“LOVE the Detroit pizza. Delicious thicker crust that doesn’t feel like you’re digesting a bowling ball when you’re done, as with some of the other famously known deep dish pizzas’. So happy to discover it. And the folks there are always, always so nice.“
“Not much needs to be said about the lantern! An institution. I appreciate that they keep updating their menu. Today’s special was Korean beef bulgogi wrap and it was declared delicious at the table. Also a patty melt and taco salad were consumed. Friendly local service.“
“Build your own bowl: start out with a base including purple rice or sweet potato noodles, can not decide? Go half and half.chooese a protein from steak, Korean BBQ, chicken, spicy chicken, or tofu. Extra protein is only $3 (perfect if you are splitting a bowl - which you could easily do). There are seven veggies, including kimchi, scrambled eggs, and cheese to add to your bowl, top it off with one of 6 sauces. Pineapple and avocado are premium toppings at $1.50 each. I found the Korean BBQ tender and flavorful. The broccoli is oven roasted, bringing ou the nuttiness. Seriously, two people can split a bowl or plan on lunch tomorrow. ? On the beverage station is a crock of hot Miso soup, it is included in with your bowl. I found the soup needed salt.“
“Super friendly and welcoming environment/ HUGE vegan menu - so excited for their vegan jibarito - it did not disappoint!!! Owner was amazing and staff as well. Cant wait to be back! Try the jicama juice and vegan empanada!Vegetarian options: HUGE VEGAN MENU“
“My husband and I went here for the first time! I heard about this place from my clients and decided to go for breakfast to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary, and everything was an A++++! I ordered a hot mocha with toffee and their specialty feta omelette. I was super happy that I was able to substitute the pancakes for crepes and the waitress was very accommodating and suggested I added toffee to my mocha, and she was right on the money! My husband got their OJ and it wasn’t from the carton, it was fresh! The color and taste was very fresh and bright! I can’t remember the name of his dish, but it was some kind of spicy Chorizo Benedict (I think). The food came out in 10-15 minutes, which was incredibly fast and SUPER DELICIOUS! The food was also well priced, the atmosphere was warm and inviting and as we headed out we could see their HUGE BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN and amazing juice/coffee bar at the entrance. The place was packed, but with the speedy spectacular service and fast delicious food/drinks you would think otherwise! Definitely coming back soon and recommending this to others!“
“Absolutely adore this place, visited with my family and they made us all feel very welcomed. They treat you like you’re their family. Bartender was very warm and attentive, even let us sample some high end whiskey before buying it. Loved the ambiance, it felt very cozy. Like something out of a movie. The food was pretty good as well. I’ll definitely be going back“
“Everything I have ever purchased from here has exceeded my expectations and when I bring donuts to work, everyone raves how good they are. Other than sub par chain donut places in the city, there are almost none that I know of in the NW side of Chicago that are as good as Deerfield's. I do not mind the drive bc I know Im getting the best donuts.“
“Our wedding cake turned out absolutely STUNNING and delicious. We received so many compliments on our cake because it was so good. It was definitely the best cake I've ever had. It was so fresh and turned out absolutely beautiful. They made the experience of designing our cake so easy and I trusted them throughout the whole process. Such a timeless design and the size was absolutely perfect. They exceeded our expectations and we will be going back for other goodies and may make it a tradition to order a cake for our wedding anniversaries. Highly recommend!! “

“The Onion soup was good, it was verry filling and tasted great, I would recommend to try it. The raspberry and strawberry tarts were also amazing, they are similar but each taste flavorful and delicious. I would recommend coming here the atmosphere is great, the food tastes good and the workers are nice.“
“Stopped by today on our way. Seating and service were very polite and fast. The most important thing is that the pancakes were not only beautiful, but also sooooo delicious! We have bookmarked the place for ourselves and will come back someday.“
“The owner Jay treats us like we are his own family. Every item from the appetizer entrees, sides, desert was delicious. We also carried out. Everything was packed well & no order was missingDelicious experience.Ask for Jay. He calls me DiDi - elder sister & he always takes care of us. My son & his girl friend loves the food at Aroma.Jay makes us feel like home.“
