“We usually frequent another family-style Korean restaurant in Schaumburg - which we've loved over the years! Wanted to try something new for a change.Ambience is very cozy - booths (instead of an open space) with traditional touches!Food is DELICIOUS - let's get that out of the way!Some observations:* Salad/sides - tasty, free refills, 5 choices* Bulgogi and pork dish - lots of veggies used as fillers. My kids are 'carnivores' and as such don't eat any veggies. They see meat and attack! The amount of meat we get in each plate is very less.* They should have an option without veggies. We ended up buying 4 plates of bulgogi and 2 plates of pork - just for 3 adults and 2 young kids. One of them had miso soup and I had the bibimbap! Price is reasonable but with volume of less meat, it adds up.* They don't have individual miso soup bowls for kids. It's a large bowl with greens already in it. My kids HATE greens.* Wish there was a easy way to call the waiters/waitresses - no call button and with only 1 person speaking in English, you are at the mercy of that person crossing you or the other waiters passing the message! This also impacts how quickly they could bring things. For ex. we asked for the lettuce and miso paste at the beginning but got it towards the end!* Dessert was a nice suprising touch and we all loved it!Will definitely go back there...now that I know their menu and system better.“
“I never had Korean barbecue before. I was skeptical. Wow! 6+ stars. All the ingredients were fantastic. Flavors I’ve never had before. I highly recommend anything that says beef. John was the best waiter I have had in a long long, long time.??????Thumbs up“
“Great casual steak restaurant with Texas twist steaks are good tasty of good quality with loads of toppings options to modify hearts contentChicken fried steak and chicken are good optionsBbq ribs tender but sauce underwhelmingBread or rolls are tasty warm and fresh!Kid-friendliness: PerfectWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“First time in this restaurant! From tender ribs to smoky pulled pork and melt in your mouth brisket, every bite is a flavor explosion!! But it’s not just about the meat—the sides are equally outstanding. Jalapeños cheese corn bread out of this world!“
“We came very early for dinner. The sevice person was very warm and accommodating. The food was served in a timely manner. The table had as a couple of the entrees, a beyond burger and a walleye dish. These 2 dishes were absolutely remarkable. The fish was prepared perfectly. The burger was juicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back.“
“Big Lou’s loves Big Ange’s Eatery! Great vibe! Friendly and courteous service. Excellent food! I personally had the Reuben. Owner Rokko stopped by our table and introduced himself. We talked about naming our businesses after our parents, Big Lou and Big Ange! Ended our lunch with their homemade ice cream which was smooth, creamy and very tasty! Will definitely be back for more when the crew is on the road.“
“Always phenomenal bbq and ambiance! The owners are fantastic and always appreciate their customers. Have tried everything on the menu several times and have yet to have something I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. If you get the chance definitely attend one of their beer/bourbon/bbq dinners..super fun and delicious experience!“
“I didn’t get a chance to take a picture because I ate my food so fast ?. This was my first time trying their chicken. Everything was absolutely delicious. The employees were so friendly. The restaurant was so clean inside and out. I really enjoyed eating here!“
“I tried the Fire & Grill yesterday for take out order. I ordered 6-piece wings and fries in both Grilled and fried. I can say they were equally very good. Nice size and done just right. Juicy and good flavor with plenty of tasty fries. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They informed me that the grilled wings only 4 were ready and I could wait a few minutes for the other two but offered to give me a leg and thigh in its place if I did not want to wait. I took them up on the offer and the grilled leg and thigh was also very good. I will be ordering from here again. The only thing I would say is that I did not see a bathroom available for those that want to dine in and wash your hands afterwards.“
“Food was great. Traditional Korean food. (Pot stickers was not that great. Very thin)The place itself is very small and they have packed way too many chairs into this place. No elbow space.They would only seat you if your entire party is there. We were 5. But there isn't really a place for us to wait without being right on top of some other diners tables. A bit awkward.“
