“I am a foodie and hail from New Delhi, India. I can definitely vouch for this restaurant being not only the best Indian restaurant in Chicago but in all of North America. The owner Mr. BK Bajaj is kind and a great chef with compassion and cooks food as if you’re his guest at his home with love.Will definitely come here every time I visit Chicago. And definitely be here tomorrow again.“
“I love playing trivia at Hot Pockets on Mondays. Gabby is the best server, she always is checking in and making sure everything is okay! My cat (pencil) was stuck in a tree and she invented a flying device to grab him. In addition to this, she gave 50 orphans wheels of cheese out of the goodness of her heart!“
“I tried out this place recently, and the pizza was pretty good! I didn’t love the mozzarella sticks and the sauce that came with -on the sweeter end. The restaurant is old-fashioned but very put-together and clean, and the service was outstanding. They have daily specials, including half-off pizza on Wednesdays and Saturdays!“
“interesting pub that has all the normal pub fare - but also some unusual stuff like saganaki, buffalo chicken pizza, and southwest fish tacos. Service was great for me and my friend. Can sit at the bar or at high-top tables. They even have salads and burgers that are much better than usual.“
“We found this bar a while ago and really dont want to go anywhere else now. Food is great along with the service and plenty of parking. Highly Recommend!Parking: This place has huge parking in the back and on side of the buildingKid-friendliness: Place is family friendlyWheelchair accessibility: All bathrooms and space is ADA compliant“
“This place seemed as if it was an upscale sports bar. Plenty on tvs to view games, but above that was the food! I was very surprised at how everything tasted, making me savor that last bite. Cocktails ? were pleasant and just the overall presentation. If you are in the area, definitely make a stop and try this place. The fried alligator was a hit!!“
“Dear Jimmy D's, We cheated on you today to go try the bird's nest for lunch. I'm eating the buffalo wrap right now & it pales in comparison to yours. Whoever reads this, don't go to Bird's nest to "see if it's good." Instead, just keep going to Jimmy D's, where the service is great & the food is always delicious. Again, we're sorry we cheated on you to try Bird's Nest. We love you Jimmy D's. Sincerely, The people with the small children & the grandparents that come in all the time.“
“A Chicago-style 'beer before' and 'beer and a shot' after work drinking establishment. Wonderfully unpretentious with excellent bartenders. We spent most of our time drinking, so no complaints on the price. Washrooms could use a little more attention, but not a deal breaker.“
“I like the food at this bar delicious and the excellent servers. The only reason I give this place a 4-star is the fries. For some reason, they are always super salty.The chicken tenders are super good and a must-try, crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside.“
“This bar has the look of a no frills sports bar but the food is definitely top notch. Everyone in my party had really good food but the best thing we had was the Chicken Skewers. I normally would have taken a pic of the food but when it came out, I honestly wasn't thrilled because it looked like they were going for a deconstructed look and it wasn't what I was expecting. The saving grace was that it was large portions for an appetizer. BUT.... The food was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I normally do not eat chicken breast but what I was served was very juicy and flavorful. I was half way through my plate when I realized I should have taken a pic. Everything else I had was good but those skewers is what will bring me back for sure. I'll add photos next time!“
“Throw away your low expectations of "Bar Food" because this place has the BEST Food! Creative ideas that really pay off. Add in the fun bar activities like Karaoke and of course bowling and you have a great evening out. Bar Down and Popular Creek Bowl provides an exceptional and memorable night out. It's a place where you can enjoy top-notch bowling, belt out your favorite tunes during karaoke, and indulge in gourmet-quality food and drinks. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I'll definitely be returning for another night of fun at this amazing establishment.“

