“Awesome food. I was told that this place had phenomenal food and I was not disappointed. The food was awesome. Burgers i highly Recommend but what made it better was the service and atmosphere. Diana was one of the best host ive had the blessings to have serve us. All the tvs playing sports inculding college wrestling. Not many sport bars have on wrestling. Thank you for the great time woodys“
“I dined here for the first time tonight and had a bartender named Kerry serve me. Kerry was a beautiful perfect princess and the most wonderful angel that ever lived. I had the sliders with chipotle ranch dipping sauce and several beers. It was a truly perfect experience. Kerry should be given a raise and receive lots and lots of unending praise. Thank you TWood!“
“Been going to Local since September 2023 and I absolutely love this place. The food is amazing especially the pizza and potato skins and other wraps! I look forward to Thurs Karaoke, but am disappointed that the Dj Drose was fired. He made the experience so exciting and fun. I hope they can bring him back!“
“Small older building but everything was clean. There were a few high tables and a bar with stools lining the window. Lots of character to the place. Good prices, plenty of menu choices, and the staff was friendly enough.I ordered the double cheeseburger. It was grilled on the flat top and then chargrilled, always a good sign of a good burger. It was well seasoned and served on a toasted bun. Thumbs up.“
“Worth the wait and must try! Beautiful and unique venue in the unassuming town of Des Plaines. Our server was kind and welcoming, food was delicious, drinks were fun and tasty. The only two items that were less than ideal, the horrible acoustics (incredibly loud) and although it was too on my list to try, the chicken shawarma rolls were underwhelming. Even with those two items, the great service and food quality it's still worth the 5 star review. We sat upstairs, which very much appreciated, being out of the hustle and bustle of the downstairs. Looking forward to trying the brunch and the outside patio... overlooking the water.“
“This is a wonderful restaurant. The food is good, service excellent, and atmosphere nice. I had dinner here and they had a new spring menu. My only complaint is that the food menu is a little limited; I would have expected more options. I had the salmon, which was very good, and paired with an appetizer of the crab cake. Finally, the wine selection is more than sufficient.Parking: Parking is not an issue: plenty of space and easy to find.“
“We Enjoyed this Locally Owned Restaraunt. Everything Was Delicious! Especially the Peach Riesling Moscow Mules ??Our Dishes Were Very Well Seasoned and Great Presentation. However We Would Have Liked Some Actual Lobster Meat in Our Bisque.The Service Was OK. Our Server Would Rush Away Before We Had a Chance to Answer If We Needed Anything.We Would Definately Go Back Maybe Try Lunch Time Next Time.Parking: Plenty of Parking Adjacent to the Building.“
“Delicious food and excellent service! FRY CHICKEN ‘N FRIES catered our wedding, and their flavorful chicken and crispy fries were a crowd favorite. Guests couldn't stop complimenting the meal. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable!“

“What a great show !!! You must go if you love horses !!!Kid-friendliness: It's all about the kids amazing show with horses that kids don't get to see often beautiful and talented creatures and the actors, riders and trainers are amazing people dedicated to the show!!!“
“I enjoyed the Escargot, Oyster Rockefeller, three cheese potatoes, Mac and Cheese, an the cocktails. Steaks looked great and large enough to share. But the most important item was the bar service staff! They were amazing! I recommend anyone going!“

“My dining experience here was great, our server was Matt, he was very attentive, made sure our experience was great. The food didn't take too long considering they had a big party going on while we were seated. Definitely recommend coming in here ! And ask for Matt he won't disappoint!“
“Great theater, orchestra and talented cast, singing and dancing. The actresses including the burlesque dance scenes were perfectly cast. Couldn't relate to the story line of this play (guys and dolls) well enough to recommend it, but would love to see the actors in another play to showcase their substantial talents.And hope drury can pick more timely subject matter.“
“We pretty much come here once a week. If we miss a week, I’m craving just a bit too much. The flavors are a really different in such an amazing way, and the prep is definitely chef disciplined (and inspired). The vibe is fantastic. Staff is super friendly. For first timers, be sure to get, or check out online, the bar menu for some creative and really tasty sandwiches. Highly recommend!“
“Absolute banger. The Italian ice was to die for, the watermelon one was so good it made crave more by the end of it.The beef was perfectly wet and the peppers were just right.The only reason I didn’t make it five stars was that the beef was missing cheese. If that was on it, it would’ve been perfect.“
