.”

“I had the California burger and it was literally the best burger I ever had. 10 out of 19,would eat here again.”

“Just enjoyed an amazing meal! The sushi was so so good and the service couldn’t have been better. Don’t skip this restaurant if you’re in the mood for sushi!”

“Very clean and kids love it. We will definitely be back.”

“The service was great, restaurant was clean and the food was absolutely delicious. My family and I will definitely be going back again.”

“This restaurant could probably survive (with some lower cost) outside of a theme park. I only have tried one thing, the pulled cajun chicken and Mac and cheese) and they were really good. There's a selection of sauces at your table. If you have a dining pass, I would suggest visiting this place. If you don't, it will cost you a good penny (18-16 per entree, that does include a side).”

“We had such a blast ice skating at top shelf!! Was hesitant at first because of overcrowding but it seriously was perfect!! Price was so fair and the food was surprisingly fantastic. We are picky pizza lovers and it was so delicious. We’re definitely making this a monthly thing for the family, I highly recommend coming here if you need something fun to do- alone or with a group!”

“10 STARS IF I COULD When we walked in around 5:15pm to go to the cafe the line was really long, so I ordered via app. Omg, Emily was very calmed and collected when people seemed kind of getting antsy. She acknowledged that I was there to pick up my food and gave me a heads up that it’ll take another 3 more min. I told her it was fine and that she was doing a great job and said good luck. She was very thankful. I’m more than pleased with her and would definitely recommend! Great hire manager. Emily definitely deserve a raise.”

“Good seafood reasonably priced”

“Salutes is one of my family’s favorite restaurants in Lake County! We especially like their salad dressing!”

“The customer service is top notch and the drinks have the perfect level of sweetness which can be customized. The toppings are also very good. This is why I keep coming here.”

“This is a takeout-only spot, as all the tables and chairs have been removed. That said, I really enjoyed the food. You can tell it was prepared with care, and the quality exceeded my expectations, especially given some of the mixed reviews. The ingredients were fresh, and the food was served piping hot, which made for a great meal.”

“The food are so 😋 yummy , the service is great 👍 & affordable price”

“exceeded our expectations based on reading past reviews. Had good meal and decent service from Carlito. after a Day in the waterpark, it was nice to be able to go someplace close for a nice meal with my family.”

“Fast professional wonderful service”

“Great food and wonderful customer service. If I lived here I’d definitely eat there often.”

“Family of 5 and tried plenty of dishes including steak nachos, steak quesadillas, chicken, Porto and steak tacos. Food was delicious, fresh, and great portions! I would go back and recommend it to all”

“Best grow store I’ve been to in a long time. Flower Testing was quick. Fully stocked on anything you might need from a tent grow to a full room. The owner is also amazing and answered all my questions”

“The VERY BEST fried chicken I've EVER had. The corn fritters were like candy! And dont pass up the garlic mashed potatoes!! Dirty rice too? ON POINT!!”

“My fiancé and I went for breakfast at the Gurnee location yesterday. Both mens and womens bathrooms were out of order. No additional bathrooms for the employees!!! How can a restaurant be able to be open without facilities for patrons let alone the employees working an 8 hour shift!?!? Our waitress pleaded for me to call OCHEA!! She also said it is not the first time!!”

“Had a little confusion with some of the cookies we got but I called and spoke to Julia and she was So Kind so sweet so amazing, she helped my sister out and we got our orders. 10/10 best Crumbl cookie location and customer service”

“My hubby and I were drivin’ home from Michigan to Wisconsin and made it a point to stop at the Shawarma King in Gurnee (this was our second time, and y’all, it was just as amazing as the first). We had the chicken shawarma wraps with fries and that garlic sauce… Lord have mercy, it’s so good I’d put it on just about anything. The falafel was tasty, and the tahini sauce was the perfect match. The hummus was smooth and flavorful and had their special sauce in the middle and was served with their homemade pita bread! It was that soft, fresh pita—like nothin’ I’ve ever had. You can tell everything’s made right there in the kitchen with a whole lotta love for their customers. The gentleman runnin’ the place is just the nicest guy—genuine, kind, and proud of his food (as he should be!). We’ll definitely be stoppin’ by again next time we’re passin’ through.”

“Visited for breakfast a few days ago and had the best French toast I've ever had; they do their Cinnamon Roll French Toast right. Our server was super friendly, the kitchen was backed up a little but she made sure to check in frequently and keep us updated. Super cute inside too, definitely recommend for easy breakfast!”

“Stop in for the canolli and stay for the food.”

“We were visiting from out of town and were fortunate to find this lovely place to have a Mother's Day breakfast. The food was phenomenal as was the service. They were very busy but you would have never known it by the attentiveness and smiles from the staff. The flower they gave to all of the moms was a beautiful touch. I am a little sad I didn't go back before we left to bring food home with us. We will definitely be back the next time we visit the area and I will have a cooler ready to take some of the delicious food back with us. Thank you for making Mother's day so special!!”

