“Food is always great and their service is amazing. They have an extensive menu with everything from great appetizers to traditional Japanese desserts. Good selection of drinks both regular and adult. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and service. You can depend on having a great experience!”
“My husband and I had lunch today for the first time. The atmosphere was very nice and our waiter Louis was exceptional. The food was delicious. We were also told that to reserve space there that holds up to 80 is $200. I thought that is very reasonable. I highly recommend Olivia’s for a wonderful dining experience”
“This is our family's favorite restaurant for birthdays, anniversaries, dinners with large groups...At this point we've been here probably 10 times and never once have we had a bad experience. Every server goes above and beyond to ensure that you have a WOW experience. The food and drinks are amazing every time. Last night we decided to try somewhere new since we just ate at Primo the previous weekend. The prices were the same yet the service and food did not compare. From now on we'll stick with here, where we know we'll have an amazing experience.”
“Atmosphere + fantastic food + excellent service = my Stevens experience. Whether in the cozy dining room or at the large oval bar, it's a great experience. The staff is professional and friendly, even Leslie the owner spent time with us. I would give it 10 stars if that was an option. Have been there several times and never disappointed”

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.”

“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!!”

“As an out of country guest, I have been a patron with every visit to this great part of the country. The quality and flavour of all the offerings, together with the fantastic service throughout, and the family atmosphere makes this a gem deserving of all the accolades. Freshly squeezed orange juice, skillets, benedicts, omelettes, sandwiches, waffles, Greek yogurt, and of course the namesake pancakes! The list goes on and on! May God bless everyone involved in running this fantastic staple in the community. Do not miss out on trying it out and returning again and again!”
“Walked in to pick up my order and was attended quite fast. My food wasn't ready but it didnt take long. The cashier was kind and welcoming. I ripped open my bag in the restaurant to check if they had put my Culver sauces in there because other locations dont put them in, but this location did and im very great full for that because I pay .50c each for those. It may not be a lot of money, but it's still a payment that im making for a product. I hope I didnt offend the workers. Would order from here again, i'd just rather use the drive-thru”

“I had a mango habanero Margarita which was fantastic. If you like spicy I recommend definitely trying that out. It paired wonderfully with chips and salsa. The bartender was very accommodating and had great recommendations. She knew what she was talking about creating a wonderful experience for my wife and I. This place would be a fun place to bring friends and family to hang out.”
“Crumbl Cookie never disappoints! Every time I walk in, the store smells amazing and the staff is super friendly. Their cookies are always warm, soft, and full of flavor. I love that the menu changes every week because there’s always something new and exciting to try. The presentation is so cute, and the pink box makes it feel like a little treat every time.
My favorites so far are the chocolate chip and any of their seasonal flavors — they’re always perfectly baked and taste homemade. If you have a sweet tooth or just want to brighten your day, Crumbl is definitely the place to go! 🍪💗”
“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??”
“This is by far the best wingstop i’ve ever visited. The employees are fantastic & always get my order right. I walk in and they already know my order. They are on point and I highly recommend this wingstop.”
“MOST DEFINITELY AN ALL 10/10/10/10 FOR DINING AND THE ATMOSPHERE IS AMAZING AS WELL AS ALL THE STAFF !!!!!!!!!”

“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.”
“We really enjoyed the new location in Gurnee! The food was amazing and our server Emily was so friendly and attentive even tho it was busy 🌟 Paul the manager made rounds which was very nice 👌 Thanks again Emily for the wonderful service and warm goodbye 👋 We’ll definitely be coming back tho 💫”

“The spicy crab poké bowl was lacking spicy crab, although the kimchi made up for it. Chicken fried rice was very tasty but not enough as a meal. Charsu was very fatty. Beef shoyu ramen was ok. The two slices of beef were a little tough. I liked the tasty broth, with lots of ramen, but I would have liked some kimchi or other pop of flavor.”

“Everything about today’s visit was great, the staff was friendly, the food was fresh and hot, the beverage area was clean and fully stocked along with all the condiments fully stocked.
The dining room was clean and well organized even the bathroom was spotless.
Big plus the ice tea was fresh and not bitter and old like I would normally be served at other McDonalds locations
Great job team Gurnee!”
“The food is really good, seasoned well and not just thrown together. Their customer service is always great and they always are friendly to everyone who comes in.”

