10. Texas Roadhouse

I know this is a chain restaurant (about Texas and the Texas vibe) but this place just seemed even more contrived than a chain should be and like it was trying too hard, if that makes any sense. Two work colleagues and I sat at the bar on a weeknight to get a meal after work. The bartender lady was very nice and accommodating. I noticed that she seemed to know several other patrons as if they were regulars. Well nice. I avoided the heavy calorie meals by opting for a barbecue chicken breast with rice and vegetables. My meal was lukewarm. It turned me off.

Old time Neighborhood Cafe. Not fancy, actually well below fancy. Service is friendly, fo od is good , price is a bargain. Not a place to take your first date but a good place to go once your relationship is established. If she doesn't like it,, she's the wrong one.

Stopped at The Pit Rib House for supper on a Saturday night. We were seated immediately-there were only 3 of us. The service was wonderful and the food was yummy! I had never been there before but my husband had with business clients. Our young son had a kids meal-chicken tender-and he loved them and for a kids meal-there were a lot of tender. The meal came with fries. He also loved their pink lemonade. My husband had the BBQ beef platter and I had the BBPork platter. It comes with two sides which you can choose from fries, coleslaw, baked potato, corn on the cob, or pasta salad. The coleslaw was creamy and delicious. There was a LOT of meat on the platter. I asked for the BBQ sauce on the side-otherwise they pour it all over the top and that's fine if you like a lot of sauce. There are antiques hanging on the walls which our 11 year old found to be interesting. We also took a sandwich to go for our son who was at work-Tex Mex Chicken sandwich. He said it was INCREDIBLE-so delicious. We will definitely visit again.

A friend told me about this restaurant last week so we took a couple friends and checked it out this weekend. One word: Yum! OK more words: we'll be back! Can we say jalapeño muffins? Or strawberry mint lemonade? Or beef brisket that melts in your mouth? Is yours watering yet? Go go, go!

There are 8 of these in Illinois. None of them look the same. This is a good one. Breakfast here can't be beat. Skillets (4 egg), pancakes, scrambles, eggs Benedict, then a lunch & dinner menu on top of all that. Deliciously prepared meals, great service, place was busy at 10am on a Tuesday just sayin'. Good location on RT 83 1 mile north of I-55. I have been to 4 of the 8 locations...this might be the best, you tell me.

Always fun to visit a Diners, Drive Ins and Dives location and this location didn't disappoint. The famous chicken dinner states it takes 30 mins, so place your order and relax with the soup and salad bar. If you're in a hurry this isn't the place to visit. But so very much worth the wait. Service is friendly and makes sure you're taken care of. Menu has so many good things it will take more than one visit for sure

Topaz recently shutdown and did an inside-out makeover, including menu. This was my first visit since and in some time. I always enjoyed Topaz, especially for their eastern European wine options including Serbian wines. I enjoyed their classic Manhattan and then shared wine with my colleague. This is where I took issue and not until after I was home. The shiraz I ordered was $32. While the server presented the bottle, I was in conversation, it is dimly lit and I gave a courtesy ok. It was a good shiraz. In reviewing the check later that night, they charged me for a $56 bottle. My fault. Lesson learned. Watch for a bait and switch. Review your wine and check.I had smalls while my colleague had the NY strip. He enjoyed it. Though, inconsistently cooked to his liking. I had a side of delicious BBQ cauliflower. Great texture and taste. The grilled rapini was nicely charred and crispy. But dry. It needed a hit of lemon and garlic to finish. The roasted potatoes were taste. Crisp outside and creamy inside. Plenty of leftovers.I look forward to returning, being mindful of the wine.

This is a beautiful restaurant with wonderful food, very attentive staff and audio/visual equipment for your use. We were in a private dining room that could accommodate 50 to 75 people. The meal can be served family style with a fixed menu or tailored to individual requests. The food was very good, served hot and delicious. There was ice cream for dessert. You also have the availability of ordering from a bar, both cocktails and soda. Tea, coffee and water were served at the table. We spent a wonderful afternoon relating stories and celebrating my mothers life well lived.

The restaurant is nicely decorated in a up-scale style, reminicent of the art deco 1920's era. The chairs were comfortable and the bar room seemed inviting. Everything was clean. They could use shades on the upper windows. People facing the windows had to deal with the sun in their eyes.I ordered a Derby Mule ($15) which tasted like a whiskey sour, but came in one of the frosted copper mugs I love. The others shared a bottle of wine which was too dry for their taste and then another blend which was better. My entree was a small Waldorf salad topped with 3-4 tasty grilled shrimp (about $20). Quite satisfactory. The crusty bread and butter were good too.My husband said his steak was very good, but I was amazed at the tiny piece of meat for about $29-$39. The poor thing sat all alone in the middle of an empty white plate. No sides, no garnish. All sides, soup, and salad are priced separately. My friend allowed me a taste of her brussle sprouts which were okay, but not nearly as tasty as those I'd had in Geneva a few days earlier. My husand's huge baked potato arrived looking like a small loaf of bread. It was accompanied by cute little dishes of sour cream, cheese, and maybe butter. I was most disappointed with the desserts ($10 each). Our carrot cake was huge, but also damp and heavy. My husband and I each had a sliver and brought the rest home, only to throw it out after tasting it again the next morning. The other couple shared a huge hunk of chocolate cake and gave me a sliver to taste. It was bland and not worth the calories either. Our server was very nice. There were, however, long stretches when we didn't see him, though the restaurant was mostly empty. Over all, the experience not worth the drive and hefty bill. Our friends love the place and treated us to dinner for our anniversary. I thank them for their kindness and wonderful company, but this place was not for me.

First time dinners at Cooper's Hawk. We had a pleasant dinner with friends on Sunday evening. Our friends are members so we enjoyed the wine options and was very pleased. Service was excellent, our server was very helpful, attentive and knowledgable about the wine offerings and menu. Our meal was a little less than what we expected. Our pasta was not fully cooked so that made the experience a little disappointing and not worth what we paid.