“Friendly staffs, Cozy and comfortable restaurant for family, couples, groups. Hot tea and water were offered once we seated Refreshing banchan were offered before our foods arrived, it doesn’t take long for our foods arrive. Crispy fried dumplings were good. Beef Raman noodles were not over cooked, The broth flavor was mild, but good. Beef bugogi was flavorful with rice on the side. Kimchee soup comes with noodles on the bottom side hot stone steamed rice along with the order. We all enjoyed our dishes. We get there right when they open. The place fills up quickly. Highly recommended.“
“Beautiful place with beautiful staff. Highly recommend marinated ribeye(number 14) and all dishes we ordered were absolutely delicious. Julie on staff was very kind and overall amazing experience. Highly recommended. Kimchi Fried rice and spicy chicken were also very good.“
“Our experience with the Weber grill exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, including ribs, pork chops, and meatloaf, all of which were delicious and generously portioned. Joshua provided exceptional service, especially in accommodating my wife's dietary restrictions. He went above and beyond by double-checking with the chefs to ensure her dish was prepared properly. Overall, it was a truly wonderful experience, and we look forward to returning next time we're in town.“
“Like most, we've had a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's Sauce in our pantry for years. I was recently tasked with finding a new place to meet up with friends. With the help of Yelp, I stumbled across Sweet Baby Ray's Restaurant. The BBQ was excellent, the Service was perfect, and the ambiance of the place is just as it should be. I'll be back again soon. If you are in the area and like BBQ, make sure you give them a visit.“
“Smitty's ale house is at the location of the old stores, the spirits bar not the strip club. They really did not change much from the outside. The new owners updated the bathrooms, looks like they expanded the kitchen and removed the dj booth. All probably good moves, based off of the history. The aaa staff was nice and engaging. The crowd for a bears Sunday was a lot lighter than the places previously iteration . That may be due to the bears sucking this year though. There was also less staff but enough for the limited crowd. For an ale works they had pretty standard beers on tap. Looked like only one rotating tap out of the 10 on the taps. Not a very deep option for beer needs. I do think any bar named Smitty's should have guineas on tap . I had the steak quesadillas. They were solid bar food. Overall thisplace is worth the stop but needs a bit more to stand out.“
“This is the best Greek village salad I’ve ever had. This is my favorite type of salad and usually the only type of salad I will eat. I got it from here a few weeks ago and have been thinking about it ever since….so glad I went back for it again today - YUM!!Their marinated meats for the grill are also delicious!!“
“Got seated immediately which was nice. Waitress was nice also. Ordered the Parmesan Chicken & 1/2 slab ribs with sauce on the side and the loaded sweet potato and Caesar salad. I would recommend ordering the ribs with sauce on the meat instead of on the side. Food arrived promptly, was warm and tasty as it should be. Parmesan chicken was good however I do enjoy the Parmesan encrusted chicken at Cheesecake factory more. Ribs were fall off the bone and tasty. Sweet potato was more like a delicious dessert than a potato as it was covered with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. What could be bad? Overall it was a delicious meal and I would recommend that you give them a try. You won't be sorry. Enjoy!“
“Lisa was great! She was taking all of the orders AND cooking all of the food too! The food was amazing and she even brought out some special bbq skewers that she made! Our first time there she made it so good, and we can’t wait to come eat there again! Thank you for great day!“
“Great food very fresh and plenty of protein!I've had beef and chicken bulgogi Only bad side no banchan sides at allHad to order a small side of Kimchi for $3 .. considering the plates are $15 or $16 it should be included otherwise everything else is great, have been here 3 times now during my lunch time“
“This has been my go-to shop for broasted chicken. Quaint little hole-in-the-wall place for good quality, fresh food. I have not yet had any negative experiences with their chicken, apart from maybe the occasional soggy bits on the otherwise crispy skin, but that could be attributed to the chicken steaming inside of the box during the car ride home, so it is best eaten as quickly as can be devoured to experience max deliciousness and freshness. I have been ordering take-out from them for several years and hopefully will continue ordering from them for several more years to come.“
