Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Gurnee

Overall a pretty good experience both times I’ve been. The food was incredible both times, however, the service made us feel as though we were a burden each time. Probably wouldn’t drive out of my way to go again because of the service, but it was great food.

Ordered pickup for a garlic burger, pretzel bites, mac & chicken, and a bowl of French onion soup. What I actually got was…a thimble of soup. No exaggeration they handed me a dip sized cup that barely cleared 3 ounces. For $10. I’ve had cough syrup bottles with more volume. I called, thinking it had to be a mistake. The guy on the phone told me I must’ve received a “cup” instead of a bowl. Bro, if that’s a cup, then my shot glass is a mixing bowl. His followup? “Aww, do you want to come back?” Nah, I’ll save the gas money and just warn future victims here. Taste wise? Let’s just say if you’ve had a few beers, you might not notice how sad it is. But sober? You’ll realize you just paid fine dining prices for what amounts to a sample at Costco minus the flavor. Shame, really. I wanted dinner, not a snack.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Timothy O'Toole's in Gurnee, Illinois! This Irish pub is a gem. We tried the shepherd's pie, fish and chips, deviled eggs, and Reuben egg rolls, and every single dish was outstanding. The shepherd's pie was hearty and flavorful, the fish and chips were perfectly crispy, the deviled eggs had a delightful twist, and the Reuben egg rolls were a creative, delicious surprise. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with true Irish pub charm. The service was top-notch, and the food came out hot and fresh. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving amazing comfort food with an Irish flair. Five stars all the way!

The waitress was great. The buffalo chicken spring rolls tasted great. However, my son didn't enjoy the orange chicken.

I enjoyed the food, the variety 🤤 of the menu, the price is above average but worth it. 😉 I got Birria grilled cheese 🤔 & Birria bowl, which we disliked the corn tortillas. We didn't need a reservation for a party of 8! 🤗

Great pub food and lots of drink options. Great spot to catch a game and have a nice meal to go along. Classic pub style experience!

Always a great stop for a drink and a great Ruben. $1.50 for a side cup of mayonnaise is a little steep tho..

Giordano’s has really good deep dish pizza. This was a really good experience for my first time visiting Chicago. I knew I could not leave Chicago without getting a deep dish pizza. For an appetizer, the sampler had a good variety of everything. It came with chicken nuggets, which were basically boneless wings, mozzarella sticks, cheesy garlic breadsticks, and bruschetta. Everything was excellent. I came in expecting a long wait for the pizza to come out, which is a good thing knowing it would be made fresh. I tried a plain cheese pie. It was very cheesy, and the sauce was fresh. The crust was thick and buttery. I would recommend this Giordano’s location to anyone in the area, especially if visiting Great America.

The service was super slow. We waited about 20 mins before the waiter greeted us and took our drink orders. We got the Chicago classic deep dish. I thought it needed more pepperonis. It wasn’t my favorite.

Large Stuffed Sausage and Mushroom Pizza was excellent. Lots of cheese just oozing out. Service was great from the lady who busses tables. My server was not so great. She only came to the table three times, once to bring the food, the second to see if everything was ok and the third to give me my bill. Then when she brought my change back, she short changed me my change. When I asked for my change, she gave me a smirk of a smile and said ok I’ll get it. With the lack of service and short changing me, I gave her a lot less of a tip. I gave my tip to the lady who busses tables.

This is my favorite Chicago deep dish pizza! It’s so delicious! Super thick and full of cheese and toppings, they don’t skimp on ingredients.

Great food and service to celebrate Navy graduation. This is what our Sailor wanted, deep dish pizza. Service was great. Food was excellent. Recommended for any time.

The food was great, the service was not. My experience was not an instance of “it’s the kitchen not the server.” Our server was constantly on her phone, drinks took forever, completely forgot an entire pizza in our order. While they did comp the pizza, forgetting to put in an entire pizza that takes 40+ minutes to make and needing to have it due to the size of our party. As a server of many years, this experience was difficult to defend or understand. The food was great though.

They have a wide variety on the menu. Of course since we’re from out of town we wanted to try the deep dish. The small was more than enough for 2. My only slight complaint is that even after waiting a while for the pizza (they tell you to expect 40 minutes) it wasn’t piping hot, just a little past warm. But the flavor was very good. We would go back if we were in town again.

Love the theme, makes it so different than other places. The food was really good too, and very filling. Definitely coming back. We had the Colleen as our server, such a fun nice vibe.

Server was great! She kept up with refills and was very attentive. The food was delicious! Hot and came out really quick! Loved the atmosphere and will definitely return in the future

Wonderful experience. I got the Beef Pot Roast and man was it TASTY!! They don't have a very wide selection, probably typical for Rainforest Café (my first time here), but I still liked what I got. There was also a gentleman who went around making balloon animals for the kids, and my niece and nephew loved it! They even allowed us to bring my little sister's homemade birthday cake and cut it for us. How lovely! PS. my brother and his wife are both vegetarian, but come here every year for their birthday so they must have decent veggie-friendly options.

Absolutely loved the service here and the food, family friendly and great! The experience was an adventure! Definitely good for date night too! Came with my husband for the first time and the staff were so attentive! Had such a great time!!!! Jen was so great check on us and made sure we were good the whole time! What an amazing experience!!

The Rainforest Cafe is the perfect place to celebrate your loved ones and have a great time and great food. Our server, Philomena, was fantastic. She was very helpful with the menu and congratulated my son for graduating boot camp the moment she arrived. She was on time with food and drinks as well as very polite, upbeat and respectful. We will definitely come back and request her! Looking forward to our next visit out to try the other menu items she recommended.

I had a great time, I haven't been to a Rainforest Café since I was a child. Colleen, our waitress was very sweet and gave me a great experience. The food was also very delicious and I got to sit next the elephant too!

My waitress Makayla was the greatest today. She made the experience so welcoming for my wife me and my two little girls. she answered all the kids questions with enthusiasm and you could just see the twinkle in there eyes as they asked about all the different animals they seen. Thank you Makayla your the greatest

Place was fantastic. Greeted and seated as soon as we walked in and told them the name on our reservation. Jimmy was our server and he recommended great wine pairings with our steaks. The Wellington was a tad bit overcooked (I asked for med rare) but it was actually the BEST Wellington I’ve ever had. I’m glad the chef did what they did, they basically changed my mind about the best way to consume a welly. The server who brought out the food was very polite. The atmosphere was great, a lot of laughter and good vibes to be had by all patrons; including the staff. We ended up buying a bottle of the wine Jimmy recommended and we couldn’t finish it, so he let us take it home in a wine to go bag. 10/10 amazing find and will return.

Last minute Saturday night booking and very happy this is where we ended up. Our waiter was excellent. Knowledgeable and personable. Timed our meal well. The menu is extensive and I would have been happy with at least a half dozen choices. Running some Oktoberfest specials. Good wine list. Reasonable portions. Flavorful. For a first time visit I was impressed. Our friends were repeats and happy as well. Bonus you can hear six flags roller coaster riders screaming while in the parking lot, so we passed on the outdoor tables 😛

Relaxing atmosphere, delicious food and great service. Would definitely recommend eating at this restaurant.

Stevens Steakhouse 🥩 has a great atmosphere and fantastic food. The atmosphere is elegant, and service is warm and attentive. They have a nice bar area, patio sets and special space for private events.

My son graduated from Navy boot camp and my in-laws & I came in from out of state to attend it. We decided on Stevens' for our celebratory dinner. The food was outstanding, the service was awesome. But what really made the entire experience m9re special for us was the complimentary piece of cake. So nice of them. If you're looking for a place to take your new sailor, I and my family HIGHLY recommend Stevens'.

This was our first time here and it was a great dinner date location. Our waitress Lupe was so nice and attentive she was amazing. I got the Beef Wellington and it was phenomenal the pastry was just right and not gooey at all. My husband got the 20oz cowboy steak and it was flavorful and just right. We shared the strawberry and champagne sorbet and you could taste each of the flavors along with a refreshing mint undertone. We tried the mango madness and pomegranate martinis and both were great. This is a great place we will be back. They had live music on a Friday night which was an added bonus.

Steven's is one of my favorite restaurants when visiting Gurnee. They are great for any size party. If the weather is right, a night in the patio is perfect. Maybe you're not the outdoor type, sit at the bar, the bartender are amazing. AND, if you like seafood, the Lobster Mac and Cheese is yummy!

This is a Must go to place! Went today with my boyfriend and we were both very much pleased! Today we went for breakfast buffet which was an absolutley Amazing experience from the moment we walked in. Customer Service was Amazing and very friendly. We really liked how they cook everything fresh for you on the spot! The price is very reasonable and their food is delicious and fresh! We will definitely be going back! Chicken Waffles, Bacon Waffles and so much more! The restaurant is Beautiful as well as the food! Everyone there is very Professional and Friendly!

I really enjoyed the butternut squash soup. The desserts were very good and they prepared the lamb nicely. The lamb came with a cauliflower puree that was very bitter instead of creamy. The salmon my spouse had was very fishy so I think it was slightly old and/or overcooked because it was dry. The cocktails were delicious.

Very mediocre food with a delightful atmosphere. Our appetizer was great (fried Brussels sprouts) and our bread was fantastic with a chocolate butter, but the actual food was bland. It sounded very extravagant on the menu but it was extremely mediocre. I did not enjoy the burger, chicken or fish and would have rather eaten at home. The cake was extremely rich. I cannot stress how rich this cake was as it was at least two steps above a flourless chocolate cake. However, I still enjoyed it. I think a better alternative (if you were to venture to this place) would be to just get drinks and appetizers.

Great food and a great atmosphere. We went for the set menu special dinner club. So cool. The chef came out and explained the history and making of the dish. Very fun and highly recommend. I thought the drinks were over priced though.

A little bit of chocolate in everything. I went there for a engagement party we had a large open space with the windows facing the outside. The food was good and for the most part, tasty. They had two appetizers which was a chicken leg and quiche also very good. For entree, I had the chicken with breading and a slice of round mozzarella cheese on it. Are the only negative thing I have to say about this place was that they pounded the chicken breast too skinny, I didn't even taste the chicken. The mozzarella on top was not soft and added no flavor. However the balsamic chocolate vinaigrette they laid on top was good. The side salad was delicious with its tiny tomatoes and fancy lettuce. I enjoyed the Coco infused homemade chips. We all enjoyed the two flavor of chocolate mousse. Staff were accommodating and very nice the place is very clean and the bathroom has a very interesting waterspout and dryer all in one.

We came to celebrate our coworker's BD. The food and the presentation were so awesome! Loved the butternut soup with chocolate infused bacon; my fish was yummy with 3 different flavors. The tea named Love was outstanding! Sanctuary Turtle Mousse Mist - was spectacular! Also our waitress was very nice and helpful. Loved our experience there. Very beautiful interior. Would definitely come back.

Thank you, Chocolate Sanctuary, for a beautiful ceremony and dinner. The private rooms, separate entrance, dinner, desserts, and overly accommodating staff made our day overwhelmingly special. We look forward to sharing our anniversaries there for years to come. We chose the perfect place to have our wedding. 💍 ♥️

I had to try the Italian beef sandwich. And I almost bit my fingers off. Authentic Italian food. Can’t get no better than this, not even if you’re in Italy. I wish I would’ve known about this place earlier in my tenure in this area. But damn this food smacks. From appetizers to desserts, you’ll spend a check in here getting all the food you want to crush. Definitely a place you take your girl too, go out with the guys, take your parents, or even go solo. The food here is amazing. Thank you so much for the service Ms Tina.

Wow, we had their catering today and it was amazing! I had the turkey on panini bread with basil, and you could really taste the fresh basil—it was seasoned perfectly. All the ingredients were so fresh. The salad dressing had either strawberry or raspberry in it, and it was sooo good! Even their chips were light, not oily, and tasted fantastic. On top of that, even the signs they provided were so professional and added such a nice touch. Totally recommend!

You HAVE to come meet Tina herself and experience her wonderful homecooking. The food was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the chicken salad. Normally- I wouldn't even consider chicken salad, but I came back two days later for another one!! It's that good.

100% awesome family-owned cafe! The owner is the cutest! She came by our table to check on us. My wife & I shared a salad & sandwich. We also got drinks & dessert. The total bill was $46. We’d definitely go back!

This restaurant deserves 10 stars. Food and atmosphere are authentic and delicious!!Everything here is so fresh and delicious today I had chicken salad and homemade brownie. They have delicious desert options here. I would highly recommend!!!

If you’re looking for a quiet and cozy lunch location Tina’s is the place. I loved it, took my clients there for lunch, prior to our real estate closing. Thank you Tina for coming over to our table and speaking with us.

It’s my favorite place to have lunch in Gurnee. Highly recommend.

We liked the food, delicious meat on steaks. There were a lot of people, they didn’t have time to cook meat and waited for about 20 minutes. And in general, everything is fine.

This place has really gone downhill! Most of the workers could care less about the customers, including the majority of the servers. There are many empty food containers on the buffet line, and none of the workers seem to care. But good luck getting the attention of any workers to get some help, especially by the steaks! They are too busy talking and pretending to be busy to put more food out and to give people steaks. There are not as many different varieties of food as there once was either. The cooking is very inconsistent, so you don't know what you are going to get. The food is fair at best. To pay $47 (for 2 people) for the food served to us (or half served) is ridiculous! Many customers were complaining when I was there earlier today, saying they should have gone eat somewhere else, and they will not go back there again. I felt exactly the same way myself! I'm not sure if it's carelessness from management or lazy, unprofessional workers that management can't get under control that has caused this place to get to where it has, but it's truly pitiful! Oh, and how can I forget the nasty, filthy bathrooms. I decided I would just wait to use the bathroom when I got back home. The best word I can use to describe this place is disgraceful! But lesson learned... I won't waste my time or money again.

Carla was a great host, made the experience very good for our weekend. Environment could be rowdy but I don’t expect much, food was pretty good as well!

Went to this location for the first time last night and the energy here is not inviting. It was a Saturday night, they seemed short staff and the staff that was there were a tad bit rude and lacked passion for work. I felt uncomfortable asking for things that should have been available. I felt like I was bothering them just by mentioning that there was an empty tray of main dishes. There were a nice number of children including my son who asked for cotton candy and the worker that worked in the dessert area had them waiting over 20 min. I addressed her and she said that she was busy! There were so many empty tables in this place and it was around 6 when we arrived. There was food on the ground and it just didn’t feel like a welcoming/professional establishment. I do regret bringing my family here for my 3 yr old birthday dinner.

We were there for an hour and they left several deserts empty or torn up. Ice cream machine was turned and not working also. Not a good experience.

