    Over the weekend, I ordered two Original Grand Slams and a T-Bone dinner with a side of hash browns and broccoli. The sides were whatever. The broccoli was mushy and salty, and the hash browns were oily. I asked for my steak medium, but I probably should've gone rare, considering how it came out, and Denny's is less than 10 minutes away from where I live. The steak was dry and overcooked. I'm thinking it kept cooking in the to-go container since it didn't get a chance to rest, which I expected might happen, but regardless, it did not hit the spot. I honestly could've made a better one at home, but when there are no ingredients at home, and it's freezing outside, delivery is the way to go. The pancakes were solid, though. When I actually go in person, I usually have a better experience with both food and service, but delivery is a hard pass for me from now on.

    Alex greeted us when we walked in and we were pleasantly surprised to learn that Tuesdays kids eat free. My 10 year old daughter was not hungry so we took her meal to go. She picked chicken strips and a side salad. She loved it! My husband and I ordered the All America Slam for $12.99 and the second one was $1 so yummy! We forgot to take a picture because we were so hungry and did not think about it until after we ate! Highly recommend this location! Everyone is nice and the portion sizes are large! Pancakes filled the plate! Alex kept our beverages full and checked in with us several times! Come see him on Tuesday night and bring the kids!!

    Raw pancakes

    The food was raw. The service was fine but we couldn't eat the food at all. Both plates had pancakes with raw centers and my friend had undercooked bacon and potatoes. This is the second time I've had a bad experience here. The last time the wait was an hour for food for some reason and this time they informed us that they had to call the shift because they had left the building. We were there at 11 pm on Sunday 5/10/26

    Right next to the hotel so great for a late night snack?! NO, stomach was feeling terrible after so bad decision for both of us :(.... Food quality and cleanliness probably needs improving. Denny's is no longer an option in the future.

    "It's an American Institution!" Denny's Arlington Heights is a pretty nice location. The food is always pretty good here, service can sometimes be a bit slow but they're always pretty friendly. Can't beat the omelette and hash browns - classic meal but with inflation I'd recommend the Grand Slam and I believe kids eat free on Tuesdays you just can't beat that. Thanks for staying reasonable with your prices Denny's.

    For me, this is a solid Denny's location when I'm looking for reasonably priced diner food that will fill me up near the southern Arlington Heights area. The seating is spacious though maybe a little dated at the moment. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient, Portion sizes are fairly generous. The parking setup is slightly confusing as this feels like it's in a little more cramped spot than many other Denny's locations, but there's plenty of it. In terms of cooking, this is a bit better than other Denny's I've visited in that the food comes out very hot, there are some noticable textures like crisp hash browns and crisp edges on pancakes, and the presentation is fairly good. The food also seems a bit less greasy overall than some other Denny's locations that I've been to. Overall, good option for a quick and reasonably priced meal if you're looking for diner food in the area. There's plenty of options to satisfy any craving.

    My husband and I met a friend at this Arlington Heights Denny's. It had been a while since I've been to a Denny's. I forgot how good the food here could be. I got the chocolate shake and the cinnamon pancake slam. The slam comes with eggs, hash browns, bacon, and sausage. The shake was rich and sweet. The cinnamon pancakes were fantastic and may be my new favorite item there. The booth was small and cramped, and the server could have come over a couple of more times, but overall, we had a good experience. I look forward to coming back to Denny's.

    Just went here for a snack with my daughter at night to get food to go. There was No cars in the lot and no one in the restaurant. We order season fries, hash browns and zesty nachos. Check and ordering was smooth however the food was terrible. I would think with the place being slow and not busy the food would be good quality. My daughter didn't even want to eat her food because it was nasty. Hash browns did not look or taste cooked at all. The season fries were burnt. I asked for extra sour cream for nachos and did not rcv it. This has to be the worst tasting food I've had at a restaurant ever honestly. I am very disappointed with how the food came out. I should have checked it before I left the restaurant. Because I would have asked for at least the hash browns to be cooked better. I usually do not write reviews unless something is really great or really bad. This was extremely bad. I will probably never eat dennys again.

