“In a town known for great steak restaurants, EJs, is my favorite. Their steaks and seafood are outstanding, their sides and desserts wonderful, and their wine list never disappoints. Throw in a cozy atmosphere with wood paneling and the smell of the fireplace. The best part is the service. From the moment you arrive until you get back in your vehicle their service is unmatched with a staff of professionals who have been there for years. I highly recommend EJs and look forward to our next visit!”
“Fancy high end dining place. Valet parking, and sumptuous decor feels like snooty men's club. It's like very corporate and ...fine. Food was rich and elegantly presented and good ...it's fine, it's not special or original and exciting in anyway.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We had family style dinner. Food was amazing!! Service was great. Everyone took such pride in their jobs.”
“I just took my 12 year old nephew here as a surprise adventure. The place is amazing! It’s well laid out. There is plenty to do for every one. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond. And the prices are reasonable for both games and the bar. We will definitely be back.”
“If you're looking for a great steak dinner, LongHorn Steakhouse is the place to go!
Our group enjoyed a variety of dishes, including the Renegade Sirloin Steak, Ribeye Steak, Baby Back Ribs, and the 7 oz. LongHorn Salmon paired with 8 ct. Redrock Grilled Shrimp. We also had side orders of Shrimp & Lobster Chowder, Mixed Greens Salad, and Mashed Potatoes.
The steaks were perfectly cooked and incredibly succulent, satisfying every steak lover's craving.
The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, seasoned just right, and absolutely perfect.
The salmon and shrimp were delicious, offering a fresh and flavorful complement to the hearty dishes.
The Shrimp & Lobster Chowder was the perfect choice for a chilly Friday night, warm and full of rich seafood flavors.
LongHorn Steakhouse offers a welcoming atmosphere, fantastic food, and great service. Highly recommend for a satisfying meal with family or friends!”

“Kandy Krush Melt was an absolute delight! The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in — warm, friendly, and super attentive. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and felt welcome. The food? Simply amazing. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful too. You can tell they put real love into everything they do. We left full and happy. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great vibes, great people, and even better food!”
“Such a hidden gem, this restaurant was amazing and I'm so glad we stumbled upon it. The complementary soup was so good we asked for a whole bowl, we also ordered the pulpo and the risotto special they had for the day and I cannot decide which one I liked better, they both blew my mind. Great service, amazing food, definitely a 5 star restaurant!”
“My experience with this restaurant was very good and wonderful. The people who work inside are clean and advise you on special things. There is also a wonderful taste in the food and it is very clean. Everything is halal here and the prices here are very good at the lowest prices. You can eat your meal for one person and you do not need to order anything else.”

“Lunch time was not crowded. Service was fast and efficient.
Tempura battered Brussels sprouts were pretty good - light crispy exterior with light batter and interior was cooked but not mushy
Hibachi salmon x 2 - carefully plated but lacking the usual shredded cabbage, maki, small salad or miso soup that completes bento boxes, especially given the price point of $19. Even for lunch this was a bit bare. The flavors were ok, a tad salty but the broccoli 🥦 balanced it out a bit.
Special roll was served on foil 🤨 , sushi rice was not quite right , but the fish had plenty of sauce and toppings so hard to tell the quality.
Overall, not the usually Japanese set but not bad.”
“Taboun Grill delivers a flavorful and reliably enjoyable dining experience, blending warm hospitality with dishes that highlight the best of Middle Eastern cooking. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxed, making it an easy place to settle in for a satisfying meal. Staff members are friendly and efficient, keeping the service smooth even during busy times.
The food stands out with fresh ingredients and well-balanced seasoning—whether it’s the tender, juicy kebabs, the creamy hummus, or the perfectly baked pita that arrives warm and fragrant. Portions are generous, and most dishes hit the mark with both flavor and presentation. While a few items could benefit from just a bit more refinement to reach that perfect five-star level, Taboun Grill remains a consistently strong choice and a spot you’ll happily return to for bold, comforting Middle Eastern favorites.”