My wife and I ate here yesterday. We were there for about an hour and a half. The food does not get replenished in time for everyone to eat. In the hour and a half that I was there I waited specifically for the barbecued chicken the whole time I was there. Meaning I waited an hour and a half for barbecue chicken that I was never able to eat. They kept telling me 10 minutes 10 minutes and they never replenished said barbecue chicken. What I was able to eat was one little slice of steak with a roll and mashed potatoes. Aside from that I ate a hot dog all for the buffet price of $20. Not because I didn't want to eat but because the food that they promised wasn't there. The last time I went up to the buffet to ask when the barbecue chicken would be done. He said oh 7:05 for sure without fail. I waited until 7:05. Nothing came out. I almost want to ask for my money back. But the one thing I will do is and not recommend this location due to not replenishing certain foods at the buffet. And one good thing I can say about this location is the lady that was cooking. The steak yesterday was awesome. She was very nice. Cooked our steak exactly like we wanted it. But that was short-lived.

I don't know why, but last night, the food was scarce, and what was available was cold. I had some chili and it was very chili, so we're the mashed potatoes, broccoli, and a few other items. The salads were out. The children's hands were touching the food directly without tongs. There were many tables that had empty plates on them from the time we got there until we left. The server gave us the wrong drinks. It was an all-around bad experience. I also witnessed the people preparing the food mixing old with new food, which goes against health codes. It was just nasty. I'm not going back here until things are changed.

Lake County has many upscale restaurants, but for me, the dining experience at Primo is the absolute best. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with sparkling light fixtures and rich wood, mixing a vibrant downtown Chicago vibe with a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Service is warm, knowledgeable, and attentive. The food at Primo is delicious. The owners’ love of great food shows in the menu, going way beyond standard Italian fare, including outstanding steaks and seafood. One of the ways I tend to judge the skill of a restaurant’s kitchen is how they cook steak, and there is none better than Primo. I like my steak cooked rare/med rare, and while most restaurants overcook, Primo nails it perfectly every time. Primo’s menu stays true to their customers’ favorites while always introducing new specials and surprising twists that elevate the food, such as hen-of-the-wood mushrooms (to die for) or a fresh, herbaceous chimichurri. Cocktails are expertly mixed, tasty, and beautiful, with special touches like Luxardo cherries, dehydrated citrus, fresh herbs, and fresh flower garnishes. Primo has an incredible selection of wines. As a wine novice, ordering wine can sometimes be intimidating, but Primo’s extraordinary sommelier, Marko, makes the wine experience approachable and accessible to everyone from beginners to connoisseurs. Above all, what really makes Primo stand out from other restaurants is the people. From the first time my husband and I stepped into Primo, everyone treated us like family. While some restaurants make you feel like an outsider if you are not one of their regulars, Primo understands that if you treat people right, new customers soon become loyal regulars. They have assembled an amazing staff of professionals who genuinely care. Whether you have a special occasion or "just because", make a reservation to sit at one of Marko’s tables or enjoy a fantastic cocktail with Jancy at the bar, and you will become a loyal regular in no time, too!

Seated immediately with prompt service. Water was served via glass bottle. Bread was on the table quickly with parm/oil/butter tray. Our server was polite,professional, knowledgeable, and prompt throughout with refills. The wine selection is extensive. The decor is old school Italian with some modern elements in the open atmosphere dining area. The food was served quicker than expected , was the right temperature, steaks cooked as ordered, and had an exceptional presentation. There are several rooms that can be booked for private events.

Great restaurant ! They have a full service kitchen. The menu is Italian American upscale. It can be pricey depending what you order. The service was excellent and the atmosphere and decor is designed beautifully inside. This restaurant would great for parties or any celebration and date nights for couples.

I planned my daughter's birthday party/surprise proposal in the barrel room. Wow, what an amazing time. The room was set up really nice. The food was excellent. It was served buffet style. Thank you Elliott for making it happen. Thank you to Van and his server team for making all the guests, over 50 people feel well attended to. My daughter Vavi was definitely pleased and surprised. A memorable time for family and friends.

Our server Krystal was very personable and gave us great recommendations! There is an expansive menu so we will definitely be back to try more that this restaurant has to offer! The atmosphere was gorgeous, we had no idea how pretty and homey it was until we stepped in.

What can I say - Primo is all around fantastic! Food, service, and atmosphere are all top notch! We have been here several times at different hours and days of the week and regardless the quality is always there! Cortez - the manager - is elite! He leads the staff well, will help with any task, is very welcoming and engaging with the guest. He spent time chatting with us about menu recommendations, explained how awesome the Tuesday night pasta and wine flights are, and everything in between. Each staff member we encountered were great, food was exceptional and atmosphere is very nice - would highly recommend!

It's a bit on the pricey side but still enjoyed the dining experience. A friend was celebrating her birthday and they gave a free dessert which was really well presented. I travel for work and so I have tried a lot of Italian restaurants. I've tried better Italian food somewhere which were not as expensive. I really don't mind paying as long as I'm satisfied and I enjoyed the food. Overall, it's still a good restaurant but could be better I should say, especially with the tastiness of the food.

Not sure why it took us an hour between ordering our food and receiving it. The food was pretty good but we could tell some of it had been sitting in a warmer for some time. Portion sizes are great. The maple bacon grilled chicken is always good. They have all day breakfast as well. And some drinks are bottomless. The store is fun to browse through. Fresh biscuits and cornbread are sooooooo good.

We enjoyed our visits to cracker barrel. The food is quite reasonably priced and they have some interesting options. Service is first class both in a store and front of house wait staff. Food is pretty good. Americana on the whole, certainly better than some diner type places. Good portion sizes for sure. The store in the front has a lot of interesting gift choices and toys for the kids as well as touristy gizmos. They even had sugar-free chocolate, which I thought was a unusual bonus. Good place, excellent staff, would come back.

Always a pleasure. We were celebrating my sisters NAVY Graduation & she wanted one thing while on Liberty. They provided that taste she remembers from our childhood & it was delish!

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Much cheaper than eating at Great wolf. Portions are nice and the food was fresh. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Fun place to eat and shop.

After a long, exciting day at Six Flags, Cracker Barrel was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a hearty meal. The warm, welcoming atmosphere felt like home the second we walked in, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. The food was exactly what we needed—comforting, flavorful, and served hot. I went with the Chicken and Dumplings, and it was absolutely delicious! The cornbread and biscuits were just as amazing, and of course, I had to grab some dessert to finish off the night. What I love most about Cracker Barrel is how consistent they are—you can always count on great food, great service, and that cozy country feel. After an adrenaline-filled day riding coasters like Raging Bull at Six Flags, this was the perfect way to wind down. Highly recommend stopping by after a big day of fun!

One of our favorite places to eat, the seasonal menus are never disappointing and the campfire skillets are beyond great 🔥. And it's our thanksgiving spot for sure! Don't miss out the mimosas and peach 🍑 tea ☕ 🤘🤘 Tip: use the app to RSVP, check in and to get perks 😁

Love it! Food is amazing and service was great. The shop is always full of unique overpriced items. The decor is always cool to look at and talk about. I’ve been going for many years and Ofcourse each one will be slightly different but always a good time with family and friends.

An amazing assortment of vegan options, gluten-free options, and regular also, so everyone can be satisfied. Excellent, fresh, flavorful food and service with a smile!

Authentic Mexican food. Very friendly and polite people. The serving size of their guacamole & chips was very generous. I like getting their best-seller Jibarito sandwich with steak. This location is a nice spot if you want delicious and affordable Mexican food in Gurnee. Large vegetarian selection.

Best vegan Mexican food I’ve ever had. This place is a real hidden gem. Perfect for me and my husband because they have a regular menu as well. A bit pricey but sooooo worth it. Everything is made from scratch and you can taste the love they put in it. The employees are always so sweet and I’ve never had a bad experience there

Stopped here after a long day at Great America. The street corn was the best we've ever had. The entrees were great too. We sat outside and they brought the food out which was really nice because I figured we'd pick it up at the counter. She brought us all waters even though we didn't ask for it. Great food and service!

Genuinely some of the best food I have ever had. Absolutely everything is delicious, and they have a variety of vegan and GF options so everyone can find something to enjoy. Add on exceptionally friendly service, and this restaurant is a winner. If I could only recommend one item, it would actually be the chips and guacamole. It sounds basic, but it will really demonstrate the quality of Momcorn—carefully crafted, freshly made-to-order. So good!

Our family went here while on vacation and we are so glad we did!! Huge selection of vegan food and everything was beautiful and tasted amazing. Super friendly staff. Gluten free items are clearly labeled on the menu. Anytime we are back in the area we’ll be sure to eat here!

AMAZING VEGAN FOOD AND HUGE SELECTION My fellow vegans you won’t be disappointed Also the large vegan horchata is LARGE you have been warned. Very worth it!!! VERY TASTY fried plantains were BOMB My fiancé had the tacos and she loved it!

My husband and I went there after my mom recommended it. We had mozzarella sticks which were delicious, I had pan pizza which was wonderful, and he had a thin meat lovers pizza. There were many different choices of food on the menu, and the food was outstanding! Even ordered extra to take home for leftovers. Great prices too! Would definitely recommend and we will be going there again for sure!

Pizza cooked as requested we had the most delicious BBQ chicken pizza. Crisp just as we like it- well done. Adam took care of us.

We just moved here and this was our first night out to celebrate a new home. Food is incredible. Gluten free pizza is so good. Fresh and perfectly topped. Fries are great. Servers are friendly but not constantly stopping by to check on you, which we actually prefer. Love it.

Lots of delicious stuff on their menu, but if your coming here for their thin crust cheese pizza is not the best no crisp at all, if you’re looking for good Chicago Tavern style pizza then this is not your place but everything else looks good. I’m rating this place a four stars/five because they have a very good menu other than that. When I tried their pizza, it was very average prolly 5.2 out of 10 for pub tavern style

Very friendly service and good food. I highly recommend you try their two-layer pizza, it is exceptional.

Best thin crust (tavern-style) pizza in Gurnee! Came in on a Friday night and sat on the bar side. Despite how busy it was the servers were very friendly and professional. There's a decent selection of draft and bottled beer as well as a full drink menu. The pizza was hands down some of the best we've had anywhere, included plenty of well known Chicago restaurants. Husband loved the real garlic bits and sausage on his half of the pizza. The crust is perfectly thing and crispy, sauce is flavorful, and the cheese is fresh. 10/10! Prices are fair for the quality and quantity you receive. Will definitely be ordering take out! Can't recommend enough!

Not sure how long these guys have been around but definitely the best pizza in Gurnee and some of the finest pizza in Lake County you'll ever have. Always clean dining area with a nice bar, friendly service and a good all around menu (especially the pizza) with rising prices like any other restaurant but still worth it. This pizza is better than most I've had and easily in my top 5 favorites and yes I've tried many pizza joints around both franchise and local. I wish the owner(s) continued success and prosperity and I'll be back soon!

Great food! Homemade salad dressing, which is the best. Been going for many years. Very nice atmosphere. They have a bar area in another section. Love the Chicken Saluto. Good selections. They have booths or tables. Family owned. Great people! Highly recommend.

It was a very confusing experience. We went for a late lunch. The atmosphere looked nice, but they used plastic salad bowls, salad plates, and water cups and ugly plastic fake leather table clothes. Service was on the slower side. The wine was good. The salad was excellent. Very good dressing. The rolls were okay. We did get the lunch portions, and they were very accommodating, but we were very surprised by the size. The cheese ravioli was 4 raviolis for $14. The creamy vodka sauce I chose was very good, the filling was good, the pasta itself did not impress. The Chicken Diavolo tasted like nothing but red pepper flakes and was what looked like a 4oz serving for $13. It did come with a side of pasta, your choice of pasta type and sauce, but the homemade pasta was ... 8 minutes past al dente. Overall, this seems like the kind of place that could be amazing, but things are in half measures.

I can see why this restaurant is only open on weekends now. Went on a Friday night and the place was almost empty. The prices are MUCH too high. My $24 Fettuccine Alfredo was literally inedible. There was a bitter, soapy aftertaste. After waiting for almost half an hour to discuss with the "busy" manager, I finally gave up. The waiter was apologetic and comped "part" of my meal. That was the 3rd strike for this place over the past couple years. My late husband and I used to frequent this place monthly for years. Another local restaurant bites the dust.

The salad and rolls, phenomenal! We weren't offered refills on either the salad or the rolls. They used to offer that. Their menu notes you get 2 rolls with this entree. I got 1, not 2. The service, was good. The entrees left something to be desired. I ordered the chicken marsala and that marsala was the worst I've had from any Italian restaurant. The sauce was extremely bland and the few mushrooms that I had were not good. The chicken was paper thin and had no flavor at all. The egg based batter that the chicken was covered in tasted just like egg. It was weird and had no flavor whatsoever. It was disappointing as the food used to be amazing here. Not to to mention each entree was nearly $30 a piece. If I were to go back here, it would be for salad and rolls, only.

This restaurant was recommended to us by the antique mall on the other side of the freeway. WOW. loved it! Our waitress Jeannie,was fabulous!! Ask for her. The salad dressing and rolls are to die for. Pasta and sauces were fabulous. You can try samples before you choose. We even got covers to take our sodas with us.

This place has the best pizzas. We love the Alpine one and always get it when we visit. Their meat lovers is also a must. (See picture for both pizzas). They come loaded with toppings and cheese. Did i mention the alpine is delicious? Alfredo sauce with cheese, shrimp, and crab. Some spinach too i think. Just delicious. They also have a salad if you're watching your waistband. The dressing is really good and the salad is fresh. Chicken is alright. Not the best and a bit dry but I still enjoyed it. They serve an Italian beef loaded with meat and cheese that is also a must try. It can be a bit salty for some people but for me it was perfect. Their calimari and appetizers are good. Sometimes a bit bland but the place is still good. Desserts are always on point. The service is also great. I read other reviews and would assume some items are not a hit but the items i mentioned so far we have tried and liked.Our server was very attentive and kind. The only downside is the wait time. We waited around 45 minutes to an hour for our food and the place had just opened. I suppose they were getting the kitchen ready and making things fresh. We didn't mind much because we were talking amongst ourselves but if you were in a hurry then this would he a downside. Overall, a very good place to eat on the weekend. The restaurant itself is clean. The lighting is dim. It did fill up pretty quick after it opened. One thing that surprised me was their water. I asked for a glass and it tasted good. I'm usually scared to order water from restaurants because it taste like tap and unfiltered. Just not good. But their water tasted like fresh water. So they must have a good filtration system or something of the sorts.