“It's Egg Harbor! Quality across locations is notoriously consistent. Good and interesting food selection, with stellar staples and a rotating menu of specials, plus periodic changes to their main menu.I have enjoyed Egg Harbor in other locations for decades and I have no complaints about this one. Staff is persistent cheery and imminently friendly. Food and ingredient quality is consistent and always on par with other quality brunch joints. You won't necessarily find the most experimental items in the world here, but they do push out some interesting specials.Prices aren't cheap, but always on per with restaurants of similar quality and actually have not increased as massively as others with inflation. They treat their staff notoriously well and I have personally seen a guy I like go from a busboy with low English competency to a floor manager. Gotta love that.Dietary restrictions: The staff is ready and quite willing to adjust menu items to accommodate any dietary restrictions they can. They aren't heavily focused on this and probably can't, for instance, guarantee they've eradicated all traces of gluten from most meals, but they are glad to do what they can with no stress.Parking: The parking lot is a bit of a pain to navigate due to its design, but you can park both in the front and back and you'll never find yourself lacking.Kid-friendliness: Egg Harbor is Notoriously kid friendly. I can't speak for kids who behave catastrophically poorly, but I went to another location for most of my childhood and they were both kind and accommodating.“
“Hansa always does such a great job! Their staff are so nice and I tend to love their seasonal lattes. I look forward to my Hansa mornings (or evenings) and like getting my work done in their cafe while enjoying their drinks. I do wish they had a loyalty program, though!“

“We have always gone to Lou's in Lincolnwood, but had family in town and Buffalo Grove was closest for them. what a difference, place was huge and the parking lot was great. It will be our new location for sure. Service was just ok. It was a Friday night and busy so the staff was not very attentive but the good is great so we can deal with that“
“Everyone who works there is awesome. One of the guys there gave me some game changing recommendations/modifiers to try in the breakfast burrito! Healthy and delicious. It’s pricier than I’d like, but that’s everything these days and you can’t beat the fresh ingredients found here. They’ve hooked a repeat customer!“
“This is an experience in classy dining. The service by Ana was very professional and friendly, sort of down home. This may sound contradictory, but it is not. I had Swedish pancakes, which are outstanding.Parking: Parking is next to the restaurant.“
“The food was delicious as always, and the service was great. Tina was an excellent waiter. The Alpine omelette had a lovely flavor and the Door County Melt with Gluten Free bread was remarkable. The coffee, however, tasted like it was on the burner too long. One of the pleasant features of coming to Egg Harbor was the flavor of the day coffee and we’re disappointed that they no longer carry that. The specialty coffees do not make up for that. As a plus, they have a gluten-free menu and offer it upfront.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free“
“On a whim, tried this restaurant while we were at great wolf lodge near by. Food was tasty and portions was huge. We ordered the spicy teriyaki chicken and salmon. ! Place was clean and service was great. I wish there was one closer to me. Will definitely come back when we are in the area.“
“Chic atmosphere and good quality food. We had a tofu appetizer and I got the barramundi for the entree. The presentation of the food is so nice and all tasty.Shakou is probably more known for sushi, as that is what many people were ordering.“
“This adorable bakery is just amazing. They were kind, responsive (even while taking a sick day), the cake was delicious,and the price was right. I reached out to Bent Fork after terrible experiences w lovin oven. Even with a short turn around time I got an amazing cake that was just what we needed. Everyone loved it esp my bday boy. And at cake pickup they told me “we just love what we do”.You have forever customer in me. I appreciate your amazing service and delicious cake so much!“
“Everything here is incredibly delicious! I guarantee that anything you try you will love! ☺️ I have been getting my cakes from Gourmet Frog for over 15 years, and from my wedding day to just because I was having a bad day and needed a little treat, it's always a hit! I can't recommend froggies enough! (What I endearingly call them ?)“
“Our server was very attentive. We always love coming here for lunch. One of the bus boys spilled a glass of water on me. He did not handle it great and barely apologized. The maitre d saw what happened and right away asked if we were ok and offered to comp our lunch, seeing how I was pretty drenched. It was super nice and exactly how I would have expected it handled. She was great. I know accidents happen but it was just too bad the bus boy didn't seem apologetic. We will of course be returning!“
“It was my first time here, but I had heard a lot about this establishment. Excellent service, recommendations on choosing cakes or pastries. While I was here, I noticed that a lot of regular people came. The atmosphere here is warm. Choice of coffee ☕️ or tea ☕️ - milk or cream. You can also pre-order for a specific date.Parking: We parked without any problems and were able to visit this wonderful place“
“Just like in life, everyone deserves a second chance. This is my third time at Sugarcoated and my second review. This time everything purchased was wonderful and as fresh as could be. My biggest surprise was the Old Fashion Oatmeal cookie, there are not your grandmother’s oatmeal cookies, these are amazing! I also feel a real good vibe from the owner who was very cordial and appreciative of my support. I will be back!“
“The place is cute and colorful inside with limited seating, and they have a few tables/chairs outdoors as well. As others have mentioned, it is pricy, but both bowls were delicious. We got the love-a-bowl and the OG açaí. I would definitely come back!“

