Stayed next door at the discount-needsrenovation-ComfortInn and came in to have nice cup soup and a well made, well-presented club sandwich, cole slaw and mountain of fries. Wonderfully attentive wait staff and the kitchen crew making a club sandwich a piece of art in its' presentation. Thank You so much.

Longtime eatery with a warm feel offering pancakes & other American classics for breakfast & lunch.
Reviewed By monetkids
In from out of town and had to stop here, always loved it when we lived in the area. Huge breakfast menu and lunch menu so many selections with so many creative varieties of egg dishes and pancake dishes and lots of other items. Very hard to choose what to get. Had the hash omelet, super fluffy, with a bit of hash, potatoes, onions and lots of cheese. Had a choice of different breads but had to take Gails own homemade by her, banana bread that is sliced thick and grilled with butter. So so good. Also had the Potato wrap omelet, sausage and lots of cheese wrapped in hash brown and of course the famous banana bread. Great place, they do not skimp on portions, they want you full and happy, everyone super friendly and Gail is always around to meet and greet.

This place in rosemont /des plaines area doesnât have the full menu like the other downtown flagships . However, it has a nice patio area, beautiful massive bar and then a formal eat in as well. My wife ordered a pasta dish she loved and I ordered the pork chop. Yes, the pork chop was small compared to other places but I ordered it medium and it was the juiciest and best tasting chop Iâve ever had . All sides are a la carte. I will post photos Thank you for visiting Harry's in Rosemont! We're so glad you enjoyed your visit. Unless you were there late at night, the menu would have been the same as our flagship River North location. We'd like to understand what menu you might have received and would appreciate it if you'd reach out to us at [email protected] so that we can learn more. Thanks so much!

My newly graduated from kindergarten granddaughter decided on Katieâs Kitchen for brunch. After the graduation ceremony, seven of us went to Katieâs Kitchen. We arrived just as they were setting up the tables for our group. The server brought our menus. The guest of honor could not make up her mind as to whether to get the alphabet pancake as a âGâ for graduate, or an âSâ for her name. Two of us ordered the Tuesday special which was BBQ pulled pork for $5.00. Though we didnât want the French fries that came with, we took some slices of tomatoes, which worked fine. We also ordered a short stack, eggs Benedict, and several other things. Our server was very nice and efficient. The total price was reasonable. Weâd definitely go back for the pulled pork sandwiches!

Had the stuffed salmon and it was awesome. The stuffing was lobster which could have been a meal itself. Their lobster bisque is one of the best I have had and at Don's it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg! This place isn't large and isn't fancy. They just serve great seafood meals and fresh fish. I will certainly be back!!

Another place, I have no idea how they are in business. Very expensive, service just OK. Food is nothing to get excited about. They try to pass themselves off as a French restaurant but unless the FRENCH people eat over cooked and tasteless food then maybe it is FRENCH? I met Randy who I believe stated he was the chef. This man is clueless. I sent my food back 5 times to be prepared properly and he still could not get it correct. Perhaps if he was not so arragrount. There are many really great restaurants in Rosemont starting with Gibsons. You want good food, great service reasonable cost, go there. Hey, Thank you for considering us for your meal and updating your honest review about us. We see that you seem unsatisfied with the prices you had to pay for the food. The issue raised by you has been taken into account and will soon be resolved to better our future deals with you or any other customer. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. We would like to invite you to give us another opportunity to serve you better. Hope to see you soon!

Longhorn Steakhouse is a member of the Darden Restaurant Group, which includes Olive Garden, Capital Grille, Season 52 and Eddie V's. My wife and I have dined at all of them and we have no complaints. Founded in 1981, Longhorn has nearly 500 locations, including nine in the Chicago area and several convenient stops along the way on our annual journey from Chicago to Sarasota, Florida. Our most recent visit was to the location at 1470 East Touhy Avenue in northwest suburban Des Plaines, near O'Hare International Airport. Love the Western/Texas theme with expansive bar and TVs for sports fans. We started with shrimp and lobster chowder, roasted tomato basil soup and Longhorn Caesar salad. For an entree, my wife chose a shaved prime rib sandwich. I couldn't resist tackling the two-handed Big Sky burger, topped with shaved American Kobe steak, Gruyere cheese, crispy onion straws, arugula and steakhouse sauce and served with parmesan truffle fries. You need a big appetite but it's worth the effort. For dessert--yes, I had room--we shared a large slice of strawberries and cream cheesecake. Longhorn never disappoints. The menu, from soup to salad to steaks to sandwiches to dessert, always brings a smile.

Having been to the other Hugo's in the Chicago area we figured this one would be a sure thing. It was for the food and the service which were top notch. After all, you do get what you pay for. The downside was that it was very noisy. My wife and I were seated in a booth in the dining room and it was so loud we could not hear each other without using our "outside voices". Took the fun out of the evening. Will not visit this location again