The atmosphere resembles a nice mom and pop Italian restaurant. The staff was very nice and polite. The food was unfortunately underwhelming. My girlfriend had the spaghetti, a very simple dish that any Italian restaurant should be able to make. However it was very bland and the noodles were over cooked. I had the philly cheese steak, the meat was bland and tasteless. I didn't realize that it would have mushrooms on it and that was my fault not the restaurant's, however after I removed the mushrooms I was left with only half a sandwich. Unfortunately the best part of the meal was the salad. Personally I will not be coming back for the Italian food however I will come back to try the pizza which the restaurant is mostly known for.

I had the 18oz Bone-In Ribeye at Outback, and it was absolutely perfect! Cooked just the way I like it juicy, flavorful, and tender with that delicious chargrilled crust. The Aussie Fries were crispy and well-seasoned, and the asparagus was fresh and perfectly cooked with just the right amount of bite. Every bite of the meal was satisfying. On top of that, my server was amazing and super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. It's not every day you get great food and genuinely great service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Got a flight of margaritas nice presentation I liked 1 of the 4. Had 2 appetizers the onion. Good, but need to serve more sauce with them very greasy. Seared tuna was very good

10 STARS (if o could) My twin girls and I came and ordered lunch to go and Amani, was so kind! She was very attentive and even offered a selection of upgrades. She definitely made us feel welcomed and wanting to return. I literally said to my girls that I wished every server was like her. Definitely coming back for more! Great hire manager. She definitely deserves a raise.

Terrible experience. I don't know what was going on the night we were there. The table we were brought to had not been wiped down (it was sticky, and there was a straw wrapper still on the table). There was a used napkin in the corner. The floor under the table was filthy, as if the people seated there before us had dumped half their stuff on the ground and left it there. It had not been swept up or dealt with before we were seated. Staff dealt with this and we sat down. The manager promised they'd be more diligent for the remainder of our stay. We ordered a bloomin onion and our server brought bread and a stack of plates. One of the plates had food still on it. When we brought this to our server's attention, she told us the plates had just come out of the dishwasher. You realize that's WORSE, right? Your plates just came out of the dishwasher and STILL had food on them? At this point, we spoke to the manager again and left. We did not feel comfortable eating anything that came out of the kitchen that night.

Had dinner here tonight. . The nice host, Victoria I think her name is, sat us very nicely. Our waitress tammy was phenomenal, very kind and attentive. I’d definitely ask for Tammy’s section if you want good service from outback. The other host, she was a skinny blonde dressed extremely unprofessional. No reason I should see your bra while I’m waiting to be seated. Other than that the service was mediocre, besides tammy!!!

Ordering for curbside pickup was easy online! Order was brought out to my vehicle which is always convenient for me rather than walking inside. I was missing a side of fries for my meal and their customer service responded quickly and professionally. Really appreciated how easy and smooth the experience was

It was pretty empty when I went. The waitress was nice. The food was awful though. Soup was cold. Cheese didn't even melt. They forgot the bacon, but brought it to me when I asked. The bread was slightly hard, like it was stale. Bloomin onion was cold and the onions were too crunchy, like raw onion almost. The mozzarella boomerangs were stuck together and a big mess. I wanted some warm soup and comfort food with allergies kicking my butt, but left very disappointed.

Nichelle was an amazing server! I have a nut/seafood allergy and she was extremely accommodating. Given the amount of seafood on the menu she was very cautious and made sure everything was cooked separately for me. I got the burger with pepper jack cheese and it was pretty good. I really enjoyed my baked potato. Nichelle was just a fabulous server all around. My parents are regulars at this restaurant but it was my first time; I can see why they keep coming back!

Excellent restaurant conveniently located in Gurnee. They have a bar area, which seems to be a big draw for a relaxing cocktail. The restaurant is very nicely appointed and feels upscale, but still relaxed. We went there on a Saturday night about 8 PM and had no problems getting in The stake I had was New York strip, and it was cooked perfectly. The French onion soup is delicious. We had coconut shrimp as an appetizer, and that was also very good. Other people at our party had the codfish which they said was just so so, kind of bland. But I think that’s what cod is. Our waitress Michelle was excellent. Prompt and checked on us as needed. I would definitely go back again.

The best on all levels! We came in from out-of-state and stumbled across this restaurant. It was fantastic! We were warmly greeted. One of the owners was so friendly, personable, and continuously checked on all guests. The server was warm, friendly and personable. The food (ribs) were the best I ever had. It was just so refreshing to have good customer service and good food! You cannot go wrong dining here!

We came to great lakes for our sons Navy graduation and looked up restaurants in the area and found this gem! We had excellent service from Austin and he was extra attentive! I had the prime rib perfectly cooked my husband had chicken and ribs my daughter and her boyfriend had loved their dinners as well. We had the coconut shrimp, French onion soup, several appetizers, cocktails and the price was very reasonable for a party of 4. The only thing I'm disappointed with is that we didn't get to make it back with our son that graduated as for We elaborated how delicious this restaurant is. Sherry South Lake Tahoe , Ca.

Had a good experience here last night. Had lobster bisque and of my was it delicious and would definitely recommend. My filet was cooked very well, slightly under seasoned but allowed for the quality of the beef to shine. The decor was modern but still had little things to the age of the restaurant in a good way. Like saying I'm a staple here but I'm also not stuck in the past. Wish I would have taken pictures of but was busy enjoting the food. Would definitely eat there again and recommend.

We were a party of three for a celebratory dinner. Two ordered prime rib, 12 oz, and one ordered barbecue ribs. Appetizers were coconut shrimp and fried mushrooms. Two of us had salads and one had the lobster bisque. The appetizers were great. The breaded mushrooms tender and flavorful. The 7 large coconut shrimp were outstanding as was the sweet chili sauce for dipping. Salads were standard iceberg lettuce house salads. The lobster bisque was a large bowl, just the right viscosity, slightly sweet from the lobster, and not too pureed. The barbecue baby back ribs were served with mashed red potatoes and were standard fare. The prime ribs were both ordered medium rare. One was thicker than the other and a little too rare but they threw it on the grill which made it even better with a smoky, slightly charred crust. They were both served with horseradish sauce and baked potato. All in all, it was a great experience and the food was very good. The service was outstanding and very attentive. This was our first time here and hopefully not our last.

Had the smoked pork chops, all I can say is excellent!!! The staff was amazing, food was amazing. Top it off i had the peanut butter cake wow soooo good. Can't wait to get back!

Sweet and sour chicken is absolutely garbage. So dry and overcooked you choke on it. Quality is so bad. Fried rice is mid. Broccoli beef was mid. Egg rolls are tiny and tasteless. Spent $91 for 4 people. Pass on this place and save your money.

Still delicious! We have been eating g here for 18 years. The food has been consistently tasty every time. The portions are large and the quality seems good. The seasoning and spice seems to be perfect. The drunken noodles and fried rice are our favorite go to dishes but there are others we enjoy also.

Local Thai restaurant offing excellent oriental foods including Thai, Chinese, Vietnamise and more. Ordered Pho, Pad Thai and Fried rice and etc. They all have wobderful flavors and good portion. Only thing that bothered me was all foods were served in togo plastic containers with plastic utensils and one time use cups. Also chrage extra for sauces even for dine in customers.

It was my first time at this Thai restaurant. I went with my friends. The ambiance was good. The wait time for the food order was about 5 minutes. We ordered veggie dumplings, fried rice, green curry and noodles. They served the food in to-go boxes (which I liked). The appetizer (dumplings) had only 1 vegetable. We didn’t enjoy the dumplings. The main course tasted good. However, all the dishes were very greasy. Being vegetarian I really wish they had more options in their menu.

Portions are way undersized for the price. I ordered app, dinner entree curry with meat and ate all my rice and still very hungry. Flavor was authentic, however on the bland end. Considering portions, you must eat all the rice and that makes it extra bland. Disappointed and will be going somewhere else next time. Pictured is the small curry portion.

It's different than it was a few years ago. The food is still delicious. The atmosphere, however, no longer feels authentic with its elevator music and minimal design. Great for a sit down meal, but avoid delivery of you're hungry. This location prioritizes in-house orders over delivery service, which seems to be their bigger source of service.

Don’t bother dining at this establishment, they shouldn’t even have dine in. Your food is served in plastic to go containers even though you pay full price plus tip…we were told it would be 10-15 minutes and sat there for almost an hour waiting for our food, we finally saw the food being put into plastic containers and we stopped them and asked for a refund. As far as how good the food was, I will never know because I don’t eat hot food served in plastic…

I have been coming here for years and am never, ever disappointed. My family stopped in today after a rather challenging morning looking for comfort in some coffee and a hot breakfast. Dawn H was our server and we could not have asked for better! Immediately she brought us a fresh pot of coffee with a warm smile. She was a delight, very friendly and you can tell she knows her stuff. The food was amazing per usual! The hash browns were perfectly golden and crispy. Dawn made our experience just that much better. Will be back soon :)

This place was seriously great. Only conplaint is that it was a 15 minute wait for the table (since it was packed!!) but once we got a table and ordered, the food came very fast (like 3-5 minutes) Pancakes are very fluffy and the maple syrup is fantastic, and the fries are the best🤩🤩🤩🤩 Please please PLEASE visit this place for amazing food for good prices

Every Sunday we typically go out to breakfast and my partner mentioned The Point Pancake House and how this restaurant was a go-to spot for him and his family to go to. We decided to come for my first experience and for him to come back after a long hiatus of coming there. When I tell you this place is awesome, I truly mean it! It’s a local gem; the staff is incredibly kind and personable, the food options are endless, the drink options are vast, and everything tastes amazing! I ordered the chicken and waffles and him the steak and eggs. It was incredibly good! I also ordered a vanilla latte and him an iced mocha, and again, so incredibly good! If you’re looking for a wonderful hometown breakfast experience with tons to choose from and such a kind wait staff, I highly recommend The Point Pancake House!

Excellent food, excellent customer service. We ordered several different things from omelettes to skittles to pancakes, we were not disappointed with anything. Our waitress was very, very nice and helpful. We would recommend this place for everyone.

The food was absolutely delicious! The crab benny and stuffed French toast were amazing!

Don't waste your time here if your hungry. Attached is a photo of 5 plates of food that didnt get finished due to no one liking the food. Hostess was arguing with another waitress under their breathe about something. Some dude sighed and didnt appreciate our family of 6 walk in. Nonetheless, this place from the nonmatching walls, and food not really all that. Better off with going somewhere else

The Point is not just a diner, but a cozy dining experience with excellent food choices and quality. They offer an elevated level of fine products. They use whole grain bakery bread, fresh squeezed juice, looseleaf tea varieties served in a teapot with strainer, top shelf jams etc. All served with a smile and welcoming attitude. I visit here with my friend on a quarterly basis whenever I'm in town visiting my parents. The Point never disappoints. Enjoy!

Quite the dynamic experience...lovely atmosphere, very cordial...the pizza is real pizza...phenomenal...top quality ingredients prepared to perfection...clean restroom facilities 👌. When you are near Gurnee...we'll worth the experience.

Very delicious! We wanted triangle piece's, but they forgot. It's okay, it was very good. We had a Lg cheese and sausage hand tossed. $16.99+tax. Update: We also ordered breakfast, and they have the best pancakes. The hash browns were not good at all. I did call and spoke to the manager. They did refund me due to my dissatisfaction. Which I was very happy about, because I really appreciate their empathy. So because of their fast response, I will keep the stars where they are. See you guys soon!!

Came down from MN to go to Six Flags. Saw this pizza place was close to my hotel so I gave it a try. I just got a cheese personal pizza but it was so good. The lady at the counter was nice and even showed me the side menu when she noticed that I hadn't yet. Very polite. Very friendly. If I lived closer I would definitely become a regular.

If you are at or near six flags Gurnee IL, stop by Mama K-s you will not be disappointed. Located right across from the entrance of six flags off Route 132, the sandwiches, pizza, specials, will not disappoint you. I am a local resident and visit this place often.

A hole in the wall kind of a place that is well worth visiting! This location is right across the street from the exit of six flags. However, when we went in there a prime lunchtime on a perfect six flags day, hardly anyone was in this place. What a shame since the food was really good. I did not check but I'm sure that the Burger King right across the street was probably packed even though there's no comparison in food quality. It's definitely worth a visit to this place. Come support this family run place. You won't regret it.

We (4 adults 6 kids) came after a day at six flags looking for a good meal before heading home and this was the perfect place. They told us we could arrange the tables and sit wherever we wanted. Very family friendly small dining area. The staff put on a movie for the kids via Netflix so they were well occupied while waiting for food which was maybe 20 min. We got a large pizza and beer nuggets, both very tasty. I have never had something like beer nuggets (chowed down before getting a pic) and they were so good! One of the staff members gave our 3 year old picky eater some fries even though we didn't order them, how nice. He also gave us a pizza cutter to cut smaller slices for the kids. I would stop here again just for the food but the friendly accommodating staff took it to the next level for a great experience. Thank you.

We have ordered from here, but yet to have gone to dine in. Other than that first time having this place and it's amazing!! The pizza was delicious, I usually cycle thru major chain pizza stores like dominoes and pizza hut. My favorite go to is usually Mike's pizza, and now I would love to say that this is now my top two favorite pizza places!!

A very busy Saturday night . . . Ivy Ford provided live music. The staff was top notch from top to bottom. TV screens everywhere playing a variety of sports (this time of year). Generous food portions delivered hot to your table. Our group had a wonderful experience here .... will be back !!

We stopped in for lunch and there was no wait. Service was friendly and quick enough. Fried pickles were great, Cuban was great, pizza was pizza. Not bad but nothing to write home about. I did like the thin cracker like crust though.

Usually have good food there. The pizza was surprisingly good! The wings are also good. Have been for breakfast and that was equally good.

We've been to Fatman's several times and the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere will keep us coming back! I haven't had anything that wasn't worth reordering. Burgers, wings, pizza, nachos... it's all fantastic. Tonight I tried the chicken cutlet sandwich, and WOW. So good. Don't pass it up!

The BEST Lunch I've had out in a long time!!! The Mother Load was AMAZING!!! The Smash Burger was AMAZING! The staff was Excellent!!! The menu had alot to choose from! I would definitely go back if Im in that area again in Gurnee area!

We visited this restaurant on July 12th around 7:30 PM and had what started as a normal dining experience. After ordering our food and getting settled, I noticed something crawling across the table. To my shock, it was a roach right on our table and moving toward our food. I immediately stood up with my partner and flagged down a nearby waitress. When we pointed out the roach (which by now was crawling on our food), her response was bizarrely indifferent. She didn’t seem surprised or alarmed at all—just annoyed we brought it to her attention and not someone else’s. She said she’d get our waitress. Our actual waitress came over, saw the roach still on the table, and walked away. A few moments later, another staff member showed up and leaned over our food and tried to catch the roach with a napkin. Other guests were still eating around us, watching this unfold. She then told us she’d get the manager. A man (maybe a manager, maybe not—he never introduced himself) came to our table and asked, “What happened?” After we explained, he walked away also. The woman who had caught the roach returned and asked, “So what do you wanna do?” as if it was our responsibility to come up with a solution. We asked for a refund, and were told we could get our food refunded, but not our drinks. We had a roach crawling over our meal, and somehow, we were still expected to pay for anything. No one was genuinely apologetic. We never got to speak to a manager directly. We left deeply disgusted, not only because of the roach, but because no one seemed remotely surprised or concerned. It felt like this wasn’t even an unusual occurrence for them. This was a health and safety issue, and the lack of professionalism, basic courtesy, or accountability from the staff made it so much worse. Please reconsider ever eating here!