“Honestly was a little nervous when I saw how little people there was and how extensive their menu was. We only got the golden shrimp (appetizer) and sushi items. So nothing from the grill side. But everything we got tasted really really good. Would like to go back when the terrace is open because I feel like the ambiance would be a little better out there“
“An absolute gem of a local neighborhood bar and bowling alley. Eight lanes of bowling with some of the original Brunswick automatic pinsetters, top ball return, and manual scoring (there are free apps available for scoring if you so desire). $6 per game and $2 for shoes (as of this posting February 2024), an absolute bargain. They have a full bar with 12 tap beers including a good selection of local craft brews (plus myriad bottles selections), and over 100 types of liquor, including flavored vodkas, whiskeys, rum, tequila, and everyone's favorite Malört. Wine is limited to individual serve bottles. The staff and owner are absolute legends, quick with their service and phenomenal personalities. They do not serve food aside from a few bags of chips, however, they do encourage ordering in. Joe's Pizza just down the street makes some of the best thin crust tavern cut pizza you'll ever enjoy. A pool table and TouchTunes jukebox are available as well. Outdoor seating is a great way to relax on those warm spring and summer days.“
“Awesome food. I was told that this place had phenomenal food and I was not disappointed. The food was awesome. Burgers i highly Recommend but what made it better was the service and atmosphere. Diana was one of the best host ive had the blessings to have serve us. All the tvs playing sports inculding college wrestling. Not many sport bars have on wrestling. Thank you for the great time woodys“
“Hubby and I loved this place! Ashlee is a great bartender and makes your experience most memorable! The food is great and the drinks are superb! Had a great time with the regular patrons, they made us feel very welcome and glad we stopped by. Cheers!?“
“We went last night for a work outing here. Luke was our waiter and was very attentive and friendly. The choices in games were fun and the food was good. The only thing that could’ve made it better was having booked our bay for more than 2 hrs because it was really fun (we know better for next time).“
“I cannot believe that no reviews or comments have been made about this business! They have great servers/bartenders! They have beanbag tournaments during nice weather months. Their food is outstanding! I had one of THE BEST corned beef sandwich on St Patrick's Day I've ever had! They have video gambling, which is fine if that's your thing. Outdoor bar is nice during warmer weather! Parking is enough for their size. It's unique inside with authentic plane parts, including helicopter landing gear for the bars kick plate. Jimmy the owner is very friendly and will buy you a drink/shot when he's there and his son, Chase, is a fabulous cook! Conveniently located minutes from O'Hare airport!“
“Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and Enzo's was PACKED! Every table and every seat at the bar had someone sitting in it. We had two Wood Fire Pizza's (Cheese add Pepperoni and Sausage - $14 & "Pepperoni" from the menu - $18). Honestly don't know what the difference was between the two other than Honey Drizzle, but for $4.00 more? Not worth the added cost in my opinion, just order a cheese and add the Pepperoni. Pizza's were slightly undercooked (soggy bottom) but baked just right on top and really delicious! Good ratio of sauce to cheese and toppings. Pizza's could easily be split between two people or taken home for leftovers. Daughter had burger and it was a good size, more than she could eat! Since there was some left, took a few bites and was pleasantly surprised in the seasoning and overall taste. Will be something I will order in the future for sure. Side salads were also a good size (Garden w/ Ranch and Caesar). The Ranch is more of a Buttermilk Style and was decent, not great. The Caesar was really good! So why four stars? It's LOUD! Like hard to hear the person sitting across from you loud. Not loud from TV's or music (music was a decent volume) but it's from everyone talking. There isn't anything to damper the sound and think this is one area they should look to try and resolve. Will go back for sure and glad to see this place buzzing!“
“Every bar has a gimmick. Nowadays a lot of them getting too gimmicky. Not this place no gimmick. Hard to find in Chicago.Tried to drink all of their $4 tall boy PBR. The chicken quesadilla, how I got me and my coworker home. If I wasn’t in town on business I would’ve drank all their $4 tall boy PBR.In all seriousness, was told they were under new management. Obviously it’s working. Staff was entertaining, locals were non stop entertainment, food was crème de la crème of bar food.“
“I dined here for the first time tonight and had a bartender named Kerry serve me. Kerry was a beautiful perfect princess and the most wonderful angel that ever lived. I had the sliders with chipotle ranch dipping sauce and several beers. It was a truly perfect experience. Kerry should be given a raise and receive lots and lots of unending praise. Thank you TWood!“
“Been going to Local since September 2023 and I absolutely love this place. The food is amazing especially the pizza and potato skins and other wraps! I look forward to Thurs Karaoke, but am disappointed that the Dj Drose was fired. He made the experience so exciting and fun. I hope they can bring him back!“
“Friendly Bartenders and amazing drinks is why we come back. Our 3rd visit was welcoming and friendly. The hot honey wings is our favorite as as the sweet hot chili flavor. Bartender went and checked on the guests out in the patio. Felt taken care of. Good job guys!“
“Violet's Gaming Pub: A Great Place to Relax and Have FunI recently had the pleasure of visiting Violet's Gaming Pub in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. I was immediately impressed by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, and they went out of their way to make sure I had a great experience.The food was also delicious. I had the chicken parmesan, which was perfectly cooked and served with a generous portion of pasta. The service was quick and efficient, and the prices were very reasonable.But the real highlight of my visit was the gaming. Violet's has a wide variety of games to choose from, including arcade games, pinball machines, and even a few video games. I spent hours playing my favorite games, and I never felt bored or restless.I would highly recommend Violet's Gaming Pub to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing place to spend an evening. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the gaming is top-notch. I can't wait to go back!Special Shout-Out to Bryan the BartenderI would be remiss if I didn't give a special shout-out to Bryan, the bartender. He was absolutely fantastic! He was so friendly and attentive, and he went out of his way to make sure I had a great experience. He even gave me some great recommendations for games to play.If you're ever at Violet's, be sure to ask for Bryan. He's the best!“
“The service was incredible an employee let us have at least one free game because me and my friend are new to the location and it was awesome. The ambience is phenomenal. I love all of the racing games that are VR or motion based also the Godzilla VR was incredible and also a lot of of these games that are not at Rosemont is incredible even though we didn't have any of the food at this location I probably would consider going back and having food I would recommend this Dave & Buster's location over the Rosemont one Schaumburg has the better one“
“This place is an absolute staple of elk Grove local pizza, their sauce is the best in the surrounding towns, and I have tried a lot. I pick up from Munchies as often as I can even though I have moved further away because nothing near me gers even close to how good their pizza is. Their pan pizza is my favorite, and the owners (mother and son) know me just by my order. They are so incredibly friendly and always ask about my family. My family loves their jumbo friends and like to get the Italian beef on garlic bread.Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggies options for toppingsParking: Tons of open spacesKid-friendliness: Lots of room for families to come in and sit. A great place to take the team after games.“