“Ive been here a couple times with friends and with my girlfriend. Overall everything here is very good. The drinks and apps really stand out in my opinion and I wouldn't mind just stopping in here for the drinks alone. Here's my break down.Drinks:•Thai Iced Tea- hands down best Thai iced tea I have ever had. Easily a 10/10. My gf and I loved it.•Vietnamese iced coffee- reminds me of those Starbucks drinks you buy in glass bottles at gas stations but much better. It's a great pick-me-up•Cherry pomenade- both my gf and my friend really enjoyed this drink and I thought it tasted great too. Another solid choice.Apps:•egg rolls- amazing, I could eat a hundred of those things. Definitely can tell they're made fresh. The sauce it comes with is great too.•spring rolls- great and very fresh. The sauce it comes with is very good too.Wings- very good as well. I prefer the honey soy sauce.Main:•again everything here has been good. I havent had nearly as much if this menu yet though.•Bun Bo Hue - is a definite highlight and my personal favorite. It has a little bit of kick and great flavor.•Short Ribs - my friend had these and he gave them a 8/10• Vegetarian Pho- my gf had this and gave it an 8/10•pho tai- solid choice as well but I much prefer the Bun Bo Hue.Service:I've read a few comments about service being slow but it's never felt that way to me. They're always super nice. Last time I was there it was Jeremy serving our food and he's amazing.“

“5 star food and service every time. Tonight we had the pleasure of being waited on by Lupe. Lupe is very passionate making sure he provides excellent customer service for his guests. He knows the menu and explained it in great detail at our table. He offered suggestions when asked and the suggestions were spot on. We started with the corn bread which was warm and the soft butter only made it better. For dinner most of our table had ribs. The ribs were cooked to perfection with the sauce ratio being spot on. You can taste the freshness of the ribs let me tell you, delicious! A few ordered the NY Strip steak with the added optional char, it was amazing. For dessert our table shared a few sundaes and the brownies a la mode. OMG, what a way to end the perfect dinner! Thank you Lupe and all the competent staff for a great dinner. Stop in and ask for Lupe! He will make your dinner or special occasion extra smooth!“
“The new owner is young and ready to turn this place around with some good and fresh ideas. Always nice to see a local owner put love and care into the business. I ordered their marinated skirt steak with grilled onions and the bread was super fresh. Highly recommend as I now know I can pick up their premade skirt steaks to make for Shabbat or one night during the week!Parking: Number of parking on main central street. Parking in back near Anthropology“
“Food was good, got the peanut butter burger and had good flavor. Next time i'll be adding onions and pickles on it as I got it the way it came. The pretzel bites were absolutely delicious. If you're a pretzel lover then you have to try these. I got honey mustard on the side as an option instead of the beer cheese. The service was good, but I would've liked to have been told that getting sweet potato fries instead of regular fries was an extra charge. When the options were listed it sounded like it was all an even substitute. The atmosphere was exactly what you would expect, looks like a pub with televisions everywhere and nice folks around.“
“Bub City ORDOne of my go to places when flying in and out of Chicago.I usually get the grilled cheese and haven’t been disappointed yet.If you luck out and go on Friday and Saturday they have live bands.Make sure you try the house honey whisky it will make you wanting to keep coming back.We stopped in on a Thursday afternoon and it wasn’t too busy, server was friendly and the food was quick.Looking forward to my next visit next time I’m back in the Chicago area.Vegetarian options: It’s a BbQ place maybe the coleslaw ?Parking: Parking garage“
“For a chain steakhouse, the food was still really good, though the margarita was a bit on the harsh side. The food was well seasoned, and cooked to my requested level, with good sides.The service was a little slow, but the server was friendly. I would say that for a nice steakhouse, it seemed a little noisy.“
“We order the Sampler with the half Alabama Chicken (with skin so crispy and flavorful it makes bacon jealous), brisket, pulled pork, sausage, pulled chicken, corn bread, French fries, Texas Toast, Brussels sprouts, and picked veggies. Easily can feed 3 to 4 people.“

“My family and I love coming here! Kid friendly, super clean here and we are always greeted sweetly by the owners and staff and they are so accommodating! One of our go to restaurants. We are always craving their food since there are a lot of tasty options~Few of our top favs!Honey garlic and gangjeong have been the top flavors fried chicken for us, perfect amount of spice and flavor and the chicken is nice and crunchy on the outsideTheir boneless options are good too pleasantly juicy on the inside with a nice crispy texturerose ddeok-bokki- the rice cakes perfectly cooked not too chewy not too hardperfectt texture and the flavors are so delicious. If you don’t have a high spice tolerance this can be a good alternative for you instead of regular ddeok-bokkiKimchi fried rice- delicious can’t go wrong ordering this dish here!We like to order fries and pickled radish with our chicken and it’s byob as well so you can enjoy a nice cold beer all together best combo!! (chi-maek) ❤️“