“SOOOOO GOOD! I had this restaurant for the first time today and it was amazing. We had it delivered and it was steaming hot when it was delivered and delivery was super quick and efficient. I am definitely going to be recommending this place to other people. The orange chicken is amazing!”
“A legacy location in Skokie! Traditions going back generations! If you haven’t, you must! And if you happen to be a Niles West, North, or East grad….be sure to sign the wall of fame! ❤️”
“The food was great, but it is a little pricey. The restaurant is difficult to find since its inside a building and the seating area is inviting but very small. Regardless none of that would deter me from having a nice lunch there with some delightful kosher food!”
“We dined here before a show at the nearby North Shore Center for the Performing Arts. It is always busy before shows, and we appreciate the prompt service that allows us to get to our show on time, yet doesn't seem rushed.”
“my family and i went there tonight as first timers. id like to say the food is absolutely delish except the soups. we had the new england clam chowder amd the seafood gumbo and they honestly tasted like can soup. the fried calamri were perfect and the raw oysters were fresh and cleaned immaculately. we would definitely go back BUT will not have matthew as our server. he was honestly terrible. unattentive to us on a very slow Wednesday night in the restaurant. if he came around 2 or 3 times during the hour and half we were there it was a lot and to drop off food. my husband asked for a refill on his drink after 15 minutes i had to get up to look for him and eventually had to bother farrah, another server working. she promptly got him a drink and checked on us several times after that. matthew nowhere to be found until it was time for the check to be paid. his service would have turned my nose at a return but farrah saves the night and the fact wed be return customers soon. also we asked for a small container of butter we recieved a bowl cool until we got the bill and they were charging $6 for a bowlof butter. would have been nice if mathew would have let us know our options before deciding it was cool to bring whatever he chose. he did remove it from the bill when i questioned it but the point is there was transparency or communication before hand. ivell farrah and the good saved the night, sorry mathew you need to work on your service if this is your choice of job”

“I eat Subway salad twice a day and always in different Subways around the city, but this Subway makes a real proper salad and chops it. I want all Subway establishments to do this. I drove 20 miles here but it costs to come here. I want the Subway owners to see my review. Just do this in every Subway and your profit will be at least 20% more. This is a lot of money that you are losing by not paying attention to the little things. Respect to the staff ?
Guys, I came back specifically and ordered another salad to take photos and videos and post this review so that everyone could see what a real salad looks like, How it is made correctly! It is amazing. I am very happy that I found this place. Now I will come to all Subways throughout the city and everywhere I will demand that they make my salad exactly this way! I think that this is how the salad should be made in every Subway cafe! I am very grateful to the staff, they do a great job!”
“Today's fundraiser for Special Olympics Illinois was a success, due in part of people who cared and donated. We raised over $3000!!, well over previous years donation amount. Special thank you to Dunkin at 5150 Touhy Ave. Skokie IL for their continued support on this worthy cause. Thank you for it's amazing staffs for their friendly and outstanding service. You guys are the best.”
“We went for a Tea Tasting. Laura was our server. She was full of knowledge and educated us on new teas we never would have tried. Truly an awesome experience!”
“Okay, you HAVE to try Seattle Sutton’s meals! I’ve been getting them for almost a year, and they’re seriously the best meal delivery company. I actually talked to one of their dietitians before I signed up and they were super helpful and answered all of my questions. There are so many meals I never would’ve thought of making myself, but they’re all so good. The convenience is unreal. You just heat it up. I don't have to cook anything and I hate doing dishes, so that's a huge bonus. Plus, everything is always fresh, like I just bought it at the store. If you want easy healthy meals without worrying about fake or unhealthy ingredients this is 100% the way to go.”

“I went yesterday when visiting Chicago. I had never had it before but I went by the recommendations of Skokie residents and I was very impressed. I took 6 desserts home to Kentucky and my only regret is I didn’t take more oatmeal raisin cookies. Those were absolutely phenomenal.”
“We drove from Genoa City Wisconsin because we heard how delicious everything was. We were NOT disappointed. The meat on our sandwiches, one corned beef and one pastrami, was piled high! Homemade brined pickles and bakery items exceeded our expectations. Worth the drive and we will be back.”
“Zad by Pita Inn in Skokie, Illinois, offers a delightful four-star dive into Mediterranean cuisine with its fresh, flavorful dishes that blend authenticity and affordability, making it a go-to spot for quick yet satisfying meals in a casual setting. The steak shawarma wraps tender, spiced meat in warm pita with creamy hummus and crisp veggies that burst with Middle Eastern zest, while the lamb dishes impress with their juicy tenderness and aromatic spices, all served in generous portions that feel like a steal for the price. The clean, no-frills counter-service atmosphere hums with efficient staff who keep things moving smoothly, though occasional inconsistencies in seasoning or tougher cuts during busy rushes can slightly detract from the experience. Overall, it’s a reliable neighborhood gem for falafel lovers and shawarma enthusiasts alike, with gluten-friendly options adding to its appeal, even if it doesn’t quite reach the pinnacle of gourmet flair.”