“Great place to go have a drink and grab food! Literally and an option for everyone when it comes to beer, liquor, wine, and food. If your a blue cheese fan, don't even get me started! The blue cheese is made in house and can't be beat! Smooth and chunky ???. It's pretty chill until around midnight and the pops off. So you can have a chill time or a club vibe depending on when you go. Plenty of games to play and plenty of slots to play as well.“
“This place is awesome because of Mone and Javi. They are the most welcoming, amazing, and wholehearted people ever. We have been coming to this place just because they make it so amazing and enjoyable for everyone. They’re such an asset to this place and Munich wouldnt be the same without “
“Went here on Valentine's Day with my boyfriend, and we were able to make reservations the night before. Great service and accommodations for the busy evening! We both ordered beers, and the food was fantastic. I got the chicken piccata, and he ordered the bacon burger. We both had the Chipotle mayo on the side that added a great twist to both meals. Splitting the two was a great idea. I like the open concept of the restaurant as one side is a bar and the other is more centered around dining. I'd definitely make my way back here when I'm in the area. Totally recommend!“
“This is by far the best location! Always great delicious food! We love the zingers, the wings, the nachos & the mozzarella sticks. Those are our staples & I’m sure the other food is great as well!! It’s hard for us not to come here all the time :)“
“We went for the Friday fish fry, and the meal was good and tasty. Good portion sizes. There was an added grilled vegetable on the side which we were not expecting, which was very nice. However, on their website, it still shows all you can eat fish fry. This is not the case. They stopped this right after Covid so this has been updated for quite a while. There is a charge for extra fish. But price for quality was good and we had a good experience.“
“Finally a local pizza joint that gives you that pizza smell and old chicago hospitality. The pizza crust was crisp and ingredients were fresh. Just about every staff member touched our table in some way. You can tell they truly enjoy working there and work as a team. Will be back for sure.“
“This place is on my list of top 5 favorite dive bars. When you walk in there's a room to the right that has pool tables, darts and giant checkers! Then just when I thought it couldn't get any better. A band started jamming and they sounded incredible! The glass wall in between us created the perfect amount of sound. We ordered pizza and it was hot and delicious. Our bartenders were friendly and attentive.“
“So this place offers tons of bbq meats. We don't consume swine so only ordered the brisket and Alabama Chicken.I wouldn't brag about the mediocre beef brisket and the burnt ends, as we've eaten much better tasting brisket in Troy Alabama.The star of the show at this food joint hands down is the Alabama BBQ Chicken. This was our first time tryin it and .... Boy oh! Boy ..... Love at the first bite ..... Perfectly Crispy, Crunchy Skin and then the most flavorful, moist, juicy and tender bbq chicken meat ever.The service at this location royally sucks .... but the Alabama Chicken masks it with a flavorful punch.“