Excellent place to stop on our trip. Friendly staff. Somewhat unique atmosphere with the volleyball spin outside. Our food was great. I recommend the bourbon chicken sandwich. The flavor was excellent. It all felt a bit pricey for the type of restaurant, but still worth it for a special occasion. Everything costs more up here than at home so not a huge problem.

It’s always a great time coming here. I haven’t had any issues while doing the wine tasting or getting dinner. Definitely friendly staff that work here and management makes sure to check in on your table as well. Highly recommended establishment if you have been give them a try it’s worth it.

Service was lacking tonight. Took a while to get to us and the server came by at the end of our meal. Steaks were slightly over done. Grouper was fantastic. Normally Coopers is outstanding, but definitely off the mark tonight. Hopefully the trend doesn’t continue.

We made the drive down to Gurnee to go to Cooper’s Hawk a month ago and we’ve been there four weeks in a row! The food is great and, of course, the wine is on point. Some of the highlights include the smoked salmon spread, the crispy rice with tuna, the barbecue chicken salad, Dana’s Parmesan-crusted chicken, and the blackened ahi tuna. The place usually has a great vibe (we’ve only been on weeknights and it’s always jump in’). If you can sit in the bar area, that’s guaranteed to be lively. Also, they are great for gluten-free (GF or celiac). They even serve GF bread while you wait for your entrees and it’s actually good.

My husband and I came here during the holiday season… I knew it would likely be busy but we’re from out of town so we didn’t have much option. We had a reservation and came 30 minutes early to do a wine tasting before hand. The lady who did our wine tasting kept forgetting about us. It would take us 5-10 minutes to get another tasting. The hostess came up to us telling us we were 15 minutes past our reservation time and that we needed to go ahead and get seated. I tried explaining the situation and stated we only had 1-2 more tastes per person. She made that seem like it was a big inconvenience and that we really needed to just forgo them and get seated now. My husband stayed to pay for the tasting and I went to go claim our table. So we paid for a full wine tasting but didn’t get our full selection. A different hostess (Thea) sat me. She was WONDERFUL! She apologized for being rushed and said that next time we could have all the time we needed. We may just get pushed to a different table but that there was no reason we shouldn’t have been able to finish our tasting. Matthew was our server. I apologized to him off the bat explaining that my husband would be shortly behind me as he was still at the tasting bar paying. He said now worries and additionally apologized for us being rushed. He made the statement that “we’re on your time now” and made both of us feel welcomed. He was kind, attentive and absolutely turned the night around. I cannot say enough about how much of a difference Matthew made in our evening. I started off highly disappointed but left extremely satisfied and had a truly wonderful evening. Our food was delicious. Our wine was tasty. And the evening ended well.

As a Coopershawk Ambassador wine club member it is obvious i enjoy Coopershawk. The wine selection is top notch, new wine selections change monthly as does the Chef selections for lunch and dinner. The Coopershawk menu will fit any taste, including vegan and life balance selections. The Prime sandwich is probably my favorite go to, but the the Chicken Giardiniera or the Dana’s Parmesan Crusted Chicken are tasty options as well. The combination of a flatbread-salad is a nice warm weather option, combine that with perhaps a pitcher of Coopershawk sangria and you will thank me later. I would suggest you make a reservation for the usual dinner hours, because with food and drink offerings here they are often very crowded.

Great 1st visit. The salmon was delicious. Parmesan Chicken was thin, juicy and flavorful. Reece's cookie dessert and s'mores dessert was amazing!!

From a Chef's point of view... This may be long, but well worth reading. My experience at Cooper's Hawk in Gurnee, Illinois actually started on New Year's Eve. My wife and I were celebrating our 31st Wedding Anniversary which is on New Year's Day. I stopped by a local florist and asked them to put together 3-Red Roses and 1-White rose to represent (31) years of marriage. I brought the rose arrangement over to Cooper's Hawk that afternoon and asked the Assistant General Manager (Joe) if he could possibly keep them in his walk-in cooler until the next day when my wife and I had reservations for dinner. He willingly said "Yes". When my wife and I were brought to our table, the roses were already at our table. It brought a very big smile to my wife's face. And the night only got better from there. We ordered the "Thai Lettuce Wraps" for an appetizer. They were amazingly delicious, and the portion size was humongous. I then ordered a cup of Crab, Shrimp & Lobster bisque. I told our server (Ray) that I like my soup really hot. She let the cooks know and sure enough, it was piping hot just the way I liked it. And speaking of Ray... she was everything you would want your server to be. She was extraordinarily pleasant and very attentive to our needs. She was also taking care of a birthday party of (13) next to us, but that didn't stop her from doing an outstanding job taking care of us. My wife ordered the Parmesan-Crusted Mahi Mahi. It was cooked just the way she liked it. I ordered the Shrimp & Scallop Risotto. Everything was cooked to perfection. We finished off the evening with a Crème Brulé. It was silky smooth and plenty of fresh vanilla bean scrapings on the inside and the upper crust was nice and crunchy. As a retired Chef, I highly recommend this restaurant and plan on going back there in the very near future again. Happy New Year everyone! Chef Clay

Not bad food but portions are very small. They made several mostakes in our order but it was fixed. It took long time to bring the foos and they served three out of four meals and we waited long time for the fourth meal.

A good restaurant compare to other Great Wolfe Lodge locations . We dine in twice here and liked everything we ordered. Basic restaurant food and nothing is super special that can be suggested, but mostly I really enjoyed their fried calamari.

Don’t bother with this place (inside the Great Wolf Lodge). Ordered several items and it was all expensive trash. Server was attentive, but the food is horrendous and expensive. Ordered a Medium steak and received it well done. Wasn’t in the mood to bark about it so I wolfed it and left. Will never return.

The taste was good, but it took a long time to be served. If our dishes had been warm, it would have been more great.

The food here is extremely disappointing. The photos you see are clearly stock images and don’t reflect what you’ll actually get. While the staff was friendly, the prices are outrageous for what amounts to very low-quality meals—honestly, I’ve had better food in a hospital cafeteria. The fries, chicken, and salads are the exact same as what’s served in the water park, just plated differently and priced at three times the cost. Portions are small, seasoning is lacking, and the overall quality is just not there. Do yourself a favor: skip the on-site restaurants and head off property for a real meal. For what you’ll pay here, you could enjoy a far better experience elsewhere.

Like a really bad Applebee's. Except 2.5 times more expensive. Just kind of a sad dining experience all around. My daughter said they have better hamburgers at her school cafeteria. I tried it, and yes it was like a gas-station hamburger.

To be fair, the staff has little to no control of the menu. But that staff is incredibly gracious. End of the day, I just needed a chicken broth for my sick kid. Front of house and back of house took care of us immediately. Not on menu, and really made my daughter feels special back at our room. Outside of that, the restaurant is gorgeous and you get a good view of the water park.

Javi was an extraordinary server! He took amazing care of my family and has a super positive attitude. Will be coming back. The quality of the food was exceptional too even coming coming in past 9Pm! People like this make 5 star restaurants. Great job on the staffing at this location

Great food / loved the vegetarian selections. We had a large party and service was great!

V is the best server I have ever had. He is such a kind soul, very caring, and sweet young man. I hope he gets paid what he deserves. He is the epitome of customer service at olive garden. I have never felt such a comforting presence while eating here. Thank you V.

​Our dining experience was a tale of contrasts, with moments of genuine delight alongside some disappointment. The meal began on a high note; both the soup and the salad were fresh, vibrant, and thoroughly enjoyable. ​However, the main course did not continue this positive trend. The chicken, unfortunately, was quite chewy and had a texture that suggested it might have been prepared from frozen, which was a letdown after the promising start. ​What truly transformed our evening, though, was the exceptional service we received from our server, Jessie. He was an absolute ray of sunshine—incredibly kind, polite, and visibly happy in his work. His warm and attentive presence made us feel genuinely welcome, and we truly enjoyed his company. Jessie is a remarkable asset to your team, and his standard of service is something all servers should aspire to.

I recently went to Olive Garden for a date night, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive—making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, which made it a great spot for a relaxed evening. Our server went above and beyond, checking in at just the right times and making great recommendations from the menu. The endless breadsticks and fresh salad were a hit, and our entrées were cooked to perfection—full of flavor and beautifully plated. It felt like the staff genuinely cared about making the evening special, which made the experience even better. Olive Garden delivered the perfect combination of great food, great service, and a great setting for a date. Highly recommended!

Was greeted by Kathleen (Katy) with the best smile, attitude, and patience a patron could ever ask for! Best customer service hands down. I searched the business cards because I was sure she was a manager at that point! She sure as hell deserves a raise! Keep up the great work!

Went there last Wednesday evening after driving 13 hours to get into town, Hostess was super nice, we were seated quickly. Our server seemed overwhelmed, felt like she was tending to her big top more then us 4. We kept our order simple, barely checked on us, refilled my boys drink once but the food made up for her end. Shout out to the cooks! Definitely have patience if going here!

My mom and I visited this location late last night. This was our first time dining in at this location and we were a little confused while ordering. However, Mr. Rufus was so pleasant in assisting us and making sure we had everything correct. He cooked our food and brought it to us. Because of him we had a great first time experience. Mr. Rufus thank you so much for making our experience very pleasant and enjoyable. The food you fixed for us was so good…we both ate our entire patty melt and fries. We usually don’t do that. I can tell you cook from love and we really appreciate you. THANK YOU MR. RUFUS! 😁

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with my recent experience at your establishment. I ordered a Fresco Melt that was not cut in half, making it difficult to eat, and it was absolutely unappetizing. Additionally, I ordered a three-piece chicken meal, but the pieces were smaller than expected, and the fries I received were cold and unseasoned. After attempting to address my concerns by calling the store, I was met with further frustration. The lady who answered my call informed me that the manager was too busy to speak with me. Shortly after, another staff member took the call, but when I requested his name, he abruptly hung up on me. Given the poor quality of the food and the unprofessional customer service I experienced, I am requesting a full refund for my order. I also did not receive a receipt during the drive-thru transaction, which complicates matters further. I would appreciate it if someone from higher management could look into this.

BEEN COMING HERE SINCE I WAS A KID,HAPPY TO SEE SOMETHING IN THIS CRAZY TIMES HASENT CHANGED!! LOVE THE BURGERS 🍔 AND THE FRIES 🍟 ARE PHENOMENAL AGAIN. HAD TO SUPER SIZE THEM

I ordered a burger from a rude waitress. Every since they renovated, the food has gone downhill. I hear they're still using seed oils and lying about it. I thought they were supposed to use tallow? Also the merch is CRAZY. What were they thinking? There was a hair in my burger. Long and straight and blonde. How nasty is that?

Food tastes great but portions are much smaller now. I had the chilimac which was delicious but it didn't come close to fulfilling me up. Bathrooms were filthy and we went around 10:20 am - they open at 10. No idea why the bathrooms would be disgusting just shortly after opening. Place wasn't as clean as it used to be. Several dirty tables. Food came up pretty fast. Chocolate shake is still great and they have the best whipped cream. Shake size is pretty good.

I haven't eaten at a Steak n' Shake in over 10 years. Mainly because they're out of my way. I wanted to try their beef tallow fries so I exited the interstate to try it out. First thing I noticed about this particular store is it was spotless. The windows, floors, counters, etc all clean. They even had a guy on a ladder wiping down the HVAC vents. The guy behind the counter had a manager vibe and was also cooking my meal. He was super friendly and greeted me when I walked in. I ordered a double garlic cheeseburger with fries. Of course a shake. My meal was very very good. Everything was fresh. I'll be a repeat customer. 😋 🍔 🍦 🍟

We always have a great experience at Steak and Shake. This store is located on the Gurnee Miles parking lot ( not in the mall). I've been eating at Strak n' Shake since about 1965. Love their fries, chili and burgers. I'm glad to see they have been able to survive and prosper. The staff at this location are always friendly, polite and helpful. Keep up the good work!

This was my first experience at red lobster. We had to wait two minutes before being greeted and offered seating. We both enjoyed how each dish tasted, however I feel as though her jambalaya was a small portion. They did not have certain things on the menu available at the time. I feel as though the place had a smell. The menus had stains on them and other aspects of the restaurant just were dingy. The floors were sticky. Our server was busy with two tables, made a woman a drink and it took serval minutes to pay for our meal. The server was very attentive with making sure our drinks were full though and he was nice. The free bread rolls and refills were nice as well.

Our server Erika was great, cheerful, and attentive. We got there near closing time but were seated for dinner. We were excited to try the New Seafood boil bags! First off, the Cajun butter bag- chef's kiss 👩‍🍳 💋. But we had a few mistakes that made the dining experience unsatisfactory. We asked to add sausage to our Cajun boil bag and not only was the sausage missing, but so were the snow crab legs. 😞 and my son's drink, the Purple Haze, never got there either. He was the most disappointing since it was his meal and drink that was messed up. Now the Garlic butter bag, had everything, and was good but a little underwhelming. Go with the Cajun!! We understand it was the first week with this new menu item and may give it another shot.. if I can convince my son 🤔

Satisfy your seafood cravings; Red Lobster has it: lobster lover’s duo, shrimp, and stuffed mushrooms for a starter. New cocktails, such as the Guava Chili Margarita and Sunset Passion Colada, are perfect pairings for your seafood entrée. The biscuits are so moist, it's my guilty pleasure.

Brian has excellent customer service! He is very attentive and it makes the experience better when you have a server that cares about you and your experience! We did try the seafood boils and it was delicious! We did agree getting just the crab legs with the garlic is still our favorite menu item but we did enjoy finally trying the trend of the seafood boils, first seafood boil we’ve had with lobster tails in it! Very delicious. Great Saturday sister day!

Came for a family meal. Our server was Erika and she was fantastic. She was able to talk about the menu and knew what was a fan favorite. She even discussed what she personally liked. This helped as we were able to pick something and she did not lie about it. She made sure our drinks were filled and we were enjoying our meals. Overall one of the best experiences we had.

Bita was sooooo awsome she was on top of every drink refills pointed us in the direction of a dish that I loved and was Exactly how she described it. I will definitely be back.

