Finally stopped in at the Grill House in Northbrook for a bite to eat. I'm glad we did. My wife ordered the Falafel and I ordered a hamburger. We found the restaurant we comfortable and clean. The staff was very helpful. The food arrived without a long wait. It was warm a very tasty. My burger was only $11.50, but was one of the better burgers I've had in awhile. My wife enjoyed the falafel. I can easily give a thumbs up and recommend the Grill House.

Stopped in at Olive Garden last night. I hadn't been there in a couple years. I ordered meat lasagna and my wife ordered the shrimp scampi with a side of broccoli. The salad was good but a bit disappointing. We were half-way through the salad when my wife realized the preparer forgot the black olives and croutons (her favorites). None-the-less the salad was fresh and crispy. Our meals came shortly after. Both main courses were very good. Our server was very attentive. The only drawback was our booth was a bit too loud due to the architecture of the ceiling. All-in-all we enjoyed the meal and will be back. I can recommend the Vernon Hills Olive Garden.

Oddly for a place with Pizzeria in it's name, we had never tried D'Agostino's pizza. So we ordered a half- vegetarian, half-sausage pizza. We also ordered a salad. The salad came out quickly and we enjoyed every bite. Shortly after finishing the salad our pizza arrived piping hot. The crust was thin and crispy. The sauce was above average. The toppings were delicious. We'll definitely be going back for another D'Agostino's pizza.

Guzman y Gomez is a fast food Mexican restaurant. It's a good option if you are in hurry or want to take something home. I ordered a spicy chicken burrito with sour cream added for take out. My order was prepared quickly and wrapped securely in aluminum foil. It was still quite warm when I got home. The burrito was very good for fast food. It hit the spot. The best thing about this particular Guzman y Gomez is the staff. They go out of their way to be friendly. I definitely would recommend Guzman y Gomez to anyone searching for a quick bite to eat.

Had an extremely hectic day so stopped in Kostas for a quick lunch. Order the gyros sandwich for $9.99. My order was prepared quickly and was delicious. The pita tasted freshly made and their gyros are tender with just enough crisp on some edges. the flavor is just the way I like it. As always the staff was friendly and inviting. Kostas is a definite recommendation for anyone looking for a tasty, affordable option.

Been ordering pizza from Nino's for 20 years. So you can probably guess, I strongly recommend Nino's. We ordered a 16", thin crust, half with sausage, and half with spinach, garlic, mushrooms, and onions. We also ordered a salad. Nino's is primarily a takeout/delivery place, although you can eat at a very small counter or outside. We picked our order up about 20 minutes after ordering. The salad was crispy and fresh. Everything on the pizza was good... the sauce, ample cheese (but not too much), the toppings, and the crispy crust. We're eating the leftovers tonight and we'll be back soon.

Hadn't been to Benihana for awhile. So, my wife and I decided to go to their relatively new hour hour. I'm glad we did. We over-ordered because everything looked and tasted so good. We got the onion soup, edamame, pork gyoza dumplings, shrimp crunchy rolls, California rolls, and chicken fried rice. Everything was made well and tasted delicious. And since it was happy hour, the bill was only $45. The staff was very welcoming and attentive. I'd definitely recommend the Benihana's in Wheeling, IL.

Portillo's is a great place to get a quick bite to eat when one is out and about. I ordered a hamburger and diet coke. No fries this time. The order came even quicker than usual and was warm and tasty. The lettuce on the burger was fresh and the they gave me a healthy serving of the condiments. The burger itself had the char they are known for. I always recommend Portillo's to friends who visiting the area.

Hadn't been to Cherry Pit in quite some time. Since I was alone, I sat at the counter instead of the dining area. Ordered Tico's Tacos (breakfast tacos with chorizo, egg, and potatoes) and coffee. Once the order was place, the food came quickly, hot, and delicious. The coffee blend was a perfect compliment to the breakfast tacos. In addition to very good food, the people at Cherry pit are always friendly which makes it easy to recommend. Note: Parking is around back.

Love this place!. Longtime breakfast and lunch place in Wheeling. Stopped in for a quick breakfast. Ordered two eggs scrambled, hash browns a bit crispy, pancakes, and coffee. Arrived warm and delicious so fast I barely had time to open my phone and read a couple emails. The eggs were cooked just dry enough (the way I like them), the hash browns were cooked to perfection. The pancakes were just the right size an yummy. The syrup and coffee were outstanding. They had plenty of servers and staff to keep things rolling smoothly despite the pretty big crowd. Everyone on staff was helpful and treated us like neighbors. For $14 The Original Granny's is no-brainer recommendation.