“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.”

“I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! They went above and beyond to take care of my veteran fiancé for Veterans Day, (even though we were a day late in being able to visit), taking care of us like family, from the regional director to all the restaurant staff. The food was terrific and my fiancé loved everything; the food, the staff, and the military/first responders decor, and the respect given to veterans. They even put his picture from his Army service days on their wall, which gave him a huge smile when he saw himself displayed on their wall along with photos of so many other veterans. And even though we don't live nearby, we will make it a point to visit them every time we get the chance to. Thanks again to everyone there!!”
“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.”
“If you’re looking for a fantastic place with great value and delicious food, you’ve come to the right spot! MOD has amazing salads and perfect pizzas, plus endless toppings without any extra charge. Kids under 12 can enjoy free meals on Sundays. The Mod Squad is friendly, helpful, and always puts the customer first. The restaurant is well-managed, and the food is fresh and delicious.”

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

“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…”
“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.”
“Best fast food burgers, also most expensive fast food burgers .
Fresh cut fries are preftct .They gave you so much fries , order a small one is enough!
It is worth the money , I got similar burger from other fast food places , few dollars cheaper, a lot smaller and 1/2 quality!”
“The food isn’t bad, it’s just expensive for what you get but you’re paying for the convenience of not leaving Great Wolf. There’s Dunkin, McDonald’s and other breakfast restaurants for cheaper if you’re willing to leave Great Wolf.”
“This place was good but not the best. The fried garlic bread app was just amazing but the pizza just sort of fell flat. Definitely not that impressive but our server was fun and kept things interesting.”

“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 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!”
“The menu at Go Fresh Café is a treasure trove of healthy and delicious options. From fresh salads to gourmet sandwiches and wraps, there was something for every palate. I decided to try their signature quinoa bowl, filled with a vibrant mix of vegetables, protein, and a flavorful dressing. Every bite was bursting with freshness and perfectly balanced flavors.”
“For an amusement park, the barbecue was actually pretty good. The steak was smoked well such that it was tender and flavorful although I needed some barbecue sauce to kind of round out the flavor. The mac & cheese was super creamy and the corn muffin was actually delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness, and the right texture to it. This is included in your meal plan so check it out if you’re walking by.”
“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.”
“Walked by to look at the menu on a whim. I wasn't going to order anything until the gentlemen working there offered me and my sons a free sample and then another. And I'm so glad he did. All 3 of us loved it. Teriyaki chicken, sesame chicken, fried rice were all amazing. Now a favorite place of ours that we will stop at any time we're in Gurnee.”
“Not sure why the last few reviews were negative. Had a positive experience. Our server Noe was great; attentive and kind. And food was good along with the convenience inside Great Wolf. Wife and I had the steak and salad, more than satisfied with the flavor. Lastly, my kids had a great time.”
“Tucked conveniently inside the mall, this spot was a great find for my first visit! I tried the mango boba shake—while the flavor was definitely there, it tasted a bit more like syrup than fresh, authentic mango. That said, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! Honestly, this place is so good it deserves its own standalone storefront. Moving outside the mall would give them so much more freedom with their hours. I’ll absolutely be back for round two!”
“The food are so 😋 yummy , the service is great 👍 & affordable price”

“Such a cozy and welcoming local spot! 😊🍽️ The food is really tasty, and there’s a nice variety of options to choose from. I especially enjoyed the selection of fresh salads, delicious sandwiches, and tempting sweet treats. 🥗🥪🍰 A great little place to stop by for a satisfying meal or something sweet. Definitely worth checking out! ✨👍”
“Something new in the Mall food court! Staff is so friendly and talkative, love them! They have truly great selection of unordinary pizzas. You have to try ordering from the menu! Ready slices are good, but freshly made mouthwatering pizza is so much better. I tried pear pizza, was very impressive, chef's creation, but my best favorite is vegetarian pizza. Will be back soon. 👌”

“This is one of my favorite places to go to with friends, because I love boba, donuts, and apparently, Korean corndogs. They have a wide variety of all of the above, and the donut flavors change regularly. Last time I came, they added a LOT more baked goods, which could spell concern for less quality later, but I still bought a pistachio croissant and it was delicious. Everything is really pricy though, but it’s personally a luxury expense for myself.”
“Great atmosphere and Taylor always takes care of her customers!”
