Overall, we love getting our groceries at Mariano's and if you don't clip the digital coupons you're missing out on all the great deals! Esp for the holidays!

BEST BUTCHER SHOP AROUND -- HANDS DOWN!…read more Dorfler's Meats has been my go-to butcher shop for the past few years, and honestly, I can't imagine shopping anywhere else. From the moment you walk in, the owners and staff treat you like family -- not just customers. It's beyond refreshing to go to a meat shop that truly does it right, from start to finish. The quality is unmatched. I happily travel well out of my way just to stock up on their incredibly fresh meats, top-tier seafood, and the ready-made, home-cooked meals that make weeknights (and weekends) so much better. And let's not forget the deli counter -- WOW. The sandwiches are next-level delicious, and the homemade salads are always fresh, flavorful, and addictive. If you're shopping for the holidays, Dorfler's is an absolute must. Their Prime Tenderloin roasts are unreal -- exceptional quality, fair pricing, and you can truly tell how much care and craftsmanship goes on behind the scenes. It's the kind of place where excellence isn't an accident -- it's the standard. The staff is nothing but helpful, friendly, and genuinely kind. From outstanding customer service at the counter to unforgettable meals at my family's table, we have nothing but positive things to say about Dorfler's Meats. Thank you to everyone at Dorfler's for all you do to stay open, keep raising the bar, and continue showcasing exciting, seasonal products that we look forward to all year long. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out -- HIGHLY recommend!

We stopped in today just to check it out, and it turned into one of those unexpectedly great local experiences. It's always a pleasure meeting other Greeks, and Petros, the owner, was incredibly welcoming; honestly felt more like catching up with family. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, and the service is genuinely personal. Their meat is of the highest quality I've had since Greece. If you happen to stop in on the weekend, definitely check out their hot specials. Overall, Prime Beef is one of those neighborhood gems that reminds you why local butcher shops still matter. High-quality product, great people, and a welcoming, community feel that's hard to find.

Garden Fresh is a very good store with a great selection of products from different countries. You…read morecan find a lot of unique and delicious items that are hard to find elsewhere. However, be very careful and always check the expiration dates. Unfortunately, I have found multiple products that were already past their expiration date, and what disappointed me even more was finding a different sticker placed over the original date, hiding it. I really like this store, which makes this especially disappointing. I hope management takes this issue seriously because customers should be able to trust that the products they are buying are fresh and properly labeled.

Of the two Garden Fresh locations, this one really is better than the Buffalo Grove location in…read moreevery way -- larger, more selection, more parking, and more attractive decor. I'm not sure if there's other international markets in this area that are really anywhere near as large (super huge stores like H-Mart, Assi, Seafood City, etc. are quite far from Mundelein). This store is truly impressive in the amount of options offered from hot food to produce to dried foods to foods from other local shops. Due to the size of the store, there is considerably more room to walk around and check out products here even where they're busy -- similar to the experience you'd get a Woodman's. The amount of decorations and displays is definitely much better here than most other grocery stores, rivaling Mariano's in terms of presentation. Prices are fair here, particularly for the international items which are competitively priced here compared to non-specialty stores. The produce is fresh and plentiful, with options for more unusual fruits and vegetables as well. At the end of the store, there's also a spot for dining and a few small shops. Overall worth a trip if you're looking for a one-stop-shop for all your grocery needs. This provides a comprehensive and enjoyable shopping expereince.

The reviews on here are either good or bad. I found this restaurant to be excellent from start to finish. We were greeted with warm smiles and our waitress Teri was also very nice and attentive. The restaurant is somewhat newly decorated and had a warm ambience. While the garden salad with blue cheese dressing and the lobster bisque were both a bit bland, the salmon with hollandaise sauce was the best salmon I have ever had. It was fresh and delicious and did not have the "fishy" taste that salmon usually has. The captain's choice with lobster and shrimp was phenomenal. They subbed out the sherry wine sauce with lemon butter sauce per my request. The lobster tail was more than a generous portion. Twice baked potato substitution was small, but fantastic. The custard dessert was fresh and delicious along with a Key lime pie martini. The French martini with the raspberry vodka instead of vanilla was absolutely fantastic too. I highly recommend you come for the early bird special like we did. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area! This restaurant definitely earned their five stars!!

The men greeted me and said "welcome back" even though I have never been there. The wait service is top notch, professional and knowledgeable about the items on the menu. I ordered the Canadian Walleye with a lemon sauce, and baked potato. The fish was fairly chewy on the edges which wasn't great, but the center was flaky. The potato tasted very much like a potato. I don't expect much from a baked potato, but it like they didn't oil and salt it for a crisp skin. They do offers a dessert menu, but I was pretty much done. Lastly there is the costs. Pricey. A single meal is going to run you about $40 with a non-alcoholic drink. Be prepared for that.

The guac is good and the tacos are better - they have a taco trio special and you can try different ones. We tried the arrachera, shrimp, veggie, fish, and chorizo tacos, and they were all fantastic. The sides were good too although a little small. The rice and street corn were great additions to the taco entree, I was definitely up for a few more tacos too beyond the three pack. The place is decorated really nicely too, with a lot to look at, it was a bit loud though so maybe not a place for an intimate date. Drink wise they have Pepsi, but also Jarritos. The margarita trio was amazing too. Definitely worth a visit.

Great for a Friday night! I got the seafood and beef tofu bowl with the stone bowl rice. I like how you can pick your spicy level - I went with "regular spicy". It was perfect - not too spicy but had enough of a kick to make my nose run. It tasted amazing! The soup comes out boiling and you crack a raw egg in it and burry it in the soup and meat and in a few minutes it's cooked! The stone bowl was so cool. Hot rice in a hot stone bowl works wonders if you love toasted rice at the bottom of your pot like me, I was in heaven. I will definitely come back here and taste other things on the menu.