“It’s amazing place that offers trivia on tuesday’s, the food is top notch; I highly recommend the snake bites….breakfast is top notch open from 7am -10am. “Mai Tais” are always on point if you like to drink & most importantly you can watch all chicago sports if you ask me that’s all you need for a bar/restaurantKid-friendliness: better during the day but always welcomed“

“My daughter and I traveled from DC to Chicago for a cheerleading competition. We decided to try Porky's... I am not making this up, hands down the best BBQ I've had in years. The combo sandwich with brisket and pork, is phenomenal. The Porkys Beans with brisket, left me speechless. Outstanding customer service to go along with the great taste. Honestly wish I lived in the area, so I could eat here more often.“
“I stopped in for dinner at Famous Dave’s on March 28th with a couple of buddies. I’d never been and had to try their bbq - and it was delicious! Highly recommend the brisket nachos, and if you go on a Thursday, their Rib Tip platter is fantastic.The service was incredible too. If you go, ask for Steph. She made sure we were taken care of, went out of her way to share her recs, and even brought the manager by to say hello - really cool guy! Couldn’t have asked for better service.Will definitely be back soon!“
“Came here on Sunday, March 3rd 2024. Service was great but a bit slow. The restrooms need to be deep cleaned. Super gross stuff on the sink, no hand soap available, toilet was dirty and bathroom floors felt a bit sticky. The food, however, is amazing. I see why people rave about it. Great quality and taste amazing! Just wish the bathrooms were cleaner!“
“Delicious BBQ and Greek food! Friendly service, caring owners, great neighborhood place, been going to BBQ Pit since 1990 and it's always a treat! It's also great to go before or after a (an earlier) movie at Wayfarer! It's also fun running into your friends there!“
“Hands-down my favorite place to eat whenever I am not over 20 mins away I stop by to get a steak sandwich. I literally bought a charcoal grill and that's the only way I grill now is because of this place because that flavor that the charcoal gives nothing else compares. I don't know if any other place that uses a charcoal grill. It's a literally just steak on French bread no sauce no toppings and it's the best thing ever because of how they marinate it and grill it on a charcoal grill. The sauce they have on the table is the best sauce I've ever had I don't know how to make it but I want to know it goes amazing on the fries and I loaded up on the sandwich to the fries and coleslaw and salad are excellent as well. The jumbo fried shrimp are amazing Family owned Greek restaurant doing things the old-school way can't compare this place has been around for over 50 years I believe always a bunch of people I'm sure everything else is delicious too but I've just never not wanted their steak sandwich to try anything else and it's what I recommend for everyone you will not be disappointed. Warning, though you will not enjoy your steak sandwich. Anywhere else after you've tried one of theirs unfortunately, I found that out every other place disappoints after having one of these.“
“Great nangmyun and bibimmyun combo w galbi! The cold noodle soup and spicy buckwheat noodles were delicious and authentic. It's nice to have an option to order other dishes if you decide not to go w the all you can eat bbq, which looked good. Will want to try next time!“
“I have never been to Longhorn Steakhouse. The food was good. Everything was cooked perfect and our service was on point for the restaurant being busy.Parking: Normal parking lot for this type of place. Plenty of spots when we went.Kid-friendliness: Family style environment“
“Ok, so I've never had anything like this before. The food was really good!! Took about 30 min to make. So I know it's all fresh!! Very nice staff!! At first I was questioning the price but wow it's a lot of food lol. The only thing I'm gonna do the next time is ask for extra sauce. That stuff was awesome!! Remember everyone, this is a food establishment that cooks everything. I'd rather know I'm waiting for awhile to get great food then to get food that may get microwaved and givin to me in 10 min. I'll be back soon!!“
“Amazing food, exceptional service and an interesting atmosphere to say the least. I love this place and go fairly often. This is the kind of place everyone should experience once. They don’t accept reservations so if you come during the dinner rush be prepared to wait for close to an hour.“
