“Great food! Tried it on a whim when traveling from Chicago and the food is some of the best shawarma I've had in a while. The price for lunch is incredible for the insane amount you get as well!”

“Very kind staff. I wish that I could remember her name. Great service is definitely part of a "Best Around Me" experience!!! Dave's Hot Chicken is a Best Around Me, am I right?”

“Such a nice place to visit! Staffs are very friendly and always has an energy. The foods were excellent as well. I had bunch of rolls and I love salmon and the quality of the fish were so good. Very fresh :) I would definitely come here again”

“Delicious food with reasonable price!”

“I recommend everything on the menu. Baldarotta’s is incredible. I’m Italian myself and I’ve never had any Italian food more authentic than here. I’m also a relatively picky eater and I know with certainty that I could literally order anything on the menu and be shouting its deliciousness. And it’s even delicious as carry out or as leftovers when no longer technically “fresh.” A must try and you’ll absolutely return. We come from 40 minutes away solely to dine here.”

“Amazing food for a great price.”

“my new favorite place to eat in champaign”

“I had the bolgogi dinner plate for lunch today. Was the first customer through the door. The staff was attentive and gave out suggestions on what to get off the menu. The free side dishes are awesome and they make their kimchi in house. The cucumbers are definitely packed with a sweet and spicy kimchi. The bolgoi was very flavorful and was a huge portion size(shareable). Only thing I wish is if they had a lettuce wrap for it. All in all it is a great time and would highly recommend.”

“Wonderful food wonderful restaurant wonderful people”

“the beef stew and the pho was 10 and 10. Our server was Nine and she was super friendly.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Smith Burgers. We have had over half the items on their menu and have never found something we didn't like. My favorite 2 items are the Swiss N Shroom and Bacon Mac Attack Ripper. If you haven't tried them yet, do it. You won't be disappointed.”

“The funnel cakes were so good my son made us go back twice in the same day! He was so happy to have a safe version!!”

“Great food and plenty off it. Be prepared to go to Maple and Yolk hungry.”

“Food is delicious. Everyone is friendly! It is just a very nice calm and quiet vibe with incredible coffee. ☕️ The owner is a good person! Happy New Year 2026🥞🥚🍳☕️”

“Erica is the best waitress!”

“Lots of places to sit both indoors and outdoors! Friendly staff. I’m not a fan of beer (I came here for a social gathering), and I was driving anyway, but they had a good number of non-alcoholic options (free refills on most of these!) for a very reasonable price.”

“Shawarma, oh shawarma! I will never forget you. You were my ultimate ally during midterm season when I had zero time to cook. Hands down, they have the absolute BEST portions on the entire campus, and the food completely smacks! The owner is incredibly nice and generous, though the student workers he hires can be pretty funny. I’ll never forget the time a worker, definitely a student, was trying to impress a girl in line behind me while assembling my bowl. He was acting all smooth and charismatic, so I read the room and casually asked if he could hook me up with some extra falafel. He gave me seven pieces that day! 🤣🤣”

“We came here a few weekends ago and have been hooked since. Delicious food, attentive, kind staff and amazing atmosphere. I really am obsessed with the cheese shrimp balls and the pork soup dumplings!! The milk tea was also incredible and perfectly not too sweet.”

“We had a great experience here! The staff was really friendly and welcoming. My husband had a beer, and I ordered a flight so I could try a few different options. Every beer we tasted was delicious! They were smooth, flavorful, and not overly bitter, which I appreciated. We also had our kids with us, and they had a great time playing outside while we relaxed. It was a perfect spot for our family, and we’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the area!”
