Very cute place with great oldies music, played at a comfortable level. Fantastic service!…read more My husband loved his food: cheesy garlic bread, one sausage slice and one pepperoni slice. Sadly, no vegan options, even the salads had meat and cheese. There was one Veggie Sub that I could have ordered without cheese, but nobody was able to give me an answer if the bread contained dairy or egg. They also were unable to show me the packaging so that I could read the ingredients. They do offer a "gluten-free" pizza, but for true Celiacs, are unable to confirm that it does NOT come in contact with any gluten. So, safe for anyone who is not a true Celiac and chooses to eat gluten-free. Bonus: Buy 2 slices, get a cola free! Perhaps not the best move for the business, as they sell a DELICIOUS slushy lemonade.

Had a great experience at Garibaldi's Italian Eatery. The place has a fun old school vibe and feels…read morelike a classic neighborhood pizza spot. It is very casual and welcoming, and it honestly feels like a place that has something for everyone. We ordered the cheese pizza, veggie pizza, mozzarella sticks, and fries and everything came out fresh and satisfying. The pizza was super cheesy and the sides were a great addition. They also have a lot of dessert options, which was a nice surprise. We tried the black cherry and mango Italian ice, Eli's plain cheesecake, tiramisu, and a chocolate chip cookie and everything was really good. Another fun touch is the mini arcade inside, which makes it a great spot for families, groups, or just a laid back meal. Overall a great casual pizza spot with tons of options and desserts. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the Arlington Heights or Hoffman Estates area.

We decided to come here as 2 of my sons wanted to try this place. We invited my in-laws and my…read morebrother-in-law and his family. Since there was a total of 11 and the seating is first come first serve, we decided to call to see if they had reservations. They did take our name and reserved a table. When we arrived we noticed a table was reserved and we were informed that it was our table. We sat and looked over the menus. When we were ready my 2 boys and I went up to place our order. My one son has major allergies so we spoke to the chef and he came back out to recommend the dishes he can have. It was great that he did so and gave us confidence that my son would be able to eat without worrying too much about the ingredients. I ordered the Shrimp Kalamakia with a side of the Greek Rice. My son with the allergies ordered the Pork Kalamakia with Greek Rice and no pita, my other son ordered the Traditional Pork Gyro with Greek Rice. The sides we ordered: Saganaki Fritters and Spanakopitakia. My son that ordered the Pork Kalamakia devoured it. He said it was tender and juicy and probably could have eaten 4 skewers. My Shrimp Kalamakia was nicely charred and seasoned, I squeezed some lemon and it provided a nice tang over the seasoning. The Lemon rice pilaf was soft and cook just right and was nicely balanced. I had one Saganaki Ball and it was delicious. My son had the Pork Gyros said it was really good and the Tzatziki sauce was creamy and rich with flavors. My in-laws bought the table desserts and I got the Baklava and my wife got Loukoumades (Greek Donuts with Nutella) and both did not disappoint. I really loved the citrus honey syrup in the Baklava. The Loukoumades had a crispy shell and nice a fluffy on the inside and the Nutella amount was perfect. This place is very good and well worth the price in my opinion. I loved the fact that they took the time to make sure my son with allergies was safe.

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.

Update to my earlier review - not much to add. In my opinion, Culvers still has one of the best…read morefast food burgers in the area. Service at this location is good. You order at the counter and very quickly they deliver the food to your table. This time, I had a double butter burger basket. The double burger is a substantial amount of meat - you'd better be hungry. Their fries are very good - they were delivered hot and crisp. And I like their root beer. The only negative is their gluten free bun. They do take it seriously and the bun is delivered in sealed plastic for those with Celiac Disease. But the bun does not hold up - it starts to fall apart as the meat juices run into the burger. Fortunately for most diners, you'll get their regular bun which doesn't have this problem. I'd suggest to Culvers to test other Gluten Free bun options. Besides that, Culvers is consistent across their locations - good food and good service.

The meat in the burger is very good. Their fries are crips and tasty. And they have a good selection of fountain drinks, with my favorite being their root beer. While I'm pleased they offer a gluten-free bun, the quality of the bun isn't as good as I've experienced elsewhere. When it gets wet from the burger juices, the bun falls apart leaving a mess. I'd really suggest they try a different brand or make their own. Aside from that minor issue, Culver's is definitely one of the best fast food places in our area.

I associate Sonic Drive-In with Diet Dr. Pepper with their pebble ice and blue coconut syrup. When…read morethe grocery store wasn't open and my teenager was dropped off at school, I knew if I went back inside the house, I wouldn't want to come back out in the cold so I washed the car and then decided to treat myself to said Diet Dr. Pepper concoction. While I was ordering on the app, my brain saw a corn dog was $0.99 so "Why the hecks not?" and then a deal popped up for a Jr. Double Cheeseburger for $1.99. Sometimes my brain craves doing something out of the ordinary to combat the responsible part of my brain that sticks to a routine so I got both. The drink was just what I remembered, the corn dog was hot, crispy, and the batter had a good taste. I got the cheeseburger with no cheese (my body cannot process it lol). The patties tasted like they were from the golden arches. It was a little too saucy for my liking, but I wouldn't say no to it if we crossed paths again. The ambiance was...my car so it was clean and had my favorite radio station playing. The food was brought out fairly quickly and without much fanfare, which was okay with me. I parked as close as I could to the door so the staff member didn't have to trek super far. Again, not bad for a mini adventure off the usual path, but it can be a whole season again before I visit again!

I visited Sonic for the first time ever this month. I had a gift card that was purchased online and…read moreprinted on paper. To redeem it, I had to use the Sonic app. That was a bit of a hassle, as I would not normally download an app for a place I've never been to before. Once I had the app, I placed my order using my gift card, and then had to add a credit card to cover the $2 balance. Ugh. My confirmation said my order would be ready in a few minutes, so I headed right over to Sonic and used the app to notify the staff I was in a pickup stall. There were only a couple of other cars there, but it took several minutes for my food to come out. My order included: A small vanilla shake. This was the best part of my meal. The shake was really thick! A southwest queso chicken wrap. This was also pretty good. I can see it being a good snack on the go. A small order of chicken bites. They were fine, but nothing to write home about. In all, my order came to around $12. I don't typically eat fast food, and would not have visited Sonic if I hadn't received the gift card. It was a nice opportunity to try a few items on the menu. I'd probably return for a shake or a queso wrap if I were in the area, but the long wait time would be a deterrent if I needed to pick it up quickly.
