    We came here for carryout after a funeral for a (Jewish) friend. They have a very convenient way to order online and pick up. We were a long way out, and we ordered while driving an hour to the location. The location is inside a building called WiFi. There is a parking lot on both sides, and it is a very long building with several addresses and other (Jewish) businesses, as well as restrooms, but I did not use them. Across the street is a park and jogging/bike path. Very gorgeous area but not pedestrian-friendly. We got the Crunch Salad for $19 (!) and cinnamon rugelach. (It was listed as such but it may have been a cinnamon twist. It resembled a croissant with cinnamon rather than the square/oval shape rugelach that I'm used to. And it was moist and delicious) For the price the salad was very big, but rather hard to eat! I did not eat any til later, as we gorged on food before the funeral. The Crunch Salad has crispy or grilled chicken, pastrami bits, romaine lettuce and croutons. The dressing was similar to 1000 island, very good, but the crispy chicken was like pebbles! Very tough, and the pastrami was chewy, but otherwise pretty good. It may be better to go with grilled instead of crispy chicken. The place is small with efficient service. Our order was there when we arrived, in a paper bag and cardboard container. The other food looked good on display. There was a small eating area on a Thursday afternoon, but we opted to eat outside.

    Blooming onion shared at a table of 9--with leftovers.

    This was my first time eating at a big city kosher restaurant and I showed up with a group of my non-Jewish work colleagues, all of us there for a business trip. None of us knew what to expect and we loved all of it--the nice lady who took our orders, the delicious and generously-sized appetizers, the fusion of style and flavors. Kosher food is typically more expensive but these prices seemed pretty average for Chicago and the amount served was a lot; most of us took boxes back to the hotel and I finished leftovers at the airport. Several remarked it was the best food they had during their stay (and I'm with them). Would happily eat there again.

Took 30 minutes to get our salads and the entries took another 20 minutes. Okay, the beet salad with balsamic dressing was very good. The Caesar was standard, it was fine. The pizza was tasty but the salmon, likely the same as we get at Costco, was completely over cooked and the veggies were overly charred. Not a bad looking place but trying to understand how they were out of two pasta dishes, the most interesting on the menu by 6:30pm, pretty early that night....wont likely be back.

I want to give Taboun Grill 5 Stars - But, I would be telling the truth and that just isn't right for this Tzadik/Mensch. We enjoyed our meal and particularly enjoyed the appetizers. My Goyish friend - who considers himself Israeli commented that the Hummus was watery. I have to agree with him! ;-) - Service - from our Wonderful/Beautiful Romanian Waitress was on point; - Our water was always kept topped off and the Kitchen ran efficiently and expeditiously to deliver the food to the tables in a timely fashion; - Restaurant was busy - not mobbed; - which is a good thing. Interesting take on the Laffa - I enjoyed my meal and left with a full belly. Highlight of the Restaurant was the incredibly Judaica artwork that adorns the walls. I hope they are selling these pieces - because they were gorgeous - just lovely. You definitely felt like you were in an Israeli/Middle Eastern Restaurant - Tables were comfortable and you didn't feel crammed inside - like you would at Grill Point; But - this wasn't Grill Point (Kew Garden Hills, Queens) - Lots of Yentahs and Mitzvah boys. Enjoyed it and would definitely recommend. Enjoyable meal with great food! Price was reasonable for a Kosher Restaurant.

The gate sensors were not working properly, and the garage door was noisy and not operating as smoothly as it should. The technician quickly diagnosed both problems, repaired the gate, and completed a garage door tune-up with roller replacement.

We had a great experience working with them and highly recommend them for both gate repair and garage door services.

No one to tell you what todo. So we followed folks to the counter and after asking got a menu and sat down. Lots of regulars at this place. Seemed like they aged in place. The food is just okay. I had the burger baby a half lb. of beef. A huge sandwich with everything but flavor. hunh the texture of the beef was a little off. The onion rings were crispy but also missing the onion flavor. Wife had the jumbo dog with curly fries. A huge dog again just okay. Hermes would have been a better choice. A huge disappointment. Staff weren't unfriendly just unengaged. They all seemed bored. The prices were high. $40+ for the food and drink.