“Man, where do I begin. The food is always top notch but the service at this location is on another level. I gotta shout out the cashier there, Ali, who answered all our questions, gave us quick service, and was extremely personable and patient with us while we ordered. Wingstop is always great, but Ali made our experience truly special.”

“Messed up my order.. but the clerk corrected it, without hesitation. It was a drive thru order, so I kept the and got my drink. Great service. Great Smiles. Great Window Crew.”

“The food was very good and it came in large portions. The staff members were polite and worked fast. It was a really cool atmosphere and I loved the pictures and stories displayed around the restaurant.Definitely would recommend. 5 out of 5”

“My favorite pizza in the area! Gluten-free friendly, amazing food and even better service. I had a large pickup order today for myself and my family and when I arrived the kitchen manager came out to describe that they had to restart one of the pizzas, offering to let me go now with the rest of my order - plus the messup free for extra snackage - and that he would come deliver the remake himself in a bit so I didn’t have to wait. The entire staff was so friendly, kind and accommodating during the pickup and communication process. If you haven’t had Kaisers, what’re ya doin??”

“i differently mrs fields cookiea general should more location mass and new york city and all states and city and town”

“The girl at the counter, was very nice. The receipt said her name was Emily. I ordered an oreo milkshake which was surprisingly more difficult to order than i had planned. Originally i ask the Rainbow Cone counter for an oreo milkshake only to find out they don’t do shakes but the Buona side does. Odd. However, i had to ask the nice cashier what a sweet treat bit milkshake was because the description for the item was “ vanilla milkshake with sweet treat bits”

As someone who’s never been to a Buona location before i had no idea what sweet treat bits are. It would help your customers to know what the ingredients are before purchasing. So if you’re like me and don’t know what the “ bits” are, it’s peanut butter cups and oreo pieces and one other candy that i can’t remember. And you can order each of those ingredients separately in a milkshake. Overall good experience slightly disappointed in having to go to the other counter and not clear ingredients.”

“You all never disappoint with the abundance of vegan options. LOVE everything I’ve ever had. This time I had loaded fries which were amazing! My entire vegan family loves Momcorn. The chips and salsa are the best ever!!”

“This was a good spot. The food was spot on and satisfied my cravings. While I gave it 4 stars I would definitely go back. I had the 2 proteins (salmon and spicy tofu).”

“Service was fine, portions a little smaller,but good. And STILL NO DIET ROOT BEER, which prevents my friends and I from coming more often!”

“Great staff, the bubble tea is a must have. Try it now if you haven’t done so 😊”

“Fast friendly and convenient location. Food portions are perfect forbthe price, staff very friendly and attention to detail in food orders. Will be going back.”

“Where do I begin? Welcoming atmosphere, clean restaurant, and attentive service. I'm not a margarita fan, but I thoroughly enjoy my strawberry margarita and would enjoy again! My fiancé ordered salsa and chips for an appetizer and we were both happily surprised with the fresh chips and tasty green salsa! After enjoying our appetizer we both ordered their three taco dinner special for taco Tuesday. My fiancé order steak tacos and I ordered a combination of chicken tinga, chorizo, and their house special campechano. Everything was amazing!!! My fiancé enjoys the spicier salsas and was offered a habenero red salsa. We sampled all three that was received and have nothing but good things to say about them all. Thank you for an amazing dinning experience tonight, can't wait to come back and enjoy a new dish in the near future! ☺️🌮🌯”

“I had to ask the server to change his gloves because I noticed the customer right before me ordered something I'm allergic to. He was very accommodating. And very nice about it.”

“I went to this place just today, the waiters were amazing, so kind and on top of stuff. The place is so big, and although they were busy, it was very sanitary. The food was amazing and had many options. The atmosphere overall was so great, everyone was so nice and it was decorated beautifully. Overall, I give this place a 10/10, definitely would recommend.”

“This is a solid pizza joint. I’ve ordered delivery 4-5 times. Good ingredients, speedy delivery and consistent results. Plus the delivery guy is a nice guy and seems genuinely proud of the pizza. I compare it to to Rosatis, but I like this better, and that’s with zero shade. In conclusion… if Jimanos is in your neighborhood hood, you should give it a chance. Ps the BLT Pizza was awesome. I feel like I invented it in 2002… But immediately thought it was better than the one I made. Only complaint… Too much bacon. But then I say that out loud and it sounds stupid. You can’t complain about too much bacon. That’s dumb. Everything that was supposed to be crisp was crisp and everything that was supposed to be hot was hot. Almost like a McDLT…”

“Thank you so much for everything you do and thank you for the healing foods. This is my favorite place!”

“Food Review: Robin Hood – Gurnee, IL

Nestled in the heart of Gurnee, Robin Hood may not yet be the most buzzed-about spot online—but what it might lack in web presence, it surely makes up for in character and service. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt like a well-loved local gem: warm lighting, congenial chatter, and a sense of community that’s rare to find.

But what truly made the evening shine was our server, Brianna. Attentive without hovering, she struck that rare balance of offering recommendations, anticipating refills, and knowing when to leave us to enjoy our meal. Her genuine warmth set the tone for the whole evening.