“This is a great store with great health options. Seeing all these 1 star reviews because they don't require masks is kind of sad on the part of those leaving reviews. It's a private establishment - respect it or go home but don't write reviews behind a screen.“
“West Town Bakery opened another location! They have branched out to the suburbs and created an awesome space with a connection to OKAY dispensary. This place is awesome. The bakery continues to impress and by the way has the most FABULOUS gluten free selections, I LOVE the cake balls! There is also a very cool inviting lounge attached to OKAY which I highly recommend visiting as well. Now I hear they are expanding and opening a new location in Evanston in early 2024, can't wait to see that. Nice job West Town, keep up the good work, I will see you soon!Dietary restrictions: BEST gluten free baked goods EVER!“
“Great family, great food, always fresh, kind customer service and it is a clean facility. I love that it is so local to me. I am so very excited about the large location they have opened across the street. I'm happy for the family and happy for my tummy. I hope to spend many years in and out of that bakery/deli making excellent memories with my friend and family. Keep up the hard but amazing work. I stand with your company. Thank you for your service to our area.“
“This is the best Noodles & Company I have been to because of the service! The staff is incredibly friendly and warm, especially Zach. It seems like he has regulars that he knows on a personal basis. I briefly interacted with Ron as well and he was also very nice.“
“If there was an option for 6 stars I would give that for many reasons! First and foremost, they were great with allergies (dairy, egg, and gluten). The service was fast, food was AMAZING, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty awesome. Someone previously said she was intimidated by the lizard paintings but I loved them, lol. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! Thanks so much for making my birthday the best.“
“I cannot wait to go back! I was there with a large group and most impressive was the attentive service. I ordered a drink which the waitress remembered for the rest of the evening when I needed a refill. The food was outstanding and fun atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“I had battled some skin break out issues and decided to try clean diet. Purple sprout was there for me so I ordered meals for a whole week. Vibrant, high quality and made with love meals that are fair priced and delivered to your doors. Wide selection of rainbow colored fruits and vegetables with yummy healthy dips and sauces packed with all the needed nutrients. I feel light, energetic and healthy! Thank you very much for all your hard work and knowledge“
“Great little Thai food restaurant. The service was very good; everyone was helpful and accommodating. However, the food was the star of the evening!! I highly recommend that you eat here when you want Thai food for your next meal.Parking: Drive slow in front to find the right driveway. Parking is in the back and very tight.“
“I ordered the Sun three Bento box and salmon Kawa , and fried ice cream. My Husband had the spicy seafood udon. It was absolutely delicious! I definitely will be returning! For three people it was $88 and that included the food I ordered to go home! We have a ton of leftovers. Really an enjoyable experience.“
“The service, food product and preparation were all excellent as usual. On a Tuesday night at 7pm, there were only 3 other diners in the entire dining room, which was a bit eerie. Hopefully, the lack of diners was an exception, rather than business as usual.“
“I ordered an open-faced, roast turkey dinner. The stuffing was AMAZING, the mashed potatoes and gravy like home-made, and the turkey was tender and delicious. The best hot turkey (and stuffing) I've had. The Pick-up wait on a Friday night was 45 minutes! There was a guy in a hat meeting pick-up customers almost yelling, 'the foods not up yet. ' We all looked at each other, but good was outstanding.“
“Amazing food!!! Amazing service!! Me and my boyfriend loved it here. Our waiter Brittney p. was so sweet and patience ?. Definitely recommended getting the Korean fried chicken!!! Totally worth the money!! Also make sure to get cheesecake. YUMM!!!“
“George and Alyssa made us feel like family. Loved loved loved my lunch here today. The food was life-changing and the staff was so friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about what they’re doing in that kitchen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Consistent food! Our service was great because we had an outstanding waitress-Ashley who went over and above ! She was kind and attentive and gave great suggestions. Most of all she made our evening so enjoyable. Thank you for a lovely Birthday evening.“
“Sunday morning midday, I thought that there would be a wait for a table, but they were able to put us at a table by the kitchen/bathrooms. I've dined at Egg Harbors throughout the years and the menu seems pretty consistent although they did have a lot of new coffee drinks. My Bacado (bacon-avocado) omelette was fine, with a generous portion of avocados. This came with an English muffin and diced potatoes. My companion ordered the avocado toast and they said their over medium eggs were cold. Otherwise a fine breakfast. Our server made sure our drinks were filled and even offered to provide Togo containers for them. Easy to pay with QR code on receipt.“
