We drove here on the recommendation of a co-worker. We had maybe tried the beer after she bought us…read moresome, and with a day off, getting out of the city seemed a good idea. We came in around 2pm on a Friday. It was quiet but we were fine with that. We sat at the bar with college basketball playing. The bartender and waitress were helpful and friendly in helping us pick out what we wanted to sample. We got both limited edition and regular to sample, as well as the chicken quesadilla. They were also ok with giving us samples of beers to see if we would want them for tasting. The beers were fine, and we bought a 4 pack to go. The quesadilla was ok. The Bison Chili was awesome! They had outdoor seating, covered with heaters but it seemed too cold for that. The view from there was nice I admit. I like how the 'hangar' theme meant pictures of airplanes and pilots, including Amelia Earhart! I like winter beers, but I'd like to go back in the spring or summer to see what's available. The restroom was clean and approachable.

Social Inn has been on my to-try list for some time.  My husband and I finally had a chance to…read morecheck it out on a Monday evening recently.  I made a reservation via Tock that I already had an account for years, so that was simple. On a weekday evening, as expected, the restaurant was not busy.  We were promptly seated at a 4-top table (2 × 2-top) against the right wall, with some other 2-tops on both sides.  Like many reviewers had mentioned, the venue was beautiful, modern and chic. There were 7 tables occupied, including us.  The music that they had was not too loud, just that customers' conversations were amplified by the box shape open dining area.  If we focused enough, we could hear every conversation if we wanted to.  This was obvious when a table of about 6 women got seated at a table near the front door, some of them laughed and talked very loudly.  My husband and I just found it funny and didn't let that bother us.  However, when the restaurant is filled on busier days, it might be a different story. Our server, Patrick, was very nice and attentive.  Since they did not list drinks on their menu except those with alcohol, I asked him about non-alcoholic drinks.  After a brief "discussion", he asked me to leave it to him to make me a drink with mango.  He came up with a beautiful drink that was good and refreshing, with some mango flavor.  It was Virgin Paloma on our receipt for $8, which was reasonable.  He was very polite and checked in on us several times at appropriate times during our dinner.  The pace of the dinner was good, we spent a total of an hour and 15 minutes in the restaurant. Patrick might be the only waiter serving all the tables that evening, though. I also ordered Grilled Octopus ($22) which was very good, tender and flavorful, but was a little too salty to my taste.  The small pita bread wedges were warm and fluffy with some crispy edges, the beet hummus was creamy, and everything was delicious and tasted fresh.  I generously shared 2 little bites of octopus with my husband and I finished the entire plate, it was so good!  My husband really liked his Spiked White Fish ($29) and I shared a bite of that too.  He also had a House Salad for $6, that was a very good value.  He enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc Crossing ($12) too.  We also shared an order of Crème Brulee ($8), that was creamy and cooked perfectly.  We ordered a takeout order of Rigatoni with Sausage ($23), that was a good portion, and was still delicious and al dente the next day after being microwaved. I am so happy that we found Social Inn - a hidden gem in Plaza del Prado, it's not far from home, with comfortable and beautiful ambiance, excellent service (from Patrick), an attractive menu with enticing food (fresh ingredients and appealing plating), and reasonable prices, we will definitely be back!

It's been a while since I went to Social Inn. They used to be open for lunch as well as dinner, and…read morethat was easier for me to get to. We were in the area late in the day and remembered Social Inn was open, so we went. We ordered a variety of items. I had the Social Burger (at least 1/2 pound), we also ordered their chicken dinner salad and the beet hummus. Everything was delicious. I did order my burger medium and it was delivered well done, but it was still good. They also have one of the best gluten-free buns I've ever had. I do wish they were open at lunch time still, but I understand they need to be open for their busiest hours. Social Inn is a great option when you are in the Glenview area.

