    It's time to redecorate and attend more to the food quality. Been a customer for well over 30 years. Needs some attention.

Perfect balance of flavors and the brisket is always on point. Im not a big horseradish guy so I order this one without it. If everything is so good then you must be asking why I gave it a 4 star and not a 5 star review well... its the bbq chicken. For me this was disappointing. Had a weird texture almost rubber like in certain spots. Lacked the flavor you expect in bbq chicken. Overall not good for my bbq pallet. Will I be ordering here again....of course I will!! But never the bbq chicken again.. overall great place for lunch.

    Best wishes for great success to the new owner of this business…read more There are many aspects to this business. All of them seem to indicate an establishment worthy of our patronage. There is an additional special element that is important. This business characterizes itself as "kosher". To some people that is irrelevant but for others it is primary. The previous owner had an attitude that was very antagonistic towards the national and international kosher certification entities. For a lack of more or better information, it seemed like there was something "ideological" that took preference over business and community interests. All of us know that there are many choices for excellent restaurants in our area. That is in general. It is not true for Jews strictly observing the dietary rules. The non-Kosher observers, Jews and Non-Jews, were happy to learn Shaevitz UPtown Bbq was sold to a young and ambitious individual with a good Jewish education. North Shore was going to have a place where everyone observing the dietary law could feel comfortable. For non-Kosher observant, it was going to be a place to entertain kosher friends, business associate and family. At this time the established has a kosher certification from an induvial but, not from any of the many known kosher certification organizations. It sadly prevents many people from patronizing this business. This is an opinion. It is intended to be helpful for customers and for the owners. It is not intended to imply anything negative about the individuals or to question his character or intentions. Summary - It is simply easier and more functional for people that are Kosher observant, no matter where they are from, to enter an establishment with confidence that the word Kosher is applied in a context validated by a known entity. I hope that certification is on the way, and we can enjoy the excellent food that has been noted in many other reviews.

So, we were able to taste a variety of choices! The salmon was incredible! The Teriyaki mushrooms were delicious! We can say the same thing about the Texas brisket, the BBQ brisket slider, chicken tenders, the rib tip sandwich, the stir fry beef and broccoli, and the ribeye steak entree. The sides were just as delicious as the main meal! They are extremely generous with their side of fries as well! All I can say is although this was our first visit, it will definitely not be our last! Shaevitz is under new management and everyone there is beyond kind and provides great service! You must try for yourselves!

My companion is vegetarian and had a variety of options. We ordered at the counter and picked a table. I ordered the grilled salmon with cornbread and green beans, and my companion had the chili. Chili was a large portion and she enjoyed it. The salmon had grill marks and a charred taste and was cooked well. It was the first day it had been on the menu, I would order it again. Green beans still had a bite to them which was exactly what I wanted. Mushy green beans are unappetizing. Corn bread was sweet. With lots of events at HPHS in my future, I will definitely be back.

    Super disappointed in this place. We had previously tried the Libertyville location and had a not…read moreso great experience there, that we were given a gift card to make up for the disappointment. We finally decided to give them another shot at their HighWood location and I can say, we will probably never eat there again. It wasn't the food, it was more the service. So we ordered our family fest for dine it. The restaurant wasn't packed, but was occupied with a good amount diners. We weren't given enough silverware, so we requested more and got handed a basket with silverware. I went to place it on the table and it laid unevenly, so I lifted it up and found what looked like a black rubber stopper. After inspecting it more, I realized it was a rubber chair foot covering. How the hell it ended up on the table, I don't really know, except I'm pretty sure it was stuck onto the bottom of the basket that they gave me. Regardless- how unsanitary. How was something that should be on the bottom of a chair, make its way on top of a table?? And when I brought it to the attention of one of the workers- he "apologized" like it was no big deal. By then I had already lost my appetite. It made me question the cleanliness of the place... never again....
