“We used to go to the restaurant in Edina MN and have been to the one in Chicago. Perfect breakfast restaurant. The 49er Flapjacks are fantastic, as is the waffle. The bacon is perfectly cooked. A great experience, which is why it is always crowded on the weekends.“
“They give you nice fat chunks of gyro meat here, it's excellent. My wife and I had a Chicago dog, pizza puff, bomber special, onion rings, Oreo shake. Everything was very good and the prices were fine. Bomber Special and Pizza Puff were my faves. Great dive vibes; it's a tiny 8-stool bar with a little TV in the corner. Playing tennis when I went (hell yeah)The gyro meat was chunky and had a good bite, and with BBQ sauce on the bomber special it was insane. The onion rings are breaded and I personally prefer battered, but the breading was even and fried well, and the inside was all beautiful stringy onions. Pizza puff was fantastic, great cheese and sauce ratio and really satisfying bites all the way through.Chicago dog was good, they use a poppyseed bun (I'm sick of going to spots with regular buns, this is a real dog) except I think the sports peppers were a little heavy. Tomatoes were a little light, but I prefer that. Oreo shake was excellent, it was creamy and a little icey in a good wayThe guy was really nice too. He was great at interacting with the customers that were interested and laying off the ones just trying to enjoy their food. 10/10 spot“
“My two friends and I had a lovely evening at Convito Cafe. All the staff with whom we interacted were very pleasant and professional, and the food was quite good. Almost best of all, they kept the music soft, and we were actually able to converse with each other without having to shout - something that is becoming increasingly difficult in many restaurants. Thank you!“
“This is a place that the entire community appreciates. I commend small businesses like this for keeping their commitment to being a wonderful local option for Wilmette and the surrounding neighborhoods. However, I do wish that they had at least a few vegan entree options. If they did, people like me would visit more often to eat instead of just having to settle with a tea and fruit.“
“I was born in Brooklyn, New York and came to Chicago 50 years ago. I have been searching for New York pizza throughout the years. What most places call New York pizza does not pass the muster. After all these years I have finally discovered NY pizza at Pizza by Sal in Wilmette. Thank you!!!!!“
“Restaurant was open and bright with a nice fireplace and great looking bar. Our server was prompt and knowledgeable when we asked about entrees. The crab cake and the short ribs were delicious. The butter cake was very good also. We enjoyed our evening and will definitely add the Lawn to our dining list.“
“I stumbled upon this gem this morning and can't rave about it enough! I ordered the banana pancakes and they live up to the hype! Lots on bananas baked inside. But I have to say that their corned beef hash was the best I've EVER had, SO DELISH! I'll definitely be going back. But note, they only take cash to stop at the bank first! A new favorite!“
“Located in Wilmette, this establishment masterfully combines the lively atmosphere of a Greek diner with the homey feel of an American tavern. My first experience was marked by exceptionally warm, welcoming, and responsive service. Not only does it offer a wide range of drink options, including creative mocktails and non-alcoholic beers, but the food menu is equally impressive, catering to every palate in your party. This spot has become a true neighborhood gem, buzzing with energy on weekends and providing a cozy retreat for locals and visitors alike. Living in the Twin Cities but originally from Chicago, this place brought me a sense of homecoming. I look forward to coming back. Opa!“
“I rarely write reviews but after our meal from Cluckers, I felt I must. Our first time getting food from Cluckers/Wilmette and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The first impression was the very friendly and efficient staff. Lovely to deal with! Then the meal...no fast food flavors here, it tasted more like homemade! Every aspect of our dinner was delicious: chicken, cornbread muffins, slaw and Caesar salad. No doubt we will be back to try something else!“
