“This place was great. We stopped in this morning I had the green bowl & the Oreo donut. I have no idea how he got the bowl of the base so light & airy. Normally bowls are dense, it was not at all, I really enjoyed it. Husband got the peanut lovers shake. It was all so good. It was filling & satisfying. The setup is great, loved the post it note wall.The owner was super friendly & welcoming. He said he’d been in business one year, hope he has many more years of success. He has a great shop.Dietary restrictions: I’m soy & dairy intolerant & there were plenty of options on the menu for me to enjoy.“
“* I went to the Winery. I did not stay in the B&B.This Winery was so nice. Asthetically beautiful. Bar or lounge seating so you can pick the scene you prefer. They had sweet wine, too, which some places don't even offer. Me and my friends also tried a chocolate truffle which was yummy. I tasted them all and they were very good. It is very tempting to start a membership. However, when it was time for me to go, I still had 3 out of 6 tastings I paid for that I asked to redeem at a later date. I didn't want to have too much to drink given that I had a 40-minute drive, and I had to get going, which I let the woman at the front desk know. She said I could not redeem my tasting at a later date. I asked if I could have some refund, would have taken half or less than half, but I was told they don't do that either. It's a pretty small place, so I was surprised they didn't accommodate what I thought was a small and fair request. They haven't lost any money or wine, but I have. If you can't drink 9oz of wine like myself without getting sleepy or tipsy, I recommend bringing a friend and splitting the tasting. Other than that, my experience was nice, but left me with that sour taste.“
“Delicious food! Especially nice on a cold day. I appreciated that there was even a vegetarian item on the menu (a huge potato pancake with mushroom gravy), which was delicious. We also shared some sauerkraut & mushroom and potato & cheese pierogies, which were also great. Also great was the mulled wine. They serve a lovely sourdough bread with an interesting spiced spread, but heads up to vegetarians -- the spread is bacon-based. But again, excellent bread. (As you can see, deliciousness was the theme.) The exterior of the restaurant is a little unassuming but the interior is like a cheerful cabin. Would definitely recommend.Vegetarian options: Babcia's pancake, which is a potato pancake with mushroom gravy, served with 3 types of cold salad. There are also meatless pierogies: sauerkraut & mushroom and potato & cheese (ask to be served without bacon garnish). There are also some salads on the menu which are vegetarian. I don't believe any of these dishes are vegan, though at least one of the salads could probably be made vegan if the cheese was left off.“
“The Happy Dog will make you happy!Carlos will make your order exactly to what you want. And they have an excellent variety of foods available to meet your needs. In addition, if you like French fries, be sure to order them there. Their fresh cut fries are a wonderful addition to your meal.“
“The best of the best in the area - Capanari's Ice Cream. They are very comparable to Oberweis Ice Cream. Capannari is open seasonally from March until Halloween usually. They have rotating seasonal/weekly flavors along with your classic Ice Cream flavors - I really like the Madagascar Vanilla Milkshakes. The workers are also very friendly, there's a patio and garden outside you can enjoy your ice cream in or a small couple of chairs inside. Definitely try them if you're in the area and want some great ice cream!“
“Really enjoyed this unique coffee and gelato place. Not only was the latte perfect, but the gelato was also really fresh and they had plenty of flavors. I saw others getting Nutella crepes that also looked amazing. Will most definitely come back!“
“First time trying this place and I would go back again. I ordered the seasoned fries. They were very crispy and tasty. The seasoning was a bit different. I ordered the spicy garlic shrimp sandwich with extra shrimp. Absolutely delicious. It was not spicy but well seasoned. The arugula on the sandwich was a nice e compliment to the overall taste profile.“
“We enjoyed our breakfast at this friendly, cozy diner with pleasant decor. Offers great seating, views, large portions of food and plenty of coffee refills, all served with a smile.Prices are reasonable compared to other diners/cafes in the area.“

“My dining experience here was great, our server was Matt, he was very attentive, made sure our experience was great. The food didn't take too long considering they had a big party going on while we were seated. Definitely recommend coming in here ! And ask for Matt he won't disappoint!“
“Food: I had masala tea & combo medu vada/idli.Very good taste. They serve three types of chutneys, I liked all and also they serve sambhar.Masala Tea quantity was a big full mug. I don't find these quantity in other Indian restaurant. Typically it is less quantity.They have options for buffet on selective days.Service: Server was very attentive and response was quick.Atmosphere: It is nice & comfortable seating arrangement to be with your loved ones, friends and family.“
“I had a custom birthday cake made for my husbands birthday and it was even more perfect than I could’ve imagined! It was a highlight of the party! She replicated exactly what I asked for and exceeded my expectations. Not to mention the cake was delicious too! Highly recommend!“