    So cheap 10.99

    I have never heard of Fox & Turtle before, but looking at the NW Chicago Restaurant week, it looked…read moredelicious to try. I was treating my parents for my dad's birthday month (My daughter has a lot of activities, lol) and the menu appeared to have something for everyone. The 22 minute drive to Itasca was so worth it! The restaurant, which is open to the public, is on the same property as the Itasca Country Club, which is not open to the public. You go down the stairs, through the developing pizza bar, and to the restaurant. The restaurant space itself is cozy, with beautiful, natural lighting, and lots of seating options. We were asked booth or table and seated right by the picture window with beautiful views of their ice rinks and golf course. The food was above and beyond my expectations! Between the 5 people at the table, I sampled the French Onion soup, Sweet & Spicy Brussels, Bacon Smash Burger, Pot Roast Grilled Cheese, Sweet Tees (Donut Holes), Peanut Butter Smore-o, and Verde Dulce. The soup was not salty as I find some iterations, the brussels had complex flavors with hot honey, bacon, candied pistachios, and crumbled feta. The pot roast grilled cheese was very flavorful, but my boyfriend did state he wished the sandwich had more meat in it. The Sweet Tees donut holes were cooked to perfection without being oily and the jam accompaniment was a perfect texture and level of sweet. The Peanut Butter Smore-o was creamy and decadent with its perfectly ratioed layers of ganache, peanut butter mousse, Oreos, and whipped cream. The Verde Dulce, though, was the delicious classic olive oil cake with pistachio gelato & that throwback of candied pistachios from my appetizer. Even better than the food, our server, Kara, was one of the sweetest, most attentive human beings! She answered all of our questions, refilled our fountain drink and iced tea glasses when they were at 75% without prompting, made sure my dad felt celebrated with a candle, etc. Her teammate who was in charge of clearing our table was also prompt and I appreciate her asking what plates she could take. Overall, it was a beautiful late morning/early afternoon with delicious food and impeccable service. 10/10 recommend!!!

    If you haven't discovered Fox & Turtle yet, you're missing one of the best hidden gems in the area…read more I was genuinely surprised to learn it's open to the public because it feels every bit like an upscale private country club. The outdoor patio overlooking the golf course is absolutely beautiful--relaxing, scenic, and the kind of place that makes you feel like you're on vacation. Even on a busy Thursday evening, the atmosphere was lively without ever feeling hectic. Our server, Jordyn, was outstanding. She looked young, but don't let that fool you--she was completely on top of everything. We were a party of six that couldn't decide what we wanted, laughed way too loudly, and probably tested her patience more than once. She handled us with grace, humor, and a smile the entire time. Somewhere along the way we started calling her "Wednesday" from The Addams Family, and she rolled with it perfectly. Great sense of humor and fantastic service. The food was excellent. The Crispy Eggplant Salad was absolutely phenomenal--fresh, flavorful, and easily large enough to share between two people. The burger was cooked perfectly, the cocktails were outstanding, and everything arrived promptly. The bar staff also deserve a shout-out. They were welcoming from the moment we arrived, made great eye contact, acknowledged everyone immediately, and had drinks in our hands in no time. That's the kind of hospitality that makes people want to come back. Fox & Turtle has the rare combination of great food, attentive service, excellent drinks, and a beautiful setting. It's the kind of place you expect to find inside an exclusive club, yet thankfully it's open for everyone to enjoy. We'll definitely be back.

We talked long with the bartender and a young man that worked there. Order a few drinks and talked with these two guys for fifteen minutes or so off and on before we even ordered anything. Just felt right, small conversation great atmosphere. We each ordered the three taco plate. I had one fish taco, one elote taco and one Arrachera taco. My wife hard three pork belly tacos. Hard to say which was out favorite because they were all equally as delicious and bursting with flavor from the fresh ingredients.

I also got to try their seasonal blood orange margarita, which was also delicious! We had the flautas appetizer and for my entree, I ordered the chorizo taco and the pork belly taco. I didn't even make it to the pork belly taco because I was full off the flauta and chorizo taco lol. The hot sauces that they bring to your table in the squirt bottles were bomb dot com!! Spicy enough for some "flava" but not burn your bottle hole spicy. Overall, I highly recommend this establishment for the vibes (I requested they play Bad Bunny and they obliged- zero questions asked and no pushback) and the food! If you're ever having group get together or small party, this place would be great! They also have brunch on the weekends which I will bring some moms back for, for some "Momosa" Dates!

We made a reservation because I'd heard this place can get pretty busy. Although it didn't seem too crowded when we first arrived on a Saturday, it filled up quickly throughout our meal. I definitely recommend making a reservation, especially if you're planning to come for dinner. As soon as we walked in, I was struck by how beautiful the restaurant is. Since the building was once a church, they preserved the stained-glass windows and cathedral ceilings, which give the space so much character. We ended up sitting on the patio because it was a gorgeous day, but I definitely want to come back and dine inside so I can fully appreciate the interior. The patio was modern, spacious, and completely shaded, making it very comfortable. Since it's located right next to the little lake, we also enjoyed a nice breeze throughout our meal. Our waitress was friendly and attentive overall, but there was one moment that stood out. My friend's baby accidentally knocked over a full glass of iced coffee, spilling it all over my friend's lap and onto the floor. The waitress watched as my friend cleaned up the mess herself but didn't offer to help or replace the spilled drink. Aside from that, the service was good. My friends and I all ordered something different, and everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the salmon poke bowl ($19), which was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly refreshing. The ingredients tasted high quality, and all the flavors worked really well together. It was more filling than I was expecting! Price-wise, I expected the menu to be more expensive than it actually was. I'm sure dinner prices are higher, especially for steak and seafood, but the brunch menu was quite reasonable. Most breakfast and brunch dishes range from $12-$20, making it a great value for both the quality of the food and the beautiful atmosphere. Overall, we all enjoyed our experience and I'll for sure be back! I'd love to try other menu items and come for dinner, too!
