| Pancho's Burritos | Lake Zurich, IL | |
|
Authentic Mexican. Atmosphere and decore is nice and the service
is good (not great). The food was as I expected. It was good, but
did not blow me away.

| Buona | Naperville, IL | |
|
Fancy decor, like marble tabletops. Nice lighting. You order
at the counter, then they bring the food to you. Impresses me as
half-way between a sitdown restaurant and fast food place. The
quality is good.
I dub it a fancy fast food place (FFF).

| Billy's Pancake House | Palatine, IL | |
|
Well, its a pancake house. I had an Omlette and pancakes. The Omlette
was nothing special. The pancakes were pretty good and they warm
up the syrup which is a nice touch.

| Nayeb's | Schaumburg, IL | |
|
Nice clean place, with good food. Service is excellent. A bit
expensive for lunch. I will go back.

| Big Bowl | Lincolnshire, IL | |
|
Big Bowls are all great. This location seems to have dishes that
have been removed from the menus of other big bowls (Kung Pao Chicken
Noodle - with Shanghi noodles in particular). Quality is great,
staff is great, service is great. Do not miss a chance to visit
a big bowl.

| Culvers | Lake Zurich, IL | |
|
Wow. I had never been to a Culver for food before (only ice cream).
But, I tried a butter-burger deluxe. It was fantasic! Its also
not on anyone diet. But, its tasty, the kids love the place. And
they still have ice cream.

| El Famous Burrito | Des Plaines, IL | |
|
Burrito as big as your head....and tasty. Service is quick, like
an assembly line and most take to go, but you can eat-in. Note:
this is not on any weight-lose diet.

| Primo Pizza & Pasta, Ltd | Barrington, IL | |
|
I can't believe I have just gone to Primo Pizza for the first
time. It will not be the last time. The pizza is excellent. I can't
wait to try more of there variations. Primo seems to really care
about the quality.

| Franco's | Schaumburg, IL | |
|
Italian Bakery and Deli. Very authentic. Service is good, but
during lunch you might experience a short wait. They have tasty
sub sandwiches and a wide assortment of pastries. They also have
a daily special, such as lasagna.

| Circus Circus Steak House | Grass Valley, CA | |
|
This is the best steak house I have been to in Las Vegas. And yes,
its in the Circus Circus. The Filet is awesome, the sauteed mushrooms
are awesome. The service is awesome. You can certainly pay more,
but this place is best.

| Stoney River | Barrington, IL | |
|
Great place for steaks. Pricey, but good. Service is good, drinks
are large and the atmosphere relaxing. Its really in Deer Park,
but Deer Park is not listed here and the restaurant has a Barrington
zip code.
|
||
| Biaggi's Risorante Italiano | Barrington, IL | |
|
Excellent Italian. The place is casual, with excellent food.
I was surprised, I was not expecting it to be that good. The presentation
was perfect, the service was terrific and the prices are reasonable.
Its really in Deer Park, but Deer Park is not listed here and the
restaurant has a Barrington zip code

| Gino's East | Lake Zurich, IL | |
|
Gino's has my second favorite pizza, yes second. (Lou your
still the king). But, this is Chicago style pizza and the deep
dish is the way to go. This is not health food, enjoy.
|
||
| Champps | Schaumburg, IL | |
|
Champps (yes two p's), is a sports bar/restaurant with very
good food. They have multiple large flat screens that are viewable
from most locations. Food portions are large, you will not go
away hungry. Similar to Damon's but better food.
|
||
| Green Garden | Lake Zurich, IL | |
|
Relatively unknown Chinese restaurant in a strip mall. The food
is very good and the service is excellent. Prices a reasonable.
They do carryout as well.
|
||
| Blue Heron Cafe & Bar | Barrington, IL | |
|
Blue Heron is a bar that has snack foods. During softball season
the players all gather here after the game (its located right
next to the park). French Fries, chicken strips, etc. When your
hungry, it works.
|
||
| Omega Pancake House | Lake Zurich, IL | |
|
Omega is upscale breakfast house. They are open 24 hours. All
the egg dishes are very good, but I only consider the pancakes
to be above average. Omega is a good call for a Sunday breakfast.
Service is very good.
|
||
| Bread Basket | Barrington, IL | |
|
Tried it for breakfast. Very friendly service. Food is good,
not great. Expect a wait on Saturday or Sunday near brunch/lunch
time. I want to try thier lunch menu. I will go back.
|
||
| Chau Chu Chinese Restaurant | Barrington, IL | |
|
Pretty good chinese place. Its large, so usually no wait. Food
pretty good, and better then average egg rolls.
|
||
| Original Tracks | Barrington, IL | |
|
A hot dog stand that does it right. Two mandatory things in my mind
for a hot dog. 1. Poppy seed buns (got'em) 2. Celery Salt (check).
Its not health food, but when you a taste for real hot dog, try the
Tracks.
