    Pure Hummus small
    Reginice C.

    Everything I've eaten here has been delicious! I love that they have a dedicated vegan menu! The owners, husband and wife duo, and also the other staff are all super friendly and customer service-oriented. My favorite dish to order is the Loaded Vegan Nachos with added Beyond Meat. I also enjoy the Vegan Quesadilla, Sumac Clucker Vegan Sandwich, and Hummus. The house iced tea is something special, the wife makes it with her special spice blend. I will continue to dine at Boon Cafe especially when I'm coming in from a flight at O'hare. (^_^)

    This feels like such a hidden gem in the area; it's always empty whenever I go. Everyone who works there has always been so sweet and genuinely happy to see customers, whether it be for take out or dining in. The food is always flavorful and well seasoned; never a sad taste bud when I'm there! I got the beef chapli burger last time on recommendation of our waitress and it was bursting with flavor. We always get one of their loaded fries when we go - I feel like this is the only place that does loaded fries right. I have yet to try something disappointing here. It's a smaller place with around 10 tables and slightly diner-esque. Generally quiet. Cozy.

    Came here yesterday with my wife and I am pleasantly surprised at what a gem this place is! The food was absolutely delicious. I'm a sucker for good fries because fries usually get cold and lose the crunch but these fries were phenomenal. I got a classic cheeseburger with coated fries. My wife got a swiss burger with curly fries. We also got a slice of cheesecake and tiramisu. We loved everything. The restaurant was clean and organized. The atmosphere was cool. It's a shame that its location gets overshadowed by the ice cream shop located a couple doors down. They also have vegan options and some Halal food too. Service was also amazing. We will be coming back to try more food.

    The food here is wonderful! I'm vegan, my family is not, which is one of the many reasons to love the menu at Boon Cafe. They have wonderful meat dishes like steak quesadillas and po boy sandwiches, but they also have a full vegan menu that can be healthy like curried cauliflower or junk food like vegan chicken po boys. I got vegan curry cauliflower and vegan samosas and they were packed with flavor. Highly recommend this little spot.

    Boon Cafe in Norridge, IL is a hidden vegan (and omnivore) gem! The owner is so kind and creates delicious fresh food that made our taste buds dance. Loaded nachos, loaded fries, falafel sandwich, and a vegan burger made us so happy. We will definitely be back. If you're dining in, you must arrive before 6:30pm, otherwise take out is the option.

    I found out about Boon Café through Uber Eats! I was excited to try them after seeing they offer vegan options. There were some amazing sounding vegan options, but I saw that they have a Shrimp Cajun Po Boy which sounded good so I ended up ordering that instead! My order was ready in about 15-20 minutes. The lady in the shop was nice and greeted me. The inside of the shop was clean. Their bathroom wasn't the nicest, but it was clean at least. I saw that they had some seating outside and decided to eat out there. My sandwich was a decent size and had a good amount of shrimp! I thought the sandwich was good, but imo it was a little over salted... Parking wasn't too much of a hassle but beware that their lot can get full in the summer due to the ice cream shop in the same strip. I would consider coming back if I'm ever in the area again!

    Greetings my Foodzies, recently we tried out a restaurant called Pops Place at 8418 w Grand Ave…read more River Grove. It a small spot tucked away I a little strip mall at Grand Ave and Thatcher. There's a table and window seats for fine in, the young man who took our order was very friendly and polite. We ordered a steak sandwich with fries and a combo (beef and sausage) the steak sandwich was decent size it just needed a more seasoning, the fries were crinkle cut frozen fries (we prefer fresh cut) and needed to be a crispier. The combo was tasty and good size. I give this restaurant 4 stars nice little spot. Try it out and let me know what you think. Ciao, Ciao for now.

    Down-to-earth, humble spot for some Chicago fast food!…read more They have gyros, hot dogs, burgers, shish-kabob, Italian beef, fries, onion rings, and more. When I was here I got the #8 Greek chicken which was nicely seasoned broiled chicken, garlic bread, and rice. It came piping hot and fresh and served with a drink. I loved it! Their fries and onion rings were delicious, too. Pop's totally reminds me of a true Chicagoan spot for some grub - you'll see locals coming in and out while talking with the staff (because they're regulars) about the Bears, work, or construction nearby on I-90 (very Chicagoan). I loved the lowkey and charming feel here. Their pricing is affordable with most combos (including fries and a drink) being under $11. It's better to eat individually or with 1 person if you want to dine-in since they don't have tables inside, just a built-in tabletop against the walls so you're facing the window/wall when you eat. I recommend taking your food to-go. The 2 men at the counter helping me were personable and approachable. Located in a tiny stip mall off the busy street, this place is a small spot with convenient parking right out in front. Pop's is one humble fast-food place that serves up fresh menu items and Chicago classics. I'd recommend it!