Our waiter Brian was amazing! Very friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. Was sp glad he was our waiter. Will most definitely be coming back! Edit: Our second visit we had Liliana as our waiter and she was so awesome! She was very sweet, kind, welcoming and very helpful. I was very happy with everything and we were very happy to have her wait on our table. This restaurant has the most amazing staff I have ever seen!

Reaction to owners ...that was not the case ...the item was opened within 5 minutes of picking it up ....you guys are slacking.or trying to make orders too fast.i live 5 mins away this beef was like sloppy Joe your meat I have had your tacos for 20 years maybe it's the location that's slacking round lake and mundelein seem ok ......you want me to return a taco???also last time my wife returned something you gave her attitude.... Got a pretty gross ground beef taco today ..looks horrible and the tortilla is all wet ..the steak taco was bland and the tortilla wasn't cooked . This place isn't cheap...really wish they could be consistent in food quality . Last ground beef tacos I got were great. ...this one I can't even eat. ...

We love this place. My hubz regularly gets the fish burrito, I get something different every time and it's always delicious. I like how quickly the food comes out after you order and it's always hot. Great staff and fun atmosphere, seems like authentic flavors.

Finally got to check out Tacos El Notte Gurnee. I personally have to say I like this one more compared to the lake bluff one. So, let me get into it! The food was definitely much different than the lake bluff one. The menu was much better and had more options for sure. I got the taco bowl and I have to say it was really worth it! I felt satisfied and full after eating it! My co work got the 3 taco dinner and he pointed out that has tortillas were dry and hard. The service was good. Our waitress checked in with us often which I liked! The atmosphere really reminded me of restaurants that I visited when I was in Mexico! I really loved the decor! Overall, I would say check TENG if you want to try a very good menu!

My dad and I grabbed a bite here again yesterday. We don't go to Tacos El Norte too often. Yet every time we do, I am reminded of how delicious the food is and how friendly the staff are. The service was also super quick and convenient. This place deserves the love!

Food was horrible…service was slow. Waitress was talking the whole time and trying to get anything we had to wave her down. The cooks was cooking with no gloves and touching the food with their hands. The bathrooms are dirty as well.

We were referred by a family member a few years ago to Tacos El Norte because the food and atmosphere was so nice. Well last night, they didnt disappoint. Everything was amazing...the food, staff, environment...all 5+ stars! The staff went over and above helping to make sure our birthday celebration was all that we wanted and needed. Thank you to Brian and all of the staff! Appreciate you all!

Delicious food and attentive staff. They were very accommodating to our large group (13 people) on our last minute arrival. Had options even for our picky eaters. Would definitely recommend.

The Italian beef with mozzarella cheese and hot jardiniere is amazing. I ordered it 2 days later but in garlic bread and it was even better. Pizza was a godfather it was perfect you can actually taste all the ingredients. Staff was cool and the service was fast.

This place was average. Kinda like others have said the pizza is very bread forward. I did however get a good cheese pull. The toppings could have been more abundant for the price. I would not however go back for a second try. It's a shame because I have only had Chicago pizza 1 other time at Lou's and it was fantastic I however couldn't make it all the way down there and I took my son here because he has never had Chicago style pizza and it was a big disappointment. He did not like this pizza.

I had the Italian Beef Combo heavily dipped with mozzarella cheese. There would be more fries but I asked for less. Always good, never disappoints. They have weekly specials.

Delicious pizza and amazing sandwiches. Large selection of great food. Wonderful customer service and plenty of parking. Across from Six Flag Great America.

We stopped by Rosati’s on our way to Six Flags. It happened to be Tuesday, so there was a deal on their 18" pizza with free breadsticks. My friend checked the menu at the counter, and later when I went to place the order, I asked how long it would take. The staff member responded rudely, saying, “I told your friend already.” The food came quickly (probably because there were zero tables occupied), but unfortunately, the pizza was disappointing — the crust was very flaky, more like a cracker than proper pizza dough. When my friend asked for some seasonings, the staff told us they “must be on the table,” but there were none. He then handed us oregano in a sauce cup lid — very unprofessional presentation, especially in a dine-in setting. Overall, it was a bad experience — both in terms of food quality and customer service. I’ll be attaching a photo of the “seasoning” they gave us so you can see for yourself.

The place rocks. The cashier was kind, thoughtful, and personable. The place smells great. My pizza was ready earlier. This beats the other local pizza place my brother and I tried by miles. Would go back next time I'm at six flags

We always eat here every year after our Great America visit. The pizza is amazing, and i believe the owner was serving us. He was so attentive to our needs. We will be back again.

Been to this Chili’s two times, and I’ve been impressed both times. The food is delicious and served hot, the staff are courteous and quick with their service, and the atmosphere is as expected for a Chili’s! Love the close proximity to Six Flags! As vegetarians, we love to order the Cajun Shrimp Pasta, minus the shrimp; it is always delicious!!

Service was a bit slow and the chips n salsa took forever to be brought out but the food was good and fresh.

The location is inside a shopping mall, making it a very convenient location with plenty of parking. The food is delicious, the portions are good, and the drinks are refillable. Prices are moderately high.

The food was good and fresh. Our waitress was very nice and polite. There was an ant that crawled from under the table unto my sons food, she made sure it was replaced and they also didn't charge us for it.

You can't go wrong with chilis . It's the restaurant version of fast food, but better quality . Service is quick, and food is decent. Appetizers came out super fast & drinks as well . Waitress was super sweet and made sure we had everything we needed and more . The only downside was our location didn't do happy hour due to town restrictions. It's always nice to have a deal on appetizers or drinks . Food overall was what you expected for the price . Fajitas were way overseasoned, but they kindly took it back but was still charged for the meal, so that was kinda disappointing, but due to covid, i guess every dollar counts . Cheers!

Got the fajitas, steak and chicken. I have never been to a place where I preferred the chicken more....also didn't like the chicken a whole lot. The food looks great but flavor seemed kinda weird. Go to a non chain or a chain that specializes in Mexican or tex Mex if you want good food. The kids had a small pizza and fries looked like it was a cheapo thing but they like it enough I guess. It was pricey for the quality we could have spent less or roughly the same at surround restaurants and I whould have felt like it was worth it.

Food had good flavor, but it was not hot. It took a long time to get it as well. Our waitress said it just came up. I am not sure that was accurate because it wasn't hot. My husband wanted blue cheese for his dipping sauce and got hot sauce and ranch. I didn't use much of my dressing for my side salad, so he used that. So, needless to say, we were not impressed.

We visited Ichiban tonight with a party of 12 and were quite surprised to find ourselves the only table in the restaurant on a Saturday night. While we truly appreciate that they were able to accommodate our son’s dairy allergy — which is very important to us — the overall experience left much to be desired, especially in terms of transparency and service. From the start, we felt nickel-and-dimed throughout the evening. My wife drinks alkaline water and was told there would be a charge for it — not something we typically expect, but we agreed to it without making a fuss. Then a friend ordered a main entrée to share with her young kids and was surprised to find a “sharing fee” added to the bill. It’s also worth noting that items like fried rice, which are typically included or at least offered clearly as upgrades at many restaurants, were all upcharged without any upfront disclosure. These small charges add up quickly, and it would have been nice to know in advance. To top it off, an automatic gratuity was added to the bill — despite the fact that the service throughout the evening was subpar. It felt like we were being charged premium prices without receiving premium service. That said, we do want to give credit where it’s due: the chef was fantastic, and the food itself wasn’t bad at all. But great food can only go so far when the dining experience leaves a bitter aftertaste.

It was the first time there today. Everyone was amazing and the food was delicious. They have been open for so long, wish I had found them sooner! FYI, if you want plain rice, you ask for steamed rice. A lot of the bad reviews below are more than likely a misunderstanding.

Literally the softest steak i’ve ever had and their fried rice has such a uniquely delicious flavor! I loved everything I ate and the service was amazing! Everyone was so attentive and the chef made sure everyone had fun.

The golden shrimp was insanely horrible. The shrimp was overcooked and chewy. Absolutely 0 flavor in the sauce either. Drenched in oil. Not finishing this meal. Tiny portion (my fault for ordering to-go?) Veggies were good. Fried rice was good! Sushi was ok. I used to love this place but I don't think I'll be coming back.

There was only one guy here but he was the goat. Never met a guy who handled being the only one as well as him. He was quick and effective, but still made a good show. Top tier server.

The fried rice was not well done teriyaki chicken and filet Mignon were over cooked. The proportions very small compared to a normal sushi house. We were the only ones in there so no good vibe. It was very clean though

Very friendly employee when calling to make the reservation, we had party of 5 at 615. When we started to order, the waitress told us there is no sushi because they only have 1 chef and have 3 tables to cook for. One of our main reasons of going there was for sushi. There was no mention of this when we called. We ordered combo dinners and was never given our desserts. Soda is can only, water is water bottles only and you get charged per bottle/ can. From ordering to cooking to leaving, we felt very rushed, 1st bill was not ours that was brought to us, then when we did receive our actual bill, items that were not ordered were on the bill and the total including (service charge) was already added. The service charge was 20% of the total bill including the tax. And then still expected a tip on top of that.The chef was amazing and deserves so much better. We were very disappointed overall with our experience with the waitress, charges and lack of communication on hidden fees and what was actually available to eat and drink. The food was good, scallops, shrimp, steak, veggies, fried rice and golden sauce.

The food was good and the service was nice but after ordering two $1.50 extra charge Cesar salads we were served the house salad instead. After being told once they were Cesar salads by the hostess we asked our server if we could get the two $1.50 charges taken off after being served the house salads and he was insisting that they were Cesar salads. We gave up and paid the charge but left feeling very gaslight, since when do Cesar salads have tomato and cucumber? there’s literally a picture of the house salad on DoorDash that matches what we got :| the server was still very nice, never admitted it wasn’t a Cesar salad lol but did give us a coupon so he was still trying to be accommodating. Overall we’re not too mad they were sorry for the confusion it was just a confusing experience.

About an average TGI, service was welcoming and nice but seemed to have forgotten about us after the first check up. Food was good and flavorful, drinks could’ve been more slushy but still good nonetheless. It was a pretty busy night so I wouldn’t really blame much on the restaurant. Overall an average TGI quality wise.

Hostess wasn’t very attentive upon entering restaurant. Waited 20 minutes for a booth surrounded by filthy tables. Our waitress was very polite and gave us our food pretty quickly. Food was satisfying and surprisingly rich in flavor! However, I found it ridiculous that we were given plastic silverware. Hope to come back to a cleaner restaurant with better service.

The food was subpar. I haven't been to TGI in years and being the first time back was horrible 😞. It took over 15 mins just for a glass of water and another 10 for actually our drinks. We had to wait for over an hour while the place was half empty. At the end of the night when splitting the bill there was an issue they can't split more than three bills. The overall experience was poor and disappointing. Some of their food was okay but not worth the wait for simple things.

Despite all the negs about this place, been coming here for several years now and not once have my wife & I had bad service or had an over/under cooked meal. Location seems to be kept clean, wouldn't necessarily say the customer service is exceptional but indeed above average, always a good drink selection & specials and the food appears to be of good quality at reasonable prices. Will continue to stick with this as my go-to location being it's the closest to home and the next ones being 20+ miles south in Wheeling and Lake Zurich.

On a Sunday evening in September. Took myself to dinner. Waited to be seated, but that wasn't necessary. Seated myself at a table in the bar. Waiter, Harris was jiffy on the spot to greet, and brought me a menu and asked what I wanted to drink. Harris gave me ample time to peruse the menu and returned to take my order. I opted for the Whiskey Glazed Chicken. I could not do the broccoli due to medical reasons, so Harris offered a side of two Breadsticks. Meal arrived in a timely fashion and was better than expected. Food was hot and cooked properly. The whiskey glaze also came in a dipping cup and was excellent. As were the two glazed chicken breasts. The meal came with mashed potatoes which were delicious with the glaze as gravy. The price is reasonable for this entree. The service was friendly and offered at appropriate intervals. The atmosphere was a touch loud for the hour on a Sunday, but not obnoxious. -(-)One negative; You really cannot view the menu with prices and images online without having to "order". You don't have to place the order, but it is the only way to view the food, pictures and prices. I will add TGIF to my regular monthly visits. Thank you Harris ! You too get ⭐⭐⭐⭐.

The food was luke warm. Shrimp in the Crispy Whiskey combo was hard and overcooked. The Shrimp Chicken and Pasta was luke warm and flavorless. Should have gotten paid for eating my meal. Also ..... bathroom was FILTHY!!! No toilet paper, no flush and STANKY!!! Worse experience ever for a Wednesday night!

Always great food, kind service and very reasonably priced for the quality of food. Between the taste of the sushi to the decor it's as if I was eating sushi in Japan again. Best around!

I stop at Hayashi’s for lunch on a Saturday. Only one table was occupied, so I got a seat right away. The menu offered a wide selection of items to choose from. I ordered two of the special rolls and a green tea, and they arrived at the table promptly. The rolls were good but not outstanding. I went to the women's bathroom and found it needed some cleaning, although it was spacious. Hayashi has very good service, a special menu, and is well-decorated. They just need to make their rolls extraordinary.

Hayashi Japanese Restuarant was one of the first places we ate at when my wife and I moved here and thought it was really good. Everytime we have eaten here we have found the staff to be very friendly and the food quite yummy. We will be back for sure. This place isn't one of those chain restaurants. You can tell the staff take pride in what they do.

Neat place for great Japanese food. The price is reasonable as well. Could host single or group people!

The food was fast and fresh. We ordered 4 rolls and the cheese balls. Every thing was delicious and I will definitely be back to try more. Staff was so kind and it seemed like everyone was our server.

I had a really good experience when I came here. My favorite item was the Smoked Salmon. Very good. Very rich with smoke flavor and a creamy buttery after taste. I could eat so much of that, but I had to stop. The appetizers were tasty, and the entrée filled me up, so I needed a to go box. Luckily, I got my left overs back to the fridge before they got room temp. It was worth the money, but it was still not a bad price.

I've been eating at and ordering from this restaurant for over a decade, and I can confidently say the food is consistently excellent. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. They’re also incredibly accommodating when it comes to modifying sushi rolls for food intolerances or dietary restrictions, which I really appreciate.

I'm Hispanic but do not look it. If you are not Hispanic and don't look it, your service is disgraceful. You stand at the counter waiting to be advised whether to sit and wait for your table or to follow them. All the while they are speaking Spanish in front of you like you don't exist. When you order food you wait 45 minutes. Hopefully you need extra calcium because your scrambled eggs will have shells in them and your hashbrowns will be cooked in grease. Also hope you had your vaccines as the silverware was dirty every single set. Good luck on getting anything you ask for as they don't return. Very very very disgusting. I was so disappointed and ashamed at the service provided to me and my family. Do better Hispanics, do better.

