We had a great experience at Lazy Dog in Buffalo Grove, IL. We were celebrating Mother's Day, and…read morewe sat in the outdoor section. They had the windows covered with plastic and the temperature was perfect. We had a small issue with one of the entrees and they took care of it completely, even comping the entree.

I paid with a gift card but only part of the gift card was used (rest charged to my credit card). Cesar was on duty as manager & gave me such a hard time that the giftcard didn't pull entire amount. He gave me attitude as if i caused the issue. Instead of simple drive thru order, I had to go inside and wait for my order to be voided. I got home and the amount taken off my gift card was missing!! Absolutely ridiculous waste of my time. Now I remember why I didn't use this entire gift card. I called to let Cesar know about the missing money and the phone keeps going to voicemail. Lincolnshire location as an amazing manager (Drew) & general manager (Cody) who helped me to resolve this issue.

Wow. I recently went in and saw they offered a "Patriot Burger" made by Danny G. This…read more Patriot Burger by Danny G is a bold, well-crafted burger that stands out from the first bite. The 3 patty burger is thick, juicy, and cooked perfectly, with a slight char on the outside and rich taste. It's clear that quality beef is the foundation here. The Patriot Burger by Danny G feels like a tribute to the American spirit--bold, unapologetic, and built on quality and hard work. Each layer reflects the idea of freedom of choice and individuality, coming together to create something uniquely satisfying. It's a reminder that being a Patriot is about pride in what you create and appreciation for the simple freedoms that make it possible. Thank you to Wiener Take All & Danny G for the "Patriot Burger"!

I have been here a couple of times and both the times I have had good service and food. In my two visits, the following is what I have ordered: 'What The Flame' burger Thai + Coconut milk tea with lychee & coconut jelly Cheeseburger Spicy BBQ wings Chicken Rice Bowl w/o their red sauce Hot Chick sandwich All the food was good. I liked all the dishes I tried. The What The Flame burger, Chicken Rice Bowl, and the Hot Chick sandwich were my favorites. The spicy bbq wings were well cooked, saucy, and had a good flavor but they weren't quite spicy. The Thai Coconut milk tea was decent. I like this place and will be going back again. If you haven't been here before, then definitely check it out.

Last time they had a…read moremixed-up (which was satisfactory resolved), and we also found out that the Potbelly in Wheeling is actually slightly closer to where we live, so, this time we placed our quick lunch order at the one in Wheeling, which turned out to be a good experience. Since my husband went to pick up the sandwiches, I can only comment on the food itself. We had a buy 1 get 1 free deal, which was a really good deal. We had ordered two multigrain avocado turkey sandwiches, that came with avocado, turkey breast, and cucumber. We just added Swiss cheese, artichokes, red peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, mustard, and seasoning. It came to a great sandwich with abundance of ingredients, that were all fresh and delicious. I always like their bread that has a crunchy skin and soft inside. I could only finish half of a sandwich each time for lunch, since the portions are very generous. I would highly recommend Potbelly sandwiches for a quick and delicious lunch!

This place is brand new! Right next door to Panda Express. Stopped in while picking up Chick-fil-a…read moreand they just opened. I was immediately greeted by the staff, warm and welcomingly. The delicious, enticing smell of Auntie Anne's Pretzels and Cinnabon fills the air! I love that this location is not inside a mall. I ordered a three original cinnamon rolls and I was told that a four pack cost the same as three, and the four pack was freshly made. SOLD! I also ordered a medium lemonade. The lemonade tastes, freshly squeezed with yummy bits, but not too much. It's got the perfect amount of sweetness and tart. I'm pretty excited about this new location. There's Jamba Juice as well, all rolled up in one. Very convenient, very friendly, and extremely clean. Can't wait to come back with hubby and kids.

This new location features Auntie Anne's, Jamba Juice and Cinnabon all behind one counter. On my…read morefirst visit, I ordered an original Auntie Anne's pretzel and a super antioxidant smoothie. Now, I have loved Auntie Anne's pretzels for years, and have never had a bad pretzel there. However, this one sadly fell short. I was disappointed when my pretzel was no more than 3/4 of the size that they serve at the mall, which I didn't realize until I unbagged it in my car. Then, after a couple of good bites, I discovered that most of the pretzel was burned on the bottom. I noticed the unexpected charred flavor first, and then discovered the blackened dough. Ugh! But I was driving at this point and didn't have time to go back to the store. At almost $6 for a pretzel, I don't know if I'll try another one here. My Jamba Juice smoothie was delicious - no complaints there! The place was fully staffed and the employees were friendly. My total check was almost $15 for one pretzel and a medium smoothie. On a positive note, I had a $10 Jamba Juice gift card, and because these three shops are combined and checkout is at one register, I was able to apply it to both my smoothie and my pretzel.

I was craving french fries from a mom and pop style fast food joint. And I spotted Niki's Gyros…read more When I walked in the owner was welcoming. There were a few people eating and someone waiting for an order to go. I asked they type of cut their fries they serve and they were the thin, crispy kind similar to McDonald's. I was like DONE, let's order a large order. As I was waiting for the fries, I notice that they had 4-Cheese Pizza Puffs - boom, ring me up as they don't have cheese ones very often. I took both for takeout. As I drove home, I could smell the fries and I couldn't wait, so I grabbed a few at a stop light, I'm sure you all have done it. When I arrived, the fries were still crisp and hot and so was the pizza puff. The fries just bring me back to living in the Northside of Chicago and walking to the a fast food joint to order fries and play video games. The pizza puff was so good! I'll be coming back often as I really liked the food and the owner was really cool.

Niki's Gyros (aka Tasty Spin) is a middling local gyro / greasy fast food joint at Weiland and…read moreDeerfield offering fair gyros at slightly elevated prices. I obtained the chicken gyro ($13, pictures) and large side of fries ($5). The sandwich, while perhaps slightly generous in meat, was fairly bland with little flavor in the chicken and only minimally elevated by the honey mustard. The fries, thankfully, were quite good with an excellent amount of crisp. The inside is clean but somewhat worn down, with the addition of gambling video machines in a cordoned off area nearby, always disappointing to see. As we ordered take out I will defer on service. I found $13 to be rather expensive for such food of limited quality. While there are limited pickings at this intersection, and I like to support local businesses, I was disappointed by Niki's. Hopefully they can improve in the future. Food: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 2.5/5 Value: 3/5

Fast food Chicago staples, pretty good from an outsider's view…read more In Chicago again, and wanted another pass at the staples. After getting a pizza, had to get the hot dog as well. Got a bunch of the other local items as well, got them delivered and they came in pretty quickly. The polish sausage was a highlight. Grilled with plenty of onions. Simple but tasty, and the bread was soft and collapsed down to nothing. The Chicago dog, we got it as is and the flavor combo works. Vinegar from the pickled veggies, sweet from the peppers, a good beef dog and an easily compromised but soft roll. The tamale was not bad. Lacking spice and flavor in the masa, but it was girthy and filled with chicken. Not pictured was a single meatball. The meatball was too dense, but the ragu had a good strong tomato base and lots of umami. The sauce was good, the meatball was lacking. For a quick bite, it's pretty good. I'm sure there's some local shops that can put them to shame, but as a traveler it hits all the spots.
