    Clean, lots of seating and nice employees. The bbq chicken pizza was good! The smoothies were all made correctly!

    Stopped here for some smoothies to go. It was my first visit to Tropical Smoothie cafe. I was impressed with there selection of smoothies but was surprised with some of there great food options. The Staff was super helpful telling us about the different drinks. I got a Mango Magic and a Detox. Both were excellent but liked the Detox best it was refreshing and liked the hint of ginger. I'm differently coming back... perfect for a hot summer day!

    Grand Opening today!

    They just had the grand opening and were giving away smoothies for $1.99 all day! I got the Beach Bum and it was strawberry, banana and chocolate. I was pleasantly surprised to hear when they gave me the option between white or dark chocolate. I had never tried the white chocolate so I opted for that and it was delicious! They only have one size but for $5 you get a lot! They also have hot food like sandwiches and flatbreads. So if you're looking for a healthier option to go along with your smoothies, this is a great spot. I'll definitely have to check out their food offerings next time!

    I've spent years searching for the perfect deli sandwich. Every time I'd find a place I liked,…read moresomething would eventually disappoint me. Maybe the bread wasn't fresh, the lunch meat tasted processed, or the quality just wasn't consistent. Tony & Tina's Deli is the first place that has truly become my go-to. I absolutely love their subs, especially the Brayden. I always order the large, and it's packed with so much fresh meat that I can give a generous portion of the turkey to my toddler as a snack and still have a full sandwich left for myself. That's saying something! Their potato salad is also outstanding. It tastes homemade, not like something scooped out of a mass-produced container. It's exactly the kind of potato salad you picture enjoying on a hot summer day. What really sets Tony & Tina's apart is the customer service. The owners genuinely care about their customers. I've only had one issue, and it wasn't even their fault. It was a delivery service problem. They personally responded and made sure everything was handled professionally and promptly. If you haven't been there yet, give them a try. Grab a sandwich, check out the desserts, and if you're feeling lucky, they even have gaming machines. If you're busy and work from home like I do, their app makes ordering incredibly easy. Tony & Tina's has earned a customer for life!

    In light of Rosh Hashanah, we were looking for Jewish places to eat and came across Schmaltz Deli…read more We never knew there was a Jewish deli in the area and boy were we missing out. As soon as we walked in, we knew it was going to be a great experience. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor tables available as well as a traditional deli counter. They also have a drive thru! You can choose to order at the counter or be seated with a more traditional restaurant-like service. Our waiter was young but very professional and provided great recommendations. To start, they bring a complimentary bowl of bagel chips (a unique twist and a great way to repurpose old bagels). For my meal, I had a half American sandwich with a bowl of matzo ball soup. It was simple but delicious. On our way out, we stopped at the deli and ordered a few rugelach. They tasted so fresh! My favorite was the apricot flavor. Definitely hope to be back real soon to support such a great spot! Shana Tova!

    3.5 stars, but rounded up because I didn't feel they deserved any deduction…read more I was REALLY looking forward to their #20 Old New Yorker, which I got in their Navel Cut pastrami. It was a solid 7, which is why I place it at 3.5 stars. I may be being picky here but it just wasn't to the level of "melt-in-your-mouth" pastrami standards for me. Not to say it wasn't good, because it was perfectly fine. In fact, it's better than most of the pastrami sandwiches I tried in Chicagoland. Maybe it's the fact that I had to bring it back to the office to eat it, and half hour had gone by and pastrami weren't as warm and the Jewish rye had become soggy by the time I took the first bite. I mean, it goes without saying that the sandwich would have been 3 times better had I sat down immediately and had it. Again, all things considered, it was a perfectly good sandwich. One interesting thing was that I had never been to an establishment that included a half sour pickle instead of a normal one and gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. Pickles can be a hit or a miss for me. I like my pickles to be crunch, but some places offer overripened ones that become borderline mushy. Schmaltz's half sour pickle was not overly salty or sour, making it very attractive for me. The more I'm thinking about it, I'm convinced that I'll have to go back and try their #14 Sloppy Paul, which is the corned beef with sauerkraut, which is another favorite of mine. And this time, I'll be sure to dine in and give another review of it to see how much I like them better.

