    Cool joint great vibe. Lets start with the burger. Great beef. Seasoned well and cooked to perfection. The fries are cooked in tallow. They were good. They could be great if they were hand-cut skin on fried in tallow. Next the hot dog. Delicious. The sport pepper was yuge. According to the manager most things are made fresh in house including the sport pepper and gardinera. . When the manager approached to ask how things were, i said the au jus for the Italian beef was amazing. Thats when I found out the things were homemade. This au jus and the beef are outstanding. It beats Portillo's by a large margin. For me it rivals MelKats in Kenosha. My wife and daughter also had the fresh made daily custard. The chocolate with caramel sauce is a great way to top off your visit. We will most assuredly be back. I could drink a 32 ounce cup of that au jus.

    Al's hot dogs will bring you back to the 1950s. Their decor, jukebox, outfits, colors, etc. Pretty good food too! Service is wonderful. The owners made his rounds and checked on everyone. It wasn't too busy when we arrived at 5pm. Plenty of seating and parking. Great place to hang out with friends! My daughters are already planning a meet up with their friends.

    Al's was recommended to me by several friends. I'm really glad we tried it. Cute 50's dinner with great hot dogs and fries. I want to go back and try more things. #iraeats #iraeats1

    French fries don't excite me at all

    . Sadly, this will not survive. Staff is a bunch of friendly teenagers who are trying their best, thus the three stars.

    What a gem in VH! Loved the burgers and fries at Twisted Burger. A variety of different burgers to…read morechoose from that rivals places like Red Robin. We got the Cali burger which had avocado and bacon and I'm forgetting the name now but one with a fried egg and bacon. The buns on the burger were so good (I think they're brioche buns from Turano) - soft with a good bite. And the loaded fries we got were also delicious with green onions, bacon bits, cheese, and some sour cream. I learned that the fries are made in-house not bought frozen and pre-cut. Next time, I would just get regular fries bc they're so good as is! Would love to go back to try the smoothies. Everything seems to be made with care and quality at Twisted Burger and can't wait to go back.

    We came back to try new things!…read more Superman regular size milkshake-- tastes like cotton candy! Creamy and light throughout even after sitting in the fridge. El Zorro burger-- this was really good. There's a beef patty under the chorizo, so the chorizo flavor wasn't overpowering. Sauce is also not overpowering and not greasy. The large fries is definitely pretty large. The cuts are of potato without additional coating before frying so the flavor is of potato itself and added seasoning afterwards. I prefer it this way since the oil soaked ones are soft and delicious, but my kiddos prefer more crispy and crunchy end pieces. The Baja fish naan is still our favorite. Because of the loaded fresh veggies. Would come back to this local POC owned establishment to try more of their shakes and burgers!

Thought I might never leave! We cancelled our dinner plans to eat here instead. The smash burger was legit the best Smashy B. I've had in all of Illinois. Garlic aioli on the side brought a tear to my eye. Best part is that we met some tubular folks who struck up a great conversation and even shared their pizza with us so we could try it, too. "Birds of a feather flock together!" and all that, but when the foods good, the atmosphere is good, the vibes are good, and other people are there, having a good time? That's what brings a place from "good" to "great". We will be back soon!

    This was the first time ever been to North Point Kitchen and I will definitely be back!…read more Parking is across the street but don't let that deter you from coming to this fantastic restaurant. From the time I walked in, I was greeted by the hostess, who was very nice and same with the bartender Cary. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and is a great date place! There is some great views of the water too and this would be a great place in the summertime! The wedge salad was very good with their homemade dressing and same with the short rib pasta which was more than ample for two people. They only serve gelato, but the salted caramel gelato was hands down the best I've ever had! Cary made a fantastic French martini too! What also impressed me was the locals that were very friendly and made the evening even more enjoyable. If you are in the area, I would definitely stop by and have a fantastic meal, cocktail gelato like I did. This restaurant definitely earned their five stars!

    This place is absolutely fantastic. First off. It's a pretty standard American restaurant. It is a…read morelittle small but they do have indoor and outdoor seating. Look and you just stepped into a really fancy outdoor restaurant but the prices don't add up. Because even though the food is absolutely spectacular it is very affordable. Everything on the menu is actually very fairly priced and quite delicious. I've been here over 15 times and every single time I trust something new I'm not disappointed at all. It does get a little crowded so it may be a little bit busy on the weekends. That's why I usually go on the weekdays and it's always very fast a quick service chatterbox y'all rock and I cannot wait to come back soon. I'm here for another delicious dinner.

The order completes the confirmation email is sent at 7:31 pm. Click the link to check the estimated ready time: THE NEXT DAY, LUNCH TIME!!!! 12:15 pm the following day. What the WHAT?!?!?! Ok so there's no way to cancel the order, so I walk over and go in. Takes about 5 minutes before one of the two hostesses turns around to see what I need. I explain the situation and she says she can't cancel it, that I have to cancel it in the app. I explain that there is no cancel option. She says I don't know you have to do it in the app. I explain that I am not able to cancel it and try to show her... to which she says "I don't know I'm just the hostess". So I ask for the manager. The hostess Points to the bar and says "over there, the one in black". Well there appear to be three bartenders ALL IN BLACK!!! SMDH. So I ask which one, they are all wearing black. She lets me know exactly which of the three and I go to talk to the manager. I explain the situation *again*. The manager says to cancel it in the app. I explain again that I can't, and show her. She says she can cancel it but it will be about 5 minutes because she's making drinks. No problem, I tell her I'll wait up front. I go and wait up front. Couple minutes later.... Same hostess asks "do you still want those nachos?" (Are you kidding me?!?!) I tell her that I am waiting for the manager to cancel the order. She says "yeah I canceled it, the manager showed me how. Do you still want the nachos?" So I ask how long are they going to take? She says "a while" I ask "well how long is a while?" Hostess "I some know, a while " SO at this point I am not sure if I place another order if they will be ready tomorrow at 12:15 pm! I swear this is like a Saturday night live skit. Or someone doing candid camera.