Excellent meal after a long day flying into Chicago for my Uncles 100 th birthday celebration!…read moreOur hotel was in Glenview and lucky for us this restaurant is right across the parking lot! My sister and I went over for a late supper and sat on the patio as the weather was pretty nice for April. They have a great menu so after ordering a cocktail we settled on salads and started with some chips and guacamole. Well let me tell you the appetizer could've been dinner! It was a huge portion and the guac was so fresh and good! We put a small dent in it before our salads arrived. Can you say to go boxes! Not disappointed with the salads either! I had a nice Cesar salad with grilled chicken and my sister had a salad with sweet potato and brussel sprouts, both very good! Our waitress kept checking on us and we actually closed them down since we came late and closing was at ten but they didn't rush us! If you're ever in Glenview Illinois check them out!

We needed a quick dinner in the area and nothing fancy so this fit the bill perfectly. Our waiter…read moreMichael was efficient and kind and even put in a French Dip sandwich order to go for us with perfect timing. It is a casual bar atmosphere with lots of room for groups. We had a cozy booth away from winter drafts. Our grandson highly recommends the chicken tenders and pizza. My salad was just as described and I enjoyed that the grilled chicken on top was warm and the vinaigrette had a nice bit of garlic.

I kicked myself since last night but wanted to take out my mom for Mother's Day lunch…read more We got there and it was crowded, but went to the front desk to get a table (parking lot was full, but had allot of space, btw) - surprisingly, they said give us 5-10 minutes, and yes it won't take long. WOW! To make a long story short, we got seated, our drinks, and orders taken, and after 15 minutes, our food was hot and piping and fresh. And it was tasty - my steak quesadillas and my mom got a house Cobb salad. Both were tasty and looked great. Our server Miriam was awesome with our orders, she came by to check on us and not too many times, and was there to help us with leftovers and leaving stuff. She struck a nice balance of not being there vs being here too often, so that's Ace's in my book. Since it was Mother's Day, it's crowded and a bit loud but not too loud where it was too obnoxious, except for a few people who had no manners at all on dress, but that's another topic I won't go to, for now. Tables, plates and silverware were clean, and one can still get around, even with one table behind us with a handicapped person, it didn't crowd up much at all - it was all very reasonably spacious. Definitely will come back here, though I do miss that older lady who was our server the last time before today, who was very nice - had a bit of an attitude to her personality but not too much to make it tasteless, some sass makes for an interesting day. (Hope you are doing well, ma'am!)

I continue to go to Elly's once every month or two. My mother is in an assisted living facility…read morenear this location. She loves going there, so we do every so often. They have an extensive menu. I can't remember a time where I was not satisfied with a meal there. Service is also always excellent. The food is consistently good. I do recommend Elly's if you haven't been to one of their locations before. Note that they are only open for breakfast and lunch.

We were in the area and someone recommended this restaurant for breakfast. I love the high ceilings…read moreand plenty of windows with natural lighting. The restaurant is decorated very nicely, they put a lot of thought in colors and decor. Our waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable, I appreciated her input. I ordered coffee and my cup was never left empty. They have a really sweet man who comes around and tops off your coffee cups. They have specials and a kids menu too. The bathroom latches are way too high for a child to lock the door, but they do have a fold down changing table in the woman's restroom. (Not in the stall) They do have high chairs for toddlers. I actually need a chair to rest my leg on because I cannot bend my right knee. Our waitress was very nice about it... however a man came up to me and told me it was a fire hazard to have a chair in the aisle... so what about the kids high chairs? The chair was completely pushed under the table... so I had no choice but to put my foot up on the other side of the booth (which I was avoiding). Also the booth cushion is not attached so when you lean on it it comes up... making it very hard for a handicapped person like me to get in and out of a booth. other than that our experience was enjoyable. My husband ordered the corned beef hash breakfast. It came with Corned beef Hash, 2 eggs (he ordered his scrambled) diced potatoes or hashed browns (he picked diced potatoes) and toast or pancakes. That is a lot of food for him, so I am going to eat his pancakes. I also ordered two eggs over easy off the sides menu. The portion sizes are large. My husband's scrambled eggs looked more like 3 eggs and not two. The food was nice and hot and tasty. Highly recommended dining here if you're in the area. Will be back.