“Cauliflower app was amazing. Burgers are generous. Premium ingredients. Service outstanding. Atmosphere is great but seating is not comfortable. Chairs felt not stable. High top. I had a sincere senior and the next 2 tables had the same. Might sound crazy but I felt stressed because I thought one of them was bound to fall. ( getting on or off their chair)“
“Nothing but amazing things to say about this place! From the atmosphere, servers, food and Mary herself! You feel at home there. Mary knows you, the staff is beyond amazing. Some of the sweetest servers out there! Mary has theme days and in the summer it’s not uncommon for her to have DJ’s outside! Go check it out!“
“My family and I absolutely love this spot!! Their daily specials are top notch. And their chicken noodle soup is one of the best out there. You can tell it's homemade. We have not had something we did not like from Sunrise grill. The staff here is so wonderful. Always so nice and accommodating. We love the staff there. We always feel so welcomed.“
“I was pleasantly surprised at how good this place is! Andrew was a wonderful server and very helpful. This place makes everything well. The burgers looked amazing. I selected a special of Garlic rigatoni and sausage. I also had the beet salad which was really, really good. This place is very comfy and the staff is fantastic from front of the house to back!“
“We LOVE this restaurant, and will always come back for a fun/delicious night out, but we always seem to have something missing or incorrect with our order. The servers are very nice/accommodating, but it would be preferable to have our orders come out correctly the first time.“
“Food was good. Service was great! Atmosphere is okay not bad but really dim lighting for me. The paper on the tables kind of cheapends the experience makes it fell a little less fine dining even though I completely understand why they do it.“
“Flew from Reno to Chicago to see my son play lacrosse in the Milwaukee area. Had to stay in Chicago over night due to problems with our rental car. Happen to stay right next to Frannie"s Beef. So glad we stopped for a Italian beef and sausage combo sandwich. I have been craving a good italian beef sandwich since my last trip to Chicago. This place is an icon. Definitely will be stopping here again.“
“Service was great even though we came 10 minutes before closing, additionally we got absolutely great recommendations from supporting staff. The drinks were superb. Food was delicious. Favorite was the octopus! -Overhead lighting was a minus though. Bring sunglasses.“
“I've been here about 3 times now, and every time has been a great experience. Fast, accurate, and polite service. They have a pretty extensive menu, so you're sure to find something that's going to please your appetite. And the food is simply good. Doesn't matter if you get breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Everything I've had so far was darn good. I'm going to make sure Mr. A's stays on my normal lunch/brunch rotation.“
“I love this Family-owned business and especially that it is owned by a veteran. My family has been coming here for years, and my go to was always the Shrimp tacos! My last time in with a friend I tried a Burger. I highly recommend The Burgatory. Goat cheese on a burger- Who knew? It's drool-worthy. The other new addition I'm obsessed with is the Fried Pickles and Cheese curds appetizer. Why has no one else thought to combine these two before? And their homemade pie is unbeatable! New flavor each week. The staff is fabulous and these guys just celebrated 15 years in business. Cheers to Ellyn's Tap & Grill.“
“Today was my first time trying Lazydog and my boyfriend and I were beyond impressed! We were looking for bar food and I wasn’t expecting much, but this place blew me away. The quality and flavor of our plates were equivalent to a fine dining restaurant, for half the price. Our service was similar as well, our server Sarah was beyond nice and helpful. The manager surprised us with free fries for it being our first visit. Other restaurants - please take notes. This is our new favorite spot!“
“Practically no wait at all to be seated. Our server Dana was very friendly and attentive with our table and got us refills without anyone asking. Pizza and calamari were both delicious, would definitely recommend, especially during lent as they even have a menu for anyone that can't eat meat because of lent.“
“Very good ambience, great customer service. Ordered rare plus bone in ribeye. Slight smell and coldness noted to the meat. Not to a point that I had to ask to remake the steak but enough for me to be slightly disappointed with the steakhouse signature menu. I ordered. Rare plus. Might be because of it ? But I ALWAYS order rare plus in all of my steak. No inside steak was cold. But I am very happy with the staff. I would return any time. It is a minor thing . Too bad they don't have draft beers on tap. That would have been perfect“