“Everything is fresh and delicious! They really have something for everyone including vegan! It’s fast food only in the sense that it is fast. It’s very affordable too and we love their points program! Love their cheese ravioli and meatballs! I also love the Rainbow cone which is a Chicago original! It may seem like a weird combination of flavors but it works! Great customer service!”
“I took my kids for the first time and they loved everything about it! Great experience everytime. 10/10”
“Wish there was one in every neighborhood. Worth it to go there. Great people.”

“Today was the first time I have ever Ben in a Portillo’s Restaurant, first time I have ever had an Italian beef sandwich. I have a Lotta friends in Fort Myers who go all the way to Tampa to get this sandwich and they continue to tell me how good it is. So this evening we decided to go to Portillo since I was visiting on my grandkids and my daughter and son-in-law, I really enjoyed that Italian beef sandwich. There are a lot of other good things on the menu, but that was what I was there for. Unfortunately, they do not have a Portillo’s Station FortnMyer Florida. I can only hope that one day they will build it there.”
“My family and I like to visit on the weekends it’s a safe place and a fun place for your family
Parking: Parking is not bad at all plenty of spaces available
Kid-friendliness: The entire staff and place is kid friendly the staff is very professional and nice”

“Tried the Original Rainbow cone twice on my trip to Chicago and I loved it! A true Chicago Original. The presentation and flavors worked perfectly together! Would love to go back and order the cake slice or maybe the Ice Cream Sandwich version of the rainbow cone again one day!”
“We enjoyed Beyond Thai restaurant. The owner helps on the dining room. The food is prepr bcdf ared fresh. We had crispy egg rolls, tom yum soup, delicious seaweed salad with cucumbers, and salmon fillet with rice topped with a large mound of fresh Asian style vegetables. We had tasty Emerald noodle dishes and pad see eiew.”
“The employee (Paola Tapia) greeted me and was very polite throughout the whole process. Radio with American classic was playing in the background.
The place was not busy and so my order of Texas double whopper and nuggets was ready in no time.
The whopper was one of the most carefully built I ever had! The bun was not squished, patties and all ingredients were neatly placed and evenly spaced. Only a few lettuce pieces were outside but it's totally fine. Amazing!
Also the place is very clean.”
“The chicken is so good! There is seating, but when we were there, it was crowded and noisy with kids running around. The chairs aren't comfortable either. But the chicken! It was very flavorful and excellent. Kind of elevated fast food. We'll go back for the chicken legs and try new dishes but will probably do carry out instead of eating in.”
“Our host today was Anthony, and he went above and beyond to ensure our very large order for 14 people was perfect. He made sure everything included the proper fixings, utensils, and napkins. Despite the short prep time, the order was ready flawlessly. Thanks to this experience, my entire staff are now fans of Wingstop. Lunch went extremely well, and I would 100% recommend this location!”
“I’ve ordered take out for a while but finally dined in. I love the complimentary spicy cabbage appetizer. I recommend the dry chili chicken and the hot wok style beef.”
“I have been to a few revolving sushi spots, this by far, tops all of them! All of the seafood was fresh and tender. Soooo delicious. I ate enough for 2, and I went alone. Easy to pop open the tops and fun to order off the menu. Loved that there was an slot to get rid of your plates so they don’t stack up. Would absolutely go again.”
“The food is delicious and the prices are very fair. The only issue I have is, it's location is two miles from where I work and the food always takes between 45 minutes to an hour to get to me. Sometimes longer even if I order it before my actual lunch break.”
“Delicious food and a vibrant atmosphere. I had the pleasure of dining recently with friends, and every dish, from the Octopus to the Sea Bass was cooked to perfection. The cocktails sent our experience over the top, long with the amazing wait service. Anytime I am back in Chicago, Bar Siena will most certainly be a mandatory stop!”
“We went to Hampton Social for my sister’s bachelorette in Nashville, and it was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere is super cute and fun, with a laid-back yet vibrant vibe. The cocktails were delicious, and the staff made it extra special by bringing my sister some shots with a sparkler for her bachelorette. Since her bridal party was small and the guitar shots were too much for our group, this thoughtful gesture made the day even more memorable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great drinks and a fun atmosphere!”

“The cutest little deli with wonderful staff. I came in starving due to being stuck on a liquid diet currently and was afraid I wouldn’t find anything I could eat for lunch. Fortunately the wonderful staff strained me a bowl of broth and it was delicious! Not to mention very kind of them. Totally saved my day, thank you Sunnydeli!”
“Very good food, you have to try.”
