“My daughter wanted an ice cream so we ran in, she played the clawGame and didn’t win, no worries, better luck next time- as we turned around the gentleman had a prize waiting for her anyways. A small act that made our day. Thank you for the hospitality! Looking forward to ordering next week as well! :)“
“I have visited this location multiple times and I am always greeted very well by the staff. I've tried the shakes and they are AMAZING!! It does not have a traditional protein powder taste that is bad, they are genuinely good! They have other options like coffees and teas that look great as well. The inside is well decorated and super cute. The only bad thing is their hours of operation are always changing so if you're planning on going, check out their Instagram to see what their hours that day is. Times listed on here are not accurate.“
“Really enjoy this restaurant, particularly their patio! I’ve actually never bothered dining inside. Love taking our dog out to dinner — it’s like her special occasion restaurant. Plenty of menu variety, even the pup meal includes a choice of chicken or burger, white or brown rice. My favorite dish is the Tex Mex salad. The outdoor atmosphere has great vibes… big fire pit in the middle, side ‘walls’ that roll down in the inclement weather, tvs showing the best sporting events.“
“This is my favorite place to stop when I’m in the Lake Forest area. The food and drinks are great, I’ve never waited for a table, and the service is outstanding. Grace T is the warmest welcome every time I come in. I specifically ask for her every single time because she makes it such a fun experience. She’s the best of the best! Great vibes on a Thursday evening, I’ll be back ASAP!“
“Adam is the owner and strives to bring the community together through great coffee and experiences. You can’t help but to feel right at home in the shop and you’ll always find more than just great coffee- pastries, food, art or even make a new friend! There’s also a running club that meets every Wednesday and Saturday at 6am. Everyone is welcome!“
“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.“
“We stopped at this place for lunch recently. Very good food and fast service. Everything is reasonably priced compared to other hotdog places. Portions are very generous and fries are perfectly crispy. Cheese sauce on side was great and not watery, gyro was perfect and grilled chicken sandwich was very juicy. Would highly recommend it and will definitely be back“
“The first time I ever went, I went with a few friends that recommended it to me. I usually don’t like milk tea, but kopa had a smoothie option that I absolutely loved. The boba was chewy but I liked it. When I went for the first time I got to write on the chalkboard and that was a happy experience for me being able to have someone read what I wrote and have a better day. Every time I get the chance to go, I go. This place gives me exceptional drinks that I absolutely love and good vibes whenever I go. I have never had a bad experience here and I would recommend this place to anyone I meet. The staff here have been so kind to me and will take full responsibility if my drink was made wrong. I love going here and would 10/10 guide someone to this amazing place.“
“There is a reason the line is always long here, the ice cream is amazing and it is affordable for the whole family. It may take you a few visits to perfect your order, but it is well worth it. I always go for the PB Sundae with chocolate ice cream.“
“I cannot state this with enough enthusiasm. This place is INCREDIBLE. The food is outstanding, unlike any other restaurant in the area. As for this place being RACIST?!? That reviewer either clearly did not go into the restaurant or they just want to cause controversy, as they have people of all races WORKING THERE and the staff is treated very well, like they are all family! That comment is clearly insane and looking for attention. Back to my review. The spaghetti with sausage is so authentic and delicious, the tomato bisque soup is clearly homemade and delicious! The mediteranean salad is mindblowing. This is truly authentic, homemade food and all seasoned PERFECTLY. We are always loyal customers of Lauretta's and will definitely be back!!!“
“Went in a few days ago and was greeted by the owner who totally over-served my 2 kids in the best way possible. We ordered minis and he gave huge portions with lots of the toppings we ordered. You could see he did it because he thought it was fun and wanted to see my girls happy. That's a perfect local business, and one that serves up delicious treats alongside the excellent and warm service.“
“This was my first visit to Greg's Frozen Custard and I was impressed. I didn't know why my GPS was redirecting me through a neighborhood (Pleasure Drive - lol), but you have to enter off South Lake (by Auto Zone). We drove up and it was one of those stand-alone structures that you occasionally see (like a big ice cream cone) that are usually popular for the novelty. The flavor of the day was butter pecan. I ordered a scoop of butter pecan and added hot fudge and whipped cream. I was surprised by how thick and creamy and rich the custard was. The hot fudge was also thick, not a thin syrup, and this was a decadent treat. There were plenty of pecans in the custard. My friend had the chocolate custard and that was thick and rich with a satisfying flavor. We liked that the custard isn't overly sweet. There were just a handful of customers when we arrived but shortly thereafter the parking lot started to fill up. There is a gazebo with some seating but this was a rainy spring evening so we ate in the car. Now that I know you're here, Greg's Custard, I'll be back to try your other flavors.“
“Excellent food and people. We are from TX and are big into BBQ. I was worried about even trying BBQ in the Chicago area since we're almost food snobs when it comes to this. Thanks to some of the previous reviews we gave it a shot and were in no way disappointed. The brisket is exceptional here, I won't say it beats all I've ever had but it is absolutely top 5 and a welcome surprise for this far north. The rib tips are excellent along with them. I can't speak for the sauces as we couldn't have them, but that should just speak more volumes for the meat, it does to me at least. The staff are also pretty awesome, give this place a shot they won't disappoint you in the slightest.“