“Staff was great! Rudy and Ericka. We called in advance bc we had 2 in a party of 6 to have canes/walkers. Seating near the door was made available. It was my daughter's birthday and everyone was very kind! Food was fresh and quickly served and we needed for nothing!“
“Haven't been to a Dennys in forever. No it's not fancy dining, but for what it is (sign said America's Diner), it was excellent. Menu is revamped with upgrades that looked good going by the table. My breakfast was really good. Prices are reasonable, food and service better than expected from the "old" Dennys of years ago.I will be returning soon for a lunch or dinner.“
“I love Lola's Diner! The price of the food is absolutely amazing especially for how huge the portions are. The food always tasted great as well. There are also a bunch of options and they're very open to supplementing foods. The diner itself looks super cute, it has a retro old diner look to it with teal booths and chairs, just a nice environment overall. The service is great, the waiters and waitresses are always kind and quick, especially Jose! The food also doesn't take a long time to come out even when every table is full and they're super busy!“
“Bergen went above and beyond. She was super helpful and empathetic. My order wasn’t processed correctly online. She didn’t have to take my order, but she did. She is amazing. Every time I come in she is polite and helpful. Thank you Bergen.“
“Can't say enough about this place. I have been coming to Uncle Bill's since 2007. Mostly it was lunch and my favorite rib-eye stake sandwich at the time. I came back to this place after 14 years of being out of the country. It is still the same family atmosphere, great food and a friendly service. Uncle Bill and Tim - very friendly and approachable, as always. When you come regularly you start to see familiar faces. They have long-time customers dining there. Great place for family breakfast, lunch and dinners. Tim, great seeing you after all these years!“

“Most in our group had a wonderful meal...chicken sandwiches, and tuna poke bowl. Also flatbread appetizer and brownie dessert were wonderful. However my quinoa burger was not very good. First of all it fell apart when, after cutting in half, I tried to pick it up. And just not much flavor. Was disappointed in that. Other issue was that most everyone had a taste for pasta, and mac and cheese was the only pasta option.“
“I love the atmosphere here! Very industrial, loft vibes are nice. Menu is very good. I would say the menu is very diverse and reminds me of a fusion restaurant. Great drinks( I had the passion fruit margarita) and so are rhe buugers! Nomi provided excellent service!“
“We have Blondie's right in the town where we live. It has been a neighborhood favorite for years. Family friendly, with great service. The atmosphere can be loud on a weekend morning, so ne ready to shares your conversations. Food is very good, and the prices make it worth the time.“
“From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, the staff here are fantastic. Upon entering we were greeted with a warm good morning from the cooks and the waitresses, even though they were slammed. We took spots at the counter so we could watch the cooks work their magic. Those two were so much fun to watch while we ate. They’re very skilled and put out delicious food. Everything they made looked amazing, from the omelettes to the salads. We ordered a corned beef hash and two eggs with ham and hash browns. Everything was fantastic. We can’t wait to go back!Cash only.“
“This is one place I have to say anything you get you cam’t go wrong. I haven’t had one thing that I didn’t enjoy so yummy ,The services is excellent. The food is excellent You won’t regret it ?️ that chicken on pita at double cheeseburger outstanding.?????????????????⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Not the first time I’ve been to this restaurant, but first time for dinner as I usually join coworkers for lunch. Kind of a different experience as far as entrée sizes and prices. For lunch I feel it’s a moderately good deal but for dinner I was a little surprised at the portion size compared to the price, we did enjoy all of our dishes but having a hard time with the value. The charred cauliflower appetizer was tasty but small portion for over $12. The lasagna Bolognese made with a chicken sausage was equivalent of two large raviolis stacked on top of each other. For $20 I would expect a bigger portion. Overall a higher rating due to the ambience of the restaurant and service was good.“
