Restaurants in Skokie

“Very Delicious and Tasty 😋”

“What a great place! The welcoming atmosphere and intoxicating smells were drawing us in from the moment we got here. Our server was knowledgeable and kind. The food was fantastic, really incredible how much flavor they got into the chicken. Everything was really well thought out and we really appreciated the chill date atmosphere!”

“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!”

“I've had mixed experiences here. The service tonight was great, but the wine menu is lacking. I'm not sure why ports are not listed under desert wines, and there are very limited options from New Zealand and absolutely no Petit Syrahs. The French, Portuguese, German, and Italians wines lists sometimes only have 1-2 options.”

“Whether you keep Kosher or not (I don't) this place is a MUST! The food is so delicious, I salivate every time I think about it. I know a place is awesome when they make basic things into amazing ones (examples: the pita and the yellow rice). I flew in from NYC and as I was eating, I thought "WOW! This food is so good, I might have to consider moving here!" Ha! No, but really, I was sad I won't be able to enjoy it more regularly. I'll DEFINTITLEY be back!”

“Nice waitress and great food.”

“Best steak ever!!! It was an extremely tender rib eye - packed with flavor and cooked to the correct temp. Their mashed potatoes were divine and the Bordeaux was exquisite. As someone who DOESN’T keep kosher this was better than any steakhouse I’ve been to in the suburbs + city ?? Lincolnwood has THE best restaurants in the world. No one can tell me otherwise.”

“Nice space. Good beer. I had a pint of Twice Lucky. Excellent, live jazz from Chris Greene and Damian Espinosa on Sunday afternoon.”

“Honestly the food was really good. I got their teriyaki shrimp with rice and broccoli and it was really nice. It’s a little pricey for the food but it was def worth it.”

“Very good. Look forward to eating there again.”

“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!”

“We had family style dinner. Food was amazing!! Service was great. Everyone took such pride in their jobs.”

“Had an amazing meal here last night. The Halibut special was one of the best Halibut and fish dishes I've had anywhere. Perfectly cooked, moist, flavorful, and with just the right amount of lemon sauce. The homemade chicken tortellini soup was excellent, too. thank you to Junior for his recommendations.”

“I took my kids for the first time and they loved everything about it! Great experience everytime. 10/10”

“May God give you good health. Eat something great and something delicious
Hopefully we will be treated like honey. We will return. May God grant you success ❤️”

“I have eaten here many times. Usually the food is very good. This time wasn't up to par. My lychee martini didn't have any whole lychees in it. The fried squid was very tough. The skirt steak was good perfectly. Would I come back again, probably and order different food.”

“Wish there was one in every neighborhood. Worth it to go there. Great people.”

“Amazing place! Great food and service!”

“Hidden gem. Best Mole I’ve had. BYO ALCOHOL”

Parking: Parking is not bad at all plenty of spaces available

“Peri Peri is definitely one of my favorite types of cuisines and the port of peri peri is by far the best! Anytime I visit the chicken is well marinated, flavorful and tender. I would highly recommend the chicken tender rice bowl since they are well portioned. Definitely check this place out as well as their other locations!”

“Didn't I rate this place already? Yeah, it had a dif name ... see "ebar". Or - THAT rating/review should have been on THIS place ... This is what happens when you allow Google Maps to follow your every move and you're goofy enough to begin actually reviewing ?”

“simple, fresh, and amazing”

“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.”

“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!”

“Fun time with friends , drinks and food during happy hour is best”

“There food was really good and a friendly atmosphere. I don’t recommend having large groups.”

“I’ve been craving jianbing ever since I first tried it in China for the first time last year. I’m happy to say this place did not disappoint and satisfied my craving ☺️. I recommend the hotdog and meat floss.”

“Great customer service, and testy food 😋”

“Came in with a friend who had never had boba before. The owner(?) recommended her a flavor and offered to make her a different kind if she didn't like it. She had brown sugar, I had taro, and my wife had a caramel latte boba. All were delicious! We also got the mini pancake bites which were fantastic. The owner(?) was super nice and gave us free water as well. If it wasn't a 40 minute drive for us we would be here all the time!”

“Great coffee and savory items are delicious.”