“Amazing bbq offered in the same building as truly unique and scrumptious beers and cocktails?! And live music?! Sign me up. I’ve been here quite a few times since finding this gem and I recommend visiting frequently for mental health purposes <3“
“It's an ice cream stand. Return from the Marytown Shrine, I couldn't ignore the 'flavor of the say - blueberry " sign calling me. Many flavor served in cones, shakes, Sundays or concretes. I had a the blueberry as a malt. Proper flavor levels for the blueberry and the sweetness, not overly sweet. Great formulation, thick but it would move through the straw. Solid place. Service? The got the order correct, prepared it promptly and the change was correct. No problems. Would return“

“Here for brunch @ noon. Seated promptly, everyone was kind, the table was set and clean. The 360 fireplace is a nice touch, just watch the step up/down in that area. Service was quick, order accurate and a small pot of coffee was left at the table.“
“Wanted to thank you for delicious pizza and calzone and excellent service. I made a schedule for 7 pm but we got home earlier and I asked to reschedule the delivery for earlier, everything was done as requested. We received our order 30 minutes earlier and everything was delicious. Definitely recommending, friendly staff, fast delivery and very delicious food.“
“My kiddos and I absolutely love to make a stop at Something's Brewing in Downtown Grayslake. Great atmosphere, friendly service and they have the best pastries in town for sure. Coffee is delicious too. This is a wonderful local business and I highly recommend it!“
“Good choice for toppings on vanilla or chocolate soft serve ice cream. Soft serve was good quality but instantly turns runny in mostly anything other than a cone (eg sundae). Personally I'm a custard guy though and would rather have ice cream flavors instead of toppings. Next time we'll have to try their shaved ice.“
“My wife and I did a tour. Our experience was great. Amanda did the tour and was very knowledgeable and very down to earth. The smell in the air hits your nose as soon as you walk in and it’s heavenly. The spirits were delicious as well. We bought a bottle of Rye (highly recommend). This was a Christmas gift from my wife! Thanks Copper Fiddle, we will definitely be coming back“
“Yummy & healthy acai bowls & cute catered seasonal menu items to choose from! Always a friendly face willing to explain the options whenever I stop in. Love following them on all their socials to know when new things drop. Would def recommend to a friend looking for healthy alternatives in their area!“
“The food was delicious as always, and the service was great. Tina was an excellent waiter. The Alpine omelette had a lovely flavor and the Door County Melt with Gluten Free bread was remarkable. The coffee, however, tasted like it was on the burner too long. One of the pleasant features of coming to Egg Harbor was the flavor of the day coffee and we’re disappointed that they no longer carry that. The specialty coffees do not make up for that. As a plus, they have a gluten-free menu and offer it upfront.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free“
“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.“
“Th Rail House has become my absolute favorite place to enjoy good food, good drinks with the greatest company with the bartenders, Alex, Jess and Mari. This place passes the vibe check, no judgement zone, accepts everyone as long as you don't act a fool! If you're looking for good food and an amazing drink you have to order their wings with the rail house sauce and the "Alex", the best combination.“
“It was my first time here, but I had heard a lot about this establishment. Excellent service, recommendations on choosing cakes or pastries. While I was here, I noticed that a lot of regular people came. The atmosphere here is warm. Choice of coffee ☕️ or tea ☕️ - milk or cream. You can also pre-order for a specific date.Parking: We parked without any problems and were able to visit this wonderful place“
“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!!“

“This is a great store with great health options. Seeing all these 1 star reviews because they don't require masks is kind of sad on the part of those leaving reviews. It's a private establishment - respect it or go home but don't write reviews behind a screen.“
“A 1st timer to this specific Marriott Hotel. Stayed here from March 12-15, 2024, to attend a Navy Boot Camp Graduation ceremony. Great service at the Front Desk! Room was a little smaller than expected even with a King Size Bed in there. Sink water was hecka murky for some odd reason! And the water itself was so slow coming out of the faucet and shower! The Cable TV didn't have that many channels on it at all. Didn't get a chance to go to the Fitness Center or Pool during the stay. Maybe next time if around the area. A lot of different places to eat at, however, most of the sit-down restaurants are pricey and portions are small. Fast food joints like Raising Cane's is there, a Hibachi Buffet and others. And stores such as Walmart, Marshalls and Target are around the hotel, too. The Gurnee Outlet Mall is nearby as well...“
“Try either of the hot dogs. My favorite was the Whoopskidawg. My husband liked the Superdawg better. Great place for trying authentic Chicago food and the history is great and atmosphere was so fun! We tried 2 types of beer also and they were very good with the dogs. Oh and a chocolate malt for dessert was nice to take on a walk by the river behind the restaurant.“
“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.“
“The service was exceptional, just as one would anticipate from a higher-end restaurant. Ryan, our server, demonstrated politeness, expertise, and patience regarding our dietary restrictions. He was attentive and tailored his suggestions to our preferences. The food was delicious.“
“Went on a whim on Friday and had a great experience with Lizzie. She was patient and super helpful when making recommendations. Literally everything she suggested was to die for. Can't wait until I'm back in the area ....... making sure Lizzie is working before heading in!“
“This restaurant/bar boasts a charming ambiance and an eclectic menu. The entire staff was delightful, and our server was particularly kind. The Bloody Marys were spot-on. The food was delicious and served in generous portions. Leaving room for dessert was a great decision, as we absolutely loved the Huckleberry Pie.“
