“When you first walk in there is a strong smell of sewer. You have to walk outside. We walk right out. The place was clean but sewer smell drove us off.
“Six of us had dinner on Thurs. evening and were so pleasantly surprised. We met the chef/owner and found him to be a delightful young man only wanting to please us. We all can't wait to return The Rosenstein'...
“This restaurant would get a five star rating from me if it wasn't for the atmosphere. The food is wonderful and also beautifully presented. The only thing holding this place back is the decor, bright lights and la...

“Great food but totally disorganized staff. Imstead of taking orders and getting the burgers going, they only handle 3-5 orders and you wait for those burgers to get done before another order is taken. Wait is always...
“We had our Wedding Luncheon there & are about to have our 1st Anniversary party @ Countryside Saloon. I can't wait to introduce my side of the family to the Saloon. It has a great staff, fantastic food, with a beaut...

“What a great place to eat!! My wife (Pure Chinese) found this place and we both loved it. Very helpful waitstaff ( I think she was the owner) Outstanding freshness even down to the ginger which was AMAZINGLY Fresh. ...
“I went to Cuzzins with my husband this past weekend for an enjoyable night out. The food was pretty good and the service was excellent. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the owner. Apparently, publicly h...
“I've dined at almost every Italian restaurant in the Des Plaines - O'Hare airport area and I have got to say that Romano's Restaurant has the very best thin crust pizza I've ever had. Their pasta dishes, espically ...
“Horrendous experience. Ordered a Margherita pizza, ministrone, gnocchi, and calamari. Pizza covered in a brownish sour tasting sauce (found out it was a balsamic vinaigrette)that was poured over the top so much so i...
“After Lee's Mandarin closed in Mt. Prospect, we thought our lives were over as far as Chinese dinner went. We found China Wok II by accident; and are we glad we did. The best egg foo young around ever! All they n...
“Don't be fooled by the low key atmosphere (which I find adds to the charm) or the location in a not-particularly-attractive strip mall. You will be pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and the enthusiastic and...
“This is way more than just a diner. The food is excellent (especially if you stick with the specials) and very affordable for the quality. Also, you can bring your own wine and they will provide glasses. I've becom...
“Awsome food for a small independent eatery. The pizza is the best in the area. This is coming from a born & bred Chicagoan that is a self admitted pizza snob. Prices are right as well.
“To sum it all in two word: mind blowing. China Wok is easily the best restaurant in Illinois, maybe in the United States. Mr. Chow Mein's orange chicken is probably the best thing your taste buds will ever taste, ...
“The best fast food around. I recommend the 3 layer fries, cheeseburger, and bbq chicken sandwich. I would go more often if not for the rude, arrogant, cross-eyed looking owner with the dark hair. Half the time he lo...
“The wait and bar staff was friendly, the food was good (great homemade pizza) and the atmosphere reminded me of a wisconsin bar/restaurant. It is a very nice sports bar and I would highly recommend and I would go ba...