“Drove 35 minutes to eat here, but was skeptical about how good it would be. I left with a full carryout order of 1/2 chicken for tomorrow, after finishing a 1/2 order at dinner today! Absolutely delicious, and not to mention, very kind owners!“
“EVERYTHING I'VE ever ordered from here has been nothing short of amazing!!! The food is ALWAYS hot & fresh!!! I usually order my pizza's and beef & sausage sandwiches from here BUT I went outside the box this time and ordered a full slab of ribs and holy schnikeys!!!! These ribs are juicy,tender and flavorful!!! Add another meal to the list of awesomeness!!!! Everyone is pleasant & friendly!!! You've got a lifer for a customer here!!! Keep up the good work,guys & girls!!!“
“The food was really good but not excellent. The corn pudding lacked flavor. It was almost like damp cornbread mixed with corn kernels but no flavor. The pulled pork was good but almost cold when served. I'll definitely try it again because we went when they first opened, and it was a Monday.Kid-friendliness: Large open space as long as you don't let your kids run wild and they will have a good time.Wheelchair accessibility: It's all on one level , with easily accessible doors and parking.“
“Personally to me the BEST BBQ in Lake County hands down !! You have a great selection of meats to choose from and the portions are fulfilling.. The meats here are smoked to perfection with flavor in every bite. You have a variety of sides to choose from, my favorites are the creamy spinach and the Mac and cheese. Nice size portions to go with your meat. Let’s not forget the pickles, THEY ARE A MUST! Sweet but tangy crispy crunch, go hand and hand with your bbq.Surprisingly today it was not as busy as your would expect for it to be a Saturday afternoon, but that meant no line for me and I was not complaining.The prices are worth the portions but be prepared to spend if you have the appetite !Parking: Shared parking lot with neighboring businesses“
“The first time we stopped in they were out of almost everything except sausage. Not a great first impression and we left to find something else to eat.I was determined to get some barbecue though so we tried again. On the second visit we shared the Judge's Sampler.The chicken had a nice sweet sauce. Pulled pork was nicely cooked with a good bark. She loved the brisket, I liked it okay.The ribs were meaty and had a fantastic bark. I loved them but she wasn't as impressed because of a piece of gristle. Picky.The tater salad was pretty good and the collard greens were delicious and perfectly seasoned. They even made me homesick for the south. The cornbread was bland but perfectly baked.The place is bright and open and everyone is friendly. The tables were sticky though and she found some silverware that was still greasy. Some of the food was hot and some of it was cold, like it wasn't all cooked at the same time.Five stars for the meats, six stars for the ribs. Ten stars for the greens. Minus points for the sticky tables and dirty silverware. Another minus for not having any hot sauce on the tables. What kind of self-respecting BBQ joint doesn't have Crystal or Tabasco on the tables? A great one has both, plus a bottle of pepper sauce.“
“First time diner, but not last time!Food was plenty full, had great variety, and was very tasteful!Service was efficient, guide me through the menu!It's the first meal, but not the last!The food was filling, very varied and very delicious!Service was efficient, please direct me to the menu!“

“I love this place+ the moment I heard Galbijjim was on the menu! You know how hard and rare it is to find this delicious dish? Everyone needs to try it at least one..level 2 spice was perfect! The beef intestine was really fine taste! Very clean and satisfying! I will be back to try the other items on the menu!“
“I just ate a fried pork chop dinner, preceded by a salad and fresh-baked bread with butter, followed by a hot fudge sundae, for twenty bucks total. It was served in 3 courses. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked and in perfect proportions. Pork chop came with real mashed potatoes, tender soft carrots and green beans. The hot fudge sundae really impressed my neighbor at the bar and I ate all of that too but I will say the ice cream was a bit freezer burnt. Everyone should just order dessert more often. Awesome dinner, thanks so much“
“Best experience with food, service, and catching up with your loved ones (friends/family) and wasn't rushed to be kicked out. I think theres a timer, but like I said, they let us enjoy our atmosphere and keep bringing the food without us saying. Great service team, they were all on it as if they were our older relative who we hadn't seen in years and kept us happy by bringing dish after dish. I'm definitely coming back more often now that I discovered this spot. I wish I had known this place.“