“Located in the Rose Hotel, same proximity as Dave and Buster’s and Trulucks. If the parking is full, just park in the huge parking lot across the street by Dave and Buster’s. When you walk into the hotel, the Thorn restaurant is to your right. The vibe is semi classy and intimate. It can also be a casual place to hang out, eat, and watch tv. Service was fantastic, they really take care of you over here. Prices are reasonable given the atmosphere. I had shrimp tacos, hemp hummus, and the Westcoast smasher burger. Pro tip: when you check in on Yelp, you get the hemp hummus for free. It was big enough to share with two other people.-shrimp tacos 5 - these are good sized tacos. Easily shareable. The shrimp pieces were fresh and juicy. Shells were soft. Avocado pieces were large chunks. The corn tortilla chips were crunchy and did not break easily.-hemp hummus 5 - fresh ingredients and warm naan. Very light appetizer.-Westcoast smasher 5 - ordered it medium and it came out perfect. It’s a very clean burger. Your hands don’t get oily or greasy. Meat practically melts in every bite. Special sauce amplifies the flavor. French fries were crispy and they’re on the thinner side. Well seasoned.“
“I was pleasantly surprised by everything; service, food & cost. Will definitely be going back for more. Had skirt steak & eggs with pancakes instead of toast. The cut of skirt steak was proper length, width & thickness. No weird thin cuts here. Also, the pancakes are amazing. The waitress was so friendly & attentive that she is the gold standard & one of the best I've had anywhere, my entire life. Nothing over the top of phoney, just a darn excellent person.“
“I tried two savory crepes and they were great. I'm a hungry guy and one crepe is a good amount of food for the price. There were two different veggie crepes on the menu, which I loved to see. There was at least one other that may be meatless, the mac n cheese crepe on special. The menu over all was extensive and fun to choose from. They had Deep River chips, which are excellent. Will definitely be back for more savory crepes and to try a sweet crepe. My one criticism is that despite eating in, our food was served on a paper plate and only plasticware was available. Eating a crepe with a plastic fork is a bit awkward. It would be nice if they had actual silverware when you're eating in.“
“The food is good but the only problem I have is being charged extra and not told nothing about til I looked on my receipt. They charge me 25 cents because my oder was for take then she told me it's usually 65 cents as if I got some deal. When taking someone order that should be told off top. And this is my third time purchasing food and the other 2 times u was never charged a take out fee. So I will not be going back because I refuse to already spending money there and be charged cause I'm not sitting in and not even being told of this charged hell no.“
“Not only do they have an impressive selection of very tasty brews, the food is gourmet level, even if you just go for lunch! My wife and I enjoy it, perhaps a little too much. Our kids less so, but they're not old enough to enjoy the good stuff. ?“
“We waited too long before trying for the first time! Really delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. It felt like we were being served by family in their own home. Fantastic price-to-value. Some great local history on the walls, too. Definitely will return.“
“I have been here twice for dinner and each time has been great. Plenty of menu items, and great service. Great for large groups too! Large parking lot right outside of the restaurant, clean bathrooms, large bar area and food always comes out hot. We will definitely be coming back!“
“I had dinner here while traveling. Great spot. Sat at the bar. Had a Caesar salad, fire baked bread, and the prime rib, plus a bourbon. Food was excellent, service was really good by the bartenders who waited on me as they did not rush me to try and turn customers which I really am a fan of. 5 stars, would eat here again.“
“Went there to see a band that a couple of people I knew are in. Enjoyed them.There were a lot of us - putting space at a premium. The food and drinks were good and reasonably priced. Because of the crowd, service was a bit slow but still capable.“
“The atmosphere was very clean, the food was very good and the service was pretty quick. We got our refills on coffee as well as we got checked them every few minutes to see if we needed anything if we had to make a complaint. There was a small little egg shall piece in the eggs but nobody's perfect. I would highly recommend this place to my friends.“
“Yummy! I was on a quest to find a true chicago style hotdog i and this place delivered! I always forget to take a picture before digging in! The hotdog was spot on! It was my first time there, so I ordered a cheeseburger and cheese fries to test out too! Everything was absolutely delicious! The owner was super nice and cool! Definitely be back for more!“
“Love this place. Been coming here for many years, the owners make you feel like family! Great food, great value! On Sunday, they have Cream of Chicken Rice soup. The best! The servers are very friendly. Everyone is right on point Seems like they only serve breakfast and lunch lately. Hope they stay around forever“