“We hosted our baby shower at church street, and it was amazing. Everyone loved the atmosphere. We worked with Jace before, during, and after the event. The food was amazing, I did not receive a single complaint from my very picky family members, they all agreed it was amazing. The guest enjoyed the beer and we even did a growler with a beer of choice as one of diapers raffle gifts and it was the most popular one! I am so happy we hosted our event here, it went so smooth and hassle free. I will definitely be hosting events again here in the future!“
“We waited too long before trying for the first time! Really delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. It felt like we were being served by family in their own home. Fantastic price-to-value. Some great local history on the walls, too. Definitely will return.“
“Food was good. Service was great! Atmosphere is okay not bad but really dim lighting for me. The paper on the tables kind of cheapends the experience makes it fell a little less fine dining even though I completely understand why they do it.“
“If you're around the greater Chicago area. Stop in and grab a concrete. That's what I did.I'm from Missouri and we are known for how great our frozen custard places are. I gotta say it was a nice filling in for my normal ice cream stops.I got the chocolate peanut butter concrete and although, their caramel cookie dough looked very inticing, I didn't try it.They have a great variety of flavors and very creamy custard.Jake from Missouri approves.?????“
“This is the best coffee place ever!!!! They are so nice and kind and everything is delicious I am super picky with coffee and always get scared to try new places but I have been comimg her for a few months and I love it its right across the street from the salon I work at so I love the convenience I love the energy and how nice everyone is and they always remember my order do yourself a favor and make this your new coffee shop!! ? -Liz the Nail tech“
“Unfortunately, the evening did not start off well. We were told that we had to wait for our reservation for atleast 10-15 min after our original time, even though we showed up early. Then after waiting, we were told another 15 min. Noticed that they seated other groups that were walk ins so I guess they were given priority. We had two young children who were starving so we decided to leave and just as we did, the manager came running after us and asked us to stay. They turned around a table and even through a pizza in the oven for the kids, no charge. The food was good, not great. Felt a little rushed as it was now kind of late for dinner and they were getting ready to close. Wouldn't mind giving them another try but will likely favor other restaurants over this one.“
“This place is truly a hidden gem. We were recommended to check this spot out by a local bartender, and we are so glad we did! The ambiance was really chill and non pretentious. Our mixologist, David, was super personable and well versed in his craft. He’s bringing experience from cocktail programs in the city to the burbs! It was a cute little spot that gave speakeasy vibes. We initially thought we were underdressed, but this place wasn’t booshie at all, and there was no judgement like some places. The cocktails were creative and well balanced. I’m so glad we have a place like this nearby. We will definitely be back soon!Update:We just went back because of our previous experience. I brought a group of 10 (all industry people). We spent over 1k as a group for my friend’s 40th bday. I raved about this place only to feel unwelcome in the end. A young female bartender tells us we were too loud. Honestly, we obviously had a lot to drink, but nobody was being reckless. We were told people were complaining. From a business standpoint you made us feel unwelcome in an establishment where we spent money. Take the $60 2 top who complained over what we spent there tonight? At least pull one of us aside instead of making a grand announcement. Chad you’re a great and talented owner, but train your staff how to talk to people. Just tell us, dont make a scene.“
“Picked up food to go for the grandkids. Kid's burgers, fries, fruit and beverage along with a Baked Pretzel.All items were well prepared and were ready ahead of expected time.Kid-friendliness: Kid's meal, freshly prepared with fries, mandarin orange segments.“
“Nice atmosphere, excellent service, and good prices/value. Not a ton of savory vegetarian options. Most meat free stuff are the super sugary items. Also, the coffee situation is in desperate need of an upgrade. Tasted like nothing, it was just hot brown water.“
“The food and drinks were amazing but the service was even better. Our server Nicole made amazing recommendations, all of which we went with and had a great time. We recently moved to the area and will be making this one of our frequent spots because of her amazing service. Get this girl a raise, her level of hospitality was unreal.“
“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.“
“Not the first time I’ve been to this restaurant, but first time for dinner as I usually join coworkers for lunch. Kind of a different experience as far as entrée sizes and prices. For lunch I feel it’s a moderately good deal but for dinner I was a little surprised at the portion size compared to the price, we did enjoy all of our dishes but having a hard time with the value. The charred cauliflower appetizer was tasty but small portion for over $12. The lasagna Bolognese made with a chicken sausage was equivalent of two large raviolis stacked on top of each other. For $20 I would expect a bigger portion. Overall a higher rating due to the ambience of the restaurant and service was good.“
“We had a very enjoyable visit on a Sunday afternoon — friendly, cute, comfortable place with a great selection of creative and tasty beers. Our table tried 7 between us and enjoyed each one. Definitely worth trying out— and returning! Loved sitting on the deck and the pretzel with beer cheese was very good.“