    My husband and I went here for the first time tonight and were not disappointed. We were looking…read morefor a place with chicken sandwiches, so that's what we ordered. Hubby got the combo with fries and a drink, and I just got the sandwich. The sandwiches are huge. Like the size of my hand with my fingers splayed out. So the portions are great. Prices may seem high to some, but for what we got I think it was reasonable. I'm leary of meat these days as quality seems to have gone down at a lot of places, but that wasn't an issue here at all. The chicken was very tender and juicy. The seasoning was really unique and the sauces on the sandwich were delicious. I'm not sure what the flavors were. It was kind of like a BBQ sauce, but there were spices in there that were more maybe Indian or Mediterranean? The ranchy sauce combined with the BBQ and seasonings was very flavorful but not overpowering. The cheese was melty and delicious, as well! Honestly, not a single improvement to be made, imo. The fries are seasoned with something similar to the sandwiches. Unique and yummy. Some might find them too salty, but we enjoyed it. The sodas aren't name-brand, which I really liked, as I prefer to not support Coca-Cola or Pepsi brands. They also have desserts, but we were too full to try them. Maybe next time! There were many things in the menu, salads, bowls, sandwiches, rotisserie chicken, brisket, drinks, shakes, Chai tea... Lots to try! I'll be back to try the Chai and dessert, for sure. The decor was laid back and comfortable. Tables are picnic table style and easy to get in and out of, as well as sturdy for those with larger bodies like me, but they could be difficult for those with mobility issues. Something to bear in mind if you aren't able-bodied. The staff was very friendly. It was very clean and the bathrooms were nice. Cute decor with a country and highland cow vibe. Please give this place a try! I really don't think you'll regret it.

The…read morevodka sauce and cheese was so flavorful and the chicken was moist and crispy, and bread was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Spice was perfect, just enough heat but not too much. The service was great, the cashier helped me find what sandwich I was looking for, asked if I wanted the lunch special and introduced me to diet RC, which I didn't even know was a thing. Seems like a nice family owned restaurant. I was tempted to eat inside but I opted to eat in my car even though the inside was very clean and had a nice vibe, only critique is seats were a little worn. Edit: Also! I was reading the past reviews and I don't know if they changed their pricing, but i got two sodas, the sandwich and fries and it came out to like $13, which in this economy was not bad at all! 4.5/5 - I will be frequenting this spot weekly for lunch. I want to try the other sandwiches but that vodka parm was so good. We'll see.

It was a small place with only a few tables that was empty at 2 p on a Saturday. The gentleman working was patient while I read the menu. We chose the original chicken Cesar and the KO Philly. The chicken Cesar was amazing. The cutlet was cooked so well and the dressing had great flavor!! The KO Philly's meat was so tender and we really enjoyed trying something new with all the flavors of the KO Philly. Didn't give 5 stars because it was a bit expensive for 2 subs (that don't come with anything) & the KO Philly needed more jalapeños to offset the sweet BBQ (the jalapeños were a great touch!)

    This restaurant had been on my list to try for awhile and stopped in on a Saturday for lunch…read more I will say the interior pictures are updated from previous reviews. The dining area has many tables and booths. However, the dine in and to go entrances are separate. I did notice the to go side was a lot busier. We were greeted with smiles and sat right away. I went with the chicken kebab plate. I enjoyed the rice. Chicken was seasoned nicely, but the texture was a little off. I also ordered a side of a pita which was tasty. The sauce served with the chicken tasted like pizza sauce to me. Our server didn't check on us during our dining experience. Another positive, at time of review this restaurant is part of chase restaurant rewards if you hold a chase credit card.

Unfortunately when I went on a Friday afternoon the dining area was closed. Looked like they were filming and taking pictures. They were in the kitchen too. Anyway, I placed an order to go and less than 10 minutes later I was out the door. Ordered the BAM cheeseburger and small fries. A little pricey but then everything is. The mixture of beef and lamb is luxurious. Great blend and let's hear it for a good old fashioned char burger! The spices and sauce are subtle yet distinctive and unique. Wonderful flavors throughout. The fries are the larger/thick cut that I usually don't enjoy, but these were fried perfectly and had a great texture. Now I'm going to be nit picky on the build of the burger. And this is obviously personal preference. The burger patty is a generous size. However, the cheese was so melted and thin, I barely noticed. The onion was a raw white onion and also a generous cut. I would prefer a red onion or grill them. As it was, the onion kind of dominated the flavor. The tomato, pickles, and lettuce were all good, which added up to a tall build. Finally, a brioche bun. I know, the world loves a brioche bun. On a burger, I don't want the extra sweetness of brioche. Give me a good old potato bun or sesame seed bun instead. Nothing bad about any of the above. Great service, fast and friendly. I look forward to the dining room open and trying a gyro plate! I'll be back for sure.