If I could leave zero stars I would. My son ordered boneless buffalo wings they looked like over cooked pieces of dough with a tiny bit of buffalo sauce. They tasted horrible so he sent that back and got the fish dinner and that also came over cooked and nasty. I do not recommend this place ever!!! McDonald’s would have been better.not once did they lady come to our table for drink refills or anything.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I ordered food to-go from this Denny’s and what I received was not what was advertised. The hash browns were undercooked, pale, and tasted like straight-up freezer burn. I showed the manager a comparison between my food and the promotional photo (you know, the one THEY use to lure customers in), and she had the audacity to tell me “you can’t compare the photos to real life.” Excuse me??? Then what’s the point of the ad?? Let’s be clear, I wasn’t expecting a photoshoot plate. I was expecting my food to be cooked properly. There’s a difference between a dish not “looking like the ad” and it being undercooked and barely edible. That’s not a photo issue, that’s a kitchen issue. She even admitted that other customers have complained about this. Save your money and go to McDonald’s for your breakfast or something

Eduardo made our experience top notch today for my birthday. Thank you so much for making me feel so special. He has an amazing , bubbly personality and we will definitely be back for another visit

I went here not to long ago and there was this person named Keshia. She is outstanding, you can tell she loves doing what she does. Great food , amazing service, people like her make you want to come back lol!

Great service from the waiter she was amazing! Food was a 10/10. Definitely go to the Denys location, from the ambience, service and food is better !

Friday evening dinner. The place was 1/6 full. Had a nice waitress. Ordered in five minutes and food served in 13 minutes. Both orders were for the fish (polluck). The fries were cold and the broccoli almost. You deserve a 3 because the place, including the bathrooms were clean. Your R/Rs had hot water! Our waitress always maintained a warm smile. Maybe just an off order. I'll come back again.

I had a Marble Rye Rueben with seasoned fries it was very good. My wife had strawberry crepes with bacon, sausage and hash bronws . Her crepes were cold and her sausage was as well. Their pies looked amazing I wanted to buy one but I was in a hurry.

The wait was a bit long to sit down because one of the workers had to deal with a disgruntled lady. Luckily, after a few minutes she acknowledged me and said she will get to us. Other workers kept walking by and didn't really assist her until she finally asked someone to seat us and the other people behind. My friend had the pork roast dinner and I had the stuffed hashbrowns with country chicken fried steak. The meal was decent but nothing to celebrate over. Pies of course is what you go here for. My friend got a pie to go brought to our booth after we were done eating. The wait staff was nice. I'd recommend just getting the pie to go and eating elsewhere.

Bakers Square is always a nice choice for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just dessert! Of course their pies are the best but theres so much more. Their sandwiches are yummy and their pot pie is so good! I love their fire place wall. Staff is overall nice but sometimes hit or miss.

Had a great experience with manager Glenn at the Gurnee location! Had order from Grub hub earlier in the day but had some issues with the order. Came in to the resturaunt and Glen had the cooks re make an order from earlier. For my troubles gave me a desert free charge to take home. What 8s great about this experience is that I didn't need to argue or beg!!! He treated me with respect and went above and beyond without having to ask!! Thank you Glenn!! Love bakers square!!

Amazing tasty food! I really enjoy their chicken pot pie and burgers, as well as the pot roast. Even the salads are so yummy. And it would be shameful to leave without a slice of pie from their excellent selection.

Great meal and exceptional customer service. Don’t pass this location up

*Update* Baker Square reached out to me about my unsatisfied service I had a few weeks back. They helped write the situation and sent me free pie slices for the inconvenience I had. I appreciate them taking the time turn my experience into a better one. Thank you! ************* 4/9/19 Went to pick up one slice of pie to bring to someone for their birthday. The service was nice and fast. But when I pulled out the slice to put it in the fridge it looked like someone took a bite out of it. No I don't think someone ate it, but that was a waist of $5 and missing almost half of the pie I paid for.

I didn't have high expectations because it's a place in the mall but we decided to give it a try. It seemed like there was only two waitresses for the entire place so service was slow. Our waitress was nice enough but we only saw her once after the main courses came. We waited for about 40 minutes after ordering for our appetizers and salads and then another 20 at least for food. Definitely don't go here if you are in a rush. Food was okay.. onion rings were good but the pizza they are named after could use some work. They only have one wood burning oven which definitely could slow things down. Don't think I will be back here but don't let me sway you. Good thing was there was a lot of chicken on the salads.

Would not recommend. The food was ok, basic bar food/pizza cuisine. It was the service that made it a “will not return” kind of visit. See below for a more detailed experience. Sure it was a combination of a new hire and a stressed out worker. Nonetheless, was not good. Fish tacos were decent. Went with a party of 3 an hour before they closed. Walked in and was not addressed by a server. When we asked if they were still open, was responded with “Yes. Just hold on, there is only two of us right now.” She sat us down and our waiter came by. Let him know our meal and drink order. He forgot to bring the three waters we asked for and I had to go ask him for the waters as he was sitting down across the room. We got cheese curds and the calamari. Was tasty but obviously was just frozen and reheated. Two of the three meals came with an extra wait on the pizza. Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese was bland. Fish tacos were really good and came packed with good presentation. However, when the pizza arrived, the server accidentally dropped it. He said sorry and then went back to get a new one going. We asked for it to be in a to-go box because it had already been an hour. The other woman brought the pizza without a to-go box and let us know that when you put a pizza on a plate it is bound to fall. This weird excuse for why the pizza fell made the experience worse. Finally got our ticket and was given no discount for this experience. Definitely won’t be back.

1st time here. Our sever Colleen was really cool, very welcoming and polite, she answered all our questions and made suggestions. Atmosphere felt like a high end bar and grill, laid back but still a little fancy. We enjoyed the food. Our picky son loved the pizza and said he'd pick this pizza over all others. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars was for the bathroom, it was clean-ish, looked like they cleaned, but yet hadn't dusted in awhile (black tiles on the wall could use a wipe down) and the ladies room stalls were small, good luck if you need the handicap stall, cause even that seemed small. Overall I would highly recommend their food, very good, we will definitely be back! We ordered a 12" wood fire grilled 4 cheese (with pepperoni) pizza, 2 chicken finger salads (no tomatoes) and the chicken garlic bread. The pizza was awesome, the garlic bread was really good, the salads were good, but not spectacular. Really appreciated that our server brought us a bottle of water to the table for self serve refills.

Today was my first time here. My boyfriend got the meat lovers, he said it was good just like any other pizza. I got the pulled pork sandwich, can’t compare it to any since this was my first at a restaurant but it was delicious, couldn’t even eat it all. 4 stars because it took about 3-5 minutes to be seated and the waitress didn’t come get our order quick, another table got up and left because no one came to them. Service is not so good, but food it would go back. Kinda expensive though 42 dollars

Pleasantly surprised at the good pizza. So many wood & coal fired pizzas are delicate little works of art with thin spread of toppings, more a flatbread. Not the case here, they layered the toppings on heavy enough that it qualifies as pizza/meal. The crust was crisp. The taste of the wood fire singed in perfectly. Sized perfect for one person. Or to be split if you have appetizers or the salad bar. Great server.. very attentive and informative. Would definitely go back.

First time I've visited the place, always wanted to try woodfire pizzas.The pizzas ordered were very good but most impressive was the time it took to get our order on our table,our waiter Shawn ( not too sure of his name) tried his very best to welcome my party of 4, very attentive, however my wife's buffalo Wings were horrible tasting, so don't waste your money on that, but that's how you learn. All in all we enjoyed the place.

Thank you so much for the great service and awesome food. Our family drove up for our sons Navy graduation party / surprise wedding proposal, arrived with a huge party and the staff and owner went out of their way to make our moment special! The deep dish pizza alone was worth the 15hr drive! But the service and memories are priceless. Thank you so much.

We have been coming here for over a decade, and it's our family's favorite sushi restaurant. I don't see anything wrong with the staff eating infront of us, they need to eat too! If it's your restaurant or family business why not? And the waitress has been so kind for SOOOo many years! She's the sweetest lady I swear. If she is not smiling then she must be so tired..Have mercy on that one. We go there so much they literally watched my daughter grow up. Their children have also grown, not sure but I believe the sons help make the sushi and they do an excellent job. People who complain about the sushi tasting plain are most likely so accustomed to eating over processed food with a bunch of salt. Imagine going back and forth cleaning and serving is so tiring, and I bet making the sushi is not easy either. Be kind, you never know what others go through. I have dragged so many friends and family with me to this place through out the years and they all loved it. We do all you can and they work so hard everytime and the sushi is ALWAYS very good.

Went to this place after going to six flags and wanting a you know decent dinner, come to find out I would stumble upon a absolutely disgusting diner. Between the staff or kitchen staff being very cheap on their ingredients, such as the shrimp tempura having barely any shrimp to begin with, leaving things out of rolls, using cucumbers that are not yet ripened and not ripe avocados for rolls. This place quite frankly was very distasteful and overpriced. Along with all that the sushi rolls were all very similar and very bland, avoid getting cream cheese rolls because you will only taste the cream cheese, I have very few positive opinions with this establishment. The ratio of ingredients to Rice was just astronomically off. PLEASE AVOID GOING TO THIS PLACE!!! And if you do do not even bother trying to confront the staff about it, they will have no reaction and not even give you an answer that is related to what your complaint was. I confronted the waitress about my rules feeling very overcooked and overall poorly made, and the only response I got from her was "no no it's new it's new." And then she proceeded to walk off and charged me $10 for discussing sushi I would not eat. AGAIN PLEASE LET ME EMPHASIZE THIS PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT IT IS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY!!!

I really would never return to this place. One of the things I value most is the service, even if your food is terrible. But if your food is terrible, the customer service is terrible, and I also have to pay, I think I have reasons not to return. I'm sorry for being so honest, but I'm a home sushi maker, and I think I could do much better than this place. I even thought it would be a good idea to open my own sushi place. I don't know who the lady who serves is, but I think she should improve her attitude and service. It wasn't pleasant at all, which is why I only gave her 1 star.

Might have been the worst sushi I’ve had. Rolls were flavorless, all taste the same. Rice to sushi portions were way off, way too much rice. The service was awful, not friendly. The Nigiri sushi, hardly any fish, all rice!!! Talk about being disappointed. We ordered 1 round of AYCE sushi, could not eat anymore of it.

Ordered the three roll lunch special and ended up throwing it out after eating I piece of each. They all tasted like bad grease. I ordered the spicy tuna, spicy salmon and an eel. So I don’t know where the grease came from. But will never come back. I would rather eat from a gas station

The sushi was so so so sad. The nigiri was warm and barely had fish. Every piece of nigiri and sushi had an ungodly amount of rice. I’ve been here a while back before and it’s sad to see nothing has changed. There was a small hair on one of my rolls and I kept trying to pick all the excess rice off just to see they specifically charge for rice leftover. They know they use too much rice based off of their complaints but they continue to do so in order to scam everyone to get fuller when eating off the all you can eat menu. No flavor in the sushi and just tastes like rice. Poor quality of fish and nothing is fresh. DONT EAT HERE. The lady that works here is very very rude as well and gets annoyed when asked for something. The young man that works there was nice and had great service, he was the only good part of the restaurant.

We ordered the all-you-can-eat, after crunching the numbers and finding it may be more affordable. Our server was not attentive and seemed miserable- not one smile the whole time 😢. Our 12 yo son felt very sick during the meal due to a full day in the sun at Six Flags, so he spent half of the meal in the bathroom. He ordered soup and 3 rolls. He could not finish 2 of the rolls, unfortunately, due to feeling sick. They charged us $10 additional (so $36.99 for his meal), despite the fact he was sick and despite the fact his meal did not exceed the $26.99 the all you can eat cost was. It was sad. Sushi was not fresh tasting- no offense to the sushi makers themselves, but the ingredients were not fresh. Bathrooms were filthy. Would not recommend.

My wife & I wanted to eat some Mexican food & we came to this place. We were greeted right away once we entered the restaurant. Chips & salsa were fresh. We both ordered steak tacos. They we delicious. The waiter frequently came up to us to make sure we had everything we needed. Not many restaurants do this with such frequency. I cant comment on the drinks because we didnt have any. We had a great experience & will definitely be back.

Food is great, I'm just not too happy with the prices lol Service was good but the reason I put 4 stars is because they ran out of rice and replaced it with fries without asking. Also, some of the fries my friend got weren't fully cooked :/

I decided to take my coworker out for lunch today and have to say it was a good choice. So, let me get into it! The moment you enter Jalisco Restaurant you can feel how welcoming the staff is. It is very laid back and easy going. It will have to say it was very popping! There was a huge party that filled the entire store! That’s how one knows it’s good I will say! The food was excellent. I got the tortas and I did like it a lot. The chicken was very juicy and very tasty. I could tell the cooks really cared about the dish and even my friend food. The service was pretty good only thing was our waitress forgot to bring our chips out. Overall, I will say this is the spot for tacos in this area!

The food, the atmosphere, and the service were all on point. Maria was our waitress and she was great. My wife and I trusted her to pick out our meals, and she did not disappoint. The margarita was a ten, and food was just as good. I'm from outside the area , but I would definitely consider going here again if I was anywhere close.

The food is really good, it has flavor and seasoning. It is a bit expensive, so heads up. The only reason for the 4 stars is because they have only soccer on the TV. The restaurant has typical Mexican decor. The seats are used barrels, which are surprisingly comfortable.

I called an hour prior to place a reservation for 7 people. When I came my table was already ready. Our server was Carolina I believe and she was very kind and quick. She checked on us a few times and kept our drinks full. I had a great time catching up with some buddies

Visited this, what i would describe as an authentic mexican restaurant on a recent Thursday night. The place was very crowded which is always a good sign. Enjoyed the Enchillades and the taco salad entrees which were flavorful and well portioned. Ordered the small Corona rita (Mango) drink which was delicious and festive for the meal. Located 3 minutes, away from Six Flags Amusement Park, off of Route 132, stop in and enjoy this place.

I’ve been a customer for a few years now. Both dine in and take out. The last two times I’ve been disappointed with the quality of the food, but this time I was disappointed with the cleanliness. I found a long piece of hair in one of the sushi’s I ordered. I feel disgusted that I ate a few pieces before finding the hair. And it was funny because this time the sushi was actually better than the last two times I ordered. And with the increases in prices I really never see myself coming back. I loved this place for such a long time and even recommended others to give it a try. Now AHA won’t even cross my mind when people ask me for a good sushi place. Overall a very disheartening experience and I don’t recommend eating here!