“I work around the corner from here and found it by chance. I will say I will be back. I called to find out where they were located and Cindy explained exactly how to find her place. My coworker and I went to go check out the restaurant and Cindy and a gentleman greeted us as we walked in. Even asked if we had just called. This to me is how you treat your customers. As my coworker and I waited for our breakfast burritos the smell of the restaurant was amazing. Cindy also chatted the whole time we waited and explained how she preps and what all goes into their fresh food. Cindy is caring and very passionate about her food and customer service. Please make sure to go find Cindy and chicks’n salsa. They are located in the office building on the corner of main st and 22nd in Lombard. Keep up the good work Cindy.“
“My husband has been going in here for awhile. I had my first visit today. My shake was really good, Bahamas breeze protein shake. The owner is super nice. The place is very clean. Price is right. I would highly recommend village nutrition.“
“Everything is homemade from scratch, and just delicious! I've tried so many things on their menu and most recently tried their special pasta with asparagus in a lemon cream sauce and it was just heaven. I have to mention I'm GF and their fresh homemade GF noodles are the best I've ever had! Between the charming atmosphere and the amazing food, Rosemary and Jeans is just a jewel of a spot.Dietary restrictions: Amazing GF options“
“My favorite dish was the goulash. The meat is so tender and the sauce is the perfect flavor definitely want some mashed potatoes with this dish. My daughter loved the potato pancakes and my husband's favorite were the parogies. Service was awesome.“
“My OG go to. It's not a great place for a beer selection, so don't come here for that, but the food is good, and the staff are great, very attentive and very friendly. There are some good deals like the 20 taco tray. I love the Birilla de Borrego. Latin music is lit, and it's a very comfortable vibe.“
“Cute shop! People working there are very nice and friendly! I got the exhausted parent in a small cup. It was delish to say the least. Only reason im not giving a 5 stars is because I did not see all the flavors listed online there to choose from. Overall a good spot, Will be back.“
“Stopped in with my teenager. They had kids friendly drinks that she loved. Ordered pizza it was great. And yes the craft beer is excellent. Everything it sampled tasted was fantastic. If you are in the area and love craft beer, this is a great place to stop in and enjoy a beer, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere.“
“Went to meet up with a friend from high school and as I sat down, I was graciously met by our server, Bella. As I waited for him to show up, she checked on me every so often to see if I needed anything and, after he showed up and we placed our order, she continued to check on us, even as the place was filled up on the upper patio. Food was very good, very nice atmosphere and our server, Bella, was the best server I’ve had at any restaurant I’ve been to. She was so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I’m hoping the next time I go there, that Bella is working, she’s the best“
“Ate in Wheaton. Our server was a delight and gave us attention. Asked for mor corn chips. What I was not happy about was my Paella . Such a small portion of Paella with Mussels added around edge with bread slices around bowl. Covered with Raw cabbage slaw! Slaw was not needed. Oh and can we talk about ever shrinking Gauc trio!?!! I swear a tablespoon of each. Not sure if it was just an off night or the difference between Wheaton and Geneva. Never had a bad meal in Geneva Altiro.“
“I love their health shots, juices, and juice cleanse! I grab their health shots about 2-3 times a week, and I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my health. I also just completed their green cleanse for the 3rd time over the past 2 years. Highly recommend their cleanse for anyone looking to rejuvenate, build immunity, and replenish the body!“
“It's good food at decent prices and no pretentiousness. Everyone I spoke to was friendly, I never had an empty coffee cup, and the portions were well sized.I got the chicken and waffles, and it was delicious, and the side of bacon I ordered was the perfect level of crispy.If I may be so cheesy, the best way I can think of to describe here is like eating at grandma's:Is it the prettiest, best food I've ever had in my life? No.Do I feel warm and comfortable and maybe just slightly too full when I leave, knowing that I cant wait to come back again? Absolutely.“
“This location is the best. I don't have to say too much about the custard, it is always great. But the service is fantastic too. I made a wrong order that is definitely my mistake, but the stuffs are still willing to change the order for me, right before they are closing! Thanks Zav and Taylor (I hope I did not spell your names wrong, if I do I am so sorry) and all other stuffs. I would like all customers and your manager knows the awesome service that you provided. Will definitely come back for more custard. Looking forward to you guys again.“
“Five of us sat at an ample round table placed at a corner window. We ordered a variety of dishes, from omelets to wraps to sandwiches. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The staff was friendly and the owner was especially nice to us. It was the first time I had been to Egg'lectic Cafe, but not the last!“
“I forgot to take pics but everything was good! The Italian beef egg rolls and bacon wrapped jalapeños were so good! The BLT had tons of bacon on it and everything was crispy as requested. The onion rings were large and yummy!Vegetarian options: They have a full vegan menu with multiple options if you are looking for that.“