“Absolutely delicious food perfect customer service Decent prices very clean place”

“I stop in every time I am anywhere near a location. VERY GOOD FOOD. Natiff at the Skokie is the nice guy on the planet. super welcoming.”

“This place is a hidden gem. The staff is courteous. The food was amazing. We had the salmon croissant and the strawberry salad and BLT. 10 out of 10. Super clean space. Will definitely return.”

“I got the combination plate, it was a lot of food and everything was 🔥 they also gave me a scoop of hummus to try which was also good”

“Great Food Great Staff Excellent Place Great for the community 👏 👍 🙌”

“Been coming here since I was a kid! I moved up north and haven’t been back in years and as God as my witness it tastes like I never left. Thank you for the nostalgia!”

“Great food! fast service for carryout!”

“Excellent, smooth, locally sourced hot or iced coffee with many options. Tasty pastries, muffins, and cookies. Delicious, (optionally Red Bull-infused) juice drinks.”

“A nice little fast food joint off of Dempster and Gross Point Rd. They serve up lots of good and intetesting pizza, wraps, burgers and more. All of their food is Zabiha halal certified.

Keep in mind there are no tables to eat inside, this is a takeout/carryout only place.

I recommend Chicken 65 wrap, Malai Chicken wrap, and Meat Lovers pizza.”

“Juicy, delicious jerk chicken! Be sure to order extra sauce--it's worth it. The Owner stopped by my table, which I really appreciated. Having him as a Server would definitely have made a 5-star visit.”

“The food was delicious! Nice portions. I had the Cajun Hash special. Wow! The service was excellent and everyone there was cheerful and attentive to you. Loved it!”

“Modern atmosphere-clean restaurant with really good food. The staff was friendly and takes pride in their food.

Vegetarian options: You can ask for the items to be customized to be vegetarian

Parking: Small parking lot. They share with another business.”

“The rise of Yemeni Tea Cafés has thrust Muslim communities into the spotlight and offers a safe space for young people to socialize and avoid the negative influences of society, such as clubs and casinos. Qahwah House, the original and most well-known of these cafés, has served as a model for the many other Muslim cafés that have opened across the region.”

“Told them what I like and they made suggestions! It was delicious and they were so sweet and helpful!!”

“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.”

“The best burgers, hotdogs and those fabulous fresh cut fries!”

“Great food. Friendly owner. A lot of food for the price. Did I mention the food?? Okay, so it is a break room on the 3rd floor of the office building, but so what? That makes it even better. I loved the atmosphere! Pro tip: bring your own mug if you like Strong coffee. I'm positively wired after one cup. 10/10 would recommend.”

“El sabor 100 % mexicano !!”

“Take Flight is everything you could want in a cocktail bar, and more! The distilled spirits, the handmade cocktails and the people are all worth visiting and coming back for, Skokie is so lucky to have yall!”

“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.”

“i love this small business 😚 they’re always super friendly and kind. my fav is the brown sugar milk tea and their thai tea is also yummyyyy ◡̈ come support their cute small business!!!”

“Stopped in here with my dad while we were in Skokie and can confirm my dad was obsessed with the French fries (he ate the whole basket by himself). We split a kebab meal and the chicken was tasty. The baklava was excellent, and the whole restaurant overall was very clean. I def want to go back to try more of their food!”

“Bagels were very good! They don’t serve sandwiches or serve them hot or sliced here. We had to take them home to do all that which was a little disappointing. But let me reiterate, bagels are very good!”

“Highly recommend - I'm a picky eater and I pay attention to hygiene in a food store - the pastries were super-fresh and delicious”

“عاشت ايدكم على هذا الكباب ، طعم عراقي اصلي”

“Zad is my favorite restaurant in Skokie! One of the best places for healthy and vegan-friendly Mediterranean options. Omar and the staff are terrific and very welcoming.”

“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.”

“15 to 20 minutes is all it takes to have a great crispy thin crust pizza! We had sausage mushroom and onion along w fried mushrooms and large salad w garlic dressing! Yum!!! Fast delivery too!”

“Great food! Good service!”

“I love Molly's cupcake but the ladies need to smile more. It’s really weird going there buying my favorite sweets and nobody smiles and I feel like I’m bothering them. Just saying, smile more. That’s all”

“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!”

