Hey Spanky... So…read more.. how'd you get that name? Nevermind. Don't want to know. All I know is that Catfish Fillet Sandwich was super tasty. A wow moment. I didn't expect that. My wife also had some and said the same thing. Your gyro was very good too, but that Catfish took all the thunder! Fries were very well done as well. Dude I'll be back. Might order some other catfish variation. And some other items on that menu. Spanking Good... Oh wait... OH

The food is always fresh and delicious, with so many great breakfast and brunch options to choose from. The cafe itself is adorable and has such a welcoming atmosphere, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal.

Came to SB Cafe in Elgin on a Wednesday afternoon. The restaurant was clean and the service was…read morefriendly. I was seated quickly and I ordered a garden skillet with a choice of pancakes. The skillet-less skillet with over medium eggs came out rather fast. I liked the food and everything was enjoyed. Nothing stood out or was over the top. I had plain pancakes so I could evaluate them without being distracted by extra toppings. The pancakes were alright and toppings would probably punch them up. I think this can be a nice stop for a solid breakfast.

Located just a mile from Dave's Hot…read moreChicken, the two share a similar foundation, but Byrd's distinguishes itself through creativity and imagination. Where others lean on the purity of the ingredients, Byrd's leans into bold concepts and inventive presentations of hot chicken. The result is a menu that's both fun and flavorful, offering great hot chicken in a variety of clever forms. It's energetic, confident cooking -- and absolutely worth coming back for.

The heat is layered and intentional, and even the small detail of the hot pepper garden behind the restaurant adds to the sense that the kitchen genuinely cares about its craft. The only hesitation is the pricing, which trends noticeably high. Still, when the food carries this much flavor and character, it's easier to understand where the value comes from.

This spot is not much for ambience inside or outside but on the day of my visit they had brisk takeout and the dining room was packed...real quick. I'm sure a lot of folks go here for the Chinese menu items but I was there for the Lao goodies! They did not disappoint! We had the fried meat balls; a mixed app plate with chicken wings, Lao sausage, and beef jerky; lap beef; and a healthy serving of sticky rice (ok maybe we had 2 to sop up the lap beef). Flavors were on point. Medium spice had us excited and rolling at the same time as it got spicier throughout the meal for the lap...but it was so good! I can't wait to go back and try more! Service was friendly and attentive. Parking was easy since they have their own lot.

We were lost in South Elgin when we decided to stop and eat. We turned into a strip mall parking…read morelot and saw Pita BBQ, a small and unassuming restaurant. We were surprised when we walked in and saw the colorful menus with lots of options. The staff greeted us immediately while we decided what to order. We split the chicken kabob plate, an order of falafel (which we watched being made!), and french fries. The chicken was outstanding, tender and very tasty. It came with basmati rice, which was equally delicious. The freshly made falafel was perhaps the best we've had, and even the french fries had a delicate flavor. The prices were very reasonable and the staff could not have been nicer. We will go out of our way to return, even though we live 20 miles away.

Heard good things but was pretty disappointed…read more First and biggest problem was an item missing from my order (baba ghanouj). Even if I bothered to drive all the way back to argue about it they would've been closed so no recourse. Food tasted like it would've been good but was mostly very dry. I did come an hour before closing but I don't think that means I should've been served mummified food. No sauces were included with my combination plate, don't know if that's nonsense protocol or another oversight as with my missing baba ghanouj. Part of the combination plate includes Spicy Chili Chicken which looks good on their website, red and well seasoned. But what I got was pale, bland and completely devoid of any spiciness. It's almost like they make their food in an unauthentic way to cater to white folks cuz they don't think we can handle the flavor ‍ I've used shawarma marinade packets from Jewel that tasted better than whatever they use. Also their pita bread is pretty low quality, like the difference between Turano and Butternut bread. Funny since that's their namesake. Won't be returning or recommending.

When we pulled in the parking lot, it looked like every single spot was taken. We were thinking…read morethat it was gonna be a long wait. Thankfully, we got in and they only made us wait. About three minutes. Our waitlist was a sweet old lady, but when I asked her for prices on soup and bread basket, she was sassy in her reply. Wish the prices on the menu for these items. Just in case you're wondering it was $5.75 for the bowl of soup and the bread basket is included. The soup I ordered was cream of chicken and rice. It was delicious. It was really hot so I had to wait for a while before I could eat it which is fine rather have it too hot and too cold. The bread basket was good, but the bread was kind of chewy. It was hard to eat, but that's OK because we need to dip it in the soup. It's softened up nicely. There are crackers and butter with the bread basket so I was able to add some crackers to my soup as well. I'm so glad we came here for lunch. It was delicious and filling and will be back again. They also have a beautiful dessert selection and the restaurant was decorated for Valentine's Day, which was yesterday. If you're ever in the area looking for a restaurant don't even hesitate to come here. It's perfect. My husband ordered the one egg breakfast with bacon and toast. He said it was great and he would order it again.

Mistakes happen, but when it becomes a pattern, it's really frustrating--especially when you're paying for a meal you were looking forward to. I hope management takes a closer look at order accuracy so future customers don't have the same experience. I'd love to be able to recommend this place, but consistency and attention to customers' orders are important.

Today, we visited with 5 people total (one was a little kid). 3 of 5 arrived first, checked in with the hostess, and were told 5-10 minutes wait. The remaining two arrived shortly after check-in. So all party was there. After waiting for 20 minutes, we noticed a larger group the came after us got seated before. So we approached to ask about our turn, the unfriendly manager said that because there were specific table size, and a booth would not fit us. So we have to wait. A few minutes later, we saw a group of 5 was called, who also came after us. I went up to the hostess and asked again. At that point, the hostess seemed to not able to find our name on the list, and the same manager approached and used not so patience tone with me. I calmly explained that at this point, we have waited for almost 30 minutes (when we were told 5-10 minutes initially), and when many people (4 or more people) came after us got seated. At this point, the manager impatiently said we there was a booth, and we said we would take it as one of the five was a little kid. She grudgingly showed us to the booth, and along the way mumbling that the restaurant was full and all. Now, the food wasn't that great either. When our food arrived, they were lukewarm at best. It was as if they were sitting for a while. Again we understand when the restaurant gets busy, there is waiting. We also understand there could be a mix up during busy time. The manager never acknowledge anything, instead we were made to feel as if we were unreasonable. They just lost 5 customers today.