Kinda torn writing this review. The food is good and hits the spot when you're hungry. The ramen and rolls are decent--not mind-blowing. We've had better in bigger cities, but hey, this is Gurnee, and food options are limited. So go here sushi and ramen around here, What really stood out was the service. There was only one server working the whole place, and it was packed. She handled it like a pro and was super sweet, especially with the kids. Her service push this rating from 3.5 stars to 4 stars. We'll definitely swing by again next time we're in Gurnee.

Definitely recommend this spot! My sister and I dined in here. We had the spicy scallop roll, the Black Widow roll, salmon nigiri, and shrimp fried rice. The nigiri is fresh and well portioned. The black widow roll is great, I would say it's a spicy scallop roll with an inclusion of eel and avocado on top. I wasn't a big fan of the shrimp fried rice, but my sister loved it. Our server, Dominick, was attentive and witty. He had great recommendations for us about rolls to order. The ambience is very warm and cozy. This restaurant was a pleasant surprise in the fast food cesspool that is Gurnee, IL. Make sure to stop by, reader.

First of all, when people come in, the staff should ask where they want to sit—like at the bar or at a table. But when we arrived, the staff didn’t ask us anything. After we were seated, other people came in and the staff treated them differently—more politely—and asked where they wanted to sit. It felt like we were being treated rudely. We ordered ramen, one sushi roll, and takoyaki. However, the server didn’t seem to hear us order the takoyaki and later asked if we still wanted it. When it finally arrived, all of the pieces looked burnt. The ramen was okay, but not great—I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. We only ordered one sushi roll because I was really craving sushi, and we chose the Crazy Roll, which is supposed to have spicy mayo on top. But when we got it, there was barely any sauce—just a small dot of spicy mayo. It’s definitely not worth $18. On top of that, some of the pieces were falling apart. Honestly, I could make better sushi myself. I’ve tried a lot of sushi places, and this was by far the worst.

Wow… every plate was amazing and looking great. Way beyond my expectation for our dinner tonight. If you never tried fried shumai, this is different. Must try this before your main. My favorite is the seared squid sushi and squid sashimi!!

Worst experience that I’ve had with sushi in my life. Everything tasted old. I love sushi, and Im always out and about dining at sushi places. The rolls seemed old, the crab ragoon was tasting weird, the seaweed salad oh jesus! I left hoping to not have something wrong with my stomach. sad….

Aha Sushi is fantastic! Their sushi is fresh and delicious, with a great variety of deep-fried rolls. The ramen is good, but I wish the egg was runny vs hard boiled in traditional ramen style. Overall, great food and friendly service. We will definitely be back!

this was our first time here we thought we were going to dine in but The dining room is closed. It was never reopened after Covid. We had the orange chicken, which was really tough. Don’t know if it was old but the shrimp fried rice and chicken sweet-and-sour was very good. I would recommend this restaurant.

BEWARE!! I ordered the shrimp Subgum chow mein from Chans. I have been eating subgum chow mein for too many years (40yrs) to admit. It was absolutely AWFUL! The paper bag that was delivered to my front porch was dripping all over the porch and down the hallway of my home. I didn't even realize it was dripping at first, because I didn't order soup or anything with a soup like consistently, so I certainly wasn't expecting a leak from the bag. After I got the food into the kitchen and on the counter, I started to unpack it. I thought maybe I had received the wrong order and I had somebody else's order with soup in it. But it wasn't the soup, it was the shrimp subgum chow mein. Yes, my shrimp and vegetables we're just simply swimming in water. I immediately called the restaurant and spoke with some lady who explained to me that it's watery because of the bean sprouts. What do the bean sprouts have to do with making shrimp subgum chow mein? Subgum chow mein is supposed to have a nice, rich, thick opalescent sauce that clings to the vegetables and shrimp. It should also be flavorful. If I wanted steamed shrimp and vegetables in water, that's what I would have ordered. So I asked the lady if I could add cornstarch to thicken up it up, because I know that is how they thicken up the subgum sauce. She says "yes, on the stove, add a little water and slowly add in cornstarch to thicken it up and then add it to the shrimp subgum". I realize that I didn't spend $55 to go to the stove and start mixing together a thickener, in order to have the shrimp subgum chow mein that I initially ordered. I tried to eat it, however it was simply just steamed shrimp and vegetables with no flavor profile at all. I really wanted the flavor of that flavorful thick subgum sauce that every other Chinese restaurant, that offers subgum chow mein, now how to successfully create in their own kitchen. I then tried to call the restaurant the next day, but I didn't realize it was Monday and they were closed, so I waited until Tuesday and reach back out to the restaurant. I spoke with a very rude man. I asked him why it was so waterery and he said "after 20 minutes it gets watery because of the bean sprouts ". Again with the bean sprouts!? I asked why is it that every other Chinese restaurant that I've ordered subgum from, ever after a night in the refrigerator and being reheated the next day, still has a velvety, thick and flavorful sauce clinging to the vegetables and shrimp. He told me that if I don't like their subgum, I should order something different. But I have a better idea! I'll never order from you again, and I will make sure that everybody that I know, is aware of how much your food lacks and how unprofessional, inconsiderate and rude your restaurant is. I reached out to GrubHub too to let them know how dissatisfied I was. I don't often complain but when I spend $55 on takeout Chinese, I want and expect a nice meal, even a decent meal would do. Definitely would have been better off even with Panda Express at this point. So if you want authentic, flavorful, rich Chinese-American food, I would steer very clear of Chan's Chinese restaurant!!

I have been going to Chan’s for a few years now. They started off with good food but lately they have been slacking. I ordered shrimp fried rice and it didn’t taste like it had any seasoning. I ordered extra egg for the fried rice but they put the whole extra egg on the very top of the rice. Would be better if it was cooked and mixed together evenly. Also, the Mongolian chicken is very good but the last 4 times I’ve had it, it has been Mongolian ONION instead of chicken. I even requested extra chicken and it seems they gave me extra onion. Also every time I go there, the workers are always sitting down eating. LOL. I’m going to leave them alone for now and find somewhere else to go for Chinese food.

If I could give less than one star I would. This is the nastiest chinese food I've tasted in a long time. Dont waste your money. Ordered two lunch items. Chicken egg foo young and Mongolian beef. The egg foo Yung gravy was gross and looked like clumpy jelly. The chicken inside was hard as was the hard sprouts inside. It was not softened and tasted like raw cabbage. The fried rice that came with it tasted days old clumpy and greasy. No scallions in it just nasty. The Mongolian beef was tender but was so salty you couldn't stand to eat it. The accompanying fried rice was the same. Tasted old, clumpy, hard and greasy. It came with egg rolls that were very small greasy and soggy. Wasted money. It was so gross it went to the garbage.

Reducing my star ratings. Food as good as always. But the website ordering is extremely frustrating. Always makes my experience a frustration.

Food absolutely awful. Nothing LoMein about anything I ate. Was angel hair pasta. NO LzoMzeIzn noodles anywhere

This is by far the best restaurant around the area Good food and great staff. Will come visit every time I am around the area

Just picked up the food and this small little section of meat is all they gave me. I thought it was weighted very lightly for spending 15 dollars on the bowl, and it looks empty on one side barely any servings of beans and meat. Pregnant and disappointed at the serving size for the price.

The food at the chipotle was very delicious. We decided to get three tacos, cheese quesadillas, and a chicken burrito bowl. The location is very close to Gurnee Mills, Mall, and right off of the highway. The only reason I gave it low stars is because the service was horrendous. The girls behind the counter were extremely rude. But the food was delicious.

Ordered the steak burrito bowl with all the toppings. But when it arrived it only had the rice beans and steak. It also looked like it was half eaten. The portion was small!!

This bowl was horrible ,some meat wasn’t cooked and some over cooked. Rubbery and chewy , less portion than usual. I wouldn’t feed this to my dog and delivery service wasn’t helpful at all

I went to pick up my order from this location, I had one chunk of meet the size of a tennis ball in my bowl that's it. The place was so messy I was questioning how clean do they keep the kitchen if they allow the dining area to be this messy. No one asked if I needed help. Very unprofessional, expected more from this Location.

We had an extremely disappointing experience. We arrived at the restaurant at 9:50 PM, fully aware they closed at 10 PM. While several people were still seated and eating, we were told we couldn’t dine in and were rushed out before we even started our meal. One staff member, who refused to give her name, was incredibly rude. I work in retail myself, and I honestly can’t understand how someone with that attitude holds a customer-facing job. The service was by far the worst we’ve experienced in the U.S. We explained that we had just received our food and were willing to leave with the other guests who were still eating—but they insisted we leave immediately. When we asked to speak with a manager, a woman named Citlali came over and repeated the same message with no empathy or explanation. We ended up eating our food outside, in the dark, surrounded by mosquitoes—while watching others remain comfortably inside eating until at least 10:10 PM. We rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience absolutely warranted one. They don’t even deserve a single star

Low standing chipotle I've been to. Firstly, one of the line attendants picked meat with his gloves, ate the meat while stepping aside and didnt even change his gloves. Last I check that is not standard food handlers. Food line and drink station was very dirty seems like it hasn't been wiped down for a good while or refreshed. I am not sure what type of training is in place but seems like everyone needs a refresher of food handlers license along with a manager refresher of the Managers Food Handlers. As everything should be cleaned and wiped down at least every 30 minutes.

The hibachi guy didn't want to get off of his phone He told the woman no he wasn't going to when she told him to cook me some food. The other female came over and told him to do it and he got up and did it. That was the best food that I had in the entire place. I usually take down half a pot of egg drop soup and this was the nastiest I've ever tasted I could not take two bites. It was not even used with broth it was just water with egg and some plain oil that tasted like cleaner. The mushrooms were so slimy it's slipped right out of my finger. They were so squishy and slimy I couldn't get it to poke into the fork. I don't know how many days that fried rice was sitting in the container but it was extra hard no moisture at all. Not very many vegetables to choose from other than the basic salad. As a vegetarian I feel like $17 per meal as even not a vegetarian person would feel like $17 per meal is way overpriced. This shouldn't be priced over $9 a meal. It is not a gourmet It is a low class low budget not $17 a meal worth. Let me include the information that $17 was not even with a drink. Both my daughter and I each only had water. With a drink is probably $20. This is definitely not a $20 meal place at all. Not even close. I will go somewhere else next time. This place is very low class. It took extra effort and a second person just to get the kid off of the phone to work the hibachi grill. And the food is very, very old. I don't even know how the safety department allows this to be served.

Great place to eat especially if you are looking for different options. The food was good. The only downside was that our table was not clean when we were seated.

The place itself is decent, when it comes to the food. It was stale and hard as if I had been sitting for hours. When asked for fresh food they said we can get what we wanted at the grill bar. They seemed not to care for the service. The cold bar was ok, its sushi and even that doesn't stay fresh for long. I don't recond this place unless it's your last resort and don't have anywhere else to eat.

You get what you pay for . Budget friendly all you can eat asian buffet . They have different varieties sushi, Mongolian grill, lomein, chowmin, glass noodles, 8-10 chicken, 2 beef , 2 pork ,2 prawn, 2 fish dishes. Fresh salad bar, fruits ,a few desserts, also few American food . Pretty much everything. But this place could do a renovation. I liked it .

Big buffet restaurant Lunch was OK Service was OK Out side was hot day inside was cool Food was OK but not recommend it Just one time is OK but not usually

I would give a four, but the the restaurant was a little worn down. It has potential and the pictures are real on the panorama, but you have to see up close. The place needs an update, especially the bathroom. I am sure it was beautiful years ago. Plates could be replaced as well. However, i enjoyed the lunch. Everything was hot. I was a little concerned based on many reviews about old food, but went anyway. It had a few diffrent items that i usually dont see at other buffets like: ceviche, dragon fruit, actual cheesecake, and hot spicy chicken, to name a few. I would come again.

I hate writing this, but it’s time. We’ve had a few issues with orders not being done, which is tolerable. But, honestly the place is failing apart. I don’t trust the quality of the food. In our last order we found these shells in our chicken Mongolian. Thinking my little could of choked, a chipped toothed or just the grossness of finding this in our food makes me cringe. We are no longer supporting this business. Sorry.

I ordered a grilled salad. Upon opening the bag, I found a roach inside the salad plate, which appeared to have been prepared two or three days prior. I called the place and asked to speak with the manager in charge of the location to find a solution, but they just hung up the phone. Be careful when ordering food from this establishment. Who knows what condition their cooler is in inside the kitchen

Great pizza, their pizza thin crust pizza is my favorite. Always nice and hot. Not overly greasy and good tasting ingredients.

I was in a mood for deep dish pizza so I wanted to try this place. We ordered a medium sized Pan pizza and an order of a 10 piece wing with 2 drinks. When the total came up it was $62 for 1 medium sized pizza and wings (I wasn’t paying for it, the person I was with said they wanted to treat me to dinner) it took me by surprise. The pizza was just "Ok" the toppings on it was chicken, Giardinera and the vegan pepperoni. I shouldn’t have gotten the pepperoni because the texture and taste didn’t not go well with the pizza. I could barely taste any of the tomato sauce which is important to the entirety of the pizza. I have a pretty high standard when it comes to how my food tastes but the person I was with whom is pretty even keel when it comes to food surprisingly said "The pizza is a no for me" The Garlic Parmesan wings were pretty decent. It was the best part of the meal. Were they worth the $17? No. All in all I ended up giving my friend some money back on the food because I felt bad about the experience. The people we interacted with that worked there were nice, we just were disappointed with the quality of the pizza for that price. Maybe we’re spoiled with the variety of good pizza places around our town where it’s good quality pizzas for decent pricing. For example we could’ve gotten 2 bigger sized, better tasting pizzas from a Derangos Ferraros, Infusinos WITH wings for around the same price.

Excellent Pizza , Thin crust was Fire 🔥 , great Customer service, great Atmosphere, clean environment bathroom friendly,,, truly recommended (Specially if At Six Flags) Pizza Wings Pizza Puff

We were looking for a little pizza place for dinner later one night and it was perfect!! They were open until 10, and service was kind, and quick! Food was delicious, get the breadstix if your on the fence. Overall, would happily return!

I picked up. A pizza on my way home from work .I used to get from the round lake location but they are using an answering system to take your order ..don't work to well for spacial order .. When I got there they told me my pizza was burnt .they offered me a new one and asked for my address .I told it was fine . I'm not one to take advantage I know it costs money to run a business ..the pizza was ok for me .wife said it's burnt .. I'm like it's good right ..she said yeah .. That's all that matters ..thank you ..good pizza ..

Used to live in Illinois and were here all the time. Came back for a visit and HAD to have the lunch special. The food is delicious and we REALLY miss it when we're at home in Vegas.