“We want to express our gratitude to the people who work in this bakery for the amazing cake for our son's 18th birthday. Our family and friends were delighted. Thank you very much!”

“Very friendly and inviting staff, cozy vibes, and great pizza! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.”

“Food here is very authentic!! Everything is so delicious. They have the best Chicken satay I’ve ever had.”

“Update: I've been coming here for like 20 years, cant remember the last time they've raised their prices. Their full slab of Baby Back Ribs has been $25 for ages, and it's as good as it's always been, fall off the bone tender right balance of sweet and salty, a little fat and their delicious glaze.

Portions are good, food is out in like 3-8 minutes, love coming here.”

“My husband LOVES the double burger & the delicious strawberry shakes! We ordered two more to go! The fries are so tasty and crispy!! Yum, yum!! 😋😋😋”

“they make bread to sell to stores , but buying from then directly is out of this world, best bread in chicago, and i tried many custom bakeries, the store is simple as its not made to sell to customers directly, that's how you know its good , they don't need fancy ”

“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!”

“Macy's the place to go to for my best cologne and Parfum...😁😁😁😍😍😍”

“food is good and the amenities of patio is perfect if you wanna solemn thingking”

“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.”

“I don’t know what kind of magic is happening in this kitchen but the food is delicious. Takeout that tastes delicious every time. Special shoutout to the Ru Burger, pastrami egg rolls and the Jr wrap.”

“Great for everyone and great for everything. Unique desserts.”

“Good food and friendly staff.”

“Company is good , & good serivice to unload your truck , but place is reduced, crowded, specially with a trailer on that side. Plan good to do set up, I had single axle & it was not the best experience with a guy fixing the trailer in the moment.”

“I’ve been going here since they first opened and it has been my favorite Thai place ever since. There’s no shortage of Thai restaurants in the city and burbs and I’ve tried MANY of them, yet none have ever topped Beyond Thai. My partner and I order from here pretty much once a week, sometimes more. Everything I’ve ever tried on the menu has been top notch. The staff is always friendly and the prices are reasonable, which is SO rare these days. My top recommendations are the pad Thai, ALL of their curries, and especially the curry puffs!

Vegetarian options: Many of the menu items can be easily made veggie. I often get the curries or pad Thai with veggies or tofu.

Dietary restrictions: My partner has some dietary restrictions so we sometimes have to make special requests to remove certain ingredients and they always oblige”

“Food, service and ambiance are perfect for a dinner out. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

“This was the best Greek food I’ve had in a while! I definitely recommend and will come back again!”

“My boyfriend and I have came to the place at least three times now and the spicy beef pho is the best pho we’ve ever had! The egg rolls and the gyoza was solid. Definitely one of the best pho places in skokie”

“What a great experience! We were looking to try a new place for my birthday and came upon El Fuego... and are so happy we did! Yummy food, really attentive service (without being pushy), and a fun vibe. Felt treated like we were family or special guests. We'll be back!”

“Super cute family owned bakery. They are always very friendly and nice, you can find everything you need here. I live just a few blocks away and it’s very easy for me to stop in to pick up whatever ingredients or things that I need to make dinner”

“The service is always great at this location! The mixed 6 piece was fried to perfection and juicy tender on the inside. Loved the yangnyeom and Korean BBQ sauce on the chicken too😋!”

“Fast and delicious as always 💯”

“Outdoor seating was very pleasant. Our server Mary Kate was sweet and very efficient and food came out quickly. My husband liked his brisket tacos but my nachos were boring w/ way too little & runny velveta type cheese. Our hosts each ordered their favorites . Total w/ tip $108. A bit steep for lunch”

“Awesome and we enjoy the food”

“Favorite place. Super delicious 😋”

“My friend went and and got the “dressing” that’s included in the Sunday special. It’s got raisins in it y’all!!! I just came to say, don’t play yourself with that one. The other stuff Looks good though. SN: To the owner. That looks more like “stuffing,”dressing is made with cornbread.”

“My first time having their pizza ever! Very good. Good amount of cheese and sauce and tasty ! I’ll be back!”

“Good place. This establishment is located at Dempster near Keeler. All staff are efficient, friendly and polite. Service is great..Not all Starbucks are the same. This one is outstanding. Shout out to Flora who is consistent with a great smile every time.”

