“I have passed this restaurant too many times to count. Had a few friends recommend for an anniversary dinner and glad I went. Really cool "old school" ambience. Great service, never felt rushed and answered all questions on the menu. So many things I wanted to try but went with the filet and lobster. The steak was cooked perfectly as I had asked for medium rare. My wife had steak also and said the same. The food was so good that I'll be back. I would make reservations next time as the place was quite crowded at 8:00 on a Saturday. Great meal!“
“Chums is a great place to get a fish meal,you can get walleye and catfish grilled if you like. The catfish is marinated, so it tastes really good, and not fishy at all. The coleslaw and fries are both good. The owner and cook are friendly and will answer any questions you may have. I tried both their walleye and catfish and enjoyed both, although I'll try the grilled walleye again with fries. Come in soon and try them out as it's always been a good experience for me and my wife. the atmosphere is comfortable with an authentic feel.“
“It would be helpful to specify RAW salmon on the menu. People who have never ordered or aren’t familiar with poke bowls may not know that the salmon comes raw. After nuking it in the microwave, the salmon was edible snd really good. Thank you!“
“Awesome awesome awesome! Our second time dining at El Jefe, just as the first 5 star experience! The staff are wonderful, very attentive, and very happy! Food was excellent, I had the grilled octopus and devoured it!!!! My recommendation for food - anything on the menu! Great atmosphere, great people, I can’t say enough…“
“Excellent Thai food for sure however I have one pet peeve: We ordered a curry dish and the white rice portion was tiny. When I got up from the table to ask for more they charged me $2 more. Curry is served over rice. How cheap can you get? You can buy white rice in 25lb bags for $18 and that's a retail price. No excuse here, sorry. This is unacceptable.“
“The Best Tacos Arabes that I've ever had, besides my Mama's Ofcourse .the Arabe Salsa is perfect!My husband loves their burrito Grande , Delicious .Mario is so Kind and takes the time to know his Customers by name.

“From service to food, this is the best brunch spot on my radar! Mandy is the best waitress I’ve experienced- both hospitable and super fun! Just loved her! The spot is super cute, not too loud, not too quiet. A true gem in South Elgin! This is my new go-to brunch spot!“
“I wanted something easy but fresh and Poke Bros did not disappoint. I came for lunch on a Saturday and the place was empty. I ordered right away and found an empty table to eat. Inside, there are a few tables but most people got their bowls to go. Everything felt very clean and bright and the young lady who took my order was very polite and helpful. All the ingredients looked and tasted very fresh and the portion size hit the spot.“
“Great food and atmosphere. Every table I've eaten at felt intimate even though it is an open floor plan with plenty of seating. I've never felt like I was crowded or uncomfortable.The food is amazing. I had the filet and it was cooked exactly as requested and seasoned perfectly. The bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese is a must try for everyone!Always a must eat at when I'm in the area!“
“I'm glad I stopped here. Service was prompt and the gentleman at the register was really nice. I ordered the large chicken tender and small chicken Gizzard meal. There was a couple in front of me.He said about 10 min and it was right on time.The portions are very big and the breading was crunchy not oily. He asked if I wanted lemon pepper seasoning for both. I figured you don't ask unless it's popular. Boy it did not disappoint imo. Super fire! The coleslaw was good, it's very simple. If I had to "complain" the only thing I was just ok with was the fries. Only reason why is I like mine more crispy. They were still good though. Both the mild (bbq?)and hot (thicker style of a Louisiana mixed with Frank's?) sauces were good. For the price and portions it's definitely worth the try. The guy at the register was also very thankful for me stopping in and made sure I knew that before I left. I'll definitely be back!“
“This place has a fairly extensive menu, with a wide variety of dishes for all tastes (rice, chicken, fish, beef, pork, vegetables). The atmosphere is very pleasant with a decoration quite typical of a Chinese restaurant. As for the food, it has a great flavor, we ordered rice with shrimp (good quantity) and a dish of sweet and sour beef with vegetables, both dishes were delicious and three people ate perfectly with these two dishes. I recommend it ?.“
“The service was great.The food was wonderful. I had the grilled calamari appetizer that would change anyone's ewww? to ohhhh?.The seating was spacious, but a little bit loud. If you whisper words of love to your special someone, no one around you will hear, but your special someone may not either.“
“Responding to owners response:You're welcome. Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our bowls. I chose salmon and tuna and my wife had chicken. The portions were fair and even generous and all food was fresh. We are excited to return with hopefully the same satisfaction.“
“You won't believe the flavor explosion at this spot in Elgin - they never disappoint! Their crispy fried chicken and fish are simply out of this world, and don't even get me started on the lemon pepper seasoning - it's a game changer! And if that's not enough, their mild sauce takes the whole experience to a whole new level. You've got to try it to believe it!“
“The most important quality for me at a five star restaurant is service. Our service was outstanding! We sat at the bar on a late Sunday afternoon and the bartender was extremely attentive. We never had to ask for anything. She was refilling our soft drinks and water before they were completely empty. We also did not ever have to wait to place an order for more wine. She was not hovering or intrusive at all. She was simply extremely attentive but from a distance. We ordered salads and appetizers and they were delicious. This was our first time at Eddie Merlot’s, but we will definitely return.“
“Great service. The full steak nachos was literally a mountain of chips and super tasty. Just the right amount of toppings and cheese. My son had the burger and fries off of the kids menu. All items were served hot and were really delicious. Recommend this place!“
“Lots of serious seafood eaters go here. Plates are big. The place is noisy in a pleasant way and seemingly always full of people who are having great meals. If you want health food this is not your place. If you enjoy eating though I don't think you would be disappointed.“
“I've been a customer since they had the restaurant in the last spot. The food from this place is the best Thai food I've ever had in the 15 years living here. The cooking method and season everything perfectly. Noodles my favorite Pad see eiw. My husband is shrimp fried rice. Most of all 1. Satay chicken sticks with a sweet satay sauce..... yummmWheelchair accessibility: Not very big inside and a small door for entry“
“I walked in during lunch and got the kung pao chicken combo with chicken fried rice. It was ready in just 10 minutes. The portions were very big and the food was very tasty. I eat a lot of chinese food and this was one of the best. I'll be coming back“
“Let me tell you 5 stars!!! I appreciate the mixed flank steak, the chef's kiss, the meat has a tender flavor and with a miche omg the best... The chef that crazy day was Brian Anaya, oh, they salute him for me because the food is super good. Ooh and my sister grabbed the fried suchi with the cream that comes with it! Of the best!!! Greetings The Huichol really have something in their hands something is going well yesss perfect... get out of there full as a tamale lol!!“
“A wonderful place for a surprise birthday dinner or casual drink with great live entertainment. Food was amazing and the service was great.

Would recommend to anyone!Vegetarian options: Veggie options availableParking: Very popular location when live entertainment is in going parking can fill up but street parking is availableKid-friendliness: Family environment“
“The cheddar biscuits are always a hit with Dad & I. Had lobster bisque which we found out they're discontinuing. But will still have their clam chowder. Also had fried, breaded, calamari - tender but nothing special. Clean place, friendly waitress.“
“I came here once but they used to have a slightly larger selection on the menu. Judging from recent reviews, I guess they don’t have many sandwiches anymore? I definitely wished they had a website or some sort, so you can see what they offer now. The tuna tower was an excellent appetizer. Prices were slightly expensive and portions were okay. Seafood was fresh. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Ample amount of parking. They have a decent amount of seating.“