“We went on St. Patrick's Day for Corned Beef and Cabbage. We arrived before 5:00 pm and to our dismay they were already sold out of it. In my opinion if they are going to advertise that they are serving a certain dish they should make sure they have enough. It wasn't even busy and they still didn't have enough. So hopefully next year they will make sure they have enough for everyone that wants it. I have eaten there many times in the past and the food is outstanding“

“It's a sports bar with good and we are not into bars or sports...so the atmosphere isn't our preferred space- but the food (especially chicken limone) is fantastic.We prefer the onion rings over the toasted ravioli. Not because the latter is bad, we just prefer the rings. Since we're not bar folks and don't drink alcohol, sometimes it feels like service pays too little attention, but not always. That depends on the night and the server's.“

“A good spot for lunch with awesome service and atmosphere. Music is on point even when it is slow. Food is fine. Burger is better than fast food and decent for the price point. Come for a beer and burger, but temper expectations. Good for the demo graphic.Parking: not bad parking but only about a dozen spots. Really good handicap parking though.Kid-friendliness: Good for the family but in a commercial area. A nice little sanctuary for a family trendily meal that dad will love too. Nice for the area“

“This venue exceeded all expectations for a 70s themed birthday party. beautiful very clean space, delicious food items and the mixologist, Tony created drinks to fit the theme of the event. We had a nice size crowd, drinks, food and five star service was given to all attendees. The team at Shuffles are professionals, knowledgeable and dedicated to helping one create a memorable event. Sean, the Manager was available at all times to assist with the rental abd party planning. The space is upscale and beautifully decorated that we did not change a thing for the event. All of our guests had a great time, raved about the venue, service and food. Thank you Tony, Sean and the entire staff at shuffles for the seamless experience and great memories, we will be back.“
“Had dinner with one of my former bosses and his wife. Been here with them before; they are regulars. Food was good - I had the taco salad which was huge, boss had chicken tenders, his wife had the jumbo shrimp platter. Food and drink prices are reasonable. Atmosphere is comfortable; parking is adequate. Service wasn't stellar, but it was acceptable. Biggest issue I had, since I picked up the tab, is that they charge a 3.5% "processing fee" if you don't use cash. In a world where we are being forced to used cards every day, since so many places are going cashless, I think this fee is out of line. Yes, it was only a few bucks, but it make me think twice before I frequent this restaurant again since I rarely carry cash.“

“This place Rocks, I have a service dog and David-the manager, assured me if there was anything we needed not to hesitate to ask. Jeanna our server was sweet and sat us in our favorite sit. It was pretty busy but all the games were working and the food was amazing. Best place to spend family time and watched both basketball and baseball at the same time ?“
“It was our first time at Rep’s we didn’t know what to expect. The atmosphere was a bit dead but we did go on the weekday, no biggie. Our first impression was not very optimistic. Then we tried the food. The first bite was delicious. They have good portions. Honestly it did surprised me, had a good chuckle and couldn’t deny the Smile on my face. The staff was very friendly and attentive so overall it was a good experienced.“