“I really liked this place. It's small seems more of a take out restaurant but the food we had was pretty good. We had the gyoza, veggie fried rice, a Philly roll, bubble tea, and bimbibap. All delicious and the staff was very kind. Bubble tea was a lot better than expected. Will definitely be back to try more.“
“Gina and Fabian are amazing! My experience at the gym was fantastic. I’ve since moved out of state and it is hard to find a gym in my new location that meets my expectations after such an amazing experience at Focus. My workout plan was tailored to what I needed and wanted to meet my goals. The gym was never crowded and I never felt intimidated walking into the gym. Highly recommend open gym or one on one personal training. Thank you Gina and Fabian!“
“Made my trip to the suburbs much brighter.The staff are phenomenal. Totally engaging and knew their beers. The music wasn't loud enough to be offensive, but it was enough to keep a kid who grew up with thrash pretty happy.The food wasn't too bad, either!“

“O....M...G!! THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Where has this flavor been all my life! I was sooo in heaven. How come this wasn't discovered when I was a kid?? This place gives the Vienna hotdog a serious run around the park with the different flavors, ingredients, and the way their dishes are served to make their food items unique. I was getting off of work one day last week and wanted a hotdog, but I didn't know where I wanted to go. I Googled the word dawd (because I thought it was different lol), and The Dawg Park in the Arboretum appeared just 3 doors down east of Xsport Fitness. The staff was nice and polite. The environment was clean and inviting. Tony, the manager, introduced himself and gave me a history of the establishment. I asked what he would suggest because everything on the menu looked mouth watering. I had the Muddy Fries ? and Ninja Dawg . Not only was it great tasting, but it was very appealing to the eye. Presentation and flavor are everything to me. This place is very kid friendly with a children's menu, children movies playing, video arcade games, and a giant connect four. So, on your downtime, evening run for errands, a close by shopping experience, or a weekend out with friends or family, stop by Dawg Park, meet Tony and his crew. Tell him Mimi sent you ??“
“I tried their new seasonal soft serve Matcha Blossom Float with cherry blossom soda at the bottom, it was so unique and delicious. Just simply exquisite! Awesome!Vegetarian options: Vegan flavor ice cream / soy milk substitutionParking: Hugh parking lot and street parking just in front of the entrance.Kid-friendliness: Pop-up theme.“
“My 1st time here.Excellent place for good food and live entertainment. I had the largest fried Shrimp ever and they were amazing.We went for the fantastic Shindig 60's band, the top local band in the Chicago area. They were outstanding, as usual.The band stage was WAY too small but worked. It needs to be reconfigured to a larger size and the lighting needs to be adjusted because taking pictures didn't work.My suggestions :1. Remove the tv's since you're really not a good venue as a sports bar. Add more tables under the tv's.2. Expand the band area and include an area for dancing. Too many people were dancing around the tables.5 separate dining areas. Lots of seating.I rated 5stars because it was an exceptional situation with St. Patrick's Day, the staff was overwhelmed with the crowds but were amazing under the circumstances.03/16/24 was St. Paddy day celebration.We had a reservation 1 month in advance. Thank goodness. But we still waited 30 minutes for our table because the wait staff wouldn't get the previous people to leave our table. This needs to be adjusted.Parking: Free parking but on an occasion, like St Patrick's day, get there early.“
“It's a small but cozy pub. We've been here several times for dinner. We've driven by this place often and not sure why we never went in. We usually sit at the bar and the bartenders are very friendly. Troy has made us some great cocktails. I recommend Coffee Shop After Hours with mezcal (or vodka), cold brew and cocoa bean. The Rye Old Fashioned is really good. The Bloody Mary (only served during Sunday brunch) is outrageous with that slider on top! They have a decent beer selection also. The prime rib special is delicious and perfectly cooked. Rocco burger is good too. We enjoy coming here place. You will need to be mindful of the hours because they're not typical.“
“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!“
“Great pizza and great prices! We made the mistake a switching pizza place because we found one closer to our home but came back here. The taste and amazing customer service is unmatched. Will definitely stay here from now on. I think their prices are so good that it even leaves room to leave a tip. Thank you for your exceptional service and great food.“
“I went to this place with my family. The burgers were great and the fries were good too. The burgers are easy to bite into and have a good size. The service was great because all toppings were free and extra straws were provided. The ambiance of the place works well because they play nice music outside and it has an older feel to it even though you order outside the place and eat outside because they do not have an eating area. Though the food was a little bit expensive, it's definitely a good place to go to every so often.“
“Amazing cupcakes!!!! Beautifully made with care and so delicious too! They have happy hour from 5-6 and have half price cupcakes!!!!!! Absolutely amazing and the workers there are so nice too!!! Went in for 2 walked out with 4!!!!! So excited to come back and try the other cupcakes!!!!! It's a great woman owned small business and everyone should go show some love!!!!“