The original slide and oh so good. They have several new items but the original is best, you must have it with mustard. The people were fun, they had me laughing and you could tell they enjoy their work. This is a destination icon that I hope lives on for another 100 years.

This White Castle was just remodeled and it looks great! Service was professional, and fast. Food was delicious and made fresh. Highly recommend the onion rings. So delicious! Come check their new look out.

Absolutely great! Coming from Florida and having Krystals - White Castles nailed it!! No need to pile on the condiments. The burger was delicious all by itself. I also tried the chicken rings instead of fries. Hands down ' I'd take White Castles any day - but I'm sure you already know that! This location was clean and we were served with a smile. Thanks for a great experience!

I haven't had White Castle in years, but my dad and I stopped by this one on a Thursday afternoon while we were waiting on some car maintenance. Everybody was super friendly and the food was pretty good! The original sliders were about as mid as I remember them always being, but the chicken/honey mustard sliders were SO GOOD. My dad's vegetarian and loved the Impossible sliders. All in all, great location and very welcoming staff.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. Something about this place just screams hospitality. The food was fresh and delicious, and very cheap too.

Wonderful late-night meal. A bit overpriced on some items. The new chicken slider combo was close to $10 with/ tax. The 2 small thin chicken patties were crispy as advertised but were served on 2 dry plain buns. There were no condiments or pickles on the sliders. Everyone else enjoyed the regular burgers with and without cheese. The service was fast and exceptional considering the time of night.

Stopped here Saturday morning around 10am on 8/2. Friendliest folks ever at a White Castle. New chicken sandwich is fire too. I was in the drive thru but changed my mind and said I wanna eat inside. They took my payment and said to meet em inside. So nice!

Did we just become best friends? YUP! 😅 I found this gem hidden in a small strip mall in waukegan Illinois. I make it my goal to try small Mexican restaurants across the US and this is BY FAR the best Al Pastor Taco Dinner I've had IN THE UNITED STATES. The only downside to this place is I don't think I can continue my quest to try as many as I can because now, I only want Tacos el Durango! Great job, guys!

Great place for a casual mexican lunch. The food was very good. I dont usually like green salsa, but the stuff was great.

In town for Daughters Navy Boot Camp Graduation. She wanted Mexican and found them on Google. The gentleman waiter was Extremely friendly The food was AMAZING!!!! Reasonable prices, 3 people lunch under $40 Highly recommend this establishment!!!!

It's actually been a few months since the last time I ate here and really been missin' it. IMHO Tacos el Durango is in my top 3 among Mexican restaurants in Lake county and in this county alone there's gotta be easily 200+ places to get Mexican eats. Cozy venue is always kept ultra clean and friendly staff/owners are serving up delicious Mexican fare at reasonable prices. A bit of a hidden gem even though it's off of a main drag just west of US 41 in a low lying strip mall in far southeast Gurnee near the Park City border.

This place is a hidden gem in Gurnee! It has absolutely delicious traditional Mexican food! This Is a small family owned restaurant with no more than 10 tables. While eating there with my husband recently I commented to him that the sopes were so good that it tasted like his mom could have made them. Overhearing this, our server replied, “That’s because MY mom made them!” You have to give this place a try. While somewhat pricey for Mexican food it is definitely worth it.

Yum! Just tried this little gem today. I work right down the street and never knew this place was here! Someone recommended it to me that I work with so went there for lunch today. The service is great. They are very prompt. Great food, great service, and good food. I use to go to Tacos El Norte but this place in my opinion is better! Tacos el Durango has better tasting and quality food. It is hot and you feel satisfied when your done. I only have a certain amount of time to take my break so this is very convenient. They get you in and out quickly. Will definitely be returning.

Amazing authentic mexican restaurant. Great customer service. No fountain drinks. Limited parking because of neighboring businesses.

annalise & nia were so sweet! i had such a great experience with the staff here and for that reason alone i highly recommend it. everyone is so nice always. the food is great, staff is great, atmosphere is great, i could go on! but huge props to the team especially annalise and nia! 🥰 thanks again girls! 🍝 i have a nut allergy (tree nuts) and this is a safe place for me to eat. they recently added pecans to the menu but because they’re in the salads (same with wendy’s) i’ve never had an issue and have eaten here a ton. i recommend the new garlic bacon mac & cheese and the chicken parmesan those are my favorites. if you’re craving noodles, stop by. be sure to tip the incredible staff! <3

Best cookie EVER! Even got 3 more to take home. Haven't had anything I've disliked here but I keep going back to the buttered noodles with extra parm & extra seasoning- so simple but so delicious! Love the chicken pot stickers & cheesy garlic toast too. It was so good i didn't even get a picture before we started eating, lol!.

We ordered our meals at 1:47p and weren't given them until 2:10p. Had they told us before we ordered that they were busy, understaffed, ect and that it was going to be 20 plus minutes we, at the minimum, could have decided to order or leave. 20 plus minutes for fast food seems a touch unreasonable. Otherwise, the Buffalo Chicken Cheese Mac bowl was okay.

The management here knows what they're doing and have great customer service insights. I had an issue with one of my orders and when I came back they remade it no problem.

We visited this location today (5/13) around 7:15pm even with the locations POS systems down we were easily able to place our order online. The manager on the floor came out to check on us and was super friendly. The whole team working was very organized and fast! They were super busy and managed to get orders out one after the next. We were impressed. Great job team!

Mikey was great helping to resolve an issue with the Uber Eats driver. Thank you!

Family ordered from here on Monday night. All of us got sick right away. Only thing in common was the food from this place. Anyone have issues with the food here?

Worst place to eat Indian food. We ordered biryani and dal rice. Rice and biryani both looked the same. Tasted so bland it had no spice or flavor to it. Dal didn’t look like dal. Tasted weird. Upon talking to owner she said that’s how dal tadka is and you said you want medium spicy biryani did not take account of service instead educated us. Anyways overall a bad experience never going to any biryani point again

One-word Review: Disappointing Dish, High Price, Zero Flavor! Taste: 1/5 Quantity: 3/5 Quality: 1/5 Value for Money: 1/5 Service: 2/5 Packaging: 4/5 Hygiene: 3/5 Overall: 1.5/5 ➡️ First Impression: As someone who enjoys exploring new food spots, I was looking forward to trying Biryani Pointe in Gurnee—especially because it specializes in biryani. Unfortunately, this experience turned out to be a complete letdown. ➡️ What I Ordered: I ordered the Mutton Biryani, priced at $23.99 + tax. At this price point, expectations were high for rich flavors and tender meat. But sadly, it was nothing close to what a biryani should be. ➡️ Taste & Quality: The dish was incredibly bland. It tasted more like plain white rice with half-cooked mutton pieces casually thrown in. It lacked any biryani aroma, spice, or depth of flavor. I even left a note asking to make it spicy, but the chef completely ignored it. The raitha was equally disappointing—thin, flavorless, and not fresh. Honestly, it didn’t even look like biryani, let alone taste like one. ➡️ Portion vs Price: For $23.99, this biryani was shockingly overpriced. The portion might be fair, but the lack of quality, taste, and authenticity makes it feel like a complete waste of money. You expect a lot more from a place with “Biryani” in its name. ➡️ Packaging & Presentation: The only saving grace was the packaging—clean, secure, and spill-free. However, packaging alone can't carry the experience. ➡️ Final Thoughts: It pains me to leave a negative review, but this was genuinely one of the worst biryani experiences I’ve had. Recommendations for improvement: Stick to authentic biryani recipes and ensure the meat is fully cooked and marinated. Pay attention to customer instructions—especially spice levels. Reconsider pricing. $23.99 is too high for a dish that lacks flavor and effort. Unless significant changes are made, I wouldn’t recommend the Mutton Biryani from Biryani Pointe in Gurnee. Hopefully, the management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving their standards.

I ordered Chicken Tandoori Curry via Uber Eats, and it was a complete letdown. The chicken was clearly frozen for ages resulting in loss of tenderness, with a foul smell and disgusting taste. I had to toss the whole thing in the trash. I expected way better quality and honesty from the restaurant and service. Hugely disappointing experience.

Biryani was very bad, they mix white rice in biryani rice on topping and chicken smell, I ask them send me salad they send onion with lemon on the rice

Finally decided to stop at Biryani Pointe after driving passed it a million times. It was AMAZING! Much cheaper than I expected and all the food was extremely satisfying, not too mention the excellent service. Will be coming here frequently. The butter chicken with garlic naan and rice 🤤

Delicious and authentic Indian cuisine! The biriani is flavorful and generous portions. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend for Indian food lovers👍

I honestly don’t know what all the bad reviews are about, Mohammed is the greatest server in Gurnee, Illinois. So whoever doesn’t think so is a known communist in the Illinois communist party. We had the opportunity to eat the butter, chicken, samosas, and chicken 65 biryani . We picked up some mango lassi and that was pretty good too, believe it or not there’s not a lot of sugar in that. Overall, it was great. We had a good time. PS it’s a little warm in here.

If I could give it ZERO stars I would! I used to visit this location often when I lived in Waukegan. Today I decide to stop in, food was not fresh, cold, meatloaf tasted like a frozen dinner, no working ice machine, and had the nerve to charge $35 for a meal I wouldn’t feed to my dog! #trash

This is the “cornbread” we got. The rice was hard & not cooked all the way. The mac & cheese was so watered down & the chicken was completely dry too. This place used to be SO GOOD & it’s so awful now. Customer service was great but the food was not good. We couldn’t even eat any of it.

First off, Kudos to having such kind and helpful employees. I ordered at the driver thru today (9/26/22 at 12:30ish), and really had a pleasant interaction. I drove about 30 minutes to visit this location. I haven’t had Boston Market in YEARS, and unfortunately, due to the quality of my meal, it’ll probably be years before I consider giving their food another try. I was so disappointed, because the food used to be SO GOOD. The cornbread muffin was cold and pasty tasting. The rice was bland, the sweet potato casserole was comparable to sweet potatoes from a jar of baby food. They were out of creamed spinach. 😢 The chicken was the only thing palatable on my plate. So that was a waste of money and time driving.

Was curious about the new rotisserie chicken nuggets & it was okay , sauce helped a little. The sides Mac, broccoli & garlic potatoes was okay too , it's just not the same like back then. Employees were helpful keep up the good work! Gotta try other things give it another shot but TBH feels like hit or miss & $21 was a bit much for the portion.

I ordered 2 large mashed potatoes and 2 large gravy and I paid 25 dollars with tip online. Just to receive 4 small containers. I reiterated to the girl that I ordered large and she said ok and gave me these small containers that could feed 1 person. Very upset with my service those containers look more like 4 bucks each. Threw out my money just to go elsewhere.

Undoubtedly the worst dining experience for anyone who steps in. Parking lot is empty save for a group of panhandlers who seemed to made this their hub point. Never seems to have business so you would expect a short and convenient serving time but on the contrary. You will wait upwards of ten minutes before you have what is expected to be a homestyle meal. My son and I went and we ordered two chicken carvers sandwiches. Our server talked to us while the cook made our food and we appreciated the small talk but that was the peak of our experience. We were given our food on a tray and we're apologized to for our waiting due to the sandwiches being warmed up. Is the food not supposed to be warm as it's made? I asked for any type of hot sauce on the side and was provided with two unique sauces. Both were delicious but we unfortunately couldn't have the same sentiments about our entrees. Our sandwiches were steaming and about as soggy as a shoe left in the rain. Upon separating the bread slices, we were met with wilted lettuce, a measly slice ripped in half. Tomatoes were sliced as thick as steak and my son's tomatoes looked liked sheets of paper. Mayonnaise curdled probably to them being "warmed up", code for microwaved, from my experience working in restaurants in my youth. Mayo spread was unbelievably poor and stingy for lack of a better term. The chicken was adequate if you hadn't eaten in two weeks that is. Our broccoli was bland but I could have overlooked that if we hadn't been served the obvious past its holding time vegetable. My son was given wilted dark as night broccoli and i was given bright green broccoli that was cold on the inside. I gave him mine and he enjoyed that at least. Tables were dirty and we had to make two tours of the dining area to find a table that was the least dirty. Dining room looks like a storage with the amount of boxes blocking multiple tables. One table was being held up by 8th pans. Gentleman's restroom was in poor condition and extremely filthy. Never in my life have I skipped on using soap because the soap appears foul. I have nothing but negative observations to speak of about this establishment. Terrible service, filthy, unreasonably priced, and disassociated crew and management. I ask the community to petition the removal of this restaurant and replace it with something beneficial to the consumers.

If I could give half a star, I would. This place is just horrible. This was my first time here and they had no cornbread and had no carbonation in the fountain drinks. There was a child of one of the employees sleeping in a booth and hair products out on another as if they were doing hair in the restaurant. The young staff member was very nice and trying to help when I told him about the fountain drinks. He stated they have been out for awhile and even asked the manager if he could give us some of the sprite they been using from a 2 liter. I sadly will never return to this restaurant. I had high hopes and it was quickly turned into a nightmare.

I honestly feel this is my to go spot everytime i go for groceries and need a delicious sub after. Mr. Manish was absolutely patient in helping me create my sandwich. He also recommended me different sandwiches that i should try which i completely enjoyed. He was actually really kind and respectful to me and everyone who was in line which i care about dearly. i recommend this subway to everyone who wants actual good service and respect.

Got easily my worst sandwich ive ever eaten, 4 toppings were missings. Sandwich was not toasted. Missing sauces and basic ingredients.

I Ordered the promotional $5 nachos with steak. When I picked up my order there was no smile or happiness to the cashier helping me or owner. There was barely any meat or toppings and what appeared to be 10 total chips if that you could easily slide the spread out chips and toppings and see it was enough to fill half of the container it came in. There is also a promotion right now for 6.99 any footlong. Their store is not participating. If you are a Subway shouldn't your customers be able to use the Subway coupons. Why are they not? I couldn't even order the footlong I wanted to with the discount. It's always empty and poorly run in that Subway. Maybe it's time they make it something else with sunny ppl willing to be positive and not skimping on their customers. Very sad day in Subway history for me today. Ughhhh

Awesome crew! The two gentlemen are always happy. They don’t argue and make sure your are happy. This is my go to subway since moving to lake county. I never had issues with coupons, discounts, or promotions. Not stingy with the ingredients is a plus! Subway done right!

Won’t ever be back. This subway is charging double what other subways are. The won’t accept any current discounts or coupons that subway is offering. Not to mention all their meats are hidden behind a metal lid where you can’t see.

Always good if you know what you ordering. I think just my thoughts that yall should adopt that Starbucks style and get people names and orders that way it'll be the same every time you order. Just my thoughts

Someone literally peed in one of the tables on the wall or something. I have no idea and I told the guy and he looked couldn’t see the pee and then did nothing about it. I mean you could obviously smell it, it was awful.