Really good breakfast spot! I had the two cheese omelet and it was very good. Sourdough toast…read morewasn't really sourdough but it wasn't bad. Our server (as well as everyone else on staff) was incredibly attentive with coffee refills. I don't think I ever got below half empty before a refill was offered. Overall, if I'm in the area again, I would come back here.

I have to come to Fry the Coop more often. I really enjoy their chicken sandwiches. They are made…read moreto order, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. You can order different levels of spiciness. If you don't like spicy chicken, order the 1st level. It's not spicy at all. I order level 2. I've tried level 3 and it was too spicy for me. I find level 2 to be perfect, has the kick I enjoy, but not overly so and blow out my taste buds. We went when they had their $5 hot chicken sandwiches in honor of National Hot Chicken day. Not surprisingly, it was very busy. They still put out good food and EXCELLENT service. Everyone was so nice and they all handled the flow of people very well. I was so impressed. One of the managers, came around to the tables to tidy up and check in on all the guests. I have to remember to come more often!

Listen... my husband really tested our marriage with this one He decided to go to Fry the Coop on…read morewhatever national chicken $5 special day they had last week... which CLEARLY the entire population also knew about. Man sat in the drive-thru for 2.5 HOURS. I wish I was exaggerating. At some point he had already gotten his shake and drink... and then just... continued waiting another 45 minutes for the food like it was a full-time job. Now here's the crazy part, after ALL that... the chicken was still a 10/5 for me Like??? How is it THAT good even after that experience?? I can only imagine how amazing this place is on a regular, non-chaotic, why-did-you-do-this-to-yourself type of day. Because if this was a 5/5 THROUGH the drive-thru madness... I'm already sold. Moral of the story: don't be like my husband. Go on a normal day. But DEFINITELY go. Delicious!!

This was our first time here for a family wedding shower, and it will absolutely be our last. The…read morestaff is consistently rude, from the servers to the hostess. A few "highlights" of our visit: Dishonesty: A server lied and said there was no kids' menu (which is clearly listed on their website) just to avoid a meal substitution. When I asked about ordering chicken tenders, the server told me they didn't have a kid's menu and were only making an "exception" for my daughter. I later found the full kids menu on their website. Instead of simply explaining an age policy, he chose to be dishonest and was visibly annoyed that I even asked. Being Ignored: It took 20 minutes and multiple people flagging down a server just to get one bottle of Coke. I asked the female waitress 3 times for the Coke and she repeatedly looked at me and ignored me. It took 20 minutes and 3 family members calling out to the server to get her attention. Disrespect: The hostess literally put her hand in my face when I politely asked for a to-go bag. I politely asked the hostess for a to-go bag, she actually put her hand in my face and told me to "hold on." When she finally returned, she mean mugs me and handed me the bag without a word even after I gave her an underserved thank you. If this were my party, I'd be demanding a refund. This place makes other local diners look like five-star establishments. Unbelievable and completely disappointing. Will never be returning.

I also did order their French onion soup which was my very first French onion soup and I liked it it was covered in cheese it was very tasty I wasn't expecting to like it just because of the name but I tried something new and I liked it. I did find out that they are closing from May 11th to the first week of June just because they are renovating the place however the food is going to stay the same and everything else is going to stay the same they're just going to renovate and update the place the service was amazing she took care of me I sat by the bar and unfortunately I wasn't able to get her name. Parking is an issue it's in the plaza so a lot of parking spots. I am definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more things on the menu oh and they do have happy hour from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for a few of their appetizers and some drinks that is something to take a note of. Happy eating!

The food is really good and service is quick. they have a verity of breakfast options for those looking for a morning bite, but I have only tried the steak and barbacoa tacos as well as the steak burrito. The steak here is pretty good, it's got good flavor and the texture is right. The barbacoa is flavorful and not full of fat. They also have great salsas. I highly recommend the habanero and the avocado salsas, lots of flavor. If you're looking for a pace to grab a taco, fill up your car, play lotto, and get a coffee to go this is it :).