“Generous servings of kosher Mexican food. Celiac friendly.”

“The service here was great. The barista was very friendly and had my drink ready almost immediately. I got the cold brew with caramel sauce and almond milk and it was very smooth and well made.”

“Great place great service”

“l like coffee ♥”

“I ordered the 15 Pc. Buffalo Wings, it tasted pretty good, was wet, crunchy, and had some good quality texture of meat.

The service was pretty quick, and very nice cashier, the atmosphere usually has one fly flying around, otherwise, pretty good scenery in the building.”

“Great late night spot after the movies or just to watch sports on their huge projection screen. The food is amazing and the staff is super friendly. DJs and live entertainment throughout the week!! Highly recommended!”

“I never really go for Burger King but the few times I’ve been at this location I was greeted with great service. A worker there named Benjamin is very welcoming and easy to talk to. Food is always great too!”

“So you want to eat from a never ending conveyor belt of sushi? You want a robot to bring you your drink? This is your place. Just remember that the prize you get for eating 15 plates isn't really worth the extra effort.”

“Following my experience with Ken's Diner & Grill, I discovered Sarah's Brick Oven listed within the 'People also viewed' section of its yelp page. Out of several other restaurants listed, Sarah's was the only one that captured my interest, plus it was a restaurant that I had not visited before in Skokie.

Sarah's Brick Oven itself is linked to Sarah's Tent, a market for kosher products that is located where Oakton St connects with N Crawford Ave in Skokie. And in spite of it being connected to Sarah's Tent, there is an acceptable number of parking spots available.

After entering and having plenty of time to look at the menu above the counter, and even on the laminated menu, I was acknowledged shortly after the customer ahead of me had finished ordering. I took an interest in the impossible burger after contemplating between the truffle mac & pizza, and the norma jean burger after I noticed that the impossible burger came with barbecue, onion rings, and served on a pretzel bun! And it was completed within a reasonable timeframe.

I opted out of dine-in, choosing to take my order to go because I had errands I needed to complete, plus I did not want to be in the area long. Moreover, the restaurant appeared clean, and the atmosphere gave off a very relaxed vibe. There were a number of tables with seats inside of the dining area, and I must say that I adored the interior, and the ceiling decoration which gave off sukkot vibes.

As for the food, other than my jaw popping because I had to open my mouth wide to take a bite of that stacked impossible burger, I enjoyed the satisfying taste of it once I had gotten settled in for the evening. It was delicious! And I most definitely recommend it if you are having trouble identifying something to try on the menu at Sarah's.

Being that I had a good experience, I would gladly re-visit Sarah's Brick Oven again whenever in the Skokie area. Or maybe I will just make a visit solely for it, tehehe.

Service: 4 | Atmosphere: 4 | Food: 5

Recommendations: truffle mac & pizza, norma jean burger, impossible burger, pestorella, spinach almondina, black forest, eggplant shakshuka pizza, truffle alfredo, koh panghan pasta, eggplant lasagna, sicilian panini, avocado sandwich, omelette sandwich, sarah's acai bowl, tropical bowl, or crispy sweet potato salad.

“Papa Romeo's is hands-down the best pizza joint in the area. Been eating their pizza for over 8 years and am always satisfied with the excellent quality of the pizza itself as well as all the perks that go into a great pizza experience (delivery time, quality of sides, price). I will always recommend this place.”

“The food was OK... I had a steak sandwich and onion rings. The steak was shredded but tasted good. The waiter was there but didn't get an order correct. Not bad service but could have been better. Give people time to look at the menu and don't be afraid to refill beverages a little quicker. Good place if you want good food quickly. They nailed that part.”

“Thanks to Emma’s Bagels for super fresh bagels and generous portion fish/salad trays for our grandson’s brit this morning.”

“Our first visit to Nando’s was a delicious experience! We’re putting this place into our dining rotation!!”

“A Ruby in the rough. I'm just getting a haircut down the block and decided to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavors. Staff was very friendly and patient. The Pad Kra Pao was sweet and spicy 👍Wife also pleased 😃”

“Best waffle fries AND Market Salads with Apple Cider vinegarette dressing are a lovely combo!!! Great service and very well run with a strong management team.”