Brianna checked in at just the right times, with a refreshing sincerity—you could tell she cared. When I asked about a dish’s preparation, her response was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, as if she’d be excited for you to try it too.

In short: Robin Hood in Gurnee might be easy to overlook online, but it’s a place where thoughtful service meets solid, satisfying food. If Brianna’s energy is any indication, this is the kind of “hidden favorite” that deserves more recognition”

“I always love this place, the food here is always fresh made to order they always get it Right and they hire some of the most incredible people with great attitudes and exceptional customer service, the guys at this location was awesome!!!!!!!”

“Very, very good lunch menu! Family owned, I will definitely be back!!!”

“Must-Read-Review!
If you're a fan of flavorful and aromatic dishes, the Hyderabadi Biryani is a must-try. From the first bite, you'll be transported to a world of rich, vibrant spices and tender, perfectly cooked meat. This biryani boasts a harmonious blend of saffron, cardamom, and cloves, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. The rice is fragrant and fluffy, with each grain perfectly separated and infused with the savory depth of the biryani's spices. The garnish of fried onions and fresh coriander adds an extra layer of texture and freshness. Served with a cooling raita or a tangy salan, this biryani is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. Every aspect of this dish is executed with precision and passion, making it a true five-star experience.”

“Tried it for the first time today and holy mole was it good. The place is small but very well taken care of and very clean. I got the Bravo Burrito w/ steak and it was an excellent level of yummy spicy. Beans and rice were good, less salt than i am used to for a mexican place, but honestly liked that. Overall, i am so going there again and am excited to try other things.”

“Thanks for the wonderful confetti cake for Halloween 🎃”

“Delicious ham and ribs! We love both!”

“Food was good, mu daughter was amazed of sa fan andvthe decorations”

“Best burgers I have ever eaten. Gyro's are great. Try the chicken sandwich too.”

“Always a treat to stop by”

“Good fast casual food. Huge spuds 🥔, great sandwiches/soup/salads, & sweet tea.”

“Always a great treat whether I'm with the family or not and especially on a hot summer day/night, Cold Stone really hits the spot. But even when it gets cold out, still fun to go to even during a brutal Chicago area winter.This is probably the one ice cream parlor around compared to others that has a huge emphasis on toppings/creations which is definitely their strong point.Always a great selection of flavors between their regular year round and seasonal flavors, prices still seem reasonable although the high-end ice cream chain has never really been cheap and customer service remains consistently good in an always spiffy clean/sanitized atmosphere.CSC obviously does battle with competitors such as Oberweis up the road and Graeter's. When it comes to taste and quality, this place lives up to the price and my kids are well worth it anytime of the year.Only con (which doesn't drag down a 5⭐️ rating) about this place is the parking lot which can be greatly limited especially on wknd nights when nearby Giordano's gets packed. You may find yourself having to park east across the street from Starbucks and walking a bit of distance.”

“Clean and courteous, excellent soups and sandwiches”

“Thank you so much for everything you do and the amazing food!! I really appreciate the Vegan friendnly and Plant-Based choices!!”

“Great experience Owner of Comfort Gurnee recommended and even provided a gift card to try your ice cream !! He’s a big fan !!!”

“During our cross-country trip, my girlfriend and I visited Gurnee Mills Mall. Before leaving, we used a gift card to get Auntie Anne's. Although the gift card had a balance large enough to cover the food we ordered, the machine wasn't accepting it. Thankfully, the worker was helpful and understanding. He resolved the issue and made the situation good. The food we had was super delicious. I would give it a 5-star rating!”

“Friendly cashier. And the music is awesome 👏”

“Great food very clean and the workers are very nice”

“Jimmy gave us an amazing experience. He was very attentive and took care of our party of 8 himself and gave our bday boy a little song and ice cream! Thanks jimmy!”

“We finally got to try Paradise Pizza tonight at a private event. The pizza and the service were excellent!! We highly recommend!!”

“I am a tour director in Chicago. My company booked Giordanos on Belmont for 2 bus loads of high school students at 6pm. We unexpectedly got there at 5pm! Luis and his team were able to seat and serve us in short order. Thank you Luis and team. Giordanos pizza is the best!”

“loved my pumpkin pie blizzard. have to get one every year.”

“This is the literal greatest food on earth. If you disagree you should shove a letter opener directly through your head. Lord Jesus was reincarnated into a bucket of chicken and fries and came to this place. Everybody who is saying it is too slow it's because quality take time you uncultured swine. Greatest food of all time.”

“Went for my first time with my husband and friend tonight let’s say was amazing service and food. Shoutout to Samantha to be one amazing server, was very attentive on our needs and our orders. The food was hot and on point plus fast service. Also Chivis amazing host helping out Samantha and the rest making everything run smoothly. We will be back when we are in town. Best Mexican food in Burbs of Chicago.”

“Always friendly and fast.. Haven't had a bad experience here.. Peppermint Mocha Frappé...”

“Delicious food, friendly staff and great dancing 😊!”
