I am disappointed that I've not been here before today. The Village is most certainly going to be…read morean frequent and easy go-to for me in the future. The place is clean, bright and cozy without being cramped. The service is friendly and helpful. The menu is not too big nor too small....just right. We ordered the spinach pie - flakey crust, delicious spinach & feta filling with herbs. Most definitely homemade fresh, not a frozen food service product. Gyro dinner with spinach rice and Greek potatoes - gyro meat was tender and not overly spiced/flavored like, once again, a nasty food service product. Potatoes were cooked perfectly. Soft and seasoned spot-on, obviously made fresh and not left dying under a heat lamp. The spinach rice was tasty but a bit salty. I can assume that since everything is fresh made this might just be a one-off. I am more than willing to try this dish again to test out this hypothesis. I definitely recommend. Please support this venue to assure that this option for an alternative to bar food in downtown Sycamore lasts for a long time to come

Got the gyro dinner and the Greek salad. Big serving for the dinner but could use more pita bread…read moreand "Greek sauce". My husband really enjoyed it. I had the Greek salad. The chicken was super tasty and I loved the block of feta. Although, for 15.00, I could get double the salad and chicken and get pita bread at another local Greek restaurant. I would suggest adding more to the salad for the price of 16.50. I will try something different next time but I think my husband will stick with the Gyro dinner and we will just ask for more sauce and pita bread.

New day, new review…read more We hadn't visited in a while (time marches on) and I had a burning taste for the Dirty Bird. So back we went. The theme is still the same - CHICKEN EVERYWHERE! It's clear, and they love chicken. I mean they REALLY love Chicken! First off, they are FAST. They were very busy - almost every table filled and they kept filling after people left. After we placed our order, our chicken (two Baby Bird meals) came out HOT and FRESH within around 7 minutes. With my appetite, the Baby Bird is the right size, and I have a big appetite for their chicken. Service was great as well - our drinks were checked, and the server was very pleasant. What a great place to visit in Downtown Sycamore! The drink menu is still impressive, and they even have a Whiskey Acres Bourbon-infused barbeque sauce.

" I said no . Then I ordered filthy burger basket which had fried jalapeños with it but there was no spicy symbol next to it so I thought it will be ok, I asked can I get a little cheese cup for my little fries ,and she said "I don't know if we have enough cheese sauce for the big order but I will let you know " what really bothered me was the people behind me pushing against the cushion of the booth,the booths must share a cushion in between , it felt like a kid was kicking me from behind on a roadtrip,was so glad when they left but just then couple minutes later a heavy set couple came in and sat behind me,it felt like a heavy set person pushing with their back against the cushion from behind sitting at in a booth,I had to lean forward.when I got my my filthy burger, it tasted good but it was a liar,those fried jalapeño need a spicy symbol because it was hot ,I kept eating it because it taste too good, my wife got the Nashville sandwich and it didn't have a spicy symbol either but it was hot anyway she said it was good,watching her felt like a episode of hot ones,the server brought house made sauce on the house because there was no cheese sauce which was awesome,then later she said"we got has some cheese sauce still want it? "I told her hell yea ,that cheese sauce was the best cheese sauce I had ever had,will be back for cheese sauce ,4 star because of sharing booth cushion

If you've been to any Portillo's before, you already know they have great good. The service is fast…read moreand the orders are prepared accurately. I like this Portillo's in particular because they have nice outdoor seating. The direction the seating is facing (I think it's west) always seems to give you a nice, gentle breeze. I think it's only about 5 or 6 tables, but it's very pleasant. I got a beef, fries and a soft drink and everything went as planned. I didn't take a pic, because it would look like any other one that a yelp reviewer posted. I wish I had taken a picture of the seating area though. I go there to meet friends once every three months. It's about an hour from my home, but it's equidistant from the other 3 people that I meet with. The people at the register are friendly and quick. I always use my perks card, so this time I got free fries. I always love going to Portillo's.

Tom & Jerry's Very…read moredisappointing experience. The food we ordered was not good and went mostly uneaten. The chicken was extremely dry, the fries were flavorless, and the ribeye sandwich was cut into small pieces and was tough to chew. I called the restaurant to let them know about the quality of the food. Alex told me a refund would be issued and said the manager approved it. Later in the same phone call, the manager agreed to the refund and then a different manager reversed course, saying the food would need to be brought back. By that point, the food had already been thrown away because it was not edible. I did take photos of the food in the garbage and will be including them with this review. What was most frustrating was not just the poor food quality, but the inconsistent and contradictory response afterward. I reached out to give the restaurant an opportunity to address the issue and instead received mixed messages and no resolution. Clear follow-through from management would have gone a long way in resolving this experience

We dropped in on the first Friday of Lent, and were surprised we were able to get served quickly. This is a standard KFC/LJS shop - ambiance wise, it has the big bucket of chicken lamp over the table and half the store is LJS and the other have KFC. No problem. We ordered, I had the two piece fish with fries, and she had the one piece fish with 4 shrimp. The fish, fries and shrimp were all freshly cooked, the soft drink machine worked well, and the shop was reasonably clean. The fish tasted great with the tartar sauce, which was available at the counter. My wife ordered their cole slaw, which was as good as it usually is. All in all, Jones itch scratched nicely!

Five stars. Not just for the chicken -- though it's great -- but because the Raising Cane's in…read moreDeKalb, Illinois is home to a miracle of modern engineering: the loudest restroom stall door on Earth. This isn't hyperbole. This door doesn't simply close -- it announces itself with the fury of creation. It's a blast so thunderous it could part clouds. When I tried to shut it, the resulting sound wave nearly knocked the sauce cups off the counter. My grandpa, who's lived through enough history to be unshakable, heard it and went pale -- said it sounded like "the sky itself falling." The entire restaurant froze. Fry cooks paused. Toasts trembled. For a full five seconds, everyone in that Cane's shared a single, reverent silence. And that's when it hit me: this door is not just loud -- it's holy. It deserves pilgrims. People travel the world to see the Grand Canyon, to visit the pyramids, to circle the Kaaba in Mecca. But one day, I believe they'll come to DeKalb -- not for the chicken tenders (though they are solid) -- but to experience The Door. To stand before it in awe. To hear its unearthly thunder and whisper, "I was here." You don't visit this Raising Cane's. You make a pilgrimage to it. You bring your friends, your family, your earplugs. You witness something primal and transcendent -- a door that humbles all who hear it. Five stars. A divine experience in fast-food form. Come for the chicken, stay for the revelation.

Delicious texture to the chicken with a light crunchy, not breaded, and the sauce? OMG!!! Travel here from Arizona if need be. The mango lassi was spot on delicious but the lavender smooth? It's from another world that is full of peace and happiness. Seriously... no exaggeration. Come and experience.