    Following my experience with Ken's Diner & Grill, I discovered Sarah's Brick Oven listed within the…read more'People also viewed' section of its yelp page. Out of several other restaurants listed, Sarah's was the only one that captured my interest, plus it was a restaurant that I had not visited before in Skokie. Sarah's Brick Oven itself is linked to Sarah's Tent, a market for kosher products that is located where Oakton St connects with N Crawford Ave in Skokie. And in spite of it being linked to Sarah's Tent, there is an acceptable number of parking spots available. After entering and having plenty of time to look at the menu above the counter, and even on the laminated menu, I was acknowledged shortly after the customer ahead of me had finished ordering. I took an interest in the impossible burger after contemplating between the truffle mac & pizza, and the norma jean burger after I noticed that the impossible burger came with barbecue, onion rings, and served on a pretzel bun! And it was completed within a reasonable timeframe. I opted out of dine-in, choosing to take my order to go because I had errands I needed to complete, plus I did not want to be in the area long. Moreover, the restaurant appeared clean, and the atmosphere gave off a very relaxed vibe. There were a number of tables with seats inside of the dining area, and I must say that I adored the interior, and the ceiling decoration which gave off sukkot vibes. As for the food, other than my jaw popping because I had to open my mouth wide to take a bite of that stacked impossible burger, I enjoyed the satisfying taste of it once I had gotten settled in for the evening. It was delicious! And I most definitely recommend it if you are having trouble identifying something to try on the menu at Sarah's. Being that I had a good experience, I would gladly re-visit Sarah's Brick Oven again whenever in the Skokie area. Or maybe I will just make a visit solely for it, tehehe. Service: 4 | Atmosphere: 4 | Food: 5 Recommendations: truffle mac & pizza, norma jean burger, impossible burger, pestorella, spinach almondina, black forest, eggplant shakshuka pizza, truffle alfredo, koh panghan pasta, eggplant lasagna, sicilian panini, avocado sandwich, omelette sandwich, sarah's acai bowl, tropical bowl, or crispy sweet potato salad. ~ To live well is to eat well. ~ Thomas G

    I'm extremely thankful to have a friend who introduced me to this bagel spot. Definitely a top 2…read morefavorite of mine. I haven't been to the location but have had these bagels consistently for over 10 years. The texture and flavor of the bagel is everything a NY bagel is and should be. Fluffy on the inside, somewhat crispy on the outside, and oh so thiccccccccck! Their cream cheese?! Ugh! Don't skip on it, seriously everything about this place is perfect. My go to selection is the egg bagel with chive cream cheese. It's chef's kiss and hits the spot. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME!!!!

    If you're expecting this to be interchangeable with the franchised bagel places that have spread…read moreacross the country, recalibrate now. This is not that. I've been going to New York Bagel & Bialy for over 50 years, and places like this operate on a different clock, a different standard, and frankly, a different philosophy of what a bagel is supposed to be. Timing matters. If you show up after about 8:00 AM, your odds of getting bagels at their absolute peak--still warm, properly textured, with that slight resistance on the outside and softness inside--go up significantly. Earlier can be hit or miss depending on the batch cycle, but once they're in stride, this place delivers. The essentials are all here and worth your time: poppy seed, sesame, everything, and especially the bialys. The bialys alone are reason enough to make the trip--properly done, with the right chew and depth of flavor that you simply won't find in mass-produced versions. Don't overcomplicate it. Grab a dozen. On your way home, stop and pick up a couple packages of Philadelphia Cream Cheese and some smoked salmon a jar of capers, a Bermuda onion--whether here or even from Walmart--and you've got a meal that outperforms most brunch menus at a fraction of the cost. This isn't trendy. It's not trying to be. It's something better: consistent, old-world, and still doing it the right way. If you're going to call something a bagel, the standard is not branding--it's process. That's why New York Bagel & Bialy on Touhy stands apart. They actually do it right: kettle-boiled first, then baked in rotating ovens. That single decision--boiling--changes the entire structure. It gelatinizes the outer starch layer, locks in density, and produces that thin, glossy crust with real chew. Without it, you don't have a bagel--you have bread with a hole. The rotating ovens matter too. They deliver even heat, which means you get the correct balance: a slight exterior crisp with a dense, elastic interior. No puffiness. No sponge. No collapse under toppings. That's the difference here. Most chains optimize for speed and shelf life, so they steam or shortcut the process. Many local shops land in the middle. This place doesn't compromise. If you care about what a bagel is supposed to be--not just what it's called--this is the benchmark in Chicago.
